In the evening, Haruko Akamatsu waited at the agreed place, and Watanabe Manyumi picked her up to go to the TV station with her.

What kind of boss has what kind of employees, and in the matter of rubbing Watanabe Manyumi's car, Haruko Akamatsu is also very good.

Of course, it's actually because Watanabe Manyumi is more on the way.

"Excuse me. Haruko Akamatsu got into the car and thanked Watanabe Manyumi.

Watanabe Manyumi replied, "It's okay," turned around in front of her, and headed in the direction of TV Asahi.

On the way, Watanabe asked her, "Haruko, what are your former band mates doing now?"

Haruko Akamatsu didn't expect Watanabe Manyumi to ask about the ABNORMAL members, and she was a little surprised, but she quickly replied: "Hirakawa-san has been helping out in the recording studio recently, and both Kawazoe-san and Koyanagi-san still have tour contracts. ”

Watanabe Manyumi nodded slightly, digesting Haruko Akamatsu's words.

She didn't say anything more, and Haruko Akamatsu couldn't guess what the reason for Watanabe Manyumi suddenly asked about it, let alone ask herself, so she only guessed in her heart that maybe Shinichi Iwahashi had said something to her.

Previously, Shinichi Iwahashi told Watanabe that he was going to "take the initiative", and let her guess that he was going to make a band and sell it himself.

NOW, GENZO HAS TWO BANDS AT HAND, ONE IS BOLAN AFTER JOINING THE REORGANIZATION OF THE GOMI TAKAJI, AND THE OTHER IS ABNORMAL, WHICH IS IN A STATE OF HIATUS BECAUSE HARUKO AKAMATSU WANTS TO RETREAT INTO THE BACKGROUND.

The three members of BOLAN, especially the lead singer Moritomo Ranshi, are determined to participate in more LIVEHOUSE performances to hone themselves, so the band will not turn to the ground for a while, and besides, after Iwahashi Shinichi talked about it, he took the initiative to ask about the audition.

Because of this, Watanabe Manyumi guessed that he planned to personally choose a new lead singer for ABNORMAL, and not only that, but the goal was also the female lead.

From the time of the production of the women's rock festival, Shinichi Iwahashi has attached great importance to the composition of bands with women as the protagonists, and Watanabe Manyumi knows it.

Guessing this, she took the initiative to invite Shinichi Iwahashi to participate in the final interview.

It would be great if this lead singer could be selected in this audition, and Watanabe Manyumi thought that it would be a win-win situation if he could do his part, considering the partnership with Shinichi Iwahashi.

Haruko Akamatsu made up her mind to go behind the scenes, and Shinichi Iwahashi had previously said that she would find a replacement lead singer by herself, but she made no progress.

This time, Iwahashi Shinichi decided to make a move on his own, and Watanabe Manyumi thought of the quality that Haruko Akamatsu showed during the time she was the representative of GENZO, as well as the affirmation of Haruko Akamatsu that Shinichi Iwahashi secretly revealed, and felt that maybe she would help build a staircase for Haruko Akamatsu at Shinichi Iwahashi.

Coming to TV Asahi, Watanabe Manyumi parked her car in the guest parking lot.

After getting out of the car, the two walked to the elevator one after the other and went to the lounge. Seeing each other every week, the delegates have become accustomed to the pairing of these two beauties.

On such an occasion, Watanabe Manyumi was able to communicate and chat with the delegates with ease, and Haruko Akamatsu was mostly just silent, sitting upright next to Watanabe Manyumi, as an observer.

Everyone present knew that the backbone of GENZO was only Iwahashi Shinichi, so although he took care of Haruko Akamatsu, he also knew that although these two beauties were partners, it was worth talking about the president of U-MIC, the second lady of the Watanabe family, and Manyumi Watanabe, who produced this band Heaven.

Turning behind the scenes, the world she entered was extremely harsh for women with no background, and the current Haruko Akamatsu was, in the eyes of others, a substitute for Shinichi Iwahashi, a follower of Manyumi Watanabe, and a vase of the band Heaven.

Compared to standing on the stage and singing before, it can be said that the HARD mode is turned on.

Unless you can come up with a decent work, you don't want to get recognition and respect from the industry.

Haruko Akamatsu knew that Shinichi Iwahashi asked her to find a lead singer by herself, as if she was asking her for this "work" that could prove herself.

