Please pick up the small books in your hands, science popularization is here.

Fuji Rock Music Festival, generally referred to as "Fuji Rock" (Fuji Rock), was founded in 1997.

As the pioneer of RB's rock event, the music festival has more than 200 groups of domestic and foreign musicians participating each time. It is the largest outdoor music event of RB and has become the largest rock music festival in Asia.

The first Fuji Rock Music Festival was held on July 1997-26, 27 at Fuji Tenjin Mountain Ski Resort, with 3 participants.

Since the third edition in 1999, the Fuji Rock Music Festival has officially relocated and fixed the venue to the Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata, and at the same time expanded the holding time from the original two days to the current three days.

The stage has also gradually expanded into green stage, white stage, field paradise, dance studio, newcomer stage and other stages, which can accommodate more than [-] people.

The 2003 Fuji Rock Music Festival was held on July 25, 26, and 27. The tickets were sold out for the first time, and the total number of participants reached 10.

Some people say that Fuji Rock is like a small village, bringing people who love music together in summer.

In 2005, from the main stage of the festival "Green Stage" to the small stage "Kodowa", the Fuji Rock Music Festival has a total of eleven large and small stages, which are enough for the audience to enjoy the music in three days.

As a rookie band who participated in the Fuji Rock Music Festival for the first time, but already well-known, THE SUN will be arranged to perform on the biggest stage this time, which is the main stage of the Fuji Rock Music Festival, the Green Stage (GREEN STAGE).

Green Stage (GREEN STAGE), an outdoor stage that can accommodate about 4 people, is also the main stage of the Fuji Music Festival.

So far, many legendary concerts have been held here.

Because of the large screen, you can watch the stage from any angle. This stage is the stage that all rookie bands dream of standing on.

At this Fuji Rock Music Festival, there was a band that made Kiyoshi Sakamoto very interested.

That is the most eye-catching band in this year's Fuji Rock Music Festival, the British rock band "Coldplay" Coldplay.

As the veterans of the Fuji Music Festival that they participated in for the first time, no one knew about them at the beginning, but this year, they are already the top bands in the world.

If it is the audience who participated in the first session, when they see Coldplay, they will definitely sigh that time flies. . .

And THE SUN, formed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, participated in the Fuji Rock Music Festival for the first time this year. Whether they can leave a deep impression on the audience depends on their live performance.

The organizer also thinks highly of THE SUN, not only arranging their performance stage on the main stage, but also specially arranging the performance time of THE SUN at 8:[-] p.m. which is more atmospheric.

These arrangements made the three members of THE SUN band both moved and stressed.

This is not over yet.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Naeba Ski Resort, Niigata Prefecture, the band standby tent.

All three of them were concentrating on checking their instruments and adjusting their mentality.

So much so that TBS TV station and the film crew sent by the program team of "The Passionate Continent" to film Kiyoshi Sakamoto came in, but the three of them didn't notice.

However, this is also in line with the film crew's intentions, because following this kind of documentary program must be carried out without disturbing the people being filmed. Therefore, the film crew of "The Passionate Continent" are also happy to be invisible people. , just filming some shots of Kiyoshi Sakamoto tuning the guitar on the side.

At this time, when the three of them were doing their own things, they heard a very plain sentence from the manager, Uncle Ishida, which made the three of them who were very nervous because the performance time was at night changed. Got even more nervous.

"Your order of appearance seems to be in front of Coldplay!"

Playing in front of Coldplay? ? ?
The three of them looked at each other and swallowed at the same time, the tension in their hearts still remained the same.

Even Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the well-informed soul of the band, felt somewhat stressed.

Although the three of them practiced together continuously in the past few days, they still mastered both songs before the rock festival started.

However, after all, practicing in the practice room and performing on an open-air stage with more than [-] spectators are completely different concepts.

It doesn't matter if you make a hundred mistakes in the practice room, but on stage, if you make a single mistake, it's tantamount to a failed performance.

This is why it is said that LIVE is the life of a rock band.

Only LIVE can perfectly show the performance skills of rock bands.

A singer who lives in a recording studio is not a singer at all.

When the whole band was immersed in the tension, when one person was most needed to stand up, Kiyoshi Sakamoto spoke without thinking too much.

