Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 468. Chapter 468

"But it won't work, Akimoto-san."

Yanqiao Shinichi interrupted the hint of Akimoto Yasushi's exposure after drinking.

Akimoto Yasushi saw his talent from the way Shinichi Iwahashi made Moritaka Chisato and WINK.

This kind of talent is different from the talent of writing lyrics and composing music like Goto Tsori, another partner in the Kitten Club, but a talent of judging the situation and coming up with the right plan at the right time.

This talent allows Shinichi Iwahashi to accurately find the weakness of the idol and smash it, and he can also lead the idol who can't find his way in the maze to a feasible path.

A producer who doesn't like idols very much may know better than anyone how to make idols popular.

Goto Tsori is still an artist in essence, lacking the means of a businessman.

But Yasushi Akimoto himself did not find the right balance and find the right path to continue before the Kitten Club got out of control.

Iwahashi Shinichi first smashed idols, and then succeeded in promoting idols. The two completely different approaches before and after have achieved success, which made Akimoto Yasushi have a kind of expectation for him.

Although the Kitten Club ended in a mess, it left something behind—for example, the fact that these girls were able to arouse such enthusiasm proves that this production model, which is different from traditional idols, can be promoted among the public.

Because this model is feasible, the kitten club is so popular.

Now, we have experience in making non-traditional idols, but we lack the ideas and methods on how to operate the idol scenes produced in this mode.

Akimoto Yasushi is looking forward to, if Iwahashi Shinichi is also brought in to regroup and explore a longer path, maybe he can achieve higher achievements...

He has a deep obsession with idols, and he is even more proud of the project of the Kitten Club, always wanting to complete the half-finished project of the Kitten Club.

That will probably become an unprecedented super idol...

But he was ambitious, and as a result, he was poured cold water by Yanqiao Shinichi as soon as he started.

Such a straightforward refusal made Akimoto Yasushi feel uneasy.But it is not incomprehensible. It seems presumptuous to mention this matter suddenly.Besides, Yanqiao Shinichi is different from him, the focus is obviously on the band.

Shin Iwahashi's love for the band is just like Yasushi Akimoto's love for his idols.

However, Akimoto Yasushi did not give up.

After a pause, he opened his mouth again: "It is true that the Kitten Club has just ended, and there will be another 'Kitten Club 2.0' in a while, and the public may feel that there is nothing new about it. However, although the Kitten Club has proved that amateurs The production model of idols is feasible, and it is not the same as the original model..."

He showed weakness in his words, but he still wanted to pull Yanqiao Shenyi to make a plan.

This fat young man, after watching his proud combination fall into ruins, still wanted to rebuild his strengths, so he used the materials cleaned from the ruins to build a new building.

"That being said, now is not the time."

Akimoto Yasushi was a little curious, and asked, "So, when do you think 'the time has come'?"

Yanqiao Shenyi asked Akimoto Yasushi, "How long is the 'one and a half moments' that Akimoto-san said?"

"This one……"

"Is it a year and a half, three years and five years, or ten years and eight years?"

It is obvious that idols are going downhill, but among idols, the Kitten Club is particularly special.

Although the orthodox idols have different styles, there is something in them that is in the same strain. This constant thing allows the orthodox idols to be replaced smoothly.

The audience will not hold the Baihui myth for life and dismiss the successors just because there was Baihui Yamaguchi.

Therefore, the decline of orthodox idols is firstly reflected in the lower peak, shorter peak period, and it is more difficult for new idols to come out on top. There is a process of decline.

However, Kitten Club, a combination of slanting swords, lacks something to inherit on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can't do anything well in singing and dancing. The impression given to the public is that they can see the bottom at a glance. So, when they first appeared, they set off a craze, and immediately collapsed as soon as the novelty wore off.

There was not even a process of the orthodox idols slowly falling, and they collapsed directly.

"I don't think Kitten Club 2.0 can be successful until at least the Kitten Club disappears from the audience's mind." Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while and added, "To be precise, before the daily life of female high school students undergoes major changes impossible."

