516. in the first place
When it was almost time to leave, Sachiko Kamaike looked at her watch, "It looks like it's almost time to go." ”
Obviously she is a singer, but the concept of time is so strong that it seems that she is the staff in charge of the singer.
Haruko Akamatsu kept an eye on the time, and when she heard her, she answered, "Yes." "I put down the library I was looking at.
The group came on a business trip, and the two girls were arranged in the same room.
The two of them had already fallen in love, and Haruko Akamatsu was sent by Shinichi Iwahashi to be in charge of Sachiko Kamaike, so she became more familiar now.
After getting acquainted with it, Sachiko Kamaike is more lively and cheerful than the shy and quiet one in the first impression, but Haruko Akamatsu is still the same as before.
Although the person in charge of Sachiko Kamaike's work is Haruko Akamatsu, however, in terms of getting along in private, it seems that she always follows Sachiko Kamaike's pace and accepts Sachiko Kamaike's initiative.
That said, this kind of following is not an unassertive obedience.
Sachiko Kamachi quietly felt in her heart that it was not so much Haruko Akamatsu following her rhythm as she had the tacit approval of Haruko Akamatsu. Whether to follow or not, the initiative is actually in the hands of Haruko Akamatsu.
When getting along with Haruko Akamatsu, Sachiko Kamachi occasionally has a little strange association, and feels that Haruko Akamatsu looks a little like Shinichi Iwahashi.
Sachiko Kamaike and Shinichi Iwahashi don't see each other very often, but, in her impression, Shinichi Iwahashi is such a person who seems to be very talkative, but in fact, he has a set of people in his heart, always holding the rhythm in his hands quietly, and if he is not careful, he will be brought into the "trap" he has set.
Isn't this the so-called employee-like boss?
However, after the LIVEHOUSE performance, Haruko Akamatsu was in charge of making a post-performance summary, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses and giving her own opinions. This set of well-organized processes, according to her, was taught by Iwahashi Shinichi.
Haruko Akamatsu's path as an agent was completely inspired by Shinichi Iwahashi.
Tatsuya Hirakawa, the leader of the band, joked that Haruko Akamatsu was the "big disciple" of Iwahashi-san.
Sachiko Kamaike found this statement apt and interesting.
"Iwahashi-san is going to see tonight's show, right?"
Thinking of Shinichi Iwahashi, Sachiko Kamaike couldn't help but ask.
Haruko Akamatsu replied "yes", thought about it, judged by her understanding of the relationship between her boss and her boss's former boss, and said more: "Watanabe-san will probably go too." ”
"I'm starting to get a little nervous now. ”
Sachiko Kamaike took a deep breath, feeling a little urgent to wait for Shinichi Iwahashi to review.
She respects Shinichi Iwahashi very much, who gave her this opportunity, obviously there is only a year difference between the two of them, and facing him is still like facing the teacher.
Haruko Akamatsu saw Sachiko's small movements, smiled lightly, and encouraged, "Cheer up, Sachiko." ”
At this time, the staff of the same company came to call them.
......
Sachiko Kamaike is nervous about tonight's performance, but she is not nervous about the next visit.
On this kind of occasion, there is a boss to lead, and there is no need for the singer to express himself, as long as he is introduced to the producer, he can say hello honestly.
The process of visiting the TV station is relatively fixed, and the four of ZARD have also met many advertisers and the heads of TV stations in the Tokyo area, and they are already familiar with the process of bowing and reporting their names when they see people.
After meeting with Igarashi producers, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe greeted him, introduced the band to him, and then presented the band's debut single.
When the single was suppressed, there were regular discs that were sold in the market, rental discs for record rental stores, and promotional discs for producers when they were being sold.
Now for the producer of Igarashi, it is a promotional plate, which is not for sale.
Igarashi was in his forties, short in stature, and had a shriveled face that looked like it had been yellowed by cigarettes. He looks a little sorry, but he's a pretty talkative person with a good personality.
His first impression of Sachiko Kamaike, the lead singer of the band, was quite good, and when she finished greeting her, she straightened up and praised: "The lead singer San-san is really refreshing." ”
The word refreshing is quite accurate.
was praised by the producer of Igarashi, Sachiko Kamaike showed a reserved expression.
Sachiko Kamaike has the advantage of not making people think that she is posturing when she shows any emotions, but believes that she is.
This trait is actually very likable and makes people feel her sincerity.
Maybe you didn't look at her differently when you first met, but even so, it will make a good first impression. Sachiko Kamaike is such a girl.
The Igarashi producer looked at the record he received, "Is it a rock band?"
"It's POPROCK. The person who answered was Shinichi Iwahashi, "It's the kind of rock music that can be sung in karaoke." ”
"I see. Producer Igarashi nodded.
The members of the band sat in a row next to him, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe consulted with Igarashi producers. The members of the band can safely install wooden stakes, but Sachiko Kamaike still has to cheer up.
As the lead singer, whether you want to or not, you have to take on the responsibility of the team's spokesperson many times.
However, the first impression of Sachiko Kamaike by the producers of Igarashi was good, which was a good start.
Although Masaki Yoshida had communicated with him in advance, Watanabe Production's son-in-law greeted him in advance, and among the people who came to visit, there was also a second lady who was Watanabe's producer. Watanabe Productions was dispatched, and the Buddha face was not seen by the monk, and it was promoted on Kansai TV, and the opportunity to appear on TV was definitely given.
However, what kind of opportunity is given, whether it can't save face or whether it really thinks that the band is worth promoting, before that, you have to see how the band is level and how it feels to him.
The Igarashi producer went to uncover the record, and Shin Iwahashi took out the portable CD player and headphones that he had prepared.
This time, the band's debut single was in 8CM format.
Last year, this new type of record, developed by Sony, was put into service.
It is characterized by a large circle of size compared to the traditional 12CM record, and the CD case has also been "slimmed", changing from a square to a slim rectangle.
In the same year as its launch, the band Men's Douhu Group launched by Janis used this novelty in the release of their debut single. Riding on the popularity of idols, their debut single was a big hit last year.
And with the big sales of the debut single of the male douhu group, the charm and broad prospects of this new record have also been shown to the public and the record industry.
