Flying over the bubble era

Although Tetsuo Hira is convinced of Shunichi Baba's talent, he will not blindly follow his decision.

At this stage where the situation is still unclear, if you take too big a step, you will put yourself in an unfavorable situation.Tetsuo Taira and Jun Baba brought Namie Amuro back to Tokyo from Okinawa. This girl was the most important trump card in their hands.Whether she can seize the opportunity to make a comeback in the new era depends on how to unleash the potential of this girl.Because of this, it is even more important to consider carefully.

After Baba Junichi listened carefully to the cold water poured over by Taira Tetsuo, he did not show any displeasure. Instead, he expressed approval: "Taira Sang is very thoughtful."

Ping Tetsuo also heaved a sigh of relief, at least Baba Shunichi was not in a hurry and lost his position.He continued to add persuasiveness to his words, "Until the situation is uncertain, let Namie-chan continue to act as a group. In this way, she will also be kept fresh and topical. It can be said that it is for her safety." zone."

Group activities and solo debut are two different things.A change in identity means a complete transformation.Since Amuro Namie is allowed to make her debut as a group, don't use the "solo" move easily.

Tetsuo Taira was able to turn his career as a Yakuza member into an agent and successfully made Yoko Oginome famous. He was the first to think of setting his sights on Okinawa before Junichi Baba, and when Junichi Baba approached him, he was able to cooperate decisively with him.Everything proves that he has a solid vision in judging the situation.At the same time, there is no lack of decisive courage.

However, Baba Shunichi's desire to let Amuro Namie make her solo debut is not entirely out of short-sightedness.After listening to Tetsuo Taira's analysis, he suddenly talked about Tetsuya Komuro.

"That Komuro-san became a gold medal producer by producing electronic dance music and created his own popularity. Now, he has set his sights on young female singers."

"TRF's style is unique and they are a very outstanding group. But because they are outstanding, it is difficult to copy. If you want to really set off a trend, you still need to create products that are easy to copy. That's why GENZO has to set its sights on female singers."

Idol male singers have always found it difficult to win the audience's favor, not to mention the Johnnys, who focus on male idols.The Japanese like idol female singers with different styles, but very few non-creative male solo singers gain attention.

What Baba Shunichi said is a simple fact on the table.But he changed his subject with a profound meaning, "According to this, the person who is most in line with Komuro-san's concept should actually be a girl singer who is good at singing and dancing."

Ping Zhefu showed a shocked expression, and a thought flashed through his mind:

Isn't this Namie Amuro?

When Taira Tetsuo realized the true meaning of Baba Junichi's words, he also understood his intentions.However, for now, such an idea is unrealistic.

Baba Shunichi broke the news at this time, "Namie-chan seems to be more like a GENZO singer than a VERMILLION singer."

Taira Tetsuo's expression returned to normal, and he politely reminded: "However, Namie-chan is the singer of VERMILLION. This has become a fact."

If GENZO discovered Namie Amuro first, they would undoubtedly have gained a newcomer with full potential.Tetsuo Taira and Junichi Baba brought back Namie Amuro from Okinawa, which at least eliminated the possibility of GENZO getting another general.

From this point of view, Taira Tetsuo and Baba Shunichi don't know whether they will lose or win.

In Tetsuo Taira's view, if Namie Amuro belongs to VERMILLION, it is impossible to have anything to do with Tetsuya Komuro, who is backed by GENZO.

VERMILLION and GENZO are not only competitors on the table, but the relationship between the BURNING and GENZO series is even more tense.Under such circumstances, how could Tetsuya Komuro, who signed an exclusive production contract with GENZO, produce newcomers for a hostile force?

It is true that Tetsuya Komuro produced a single for Ryoko Shinohara, but Ryoko Shinohara is a Sony artist, Tetsuya Komuro's band contract is with Sony, and there is a human relationship between the two families. Ryoko Shinohara even had a relationship with Tetsuya Komuro. The romantic affair of a talented man and a beautiful woman.And except for Ryoko Shinohara, Tetsuya Komuro has never had any involvement with anyone other than GENZO.

