Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 295
On CBS Sony's side, the manager who has been in charge of Nan Saori's work management after her retirement contacted her to inform her about the cover song.

Nan Saori, who has been retired for many years and is already the mother of three children, may not have forgotten about the idol era like Momoe Yamaguchi, but it doesn't matter that there is a little idol who wants to sing her masterpiece. , On the phone, she asked her agent to convey her encouragement on her behalf, and the matter is over with her.

As for who wants to see what kind of little idol dares to cover her famous songs, and how her own famous songs will be re-arranged, these things don't exist.

For Nan Saori, or most of the idols in this era of idols, being an idol is a job, no different from being a pink-collar worker in a company.

Once she quit her job and went home to get married, she had nothing to do with her previous work.

Everything is easy to talk about on the idol side, and the lyricist of this song is Keiko Masan, and Warner Pioneer called to communicate and got her consent.

Generally speaking, arrangement is a one-time buyout, because arrangement is a special thing, not an independent work.However, if it is a well-known arranger, it is another matter, and it will receive the subsequent distribution of royalties.

The one who arranged the music for "17 Years Old" is none other than Tsutsumi Kyohei, the composer of this song.

Tsutsumi Kyohei and Arima Sankeiko are the regular members of Nansaori's idol career, and her hit songs are all provided by this pair of partners.

Who is Tsutsumi Kyohei?It can be said that he is the best-selling composer in Japan, and the sales volume of the songs composed by him can circle the earth countless times.

He debuted in the 60s, became famous for composing music for the bands when group sounds were popular, wrote one after another famous ballad songs, and then produced many best-selling songs for idols, and won the Composition Award of the Record Awards five times, which is the Grand Award Most ever.

No matter what type of song you listen to, you can see Tsutsumi Kyohei's name in the composer column.This person has so many best-selling songs that one can't help but wonder, could it be that he came here through time travel with a bookcase of records?
Yanqiao Shinichi, who came to this era more than 30 years later, guessed him according to the routine of time travel novels, while people in this era are much simpler and rougher.

Because Tsutsumi Jinghei doesn't like to appear in public, and there are very few related news or photos, so the public speculates that "Ttsumi Jinghei" is a vest, and there is no such real person at all.

Of course, everyone in the industry knows that this is impossible.

Because, after contacting Tsutsumi Jinghei through Warner Pioneer, this afternoon, Iwahashi Shinichi personally visited Tsutsumi Jinghei.

This practice of visiting the door in person is out of respect for this great composer.Of course, taking this opportunity to see Tsutsumi Kyohei is also a rare thing.

This kind of great composers, people from small production companies, you can't even imagine seeing them.

……

In the Japanese-style room of Tsutsumi Kyohei's house, Iwahashi Shinichi saw the true face of this great composer.

The great composer who has been active for more than 20 years sounds like an old man at first glance, but in fact, Tsutsumi Kyohei is not yet 50 years old, so he doesn't look like an Artiste, but a bit like the minister of a big company.

Graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University where the style of study is open and the children of returned people get together, he has once again personally proved the truth that "music is made by the rich".

More than half of these masters who have promoted the development of Japanese pop music have good backgrounds.

Tsutsumi Kyohei already knew the reason for his visit on the phone. Even so, Iwahashi Shinichi said it again in front of him, because the arranger of "17 Years Old" was also Tsutsumi Kyohei, so it was even more necessary to explain to him that he would A big change to the arrangement of the song.

Tsutsumi Kyohei has written many songs so far, and he has grabbed a handful of best-selling songs. Over the years, there are many singers and idols who have sung his songs. Originally, a phone call would be enough. The reason why Iwahashi Shinichi agreed to come to the door in person, Somehow in my heart I want to meet this young man who has been in the limelight recently.

"I was a little surprised to hear that it was an idol made by Iwahashi-san." Tsutsumi Kyohei said after listening to his explanation.

Yanqiao Shen glanced at him, but did not answer, waiting for Tsutsumi Kyohei's next words.

"Before this, I heard your name by chance, but it was a program related to the band that was put together."

"Actually, before this, I also worked as an idol's manager."

Yanqiao Shinichi said this to show that he has never been in contact with idols, but after saying this, thinking of what he has done to idols, he feels a little guilty.

Matsumoto Akiko, a little idol who was turned over by a transformed artist Xianyu, this incident obviously did not reach the ears of Tsutsumi Kyohei, who has always been in the music industry. Hearing what he said, Tsutsumi Kyohei let out an "oh", but did not pursue further.

Obviously, if you have been a manager for a well-known idol, then you will definitely bring the idol's name when you say it. Tsutsumi Kyohei has no intention of inquiring about Shinichi Iwahashi's career as a manager.

Coming from the era of group sounds, Tsutsumi Kyohei has provided songs no matter what genre of music, genre bias can be seen in anyone, but it will never appear in him.

And he, who always pays attention to the fashion trends in the music world, felt the dawn of the band as early as when BOWWY became popular. Similarly, he, who single-handedly promoted the birth and rise of idols, is also keenly aware of the decline of idols.

Momoko Kikuchi, who was once popular for a while, stopped cooperating with composer Lin Zhesi, and started a new band this year.

As an idol, she has indeed become popular, although she has not become that kind of phenomenon.Now I go to form a band, I don't know what kind of performance it will be.

However, compared to whether her band can become popular, when a popular idol becomes a band, in a sense, Tsutsumi Kyohei feels that this is the defeat of the idol era.

But the band is certainly on the rise, but from the beginning to being able to ignite the fire, something needs to be catalyzed.

Tsutsumi Kyohei guessed who would light the fire, whether it was on a TV station, in the private sector, or in a record company?What role will the young producer in front of him who came to his house to promote the popular female idol play?
"If you want to talk about it, there are times when idols and bands are perfectly integrated." Tsutsumi Kyohei said casually, "The Tigers' Sawada Kenji-kun is very beautiful, and it is not impossible to say that he is an idol in the band." .”

"That's true." Yanqiao Shinichi replied, "Even the Beatles were once considered idols."

"So," he said, "I actually think it's a very lucky thing to be able to make idols and bands at the same time."

Idols can form bands, and bands can also become idols.
