The daimyo of the ancestral idol Nansha Ori, as well as her masterpiece "17 Years Old", are also familiar to Akina Nakamori.

is different from buying songs from abroad to cover them, "17 Years Old" is already a well-known classic song for me. It's quite challenging to remake a cover of a classic and make an impression on the public.

Therefore, Akina Nakamori's curiosity came not so much from Shinichi Iwahashi's decision to let Chisato Moritaka sing a cover of "17 Years Old", but rather from curiosity about how Shinichi Iwahashi, as a producer, would produce and handle such a classic song.

"It's not easy to cover a famous song, you can't do it well if you don't do it well, and you can't make it if you patronize it to maintain balance. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi received this curiosity from Akina Nakamori and invited, "Would you like to go over and listen to it too?"

During the production of "Hard to Break the Boat", Akina Nakamori also invited him to listen to the audition tape of the song. Because of that past, now when Shinichi Iwahashi invites Akina Nakamori in turn, it seems extraordinarily natural.

Hearing him say this, Akina Nakamori was a little tempted, "But it's ......"

At this point, the elevator stops and the gates open. The two came out one after the other, and Akina Nakamori looked at her watch and hesitated, "Over there in the recording studio, it should be ready by now." ”

Originally, I postponed my work and went to see Yukiko Okada's concert. If you put aside the staff waiting there and listen to the remix of "17 Years Old", it will be unreasonable.

Shinichi Iwahashi expressed understanding. It's just a casual invitation to talk about it, and it doesn't hurt if you go to it or not.

However, Akina Nakamori thought about it and asked again, "Is the meeting going to take place soon?"

Looking at it like this, it seems that the curiosity about this song "17 Years Old" is not so easy to extinguish.

"Almost. Iwahashi Shinichi thought back on the progress, "The release date is very rushed, I will confirm once, before the end of this week, the final version will be decided, and the next step is the pre-release process." ”

Speaking of which, he smiled, "So, it won't be long before the official single will be on the shelves." ”

"Hmmm......"

Akina Nakamori thought for a moment, "In that case, when the single is released, I'll buy a copy and listen to it." ”

"Thank you for your support. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi said a polite word decently, causing Akina Nakamori to smile widely. Seeing that she laughed hard, she asked unhurriedly, "If you don't mind, can you express your thoughts after listening to it?"

For this cover attempt, Shinichi Iwahashi is also curious about how it will work.

"Is that okay?"

"Of course. ”

After Iwahashi Shinichi finished speaking, he half-jokingly added, "However, just listen to it, and now I want you to express your feelings, so you shouldn't buy it yourself, but you should send one to you before the official delivery." ...... It's like a 'tasting' in the store. ”

Akina Nakamori listened to his statement and thought it was very interesting.

A naughty thought popped up in my heart, and I blurted out, "If that's the case, how about you send me one?"

"Huh?"

It was originally a joke, but I didn't expect Topo Star to respond like this, and Iwahashi Shinichi, who was counter-killed, had a few question marks floating on his head.

It seems that I haven't seen such an expression on Shinichi Iwahashi's face yet, and Akina Nakamori thinks it's very interesting, and there is a sense of accomplishment that she has done a prank—a sense of accomplishment.

"Is that okay?" she asked, with a small smile.

Iwahashi Shinichi reacted, as if digesting the strange sense of accomplishment in Momopusta's tone, as if he had never seen such an expression on his face, and Iwahashi Shinichi also tasted Nakamori Akina's prank for the first time.

At the same time, I also saw another side of Akina Nakamori.

Then, he nodded, "Of course that's fine." ...... In that case, after the single is produced, before the official release, I'll send one to your office, okay?"

Iwahashi Shinichi, who gradually recovered after being counter-killed, said with the idea of finding a little bit of a field: "When the time comes, I will ask you about the aftermath of listening?"

"Don't worry. Akina Nakamori showed a cheerful expression and swore to him: "I'm a kid from the shopping street, and after receiving the 'tasting', I have to give feedback seriously, and I am clear about this conventional rule." ”

She accepted it when she saw it, giving Shinichi Iwahashi room to find the field.

"Sounds so reliable. Iwahashi said with a smile. Akina Nakamori, who said this, looked a bit like a girl who showed off her biceps in order to prove that she was very energetic.

That said, the bulging muscles didn't look spectacular, but they were strong and reliable.

"Worthy of being a kid of the shopping street. He deliberately took her words and then returned them to her.

Such ridicule made Akina Nakamori laugh.

"So ......"

At this point, Iwahashi Shinichi took the initiative to say to her, "Since the recording studio is ready, I won't delay you any longer." ”

"It's the same on your side, please go get busy. Akina Nakamori nodded at him slightly, thinking of something, "And then ......"

"Until next time. Shin Iwahashi preemptively said the code.

Akina Nakamori was robbed by him, and he also replied with a smile, "See you next time, Iwahashi-san." ”

By this time, she had forgotten the reason why she deliberately found a topic to say in the first place, and the small talk along the way had already made Akina Nakamori feel comfortable, and the whole person relaxed.

......

After this, the two politely said goodbye, and Akina Nakamori walked to the left to work on her recording. And in her dedicated recording studio, at this moment, all the staff, including the manager and the recording studio, are ready there.

Shinichi Iwahashi walked to the right, and although he came to the studio on an impromptu basis, he came anyway, so he simply went to the studio and started to confirm the mixed version in advance.

I decided to come here on an impromptu basis, and naturally there was no such thing as a reservation. After saying hello to the studio staff, Shinichi Iwahashi entered the studio by himself. Turn on the light, and everything inside remains in a state of "rest".

Anyway, it was temporary, and there was no pressure, so he wandered around and slowly confirmed the mixing of various versions, and while listening, he felt satisfied first and wanted to score a high score.

At least as far as he is concerned, it can be determined that Mori Taka's version of "17 Years Old" has made a cover that is different from the original song of Nansha Weaving and has been reborn. If it's such a cover, it's enough to be the main single of rising idols.

For this single, Shinichi Iwahashi is full of confidence.

Of course, he was also curious about what kind of feedback Akina Nakamori would give him after listening to it.
