Flying over the bubble era

Since the end of last year, SMAP's popularity has been rising. The group's members, Takuya Kimura and Masahiro Nakai, have been on the audience voting list several times this spring.

Last year, Kimura Takuya was favored by the producers of Fuji TV and played a role in "Who Stole My Heart".Sae Isshiki, who stars in the TV series, is a popular young actress recently, and Yuki Uchida, who co-stars with her, is a newcomer who has just debuted. Takuya Kimura's role is ranked behind these two. He is secretly in love with the lead actor, and has a crush on his co-star, and finally laughed. Watch starring and co-star Mei Mei Lily.

After the TV series was broadcast, Yuki Uchida's popularity soared, and Takuya Kimura also attracted much attention.

One TV series made two people famous. BURNING's direct descendant Yuki Uchida has a bright future, and Takuya Kimura, who was assigned by Kitagawa, has not suffered in vain at Fuji TV.

When the opportunity came, he successfully seized it. After the TV series was aired, his popularity increased greatly, and audition opportunities came one after another.Moreover, Etsuko Kitagawa, the screenwriter of "Who Stole My Heart", fell in love with this beautiful boy at first sight. Fuji TV's autumn TV series on September [-] is scheduled to adapt Fumi Chamon's manga "White Paper of Love" again. Etsuko Kitagawa will serve as the screenwriter and strongly support the producer. I recommend Kimura Takuya.

When Kitagawa threw SMAP to Fuji TV, he said that apart from not letting these guys do anything in front of the camera, the rest was at the discretion of the producers.At this time, Kimura Takuya was popular and cheap, and he could also sell Kitagawa to gain popularity, so there was no reason not to use him in acting.

On this side, Kimura Takuya has become famous as an actor. On the other side, Masahiro Nakai is good at dancing and has been working hard in the TV station. From the producer to the artist to the on-site staff, they are all polite and considerate, and everything is based on the combination. First, like the group’s leader and the group’s manager, the producer is willing to take a second look at SMAP for the sake of Masahiro Nakai.

With the efforts of these two older members, this group, which had a difficult time when they debuted, seems to have finally reached a turning point this year after going through a bumpy idol career in the past few years.

There is a strong wind rising around SMAP, so it is obvious that TOKIO needs to stand still.

For Johnny, if he doesn't officially release a record, it won't be his official debut.But you can still appear in TV shows without debuting.

TOKIO has accumulated popularity on NTV in another way. Fans have also speculated on the time of their debut. However, as SMAP's exploration has begun to bear fruit, TOKIO's debut is temporarily postponed until SMAP's popularity begins to explode. , and then launch the next group of popular idols, which is more in line with the interests.

Now that SMAP has explored the way forward, Kitagawa Kao will probably let this group walk the path of their predecessors before their official debut, accumulate more popularity, and make the debut effect more eye-catching.

Although TOKIO has to postpone their debut, their responsibilities have been made clear.That is to cross the river by touching SMAP and continue to accumulate until the time comes when you can soar into the sky.

Only by launching a group that the world considers to be an "instant hit" can Johnny regain a foothold in the idol ice age.

After SMAP played their role as a test product, TOKIO's mission changed accordingly.

Iwahashi Shinichi knew this well, so he only occasionally listened to information about TOKIO, and would not pay any attention to them unless Kitagawa Gao conveyed his thoughts.He was just waiting for the so-called opportunity to come, when the time came to take over the music production of this popular group, and count the money until it was too late.

I had a plan in my mind. This time I came to the meeting with the producers of NTV, and I just said some clichés. Everything was subject to the opinions of the TV station and Johnnys. I was only responsible for being a good program consultant.

Anyway, Keiko Fujishima is also in the same production team.

She participated in the entire production of TOKIO's NTV program, and this group is essentially branded as a Mary group.

The popularity of Heike Pai, which failed to debut, has been sluggish. They have not released a single for more than a year. They have essentially entered a state of abandonment, and the four members also have their own thoughts.Jiro Matsumoto wanted to become a singer, but his status as an idol of the Heike faction essentially ruined his dream.Another member, Toru Ishikawa, was tired of working in the entertainment industry and wanted to retire.

Once a temporary combination, the members lacked tacit understanding and had different goals, so it was inevitable to split.

Kitagawa Kuo acquiesced to the dissolution of the Heike faction and two members to withdraw from the club. The other two members, Nagano Hiroshi and Yamaguchi Tatsuya, were temporarily active as solo artists. Kitagawa Marie did not forget to issue a banning order - even though Matsumoto Jiro was a small role. .

Jason plays the good guy, while Marissa plays the role of a shrew who gives arbitrary orders to the outside world. The two siblings work together tacitly.

With the Heike faction facing such a failure, Fujishima Keiko has obviously restrained herself a lot on TOKIO's side.

The production meeting is over, and Iwahashi Shinichi has no intention of staying long.Before leaving, he had a routine chat with NTV producers.Fujishima Keiko stood a little further away, watching Iwahashi Shinichi idle, and stepped forward: "Iwahashi-san."

During these days of training on the TV station, Keiko Fujishima also looks like a professional woman, unlike before when she first met, all her emotions were exposed.

