Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 931
Whether it is a family album or a souvenir from childhood, participating in the creation of the album throughout the whole process still gives Hikaru Utada a sense of accomplishment.

In addition to the sense of accomplishment of participating in the production of the album, for this child who is only a little over seven years old, the family of three can produce an album together, or that she can complete one thing with her parents. These may make her even more happy .

During the production of the album, when Shinichi Iwahashi was on the phone with Hikaru Utada, he heard this quirky little girl who looked like Chibi Maruko say in the tone of a little adult: "If Dad and Mom quarrel about music, Get up, and you will be reconciled in no time."

...That said, other things are not necessarily the case.

"And," Utada Hikaru turned around and spoke freely to Iwahashi Shinichi, "Mom will be very patient when it comes to music. Half of the time is gentle, and the other half... the other half will become gentle soon. .”

Saying such words, her tone, rather than revealing loneliness, could hear a hint of satisfaction on the contrary.

Fuji Keiko and Utada Hikaru, the mother and daughter are the main vocalists of this album respectively. The mother who was a professional singer wants to tell her daughter how to sing when she is still a child.

Keiko Fuji lost her temper at her daughter when she couldn't talk or teach well, and Utada Terushi had to smooth things over by her side.But because both mother and daughter like music, it will be natural afterward, and they can get back together again.

For many years, Keiko Fuji has suffered from mental illness and is overwhelmed with self-care. It is difficult to give her daughter the love she can understand and experience.With her husband Utada Terumi, they also separated and reunited, divorced and then remarried, remarried and divorced again.Living apart for a period of time, they naturally come back together again.

For little Utada Hikaru, she has been in this kind of "unstable" all the time.But in addition to the "unstable" family relationship, there is a "stability" in which all three members of the family love music.For her, a family of three made an album together because of their common love for music, which not only gave her a sense of security, but also brought her a love that she could experience and understand.

And Shinichi Iwahashi, who promised to help their family release this album, inadvertently fulfilled her wish.

Because of this, Utada Hikaru trusted Iwahashi Shinichi even more, and he had no reservations.The two people who originally established a friendship because of origami, after the completion of the album, the friendship has become stronger.

The album was printed, and one thousand records were distributed, and within a month, two hundred copies were returned.Even so, it did not affect her waving the crayons in her hand, and designing promotional posters with the help of her father Utada Terumi.

No record store, no streetcar, no place like this little poster.In fact, apart from a few radio spots, and a little space in music-related magazines, there wasn't any decent publicity for the album either.If it wasn't for Yanqiao Shinichi's help, there wouldn't even be that little bit of publicity.

Of course, for this family of three, a little publicity is a good thing, but there is no such thing, and that is also a happy thing.

After the album was produced and printed, Utada Hikaru and Iwahashi Shinichi called and told him about the poster.Iwahashi Shinichi then proposed to hang the finished poster in the record company.

... the painting is all done.

Of course, the reasons he gave are also very good. Since other GENZO singers will put up posters in the company when they release their records, U3's records should of course also have a place for promotional posters.When Iwahashi Shinichi proposed this, Utada Hikaru immediately responded positively. Next time, he will follow his father Utada Terori to the company to play, and bring the poster with him by the way.

Hikaru Utada happily hung up the promotional poster, turned his head, and Utada Terushi thanked Iwahashi Shin for his serious attitude.

At the beginning, Shinichi Iwahashi persuaded Terumi Utada to sign a formal producer contract with GENZO on the condition that he would release home records for the family of three.Now, the promise is not only fulfilled, but also fulfilled to the satisfaction of Utada Teru. The relationship between the two parties has been brought closer because of the successful production of this album.

However, even though he thought in his heart that the compositions that Hikaru Utada participated in were talented, Shinichi Iwahashi did not praise his daughter's talent to Utada truthfully, nor did he say any words of encouragement to Hikaru Utada.

Utada Hikaru's songs reminded Iwahashi Shinichi of Miwa-chan.I remembered that she once said that since kindergarten, she liked to hum the melody that she thought was beautiful, and when she was in primary school, she had a song written by herself—although it was hummed on a tape.

