Flying over the bubble era

Akina Nakamori was surprised by her inexplicable thought.And when she realized that she recalled her past self because of Ayumi Hamasaki, a shadow suddenly cast in her heart.

She didn't know what the entity of the shadow was, but surprisingly, she didn't reject this ambiguous meaning.

But Shinichi Iwahashi has fallen into new thinking.

After the bubble burst and idols entered the ice age, what he has been thinking about is to create a brand new girl fashion leader.In order to be able to accumulate relevant experience, in the past few years, Iwahashi Shinichi has signed several newcomers, released singles for them, and arranged for them to act as models at the same time, but there was little response.

Girl fashion leaders are born, this point, Iwahashi Shinichi firmly believes.The appearance can be packaged, but the sense of fashion and the keen perception of the times all come from innate talents.

Today, Ayumi Hamasaki's individuality, her aggressive yet subtly vulnerable beauty, and her determination to "I am who I am no matter what" all have a The potential of a stage star.

A few years ago, when he saw Ayumi Hamasaki's billboard on the streets of Fukuoka, Shinichi Iwahashi was evoked with distant memories of his previous life.He knew that there was an absolute possibility in this girl, as long as he could guide it and discover it.

But the vague impression that spans past life and present life is not as good as meeting this girl face to face several times, understanding her personality, and feeling her star qualities, which can make him more sure: when the new era comes, she can become that girl. Brand new idol.

When Shinichi Iwahashi confirmed the possibility of Ayumi Hamasaki, he also made his own decision on how to fulfill the promise he made to Ayumi Hamasaki.

He woke up from his thoughts, looked at Akina Nakamori, and suddenly repeated the old words to her: "Ayu's dream is to become someone like you."

Akina Nakamori smiled, and said to him, "I don't know why, but I'm very happy to hear this from Ayu."

"Probably because she really has the possibility to realize this dream."

Shinichi Iwahashi was not joking.He informed Nakamori Akina: "There is a follow-up to this sentence. The child said that even if Akina-san is regarded as a target, she is still herself."

Listening to the girl's confession, Akina Nakamori suddenly felt an aura rushing towards her.

……

It is not too late.

The next day, after Iwahashi Shinichi went to the company, he immediately called Watanabe Mayumi.After exchanging pleasantries, he went straight to the topic, "There is a newcomer who I want Wanyu Mi-san to know about. His name is Ayumi Hamasaki, and he is a local entertainer from Fukuoka. In a few days, he will be transferred to the office here in Tokyo."

After listening silently, Mayumi Watanabe asked back, "Ayumi Hamasaki?"

Iwahashi Shinichi repeated, "It's Ayumi Hamasaki... What's wrong?"

Watanabe Wanyumi replied: "It sounds familiar."

"She played the role of a student in "Twin Teachers."

"I see."

Wanyumi Watanabe paused, recalling what she saw and heard on the set.Then, he changed the subject and asked him: "Have you taken a fancy to her? This Ayumi Hamasaki."

"There is no girl with more star spirit than her." Yanqiao Shinichi replied.

Mayumi Watanabe smiled at his exaggerated words.However, under the circumstances, Yanqiao Shinichi would not joke with her like this.Knowing this, Wanyumi Watanabe immediately raised her expectations for this girl named Ayumi Hamasaki.

She was very interested, "When did you discover such a newcomer? In the previous selection meeting, her name was not there."

"That's a long story."

Watanabe Mayumi was half joking and half serious, "Then please make a long story short."

"Okay." Yanqiao Shenyi followed the good advice, "In short, I met her like this, and then I found her."

Wanyumi Watanabe couldn't help sighing, "It's really a 'long story short'." She simply asked: "About this Ayumi Hamasaki, is there any information that can be passed on to me? And the firm she belongs to, you contact them Is it over?"

"Not yet." Shinichi Yanqiao calmed down a bit, "As for her information, in "Twin Teachers", she played a character called 'Tachibana Momo', other than that, she hasn't participated in any filming yet. "

"So, there is nothing?" Wanyumi Watanabe became serious and asked, "Can you please repeat the short story just now?"

"It's really troublesome." Yanqiao Shinichi joked.

Wanyumi Watanabe countered lightly and cleverly, "You are asking for trouble."

"Well said." Yanqiao Shenyi surrendered and explained to her: "A few years ago, I saw her in Fukuoka, and I was deeply impressed by her at that time. I remember that she is a very distinctive beautiful girl. It just so happens that she participated in this year I watched TV Asahi's TV series and came to Tokyo."

Facing Wanyumi Watanabe, Shinichi Iwahashi was inconvenient to tell what happened when Ayumi Hamasaki came to him twice.

"I see."

