Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 456 456. Competition red and white
"However, Watanabe-san and I get along very well." Akamatsu Haruko said to Iwahashi Shinichi, "Following Watanabe-san, I learned a lot of industry-related knowledge."

As for Akamatsu Haruko, Shinichi Iwahashi helped her to deal with the band members, which strengthened her determination to stay behind the scenes.However, even though she was influenced by Shinichi Iwahashi, more than half of what she has learned now is taught by Manyumi Watanabe.

When she joined the band Paradise, she was not so much a representative of GENZO as she was Wanyumi Watanabe's apprentice.It can be said that Akamatsu Haruko was cultivated by Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Wanyumi together.

Anyone can be the mascot. You can change from Iwahashi Shinichi to Akamatsu Haruko, or from Akamatsu Haruko to someone else.

Haruko Akamatsu has not yet graduated from university, and she is still working part-time at GENZO.She had already been assigned a new mission. Since her family in Kyoto was disgusted, it didn't matter if the mascot didn't let her continue to be a mascot.

"In short, ZARD will be handed over to you later." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "Coordinate the performance matters and assist them in the performance summary, okay?"

"Like the things you used to do when you were in the band?"

Shinichi Iwahashi replied: "Yes, it's the same as what I did when you were the lead singer. ... So, there is one more thing I would like to ask you to pay attention to. Puchi-san is the same 'newcomer' as you when you first appeared on stage. , please pay attention."

"Yes."

Akamatsu Haruko gladly accepted the task of taking over ZARD and following them to perform.

Akamatsu’s house in Kyoto was solved by Akamatsu Haruko herself, and a new task was also assigned. Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it, and suddenly asked something, “You go back this time, how is the atmosphere on the street in Kansai?”

"Huh?" Akamatsu Haruko responded.

"You've been here in Tokyo, and you've seen it. Because of the self-sufficiency, the streets are quite deserted. It's the same with TV shows. It just so happens that October is the month of program adjustments. Many entertainment and variety shows have been cut off. Unnamed Comedians might even lose their jobs." Iwahashi Shin told her about the situation in Tokyo.

After hearing this, Akamatsu Haruko understood, and answered him: "I went to Osaka, the streets are no different from before, the theater performances are still going on as usual, and the celebrations in the shopping streets have not been cancelled."

Akamatsu Haruko thought for a while, then said vaguely, "However, those people still appeared on the street."

The so-called "those people" refer to activists who advocate the abolition of the locust system.The locust is critically ill. Not only in Kansai, but also in Tokyo, there are such activists, and there are also students who follow and respond.

However, Yanqiao Shinichi suddenly asked her how the atmosphere in Kansai was, not because of any special intentions.Hearing that Haruko Akamatsu said that the atmosphere on the street was similar to usual, she felt relieved.

What he considered was another matter.

ZARD's debut time is about December or January, with the idea of ​​making the debut single sell for a whole year.

Yanqiao Shinichi knew that the locust would be next year, but he was not sure which month it would be.The reason why I know is because Japan changed its Yuan to Heisei in 1989.

Once there is a national funeral, entertainment will be restricted for 49 days on July 49th. Although it will not really stop for [-] days, it will definitely have a certain impact on publicity.

But hiding is not enough. Instead of waiting to avoid the national mourning that does not know when it will happen, it is better to ignore it and think about how to deal with it on a day when the national mourning cannot be publicized.

After Yanqiao Shinichi thought about it, he set his sights on Kansai.

Compared with Kanto, the atmosphere of not taking the locust seriously in Kansai is still stronger.People in Osaka, in particular, have a demeanor of going against Tokyo and going their own way.

Therefore, taking into account the possibility that the publicity period will hit the sky locust, Shinichi Iwahashi's response method is to reserve Kansai as a propaganda position.

After all, when it comes to "all the countryside outside Tokyo", only Kansai people roll their eyes the most.

"If you go to Kansai, father and mother welcome you as a guest." Akamatsu Haruko told him.

Upon hearing this, Yanqiao Shenyi had nothing else to say except: "If there is a chance, I will definitely go."

……

The locust is critically ill. Since the order of suppression was promulgated, no one has been more affected than the art world.

Even if the folk celebrations are suspended, everyone should do whatever they want.However, places like the entertainment world, even if it's just a show, are the ones that do the most.

As soon as the entertainment restriction order came, the programs were cut and the celebratory advertisements were temporarily withdrawn. At one time, people thought that even this year's Red and White Song Concert would be canceled, but NHK's director of broadcasting personally came forward to refute the rumors, saying that this year will be done correctly.

Since this year's Hongbai Song Festival will be held as expected, we must prepare for the selection of the list of appearances.

The Red and White Song Festival is not only the Japanese Spring Festival Gala, but also the most important and influential music show of the year.

Big-name singers have proved their status through their performance time, appearance sequence, and number of appearances in this large-scale music show. They have already gained solid popularity during the rising stage. Singers who hope to increase their popularity regard this as their dream stage.

However, the debut of the Red and White Song Festival depends on popularity, popularity, topicality, and the strength of the agency and record company. In general, it is like an arena for singers.

Enka is half of the Japanese music scene, and Kohaku Uta will set aside almost half of the performance time for enka and song songs, and pop singers will fight for the other half of the seats.

Although the idol era has lost momentum compared to the past, it is still a force that cannot be underestimated.Not only are there still popular veterans like Tao Pustar, but there are also many rookies who have performed well.

In addition to idols, there are also bands and singers, and it looks like a big battle.

It was such a big battle, Wanyumi Watanabe and CBS Sony were eager to try, and wanted to push DREAMS COME TRUE to the stage of the Red and White Song Festival.

The reason why I have this heart is naturally because NHK also takes the band into consideration.

Band Paradise is the most topical variety show this year. There are more than a dozen bands that debuted on the show a year. Some of them debuted as champions, and some produced singles after winning the first episode, selling more than [-] copies. Signed away.

These bands, without a doubt, represent a force from band heaven.

As a popular program throughout the year, the Hongbai Song Festival, which values ​​ratings like all programs, will not let go of this big topic, so it is considered to choose one of these bands as a representative to appear on the stage.

According to the sales volume, the bands that debuted this year are BEGIN and DREAMS COME TRUE.In terms of popularity and topicality, the one that is even better is DREAMS COME TRUE.

However, BEGIN also has the bonus of Okinawa style and the first championship of the band Heaven.And behind them, there is support from AMUSE and Tokuma Records.
