Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 990
The animation of "Chibi Maruko-chan" has been a huge success and has received wide support from all ages.Red and White Uta will prepare a special program for BBQQUEENS, and has obtained a license to use the animation, with the idea of ​​hitting high ratings.

Today, the traditional big family model almost no longer exists, only the so-called "nuclear family" of two couples plus children, and more and more men and women living alone.

Lost the soil where a large family sat around a low table watching the same program, and family-style programs gradually lost their audience, replaced by programs and music produced by the industry to cater to audiences of different ages and levels .

The more the industry caters to the audience, the greater the difference in taste between audiences of different ages, and the fewer and fewer works that are suitable for all ages and are widely supported by all walks of life.

This point is more obvious after entering the rapid bubble era.The difference in choices between the younger generation and the older generation is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting harder and harder to produce national-level things.This can also explain why the former ace music programs have come to a step where they have to end.Not only that, the more national-level programs have been achieved, the harder it is to survive now.

In this context, "Chibi Maruko" is very valuable as an animation that is suitable for all ages and attracted by it.Moving it to the stage of the Hongbai Song Festival, it can be predicted that the ratings will definitely increase at that time.

Because of this, the Red and White Song Club has to make a special session of "Chibi Maruko-chan" with great fanfare, and discuss with the singers of the red and white groups, and when the time comes, they will go on stage and dance together——

That is, this strange hand dance that is being practiced in advance.

The vast majority of singers probably don't deliberately practice this in advance.Anyway, what is important is the atmosphere of the family carnival, not whether the singers who accompany the dancers move standardly.If I really want to say, maybe only this Nakamori Akina is pulling him to practice in advance.

Yanqiao Shinichi felt that she didn't look like a teacher who was serious about teaching but hated iron and steel, but like a serious student.Even the things that even the teacher didn't take to heart, but just mentioned casually, were carefully written down by her.

However, listening to her childishly saying "KIRIN-kun kawaii~", imagining this, it seems that it has become something that can be contagious.He was guided by Akina Nakamori, and his heart softened accordingly.

Suddenly, I remembered a past event, and casually mentioned it to her, "I used to receive fan letters from children."

Nakamori Akina was immediately attracted, and asked with interest: "Is it for KIRIN-kun?"

Yanqiao Shen nodded, and recalled the contents of the letter, "It is said that he is in the band, and the giraffe boy is his favorite." When he said this, he couldn't help smiling, "I also drew a bunch of cartoon giraffes on the letter paper."

"That's great." Akina Nakamori listened intently.Because I have experienced the child's innocent and pure emotions, as if I don't want to destroy this innocence, I just responded to him with simple sentences.

Yanqiao Shenyi agreed, "Received such a letter, it makes people happy." He thought for a while, "I put the letter away and put it at home. Next time I go to my place, I will show it to you." ,How about it?"

Akina Nakamori said seriously, "Is it okay? It's a letter to 'Giraffe-kun'."

"Actually, it was Meihe-chan who read the letter and handed it to me." Yanqiao Shinichi explained.Therefore, probably even the staff members knew that there was such a letter at the time.

He explained it seriously, as if it was a big deal.

Nakamori Akina glanced at him, and it was rare for him to dislike his serious look. ...What are you explaining so clearly?
After thinking about it, she suddenly fell back and hit his chest with her head.I don't know if Yanqiao Shinichi reacted to the blow, but she herself was dizzy first.

When people are stupid, they make people laugh.

Yanqiao Shinichi was laughing, while reaching out to hold her shoulder, "Why did you do it all of a sudden?"

Akina Nakamori said stiffly, "Because she is a rough woman."

Yanqiao Shenyi laughed even harder, "It's unreasonable to add one more thing." When he lowered his head, he saw her puffed up one cheek, showing an expression of disbelief, and quickly put his lips on the puffed up cheek.

Nakamori Akina smiled and laughed, and she couldn't help feeling that she was a fool, remembering that every time she came out, she would make such jokes every now and then.She spoke again and asked, "Shen Yi must have written a reply to that little fan, right?"

She didn't need Iwahashi Shinichi to say the answer, she made sure in her heart that if it was Iwahashi Shinichi, she would definitely write a reply to that child.This unthinking confidence made Akina Nakamori feel that she and Shinichi Iwahashi were close together.

