Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 792
Seiko Matsuda was besieged by the Music Association, Sony's Kawamura was in a state of desperation.

On the other hand, ALPHA AGENCY, Meldac Records, and Shinichi Iwahashi who strung up the beads gathered together.

It is the first time for ALPHA AGENCY to sign an idol singer, and it is the first time for Meldac Records to accept an idol singer. If it were not for Shinichi Iwahashi, there would be no such development.

Now, Yoko Minano's contract has been settled, and her work plan needs to be determined next.

How Yoko Minano will arrange her next work has nothing to do with Shinichi Iwahashi.But after taking over the production rights of Yoko Minano, when the contract was finalized, he also had to spare time to communicate with related parties to determine her future film release plan.

Changing the family and starting again, planning for such a Yoko Minano record release, the workload is not much different from arranging her re-debut.

The condition for TV Asahi to agree to Shinichi Iwahashi's plan is to let him be the producer of Yoko Minano. Both ALPHA AGENCY and Meldac Records lack relevant experience and do not intend to intervene.

In this way, Iwahashi Shinichi is still a powerful producer with Nanano Yoko.

However, Yoko Minano left Sony and switched to Meldac Records. The production team and music library around her had to be rebuilt bit by bit. Shin Iwahashi held the power in one hand, but it was impossible to take care of everything.

Meldac Records has its own music library and its own team. The production company under Shinichi Iwahashi also has its own music library to choose from.In addition, it is too late to invite her to sing for her now.As for the tune, I don't have to worry about it.

Tokura Shunichi's influence is still in the music industry, and he has torn face with him. At most, the songwriters in the music industry will no longer provide songs for Yoko Minano.

But today, the music world is no longer the era when songwriters in the music industry call the wind and rain.

Yanqiao Shinichi has a great influence among the bands and has a wide network of contacts. He also has a dedicated composer under his command, so inviting songs is a trivial matter.However, during the discussion, he suddenly mentioned that he wanted to invite Nahoko Kawai to sing for Yoko Minano.

"Nahoko Kawai?"

At the mention of this name, the record company and those related to the firm present rarely showed a trace of subtlety.There's no way, an out-of-date female idol, a singer-songwriter who can't sell, soliciting a song from her is unreliable no matter how you listen to it.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi did not waver, "Maybe there will be a good spark." He mentioned, "This project album, a collaboration between Kawai-san and Saijo Hideki-san, will sing Kawai-san's songs. "

The planning hasn't progressed to the one with Nahoko Kawai and Hideki Saijo, so now it's a spoiler ahead of time.None of the people present were involved in the planning of the album, and I couldn't help but be surprised to hear the news he revealed.

For such an important project, it is risky enough to invite two outdated idol group bands, and even use Nahoko Kawai's song?

Those who were present could not help but think so in their hearts.

Although trying not to show his face in order to maintain dignity, he felt that something should be shown in his heart, so these related people continued to put the subtlety of hearing Nahoko Kawai's name on their faces.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't notice it, "I really appreciate the song from Kawai Sauna. It is precisely because I have some understanding of her creative talent that I want to invite her to sing for Nanye."

If I really want to say, female composers contributed a lot to the idol craze in the 80s.Yumi Matsutoya, Miyuki Nakajima, Maria Takeuchi, these big-name singer-songwriters have made countless idols popular.

Among them, Maria Takeuchi was still an idol when she debuted.Afterwards, she transformed herself into a singer-songwriter, and wrote many famous songs for female idols——

Including the classic song "Stop Arguing" for Nahoko Kawai.

Of course, comparing Kawai Nahoko with these great gods is a bit cheeky.However, Shinichi Iwahashi felt that Kawai Nahoko was a qualified composer, there is no doubt about it.

This time, inviting Kawai Nahoko to participate in the planning and using her songs was not his whim.On the contrary, it was he who first invited Kawai Nahoko to sing, and Kawai Nahoko's final song was approved by him, and then he talked about in-depth cooperation.

In other words, at least in this project, Kawai Nahoko's creative ability has been recognized by Iwahashi Shinichi and even the production team.