Watanabe Mayumi's attitude softened.She thought for a while, "Since I have taken a fancy to that child's potential, as usual, I should contact her office first, just in time, please send a copy of her information over there."

Contact Ayumi Hamasaki's office and tell them that the record company has fallen in love with Ayumi Hamasaki and wants to train her as a singer. This is the most natural solution on the table.Of course, even for newcomers in Iwahashi Shinichi's favor, a regular interview is necessary.

Watanabe Wanyumi thought that she was a new girl, and suggested to him: "There is also Komuro-san, please invite him to meet."

"Xiaomuro-san has already met her."

"what?"

"Before I took her to the recording studio, Komuro-san happened to be there too."

Iwahashi Shinichi revealed more information.Wanyumi Watanabe has vaguely realized that his acquaintance with this girl may not be as simple as he said just now.However, after Iwahashi Shinichi gave an explanation, this is no longer the point.

Watanabe Mayumi asked him: "What was the result of Komuro-san's 'interview'?"

"I haven't asked yet." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "Besides, how Komuro-san thinks of her is actually not that important."

Watanabe Mayumi caught the point of his words: "Are you not going to hand her over to Komuro-san?"

"It's not sure yet." Yanqiao Shinichi was ambiguous.

If it is to create a real super idol, then Ayumi Hamasaki cannot be labeled as a "Komuro type".Even Shinichi Iwahashi didn't want Tetsuya Komuro's music production concept to get involved with Ayumi Hamasaki.

Iwahashi Shinichi has all kinds of expectations for Ayumi in his heart, but he has no intention of saying these words at this time.

This was not due to a kind of secrecy before the matter was completed. After all, the attitude he showed had already told Mayumi Watanabe that he had high hopes for Ayumi Hamasaki.

The reason why I put all this aside for the time being is because Ayumi Hamasaki is just an ordinary girl who has just acquired the consciousness of singing.Before this girl really made up her mind and radiated light that others could see, Iwahashi Shinichi was unwilling to put his expectations on her on the table.

Iwahashi Shinichi explained to Watanabe Wanyumi, "This child is only 15 years old, and it is still too early."

"15 years old..."

Mayumi Watanabe couldn't help but consider Shinichi Iwahashi's intentions.

I saw it once many years ago, and I can't forget this girl.Now that we meet, I can't wait to set her down.Not only that, but Shinichi Iwahashi also expressed to her that he was unwilling to hand over this girl to Tetsuya Komuro to make it.

With the tacit understanding accumulated over the years of cooperation, Mayumi Watanabe thought she had guessed the true meaning of Shinichi Iwahashi.

Whenever Shinichi Iwahashi seems to be lacking in rules and he has lost his usual prudence in a certain matter, Mayumi Watanabe will realize that the picture scroll unfolding in front of him is an incomplete jigsaw puzzle.

And she didn't mind, when Yanqiao Shinichi handed over the incomplete jigsaw puzzle, she completed it with her own ideas.

The collaboration with Tetsuya Komuro opened up a new trend, but Shinichi Iwahashi always adheres to the concept of not putting eggs in one basket and actively explores newcomers with different styles.

If this chosen girl cannot become a newcomer to the Komuro family, perhaps she will become an egg that Shinichi Iwahashi put in another basket.

Watanabe Wanyumi realized this possibility, and then remembered Ayumi Hamasaki's age.

A 15-year-old girl, a girl who is not in a hurry to make her debut, a girl who is active as a girl model and actress...

She couldn't help frowning when she thought of Yanqiao Shinichi's intention of making this call to her.

While Wanyumi Watanabe was thinking silently, Shinichi Iwahashi spoke again and told her: "In short, the most important thing right now is to get the child's contract. Once you get the contract, no matter how you arrange it later, you will be much more relaxed. .”

Watanabe Wanyumi asked back: "What kind of contract do you mean by the contract?"

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help laughing.His tone was full of admiration, "As expected of Wanyumi-san, I want everything."

"Come on." Wanyumi Watanabe didn't listen to him. She told Shinichi Iwahashi what she should have said: "Before this kid named Ayumi Hamasaki can officially debut as a 'singer', it will take a few years." Here, she will be active as a girl model and actress."

What Iwahashi Shinichi answered was a solution, "So, what I have to do is to avoid this."

After Ayumi Hamasaki arrived, she confirmed that she didn't want to continue her activities as an actor, and she regained her dream, after she showed the characteristics of her super idol, after she showed her determination, Shinichi Iwahashi made a decision .

Shinichi Iwahashi said the answer Wanyumi Watanabe thought in his heart, "Get Ayumi Hamasaki's management contract from her current firm. In this way, before she can officially debut as a 'singer' In a few years, it will be neither blank nor stained with other colors."

"Manyumi-san," Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "this child told me that she couldn't work as an actress."
