It can accommodate up to 60,000 people. It was originally designed and used as an Olympic venue. In the decades since its completion, it has been the highest-standard arena in Tokyo and even neon.
Now, this venue has once again been pushed to the forefront and has become the subject of heated discussion.
The reason is because Ghost Hunter, the most popular neon group at present, has issued an announcement announcing that it will hold an idol event at this venue next Tuesday.
Moreover, the notice also stated that other idol groups will be invited to the scene to present a unique live scene in the form of competition.
After the news was released, the whole of Tokyo was immediately shocked.
After all, everyone knows exactly what it means to perform at Kasumigaoka National Arena.
Because this venue has an unwritten rule.
That is, only one concert will be held here a year.
As long as one is held, no matter how much time is left in the year, no more concert business will be accepted.
Therefore, if you want to perform on stage here, in a sense, the difficulty is much higher than that of the other two legendary venues, Tokyo Dome and Budokan.
Therefore, this is also the highest holy place in the hearts of many celebrities and idols.
And for such an extremely precious opportunity, Ghost Hunter actually decided not to hold a solo concert, but to hold it in the form of a competition.
This kind of operation seems to contribute valuable stage opportunities to share with others.
In fact, he is simply declaring war on other idol groups on his own!
This clearly tells everyone that they are fully confident and can easily crush all other performers in the competition!
After confirming the authenticity of the news, everyone inside and outside the circle were shocked for a while.
You can feel the domineering and oppressive power coming from the shop through your mobile phone or computer screen.
Is this the stage for the king?
Is this Generation of Miracles, Ghost Hunter?
However, after a brief period of sluggishness, people began to react.
The first thing is to rush to buy tickets and be sure to arrive at the venue to witness with your own eyes the moment when Ghost Hunter becomes a legend.
In the past few days, the topic of this competition has quickly become the hottest topic in Tokyo, setting new data one after another.
Only 40 seconds after the ticket sales channel opened, all 60,000 tickets were sold out.
Within two days, the sales record of peripheral commemorative products hit the highest level in ten years, surpassing the second place by four times.
Six hours before the competition started, more than 100,000 people were stranded on the streets of Shinjuku, and the transportation system in Shinjuku City was officially paralyzed.
At 6:30 in the evening, amid the cheers of people, the entrances to the National Kasumigaoka Land Arena opened one after another. The lucky ones who got the tickets could not contain their excitement and began to check their tickets to enter.
And those who didn't grab the tickets had no intention of leaving. Instead, they persevered and squatted on the street outside the arena, fully anticipating the sound leaks from the venue later.
...
National Kasumigaoka Land Arena.
Backstage, in the special lounge.
At this moment, Ghost Hunter's Hoshino Tae and others are doing the final touch-up in front of the dressing table.
Taking advantage of this free time, Hayao Fujiwara on her right turned her head curiously and asked.
"Captain, actually there is something I have always wanted to ask you."
"Do you really think that Yagami Sora has such great potential that it's worth the risk of offending the fifth team to recruit him?"
"Are you asking me? In fact, I don't know anything about this kind of thing."
"However, since he is someone whom Sister Otonashi values, he should be somewhat capable."
Hoshino Tae turned her cheek and looked at herself in the mirror carefully to confirm that her condition was perfect.
Hearing this answer, Hayao Fujiwara couldn't help but be stunned.
"Huh? But isn't it because of him that the captain has to have this idol showdown with the fifth team?"
"Hmm...Actually, that's not entirely true." Hoshino Tae thought seriously.
"If I have to say it, the reason may be more because I want to see Otonashi-san appear."
"?"
Hearing this, Hayao Fujiwara couldn't help but look confused.
"Could it be that this is the real reason why the captain wants to have this idol showdown?"
"Why, isn't this reason enough?" Hoshino Tae asked doubtfully.
She then closed her eyes, stretched out her hands, and touched the air in front of her as if touching a crystal ball, looking very intoxicated.
"Imagine how shy Hao Fei will look when she has to take off her kimono and put on her idol's costume with her expressionless face, as delicate as a porcelain doll.
."
"Well... I can't do it anymore. Just thinking about it makes me so excited that I feel like I'm going to heaven."
"If I can see Otonashi-san like this, I won't have any complaints even if I lose."
Seeing Tae Hoshino, who was holding her body and starting to shake, Haruki Aikawa couldn't help but join the discussion.
"Wait a minute, Captain, do you think we will lose this duel?"
"Isn't this natural?"
Hoshino Tae let go of her hand, sighed softly, and drew the shape of a tachi on the mirror of the dressing table with her white-gloved hand.
"Even if we are to take Otonashi-san as our opponent, we are far from qualified."
"Even if the opponent cannot defeat us in the realm of idols, in terms of spiritual power, we are a complete failure."
"It should be easy for Otonashi-san to influence the judgment of the 60,000 spectators present through her incompatibility. Therefore, it is impossible for us to win."
