Flying over the bubble era

Now that the topic was picked up, Shinichi Iwahashi entrusted Tetsuya Komuro's plans to Mayumi Watanabe.

Manyumi Watanabe has heard so many stories about the romantic talent and the chosen beauty, and I don't think it's strange to get such an answer from Iwahashi Shinichi, but it's a bit ridiculous.

She casually sarcastically said, "Cinderella and the prince who chose her."

It's rare to hear such a blunt comment from someone like Wanyumi Watanabe.When Yanqiao Shen thought of this, he couldn't help smiling, and told her, "However, it just happens to be a good opportunity for us to do what Komuro-san did."

In Komuro Tetsuya's heart, this is not only a problem for Shinichi Iwahashi, but also an impatient attempt after gaining the superhero's supernatural power.But in Iwahashi Shin's eyes, this is a piece of negotiating weight with Sony that is automatically delivered to him.

The matter was so important that it was inconvenient to just explain it to Mayumi Watanabe on the phone, so Shinichi Iwahashi simply revealed a little bit.

Anything that can be used must be used.It seems that he is at a disadvantage and takes the initiative to give in, but in fact he has already achieved his real goal behind the scenes. Shinichi Iwahashi is such a person.

Komuro Tetsuya's willfulness can be included in his planning scope.

After the performance at Wangan Plaza, Tetsuya Komuro's status reached its peak.This new trend-setter is full of ambitions, but he never thought that he would present Yanqiao Shenyi with a problem, and in turn give Yanqiao Shenyi a great opportunity.

Not only that, the higher the status of Komuro Tetsuya, the more he can help Iwahashi Shinichi achieve his goal.Therefore, no matter how proud and conceited Komuro Tetsuya behaved, Iwahashi Shinichi acquiesced, remained indifferent, and was willing to help him go further.

Even though Shinichi Iwahashi's methods have been known for a long time, Mayumi Watanabe was amazed by the information obtained from the clues he revealed.

Of course, after a brief amazement, it was Shinichi Iwahashi's plan that made Watanabe Wanyumi more concerned.

If the distribution network belonging to GENZO can be successfully set up, it means that the GENZO series has broken away from the operation mode of an independent record company, and can truly be compared with those large record companies.Not only that, but in the future, I will be able to participate more deeply in all aspects of the entertainment industry, and even step outside the entertainment industry.

Knowing what the distribution network means in her heart, Mayumi Watanabe couldn't help but feel moved.

At this moment, Yanqiao Shinichi asked her, "What do you think of Wanyumi-san?"

Such a major event, without the support of Mayumi Watanabe, would naturally not be able to take place.Of course, based on Yanqiao Shen's understanding of her, he knew in his heart that she would never object to this matter.

Faced with such a well-informed question, Watanabe Wanyumi also deliberately replied: "I thought of the burning expenses."

Yanqiao Shen laughed loudly, and replied, "It's more than just burning."

If it wasn’t for the record company’s big sales for several years, they have several popular bands and singers in their hands, and there are several newcomers who are preparing to debut and have high hopes, not only that, but also got the trump card of Komuro Tetsuya, the road ahead is broad... …

What we are doing now is to do our best to widen and widen the road to the future.

This era of unprecedented prosperity in the recording industry is the best and last chance.

The reason for making such an assertion is that firstly, the industry has begun to enter the era of large companies squeezing and annexing small companies, and secondly, there is another thing that cannot be ignored:
When the Internet age really comes, CD, the medium that replaced LP, will also meet its challenge.

Although it is foreseeable that Japan will be the latest to be affected and the last to be shaken by the emergence of new music fashions based on the Japanese media's closed attitude towards new media, but it really feels shaken. That day is already a moment of powerlessness.

Therefore, the more we understand this matter, the sooner we should break away from the business model of an independent record company and become a comprehensive record company. Furthermore, when the new era comes, we will have the strength to leapfrog new challenges.

Establishing your own distribution network is a very important matter. It is extremely necessary to communicate with Mayumi Watanabe at the very beginning and win the strongest support within GENZO.

