Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1529 1530. Unique
Ayumi Hamasaki's lyrics book is, to some extent, a bit like a girl's diary. But this girl, when writing, has consciously thought about some deep things and wrote some very interesting words.

When making this family album, Shinichi Iwahashi encouraged the two girls to participate in the creation.

Utada Hikaru readily agreed and wrote two songs herself. One girl participated with great interest, and the other girl was influenced by her and more or less unwilling to lag behind.

When Ayumi Hamasaki first met Shinichi Iwahashi in Fukuoka and told him that he didn't want to be a singer, she never thought that she would come to Tokyo to meet him one day. At that time, when she received the fruit of word magic from Shinichi Iwahashi with a lot of distress, she never thought that she would write lyrics one day.

Unconsciously, I embarked on a path that I had once anxiously rejected.

However, when you really take out the lyrics book, everything becomes natural.

For some reason, when Ayumi Hamasaki showed the lyrics she wrote to Shinichi Iwahashi, the first thing she thought of was the image of Sachiko Kamachi whom she saw in Shinichi Iwahashi's office.

When in Fukuoka, Ayumi Hamasaki and her mother Akiko sang ZARD songs in karaoke. After the song was over, her mother showed a touched expression, "What great lyrics."

Ayumi Hamasaki and Sachiko Kamachi only met once, but it was that person who wrote such lyrics.

Do the lyrics of ZARD reveal Kamachi-san's inner thoughts?

The girl had just stepped into the recording studio and had not had the chance to ask Kamachi Sachiko such a question.

People with delicate hearts have the talent for coining words and sentences, and the ability to capture every moment in life and capture the light of that moment.

Until she made her own declaration as a singer, Ayumi Hamasaki's various struggles were, to some extent, a reflection of her talent.

For Shinichi Iwahashi, a blank sheet of paper came to him. He was worried about wiping out her personality, but also worried that an overly strong personality would lead to collapse. Now that things have come to this, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ayumi Hamasaki gave the lyrics she wrote to him and Akina Nakamori.

Although this girl has not yet found a lyric writing teacher to teach her systematically, she has already learned the rules without a teacher. Her writing style is certainly artificial, but it is also natural. In addition, this girl's unyielding personality makes her words occasionally reveal a subtle fragility, just like she would shed sad tears in a moment of ecstasy.

Shinichi Iwahashi read the lyrics she wrote and appreciated this, and was very surprised.

This talent is what makes Ayumi Hamasaki unique.

……

During this period at the end of the year, Shinichi Iwahashi devoted himself to the logistical work for this family album. Producer Nakamori took over, and the two girls also participated in the song selection meeting on their days off, and they were all busy.

For the staff of GENZO, this album is of special significance in some way.

Before this, everyone in the company knew that Momoe Star was their boss’s wife, but after all, she was a distant person and there was not much sense of reality. Now, Akina Nakamori has become a producer at GENZO, and the boss and the boss’ wife come to work together every now and then, and the fact that “the boss’s wife is Momoe Star” finally has a strong sense of reality.

Although Akina Nakamori is getting older, she is still very mobile. Shinichi Iwahashi looks at his wife walking briskly and feels worried for her, revealing a bit of helplessness.

The news of her pregnancy had already reached the tabloids several months ago.

The couple was adamant about the issue of their children and would not allow the media to report on it. Therefore, GENZO and KEN-ON jointly sent a letter to the media, requesting that the relevant news not be reported, and that they would formally notify the media if they needed to disclose information on their behalf.

With this joint letter, the media remained quiet and the couple were able to have peace of mind.

The boss and his wife wanted to make a home record, and when the singers in the company came to record, Shinichi Iwahashi also temporarily recruited them to help with playing and arranging the music, focusing on the most convenient ones for their own people to use. This album, which was created from an idea, unknowingly had an extremely luxurious all-star production lineup.

Even Miwa-chan, who does not belong to GENZO, was brought by Shinichi Iwahashi to participate in the recording of DREAMS COME TRUE and had her demonstrate singing to the two girls.

"Sing".

At the beginning, Shinichi Iwahashi asked Haruko Akamatsu, who didn't know what singing was, to watch Mikado's performance.

After all these years, in his heart, Mika-chan is still the best singing female singer.

Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada are two girls, one has a chicken voice and the other is short of breath, both are quite distinctive. Hikaru Utada has not yet reached the voice change period, so it is not possible to make a conclusion about her singing, but shortness of breath is not necessarily a disadvantage, and the subtle way of pausing can sometimes increase the characteristics and charm.

As for Ayumi Hamasaki, it takes a lot of effort to ensure her style and adjust the way she speaks.

In the past two years, Tetsuya Komuro's style has swept Japan. The music he produces has not only influenced the creative ideas of musicians, but also affected the industry's aesthetic taste for female singers.

The pitch of Tetsuya Komuro's compositions is extremely high, and the pitch he sets requires singers to constantly stay within the boundaries of being out of tune, and to maintain the limit in every song. This approach actually does not consider the singers' voices, but treats them as consumables.

However, Tetsuya Komuro became popular, and this singing style stimulated the public and naturally influenced the industry. Since this year, other companies have also begun to pay attention to this kind of shrill high notes when selecting singers.

Under such circumstances, the record industry will become a more cruel place for female singers in the future.

……

Tomomi Kahara is going to make her debut during the Christmas season this year. Recently, she and Tetsuya Komuro, this golden couple, have been spending all day in the recording studio, going in and out together.

Everyone knows about the love affair between this talented man and beautiful woman.

Born into a wealthy family and spoiled, Tomomi Kahara came to Tokyo in search of an opportunity to become famous. She is empty-headed, loves vanity, and enjoys the feeling of being pampered by the hottest producer of the moment.

And when she showed this arrogance that was almost stupid, Tetsuya Komuro often accepted it and even appreciated it as a kind of brilliance.

Whether it was arrogance or stupidity, in fact, all of Kahara Tomomi's emotions were given by him.

Without Tetsuya Komuro's indulgence, there would be no such performance by Tomomi Kahara. Therefore, although it seems that Tetsuya Komuro is obedient to his new girlfriend, in fact, he is the one who holds the power from beginning to end.

When they arrived at the recording studio, the staff greeted them.

"Iwahashi-san is here today too?"

When Tetsuya Komuro heard that the couple were in the recording studio, he became interested and decided to visit them.

Tetsuya Komuro unexpectedly found it interesting to make a family album for the two girls living at home. Tomomi Kahara had no interest in this kind of game, but when she heard that Akina Nakamori was here, she immediately became excited.

"So, I can meet Akina-chan?!"

It's so natural for women of this age to admire Akina Nakamori.
