Flying over the bubble era

Backstage at the Wangan Plaza performance, Shinichi Iwahashi personally promised that he would run for Tetsuya Komuro as the producer of Ryoko Shinohara.

Today I met with Shinichi Iwahashi, Tetsuya Komuro brought up the matter again, and wanted to be accurate, "The production progress of TRF is going well, and there will be enough time to prepare for Shinohara Ryoko-chan's single production plan. "

Tetsuya Komuro is at the pinnacle of his creative ability, and he can come up with the music easily, and complete the arrangement in one go. TRF's ten-single single release plan, the ten title songs to be released and the accompanying C/W songs are all newly created by Komuro Tetsuya, and there is no stock.

Such a strong creative ability, on the one hand, this romantic talent is really talented.On the other hand, this is also a manifestation of Tetsuya Komuro's highly streamlined song creation.

In other words, Tetsuya Komuro is like a ruthless but professional composing computer.

About Ryoko Shinohara, Iwahashi Shin had already made plans early in the morning, and now he solemnly made a promise, "I'll just wait for Komuro-san's production plan."

"However," Shinichi Iwahashi changed the subject and made a suggestion: "The timing of Shinohara's single release is not suitable for this year." To be precise, it is not suitable for TRF's ten-single single release period.

Tetsuya Komuro understood everything, and responded seriously: "I will naturally consider this point."

TRF is now the representative of the "small room trend", and this ten-shot plan is a further dissemination and promotion of the small room trend.At critical moments, works that distract the public's attention should not appear.

The most suitable release time for Shinohara Ryoko's single is after TRF's [-]-release plan ends and the album is released smoothly.

After ten consecutive weeks of TRF bombing, the public has fully understood Tetsuya Komuro's creative style on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also need to take a breath and change to a new taste.

At this time, Shinohara Ryoko, an idol female solo singer who is different from TRF's disco combination style, was launched.The same composer has his own fixed composition routine.But the songs provided to disco groups must be different from the songs provided to idol female solo singers in terms of arrangement.

In this way, it has not only changed the public to a refreshing and delicious side dish, but at the same time, it is still a familiar flavor.

Shinichi Iwahashi's positioning for Ryoko Shinohara is a refreshing side dish.Use her to relieve the public's boredom, and then serve the real big dishes to the public.

After TRF became popular, it is necessary to launch the next group of singers who can become Tetsuya Komuro's masterpiece.According to Iwahashi Shinichi's judgment, Shinohara Ryoko could certainly become the chosen Cinderella, but obviously she was not destined to take on this important task.

However, judging by Tetsuya Komuro's attitude, he also made such a judgment in his heart.After all, it is one thing to ask Shino Iwahashi face to face to make a single for Ryoko Shinohara, but it is another thing to choose TRF's successor.

Komuro Tetsuya is a shrewd man, a businessman artist who will seriously consider gains and losses.The biggest advantage of working with such a person is that when he is pointed out to have made a mistake in his judgment, after weighing the pros and cons, he will actively choose a more favorable option without being influenced by his personal emotions.

After reaching a consensus on the positioning of Ryoko Shinohara, what Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro really want to discuss is actually the launch of another group of new singers. After taking over TRF, Tetsuya Komuro set off this trend among the public.

Tetsuya Komuro's idea has been made clear, "One of the successful dance music groups can already meet the needs of the public. What's more, with TRF first, it is already difficult to launch a group that can be differentiated from them and has the same strength. An almost impossible thing."

Combining this form is actually very difficult to operate.

It is easy to successfully launch a group, but if two groups are promoted at the same time, there will be conflicts in terms of resource allocation, song style, and the positioning of the group itself.

It may be a different matter if the two groups are handed over to different producers, but Tetsuya Komuro is in charge at the same time. In the end, there is a high probability that instead of having two popular groups, the first group that has already become popular will be dispersed. The showmanship made the two combinations equal.

A combination like TRF, one must have two, only this one combination is enough to satisfy the public.

Yanqiao Shenyi thought for a while, and suggested: "If you want to say that the style is changeable and malleable, she is still a female solo singer." To be precise, it is a female solo singer who has been idolized, not that kind of strength to speak, with a little old-school music Popular female solo singer.

