Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 614 614. Still young
DREAMS COME TRUE There can only be one person with singing talent.

But at the same time, there can be two little foxes stamped by a mouse carrying a gun as Zeng Yi who has no singing talent.

Miwa-chan looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who was hit by her with a grin, the sullenness just now was gone.She put down the "weapon" that poked the rotten carrot in her hand, and announced happily: "I'm full."

Yanqiao Shinichi, who had just been stamped by her, didn't want to talk to her very much, silently stuffed the miscellaneous boiled food into his mouth, and chewed casually.

On the TV, it was replaced with new content.The short segment that was broadcast just now was probably something like a program preview.A new single is released, and the band has booked a music show or two.

For example, the indispensable "MUSIC STATION", as well as "THE BEST TEN", the No.1 airborne list.

For prime-time programs, when I went to the show for the first time, I felt a sense of solemnity that my long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, but after I watched it more times, I felt no fluctuations in my heart, and it was only regarded as a part of the promotional period.

Considering that there will be a new album and a circus tour waiting for the new single soon after, the entire promotional period is connected together, it is not good to be too dense in the early stage, and the form of the new single is very good, but it is not so dependent Music program exposure.Therefore, during the single promotion period this time, the arrangement of the music program is quite restrained.

Of course, for popular bands, if you are a little picky about the program, there is no program to attend.However, even for idols, in the past two years, there are fewer and fewer programs to participate in.

It has been on the table for a long time that idols have gone downhill.There are not many newcomers who can really become popular, and the middle and low-level idols are all the same, which makes the audience feel tired.

Music programs with high ratings only open their arms to popular idols, while music programs with low grades accept middle and low-level idols, but they have to face the cruel reality that the audience is tired of watching and the ratings continue to decline.

The performance of idols puts more emphasis on "performance" than pure singing.And gorgeous costumes, well-designed dances, and expensive stages, no matter what they are, they are burning expenses.

When the ratings are high, the advertising costs are sufficient and affordable.Once the ratings drop, the funding will have to be cut.Even in the bubble era when spending money is like burning money, TV stations and advertisers are not fools who spend money at will.

Idol music programs that rely on funds will fall into a vicious circle once their funds are cut.

In contrast, bands or singers who can show their charm as long as they have a stage are more economical and have a high rate of return.

What's more, it's the band's turn to rise up now. Not only that, this wave of waves is not a traditional band that doesn't appear on TV, but a new band that actively participates in TV programs.

For a comprehensive music program, bands are warmly welcome to participate. In this way, the position of idols will be crowded out.

Feng Shui turns.

And once the signs appear, there will be winds from all directions, intentionally or unintentionally, coming to fuel the flames.

TV stations make program adjustments every April and October. Since last year, idol song programs with poor ratings have been announced to be revised or ended.

April of this year is coming in a blink of an eye, and the TV station will make another adjustment.

It doesn't cost much for two people to eat miscellaneous boiled food.

The boss came out from the counter, looked at Miwa-chan again, and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, is this Yoshida-san from DREAMS COME TRUE?"

Mihe-chan and Yanqiao Shen exchanged glances, looked at the boss, and showed a hearty smile, "Hello!"

"It really is you." The boss warmed up, "I thought you looked familiar just now."

After a few pleasantries, the boss asked Meihejiang if he could sign his autograph and decorate it in the miscellaneous cooking shop.Meihejiang readily agreed, and took the signature board and pen from the boss.

Yanqiao Shinichi watched her write his name in a swish.

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

He stayed out of the matter, silently being his onlookers by the side.

After Meihejiang finished writing the name, the tip of the pen paused, but it didn't end. Instead, she painted a moving giraffe head and wrote a sentence: "Thank you~"

"..."

He was speechless for a while.

The owner of the miscellaneous cooking shop is well versed in human affairs and affairs, so he asked Mihe-chan for his autograph, shook hands with her, and only nodded with Iwahashi Shin, without any hint of inquiring.

"Can I make a suggestion?"

Coming out of the miscellaneous cooking shop, Iwahashi Shinichi discussed with Miwa-chan, "Can you draw the giraffe more beautifully?"

"It's interesting to draw a giraffe on it when I sign it?" Mei Hejiang said complacently, "This is the way I designed the signature."