The other groups of singers who participated in the project almost all decided to cooperate first, and then arranged to create or invite songs. Only the brother-sister group of Nahoko Kawai and Hideki Saijo passed the exam first before making a decision.

The reason why the brothers and sisters are invited is because they both debut as idols.Needless to say, Hideki Nishijo, the former top male idol, Nahoko Kawai also won rookie awards when she first debuted, attracting much attention.

Since then, both of them passed away, transformed, and continued to pass away after transformation, which is a very typical idol career.Gathering such two siblings together, and then letting them form the most popular form at the moment-the band, in a sense, fits well with the theme of this project.

Kawai Nahoko was very happy when she received a song invitation from Iwahashi Shinichi.

As a creator, there is nothing more gratifying than being recognized for his creative ability, especially for Nahoko Kawai.She has been transforming into a singer-songwriter since 1986, and has won awards as a composer, but she has never been able to get a place in the industry as a singer-songwriter.

Even when she decided to transform from an idol to a singer-songwriter, the first ones who resisted her were the fans of her idol days.Fans were dissatisfied with Kawai Nahoko's transformation, and stopped buying her records one after another——

"We support the idol Nahoko!"

There are even crazy fans who think that as long as Kawai Nahoko's transformation is not smooth, she will change back to the previous route.Therefore, not only did I not buy it myself, but I also tried my best to persuade people around me not to buy it.

Not only did he fail to save the capital for transformation, but he was also frantically boycotted by fans after the transformation, just like starting from scratch.

There has been no breakthrough after the transformation, but Nahoko Kawai has no plans to retreat.

Then, at such a time when no one cares about her life, suddenly, now well-known in the industry, Shinichi Iwahashi asked her to sing, and Nahoko Kawai's mood can be imagined.

And when she handed over the work that Iwahashi Shinichi was satisfied with, she was invited by him to participate in the project album, and even the partner of the cooperation was the senior Saijo Hideki.

This development surprised Nahoko Kawai.However, without hesitation, she decided to join in.

So, there was a "sister" who made her debut under the light of Xicheng Hideki. After many years, she formed a band with her "brother" and asked her "brother" to sing songs written by herself.Such a combination.

Nahoko Kawai is in charge of writing the songs, while the arrangement of the music is handed over to a professional arranger.After that, when the recording started, Iwahashi Shin only saw her and Saijo Hideki two or three times.

Xicheng Hideki is 34 years old at this time, just in his prime.Although he was born as an idol, his singing ability is absolutely nothing to say.When such a super idol is popular, please don't invite him.However, it is different now.

However, the position of senior is there, and the entire recording studio is polite to him.This is not only because of his high status, but also because Xicheng Hideki is indeed impeccable in his work and worthy of respect.

Even Shinichi Iwahashi, who has no feelings for him and doesn't know much about him, has worked with him twice, and his affection for Hideki Nishijo quickly increased.I thought in my heart that I deserve to be someone who can lead the times.

The people in the recording studio were polite and polite towards Hideki Nishijo, but they were much more relaxed towards Nahoko Kawai.Although really speaking, Nahoko Kawai, who debuted in 1980, is also a "senior".

In the two or three times I met Nahoko Kawai, Nahoko Kawai was very happy every time I saw Shinichi Iwahashi.Recognized by the producer who is known as the "Golden Hand", participating in his project and singing his own songs, this is the strongest encouragement for Kawai Nahoko, who is in a downturn in her career and even doubts herself.

Now that the tide of idols has begun to recede, idols are looking for their own new paths.Kawai Nahoko, who left the idol line early, was also advised by the company to try acting because her career did not improve.

Such a proposal sounded especially ironic to her.If she hadn't transformed and had always been an idol, she must be outdated by now.And the company, most of the time, would suggest "trying to act."

However, now I have received an invitation from Iwahashi Shinichi.This reassured Nahoko Kawai, who was in a daze.

It’s hard to say how long the encouragement brought by this planning invitation will last, but at least, Shinichi Iwahashi, who met Nahoko Kawai during the cooperation, was deeply impressed by her joy of receiving recognition.

Because of this, and Nahoko Kawai did show her creative talent with Shinichi Iwahashi, so this time, Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to invite her to write a song for Yoko Minano.