"ah?"
Aikawa Haruki was shocked, and then couldn't help but retorted.
"But this... isn't this a shady story!"
"Well, it's a shady story, but what can you do even if you know it?" Hoshino Tae shrugged indifferently.
"Although I am unwilling to do so, she is so powerful that no one can resist her."
"So, let's just say it's shady. Anyway, being able to share the stage with Otonashi-san has fulfilled a dream I've always had."
Hearing this, Jiu Haramura on the far left covered his mouth and said in amusement.
"Captain, you are still the same, you still admire Captain Otonashi so much."
"Yes, after all, Otonashi-san is my idol, the so-called 'idol's idol'."
Hoshino Tae admitted generously.
Suddenly, the door to the lounge was opened.
Edomae Yangcan ran in panting while holding a stack of papers, and came to Hoshino Tae to report the report.
"Huh...huh...Captain, the final performance list has been finalized!"
"Really?"
Hearing this, Hoshino Tae's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise, and she hurriedly reached out to grab it like a child seeing a birthday present.
"Quick, quick, show it to me."
Her eyes quickly scanned the list line by line.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and the expression on his pretty face gradually changed from joy to shock.
Seeing Tae Hoshino who suddenly fell silent, the team members beside her were startled and asked quickly.
"Captain, what happened?"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Under the gaze of everyone, Hoshino Tae suddenly covered her eyes and laughed loudly regardless of her appearance.
"As expected of you, Otonashi-san, are you really planning to compete on the idol stage?"
"Moreover, we are still using this improvised combination to serve as our opponent. Do you think they can defeat us on their own?"
"Looking at it this way, our Sixth Division is really... completely looked down upon!"
The next moment, under the horrified eyes of the team members, a green flame burst out from her left hand without any warning, burning up the performance list.
Looking at the blazing flame in her hand, Hoshino Tae's eyes were filled with a fierce and violent aura.
"Then, in return for your humiliation, we will crush them into scum!"
"Keep your eyes open for me, Otonashi-san!"
....
National Kasumigaoka Land Arena, center of the venue.
Central main stage.
The previous group quickly left the stage after finishing their performance, and the lights on the stage fell on the host who was responsible for the transition.
After realizing what was about to happen, at this moment, the fluorescent sticks in the hands of the 60,000 spectators in the venue suddenly surged spontaneously, forming layers of unprecedented grand waves of light at different locations, and there were countless warm cheers.
Residential areas hundreds of meters away can hear it clearly.
Seeing this scene, the host took a deep breath, his voice still trembling uncontrollably, as if he was witnessing some historical event, and said excitedly.
"Then, dear viewers, I don't need to say anything more."
"The combination that will appear next will be the absolute focus today."
"They are the generation of miracles, the undefeated kings, the strongest idol group, Ghost—Hunter!"
The moment they heard this name, the audience at the scene was like a dynamite barrel with a fuse set on fire, shouting crazily on the edge of explosion.
"Ghost Hunter!"
"Ghost Hunter!"
"Ghost Hunter!"
Following the enthusiastic cheers in the venue, the light on the stage suddenly dimmed.
Accompanied by the cheers of the audience, when the lights came on again, five figures in shining costumes were already standing on the stage.
Different from the lively scene, after the appearance, the five members of Ghost Hunter just stood there quietly with their eyes closed and their heads lowered.
Among the five people, Hoshino Tae, who was in the middle C position, suddenly raised her arm.
He stretched out his index finger and pointed straight at the gloomy night sky above without saying a word.
Following her actions, the scene that was about to explode just moments ago became silent.
The 60,000 spectators at the scene held their breath, and it was so quiet that they seemed to only hear their own heartbeats and the heartbeats of others.
Just like the soldiers accompanying the queen on an expedition, they are waiting with all their attention, looking forward to the other party's next order.
The next moment.
Hoshino Tae's arm slowly fell, crossing the auditorium in front of her, and stretched out her hand as if inviting.
A mature yet loud voice was awakened by her lips and resounded throughout the venue.
"Crutal angel no のように"
(Like that cruel angel)
"Young Mythical Nana——!"
(Young man, let’s become a myth——!)
At this moment, looking at the figure in the center of the stage, the audience widened their eyes in shock, and couldn't help but get goosebumps on their bodies.
Because an impact that was so powerful that it seemed to reach straight to the soul, the song violently broke into the mind through the eardrums, and in the end, even the soul couldn't help but start to get restless.
This majestic, majestic and holy feeling, just one person can surpass an entire choir of idols!
Is this the strength of Ghost Hunter’s vocalist?
It’s too scary!
Although their brains still want to continue thinking, their souls can no longer handle so much at this moment.
Right now, the audience in the venue only knows one thing, and that is to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime auditory feast as much as possible!