It's just relying on humming whatever comes to mind in this way, and manipulating this unrestrained talent as one likes, that's how Meihejiang came to be.At that time, if an enthusiastic teacher saw her talent and insisted on teaching her how to compose professionally, maybe Meihejiang is still a resident singer in a nightclub now.

Since she is an unconstrained and unrestrained talent, it is better to let Hikaru Utada be happy with herself, let her grow up slowly, and slowly explore the path she is interested in.Besides, for a child who is only seven years old, don't let talent become a burden to her.

In the future, when the child grows up and wants to be a singer or engage in music-related work, if he finds him, Iwahashi Shinichi will definitely try his best to help her——by virtue of the origami friendship established through origami.

In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will also introduce Miwa-chan to Utada Hikaru.When she grows up, if she wants to be a singer, then maybe Meihejiang can teach her to sing.

Although Meihejiang seems to be very talented, she can sing from birth.But in fact, she is a serious technical school. Among the singers of the same period, her singing skills can be said to be one of the best.

Of course, it's too early to think about that.

Miwa-chan is still on tour with Brother Nakamura at this time, and Hikaru Utada, who is only seven and a half years old, is just a kid who likes music. At this moment, Utada's family of three is going back to New York before her summer vacation is over. stay for a while.

And Yanqiao Shinichi himself was sitting in the car sent by Kenyin, ready to go on a date.

After listening to his explanation, Momoi's little assistant suddenly realized: "So that's it! Let's just say that the poster looks a little different..."

She chose her words carefully, thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable word, and came up with a sentence: "I thought, maybe I was looking for some contrast."

"Contrast?" Yanqiao Shinichi found it interesting.

Judging from this tone, you must have been ridiculed by Yanqiao-san, right?The little assistant thought to himself.However, since the words were out of the mouth, I still bite the bullet and continued, "Although such a cute poster is used, it is actually a brutal rock band..."

Yanqiao Shin smiled, "Is this a 'contrast'?"

Half of him wanted to tease the little assistant who talked too much, and he deliberately said to her: "Next time, when making other singers' promotional posters, you can consider using this contrasting method to make them."

The little assistant was elated, and said: "Really?" It seemed that the wonderful idea he had contributed had been used.I didn't hear that Yanqiao Shinichi was teasing her at all.

With this level of innocence, I can probably only be an assistant...

However, complaining about her innocence is all about complaining. The assistant who followed Akina Nakamori was such a little girl, and Shinichi Iwahashi was also quite relieved for Akina Nakamori.Similarly, with the naivety of the little assistant, it is a good thing that the person following him is Akina Nakamori.

Thinking of this, Yanqiao Shen replied with a smile: "If it really works, I will give you a thank you gift."

As expected of Yanqiao-san, he is really generous!

The little assistant was beaming in his heart, but he didn't forget to say a few words of politeness, "If you can really use it, it will be something to be happy about." Thank you or something...

Yanqiao Shinichi laughed even harder - just amused by her reaction.

It was ridiculous, but his attitude was more serious than the previous joke, thinking of giving this little assistant a "thank you gift" later.For nothing else, the more he found out that this little assistant was really naive, the less he wanted to tease naive people.

Compared with the driver who has no emotion and the driver who has emotion, the little assistant Nakamori Akina really talks a lot.From the company to Jingqiao, the road conditions are not very smooth, and the topics in the car are one after another.

Yanqiao Shenyi has a kind and patient attitude, and can answer her on any topic, which is of course the reason why the assistant's chatterbox can't be stopped once it is opened.However, the reason why she talks a lot is also related to her curiosity about Shinichi Iwahashi.

Now, with such an opportunity to talk to him alone, Yanqiao-san is still very easy to talk to...

The little assistant got carried away, talked too much, and couldn't concentrate on reading the assistant manual silently, and regarded Yanqiao Shenyi as one of his own, so the topic followed one after another, talking happily, until the tongue was quick, and he mentioned, "Yanqiao-san used to Produced singers for Warner.”

Yanqiao Shenyi replied, "It's Morigaka Chiris-san."