Because, a large part of the kitten club's appeal to the public comes from their real status as female high school students.Now, the general public already knows the daily life of female high school students in this era, no matter how they change in the future, this attraction will not increase again.

After hearing this, Akimoto Yasushi showed a thoughtful expression.

"What if, drop the 'high school girl' label and replace it with a new one?" he asked.

Iwahashi Shinichi still shook his head, "No matter how the label changes, the fundamental thing remains the same." Moreover, the idol market is still in decline overall.

To put it bluntly, what fat young people are obsessed with is to promote an idol model with the lowest chance of turning over in a market that is constantly going downhill.He could explore, but Iwahashi Shinichi didn't want to get involved.

For this sake, Yasushi Akimoto knew that Shinichi Iwahashi would never be involved in this matter, so he could only smile and smooth things over, "In the end, Shinichi-kun is really not interested in this."

Yanqiao Shinichi smiled, "Maybe it's just that I believe too much in what I think of as 'timing'."

"However, your judgment is still very strong." The fat young man said.

"Whether the judgment is strong or not, it's hard to say. Maybe the timing I believe in is the wrong timing. But, I just believe in my own judgment."

Shinichi Iwahashi tried his best to end the topic peacefully, "So, when you think the timing is inappropriate, even if the group produced by Akimoto-san is ten times more popular than Kitten Club, you won't want to sign up to participate."

“However, it’s the same in reverse. If I think it’s the right time, even if the group produced by Akimoto-san is performing in the open air on the dirt floor behind the concert venue and can’t even release a single, I will help.”

Yasushi Akimoto laughed, "If you say that, then I should make a group that performs on the mud floor now."

He was obedient, even though he failed to win over Shinichi Iwahashi, he did not give up the idea of ​​continuing to make idols.However, since he didn't intend to get involved, Yanqiao Shinichi didn't ask any more questions.

The chubby young man suddenly dropped an intention to cooperate, but was rejected by Iwahashi Shinichi. Even so, the Tao will not affect the friendship between the two.

Drink the wine as you say, and keep the word, and the bill will be charged to Akimoto Yasushi.

For a fat young man who came out to fool around, he didn't even need to take out his wallet when he went to the shop he frequented.The proprietress will keep the account and send it to his personal office for settlement.

……

Now that he had greeted Kameyama Chihiro, Iwahashi Shinichi sent the band's audition tape to the TV station after he passed.Kameyama Chihiro had listened to the audition tape and thought it was quite satisfactory, so he called the record company.

Iwahashi Shinichi made an appointment with him to meet him, and took Komachi Sachiko to the TV station to meet him and chat face to face.

On such an occasion, Kamochi Sachiko went, but it was actually useless. Basically, Iwahashi Shinichi was chatting with Kameyama Chihiro, and especially brought her along. More importantly, it was to increase Kameyama Chihiro's impression of her. .

In the future, I may continue to fight for TV drama theme songs or episodes for the band at Kameyama Chihiro, instead of taking the initiative to find Kameyama Chihiro every time to say hello, and then send the audition tape to listen to.

It would be better to introduce Kawachi Sachiko and Kameyama Chihiro, so that the producer can have a more three-dimensional impression of Kamaike Sachiko. When the time comes, if there is a suitable opportunity, maybe he will think of such a person first.

We met, this time, with the intention of cooperation, we talked about TV dramas in a more specific way.

It is worth mentioning that Sachiko Kamanike herself is very concerned about the plot of the TV series and what she wants to convey through the plot, and asked several questions more actively than expected.

This kind of performance was a bit beyond Iwahashi Shinichi's expectation.

On the way back, Sachiko Puchi confided in her heart, "It's a little immature idea. I think, as the theme song of a TV series, even if there are one or two lines of lyrics in it that make the audience think it matches the plot of the TV series, at the end I heard When the theme song plays, it will feel even better, right?"

"There's nothing 'immature' about this idea."

After hearing this, Iwahashi Shinichi said, "On the contrary, it's a great idea."

From the perspective of the audience, after watching a whole episode of the TV series, the emotions are substituted into the plot. When following the protagonist, the theme song that fits the plot plays, and the effect at that moment is absolutely great.