The idol era is over, but the legacy left by the idol era will be inherited.Whether it is a singer or a band, or an actor or a model, when the company packages and promotes them, there are shadows of the idol era everywhere.

Useful experience will become a general consensus in the industry, and will not be buried with the end of the idol era.

Yanqiao Shenyi is very clear about this point, and he has consciously used this experience when launching newcomers.

Regarding Tetsuya Komuro's plans for music, Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't have too many opinions and suggestions.Only on the point of selecting newcomers, he believes that it is extremely necessary to give the item of "selecting female solo singers".

Tetsuya Komuro is the absolute center of this new trend. This is different from the era of idols or bands where a hundred flowers blossomed. That is to say, this created fashion is always Tetsuya Komuro himself.

As Tetsuya Komuro's collaborator, one of the most important issues is: how to keep him fresh in front of the public.

The answer is actually very simple, that is: constantly create different clones for this new god.

Single female singers are the most malleable.Just like the era of unstoppable idols, all kinds of beautiful and cute idols with different personalities fill the screen.

The most suitable person to be active in front of the stage as Tetsuya Komuro's avatar is a female singer.During the selection stage, girls with different styles were consciously selected, and when packaging, they set different routes for them to ensure that even if different singers stand on the same stage, the public will only feel that each has its own flavor , without considering the repetition monotonous.

Tetsuya Komuro's electronic dance music is fashionable and popular among young people.

If a female rookie with an idol temperament is selected, while debuting as a singer, she can also take advantage of her style and image to actively participate in fashion work and become a person who can lead the trend of the moment.One ring after another.

"Female solo singer." Komuro Tetsuya smiled after hearing Shinichi Iwahashi's suggestion, "If the next newcomer that GENZO will launch is a female solo singer, then it will be a girl completely different from Shinohara."

Yanqiao Shinichi asked, "What kind of girl is Shinohara?"

"It's too aggressive." Komuro Tetsuya commented.

Yanqiao Shen nodded, serious, "So, we have to choose a girl who is not aggressive."

Tetsuya Komuro was not sure if Shinichi Iwahashi was playing dumb.However, Yanqiao Shinichi's words sounded casual, but in fact, he had his own reasons.

When selecting newcomers, girls who are sharp and full of personality are needed.However, sharpness and aggressiveness are two different things.The general public can think that a female singer is cool, but they can't think that she is a tricky character.

Aggression isn't all bad, though.For example, if Ryoko Shinohara is a singer who will be praised for a long time, this aggressiveness will become her limitation.But if her positioning is a refreshing side dish, this aggressiveness is just right.

To put it bluntly, there is no need to think about Ryoko Shinohara's future.

The two made a preliminary decision on the direction of the next selection of newcomers.The next step is to start searching for suitable candidates.

First there is TRF's continuous release plan, and in the middle, we will arrange for the release of Shinohara Ryoko's single. If we want to launch a new artist, it must be at the turn of next spring and summer.

If it were to produce an orthodox female solo singer, the training period would take at least half a year for her to reach the level of her debut. It is a bit late to start selecting newcomers now.But if it is a newcomer produced by Komuro Tetsuya, there is no need to abide by the rules of the half-year training period, and they can debut after a little training.

Tetsuya Komuro's composition style even intentionally allows the singer to walk on the edge of being out of tune when singing.

Yanqiao Shinichi discussed with him, "Do you want to hold another selection meeting?"

Komuro Tetsuya rejected it, "In the audition held by the record company, all the orthodox female singers came to the selection, and they sang too hard."

Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at this high opinion, "So, scouts should be sent to haunt Takeshita Street, and pass business cards to the girls who are active in that area."

Takeshita Street is a reserved place for casting actors and models.Iwahashi Shinichi's tone was casual like a joke, but Komuro Tetsuya nodded seriously, "It makes sense. A real singer must not be a singer."

In this way, the requirements for the next newcomers are also preliminarily determined.

