Chapter 225
"I'm relieved to hear Hayama-san and Kitahara-san say that." Akiyama Kazuki joked with a smile.

I have also been with them for a year, especially because of the recording, I have spent more time working together.

So Kazuki Akiyama talked to them very casually, and they also took it easy, and joked with him with a smile.

At this time, Hayakawa Yuki came over with a few glasses of water, and the grapefruit honey water was for Kazuki Akiyama.

As long as it is a recording, in order to protect his voice, even if Akiyama Kazuki doesn't like it very much, Hayakawa Yuki will prepare a glass of honey water for him.

As for Takeshi Hayama and the others, they were basically coffee or black tea. Kazuki Akiyama glanced at the black tea that was taken away with some nostalgia, pinched his nose and drank the grapefruit honey water in his hand.

Seeing his reluctant expression just now, several people in the recording studio couldn't help laughing, and everyone knew about his eating habits.

In fact, Kazuki Akiyama was quite used to this taste at the beginning, but after a long time, no matter how delicious the food is, there will be a day when he gets tired of eating it.

When will I get some other things to protect my throat? I don’t know if my hometown on the other side of the sea has any outlets for these things.

The 5000-year history has not only left behind a brilliant civilization, but also various medical remedies.

I don't think it will disappoint in terms of throat protection.

While Kazuki Akiyama was spreading his thoughts, Ishida Takumi looked at the door, saw him resting and walked in.

Then what made Akiyama Kazuki angry was that the dog-licking dog first went to Hayakawa Yuki to say hello, and finally came to him Shi Shiran.

"Thank you, Kazuki-kun." As if noticing Akiyama Kazuki's distressed eyes, Ishida Takumi greeted him embarrassingly.

"Perfunctory" Akiyama Kazuki directly gave him a big white eye.

"Cough, there is business." Ishida Takumi was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Kazuki Akiyama's eyes accusing him of favoring sex and despising friends.

Forget it, this guy finally found his sweetheart, so I don't make fun of him anymore.

"What's the matter, come here so late." Kazuki Akiyama sat up, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and he would not come to him so late even if he had something to do.

"Just now, when I was talking with people from the Music Association, I happened to meet people from Toyota." Ishida Takumi looked a little excited.

"Huh?" Kazuki Akiyama didn't understand, what kind of people from Toyota.But it's no wonder that as soon as he sat close, he smelled a smell of wine.

Good guy, it turned out that Roppongi just came back from being cool outside.

"Toyota Motors, they want to find Mr. Kazuki to endorse a new model of theirs that will be launched next year, even including advertising CM."

Ishida Takumi was originally talking with the Music Association tonight about the copyright management of several pieces of pure music under Kazuki Akiyama's name.

This time, it was the Music Association who took the initiative to come to the door. Because of Kazuki Akiyama's popularity, his few pure music pieces were gradually discovered by the public.

And it has gradually become popular, as can be seen from the fact that more and more TV series and cartoons use them as background music.

And the more you use it, the more royalties you earn.It's just that there were too few such songs and they were not widely disseminated.

Therefore, neither Kazuki Akiyama nor the Music Association paid much attention to it, and Kazuki Akiyama did not entrust the management of the copyright to the Music Association, and his own office has always been coordinating and managing it.

But now that there is a popular trend, it is different. The music association is naturally anxious when they see that they can't get a dime of the royalties generated by on-demand.

That's why I took the initiative to visit this time. The purpose is to win the copyright management of the pure music under Kazuki Akiyama's name, not only these few songs but also those created in the future.

Of course, he doesn't need to personally come forward for these matters, and now Ishida Takumi and Watanabe Yoshitaka are taking care of them.

"Toyota? Which model is it?" Kazuki Akiyama became interested when he heard that they were looking for him to speak for him.

Speaking of which, the first car I bought was a Toyota Crown series, and the business car of the office was also a Toyota.

"It is a new model that has just been launched in recent years - the Lexus LS series. They are planning to update it next year and launch a second-generation new model.

And they also heard that Kazuki-kun's current car is Toyota, and the latest technology used in the new model is also related to music.

So I specifically want to find Mr. Kazuki to talk about cooperation in this area. "

It has been nearly five or six years since Toyota launched the first-generation Lexus LS series, and it happens to be time for a model update.

The new generation of LS is also the world's first model equipped with a front-mounted multi-disc CD multimedia system, which is outstanding in technology configuration.

The so-called front multi-disc CD multimedia system is the audio source playback system on the car, which can place 6-12 CDs at a time.

Then through the center console, you can choose the turntable and track arbitrarily.

Lexus LS is a new luxury model launched by Toyota in recent years. It is young and unique in CD technology configuration.

This is very consistent with Kazuki Akiyama's temperament experience. In addition, his popularity has been rising this year, and he seems to prefer Toyota cars.

In the eyes of Toyota Motor, he is almost the first person to adapt to this model.

"What time?" Rubbing his chin a few times, Akiyama Kazuki asked the meeting time.

"Toyota is available anytime, my advice is the sooner the better.

Because there are many people staring at such an advertisement endorsement, it is not only a profit for the artist, but also a symbol of status. "

Ishida Takumi often deals with advertisers, so he naturally knows which brands are more sought after by artists.

For example, Toyota is almost a household name in Japan.Being able to endorse its products, let alone how lucrative the income is, just the reputation of the country will increase a bit.

And compared to food or clothing, cars undoubtedly highlight a person's identity, and the same is true for endorsement artists.

For example, one endorses Jinkela, and the other endorses Daben.The endorsement fee is the same, you let Jay Zhou choose, who do you think he will choose?

Therefore, for companies like Toyota, there are many people who want to speak for them.

"Okay, let's arrange it as soon as possible." Kazuki Akiyama also felt that such a choice was good.

And when it comes to the matching advertising CM, he also has an idea in his heart.

Isn't the title of his own album quite appropriate, The End of the World.Driving in the endless wilderness chasing the horizon.

Isn’t such a lens very suitable as an advertising promotional film, plus the sea of ​​flowers from Hasegawa Gen’s family in Hokkaido, killing three birds with one stone, that’s it.

In fact, even if Kazuki Akiyama did not have the idea of ​​matching Toyota's commercials, Nagato Taiyuki would bring TIE-UP for him to promote.

But who would think too many resources, and a song does not mean that there can only be one TIE-UP, the more the better for publicity.

What's more, since this is an album, there are many songs to choose from, and it won't be a waste to spend more resources on promotion.

Kazuki Akiyama couldn't help praising his cleverness, but the timing was so coincidental, wouldn't he be the chosen one?

PS: Lexus was launched in Japan relatively late, the author changed the time here, no wonder
