Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 272
After the tape stopped, the production team read the name of the band, "It's called 'かりゆし' (Kariyushi)? What does it mean?"

"It's in the Okinawan dialect." The person who explained it was a staff member named Uedo in the production team. "It probably means 'auspicious' and 'lucky'....I was born in Kagoshima, which is closer to Okinawa."

"I see."

"However, this is also an Okinawa-style band."

"Probably because BEGIN gained a lot of popularity in the show, it also attracted bands with similar styles to participate. For example, the time of Da Kasao, the show worked well, and there were also bands who came to imitate afterward."

"It's not the same feeling as BEGIN. This band should be more refreshing, but its strength is also remarkable." People in the production team discussed, "How should we deal with it?"

Yanqiao Shinichi did not speak, but silently listened to the words of the production team, as if waiting for something.

Wanyumi Watanabe was listening, and suddenly remembered that before the new year, she told Shinichi Iwahashi that AMUSE fell in love with BEGIN. At that time, the two of them really planned to borrow the wind from BEGIN... …

With a thought in her mind, she said, "I think it's okay to have an Okinawa-style duel."

The production team set their sights on her.Yanqiao Shinichi also looked at her, with admiration for her in his eyes.The two exchanged glances calmly.

Well done!

In Yanqiao Shinichi's eyes, such a message was conveyed.

The two were really thinking the same thing... Wanyumi Watanabe thought about it, and then said, "Although there is a perfect Okinawan band here, it doesn't mean that there can't be another Okinawan band."

"In other words, if there is another Okinawan band, the puzzle will be complete." Wanyumi Watanabe said, "This is a game with the main features. The enemies of BEGIN should not only have other styles, but also have another band with the same style. Opponents of different styles may not necessarily be interesting."

The people in the production team listened to her analysis and exchanged opinions, "It makes sense."

Therefore, this band, also from Okinawa, who may have signed up because of the influence of BEGIN, was designated as a candidate for the next challenge to BEGIN.

However, in the minds of the production team, Kariyushi is definitely not as good as BEGIN.

This point, Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Wanyumi are also very clear.However, let the Okinawa style challenge the Okinawa style, might as well use BEGIN to enhance Kariyushi's popularity.

Yokichi Osato of AMUSE is going to decide BEGIN, BEGIN has a high degree of support now, and will definitely be pushed by then.At that time, although there is no chance to sign BEGIN, it would be a good route to use the popularity of BEGIN to promote another band with a similar style.

Although there are suspicions of rubbing the heat by doing so, there are idols who debut under the banner of "Sister Kikuchi Momo" and "Sister Hiromi" when they debuted. So-and-so" artists, this method is used by the entertainment industry, and will continue to be used like this.

……

After the review meeting that night, it was almost twelve o'clock at night, but the next morning, another meeting followed. This time, among the people present, there were several TV stations absent, and CBS Sony was added. Kazuo Hirai representative.

"Now report on the sales of the Human Chair single."

Kazuo Hirai reported in a regular manner, "It has been on the shelves for [-] days, and the current situation is that about [-] copies have been sold. As far as the feedback from the record store we are currently cooperating with is not bad, in this Within a month, reaching the sales target of [-] copies should be a certainty."

This kind of single has no publicity channels, and it is only sold in a few designated record stores. It has been on the shelves for [-] days, which is enough to show the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Right now, several record companies have expressed their willingness to discuss with Human Chair." The speaker was TV Asahi's staff responsible for contacting record companies, Murashita, "Of course, it still depends on the final sales."

The rules you set yourself must be obeyed.

After the meeting ended, Kazuo Hirai waited for Shinichi Iwahashi in the corridor, and said to him, "Congratulations, Iwahashi-san."

Congratulations, congratulations, and that devilish smile.

"Thanks to your company." Yanqiao Shinichi replied politely, with a smile on his face - I don't know if it was out of politeness, or because he was amused by his uncle's devilish smile.

However, this congratulations are not just casually.

When 60 singles are shipped, GENZO can first receive a production fee. Although the price of the single is not high, only [-] yen, and the shipment has just reached [-] copies, the sales will be divided here and there, and finally can reach GENZO. Here, it is about [-] million yen.

Although it is a small amount, there is no doubt that it is GENZO's first pot of gold in this program.

However, when Kazuo Hirai said congratulations, he was definitely not congratulating his production company for opening a business of 50 yen (including tax), but congratulating him on the smooth progress of his project.

As long as it goes well, half of his goal is achieved.

"Speaking of which, the production of this single is very mature." Kazuo Hirai began again, "Although it is a bit impolite to say so, but for the new production company, it is very good."

"Really? Thanks."

In this matter, Yanqiao Shinichi did not intend to be modest at all, or rather, it would be inappropriate to be modest. He said: "About this point, I still have a little confidence. Otherwise, I would not dare to take this job. So as not to delay the band."

"Very well said."

Hearing what he said, Kazuo Hirai responded to him with a devilish smile again.When parting, as if to encourage him, he said: "Next, I am looking forward to the performance of Iwahashi-san's GENZO."

Yanqiao Shen agreed with a smile.

After sending Kazuo Hirai away, Mayumi Watanabe asked him, "I'm going to the recording studio later, right?"

"Yeah." Yanqiao Shen nodded, "I have an appointment with Mihe-chan.... She missed it before."

After the last empty incident, Meihechan called him and said plausibly: "It's a pity that I brought a gift for Shinichi-kun, but you ran away first."

Then, the two made another appointment to meet today.

"To ask for a New Year's gift in return?" Wanyumi Watanabe thought it was funny when she thought of the way these two people got along.

"Return to... the New Year's gift." Yanqiao Shinichi also smiled, "It seems that this 'New Year's gift incident' is about to be known to everyone." On the other hand, he said, "Although I still don't know, what is she doing? What gift have you prepared for me?"

"Just like Yoshida-san couldn't think of what gift you would prepare for her in return?"

"The words are so beautiful, I have to write them down....As expected of you." Yanqiao Shenyi was overjoyed.
