Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 16 016. Idol Warring States
...the words are said to be so passionate.

The ideal is lofty, but resigning from Odyssey is a logical end, but there is no logical beginning ahead.

He looks like a toddler now, and it all starts with somersaults and careful balance.

In the next few days, Iwahashi Shinichi worked in a pizza shop to make ends meet. He began to visit record stores frequently to listen to them, and also went to rental stores to rent tapes. In addition, he also began to buy several mainstream music books on the market. Magazine.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.He wants to sell Yoshida Miwa's excellence, but before selling her, he must at least have an overall understanding of the current market trends.

Now in 1985, the record market is still an era where CDs, LPs (vinyl records) and cassettes are sold in parallel, and CDs, which have almost dominated the world in later generations, are still rubbed on the ground by LPs and cassettes.

The reason why there is such a situation is very simple. CD was born in 1982, and it is only the third year.

To be fully popularized, at least every household must have a CD player.In order to do this, technology continues to evolve.In addition, it is necessary to change the habit of using cassettes and LPs for the public.

As a traveler, there is always the advantage of a prophet, that is, he is more certain than anyone else that the future must be the era of CD.Although for now, knowing this doesn't seem to be of much use.

In order to have a full understanding of the market trend, I listened to the songs for several days, checked various information in the music magazines, and then, Iwahashi Shinichi sincerely said:
Akina Nakamori is really awesome (broken sound).

Previously, there was another top idol in the music world, Matsuda Seiko, who fought with her.

For these two people, Akina Nakamori took the mature and handsome route, while Seiko Matsuda took the pure and orthodox route. It was like replicating the battle between Baihui Yamaguchi and Junko Sakurada, and even the fans were divided. Two factions.

What's interesting is that the handsome and handsome Akina Nakamori is a good girl, while the pure and sweet Seiko Matsuda lives a dashing life. The personalities of both parties are completely opposite to the characters on the stage.

In the second year of Matsuda Seiko's debut, he fell in love with another top male idol at the time, Hiromi, almost to the point of talking about marriage, but because of differences in career, it finally fell through.

Seiko Matsuda cried heart-to-heart at the breakup press conference, saying, "I can't do it in this life. If I have a next life, I want to stay with Xiang Guangmei." This scene was photographed and printed in a magazine as a permanent memory——

Three months later, in June of this year, she and actor Kanda Masaki held a wedding of the century that cost [-] million yen and released [-] pigeons, and temporarily retired from the entertainment industry after the wedding.

This kind of unrestrained attitude towards life can be regarded as the first in the female idol world.

The biggest opponent withdrew, and in this way, the music world became a situation where Akina Nakamori's strength overwhelmed the audience.But this is not a dominance caused by the withdrawal of her opponent, but the re-expansion of her own strength.

In a word, no matter who you are at this stage, as long as your female solo debut, come to Nakamori Akina, you can only be hanged and beaten.

Or, there is no need for Akina Nakamori to personally beat you, Koizumi Kyoko, Kikuchi Momoko, Okada Yukiko and other female idols have already given a large group fight.

And the large-scale amateur female idol group Kitten Club that came out of Fuji TV's "Twilight Meow" program wore a bikini and used a song "セーラー Clothes を Take off が さ な い で" (don't take off other people's sailor clothes), make up the last knife .

... Having said that, even after 30 years, the scale of the Kitten Club is big enough.

Before, Tiangu Zhenli had talked to him about the show "Twilight Meow Meow", and now it seems that her words are indeed not wrong.Compared with the previous idols of the right way, the Kitten Club gives people a feeling of "Is this okay?"

In general, a female idol is now popular, and ballads dominate the world, leaving very limited soil for female singers, especially Yoshida Miwa's music style is far from popular ballads.

In this case, to sell her, you only need to have a head that is more iron than writing niche articles at the beginning.

Courageous words are good for a while, but not at all when they are put into action.

-

On Friday evening, when I got home, there was a message on the phone.Iwahashi Shinichi picked it up, it was from Tianya Zhenri, and asked him to go to the rehearsal of Mimi CLUB tomorrow.

At 03:30 the next afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi met Mari Amaya at a cafe near Shinjuku Station.

Iwahashi Shinichi hasn't seen Mimi CLUB since he danced for them last time. When we met today, Tiangu Jinli replaced her wavy curly hair like instant noodles and replaced it with shoulder-length straight hair. Fa, the image changed so fast, Iwahashi Shinichi almost didn't dare to recognize it.

"Iwahashi-san." It was Tiangu Zhenli who took the initiative to greet him.

Iwahashi Shinichi sat down opposite her, "Long time no see, Tiangu-san. . . . I have a new hairstyle."

"Yes." Tiangu Zhenli subconsciously touched the tip of his hair, "Is it still appropriate?"

"It's very good, it suits you very well." He told the truth, silently adding the second half of the sentence that he couldn't say: It's much better than the previous instant noodles.

"That's good, I was a little worried at first."

After the coffee ordered was delivered, Tiangu Jinli suddenly told him something: "There is good news and I want to let Iwahashi-san also listen to it."

"I am very interested in the good news."

Tiangu Jinli smiled lively, "The band signed a contract with a record company and is ready to debut in the mainstream."

"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi was also happy for her, but he was a little curious, "Which company did you sign with?"

"CBS Sony."

"It's amazing, big company." When it comes to record companies that are famous all over the world, this one will never be left behind.

"Minejima-san has been helping to send the band's audition tapes and video tapes," Amaya said, "A record company agreed to sign the band before, but felt that our structure was too bloated, and the condition for agreeing to sign was to cut Onoda-san and his body. We were the backup dancers, but we were both rejected by Ishii-san and Minejima-san."

This is the reflection of Feng Dao's understanding of the core charm of Mimi CLUB.Even if this kind of charm cannot be accepted by the world at this stage, Feng Dao insists on not throwing it away to cater to the mainstream until this persistence pays off.

From this point of view, Feng Dao is undoubtedly an excellent agent, and it is the luck of Mimi CLUB to meet him.In terms of promoting a musical style that has not yet been accepted by the mainstream, Iwahashi Shinichi and Minejima have the same feeling.

And Mine Island is also the one who taught him the concept of "selling excellence", and the only one who can give him advice.

Iwahashi Shinichi has only one relationship with Fengdao, so before he came to see Tiangu Zhenli, he had already made up his mind and hoped to contact Fengdao through Tiangu Zhenli.And now Tiangu Jinli told him the news, which strengthened his confidence in Fengdao.

Whether it works or not, try it first.
