Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 797
The band actually turned around this time.

Faced with the weekly feedback on album sales and the popularity of the song in disco, Nagato Taiko couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Since its debut, B'z has released several singles without splash. This mini-album was not expected by anyone when it was first released. Nagato Taiyuki himself is even more prepared. If the band does not improve, Take back the production rights from Takahiro Matsumoto.

Nagato Taiko, who is used to speaking out, has long been dissatisfied with Matsumoto Takahiro's strong personality of not giving in.

The result was unexpected!
"Make an album that can be played in the disco", this ridiculous idea of ​​rushing to the doctor, actually let Matsumoto Takahiro hit the idea by mistake.

At the beginning of this album's release, no one cared about it, but it gradually became popular, and now, it can even be said to be a little red.

Previously, Nagato Taiko and Matsumoto Takahiro agreed that if the album fails, the production rights will be taken back, and he will make the next route plan for the band instead.

But now, the album cannot be called a "failure" by any means.Not only that, but it continues to sell well on the charts. Although it did not get a high ranking, it is stable every week, and it looks like a long-selling album.

In this way, Nagato Taiko can't repeat the old story, and there is no reason to mention the right to produce B'z again.This makes Nagato Taiyuki not so happy even though the performance of the band, which has been sluggish since its debut, has finally improved.

It is true that the band has achieved results, but it is also a band that is not under his control.

Takahiro Matsumoto didn't pay attention to or care about what Nagato was thinking. The album sold well this time. After confirming the sales, he returned to the recording studio and continued to produce with his teammate Hiroshi Inaba and his team. music.

With the achievements in hand, Nagato Taiyuki has no chance to point fingers.And depending on the situation, he didn't care about Taiko Nagato's decision to take back the production rights at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Taiko Nagato was in a delicate mood, and it was difficult to be sincerely happy for the band.

After all, his desire for human rights is overwhelming.

But at the same time, he is also a businessman who values ​​profit.Therefore, although there is a pimple in my heart about the production rights, since B'z has improved, it may take advantage of the popularity of this album to reach a higher level.

If you own a popular band, you can earn more than just money.

If it's profitable, then don't be aggressive.Nagato Taiko decided to be kind.

……

Not being able to get the production rights made Nagato feel uneasy.However, getting the production rights is not necessarily something to be happy about.For example, the right to produce the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan".

The animation of "Chibi Maruko-chan" is scheduled to be broadcast in January next year.The version of the theme song for the animation has already been produced, in addition to that, a version for single release is also made.

After obtaining the right to produce, Nagato Taiko took out a piece by Oda Tetsuro, and asked musicians Kondo Funosuke and Tsubokura Yuiko to form a group, and sent musicians from the production company to accompany him, and borrowed three harmony voices from Star Office female model.

Wait until the production is complete and put it into printing.After the release, it will be marked with the "GENZO" label.

Not only that, because the copyright of this single was split by Iwahashi Shinichi, BEING worked so hard to produce it, and it won't get much benefit afterwards.

If you don't check the production information on the single, you will not know that this single is written by BEING from the beginning to the end.

At the beginning, Nagato Taiyuki wanted to win the right to produce the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan", so he took the initiative to find the original author Momoko, and he did. Momoko recommended BEING and spoke for him.

Afterwards, I did use BEING's songs and handed them over to BEING to produce.

"I got my wish".

Why do you feel so uncomfortable when you have obtained what you want?

After much deliberation, it was all because of that Iwahashi Shinichi!

Nagato Taiko recalled the clip of dealing with that slippery young producer, the more he thought about it, the stronger the feeling of being led by his nose.

This time, it was simply played by that guy.

Nagato was too fortunate to be able to tell, and now he could only hold his nose and swallow.

The only consolation is that Taiko Nagato is very optimistic about this single, and he looks forward to the popularity of the single after it is released. With this limited combination, he won the support of investors and established a record company.

If everything goes well, there will be brotherhood between him and Xingchen Office.At that time, the resources of Xingchen Office will also be given priority to BEING.

And the band called ZARD, under Shinichi Iwahashi's band, suddenly became a collateral.

The brotherhood between Shinichi Iwahashi's record company and the Japanese animation production company made Nagato Taiko suffer a lot this time.