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled: "Julie-san, our red pine, thank you for taking care of us."

Akamatsu Haruko who was following him heard this and bowed slightly to Fujishima Keiko.

Listening to Iwahashi Shinichi talking about Akamatsu Haruko, Fujishima Keiko also smiled, but she felt disgusted in her heart and knew that she shouldn't stay here for a long time.

GENZO first sent Mijima Iijima, and then Akamatsu Haruko.Miji Iijima, a woman as inconspicuous as a stone on the roadside, made Fujishima Keiko unhappy. But facing a real daughter with outstanding abilities like Akamatsu Haruko, Fujishima Keiko felt even more unspeakably suppressed. It felt like she couldn't tell which of the two women made her feel more uncomfortable.

Fujishima Keiko was suppressed by Akamatsu Haruko, and went back to tell her mother that Iijima Mitsuchi and Akamatsu Haruko were two very different but equally unpleasant women. Together with Kitagawa Mari, they both had a strong crush on Iwahashi Shinichi and Iijima Mitsuchi. Because I can't stand it.But since Shinichi Iwahashi is a figure in the industry and a guest of Kitagawa Kaguya, he can only recommend him as deaf and mute.But what's even more subtle is that Mitsuo Iijima was seconded to Fuji TV shortly after leaving TOKIO.Not only that, he also recently participated in the production of SMAP's variety show, and it is said that he takes good care of SMAP.

It can be said that Shinichi Iwahashi was deliberately targeting it, but Kitagawa Kao personally asked him to produce TOKIO, and Akamatsu Haruko who was sent was his confidant. This matter is well known in the industry.Not only can we not say that he was deliberately targeting him, but we should also thank him for valuing his cooperation with Johnny.

As for Mitsuo Iijima, he was recommended by Masatoshi Sakai to Masaki Yoshida. After training at the record company, he returned to Masaki Yoshida, and he was impeccable.She had interacted with Johnny when she was following Shinichi Iwahashi, and she had taken care of the miserable little idol on the TV station. She should be praised for remembering the old relationship.

Iwahashi-san, who seems to be personable and will not be an enemy of anyone, is this intentional or accidental?
Fujishima Keiko couldn't guess what Iwahashi Shinichi was planning, let alone whether her prejudice against Iijima Sanchi would affect his uncle's judgment if it spread to his ears.

……

Akamatsu Haruko followed Iwahashi Shinichi from NTV and got into the car.Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her calm face and couldn't help but smile.

Compared with this eldest lady, the eldest lady just now has really limited strategies.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Fujishima Keiko had dealt with each other several times, and they knew better.

"TOKIO will not debut this year at least. ... Next, they may not be as comfortable as they are now, and they will have to experience the feeling of being tortured by variety shows." Shinichi Iwahashi said.

He said these words with a smile, which made Akamatsu Haruko find this situation a bit funny.She said "yes" and thought for a moment, "Will doing this affect their image in the minds of the audience?"

It took a lot of effort to leave the public with the impression of a "band that studies music seriously" through the accumulation of performances in the program.

Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "As long as the established image is solid enough, it won't be destroyed so easily. Next, it depends on whether they broaden their own path, or whether they have to get the same thing."

These are things that Johnny’s side needs to consider and TOKIO’s side needs to work hard for.

"Haruko, you are still suitable to participate in music production..." Iwahashi Shinichi thought carefully.

Akamatsu Haruko replied cleverly: "If it refers to TOKIO, I don't think I participated in the TV production."

Iwahashi Shinichi joked with her: "If it is written in the resume, then forget it."

Unlike Akamatsu Haruko, Iijima Mitochi is good at dealing with people and is at home in a place like a TV station.Not only that, she was able to wait for the opportunity and naturally participated in SMAP's program planning. When planning the program, she held the concept of "planning centered on the format of the group" and really achieved results.

During the time when SMAP was assigned to Fuji TV, the group did not even have a dedicated manager.Now that the group has seen improvement, whether they will move towards the top or just become a popular idol depends on how they arrange their work next.

Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself that by now, we have gradually reached that intersection.

……

On this day, Nagase Tomoya did not go to school.

Ayumi Hamasaki noticed that Nagase Tomoya's desk was empty, and the thought "Sure enough," came to his mind.In the morning, she brought up Tomoya Nagase's name as a topic without permission. This was the reason why she paid extra attention to Tomoya Nagase.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi said that he wanted to meet TOKIO's producer today, which was the reason why Hamasaki expressed such thoughts.

He was absent from school from time to time and would have been a delinquent in a regular school.But being in an art class in Tokyo is a sign of a bright future.

From this point of view, Hamasaki, who has gone to school on time every day since entering school and never missed a class, is not only a person who seems to have no future and only dreams of becoming a star, but also a good student.

Thinking that he was like a good student, Hamasaki felt a little boring, and there was a small fire in his heart that was about to start, thinking that he was not that kind of good boy.

When she was in Fukuoka, she was a delinquent girl. When she came to Tokyo, she also wanted to cause some trouble for others.

When the thought of causing trouble came to her mind, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
