Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 969 969. Half and half

Today, in the industry, the style of DREAMS COME TRUE is unique.Basically, if a song is written by a band, you can tell it when you listen to it.

A band with an overly strong style will discourage companies that invite songs.

In addition, Mihe-chan is an absolute inspiration player, who can only serve herself and cannot accommodate others.

Besides, the band is not short of popularity at the moment, the current focus is to take advantage of this opportunity with the most inspiration and the most popularity, to stabilize its position and secure the throne of the national band.

Therefore, rather than providing songs to other singers, it is better to concentrate good inspiration on yourself.After all, there is only one band that can sell a million singles and two million albums at the same time.For many considerations, the band only writes songs for themselves, not for other singers.

However, it's one thing not to contribute music to other artists, and quite another to write a soundtrack for a game.

The absolute center of the band is Mihe-chan, and the eyes of the public are also on her.But the more people in the industry, the more aware of the role of the two green leaves around her.The band became popular, so naturally Brother Nakamura also went up.

But on the one hand, it is limited by the rule that it will not provide songs for other singers alone, and on the other hand, Brother Nakamura has to hone his own arranger level, so he does not exclude the work of soundtrack.Of course, Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog", as an ambitious work, has indeed been given a lot by the other party.

Although it still looks like a prosperous economy, there are suspicions of drinking poison to quench thirst.But since the real estate as a symbol is still at an unshakable high level and the boom is still continuing, game companies that are at the peak of their careers are even more generous.

When he is not participating in band activities or gathering with Mihe-chan to make music, Brother Nakamura not only accepts game soundtracks, but also does private work on TV drama soundtracks.

As for the giraffe man, the real body under the hood is already the most eye-catching person in the industry.

There are three people in the band, and they get together when there is band work to do.When there is no work to be done together, each has its own career.A reasonable sharing model ensures that there will be no conflicts due to uneven income, and each has its own direction of effort to ensure that one of them will not lose his temper because of frustration, and the relationship between the bands will be stronger.

For now, DREAMS COME TRUE can be regarded as the strongest triangle relationship in the industry.

Nakamura's work outside of the band is full. When he is free, he drinks with his new musician friends at Toranomon until he doesn't get drunk. He is also humorous and has a pleasing appearance. He is very popular with the girls accompanying the wine Praise, the small days are quite moist.At this moment, the executive producer of the band made fun of him, and he couldn't help showing a slightly reserved smile and picked up the wine glass.

The three talked to each other and continued to discuss the arrangements for the band's next album.According to the band's usual production process, the theme is first decided, and then the song that will serve as the title song is selected.

The songs to be included in the album are about half and half of the already written inventory and the new creation after the theme is decided.At the same time as the topic selection meeting for the new album is held, it is necessary to negotiate sponsorship for the band and try to sell the songs in the album.

At that time, like the previous few times, composing music specially for advertisers will definitely happen.Rather, for creative bands, it is common to write homework and hand in homework.

The band's philosophy is that even with the bonus B-side song, it can't fool the audience at will, so if the B-side song is included in the single, the B-side song will also be included in the subsequent album.

However, to say it is the philosophy of the band, it is better to say it is the obsession of Mihe-chan.This little fox is also a perfectionist. Songs that she doesn't agree with are never allowed to be included in the album. In her opinion, every song is her own masterpiece.

...As a producer who needs to be rational, of course he knows this is not the case.

But even the songs recorded as B-side songs are of sufficient quality as album songs, there is no doubt about it.And that's why Shinichi Iwahashi didn't interfere with Miwa-chan's idea and agreed with this recording method.

If the two songs of the single can be heard on the album later, then if the title song of the single is not strong enough, it will easily affect the sales of the single-anyway, it can be heard once on the album later.

But in turn, this will boost album sales.

Single sales are good, not as good as album sales.Now that I have decided to adopt this mode of film release, in order to deal with the sales of singles that may be affected, I have to work hard in other areas accordingly.Singles and albums use different arrangements, and the inner pages of singles are carefully crafted. These are the basic operations.In addition, a karaoke accompaniment will be included in the single.

