Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1191
TRF's debut single has not yet been officially released, but it has already shown signs of being a big hit.

And when the streets and alleys are full of advertisements for the group, and young people talk about the name of this group as a topic, people once again discovered that this strange group came from GENZO.

Is it the handwriting of that Yanqiao-san? !

At the beginning of the New Year last year, GENZO launched a newcomer, Dahei Moji, with great momentum.The born Daihei Moji became a hot topic in the fastest time, and set a sales record at the same time as his debut.

In the new year, at the beginning of the new year, another TRF came.There is a precedent for Dahei Moji becoming a phenomenon-level newcomer. At this moment, looking at TRF with the same momentum, the public naturally associates this combination with the possibility of "new phenomenon-level star".

For GENZO, the success of Daikokumoji has brought many benefits and topics that can be used.

As soon as the group's debut single was printed at the disc printing factory, there was an additional order from the record seller.There is a precedent of Daihei Moji, and this time, the record seller also has something to refer to when placing an order.

On the one hand, it is the public's attention to TRF, and on the other hand, the record industry is closely watching the new trend of GENZO.

During the advertising campaign, there were no public interviews, and the public could not focus on things other than TRF.But for the recording industry, the most important thing to pay attention to is the style and composition of this group, the name of the producer, who provided the lyrics and music, and who participated in the formulation of the group's packaging and publicity plan... Unexpected The concise and clear.

This group was established last year after the selection meeting hosted by GENZO. The producer is Tetsuya Komuro of TM NETWORK who selected the members of this group.

Last year, GENZO mentioned in the external publicity that after the audition, the newcomers selected by which producer will be handed over to that producer for production.It is not surprising that Tetsuya Komuro will be the producer.

What really surprised the industry was the power of the producer Tetsuya Komuro.Not only did he write lyrics and music, lead the work of arrangement, but also deeply participated in the formulation of various plans related to the group... And, GENZO really gave him such power.

He debuted with the band TM NETWORK and is famous for writing best-selling songs for Misato Watanabe. Tetsuya Komuro's talent as a composer has already been recognized.

Nevertheless, as a producer, he is undoubtedly a rookie.The newcomers produced by him made their debut with a super-standard lineup and invested a huge amount of publicity funds. It is the industry's surprise that they can get such reuse.

Obviously, Tetsuya Komuro's ability to perform to his heart's content cannot do without the support of Shinichi Iwahashi.In this way, what attracted the attention of the industry became: Makoto Iwahashi's affirmation of Tetsuya Komuro's talent.

A bit of a golden hand in the industry, Shinichi Iwahashi is known for his good vision. He supports Tetsuya Komuro's group so much that he can't help but let people in the industry pay attention to the trend of this group.

In this way, at the beginning of the new year when the young people began to taste the bitterness of the unknown future, and at the beginning of the new year when the middle class embraced the illusion that would eventually come to naught.

Amidst the public's eager discussion and the industry's close attention, TRF, a refreshing combination, officially debuted.

……

Regarding the debut of TRF, I have made a general plan as early as last year. When the debut date is approaching, I will implement it one by one, and make appropriate adjustments according to the feedback received-but unless there is any emergency, Otherwise, whether the feedback is good or bad, there will be no big change.

Tetsuya Komuro received the full support of Shinichi Iwahashi, and seemed to be responsible for all aspects of the group as the chief producer.And Yanqiao Shinichi took a step back, except for participating in the formulation of the publicity plan, the rest did not intervene.

He showed such an attitude of wholehearted trust, so Komuro Tetsuya also showed his skills.

Keeping a distance from TRF's debut, after the New Year, Iwahashi Shinichi first attended the DREAMS COME TRUE meeting to finalize the band's work plan for this year.Then, in the conference hall of the Imperial Hotel, I participated in the meeting of this collaboration between Akina Nakamori and V3.

Warner, Sony, and Polly Jiayin, the three record companies sent representatives respectively, and everyone sat together to discuss the details of this cooperation. Shinichi Iwahashi, the nominal chief producer, was the one where staff members from different factions gathered together. "reason".

