Backstage Stories
IzumiーーA ticket to a rock festival?
ManagerYes. I'd really like you to take it......Some business came up, so I can't go.
IzumiBut I'm not that knowledgeable about rock, so wouldn't it be better for someone who liked that sort of thing more to have it......
ManagerNo no, you're always looking after us.
This is the pamphlet for the festival. Isn't there a band you like there?
IzumiHmm......Ah! 'Spinutz'[1] is a band I used to listen to a lot in school!
ManagerThat's good......! Please take these two tickets!
IzumiTwo?
ManagerYes, it's lonely going by yourself, so please invite someone you're friendly with and enjoy yourselves!
Izumi(It's been a long time since I last pulled out this Spinutz Live DVD.)
(For a time, I was watching it every night. The vocalist's voice was really cute.)
BanriAhh. I'm hungry......
IzumiAh, welcome back, Banri-kun. I'll get lunch ready! Today is Omi-kun's special cold pasta.
BanriSeriously? That gets me pumped up.
ーーSay, aren't you watching a Spinutz Live?
IzumiEh......you know Spinutz?!
BanriThey're a girl band that was trending just a little while back in the indie scene. It seems they've been doing more solo work these past few years, but they're releasing a new song this autumn.
IzumiAmazing, Banri-kun......! You're so knowledgeable!
BanriIt was published in a music magazine.
Izumi(The festival information would be published in a music magazine too, wouldn't it?)
Banri......Hm? What's up, Director?
IzumiUm, the truth is ーー.
BanriHuh. The manager did a good job scoring GuilSummer tickets.
IzumiEh, could it be that you can't get them easily?
BanriWell, out of all the summer festivals, they're pretty rare? It's the biggest festival in Japan, after all.
IzumiGuilty Summer Festival......so the tickets were that amazing.
I took them easily, just because Spinutz was appearing.
BanriThat's fine, isn't it? Luck's like that. And you like Spinutz so much you own a DVD of them.
This year I couldn't match dates with the pal I always go with, so it looks like there won't be any festivals this summer for me.
IzumiEh! Did you apply for these tickets too?
BanriNo, the rate's really low for GuilSummer, and it's a pain if you miss out, so I didn't.
Though in terms of the line-up, I'd want to go.
IzumiThen if you're okay with it, why don't we go together? I do have two tickets.
BanriHuh? Are you saying that for real?
IzumiYeah, it's next weekend, so if your schedule's still open ーー.
BanriOf course I'll go ♪ Rather, I'd clear my schedule for it.
IzumiThat's good. Then let's go together.
Ah, but it'll be my first time at a rock festival, so I might cause you trouble here and there.
BanriTrouble?
IzumiAre there rules and things? I don't really know about that.
BanriThat's easy~, easy~! Leave it to me! I'm used to festivals.
Let's enjoy GuilSummer together, Director!
IzumiYeah, thanks!
IzumiBanri-kun, aren't the bags heavy? I'll carry some too.
BanriAh? It's fine, it's fine.
Thanks to you, the tickets were free, so I've gotta do at least this, you know.
IzumiReally? If they get heavy, don't hesitate to let me know.
BanriSure.
IzumiStill, what will we do with such big luggage? Didn't you tell me we were only bringing the bare minimum yesterday?
BanriWell, wait 'til you see it. Say, it's starting to get crowded. It'll be a pain if we get separated, so give me a hand?
IzumiEh? Sure, I don't have much luggage. I can't let you carry any more than that ーー.
BanriNot like that; I mean let's join hands. Here, this way.
IzumiWoah......
That's a lot of tents.
BanriGuilSummer's a huge festival, after all. There aren't many events of this scale in Japan.
IzumiHuh, I've gotten really excited somehow!
BanriWell then, let's go secure our base too, shall we.
IzumiOur base?
BanriYa. Ahh......mm, ーーright, around here should do it.
As I thought, you need a tent for shade.
IzumiThat huge bag was a tent!?
BanriYeah. It'll be tough on you if you're always in the sun.
IzumiThanks. I hadn't thought about that sort of thing at all.
BanriAren't you glad you invited me?
IzumiYeah! I'll help set up the tent too!
BanriIt's fine. This is a one-touch design.
ーーRight, it's done. Bring out the chairs too......and. Come in this way, Director.
IzumiYou're skillful. As expected.
BanriFlattery won't get you anywhere.
For the time being, we've secured our location, so next is to check the timetable.
Mmkay, the band I really want to see is ーー.
Ah, they're the closer for the grand stage!
IzumiThe grand stage?
BanriIt's the biggest stage at GuilSummer.
Oh, Spinutz is before the band I want to see, isn't it? We can see them one after the other. Lucky ♪
IzumiThat's right! Thanks for looking everything up.
BanriNo problem. So, what shall we do? Go to the ones before and lock in our place?
IzumiIs it difficult to see the grand stage up close?