She turned her head to look at Yanqiao Shinichi, "I didn't do it on a whim, I've practiced it many times in private."

"..."

"Whatever you want." Yanqiao Shen gave up in a second, remembering the photos taken during the outing that were embellished on the inside page of the single according to her vision.It added photos of three people with their faces painted on.

A giraffe, a fox cub, and a bear cub.

Meihejiang said that she has practiced many times, but she really didn't just say it casually, she did draw a lot. ...But the more this happened, the more delicate Iwahashi Shinichi felt when he thought of the moving giraffe head that might not be able to improve any more.

Two people are walking on a quiet street.It is said to be quiet, but from time to time you can hear the noise of drunks coming from a distance or not far away.

"I don't know what people who bought the single will think when they see the photos on the inside page."

Meihechan is quite confident, "Isn't it cute?"

"is it?"

"Yeah." She nodded seriously, "Many people will like it."

"Okay." Yanqiao Shinichi agreed.This kind of silly remark is particularly convincing when she utters it.

Mihe-chan glanced at him, and said to him, "I'm going to read fan letters. If you see something that says 'like it' and 'very cute' in a letter from a fan, I'll show you the letter."

"Okay." Yanqiao Shenyi had nothing to do.

He is too busy with work alone, and never reads fan letters.

Mei Hejiang arranged a new task for herself, and she was full of energy, "I want to drink some beer again."

"I'm going back." Yanqiao Shen looked at his watch, unwilling to accompany him.

Meihejiang let out an "oh", and then gave up her mind.The two walked on the road.The shops on both sides of the street are closed, only the neon lights and billboards are colorful and reflect each other.

Yanqiao Shinichi stood on the side of the road, ready to wait for a taxi.

Meihejiang said to him, "Isn't the station right next to it?"

"Next time." Iwahashi Shin was half joking and half serious, "Take the tram when you go out wearing a disguise." Although she is a star, Mihe-chan has no such self-consciousness at all, and she doesn't even wear a disguise when she goes out .

With Brother Nakamura present, he knew how to restrain himself when exposing Shinichi Iwahashi as a giraffe man, but it was only the two of them, there was no need to cover for Shinichi Iwahashi, Mihe-chan had no sense of disguise at all.

She didn't care at all, "If I'm recognized, I'll greet them, shake hands, and sign for them one by one."

"Do you want to draw another giraffe?"

"If Shinichi-kun happens to be there, then draw."

It turns out that drawing a giraffe on the signature is still a sign.

"It's going to be a big project." Yanqiao Shinichi said, "Maybe it will alert the conductor to come over and evacuate."

Meihechan herself is still ignorant of the "famousness" thing, and she doesn't know if she will really alarm the conductors.Pulling his sleeves, he walked towards the station, "Then I'll shake hands with the conductor Sang and say, 'You've worked hard.'"

Iwahashi Shinichi believed that she could really do such a thing.

A taxi slows down to stop.He pissed off the driver, followed Meihejiang, and walked to the station together.

……

The shops on both sides of the street have been closed.

The closed shutter door was still brightly lit.The record store clerks are busy arranging the shelves and arranging the new releases on the shelves.Popular singers should be placed in a conspicuous place, and less famous singers should be placed in the general area.

It is also necessary to cooperate with the publicity of the record company and hang up the posters to be hung.

Newly released records have to be arranged, and even records that have already been released must be rearranged.

Records that are continuing to sell well should continue to be placed in a conspicuous position. It has passed the popularity but people still ask from time to time, so corresponding adjustments must be made.

"Don't move the single of DREAMS COME TRUE, you can change the album of Gosang Nagabuchi first..." The store manager stood at the counter, checking the inventory, and gave instructions to the shop assistants.

"ZARD's new single is placed in a more prominent place."

This afternoon, ZARD's new single arrived and will go on sale tomorrow.

The clerks shuttled between the shelves in response to the store manager's instructions, and quickly arranged the singles and albums that needed to be taken care of this week.

In addition to popular singers, there are also various records of new singers and unknown singers.

The music industry can probably release hundreds of records a week. Excluding the unknown people who can only distribute goods in a small area, there are always hundreds of records that can be delivered to their small-scale record store.