With Watanabe Manyumi here, following her with ease, Haruko Akamatsu also felt relaxed. While relaxing, I suddenly remembered Sachiko Kamaike, whom I met at yesterday's sorority.

Probably because when she shared that feeling of being unsociable with Sachiko Kamaike, it also made her feel relaxed.

Although, following Watanabe Manyumi as a foil on such an occasion and having a wonderful heart-to-heart connection with Sachiko Kamaike at a sorority because he is not good at dealing with friendship are two completely different things.

Thinking about it today, Haruko Akamatsu was still impressed by Sachiko Kamaike's voice.

Such a girl who can sing, but she chose to be a model, is Kamaike-san's goal to become that kind of comprehensive artist?

But when I think about it in my heart, I still think that Sachiko Kamaike's voice is very good.

At this time, the staff came over and asked them to go to the studio and take their places.

Haruko Akamatsu followed Watanabe Manyumi to get up, and the two beauties walked to the studio in a special conspicuous state in the representative lineup composed of green and black.

"That's right. ”

Watanabe Manyumi remembered something, paused slightly, waited for Haruko Akamatsu to follow, tilted her head, and said to her, "Tonight, Glico's advertisements have begun to be broadcast." ”

"Really?" Haruko Akamatsu reacted, which was naturally something she couldn't know.

Watanabe didn't mean to get a response, just to talk to her about it.

Immediately, the two entered the studio and sat down in their own places.

......

On this night, Miwa Yoshida sat in front of the TV and watched this episode of the band Heaven as a spectator.

Today, I had a work with the band, and after I finished it, before we went back to our homes, Masato Nakamura first mentioned that Glico's commercials had begun to be broadcast on TV.

In such a matter, Masato Nakamura should be more concerned and valued.

Even if he didn't mention it, Miwa Yoshida was thinking about it in his heart, thinking of seeing with his own eyes that the advertisement with his song was broadcast on TV.

And when Masato Nakamura mentioned it, he not only let Miwa Yoshida know that he remembered, but also knew that Shinichi Iwahashi also remembered.

The three people who have gone all the way from Weimo to the present, and finally have improved, have a tacit understanding in this matter that goes without saying.

When she got home, Miwa Yoshida looked at the time and changed the TV to TV Asahi on time. Usually, as an ordinary viewer, I will feel annoyed by the advertisement when I see the fun place, but I didn't expect that there will be a day when the advertisement will be broadcast.

Miwa Yoshida laughed alone when she thought of this.

The actor who was chosen by Greco to shoot this ad was Rie Miyazawa, who debuted as a model at the age of 11 and has long been favored by advertisers, and last year her fame soared with an ad shot for Mitsui Fudosan Fudos.

Now that he is just fifteen years old, he is already a familiar face on TV and the darling of advertisers.

This kind of life is like pressing the accelerator button.

The familiar program process, Miwa Yoshida watched it with relish, and the difference from usual is that when I watched this show before, I liked to watch the show itself, and for a period of time from today, she even liked the advertisements of the show.

......

Last year, Rie Miyazawa, who wore a sailor suit, became well-known, and this time in the Glico advertisement, she once again wore a sailor suit - only not last year's navy blue, but a blue and white sailor suit that matches the summer.

A fifteen-year-old girl, playing a schoolgirl who is just starting to fall in love in an advertisement, has a girlish atmosphere with baby fat cheeks.

When Shinichi Iwahashi saw Rie Miyazawa like this in front of the TV, he sincerely sighed that he was really the most dazzling fifteen-year-old now...... Being able to do this at the age of fifteen is simply a model of God's appreciation of food.

Having said that, when I first recorded an audition tape for Eri Fukatsu of AMUSE, I was surprised because the girl was only a teenager, and now, I have long been accustomed to the entertainment industry where I am "famous as soon as possible", and I am not surprised by the fifteen-year-old advertising actor.

In the advertisement, accompanied by the background music of "So Happy, So Happy, So Like!", Rie Miyazawa, who plays the female student, takes out the Glico Baiqi from her bag and happily shares it with the actor who plays the male student.

The breath of youth is blowing in her face, Rie Miyazawa, who has an innocent temperament, and the male students who look refreshing and shy, giving people a feeling of "youth is so good~".

Compared with the "senior" Rie Miyazawa, who has debuted for several years, the male student is probably still a newcomer, and playing against Rie Miyazawa in the advertisement seems to be slightly inferior to her.

However, because in the whole advertisement, Rie Miyazawa plays the aggressive side, and the youthfulness of the male students has just the right feeling.