Tetsuya Komuro intends to find this suitable candidate by himself.From the perspective of "creating a clone of Tetsuya Komuro", it is very appropriate for him to do it himself.Of course, he did not refuse Iwahashi Shinichi's proposal to help.

……

Komuro Tetsuya came in a hurry, and after discussing important matters with Iwahashi Shinichi, he got up and left immediately.Before leaving, I still did not forget to send an invitation to Iwahashi Shinichi, asking him to attend his party with Akina Nakamori in a few days.

Tetsuya Komuro, nightlife guru, can be found faster in Roppongi than in his office.

After the meeting, Shinichi Iwahashi immediately called the clerk and told him, "Now there is a plan to select a few actresses to appear in the singer's MV and contact the editors of fashion magazines for women in their 20s. Chief, please be sure to provide assistance to us."

The clerk quickly took down his words and confirmed to him: "Do you want to ask the other party to recommend a suitable candidate?"

"If there are people who recommend it, of course we must give priority to their opinions." Yanqiao Shenyi changed the subject, "But please over there, it is best to send the résumés of newcomers from the cooperative firm to us. share."

The focus is not on the candidates recommended by the editorial department, but on the newcomers who have not yet entered the editorial department's sight.

Fashion magazines also have their main models. If there is any job opportunity, the editor-in-chief will naturally give priority to his own people.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi wants to choose newcomers and try to avoid already well-known models, so he gave the reason for "selecting MV actresses".This kind of work will definitely not reach the hand of the main model.

Of course, when it comes to showing their faces, they will definitely give priority to the newcomers they like, but with the pretense of selecting MV actresses, no matter whether they can choose a suitable candidate or not, they can easily sell their favors.

As a female solo singer, in the future, there will be many opportunities to deal with fashion magazines.

……

The clerk took the order and went down to make arrangements, and Shinichi Iwahashi reached out to the phone again, this time calling Mayumi Watanabe, asking her to help keep an eye out for suitable newcomers.

Wanyumi Watanabe confirmed to him, "Looking for a newcomer among the models?" She didn't find it surprising that Sachiko Kaminochi and Keiko Utoku were found by Shinichi Iwahashi from the photo models.

Now, even helping Tetsuya Xiaomuro select newcomers, he also puts his mind on this.

"Unfortunately, Manyumi-san's new neighbor is not a fashion magazine." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

Watanabe Wanyumi's office is running smoothly and making a lot of money. When moving to a new location, it doesn't need to share a floor with other companies.And her neighbor in the past, the girls' fashion magazine "KIRAKIRA", which she had cooperated with in the selection of newcomers, had also been discontinued in August this year due to poor sales.

There are so many magazines in the Japanese market, and the appearances and exits are staged every month.

"Speaking of which," Wanyumi Watanabe reminded him, "Kenyin has more dealings with fashion magazines. Nozaki-kun pursues the strategy of handsome men and beautiful women, and selects newcomers from among the models."

After Kenichiro Nozaki joined Yanyin's actor department, he was required to be eye-catching in the selection of newcomers.

No matter how talented the acting is, in short standing there, it must make people's eyes shine.

"Needless to say," Yanqiao Shen smiled, "I will call Kenichiro-san on the next call. After all, we are a joint collaborator, so of course we must ask him to help us."

Wanyumi Watanabe joked, "It seems that my priority is a little higher."

Iwahashi Shinichi teased her in turn, "I hope that later, Kenichiro-san won't say, 'Looks like Senior Mayumi has a higher priority."

When Kenichiro Nozaki called her "Senior Manyumi", she didn't think much of it, but Shinichi Iwahashi, Watanabe Manyumi listened, and thought it was a bit funny.But her tone was calm, "As long as you don't say that you have called me, Nozaki-kun will not say that."

"It's really scary." Yanqiao Shen said with a smile.

At this time, Mayumi Watanabe suddenly asked on the phone, "After TRF, what kind of newcomer will Komuro-san plan to introduce?" Her question was strange, obviously not about the newcomer that Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to find.

Iwahashi Shinichi recollected this sentence, and said with a little teasing emotion: "As expected of Manyumi-san."

Nothing can hide from her.