As for Kenichiro Nozaki, the cooperation between Kenichiro Nozaki and GENZO is limited to the label that Tetsuya Komuro belongs to, and he is not qualified to participate in the affairs of GENZO headquarters. This is the reason why he did not bring up this matter in front of Kenichiro Nozaki.

Wanyumi Watanabe expressed her support, and Shinichi Iwahashi began to draw up a plan. When Tetsuya Komuro sent him a request for a plan to be a music producer for Ryoko Shinohara, together with this plan, it was discussed at the meeting.

At this moment, Yanqiao Shinichi felt that all these things he did were "preparations".

……

After the performance at Wangan Plaza, Tetsuya Komuro became very popular, and TRF's records were snapped up. Such an upsurge surrounding Tetsuya Komuro unexpectedly spread to B'z.

Although, with B'z's current popularity, there is no need to rely on anyone's influence.This year, the band's three consecutive singles have exceeded 100 million copies, and they have become a super-class band in the industry.

Such an imposing band can only be the focus of attention, and there is no need to accept promotion from anyone.

Nevertheless, one point that cannot be ignored is that when Tetsuya Komuro and his electronic dance music became the current hot spot, Takahiro Matsumoto, who once served as a production team for TMNETWORK, formed the band B'z, and its music style has a strong There are quite distinct things that coincide with the current popular elements.

A band that has become popular and always appears around the public, and the public can easily discover the characteristics of this band.Therefore, while Tetsuya Komuro became the focus, another topic quickly gathered a lot of heat: the band B'z is the most fashionable band at the moment.

At the moment when the band era and the electronic dance music era are coming at the same time, this band combines the advantages and characteristics of the two and perfectly integrates them.

Therefore, B'z is the most fashionable band. After such a statement was made, it was immediately supported by a large number of listeners.

When all the albums released by TRF returned to the charts and were snapped up by the public, B'z also enjoyed the same treatment. The two singles released by the band at the beginning of their debut, after the popularity After the first round of panic-buying boom, at this very moment, they were bought enthusiastically again.

This enthusiasm can be said to be sudden, but it is actually expected.

For this matter, Matsumoto Takahiro and Inaba Hiroshi are indifferent, at most a little curious about the public's thoughts, and think this kind of blind obedience is a bit funny.Of course, by no means do you think this is a bad thing.

If it weren't for a commercial heart that hopes to become popular, when Takahiro Matsumoto formed B'z, he would not have chosen a handsome guy as the lead singer.Therefore, neither of these two rejects the heat of focusing on themselves, no matter what the reason is.

Fortunately for Nagato, Tetsuya Komuro became popular, drove the sales of B'z, and earned the band the praise of "the most fashionable band".

In addition to being proud, there is also a hint of ridicule that the slippery boy surnamed Yanqiao has a thousand calculations, which cannot be counted.

Today, Nagato Taiko has lost the opportunity to be compared with Iwahashi Shinichi.However, this does not prevent him from laughing at Yanqiao Shinichi, the most calculating and cunning boy, who sometimes makes wedding clothes for others.

B'z is unstoppable this year, and the current popularity is just icing on the cake.

However, relying on the BURNING department, they can use this heat to promote the band in a deeper level, and once again increase their influence among the public.

Taiko Nagato planned meticulously and set a very ambitious goal: let B'z beat the bands of the GENZO family, and even replace DREAMS COME TRUE in the hearts of the public, becoming the real number one band.

Since this is a band standing in the middle of the band era and the electronic dance music era, everything is not impossible.

With a band like B'z in his hands, Taiko Nagato feels that he has a bright future, and all the things around him are not worth mentioning.

Shunichi Baba went to Okinawa before, and brought back five little girls who were as black and dirty as little monkeys, and he treated them as treasures.

Nagato Taiko heard about this and sneered.Five children who are only in their teens, even in the era of idols, it is difficult to have a chance to stand out, let alone in this era that speaks by strength and values ​​creativity.

However, today, Nagato Taiyuki is full of ambitions and thinks that the future is in his hands. He has lost interest in Baba Shunichi, a guy who has repeatedly tried to stir up troubles but has repeatedly failed.