He insisted on sending an invitation to Nahoko Kawai, and those related to ALPHA AGENCY and Meldac Records couldn't say anything more, so they could only let him do it.

So it's settled.

After talking about this, turn this page, and those present, continue to talk about other things.

After the discussion, the preliminary plan is to first collect songs from Yoko Minano according to the number of songs that can be produced into two albums, and in the next year, first determine the release plan of three singles and one album.

In addition, for the national tour, now also book venues for her in advance.Iwahashi Shinichi had the final say on the production, and the record company and the office had to cooperate with each other to make preparations.

Still have to be busy.Still have their own busy.

That's it, after discussing the business, the group of people will go to another place to have fun and have a glass of wine at the end. Only in this way can it be regarded as the end.

After finishing the drinks, the manager of ALPHA AGENCY went to arrange a taxi.

By the time I got into the car, it was past 11:30pm.When I get home, today is another day.When Shinichi Iwahashi returned home, he saw that the message light was on.

It's from Akina Nakamori.

He subconsciously went to get the pager.While checking the paging, while listening to the message, "...you must call me when you come back. I will wait no matter how late."

After listening to the message, Yanqiao Shenyi called back the phone.

When dialing the number, I didn't know what she had to say. "Waiting for many nights", such stubbornness makes people not think too much.

After waiting for a while, the phone picked up.

From the receiver, Akina Nakamori's voice came, "Moshi Moshi—"

"Have you been drinking?"

Yanqiao Shen heard her voice a little flustered, and guessed.

Nakamori Akina said "hmm", "I've been waiting for your call back." I was bored of waiting, so I played with myself.

"I just came back." Shinichi Iwahashi explained to her, "I met with the record company and the firm's relations tonight, and I didn't see your page."

Akina Nakamori continued to listen with "um, um".

After Yanqiao Shinichi finished reporting to the leader, he turned to her and asked, "Did something happen?"

"..."

When he asked, Nakamori Akina didn't know what to say.

"Huh?" Yanqiao Shinichi waited to hear.

Akina Nakamori turned her little head, which was a little fluttering after drinking, and said suddenly: "You just admire my decision to give you the key to the house."

"what?"

Yanqiao Shinichi was stunned by her nonsensical words, "What happened?"

Listening to his drowsy voice, Nakamori Akina bulged her cheeks on the other end of the phone.It's not that I'm awkward with him, but I don't know why I feel awkward.

After a while of timidity, I told him, "I'm going to be followed by reporters all the time."

Yanqiao Shenyi's heart moved, "Have you been noticed?"

"Not at all."

Akina Nakamori's reaction seemed to be questioned by a layman about her ability to hide from reporters. She plausibly said, "I've always been paying attention."

In order to protect him from being hurt by the media, he also worried that he would be blocked by the outside world after being exposed.

Her heart can only be kept in her heart, not on her lips.I'm afraid Yanqiao Shen will feel pressured when he hears this.

"It's because of Sheng Zisang." She explained to Yanqiao Shinichi.

As soon as Yanqiao Shen heard it, he understood in his heart.It can only be said that he really deserves to be a top idol. When something happens, the idols in the entire industry will be affected.

The idol is affected, and the man behind his idol is also affected.

Akina Nakamori finished explaining, and when Shinichi Iwahashi didn't move, he urged him, "Say something too."

"Saint Son Sang?"

Nakamori Akina said "hmm", "It's pathetic, isn't it?"

But this is the path Seiko Matsuda chose.Not only did she choose it herself, but she chose it after careful planning.However, this kind of thing cannot be said to Akina Nakamori.

Yanqiao Shinichi understood why she said "very pitiful".

"Anyway," Akina Nakamori raised her voice slightly, as if to brighten up the atmosphere, and said to him, "I won't be seeing you for a while."

She repeated the old saying, "Now, when you go home at night, you don't have to guess, 'Did Mingcai hide at my house today~' That's it."

This Akina Nakamori also deliberately had a rough voice, imitating his speech.

Yanqiao Shinichi couldn't help laughing, "Indeed, when I came home recently, I didn't have to worry about being attacked."

"You really think so?" The paper tiger became impatient again.
