When he returned to Yoyogi's recording studio with Akina Nakamori's CD, Masato Nakamura was a little surprised when he saw the CD in his hand, and asked, "Does Shinichi-kun like Akina-san's songs?"

"Luckily, this one looks quite appetizing. Iwahashi said casually.

Masato Nakamura nodded, "Akina-san's musical literacy is commendable, he has his own ideas for choosing songs and singing, and he is the kind of singer who has a strong personal color and is difficult for others to copy." ”

"I really want you to tell you this. Shinichi Iwahashi teased him.

Nakamura Masato smiled, "That's what I said, but before the marriage of the Holy Son-san, I was still a hardcore Holy Son faction. ”

"Don't be a man. "Iwahashi Shinichi has heard of the battle between the Seiko faction and the Akina faction.

In the past, there were competitors between Yamaguchi Momoe and Junko Sakurada, and then there was a fight between Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori, and fans competed with each other, and there were things like rolling up their sleeves and fighting.

The idol support culture originated from the rampant people, that is, the bad boys.

Therefore, before complaining about the second way of supporting, what cannot be ignored is that it is easy to develop into a bad teenager because his favorite idol is different, and he has a friendly wrestling with a place or something like that.

By the way, the idol who is famous for his many violent people among fans is Shizuka Kudo of the Kitten Club.

When she herself was in the kitten club, she was set up as a bad girl who did what she had always said, and there were even rumors that she herself had participated in the mob.

This kind of recklessness poked the iron man tenderness of the mobs, so that they raised the big stick in their hands - glow sticks, and supported Shizuka-chan with affection, so much so that there were also shows that a bunch of mobs among Shizuka Kudo's fans were playing with memes.

Hearing him sigh like this, Masato Nakamura couldn't help but protest, "Listening to the class doesn't look like a good thing." ”

"Nope. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi was serious, "I thought you loved foreign music wholeheartedly and had no interest in idol songs." ”

"Even if you like foreign music, after all, you want to make music. Masato Nakamura said, "Therefore, you can't detach yourself from the atmosphere of the music, so as not to lose the flavor of the music." ”

"That's the truth. Shinichi Iwahashi thinks so, too.

During the production of "Hard to Break the Boat", he and Akina Nakamori met once in the recording studio, and after that, Shinichi Iwahashi did not meet her once.

The single "Hard to Break the Boat" was an unexpectedly big hit after its release and became a topic of conversation nowadays, and Akina Nakamori's artistic sense in this song was also well received by the public.

If it does, Iwahashi Shinichi wants to congratulate her, but since she can't touch it, forget it.

......

The end of September is like this, and as soon as October begins, the climate becomes more refreshing and pleasant, especially when you go out in the morning, looking up at the sky, which is particularly refreshing.

In October, the recording of Chisato Moritaka's new single is complete, and the recorded audio track is sent to the mixing room for final production.

The single is scheduled to be released in late October, during which time Shinichi Iwahashi's frequented place has been changed from the recording studio in Shimbashi to the headquarters of Warner Pioneer, where he meets with Chisato Moritaka and the team members in charge of her.

Choose the most suitable one from the cover photos taken for her, and then make a singing costume - according to Iwahashi Shinichi's MINI skirt plan, the costumer tailors the so-called "youthful girlishness" MINI skirt for Chisato Moritaka.

Since they are going to make a big move, Warner Vanguard has allocated enough money to Chisato Moritaka for this single, at least better than the previous single.

Generousness can be either an increase in treatment after becoming popular, or a last resort, but no matter which kind of Sentaka Chisato is, since the money is still in place, he has also designed several sets of clothes for her, planning to show her youthful and beautiful beauty in many ways when she is singing on TV.

After the decision is made, the printing plant, printing factory, and distribution network on the Warner Pioneer side must start preparing in advance, and decide the number of the first batch of shipments and the proportion of CDs, tapes, and LPs according to the feedback orders.

That being said, a newcomer like this who is not popular will print a few thousand copies at a time, not more than 10,000 copies, and then replenish the stock according to the situation. The current record market is sluggish, and few companies dare to print big, except for big-name films.

In addition to the MINI skirt plan, Shinichi Iwahashi also proposed to seriously shoot a MV for Chisato Moritaka.

When the previous single was released, a MV was also filmed, but it was a symbolic studio to shoot a singing scene with no set, and the powerful Mori Taka Chisato was wearing overalls, and behind him were cool musicians, and the willful Mori Taka Chisato didn't even paint his makeup well, just put on some foundation.

In this way, it can be seen that it is a beauty embryo, which shows how reliable this soft power is.

This time, according to Iwahashi Shinichi's intention, he asked a director with a little experience to seriously shoot a music video with at least a picture, and then broadcast it on TV as a promotion.

MV was born very early, as early as the time of the Beatles, four bugs made a refreshing and sunny MV for the chart-hit single "RAIN", which was broadcast on TV all over the world as a substitute for not being on TV.

Later, Michael Jackson took this kind of thing to the next level.

That said, in these days, I still don't pay much attention to MV, because it's basically used for TV promotion, and now it's the most dense era of this sound, and I can't see it on the spot, and the MV is nothing new, and there's no market.

Besides, now it's not like later, the CD+DVD configuration is basic when the record is released, especially after the arrival of the Internet era, the promotional role of MV is even more reflected, so MV is generally just a simple shot. It's a bit special to spend a lot of effort like him, or to use it on a newcomer.

Speaking of which, this year we have created something called CD-V (not VCD), which is a CD record with a golden surface, with an inner ring for storing music and an outer ring for about five minutes of video, which can be listened to as a regular CD and viewed as an image.

However, this kind of thing has to be played with a DVD player, plus there is little information, so, although it came out, it is difficult to promote, and it is a kind of thing in Iwahashi Shinichi's opinion, how to look at it, how to feel chicken.

As for the evidence, it is that the CD-V thing has not been found in this format in later generations.

Shinichi Iwahashi thought that making a music video that could show the beauty and vitality of Chisato Moritaka could also be part of the publicity, so he insisted on putting more effort into it.

He is a producer, and he still has more right to speak, although he is on the territory of Warner Vanguard, the other side still listens to his opinions carefully. Besides, it doesn't cost too much money to find an unknown director to shoot a MV, so I haven't been arguing about this matter for too long.
