Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 565
The two programs of Kansai TV are recorded and broadcast. On the day of arriving in Osaka, one recording will start at [-] o'clock in the morning, and the other will start recording at [-] o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

For ordinary music programs, the official recording time is not an exaggeration, but counting the rehearsal before the performance, it takes about four or five hours at a time.

Some traditional musicians are reluctant to appear on TV. One of the main reasons is that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to record the programs.

The day I arrived in Osaka was Thursday, and the radio program I had negotiated with Kansai Broadcasting Corporation was scheduled to be broadcast on Friday night.

This broadcast is quite special, it is a live broadcast, not only that, but also during the broadcast, the audience will interact with the band through the phone.

Since the debut of DREAMS COME TRUE, they have not done a radio program in Osaka.It just so happens that the band has become a popular star because of the big sales of their new album, and when Kansai Broadcasting got the opportunity, it spared no effort to promote it.

Two weeks in advance, Kansai Broadcasting conducted a week-long call for submissions from the audience. Once selected, what they wanted to say to the band and questions they wanted to ask could be read during the live broadcast.

One week to collect submissions, and the other free week is naturally to screen submissions.

Before coming to Osaka, the office communicated with Kansai Broadcasting. According to the data given there, within a week, the program team received more than [-] submissions, and more inquiries were made. As a radio program, this number is quite impressive .

The popularity of the band in Kansai can be seen from here.The broadcast has not yet started, but the topic has arrived first.

As for the band, knowing that they are very popular in Kansai, they are also particularly motivated to come to Osaka to do a show, especially Miwa-chan, who is very excited about the trip to Osaka before they leave.

……

The recording program started at ten o'clock, and lunch was naturally provided by the TV station.

On the first day in Osaka, lunch was a bento from Kansai TV.In contrast to the luxurious bento that I had just eaten yesterday at the world-renowned recording studio, the bento from Kansai TV can only be said to be "not bad".

There is no harm without comparison.

Music shows, the band has participated in quite a few since their debut, and they are very familiar with it, and everything went smoothly during rehearsals.At two o'clock in the afternoon, the recording of the day came to an end.

After the show was recorded, the band went straight back to the hotel—and had to meet with the people from Kansai Broadcasting.

The day before coming to Osaka, the office communicated with Kansai Broadcasting, confirmed the itinerary in advance, made an appointment, waited for the band to finish recording the program in the afternoon, and after returning to the hotel, the two parties communicated and confirmed the subsequent broadcasting process.

Among the people who came to discuss, in addition to the staff of Kansai Broadcasting, there is also the host who will work together tomorrow night, the popular host of Kansai Broadcasting, a young woman named Momoi.

For the live broadcast at [-] o'clock on Friday night, the band's schedule is relatively tight and there is not much time, so we can only make more use of it.

The focus of the music program is on the ability to perform live, which is not a problem for the band.On the contrary, the radio program tests the ability to talk and adapt. In this regard, the band's experience is still inexperienced, and it is a live broadcast, which is quite challenging.

However, the advantage is that the band participates as a guest, and the host of the radio is also responsible for stringing up the entire program.

What's more, there are scripts.

Live programs are most afraid of accidents, but for radio programs, if the silence exceeds five seconds, it is a broadcast accident. Therefore, various preparations in advance are essential.

The script of a radio program is not like a variety show, which specific when to say which line, but first gives a rough program flow and lists the topics to be discussed in detail.

In addition, there are a large number of submissions received. After screening, the production team selected the ones that were more suitable for discussion and listed them in the script.

When negotiating and confirming face-to-face, the three members of the band, plus the manager who is in charge of the review, have another important task, which is to subdivide the listed problems.

Cross out the ones you don't want to talk about, mark the ones you especially want to talk about, and you can do whatever you want for the rest.

A discussion meeting ended, and it was not too early. On the band side, the accompanying staff invited people from Kansai Broadcasting to have dinner together.Of course, the bill is all included in U-MIZ's hospitality expenses.

At dinner time, the three of them joined the band.After the dinner was over, the staff of the office would accompany the staff of Kansai Broadcasting to the nightclub to renew the booth, and the host Momoi tactfully bid farewell.

By the way, tomorrow night, the staff of Kansai TV is also scheduled to be entertained. Of course, the staff will also accompany them.