However, when his BEING and Xingchen Office also become "brothers", they will be able to retaliate, and let Iwahashi Shinichi's ZARD taste the feeling of being robbed of resources but helpless.

It is true that Shinichi Iwahashi made a band, but he, Taiko Nagato, has more experience in making a band.At that time, he will not be afraid to fight with GENZO's band.

However, the combination of BBQUEENS alone is not enough.This combination is a bargaining chip for the establishment of a record company, but it is still unknown how it will develop afterwards.What's more, eggs can't be put in the same basket, and a record company can't be set up, nor can it just let one or two bands lead the way.

Now, keep an eye out for suitable seedlings, waiting to form a band.

The lead singer must be handsome and beautiful, and it doesn't matter if he can't compose music, but he must learn to compose lyrics.There is no need to share the same interests with the musicians, anyway, let him, the producer, decide the route.

In order to plan the record company in the middle, it is necessary to prepare in advance now.When the time comes, you can act immediately.

Nagato Taiko plans to form a band with a female lead singer as the core and male musicians, but has not yet selected a suitable female lead singer.Previously, under the pretense of picking Harmony, I had selected the models of Xingchen Office, but to no avail.

To be honest, that Sachiko Puchi, who had been picked out a long time ago, was the right one.

In addition, when I was discussing with Iwahashi Shinichi about the theme song of the animation, the one in the video tape he took out was called Utoku Keiko, which was a good candidate.

Such a good seedling, I don't know how Yanqiao Shinichi will arrange it.

Thinking that this is also a model of Xingchen Agency, and was also picked out by Iwahashi Shinichi in advance, Nagato Taiyuki began to feel unhappy again.It's another matter if Sachiko Uchi has already debuted, but Keiko Utoku...

Since she was not allowed to debut, she shouldn't have snatched her away early!

Having said that, Shinichi Iwahashi, the two bands that are currently launched, the male and female lead singers are both beautiful, and Utoku Keiko is also beautiful... No matter how much this producer pretends, he is not the same as Nagato Taiyuki, who values ​​the singer's appearance above everything else ?
Nagato Taiyuki secretly worked hard, thinking that no matter what, he had to defeat that Iwahashi Shinichi.

……

"That Yanqiao-san is really a great man."

In the evening, men and women sit together.While chatting, the topic came to Iwahashi Shinichi.However, no one felt that this topic was abrupt——

Because among the people here, one of them is Daihemoki who joined GENZO.The one who expressed this emotion was the musician Ikeda who strongly recommended Daikoku Moki to join BEING.

"I've known for a long time that Yanqiao-san must be the one who can do such a thing." When Dahei Moji responded to Ikeda, there was a kind of non-thinking in his words.

This girl really trusted Iwahashi Shinichi unconditionally.

However, this unthinking did not make other people in the room feel incredible.There is no other reason. Everyone here knows how Daihei Moji switched from BEING to GENZO.

Not only that, after joining GENZO, Daikoku Moji also mentioned that before he graduated from high school, he came to Tokyo alone to watch a music festival.After watching the music festival, I made up my mind to come to Tokyo.

In a sense, in the end she was accepted by Yanqiao Shinichi, it was a secret arrangement.

However, after learning more about Shinichi Iwahashi's deeds through the Great Kuromoji, these people undoubtedly have more respect for Shinichi Iwahashi.

Among them was Oda Tetsuro, who had been drinking in silence since just now, listening to Ikeda and Daikoku Maki talking.

Ikeda is passionate about THE BLUE HEARTS. In his heart, Shinichi Iwahashi, who reaches out to the disadvantaged again and again, is like a "god".

In the past, I felt guilty for being insulted by Daikoku Moki because he was introduced to Nagato Taiyuki, but now, I am full of confidence that only Daikokumoki went to Iwahashi Shinichi's place, which is really very correct.

The admiration for Shinichi Iwahashi can dispel the guilt in his heart.This made Ikeda admire Iwahashi Shinichi even more.

Besides, there is another thing I care about——

"When will you make your debut, Moji? Is there any news?" Ikeda admired Daikoku Moji very much, and felt that it would not be a problem for her to make her debut without training.