His body moved almost instinctively, shaking the glow stick, and letting out a uniform, strange roar like a beast, representing support.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!"
The moment Tae Hoshino finished singing this line, the entire stage was completely activated, the BGM with a strong rhythm began to sound, and the other four members also began to move around to coordinate with Tae Hoshino's next performance.
And Hoshino Tae held the microphone and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the performance of this song.
"Aoi wind がいま"
(The blue wind blows in your face)
"Breast のドアを叩いても"
(Gently knocking at the door of your heart)
...
National Kasumigaoka Land Arena.
In the public preparation room.
Five members of Love Life, Chiba Yui and others are waiting here for their appearance.
Looking at the live broadcast of the main stage on the TV in the room, everyone's expressions became extremely shocked at this moment.
After a long while, Kosagawa Maho said dullly.
"Okay, so strong..."
"Yes, the warm atmosphere of the scene can be clearly felt even here." Jingu Shina said solemnly.
Himejima Yuno looked at the blurry shadow next to Chiba Yui and confirmed to it.
"Has the power of the curse seal been used? Or..."
Under the gaze of everyone, You shook his little head with long hair.
In other words, isn’t this the other party’s full strength?
Seeing You's reaction, Chiba Yui's hands on her knees couldn't help but clenched slightly.
Can he really defeat such a powerful opponent...
Suddenly, a cool feeling came from her chest, dispelling the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart.
Feeling the coolness, Chiba Yui couldn't help but startled slightly.
Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand and touched the delicate and small bulge hidden under the costume.
The source of the coolness is the eight-foot magatama that Lord Yagami gave to him.
In an instant, Chiba Yui's belief became firm again.
Yes, how could I forget it?
No matter how strong the opponent is, there is a reason why one cannot lose!
Then, even Ghost Hunter can win for you!
...
At this moment, the other party's performance on the TV screen has come to an end.
"このCosmosをEmbraceいてHuiく."
(Embrace the brilliance of this universe)
"Shounen Mythical Nana!"
(Young man, become a myth!)
With the final crisp and powerful ending, Hoshino Tae raised her arm again and pointed her finger to the sky again, freezing her posture at this moment.
And this gesture seemed to be the signal to detonate that had been agreed in advance. In an instant, the entire venue was completely boiling.
Countless spectators stood up involuntarily, raised their arms, and pointed to the sky. Tears of excitement ran down their faces, and they shouted from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ghost Hunter!"
"Ghost Hunter!"
"Ghost Hunter!"
Looking at the boiling scene in front of her, Hoshino Tae slowly lowered her arms, with a smile of victory on her lips.
Soon, the five members of Ghost Hunter returned to the center of the stage and stood still. After bowing to everyone, they left the stage, leaving the audience full of lamentations and wails.
At this moment, the staff member responsible for the announcement also walked into the common room backstage and read to the list.
"Love Wife, it's your turn next time, get ready to play."
After realizing that no one responded, the staff was stunned and then continued to shout.
"Love Wife?"
"Hey, is anyone here?"
"That's weird. Did they all go to the toilet?"
Seeing this scene, Chiba Yui seemed to notice something and asked him.
"Um, are you talking about Love Life?"
"Love Life?"
The staff member looked down at the list in his hand, and then answered with great conviction.
"No, no, no, it's clearly written on it, there is nothing wrong with Love Wife."
"Sorry, can you show me that?"
Chiba Yui took the list from the opponent's hand and read to it.
"The new group Love Wife, the members are Chiba Yui, Himejima Yuno, Jingu Shina, Obsagawa Maho and Yu..."
She was stunned for a moment, then asked the staff in confusion.
"Wait a minute, is there something wrong? The name of our group is obviously Love Life."
"Impossible, please don't question our professionalism. We have strictly checked every piece of information on this to ensure it is completely consistent with the information you provided."
The staff member said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Kosagawa Maho on the side couldn't help pinching his chin and fell into serious thinking.
"Ah? Could it be that I made some mistake when filling out the registration form?"
"But L and W look so similar, so they probably mean the same thing, right?"
"That's right, everyone?"
"Hey, why don't you say anything?"
Looking at the people who suddenly became silent, Kosagawa Maho seemed to smell something bad.
The cautious way is to test the way.
"Could it be that...the meaning is actually much different?"
The next moment, a chill rose on the back of her neck.
Turning her head, You's pale eyes hidden under her long hair were looking at her eagerly, with dark tentacles faintly appearing beside her.
Seeing this scene, Kosagawa Maho couldn't help but shivered intelligently, and spoke tremblingly.
"Well, I didn't mean it...I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"
"Okay, now is not the time to pursue this kind of thing. Besides, it's just a name. Don't worry about it, Miss Sagawa. It won't affect anything."
Chiba Yui exhaled softly, then shook her fists and encouraged everyone.
"In short, everyone, prepare to go on stage with all your strength!"