This Akina Nakamori gave his own answer first, and then lamely added a question mark.

However, Yanqiao Shinichi felt the trust from her.He smiled, "Speaking of which, it's also thanks to you. Because the kid drew so many cartoon giraffes, as a reward, I put an origami giraffe in my reply."

It was not Akina Nakamori who taught him how to fold a giraffe.

This reply was not only written by Iwahashi Shinichi to the child, but also by Nakamori Akina who invisibly participated in it.That being the case, "No one should read that letter more than you."

There was a thoughtfulness in Yanqiao Shinichi's words.

After hearing what he said, Akina Nakamori didn't answer, but stretched out her hand, took his hand, fiddled with it, and hummed with a smile while reviewing the hand dance movements, "Crackling crackling crackling ~ Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang~! "

It's okay to change the words yourself.

Although he didn't say it, this appearance seems to be asking for credit and praise from Yanqiao Shinichi-it's not meaningless to praise her for pulling him to practice "Let's Dance Together" at home.

There is really a giraffe boy who is the favorite band of children, and he can really say "Kirin-kun kawaii~".

While laughing at her childishness, Yanqiao Shinichi experienced this real hand-in-hand teaching.Infected by her, I couldn't help but feel that even if it was just for that one child, he, the giraffe man, would seriously do this weird hand dance.

……

Red and white song meeting, DREAMS COME TRUE is of course all three people dispatched.Apart from not participating in the annual theme tour, Giraffe Man has no special restrictions on TV appearances.

Therefore, he not only appeared at the Red and White Song Concert, but also acted together in the first TV promotion after the release of the band's new single.

In December, DREAMS COME TRUE released a new single "Snow Christmas".Just by looking at the title of the song, you can tell that it is aimed at the Christmas file, closely related to the Christmas song prepared for Christmas.

As soon as December enters, the atmosphere of Christmas will be covered like dyeing.It's a light layer at first, and the color gets darker every day it gets closer to Christmas Eve.

The Japanese celebrate Christmas Eve very grandly, and of course the recording industry also regards Christmas songs as a business opportunity.Just like singing cherry blossoms and graduation in spring, and singing the sea in summer, songs released in due time can always reap doubled results.

The new single will be released as soon as December enters, but it is already ten days before Christmas when it is officially featured on the TV show.Prior to this, the single was only promoted through TV commercials, radio on-demand, and outdoor publicity, and there was no live performance.

Even so, in the week of release, it still won the weekly chart in one fell swoop, and sold more than 25 copies.Moreover, in this Christmas month, as a Christmas song, it has been used by various businesses and played in stores.

Not appearing on TV to promote it will not prevent the album from selling well.To some extent, it can be regarded as the embodiment of DERAMS COME TRUE's "red and bold".

Of course, the delay in playing songs on TV is also part of the publicity strategy.

Christmas songs are the embellishment of the atmosphere on Christmas Eve.From this point of view, the protagonist is the song, not the singer himself.It is for this reason that the band is intentionally hidden from publicity and does not carry out TV performance promotion. Instead, it uses radio, TV commercials and other publicity channels to let the song soak into the hearts of the audience and give it the meaning of "Christmas song".

When the day is near, it will be used as a song by the singer for TV promotion.

DREAMS COME TRUE is now the front-line figure of the band, the most popular one in this band era.For such a band, if they post anything casually, it will trigger panic buying.This is also an important reason why the band can afford this promotion method.

……

In the TV lounge, it was not yet the official recording time, and there were no outsiders in the room. The giraffe headgear was placed on the dressing table, and Shinichi Iwahashi, together with Brother Nakamura, was being dragged by Miwachan to conduct a special study together.

...Learning the weird hand dance from "Let's Dance Together".

First, Akina Nakamori taught him this hand dance by hand, and then Meihejiang took her two Zeng Yi seriously to study together. Yanqiao Shenyi felt helpless and amused at the same time.

Among the singers who will appear on the red and white songs, there are probably very few who will study in advance especially for the part of the backup dance, but Shinichi Iwahashi can meet two at the same time.

Yanqiao Shinichi thought in his heart that Brother Nakamura lacked interest, so he discussed with Miwa-chan, "Even if you don't practice this, it doesn't matter."

Meihejiang blinked, neither saying yes nor no.But this appearance, with "What are you talking about?" written all over his face, made Brother Nakamura feel powerless.

