Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1527. Family Records
Now, all the people living in this house are musicians.

Shinichi Iwahashi announced this as if it were a joke, so casually that Ayumi Hamasaki felt a subtle sense of wonder.

Is it that simple?

One is a famous producer, and the other is Tao Pusda, who has the jewel at the pinnacle of the music industry in his palm.

Of course, these two people are musicians. Utada Hikaru, who has released home records and is very comfortable in the recording studio at a young age, can also be called a musician.

Now, Shinichi Iwahashi's announcement has also included Ayumi Hamasaki in this scope.

But Ayumi Hamasaki couldn't understand whether it was because Shinichi Iwahashi had high hopes for her, or because the music in Shinichi Iwahashi's heart was not something that made her determined to come to Tokyo to sing for him - something as tense as that.

That day, Ayumi Hamasaki was pushed by Shinichi Iwahashi's joking words and sang a song for her favorite girl Akina-san for the first time.

When she heard her own voice in the headphones, she deeply realized that no matter who she sang for, the first audience was herself, no matter if the person in front of her was Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori, or an audience she had never imagined.

Just like tossing a coin high up, no matter whether it lands heads or tails, singing is the act of tossing the coin itself.

After Shinichi Iwahashi told her about the magic of words, Ayumi Hamasaki took writing lyrics seriously for the first time. Everything that happened these days is gradually accumulating into words.

When she started writing lyrics and agreed with Shinichi Iwahashi's theory of word magic, she realized that music is about putting yourself first, while being an actor requires selflessness.

Ayumi Hamasaki recalled the declaration she made when she came to Tokyo and found Shinichi Iwahashi: "I am who I am."

After these days of entanglement and confusion, rebellion and confrontation, when the tide recedes, she is still herself.

Shinichi Iwahashi said that all the people living in his house are musicians, and the past is like being wiped out with this sentence. He didn't say this for this reason, but Ayumi Hamasaki felt the same way.

For the first time in the girl's life, she felt such wonderful tolerance.

……

The people living in this house now are all musicians.

Ayumi Hamasaki was overwhelmed by this remark, while Akina Nakamori and Hikaru Utada's reactions were much simpler. However, Shinichi Iwahashi's personality was such that even if it was just a joke at the time, he would suddenly come up with something to do about it afterwards.

Besides, asking Ayumi Hamasaki to sing for Akina Nakamori was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

This girl once told Shinichi Iwahashi that he might not be able to be her producer. Shinichi Iwahashi listened to her words and did not regard them as rebellious words from the girl.

Once there is a chance, there will be a second time. After singing in the home recording studio for the first time, Shinichi Iwahashi would occasionally encourage the three women in the family to sing together.

Akina Nakamori is having a lot of free time right now and is happy to be playing in the recording studio with her two children.

After dinner that day, Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly asked, "Ayu, do you want to record a record?"

"what?"

His tone sounded like a joke to Ayumi Hamasaki, "After all, the people living in my house are all musicians."

The girl looked as if she had been teased, but she was not angry.

Iwahashi then discussed with Utada Hikaru, "It's been a long time since Hikaru last recorded an album. Let's record a family album." Utada Hikaru thought about it seriously and asked, "What kind of album do you want to record?"

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Akina Nakamori.

From the moment he started the topic, Akina Nakamori listened with great interest. Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "What kind of record do you want to record?"

"Me?" Akina Nakamori was stunned by his question.

Iwahashi Shin nodded: "Now that we have a singer, we need a producer as well."

"Is there anyone more suitable to be a producer than Shinichi?"

"Maybe." Iwahashi Shinichi said seriously, "I can't be this producer."

When Ayumi Hamasaki heard this, her ears turned red, and she remembered the bold words she had said to him. But even so, although she was embarrassed about what she had said, she did not regret it.

Akina Nakamori was amused by his remarks. She began to find it very interesting, "Shall we make a record?" When she asked this question, her eyes fell on Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada, as if asking for the consent of the two girls.

First, I sing for Akina-san, and then I let Akina-san be my producer.

Ayumi Hamasaki felt as if she was being lured here. She couldn't control her growing curiosity, wondering how Iwahashi-san would view her statement, and how Akina-san would view her as a singer.

Utada Hikaru suddenly asked, "Are the singers me and Ayu-chan?"

The Iwahashi family's plan to record a home album started with a joke and was finalized with Utada Hikaru's question.

……

At the end of October, Tetsuya Komuro finally returned from New York. This time he returned to Tokyo for the debut of Tomomi Kahara. At the end of this year, the highlight of GENZO was Tomomi Kahara's official debut.

The debut budget prepared for this Cinderella alone is over 100 million yen, and a release plan for five singles and two albums was prepared from the beginning. Tetsuya Komuro will follow her around and personally accompany her on TV shows, completing a gorgeous debut across the year.

The intention of this move is to push this Cinderella to the throne of superstar in one fell swoop.

The more gorgeous something is, the more obvious the signs of wear and tear are. However, the more easily something is worn, the more dazzling its light will be when it appears, and its beauty will be unparalleled.

When Tetsuya Komuro introduced Tomomi Kahara to Shinichi Iwahashi, Shinichi Iwahashi looked at this young, superficial woman and had such an association.

A newcomer with such a temperament must not be stymied, and the most suitable thing for her is to debut in such a sensational way. Therefore, without Tetsuya Komuro saying anything more, Shinichi Iwahashi has already confirmed the momentum of her debut.

On this point, he agreed with Tetsuya Komuro, and after making the same considerations, he adhered to his usual attitude and supported Tetsuya Komuro.

While GENZO was cooperating with Tetsuya Komuro to devote all their efforts to the debut of Tomomi Kahara, Shinichi Iwahashi himself suddenly had the idea of ​​producing a record for the two girl groups living in his house, and he started planning seriously.

He is the overall producer, and the music producer is Akina Nakamori. This is the first time she is responsible for music other than her own album. Together with the two girls living in the house, it is a true family record.

Tomomi Kahara was preparing for her debut with great fanfare, and Tetsuya Komuro stole the show on stage. Shinichi Iwahashi was playing the tender game of home records with his wife and two children who lived at home.

From the perspective of others, it is very unprofessional.

As the Christmas season, which is a must-win for all record companies, approaches, a singer who has been planning for a long time is preparing to fire the most crucial shot.
