Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 736 736. Say what you say
Taking advantage of work breaks, Iwahashi Shinichi was interviewed by a music magazine at the record company by the way.

The name of the magazine is "MUSICA". It has not been too long since its publication, but it mainly introduces bands and singers, and almost never talks about idols.

Idols have magazines dedicated to idols, for boys and girls who are chasing stars to buy.If the students have limited pocket money, several people will buy a copy together. Afterwards, they will cut up the magazine and take away the copies of their favorite idols.

Japan's idol era has lasted for 20 years. Idol production is professional, and so are star chasers.

Yanqiao Shenyi was interviewed for the first time. Fortunately, it was his own territory, and he had communicated with all the questions he wanted to ask.

And vice versa, the same goes for magazines.I got his information in advance, knowing that this is a young president and a young producer, when we meet, there is no need to be surprised by his age——

Not surprised, but excited.

The reporter sent by "MUSICA" magazine was not very old, not even a few years older than Iwahashi Shinichi.I came to interview a young producer, but I feel kind because of his age.

As for despising him because of his age, there is almost no chance of it happening now.

The two sides exchanged business cards, and the person who interviewed Iwahashi Shinichi was a young man surnamed Koben.

The interviewed magazine featured bands and singers. During the interview, in addition to the planned album, more questions were asked about the band Paradise and the women's rock music festival he had led to produce.After sorting out the resume of Iwahashi Shinichi, this young producer is exactly the type that the audience of "MUSICA" pays attention to.

"In short, my attitude has always been that I don't reject the commercialization of bands." Yanqiao Shenyi mentioned this in interviews for the first time. After all, he was also a well-known figure in the underground music circle at the beginning, and he is still quite famous among underground bands. To be asked such questions.

"On the one hand, if the band is commercialized, there will be more opportunities for the band's music to be heard. On the other hand, if the mainstream debut band sells well enough, the presence of the band in the music industry will be greatly reduced. high enough, then even music that doesn’t sell or commercialize will be in a better position.”

"Now that I am making this project album, the initial consideration is almost around this point." Shinichi Iwahashi answered related questions, "In short, I want to bring more opportunities for communication between different types of music, and look for possibility of it."

……

"Yanqiao-san, thank you! Thank you for your cooperation."

The reporter surnamed Jiaben, after turning off the recorder, bowed to him.

Yanqiao Shen smiled, "Thank you."

As soon as the interview was over, the atmosphere in the small meeting room suddenly changed.However, this interview did not include the photo session, and Shinichi Iwahashi's fate with the photo shoot has finally given him a break.

The clerk brought over new tea.

Yanqiao Shenyi was not in a hurry to chase away the guests, but chatted with Jiaben again.The music magazine is a magazine that focuses on bands and singers, and he also really wants to listen to Jia Ben to talk about his views on the music industry.

After talking for a while, Jia Ben thought about it, and suddenly mentioned something, "Does Yanqiao-san know a band called THE BLUE HEARTS?"

Iwahashi Shinichi responded and nodded.

He remembered that Mineshima had mentioned to himself before that the band was facing termination of the contract because it offended Mitsubishi Electric.

"I'm very optimistic about this band. I've been paying attention to them since they were still underground." Ben Jia said, smiling a little embarrassedly, "I have the same surname as the lead singer of the band, Jun."

"Is everyone surnamed Jiaben?"

"That's right, the lead singer's name is 'Horen', and my name is 'Straightforward'." Jia Ben was a little proud when he mentioned this coincidence, which could not be called a coincidence.

"A while ago, the band was coerced by the investors of the record company because of a song against the use of nuclear energy..." Jia Ben also mentioned this matter.

"Because the nuclear energy objected to is the energy being used by the record company's investors, it is too much to be coerced and now have to pay liquidated damages and the company's termination of the contract." Jiaben said.

He knew that the person he was going to interview was someone who had led the production of a music festival and was well-known in the underground music circle. After all, he had some hope in his heart that he could get Shinichi Yanqiao to help a group of THE BLUE HEARTS.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi just listened calmly to what he said about the current situation of the band and related details, and didn't say anything more.