Being led by the nose by a little fox carrying a gun by a mouse is the daily life of Zeng Yi and his colleagues.

Yanqiao Shen had been trained by the stage expert Nakamori Akina early in the morning, and he was familiar with this weird dance.Meihejiang pulled him to make gestures a few times, then stopped suddenly, staring at his face again and again.

"What are you doing?" Yanqiao Shinichi asked.

Meihejiang moved her face closer, as if trying to see through something, teasingly said, "Shen Yi-kun is pretty good at it."

Yanqiao Shinichi readily accepted the compliment, "After all, he is a master dancer, so he knows everything."

"So thick-skinned." Meihejiang blurted out.She stared at Iwahashi Shinichi's face, pretending, "It's a big problem to see your true heart through Shinichi-kun's thick skin."

Yanqiao Shinichi couldn't help but said to her, "Are you trying to quarrel?"

"How could it be?" Meihejiang said without thinking, "How could I possibly quarrel with such a thick-skinned person."

Yanqiao Shen wanted to quarrel a little at first, so he turned his head away, avoiding the face of this little fox who is used to finding fault.As a result, she heard a soft "tss" in her ear, with a strange and boring tone.

Here, the two of them are talking about frying soybeans, and over there, Brother Nakamura heaves a sigh of relief, glad to get rid of this inexplicable dance class.Take this opportunity and head out from the break room to get a coffee.

Before going out, he asked two teammates, "Do you want me to help bring something?"

Yanqiao Shinichi replied, "Thank you for Suntory's oolong tea."

Meihechan glanced at him, not to be outdone, raised one hand, as if answering a question, and raised her voice, "Itoen's oolong tea, Masato-san, please!"

"Suntory, Itoen..." Brother Nakamura suppressed a smile, nodded, and went out.

Brother Nakamura left, only Shinichi Iwahashi, Miwa-chan, and the manager who came with the band were left in the lounge, sitting at the door, ready to deal with any visitors who might come to visit.

Looking at it like this, just now Miwa-chan pulled Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura brother to learn hand dance, as if it was a whim.

But maybe on the contrary, it was a sudden decision that the hand dance practice class was over.

Yanqiao Shinichi read Bunku novels to pass the time, Mihe-chan rested her chin on one hand, stared blankly for a while, glanced at him, and ran to his side like a bored brat.She had long forgotten about the matter of finding fault and arguing just now.

She probed her head, Yanqiao Shenyi ignored her, she was not annoyed, she played with herself and hummed softly.

Yanqiao Shenyi listened to her intentionally humming out of tune, it seemed that she hummed randomly on a whim.

However, the inspiration of Meihejiang is often when humming in such a mess, a paragraph worth recording suddenly comes out.As her teammate, she is actually very familiar with these messy tunes.

Humming and humming, Meihechan suddenly hummed a short section of Tatsuro Yamashita's "Christmas Eve". After this section, it stopped.

"Speaking of Japanese Christmas songs," she commented in a normal tone, "this is the one."

Yanqiao Shinichi smiled, and casually hummed the band's new single "Snow Christmas", "Speaking of Japanese Christmas songs, there is also this one by DREAMS COME TRUE."

Hearing what he said, Meihejiang continued quite seriously, "Shenyi-kun obviously doesn't have the talent to sing."

"..." Yanqiao Shinichi was speechless.

But on the other hand, Miwa-chan's focus is on his inability to sing, not on his comparison of the band's new single to Tatsuro Yamashita's immortal hit.

Mihe-chan is so confident in her own music.

She complained about Shinichi Iwahashi, and then hummed the sentence that Shinichi Iwahashi hummed just now, "Looking at the glistening snowflakes falling silently on the gloves, the park in front of me is slowly turning into a small snowfield .”

Meihejiang seemed to be aroused by the song addiction, hummed this sentence, and then hummed again.She enjoys herself.While humming, he went to harass Iwahashi Shinichi again.

"Last year on Christmas Eve, didn't the greedy Shinichi-kun say that he would return three presents to you this year?"

Yanqiao Shinichi was not very happy, "Can you not say 'greedy'?"

She was eloquent, as if she was just waiting for this sentence, and quickly replied: "How can a person who asks for three gifts not be greedy?"