Baba Junichi took Tetsuo Taira's reaction into consideration, but he didn't care: "At the beginning, Oda Tetsuro-san was VERMILLION's exclusive composer, but Iwahashi-san still facilitated his cooperation with the GENZO singer."

Since Iwahashi Shinichi can use his means to openly use other record companies' exclusive composers for his own use, then why can't Baba Shunichi do the same?

Jun Baba said to Tetsuo Ping: "It is true that Namie-chan is the singer of VERMILLION. So, what we have to consider is how to take advantage of this - VERMILLION has a singer who is more like GENZO."

Taira Tetsuo was a little confused, so he simply asked him for advice: "What does Baba-san mean?"

"SUPER MONKEY'S will change its style starting from the next single. Today's audience is not interested in American youth style. Even if it attracts a few middle school fans, it will not help at all. What the audience likes is studio-style electronic dance music. We want to Just do what the audience likes."

Baba Shunichi smiled and said, "Hei-san reminded me that even if Namie-chan is still active as a group, it does not affect us in changing the style of the group. In fact, this is better."

VERMILLION cannot get help from Tetsuya Komuro, but it is not difficult to ask composers in the industry for a few dance songs with Tetsuya Komuro's flavor.

Next, he wants to make the style of SUPER MONKEY'S closer to Tetsuya Komuro's style.Although they are not singers from the Komuro genre, the public will see something familiar in them.

Not only that, this is a non-Komuro group with a Komuro style. The girl standing in the middle is more suitable for Tetsuya Komuro's style than the female singers selected by GENZO.

If fake goods reach the point of alarming licensed goods, it means that a turning point is coming, whether it is a good turning point or a bad turning point.

Taira Tetsuo was surprised when he heard Baba Shunichi's almost whimsical plan.

But Junichi Baba is already immersed in his own plan.He once again expressed his approval to Ping Zhefu, "Ping Sang is right, this combination should be allowed to continue to exist until they are discovered."

Even if they imitate the Komuro style, they are imitated as SUPER MONKEY'S and have nothing to do with Namie Amuro.Keeping this combination is equivalent to giving Amuro Namie a chance to debut again.

"Let's negotiate with the Okinawa Performing Arts School and ask them to select another member to come to Tokyo to maintain the current formation. In this group, Namie-chan is absolutely shining. Just look at this matter. Those who combine will know.”

"One day, Komuro-san himself will know."

When Baba Shunichi said these words, Taira Tetsuo felt the impact in his heart again. Unexpectedly, Baba Shunichi really had such thoughts. ...it's just gambling.

Taira Tetsuo has reservations about Junichi Baba's imagination.It is unbelievable that Namie Amuro is both the bait for Tetsuya Komuro and the fish waiting to be chosen by Tetsuya Komuro to leap over the dragon gate.

To compare Baba Shunichi's own approach with Iwahashi Shinichi's collaboration with Oda Tetsuro.But Ping Zhefu always feels that the two cannot be regarded as the same thing.

However, no matter how whimsical the future Shunichi Baba envisions, at least for now, his idea of ​​changing the composition route and making electronic dance music is extremely feasible.

In this case, he pressed his opinions and made full preparations for the reorganization of SUPER MONKEY'S.

The members of SUPER MONKEY'S didn't know what kind of private discussions the adults who decided their fate had had in private. They were only told later that the agency would select a new person from the Okinawa Performing Arts School to fill the vacancy after Makino Anna left the team. , and asked them to recommend their candidates.

The girls were quite excited. For them, Makino Anna, who had always been their trustworthy senior and sister, suddenly announced that she was quitting the team. It was the time to play drums secretly in their hearts. At this time, they learned that they would learn from the group they had practiced with. There are new members among the classmates. They are still a group from the Okinawa Performing Arts School, which undoubtedly brings a sense of security.

The girls thought carefully, but before writing down their favorite teammates on paper, they first whispered and exchanged opinions.Several people came to Tokyo together from Okinawa and got along well with each other.Even after her debut, Namie Amuro was the absolute center of the group, occupying most of the scenes, but she did not attract any rejection from her teammates.

It seems a bit incredible to onlookers that a team with different personalities can still have such a harmonious relationship.