In such a bubble era, no matter what kind of company it is, the annual entertainment expenses are rolling upwards.Regardless of whether you are willing to be a boss or not, when the whole social atmosphere is like this, if you don't follow suit, it will become "slow treatment".

But in the entertainment world, this kind of atmosphere is even worse.

After the office staff and Kansai Broadcasting staff boarded the taxi, the three of the band got in the car, but they didn't go directly back to the hotel...

Yanqiao Shinichi reported an address.

……

The band came to Osaka for TV and radio work.Outside of work, for Iwahashi Shinichi, his trip to Osaka this time has a much more arduous task.

Previously, he decided to open a live house in Tokyo and Osaka. Brother Nakamura and Miwa-chan agreed to take a stake, and Asako also agreed to help. After the matter was confirmed, he started to act.

The Tokyo side is basically handed over to Mineshima. He also has a lot of experience and connections in the underground music circle. You can rest assured that you can trust him. Since the beginning of the matter, the progress has been quite smooth.

As for Osaka, although it is not necessary to let go of the shopkeeper, it is not necessary to do it yourself.As soon as Yanqiao Shen was far away, he entrusted this matter together, listened to reports regularly, and took time to take a look in between.

Usually far away in Tokyo, now coming to Osaka, of course, is to inspect the progress here.

As for Mihe-chan and Nakamura-san, they are both LIVEHOUSE partners. To check the progress, they cannot be pulled down.Before coming to Osaka, when deciding the itinerary, Iwahashi Shinichi asked them both.

The answer, of course, is "it depends".

On the Osaka side, the site selection for the LIVE HOUSE was entrusted to Kanzaki Real Estate.

Kanzaki Fudosan, which has opened a bunch of branches in Tokyo, also has a branch here in Osaka, as well as colleagues who have good relations with them and cooperate with them.Shinichi Iwahashi contacted Imai of Kanzaki Real Estate and asked him to help find a suitable house in Osaka.

The person in charge of the progress of the LIVEHOUSE in Osaka was recruited by Mineshima in Tokyo and dispatched to Osaka.

Ever since I bought that ping of land, in the past few years, Iwahashi Shinichi has been used to looking for Imai for any related matters.Firstly, I am familiar with Imai, and secondly, Imai's work ability is also good, every time I find him, the result is quite satisfactory.

Having dealt with him more often, Imai also knows Iwahashi Shinichi quite well.Knowing that he is a producer, the owner of a record company... not only that, but also the boss of Sachiko Kamaike.

When Shinichi Iwahashi contacted Imai this time, Imai couldn't wait to ask about Sachiko Kamagike as soon as the business was finished.

"Sang, the lead singer of ZARD, is Puchi-san who worked in our real estate company, right?"

Yanqiao Shinichi asked back on the phone, "Do you also know?"

"The company has spread all over the company now." Imai said a little excitedly, "There is an employee in our store surnamed Aoyama who used to have a good relationship with Kuchi-san. When the band debuted, Puchi-san even gave her a record."

"As the lead singer of the band, the debut single is also the theme song of the Yuejiu TV series... The female staff in our store have a lot of discussions about that TV series."

The more Imai talked, the more he found it incredible, "I didn't expect Puchi-san to become the lead singer of the band, and it was signed by your company... What a coincidence."

Imai who said "it's a coincidence", has long forgotten the last time Iwahashi Shinichi called and asked Komachi Sachiko.

Not only that, but I also don't remember the fact that I once ridiculed Kawachi Sachiko for refusing to accept the invitation of a male colleague but became a photo model.

Moreover, as if to show consideration for Shinichi Iwahashi, who is the boss, Imai didn't even mention that Sachiko Kamanike had been a photo model, and only felt deeply moved by the fact that his former colleague became the lead singer of the band.

However, the former colleague became the lead singer of the band, and the new boss has dealt with him several times.Imai felt incredible, and because of this coincidence, he was particularly concerned about Iwahashi Shinichi looking for him——

Now on site inspection, Iwahashi Shin is quite satisfied with the place that Imai helped to find.After Meihejiang came in, she was even more excited, looking around, although there was nothing inside, it was just the stage that had just been set up.

But as soon as the stage is set, this place that may have been a warehouse, which may have been used for any purpose, is given a whole new meaning.