After all, it was the first time we met, although Jiaben was a bit reconciled, but he couldn't say anything else.

However, when I left, I was still a little disappointed.

Even if he knew in his heart, Yanqiao Shinichi's reaction was a normal one.However, there is still a feeling of loss that is different from the idol in my heart.

Iwahashi Shinichi sent away the interview book and returned to the office.

Sit down, think for a while about THE BLUE HEARTS just mentioned, pick up a pen, and make a note in the notepad.

……

"Long and sweet follow-up kisses, I want to get to know you endlessly."

"Falling in love, I see transparent dreams burning every time there's a hot kiss."

When singing the lyrics, Akina Nakamori imagined breaking off a small piece of chocolate and putting it in his mouth when he was slightly drunk.The chocolate melted in the mouth, and the sweetness flowed down the throat, and the slightly drunk body floated.

She has been looking forward to this cooperation for a long time.Not only because Yanqiao Shen took her coquettishness to heart, which led to such a cooperation, but also because she liked this song from the bottom of her heart.

As soon as the recording started, Akina Nakamori focused all her attention on the score in front of her.Iwahashi Shinichi, who was standing opposite, didn't look up at all, but listened carefully with headphones on.

Both of them work in the recording industry, but this is the first time they have worked together.From this point of view, the two people who are already familiar with each other usually have to get to know each other from scratch in the recording studio.

The mutual pretentiousness will only appear in the spare time of chatting. Once working, Iwahashi Shinichi has to get to know the singer Akina Nakamori again, and Akina Nakamori has to accept the behavior style of this young producer.

This song "Kiss" has been written for a long time, and several versions of the song have been arranged. However, the official version has not yet been determined, and the one that is used as an accompaniment is the first version.

A few days ago, the first recording was not considered a formal start, but just an audition according to the usual practice, in order to get acquainted with the song, understand the characteristics of the voices of both parties, and then determine how to sing in the future.

Today's recording is the official start.

After debuting for eight years, she has been able to manage her own album production single-handedly. This kind of Akina Nakamori has a strong style and is full of opinions. In addition, her singing level in the recording studio is also impressive.

This level has long been separated from "idol", and he is a serious solo singer.

Even so, Yanqiao Shinichi was not very satisfied with how she sang this song.It's okay to focus on the atmosphere, but from the perspective of the singing effect, it seems too erratic.

If it is a collection of albums, around the theme, to produce an entire album with a unified atmosphere, that would be a different matter.However, as a single to be released, the harmony of ORIGINAL LOVE had to be added, so this singing method seemed inappropriate and had to be changed again.

As he listened, he began to ponder in his heart how to arrange it later.

……

Akina Nakamori has never sung a song as sweet as this "Kiss".

Yanqiao Shen regards her as an actor among singers, and admires her ability to mobilize emotions, and now she wants to sing such a song more than ever before, and she can sing the feeling of it better.

I want to process the warmth and joy of love and put it into this song.

I love Iwahashi Shinichi passionately in my heart, and the secret relationship makes the two not only lovers, but in a sense, they also keep secrets for each other at the same time.The secret in her arms made her feel warm all the time.

Therefore, I want to take advantage of this momentum to sing a song that has never been sung, and challenge the emotions that have never been shown.

And the proposal letter sent by Yanqiao Shinichi is like a love letter that only two people can understand.

Entering the recording studio, Akina Nakamori didn't even look at Shinichi Iwahashi while singing.Entering the world of songs, the Iwahashi Shinichi who is thinking in my heart is not the Iwahashi Shinichi in front of me, but the "you" in the song.

But after thinking about it again, the reason why the image of "you" in the song can stand is precisely because of Yanqiao Shinichi.

The more I like this song, the more I want to make this song well, the more Akina Nakamori pays attention to the personal style I injected into it.

After singing one time, Akina Nakamori regained his senses, looked at the other side, and waited for his instructions.

Yanqiao Shinichi lowered his head, with an expression of not knowing what he was thinking.

Just looking at it this way, Nakamori Akina couldn't guess what he was thinking in his heart, and what he thought of her behavior just now.The music stopped, Yanqiao Shinichi raised his head and looked over.