Although he would still pay attention to Baba Shunichi's movements, he dismissed his nonsense.

……

TRF's [-]-shot plan made a grand debut, and its huge momentum is destined to make this September and the following October, this combination will be the undoubted king of topics.If the singers selected to release their albums in these two months were not strong in themselves and highly topical, it would be difficult for them to gain any special attention.

A super-large plan requires the use of a lot of publicity resources. In the past two months, GENZO's publicity resources have also been greatly tilted towards TRF.

Compared with TRF, ZARD and BOLAN, which have plans to release films in September and October, are quite low-key.

However, ZARD is backed by Xingchen Agency, and they are using double resources for publicity. It seems low-key, but in fact it is luxurious and connotative. The free C/W songs were used as the theme song of a sports program.

On BOLAN's side, the band manager is in the hands of Wanyumi Watanabe. Wanyumi Watanabe is a small office, and the assistance he can provide to ZARD is relatively limited compared to ZARD.But the band itself is well-known enough and has a group of loyal fans. The early publicity has been slowed down for the time being. When October comes, the publicity resources will return, and it will be too late to transfer to BOLAN.

For long-selling bands, it is not impossible to use publicity resources in the mid-term.

Although TRF is in full swing at the moment, the band still has a huge market and a wide range of supporters.In particular, the two bands ZARD and BOLAN have long been famous and are in the front line. Even if the record company does not act, the media and the public will pay attention.

The reason is simple, Tetsuya Komuro's electronic dance music and the band's songs bring to the public completely different things.In other words, Shinichi Iwahashi's goal in running the band is to make electronic dance music and the band not conflict, but also to enrich the spiritual life of the public.

Recently, he has seen reports about the band B'z from music magazines. In the article, the writer called this band the most fashionable band at the moment, because they possess the most popular idiosyncratic.

Behind B'z is the VERMILLION record. These articles may not be the drafts of the BURNING department.

However, this band has been popular for a long time. Iwahashi Shinichi heard their singles when they first emerged. At the same time, he also knows the experience of Matsumoto Takahiro and Tetsuya Komuro's TMNETWORK.

At the beginning of this year, when BOLAN's new single was released, it happened to collide with B'z and was snatched away from the top spot of the weekly chart.In the end, the two singles, one after the other, both sold more than one million copies. When the music magazine summarized the music charts in the first half of the year, it called that week "the battle of the gods".

If you really want to say, compared to B'z, BOLAN is indeed not very fashionable.

However, paying attention to the success of B'z confirms Shinichi Iwahashi's thoughts: the era of bands and the era of electronic dance music can go on at the same time and achieve success at the same time.

However, since Komuro Tetsuya is in the camp of Iwahashi Shinichi, Iwahashi Shinichi will not launch a band like B'z that combines the characteristics of the two. On the contrary, when he runs the band in the future, he will be more Note that the goal is to produce a band that "meets the music needs of the public beyond electronic dance music".

It's possible that B'z could reach extraordinary heights because of this kind of just stepping into the right place and timing of two pops.But in Yanqiao Shinichi's heart, he always prefers to have scattered, large numbers of talents with their own characteristics.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket. When Komuro Tetsuya was the producer and took full charge of all matters, Iwahashi Shinichi withdrew his hand and launched his last band this year.

Discovered by him for many years, Sheran Q went back and forth between Osaka and Tokyo as an underground band to perform constantly.

This band is different from the bands previously launched by GENZO, and, in the current recording industry, there is no band similar to them.

At this very moment, the moment when the world turns its attention to Tetsuya Komuro's electronic dance music, it is a good time for them to debut.

Let Sheran Q debut after the performance at Wangan Plaza, this is Yanqiao Shinichi's plan early on.

Although there were plans in advance, at this time of choice, most of the publicity resources were concentrated on TRF, and the other half was allocated to ZARD and BOLAN, leaving very little for this newcomer band that is about to debut.

Looking at it this way, the band is neither a "super-large newcomer", nor does it seem that Shinichi Iwahashi has high hopes.