"Karaoke has become a big trend, and more and more songs are bought and bought because of their popularity in karaoke boxes," said Iwahashi Shinichi.

ZARD under him has always aimed to produce pop rock that can be sung in karaoke.The song can be sung happily in karaoke, and lead singer Sachiko Kamachi has gained support from a large number of young women through fashion magazines. This also makes ZARD have a wide range of female fans despite the fact that the lead singer is a beauty.

"So, we included the single's karaoke accompaniment with the single to encourage the public to go to karaoke to sing."

If it can become popular in karaoke, not only will the follow-up income of the song be considerable, but it will also have a more profound impact on the public.The opportunity for children of this generation to grow up and become singers may be that they were encouraged to sing "So Happy!" at family gatherings when they were young.so happy!Really like! ".

The topic about the band has come to an end, and more details will have to wait until the meeting.Of course, for DREAMS COME TRUE, how to find sponsors and how to arrange publicity has nothing to do with the music producer Shinichi Iwahashi.

That is something that Sony is going to negotiate with Watanabe Wanyumi, and then they will complete it together.

In the evening, he was slightly drunk after drinking three or two cups, and the excitement brought about by the big talk made the executive producer's mood very high, and he strongly invited Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura to have dinner together, and then have some entertainment after the meal.

Of course, the bill was all charged to Sony's entertainment expenses.When reimbursement is possible, the invitation is particularly strong.

……

For DREAMS COME TRUE's album theme tour this year, there are still four performances in Tokyo waiting to start.At this time, the new album topic selection meeting will be held first, and I will not be able to enter the recording studio for a while.

As for when the album will be released, after all, two original albums will not be released within a year.

All in all, it was first scheduled to release a winter single at the end of November.If there is no suitable song in the music library, create it again.From production to release, the time is not too plentiful.Therefore, after the band's tour is over, they only need to take a short rest before re-entering the production of songs.

That's the way it is in the prime of life, a busy year, especially with a band on tour.However, compared to an idol who sleeps two to three hours a day at his peak, being a singer is still easier and more comfortable.

Most importantly, as long as there are no scandals such as having an affair or admitting a female student as a daughter, or committing a crime that requires a visit, the paparazzi will not bother to talk to you.Unlike idols or wakashou actors, as long as there is any trouble, they will be followed 24 hours a day.

After experiencing the ups and downs of dating female stars, Iwahashi Shinichi has a particularly deep understanding of this.In fact, he himself didn't realize that since the public communication, he often thought of the relationship with Nakamori Akina, and the meaning hidden in it.It's just that many times, I think of her subconsciously.

As soon as the topic selection session was over, Nakamura-san and Miwa-chan were busy for the final tour, and Iwahashi Shinichi was even more busy with all kinds of things waiting for him to do.

In the new week, on Wednesday, I will be recording Itami Masataka's "Working Hard at Night".This program is relatively simple.The guests invited include singers and actors. Everyone sits together, sings karaoke, and chats, which is quite casual and relaxed.

On Friday, he will go to "MUSIC STATION" as Shinichi Iwahashi.However, although he didn't wear a headgear, he still went to be a green leaf for Akina Nakamori and sang the songs of the new album for the first time on TV.

And until Sunday night, the second episode of the previously recorded "Gallad BINBIN House" will also be broadcast as scheduled.At that time, there will also be a performance by Akina Nakamori.However, MS took advantage of the live broadcast and took the lead in booking the "premiere" of the new album.

Fortunately, the show about Yijian Zhengxiao will not be aired until two weeks later, so the audience won't see his face one after another within a week.

Yanqiao Shinichi doesn't have an agent—he used to be his own agent, so the two assistants around him have taken over most of the related work, helping to deal with various trivial matters of participating in the show.