Shinichi Iwahashi has cooperated with Akina Nakamori, and has just ended the cooperation with V3. He is very familiar with people from these companies, and the cooperation between Akina Nakamori and V3 is originally under the leadership of Tetsuya Komuro, Jiashu Lin, and Toshihiko Takamizawa. Another round of cooperation was born out of the cooperation of the three of them. Therefore, the general regulations are ready-made, and there is nothing in particular that needs to be renegotiated.

The cooperation between a popular singer and a newcomer needs to consider the sales volume and the exposure it will bring to the newcomer.But they have already become famous, and the cooperation between singers with their own status in the industry does not need to care too much about sales, audience acceptance and other things.

Even, such a limited cooperation is a great opportunity to let yourself go.

This time is no exception.What's more, each of these four people is an artist with full of personality. If they want to get together to cooperate, if they don't do what they want to do to their heart's content, then such cooperation will become meaningless.

On this side, Shinichi Iwahashi is sitting with the people in black for a meeting, and on the other side, Shinichi Iwahashi is going to the recording studio to meet Akina Nakamori and V3 who are about to start working together, to be a competent meeting host and to show up at the right time the puller.

Before TRF's debut, the topic exploded. Shinichi Iwahashi saw Tetsuya Komuro who came to the meeting. This talented man had his first taste of success, and it was difficult to hide the excitement on his face.Although it is too early to be happy before the official sales come out, the fact that it has already stepped into the threshold of success is in front of us, and even the staff are chatting enthusiastically about TRF.

Success seems to come easier than imagined, so Komuro Tetsuya feels elated.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care about Tetsuya Komuro's mood.In his view, it is not a bad thing for a "talented scholar" to retain a bit of arrogance.In other words, Tetsuya Komuro, who is conceited and like a peacock spreading his tail, is the ideal partner for Shinichi Iwahashi.

Of course, TRF was able to succeed, and Shinichi Iwahashi was also happy for it.But he can't really breathe a sigh of relief until the dust settles on sales and a complete set of promotional plans for the group is successfully concluded.

The reason why they are so nervous is because the success of the TRF group is related to the direction of GENZO in the next few years.

……

Just after the new year, Kenyin received a fax from Weekly Women, informing the office that they would publish news about Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi in the first issue after the new year.

So far, the two people have been dating, and the office has nothing to say. The routine one sent a reply letter, and the routine one reported such a thing at the morning meeting, that's all.

Even telling Nakamori Akina that she was photographed by the weekly magazine again, she can do it or not—

When Akina Nakamori heard from her agent Omoto that she and Shinichi Iwahashi were photographed again this year, she was also quite used to it.

However, even though there was no reaction, he still took the magazine and read it for himself.Then, he frowned and complained to his manager, "...Ping Taijun is a child, and he is not a public figure."

Nakamori Akina seemed very disgusted with the fact that the little nephew was photographed together and was published in the magazine's inside page.She frowned, and the staff who had previously regarded telling her that she was photographed by the weekly magazine as a dispensable staff member had to cheer up and negotiate with the magazine for her, reminding "please Don’t collect information on Mingcai’s family members.”

As for whether the magazine will listen to it or not, that's another matter.

Toshio Nozaki of Kenneko saw in the photos taken by "Weekly Women" that Nakamori Akina, Iwahashi Shinichi, and Nakamori Akina's little nephew, the three of them were out and about like a family of three, and he was relieved.

In the evening, when he entertained the executives of the office in his own house, he was like a kind old father, and said to the executives of the office at the same table, "It feels as good as seeing a married daughter living happily."

Those present may believe that Toshio Nozaki treats Nakamori Akina with the kindness that elders treat juniors, but no one will really believe that Kenyin's celestial locust will be so happy about the "Marriage of Nakamori Akina" It's done.

After Nakamori Akina, Yanyin did not release any popular singers.Although there was Akemi Ishii who beat Akina Nakamori to win the annual single sales title as soon as she debuted, but after that, she didn't improve any more.As a singer in Yifa House, there is no need to mention it.