"And then B'z..."

The store manager confirmed that he hadn't received any promotional fees from their company, "Just put these photos in a corner. They won't be sold anyway."

On the album cover, there are two tough-looking young men.

……

Early in the morning, Akina Nakamori called her mother, Chieko.

"I'll go back and see you later, okay?"

Chieko happily said, "I've prepared your lunch."

"Don't use too much, mom." Akina Nakamori and Chieko said, "I'm going to rehearse for the concert this afternoon."

Qian Huizi agreed, "Understood."

While chatting on the phone, I heard noise from Qian Huizi, like a child's voice.

Nakamori Akina was about to ask, but Chieko told her first, "Heita-kun is here today."

Heita is the son of Nakamori Akina's second brother, and he is three years old this year.

Chieko explained to her that the second brother and his wife had made an appointment to see a doctor today, so they sent Pingta there early in the morning and asked her to take care of them.

"Mingcai Sauce~"

On the other end of the phone, Chieko handed the receiver to Heita.He was facing the phone, and greeted this aunt who was rarely seen but could be seen on TV in a childlike voice.

Nakamori Akina couldn't help but smile at the child's voice, "Good morning, Heita-kun~"

Akina Nakamori likes little Heita very much.

Although the relationship between brothers and sisters is a bit delicate, she loves the children of her brothers and sisters very much.Children don't understand or understand what happened between adults, and they adore this aunt or aunt who can be seen on TV.

Knowing that Heita was at his mother's place, Akina Nakamori set off a little later and went to buy a piece of cake.

Sure enough, seeing the cake she brought, Xiao Pingtai was overjoyed.Chieko took the cake and took it to the kitchen to cut it.Besides the cake, Akina Nakamori brought other things.

"What's that?" Chieko asked.

"It's dry goods." Akina Nakamori told her mother.

Part of the large package of dry goods that Shinichi Iwahashi ordered from Terada Dry Goods in Osaka.

When writing down the order form and handing it to Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori planned in her heart to bring a copy to her mother Chieko who likes to cook.

"How did you think of bringing dry goods back?" Qian Huizi felt strange, "There is a dry goods store next door to the apartment on the other side of the station."

"This is a dry product from Osaka, and the quality is quite good." Akina Nakamori said.

"Have you gone to work in Osaka?"

She shook her head, "It's not me."

She told her mother about Shinichi Iwahashi's dealings with the Terada family.Qian Huizi laughed loudly, "So, he is a young man who is very popular with my aunt."

The mother and daughter wanted to go together.

Akina Nakamori remembered that she had commented on Shinichi Iwahashi in the same way, and found it interesting.She was half acting like a baby to her mother, and half talking to herself, "Mom will like him too."

"I'm not an aunt." Chieko joked with her daughter.

Nakamori Akina nodded again and again, "Mom is still young."

Chieko loved beauty and fashion since she was young, and she is still the same now, with a young mind.Staying at home, carefully matching clothes, dyed her hair brown, if you don't get along with her day and night, it is rare to have the opportunity to see her hair roots that are more than half white.

The mother and daughter were chatting dry goods in the kitchen, and Pingtai couldn't wait outside, urging them.

The two looked at each other with a smile, and walked out with saucers and tea trays.

……

"Is Misora ​​Hibari-san alright?"

Heita ate the cake and smeared his face, and Akina Nakamori held his little nephew in his arms, and wiped off the cream and cake crumbs on him with a handkerchief.

Hearing her mother's words, she raised her head, "The details are not very clear, but according to the staff, Miku-san's office has decided to suspend this year's concert tour and concentrate on recuperation."

A few days ago, Misora ​​Hibari was hospitalized due to a sharp deterioration in her physical condition. Not long after, she announced through her personal office that she would suspend her performing arts activities and cancel this year's scheduled tour.

"That's not good." Qian Huizi expressed worry on her face.

She has been a fan of Hibari Misora ​​since she was young.In the past few years, there have been reports of Misora ​​Hibari's poor health from time to time, and she has been hospitalized many times.

Chieko herself has been in poor health for a few years. When her idol suffered from illness, she also suspected that she would not be able to make it through, but she saved the day.

Now, it was her turn to worry about her idol sincerely.