After a private discussion, the girls finally wrote down the same name on a piece of paper.Their classmate at the Okinawa Performing Arts School, 14-year-old Nakamune Rino, took up the position of Anna Makino after she left the team and came to Tokyo from Okinawa.

Now, in terms of age, this group has become a veritable girl group.

There is no famous group, and the personnel turnover is silent.But at the same time as the members were changing, Junichi Baba reorganized the production team of SUPER MONKEY'S and began to plan the transformation of the group.To be precise, explore new routes.

Just as the members of SUPER MONKEY'S changed silently, no one cared about Shunichi Baba's actions.He is the only one who has great ambitions in his chest.

For Junichi Baba, just catching Namie Amuro is not enough.If you want to truly defeat Iwahashi Shinichi, you must not only seize the popularity, but also cut off his lifeline.

Just like what Shinichi Iwahashi did to Taiko Nagato until he had nothing to sing about.

……

In mid-April, Hitomi Furuya’s new single was officially released on the shelves.

After Komuro Tetsuya put the production focus on female singers, the first work released by GENZO, Hitomi Furutani's debut publicity scale is extremely grand.

Tetsuya Komuro is a topic of his own. TV stations and broadcasters are happy to support the single produced by him, and record sellers are also convinced that sales will be guaranteed.Hitomi Furuya's background as a model and her outstanding appearance have also become part of the publicity.Arrangements for her include regular promotions for singers, magazine interviews, TV interviews, and in addition, small meetings.

In terms of promotional methods, these arrangements have a hint of idol promotion.But as long as you make sure to maintain the right sense of mystery for Hitomi Furuya, don’t use yourself as a selling point like an idol, but focus on the music. In this way, you can ensure that you are using idol-like promotion methods without being considered It's an "idol".

This is how the experience of the industry is used. At the right time, some can be added or subtracted, and then it will become a brand new form.

Even if the public is doubtful at first, as long as you are firm on your side, it will eventually become the truth.

Tetsuya Komuro's creative efficiency is astonishing, and his arrangement of songs can be regarded as batch production, taking the high efficiency of electronic music to the extreme.Hitomi Furuya's debut single and debut album were produced at the same time, with a total of twelve songs, all of which are freshly released new songs by Tetsuya Komuro.

At the same time, he also created a new album for TRF, and began to arrange the debut of the next newcomer Kanda Uno.

With such a strong creative force, the travelers who brought their own hard drives would feel inferior.

Like firing cannonballs one after another, after Hitomi Furuya officially entered the debut promotion period, Tetsuya Komuro focused his work on another newcomer Kanda Uno.

This eldest lady, who seemed to him a bit troublesome, but was attracted by Shinichi Iwahashi, made Tetsuya Komuro feel a lot frustrated in the recording studio.Kanda Uno, who came from a wealthy family and grew up like a little princess, and Tetsuya Komuro, the more he showed his authority as a producer in front of him, the more he would get frustrated.

Although after leaving the recording studio, if Komuro Tetsuya and Kanda Uno met in a club or disco, the two players would definitely have a great time, but as soon as they entered the recording studio, they would hate each other.

Komuro Tetsuya was not happy with this newcomer. Inexplicably, he became angry with Ayumi Hamasaki, whom he had only met once before.

She is also a newcomer who falls in love with Shinichi Iwahashi, and she is also a girl who gives him a difficult impression.Not only that, but the difficult impression Ayumi Hamasaki left on him also contained some qualities that Kanda and Uno did not possess: the courage to challenge authority.

A girl who is only a teenager is already so sharp!
This trait in Hamasaki's character just pokes at Tetsuya Komuro's inner taboo.

Tetsuya Komuro has not yet met Ayumi Hamasaki for the second time, and is still not sure about Shinichi Iwahashi's arrangements for her. He has already secretly decided not to be Hamasaki's producer.

Tetsuya Komuro doesn't like Kanda Uno who does his own thing, but Hitomi Furuya, who is always obedient, has many shortcomings in Tetsuya Komuro's eyes.

Counting Shinohara Ryoko, they have worked together to produce three newcomers. Tetsuya Komuro already feels comfortable with how to produce female singers, and a sense of expectation is ignited in his heart.

Be sure to discover more newcomers until you find a perfect newcomer who can fully realize the idea in your heart.