When the advertisement was broadcast, there was a line in the lower right corner of the TV, marking the title of the advertising song: "So happy! So happy! I like it!".

This was the biggest publicity for the band's debut single.

The official release of the single was four days later, and the distribution was even earlier, and now that the commercials are airing, there are already record stores on the shelves.

It's said that it will be officially released on which day, and it's not like a game, just move your fingers to assign it. In the prosperous areas of Kanto, Kansai and Tokai, goods can be distributed early, while in the countryside of remote cities, it is later than the official release.

If you go to Ishigaki Island or a small place in the northernmost part of Hokkaido, you have to make a reservation a month in advance if you want to buy a record.

Records must have a producer, a distributor, and a seller.

Small record companies, without their own distribution networks, have to entrust large distribution companies to distribute on their behalf, and of course, for CBS Sony, they are the only ones who represent others.

With the bonus of the band's status as the champion of heaven, the record store is quite optimistic about the band's sales prospects, so the number of orders sent from all over the country is also considerable, plus CBS Sony itself also has high hopes, and the performance trend of BEGIN, which debuted before them, the band's debut single, various media combined, printed 50,000 copies in one go, half of which were pressed in the warehouse, and the other half were distributed.

The record market has been sluggish in recent years, and the first printing of 50,000 copies for new bands is already proof of high expectations.

The debut album, which was released two weeks later, also had 50,000 copies in stock.

As a debut album, in order to become famous, the album name uses the band's namesake "DREAMS COME TRUE", and it comes with a schedule of performances for the national tour.

They are all small venues that can only accommodate two or three hundred people, such as school halls or civic cultural centers, and not all of the 47 prefectures and prefectures are strolled, and only relatively large cities are selected.

Not only that, but CBS Sonny also has the heart, and it is certainly not a matter of negotiating with Miwa-chan's junior high school to ask for permission to use their auditorium to perform and return home, but at least for Miwa-chan, it is a reflection of her decision to leave Hokkaido and go to Tokyo to pursue her dream of singing.

The proof is that after confirming the show, she immediately called her friends in Hokkaido and told them about it, and also excitedly announced to Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura Masato that friends would promote the band locally.

Every step towards her dream can make her happy.

Working with such people is always motivating.

ON TV, AFTER GRECO'S COMMERCIALS, SEVERAL MORE COMMERCIALS WERE FOLLOWED, AND THEN IT TURNED BACK TO THE SHOW, AND THE NEXT ONE TO APPEAR WAS A BAND NAMED THE PLEASE.

As soon as the performance began, Shinichi Iwahashi could see that this band was the so-called old fritters, without a trace of "amateur" feeling, but a bit of professionalism.

There is more than technology, but it is a bit too polished, and the light emitted seems to be thrown by a polishing plate.

Such a band can't become popular, or it can't be popular.

Iwahashi Shin thought to himself that even if they shined, it would be the kind of light that would fall off as soon as it was wiped off, and it would not last. You might win one game, but as long as the next down-to-earth band comes along, it's easy to beat them.

After the performance of THE PLEASE, the evaluation received was roughly "solid" and "no edges", and the score was not low.

As the show continued, one band after another appeared, but in the end, the band didn't get a chance to win a game, and this episode of the show ended with the winner of the previous show winning a second consecutive championship.

"The winner of this issue is BLANKEY JET CITY, who has won two in a row!

In the TV screen, accompanied by the words of Yuji Miyake, the show came to an end. Amid the cheers of the studio, the cast and crew scrolled by.

Shinichi Iwahashi turned off the TV.

The next weekend, I made an appointment to have dinner with Watanabe Manyumi. At the dinner table, she said that she had a party in the evening, "I want to visit Suzuki-san's house, Suzuki-san has worked with my father before, so it's not good to come to the door empty-handed......"

After a pause, he invited: "Wait a minute, do you have any arrangements?" ”

"Isn't it asking me to choose a gift with you?" Iwahashi looked at her face and guessed what she was going to say.

Watanabe Manyumi didn't see through the weakness of the heart at all, and calmly, and asked, "Okay?"

"The vision of my lame apprentice is not worth referring to, is it?" Iwahashi Shinichi complained to himself, thought about it, and said, "However, if 'Watanabe-sensei' has a special make-up class, I'd be happy to take it." ”

Watanabe's laughter grows on this "Watanabe-sensei".