"Hey! Listen to me!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto clapped his palms, which attracted the attention of Masaki Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, and also the attention of the TBS crew. The camera immediately turned to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Both of them looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi suspiciously, not knowing what Sakamoto Kiyoshi wanted to say at this time.

Uncle Ishida, who was on the side, smiled when he saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto making a sound, and stood aside, watching how Kiyoshi Sakamoto relieved the tension of his teammates.

"As a qualified leader and soul figure, Qing, let me see how you are doing!!"

"Who are we?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi asked Ogawa and Chiba very seriously, not paying attention to the camera crew and camera in the tent.

"Eh? We are THE SUN?" Chiba Masaki replied a little uncertainly.

"Wrong, we are newcomers!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's voice suddenly increased a few degrees, and he pronounced the word "newcomer" very clearly.

"Newcomer?" Ogawa and Chiba continued to look at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, waiting for his next words.

"We are just a young band, a band that has only debuted for a year, a newcomer to the Fuji Rock Festival for the first time, we didn't come here to compete with Coldplay, we came here to perform with them, As newcomers in the band, we don't need to be nervous at all."

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was talking, paused for a while, seeing the two people listening to his speech very seriously, and then continued.

"Because from the moment we stand on this big stage, we are already winners!!!"

"Blooming heartily on the stage belongs to our THE SUN light, this is what we have to consider!!"

"So, all we have to do is leave the tension and pressure here, go on stage, and for the next six minutes, don't think about anything else, just enjoy it!"

After Kiyoshi Sakamoto finished speaking, he stretched out his hand with the palm down, and then gestured to Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki with his eyes.

The bassist and drummer of the band smiled at each other, and then stretched out their hands and put them on the back of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's hand. The hands of the three of THE SUN were all stacked together.

"One, two, three!" It was Kiyoshi Sakamoto who called out the slogan.

"come on!"

Then the three of them raised their hands into the air at the same time. . .

However, this scene was clearly recorded by the camera.

"This part should be kept." The film crew PD on the side thought to himself.

The person involved, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, looked at the raised hand, and couldn't help but think of the cultural festival, the first stage of THE SUN.

"Do you still remember our first performance at the Cultural Festival?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked the two.

"of course."

"Ah."

"We weren't called THE SUN back then..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto said in a sigh.

"Thinking about it now, the name Sunrise Light is really LOW..." At this time, Xiao Chuan really put on a cold face, and a rant came out of his mouth, which made Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki laugh out loud. stand up.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Seeing the two laughing, Xiao Chuan, the calm brother, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

The smiling Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki, as well as Ogawa Makoto who raised the corners of his mouth, this precious clip that can be sold at a high price among the fans of THE SUN band was also faithfully recorded by the film crew of "The Passionate Continent" down.

After this small episode, the three sons of THE SUN calmed down, and their tension eased a lot.

For the next half an hour, the three of Kiyoshi Sakamoto sat in the band standby tent. The sound of music outside and the cheers of the crowd kept impacting the entire space, but inside, there was no commotion in the hearts of the three of them.

Because, soon, it will be their turn to play.

What is needed now is calm.

Seven fifty.

"THE SUN band, get ready, go on stage in 10 minutes!" A staff member of the organizer walked in holding a form with the order of performance printed on it, reminding the three who were already impatient.

Upon hearing the news, the three immediately picked up their musical instruments, each of them gave Uncle Ishida a high-five, and then followed the staff to the green stage.

Along the way, looking at Niigata at night, surrounded by a large area of ​​trees, green grass on the ground, grassy roads, no garbage, Sakamoto Kiyoshi agrees, people give this Fuji Rock Music Festival praise.

“As expected of the cleanest music festival in the world!”

A few minutes later, the three came to the backstage of the green stage and stood by.

From the backstage, you can clearly see and hear the excitement of the audience below the stage and some screams from time to time.

The Fuji Rock Music Festival at night is the most authentic Fuji Rock! ! !

The audience swayed, danced and cheered to the music.

On the stage, the performers are immersed in the selfless and passionate performance. This scene makes people's blood boil.

"Some people say that rock fans who have never been to a rock music festival don't know what rock is like..." Makoto Ogawa, who was standing next to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, suddenly said to him.

"I agree." Sakamoto Kiyoshi replied.

"Then let's let them see what our rock is like!"
