92【YumiMETAL】Another Hero

I went to Primal Fear's show in Osaka. They are a German metal band. As I came in I saw a notice posted on the wall at the entrance to the venue. It said: "Today's show won't be perfect. If you agree to that, please proceed to the venue floor." A spokesperson for the band appeared on the stage when we, the audience, were waiting for the band. She announced, "They can not provide you the show you expected today. Actually, their drummer fell ill yesterday and is in the hospital. Fortunately, we could find a stand-in for this show. They were rehearsing with the substitute Japanese drummer until just now. However, the show will only be half as long as usual today." Then one crazy metal head in the audience called out, "That's fine! Just give us the METAL!!!!" and no one in the audience seemed to have any bones about it. That's the thing about metal heads! We just wanna ROCK!! She continued, saying, "Instead, we'll hold a meet and greet event for everyone after the show!" We were delighted by the band and the crew's respect for their fans. The band and the audience were united and got fired up together. I pictured what happened to the Japanese drummer that morning... He woke up and was having a cup of coffee while relaxing as usual. Then suddenly, his phone rang. "We need you to come here right now. Primal Fear needs you to play the drums at thier show!" "What what what whaaaat? THE Primal Fear? ...today??" Even though he had just a few hours to rehearse their songs, he ripped hard when it was showtime! When the performance of the last song ended, the band members and audience all gave him a round of applause in admiration. He became a hero in that moment, although he was unknown to anyone here until only an hour ago. I deeply realized that you never know when opportunity will come, so consistant practice and preparation are crucial. Afterwards, I got a chance and an amazing offer as well. But I'll talk about that another time... --------------------------------------------- Do you study English? Join our club! And why not read your monologue.