As soon as the matter of Taoism was mentioned, Oda Tetsuro raised his eyelids and looked at Daikoku Maki.

"Of course there is no debut plan this year." Dahei Moji said casually.

However, she is in the mood to joke, but she is quite comfortable in GENZO, and there is no hindrance to her debut.She told Ikeda, "I met Iwahashi-san before, and he meant that it will be in the middle of next year."

"Now, I go to class on a regular basis, complete the task of writing lyrics and composing music every week, and also go to the recording studio to record, or help sing harmony." Dahei Moji talked about his itinerary, and additionally mentioned, "ZARD's Pochi San and Bolan's Senyou-san are good people, and I get along very well with both of them."

Daikoku Moji said, thinking of something, he looked at Oda Tetsuro, "After I debut, I will have the opportunity to sing Oda-san's song."

Oda Tetsuro smiled, "I still keep it in my hand, the copyright."

However, he paused, "Before that, I should show it to Iwahashi-san." If Iwahashi Shinichi thinks the song is not good, he can't make it difficult for Dai Kuromoji.

Dahei Moji didn't think about that, and responded readily, "You can't carry Yanqiao-san on your back."

"I hope Iwahashi-san can find a match..." Oda Tetsuro took a sip of his wine slowly, with a humble attitude.Even though he is already a well-known composer, he still has a little inferiority complex in his heart from time to time.

But after thinking about it, the song "Let's Dance Together" written by myself was selected as the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan".Before deciding to make it, Shinichi Iwahashi must have heard it and got his approval before starting the production.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that this strange producer was not so strange.

Although Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know, he thought about these things in his heart.But Shinichi Iwahashi did listen to the songs he wrote.

Makoto Iwahashi extended a helping hand to THE BLUE HEARTS, and Tetsuro Oda watched from the side, feeling that this producer who had never met before was shining with brilliance.

Because of this, it is not surprising for Oda Tetsuro to feel the unthinking trust of Daikoku Maki when he mentioned Iwahashi Shinichi.

I hope that Dahei Moji can make his debut as he wishes, and make his debut as soon as possible.

I hope that the song that he thinks is very suitable for her can be released as he wishes.

……

In October, November, and December, the singles charts for these three months, because of the strength of this project, the front row of the charts are fighting together, and singers without two brushes go into the muddy water, that is Submerged in a piece of "Rock Bridge Series" singles.

The single list was messed up by this unreasonable guy, compared to the album list, it was more reasonable.

Then, in mid-November, THE BLUE HEARTS' first post-event album was released.

About this band, it can be said that everyone knows it, and there is no need to introduce it.Therefore, the release of this album did not use much publicity at all——

There is no need for the company to do publicity for them. Just as the band's new album is about to be released, TV stations, radio broadcasting bureaus, music magazines... all take the initiative to find them.

The TV station wants to use the band's song as the opening and ending song of the program, the broadcasting bureau wants to play the band's song in the program, and the music magazine wants to publish an exclusive interview for the band.

THE BLUE HEARTS' first big move after the incident, there are many hot spots waiting to be caught.

Don't be afraid of being rubbed hot, it's even harder to cool down when you're rubbed hot.

The band's management contract hasn't been announced yet, and the record company is fully responsible for it.Accept what should be accepted, and decline what should be rejected. In this selection process, the release date of THE BLUE HEARTS new album has been widely announced.

Even record stores volunteered to hand-write posters for the band, freeing up the most conspicuous shelves in the store.

Before the album was released, orders from record sellers were pouring in.Previously, Shinichi Yanqiao took a gamble and printed 15 copies of "I Stand Here" in one go.

This time, when placing an order with the printing plate factory, the first order was 50 pieces.

50 copies, this is the treatment that only the top and best-selling singers can enjoy. The popularity of THE BLUE HEARTS is high enough, and the popularity of that underground single is strong enough, but no one knows whether this popularity and attention will fall to the new album after the incident has passed.

These 50 copies are still taking risks and gambling.

However, after going through the previous events, this time, when Iwahashi Shinichi proposed to print 50 copies, no one in the company objected.

So, do as he said.

　Thanks to the leader of "Feilx"