BanriIf we go now, we might be able to see from fairly close, but it's pretty tough?
It's seriously hot today, and the standing shows have tons of people up front, so I think the mosh will be awful.
IzumiThe mosh......?
BanriYeah, the mosh is where you bump into the rest of the audience heaps when you move naturally to the music.
IzumiI see. This is the first time I've been to an actual live so I kind of wanted to see Spinutz up close, but......
BanriThen shall we try going to the front?
IzumiReally? If you're okay with it, I might like to try......
BanriI'm used to festivals, so I'll be fine. Like, I was planning on going along with you anyway.
If the mosh gets really bad I'll protect you.
IzumiYou're reliable, Banri-kun. Thanks!
BanriThen let's go to the front.
Izumi(Eek.....This is bad. I underestimated how hot lives can get. I might have gotten a tad dizzy......)
(But I was the one who said I wanted to go to the front. I'll try my best for a little longer......)
BanriAren't you tired, Director? There's still a while to go before Spinutz.
IzumiI-I'm fine! I've gotten used to the mosh, too!
BanriDon't push yourself.
Your true aim is just before the finale. It'd be a waste if you exhausted yourself before then.
C'mon, let's return to the tent for a bit.
Izumi(Sigh......You understand once you're away from the stage, but it really was incredibly hot......)
(It feels like after you get out of a sauna......)
BanriYou're sweating a lot, and your face is bright red. Put this on your forehead. This one's for behind your neck.
IzumiYou even brought cold packs. They're chilly; it feels good~.
BanriCool down properly and then take sips of water. Here, I've taken the caps off for you.
IzumiYour service is impeccable......thanks.
BanriI'd like to recover our strength before Spinutz.
IzumiSorry, Banri-kun. I'm the one who said I wanted to go in front.
BanriNo biggie. There's no point if you're not enjoying yourself.
IzumiIf there's a band you're interested in, you can go; don't worry about me.
BanriI'm telling you that I want to enjoy this with you.
I can listen to music after this too, so don't worry about it. Here, cool down, cool down.
The sun will set in a bit, so if you're up to it, we could challenge ourselves to going up the front again after you've cooled down?
IzumiYeah. Really, Banri-kun, thank you.
BanriI hadn't thought we'd be able to come this far front.
IzumiYou're right; the stage is so close. We might be in luck.
BanriNo mistake about it.
Izumi......Thanks for before. I've cooled down, so I think I'm fine now.
BanriI told you not to worry about it. Look, aren't Spinutz about to start soon?
IzumiAh! They really did come out! I can see them really well! Ah, did our eyes meet just then!?
BanriNice, huh.
IzumiYeah!
Spinutz was really good......! It really is different to seeing them on DVD~!
BanriRight. It got super exciting~. Say, the new song's pretty banging.
IzumiIt's a song you want to listen to again, isn't it. I've definitely got to buy the CD when it comes out.
BanriI'm just asking to be sure, but you're fine staying up front like this?
IzumiI'm fine. Rather, it's so fun I'm getting excited!
BanriThat's good then.
IzumiNext is the band you like, isn't it. I wonder if they'll come up soon?
BanriAny time now, I think?
ーーAh, that's right. Listen carefully to the last song.
IzumiEh......?
Banriーー Oh, here they are.
VocalistーーAnd so, GuilSummer's seriously fun! We're seriously getting power from you guys!
BanriThese guys are good at MCing too.
IzumiYeah, and their songs are good. The time passes quickly.
VocalistI'm sad that this next song is our last, but we'll put all our emotions into it and sing for real!
Izumi(ーーAh, the intro's started. It's a ballad. All the previous songs were high-tempo ones.)
Banri............
Izumi(This song is in English. ......Somehow, it's a slightly melancholy singing style?
(I don't understand the lyrics, but it's a song that matches Banri-kun's atmosphere.
BanriAhh. I hadn't thought I'd be able to hear this song live. GuilSummer is seriously the best!
IzumiIt really was extremely good!
Ah.......Hey, Banri-kun. About the last song.
Banri......What did you think?
IzumiThe song was a little like you, maybe. The melody and, though I didn't understand everything, the atmosphere of the lyrics.
BanriDid you like it?
IzumiYeah. I liked it.
But why were you drawn to that song, Banri-kun?
BanrIAhh......Well, sort of like, I empathised a bit with the lyrics?
IzumiEmpathised?
BanriYeah. Well, I'm happy as long as you enjoyed it.
Still, that was a god-tier set list.
IzumiNow that you mention it, how did you know what the set list was?
BanriThe band's bassist uploaded it to Insta last night.
IzumiI see. Your preparation was perfect. As expected of the festival magistrate!
BanriWhat's with that. Well, I don't mind if it means you enjoyed it.
IzumiThanks to you, I was really saved today, and I had a lot of fun too. Thank you very much!
BanriThen shall we come again next year, the two of us?
IzumiThat sounds good. I'll look forwards to it!