Akina Nakamori looked at him as if nothing had happened. With this appearance, his ability to pretend is really amazing.

……

Recording is going on here, and on the other side, the little assistant is counting the time and going to prepare tea for Akina Nakamori when she comes out later.There were too many people in the recording studio, so it was not good to just prepare it for my own Ming Cai-san, so I went to Zhang Luo, who was running around, with the recording assistant who was doing odd jobs in the recording studio.

Yanyin is rich and powerful, and the funds for entertainment are also sufficient.Basically, as long as you work with Taopu Star in their firm, you can enjoy good logistics services together——

If Nakamori Akina's undisguised personality offends someone, the firm will spend money to manage it, and the agent will bow and apologize.

After bringing the tea in, the little assistant glanced at the console, where the young producer stood with his head down.Where she was, she could only see his back.

It's the producer named "Iwahashi-san"... the little assistant thought quietly.

Even though she had decided long ago to put away her extra curiosity, read the assistant manual from time to time, and quietly guard Ming Cai-san's smile, but when she came to the recording studio and saw that face she had seen more than once, she still couldn't help but feel it in her heart. Think, I have seen this person many times.

The first time I saw him was in Warner's recording studio.Last time, Akina-san's concert at Yomiuriland, this young producer also went...

Moreover, there was a strange-looking belt around the wrist, which might have been the thin waistband of the skirt.

Is it this person?

After remembering who this person was, the little assistant stopped thinking about it, so as not to guess where the belt should be.

Assistant Manual, often read and updated.

The little assistant looked over the shoulder of the producer Yanqiao, looked at Akina Nakamori who was singing seriously on the opposite side, then looked back, lowered his head, and continued busy preparations.

At this time, the producer Yanqiao heard from the console: "It's ok."

……

"Okay."

Shinichi Iwahashi issued an order, watched Nakamori Akina take off the earphones, and took off the earphones himself.She was in a good mood, and she came out of the recording room impatiently, wanting to try out the recording she just made.

The staff got busy when Shinichi Iwahashi responded "no problem".

When replaying the audition, the power amplifier equipment is used, and everyone in the recording studio can hear it.The little assistant stood in the corner, listening to Akina Nakamori's singing:
"Long and sweet follow-up kisses, I want to get to know you endlessly."

It's such a song.

The little assistant held his breath and listened carefully to every line of lyrics sung by Akina Nakamori.

After the recording was played, Iwahashi Shinichi sat down, "Very good."

He then changed the subject, "However, there is something I would like to discuss with Ming Cai-san."

"Huh?" Akina Nakamori looked at him.

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "I would like to ask you to change the way you sing the song a little bit. Although there is no problem with the idea of ​​emphasizing the atmosphere, but if you emphasize the atmosphere too much, it will appear erratic..."

He paused, and looked at Akina Nakamori's face - there was no expression, as if nothing had happened.

"It's not the right way to sing this song." He then finished his sentence.

Akina Nakamori stared at him, nodded, and said "Oh" without saying anything.Not a great attitude for a first-time producer, but it's not a bad one either.

However, if it is Akina Nakamori who is uncompromising in the recording studio, this attitude is very normal.She was used to following her own ideas, so she poured all her energy into auditioning, but in the end, she was told that she needed to change it, and she couldn't understand it for a while.

Nakamori Akina said the same thing in the recording studio, and Iwahashi Shinichi did the same.

Since entering the industry, since he started working as a producer, he has always been involved, not only participating in song production, but also participating in publicity planning. In the recording studio, he is also a monopoly.

Such Yanqiao Shinichi is more used to deciding how to make a song.

After he finished speaking, he reached for his share of tea, and just took a sip, when suddenly, Akina Nakamori was neither soft nor hard, and said to him, "A little more erratic, a little dreamy, and pay attention to the atmosphere. Iwahashi-san, I think This way of handling is more in line with the atmosphere of the song itself.”

"Isn't it?" she said, narrowing her eyes and showing a small, polite smile.

"I don't think there is a problem with my singing style."

Iwahashi Shinichi mentally translated Nakamori Akina's words.