At that time, I met Nakamori Akina in Warner's recording studio, and this little assistant followed her.The little assistant also thought of this matter, so he said it casually.But when I really said the words, I suddenly felt that I had slipped my words.

At the moment when I came back to my senses, I finally remembered that there is a job handbook for being an assistant...

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't delve into this topic, but instead asked, "Does Momoi-san have any favorite singers?"

The little assistant breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "I have many favorite singers, such as Misato Watanabe, Akira Yoshikawa, and of course, Akina-san. However, Miyuki Nakajima is my favorite."

"Like Miyuki Nakajima?" Shinichi Iwahashi was a little interested.There is no way, it is really because the name Nakajima Miyuki is too familiar and to some extent too special.

The little assistant nodded, while continuing to think in his heart that Yanqiao-san and Mingna-san had actually known each other before the first cooperation, and replied, "If you want to talk about comforting people, it really is Miyuki-san."

The little assistant who said so seemed to have more than just this naive side of chattering.

"I heard that Akina-san's team invited Miyuki-san to sing." The little assistant unconsciously turned the topic to Nakamori Akina.

Yanqiao Shinichi asked her, "At that time, you were not in charge of following Akina-san?"

"At that time, I was still studying in junior high school." The little assistant replied.

Yanqiao Shinichi said "Oh", "I see."

The little assistant was a little embarrassed, "It was after I started working with Ming Cai-san, and I heard what other staff members said." Inadvertently, he let go of the secret gossip.

It seems that he became Nakamori Akina's assistant right after joining the job.

The bigger the star, or the star who has entered a stable period, the less experienced the staff will be.On the contrary, newcomers who need someone to remind them at any time need to be followed by experienced staff.

When Shinichi Iwahashi first joined Watanabe Productions, he was sent to follow Akiko Matsumoto.On the one hand, Akiko Matsumoto had almost been given up at that time, and it was not worth investing too much.On the other hand, it also has something to do with Akiko Matsumoto being a very experienced old fritters.

Yanqiao Shinichi said lightly, "I only gradually got to know Akina-san after I got to know her."

Although it was not the same thing, but when he said that, the little assistant breathed a sigh of relief and exposed the accidental leak.The front lights start to flash.Before the end of this green light, it should be able to pass this intersection smoothly.

While keeping an eye on the road conditions, the little assistant said to Yanqiao Shinichi, "After joining the job, the person who followed me was Akina-san, so I'm lucky."

This is true.

In fact, she couldn't hold back the chatterbox and couldn't help talking to Yanqiao Shinichi.In addition to the kindness of Iwahashi Shinichi, she is full of curiosity about Iwahashi Shinichi, and it is also related to her goodwill towards the producer.

I don't believe that such a person is the "talented talent" that Daben-san said, but I prefer to believe that Ming Cai-san is happy.

If these two had dated earlier, earlier...

Passing through this intersection smoothly, the little assistant read the assistant manual silently in his heart, and while thinking, he kept the little discovery he had made in his heart, continued to guard Ming Cai-san's smile, and sent her sweetheart to her side.

Thinking of this, the little assistant suddenly felt that he was doing something extraordinary.

Although I just followed the order of my manager Sang, and went to Iwahashi Shinichi's company to pick him up for a date...

But isn't this just protecting Akina-san's smile?
……

Akina Nakamori worked until evening today, and after the work was over, Daben would send her to the appointment.She wanted to meet her sweetheart, and as soon as the filming ended, she escaped from the greetings and formalities, returned to the lounge, took off her makeup, packed her things, and set off.

After tidying up, she smiled and said to Da Ben, "It's all right, Da Ben."

Da Ben nodded, his heart still like water.

The office agreed, and Akina Nakamori looked as if he could fly over by himself with wings inserted. Of course, he, an old manager, had to cooperate, helping to book restaurants and sending people there...

Since he didn't even have anything to say about the office, it's not his turn to have any ideas.

Having said that, that Yanqiao-san is really amazing.

Not only is he a romantic and talented man, but he is also the president-san who is first-rate in his actions.
