Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1528 1529. A good start

Before becoming a singer, first decide what name you want to debut under.

The two girls use the stage names "Xiao Hutao" and "Xiao Xiong Guang" respectively.

Ayumi Hamasaki's stage name when she was a model was "Little Walnut". The person who gave her this name was the president of a children's model agency. At that time, she was ignorant and only regarded modeling as a job to support her family. She didn't think there was anything wrong with this name.

But now, if I want to debut as a singer, I think this name sounds silly. This is exactly the manifestation of my inner concern.

The seed of becoming a singer sprouted without anyone noticing.

Ayumi Hamasaki didn't like the name "Little Walnut". Shinichi Iwahashi, who was usually the most reasonable, was uncompromising at this time and made the final decision: "In the group, you call her this."

Ayumi Hamasaki protested to him: "You are not my producer."

With just one sentence, she tried to drag Akina Nakamori into the battle.

The idea of ​​producing an album was decided in the home recording studio, but Shinichi Iwahashi asked not to talk about the album when they were at home.

The battlefield where the two people were arguing was the small conference room next to Shinichi Iwahashi's office.

The project of this album was formally proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi, who personally contacted Warner and "seconded" their singer Akina Nakamori to serve as music producer.

Except for the initial proposal which seemed to be made on a whim, the subsequent process was a formal record.

Ayumi Hamasaki was arguing with Shinichi Iwahashi with her neck stiff, which surprised the clerk assigned to this album. Unexpectedly, this girl who was so polite when entering and leaving the company actually had such an explosive side.

The old agent, Daben, felt a strange sense of intimacy from this girl.

Iwahashi Shinichi was amused by the girl's words and explained to her seriously: "I am not your music producer."

Akina Nakamori is their music producer this time, but everything other than music production is handled by the coordinating producer Shinichi Iwahashi.

The girl hadn't expected this and looked annoyed.

Akina Nakamori was suddenly involved in a dispute between the chief producer and the young singer, and she was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered the things that happened before her debut.

At that time, the agency wanted to give her a stage name, but she insisted on using the name "Akina Nakamori".

Ayumi Hamasaki's reluctance to use her stage name is actually a manifestation of her own opinion. With the high hopes that Shinichi Iwahashi has placed on her, this opinion should be what Shinichi Iwahashi hopes she can have. But isn't his current behavior suppressing her opinion?
The girl hit a snag with Iwahashi Shinichi and turned her eyes to Nakamori Akina, hoping to get her help. Nakamori Akina looked at her husband, seeing his unshakable appearance, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she understood his good intentions.

Ayumi Hamasaki, who rejected the "little walnut" at this moment, formed a subtle echo with Akina Nakamori of Girls' Generation. However, Ayumi Hamasaki now only subconsciously seeks help from another authority, assuming that Akina Nakamori will stand on her side.

This is the place where the girl has not yet grown up.

Shinichi Iwahashi exchanged glances with her, and the tacit understanding between the couple was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Ayumi Hamasaki is not a person who is not good at observing people's words and expressions. Rather, it can be said that all the troubles she has suffered since coming to Tokyo are the side effects of being too observant of people's words and expressions.

Seeing that Akina Nakamori did not express her opinion, she knew that things could not be changed, and the big devil Shinichi Iwahashi made the final decision.

The girl felt some emotions she had never experienced before, and finally widened her eyes, "Even so... there will always be a day when I can sing under the name 'Ayumi Hamasaki'!"

This time, Akina Nakamori was convinced that the girl had made her true declaration as a singer. It was not about who she was singing for, but what identity she was singing for. When she had this awareness, she naturally thought about how she would sing and how she would present herself to the audience.

Shinichi Iwahashi proposed to make this family album, as if to take this opportunity to tell Ayumi Hamasaki how to become a singer and what is the most important thing to become a singer.

Hearing the girl's declaration, Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and then turned serious: "Then you must remember these words, and remember the feeling at this moment."

He had never spoken to Ayumi Hamasaki so seriously.

The girl reacted for a moment, and then revealed her stubbornness of becoming stronger when faced with a stronger opponent.

……

In stark contrast to Ayumi Hamasaki's stage name, Utada Hikaru accepted the name "Xiao Xiong Guang" with great interest. This is a younger name that fits "Xiao Hu Nut", although there is a suspicion of Xiao Xiong and her food.

Utada Hikaru was quite nonchalant about this, "I have many songs I want to sing."

When it’s Utada Hikaru, there are songs that Utada Hikaru wants to sing. When it’s Kou Xiong, there are songs that Kou Xiong wants to sing.

Although this child is young, his core is so stable that even adults are impressed.

The singer had already had a quarrel with the coordinating producer before they even decided on what song to sing. However, Shinichi Iwahashi was happy to see this happen.

After the two girls left, Iwahashi Shinichi said to Akina Nakamori: "This is a good start."

"Because Ayu-chan took the idea of ​​becoming a singer seriously?" Akina Nakamori understood Shinichi Iwahashi's thoughts.

It is indeed a good idea to invite Akina Nakamori to be the producer.

For this album, Shinichi Iwahashi was not just guiding Ayumi Hamasaki. He reminded Akina Nakamori: "You are the real producer now."

This album was not only prepared for Ayumi Hamasaki, but also for Akina Nakamori. At this moment, she felt that she and her husband were one in the same. Not only were they in love in life, but they also understood each other in work.

"The child told me that I might not be able to be her producer." Shinichi Iwahashi did not take this as a joke from the child.

"You mean I can be that kid's producer?"

Akina Nakamori heard an unexpected answer. Although she participated in the production of this family album with great enthusiasm, she had never thought that she would be involved in the future career of this girl who was highly expected by Shinichi Iwahashi.

Shinichi Iwahashi said as a matter of course, "Can't you be her producer?"

"That's what I said." Akina Nakamori has never been a producer other than her own music.

However, she did not categorically deny that she could be Ayumi Hamasaki's producer.

Shinichi Iwahashi encouraged Akina Nakamori, "Watch her more and see how she changed from 'Kumarou' to 'Ayumi Hamasaki'. You will understand her better than anyone else."

This album will tell Ayumi Hamasaki what is the most important thing for a singer. At the same time, Shinichi Iwahashi also hopes that this album can also inspire Akina Nakamori to become a producer.

With the arrival of a new era, Akina Nakamori's keen intuition on the stage and this new-era hero who is highly expected may create a special spark.