With the affirmation of her thoughts, Puchi Xingzi let out a little sigh of relief, and at the same time, her self-confidence also rose a little bit.

Sachiko Puchi has seen it, listened to the audition tape, and the Yuejiu production team finally agreed to let ZARD sing the theme song of "Falling in Love with Your Eyes".

The 1988th month of this issue is scheduled to be broadcast on January [-]th of the next year, and the release date of the band's debut single is two weeks earlier than the broadcast time of the TV series, making their debut at the end of [-].

However, because the record year for record sales ends between late November and early December, it is actually a new year.

……

On the one hand, Shinichi Iwahashi went to negotiate with Fuji TV for the debut of ZARD, and on the other hand, Manyumi Watanabe went to discuss with the Red and White Song Club Production Committee for the new song that DREAMS COME TRUE decided to sing.

During this period, the second version of the arrangement was produced, and the whole song was 26 minutes and [-] seconds long. If it was in the past, a turntable would not be able to fit such a long song.

Even the radio stations are unwilling to play super long songs longer than 7 minutes.

Therefore, the result of the negotiation is also obvious, 5 minutes is already the limit that can be reserved for the band.So, the band has two options right now.

"The first is to reduce the duration of the song. The second is to sing another song."

Watanabe Wanyumi conveyed the result that she had predicted a long time ago to Iwahashi Shinichi again.

"Hmm." Shinichi Iwahashi's expression wasn't pretty.

Mayumi Watanabe saw his reaction, "Although it's a bit troublesome, the band still has to think of a way."

"before that……"

You have to tell the two teammates first, and you have to change it again.

……

Iwahashi Shinichi went to the recording studio, Miwa-chan and Nakamura were recording as usual today.

He, a giraffe man, couldn't spend all day working in the recording studio because of his multiple jobs.Therefore, part of the recording work related to him is to set a time in advance to record together, and the other part is to come and record alone when he has time.

Anyway, music production is all about putting together individual tracks.Recording together or separately will not affect the final result.

When others arrived, the recording was not over yet.

Yanqiao Shenyi was still thinking about how to tell the two teammates and how to make a choice. He had no intention of going to the prison, so he sat at the table, thinking, and waiting for the recording to end.

Two ways.

Either shorten the length of the song, or make a new song.

It is easy to say and easy to make a new song. Now the band has a considerable number of stock songs, and it is not a problem to choose another song from it.

But what's the next sentence in a bang?

"So happy!so happy!Really like! "was killed because of the suspicion of cursing the locust to death. Is "Future Vision II" going to be killed because the performance time is too long?
Consecutive denial of two songs that the band is full of confidence will definitely hurt the morale of the band.

Can't let this happen.

So, just remake a special version that can be performed in 5 minutes?

However, Mayumi Watanabe's reminder is still in her mind. She said that this song has another feature, that is, it is intertwined, and removing any of the lyrics will make it lose its color.

However, there is no solution?
……

"Shinichi-kun—"

A voice woke up Yanqiao Shinichi from his contemplation.When he came back to his senses, Meihejiang was sitting opposite him, holding his cheeks in both hands, with a serious look looking at him seriously.

"What's wrong?" With such a serious expression on her face, Yanqiao Shinichi was a little scared.

If the bear child is suddenly very obedient one day, the parents will first suspect that the bear child has caused trouble rather than being happy.Iwahashi Shinichi's mentality is similar to this.

Mihe-chan stared at his face and smiled brightly, "I'm imitating Shinichi-kun's expression just now."

"..." Yanqiao Shinichi was speechless.

With a sigh, "My expression shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"It's [-] times worse than this." Mihe-chan said with a bit of nonsense.

Going on like this, before he told Mihe-chan that he wanted to adapt the song again to make her furious, he himself would be furious by her first, and Yanqiao Shinichi simply refused to answer her words.

"Are you angry?" Meihechan looked at his expression carefully.

　Yasushi Akimoto tried to form idol groups many times during the years between the failure of Kitten Club and the establishment of AKB, but all of them failed.