The assistant only helped with trivial matters, such as what clothes to wear on the show, this task was snatched by Akina Nakamori.On Wednesday afternoon, before going to NTV to record a program together, the two of them sneaked out and went shopping.

Of course, he also followed Nakamori Akina's manager and Iwahashi Shinichi's assistant.

The promotion period for the new album started this week with great fanfare, and two days later, you can see the real thing in the record store.At this moment, the most conspicuous and valuable advertising spots in Tokyo were bought by Warner and Yanyin and dedicated to their Taopustar.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina walked side by side, occasionally raised their heads, and saw the radiant appearance of the people around them, attracting the attention of the public.But he lowered his head, and beside him was a lively, lovely, warm little woman.

This kind of wonderful contrast makes Yanqiao Shenyi feel interesting.However, he looks interesting, but for ordinary people passing by, once they find that the star on the poster is in front of them, the first reaction will never be "interesting".

"Mingcai sauce!"

The young woman who was recognized first ran over boldly and spoke to her cautiously.Being recognized, Akina Nakamori took her time and greeted her with a smile.

After the young fan greeted Nakamori Akina, he turned his attention to Iwahashi Shinichi next to her, showing an expression of "I know you", but bowed politely and cautiously, and whispered "Hello."

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't think much of this contrast, but Nakamori Akina next to him secretly laughed, thinking it was interesting.

Even though it was a weekday afternoon, it was still in a public place after all.Being recognized, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so as not to cause a commotion.The other party was also so self-conscious, and left quickly after saying hello.

As soon as the young female fan walked away, Akina Nakamori looked at Shinichi Iwahashi with a smile, and pulled down his sleeve, "Let's go~ let's go." This little pride that couldn't be concealed, I don't know what it is .

The small actions of the two fell into the eyes of the manager Oben who came with him, and Shinichi Iwahashi's assistant.

……

He said he was going out for shopping, but he didn't mean to just wander around, but he agreed to choose clothes for Iwahashi Shinichi to wear when he went to the live broadcast of "MUSIC STATION" on Friday.However, after all, he was the man in black behind the scenes, even if he came to the stage, it was absolutely impossible for him to dress fancy.

The king of soft rice, Iwahashi Shinichi, has received clothes or accessories from Akina Nakamori many times, but it is only a few times to go shopping with her like this.Therefore, even though people often say that shopping with his girlfriend is a hard job, for him now, it is also an interesting, hard and happy thing.

As a shopping expert, once you start shopping, you will gradually forget what your original purpose is, from "choosing clothes for Iwahashi Shinichi to wear on Friday" to "this dress is very suitable for the usual Iwahashi Shinichi".And now that I'm out with my boyfriend, the theme of shopping will inevitably change from buying for my boyfriend to "Is this one suitable for me?"

However, in this regard, Nakamori Akina is a very worry-free girlfriend who will not embarrass others.Anyway, if you think it’s not bad, you’ll buy it right away.Da Ben, who came with him, skillfully signed the bill, left the address, and asked the clerk to send it back.

Yanqiao Shinichi could not help but hold his breath when he saw her straightforward appearance.

Akina Nakamori raised her eyelids, saw him staring at her, and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Yanqiao Shin blinked, deliberately teasing her, "I feel like I saw the other side of Akina-san."

When these words came out of his mouth, Akina Nakamori wanted to laugh, and felt slightly embarrassed.Seriously, explain to him, "Isn't there a theme tour for the album after that? There are also costumes to be prepared for the promotional period..."

In short, I thought of work while shopping, so I bought it by the way.Not because she is a woman who is extravagant and spends a lot of money.

……do not worry.Thinking of this, Akina Nakamori smiled mischievously.

Now that the new album is released, similarly, the theme tour of the new album is also planned.Of course Shinichi Iwahashi clearly understood this.Even so, hearing the meaning behind her words, he couldn't help laughing.

He said, "Since it's shopping, let's put the work aside for a while."

Akina Nakamori said "Huh?"

Yanqiao Shinichi explained, "If there is something you like, let me give it to you, how about it?"