Ten years ago, the inexperienced Yanyin was led by the nose by Akina Nakamori, crossing the river by groping for stones and found a Taopu star.Today, ten years later, there is still only one Akina Nakamori in the singer department of Kenyin.At this moment, if Akina Nakamori really got married, Kenyin's singer department could be declared abolished.

But not necessarily.

...Maybe, Nakamori Akina getting married can bring Kenyin's singer department back to life.

If Akina Nakamori is Kenyin's "Her Royal Highness", the princess will naturally have her responsibilities when she gets married.Regardless of whether the princess herself wants to or not.

Kenichiro Nozaki accompanied him at the banquet, listening to his father's words, what he was thinking about was, at this very moment, the group that was causing a sensation in the world.

When most of the industry set their sights on this group that turned out to be born out of nowhere, and heard the promotion method of "appearing randomly at a disco in Tokyo", and paid close attention to the group, Yanyin was no exception, keeping a close eye on it. With this combination.

To be precise, I want to use this combination to guess what Iwahashi Shinichi will do next.

After hearing the rumor that the group randomly appeared in a disco in Tokyo, Kenichiro Nozaki also made a special trip to spend the whole night in the disco, traveling to several different places in one night, waiting to catch this legendary group.

No one knows which disco TRF will appear in tonight, but it seems that TRF's songs can be heard in every disco.

Even in the process of searching for this combination, I was always surrounded by the singing of this combination.When Kenichiro Nozaki met the group as he wished, and followed them off the stage with the people on the dance floor, at that moment, even he seemed to realize what it was like to be "intoxicated".

When I left the disco, was in a quiet place, and replayed the experience of following and searching for TRF, I realized that I was being led by the nose.

...How could such a publicity strategy not fall into the "trap" of TRF?

At the beginning of the new year, GENZO, or Shinichi Iwahashi, brought another big topic.

A few years ago, Shinichi Iwahashi ignited the band craze and contributed a non-negligible force to the end of the idol era.However, when the band was in full swing, he turned his head to make a solo singer, and cooperated with the musician Tetsuya Komuro to launch newcomers.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket, it's so simple.There is nothing incomprehensible about the reason why Shinichi Iwahashi let go of the band's production during the peak period of the band's popularity.

What really attracted Kenyin's attention was the extraordinary reuse of Iwahashi Shin and Komuro Tetsuya.

Tetsuya Komuro took over the entire production of the group TRF, which means that this group is full of Tetsuya Komuro's atmosphere.

If this combination is successful, it is not so much the success of TRF, as it is the success of Tetsuya Komuro.

Even if this group is very popular as soon as it debuts, once Tetsuya Komuro is no longer in charge, then the group that appears in front of the world with "Komuro style" is equivalent to starting again.And Tetsuya Komuro, if he plays out his own style, even if he leaves TRF, he will be able to start again immediately.

The importance and cultivation of Komuro Tetsuya also means that Iwahashi Shinichi has confidence that the cooperation between GENZO and Komuro Tetsuya is solid.

What kind of cooperation is truly reliable?There must be common interests.And it is a considerable benefit.

Toshio Nozaki of Kenneth speculated early on that the collaboration between Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro was not just about making a team like TRF.However, on GENZO's side, Yanqiao Shinichi didn't do anything to reveal his intentions, which made Yanyin only able to stand still and wait for the moment when the cards in Yanqiao Shenyi's hand were actually revealed.

Yanqiao Shinichi did not reveal his intentions, which actually means that he has not really started to act, or in other words, his action has not yet ended.

"Waiting" is not necessarily a bad thing.

For Yanyin, if he catches Shinichi Iwahashi, it is possible to complete a comeback in the singer business.

……

But just when the magazine "Weekly Women" was released and the world was in a frenzy because of the combination of TRF, Akina Nakamori suddenly reported to the firm.

She plans to marry Iwahashi Shinichi this year.