Iwahashi Shinichi accompanied Mihe-chan to the stage, looked around, and pondered, "After the venue is selected, I will go to purchase equipment... All kinds of things are just beginning now."

While preparing the venue, a special person must be called to be responsible for the operation here.

On the Kansai side, Shinichi Iwahashi was quite unfamiliar with him, and he was a bit hesitant in doing things.However, recruiting people from Tokyo and then dispatching them to Osaka to take charge of management is undoubtedly a bad idea.

After all, not only the performance venue is in Osaka, but also the audience and the singers who will come to the performance are all from Kansai.If you want to communicate with Kansai people, you cannot do without Kansai people.

After thinking about it, Yanqiao Shinichi took a two-pronged approach.On the one hand, through Mine Island, recruiting staff on the Osaka side, and on the other side through the old acquaintance Akihito Takenouchi——

Although Akihito Takenouchi's hometown is in Kyoto, he studied in Osaka.When he was in his hometown, he wasn't the kind who would sit obediently in school and study. He made a lot of friends, so it was just right to find him.

Both sides work hard together, and then conduct an interview to decide on the team that will operate here.

……

The recording of the program on the second day started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the band had some free time in the morning.

The night before, I went to see the venue of LIVEHOUSE. Mihe-chan, who never thought that one day I would become a partner of LIVEHOUSE, was a little excited after the inspection and chose a seat, but I fell asleep very late.

When I woke up, it was almost ten o'clock.

If you come to Osaka, if you just sleep in the hotel and wait for the manager to come and call her before the show is recorded, it will be boring.

While washing up, Mihe-chan thought to herself, call Shinichi-kun and Masato-san, and go out for a walk together... At most, she will treat guests to lunch at noon.

She made a good calculation in her heart, but when she went downstairs, the staff told her that Shinichi Yanqiao had already left.

"Operation Detachment".

Meihejiang was a little disappointed.If it wasn't for Shinichi Iwahashi, she wouldn't want to go shopping with Masato Nakamura either - Masato Nakamura also thought so [-]%.

The amazing thing about their band's interpersonal relationship is that Yoshida Miwa and Nakamura Masato can never act alone.

Meihejiang went out to play by herself, and her manager told her to come back before one o'clock at noon, and reminded her to put on a little disguise.

She didn't take it to heart, and as a result, walking in the shopping street, she was recognized by people in Osaka one after another.

Today is Friday, there are not many customers in the shopping street, and most of the shopkeepers who greet her are shopkeepers in the shopping street.After recognizing her, instead of asking her for an autograph...but to sell her the things in his store.

In fact, her popularity is not so great that anyone can recognize her. However, in the crowded and messy shopping street, after being recognized by one of the shopkeepers, the next shopkeeper followed suit as if booing.

Meihejiang has a cheerful personality, is recognized, and happily interacts with the shopkeepers. After being sold something, she will really look at it carefully, buy what she likes, and complain to the shopkeeper directly if she doesn’t like it.

This way of coping is very suitable for the appetite of shopkeepers in the shopping street.The few shopkeepers who were still watching the excitement were first moved by Meihejiang's character and wanted to become her supporters.

However, although she had a good time, when Mihe-chan was talking to the shopkeepers, she couldn't help thinking that Shinichi-kun would never encounter such a thing.

I don't know where he went early in the morning.

While thinking this way, Miwa-chan completely forgot that she overslept.

……

I made an appointment with the person I was going to meet at eleven o'clock in the noon, which was still early.

Waiting was boring, so Iwahashi Shinichi walked into the department store near the cafe and wandered around to pass the time.

Once the headgear is taken off, no one loves it.

Without the body of the giraffe, Shinichi Iwahashi can freely go in and out of any place he wants.Obviously the band he belongs to is very popular, but this starlight does not shine on him at all.

Wandering around the department store on a Friday morning, I don't know if I will be regarded as a gangster with nothing to do.However, to pass the time, shopping is an absolute weapon.

Yanqiao Shenyi glanced at the dazzling array of products, and when he passed by the counter selling jewelry, he was suddenly attracted by something.

A trip to Osaka is considered a business trip.

On a business trip, I also brought a gift for my girlfriend...

Iwahashi Shinichi decided that——

After 10 minutes, he paid the bill.Check the time, walk out of the department store, and prepare to go to the appointment.
