"It's fast, Iwahashi-san. ”

Before Miwa Yoshida entered the door, she commented like a food artist who wanted to comment before eating.

"General. Shin'ichi Iwahashi said meaninglessly modestly.

I thought to myself, when she comes in, don't be like a food artist who is tasting, and she has to express her meaningless feelings when she sees anything in the room.

...... It's strange if you don't publish it.

Entering the door, Mikazu Yoshida looked at his room with curiosity and could see it all in one eye exercise.

"Remarkable, unexpectedly clean and tidy. ”

In this way, it seems to be sarcastic. Shinichi Iwahashi said deliberately.

Miwa Yoshida smiled, "It's okay, please don't be so stingy." "I just didn't expect Iwahashi-san's life to be so orderly." I thought that as a young man who lived alone, the room would be more messy. ”

With that, she raised her wrist and showed the handbag hanging from her wrist, "Anyway, it's the first time I've come to the door and brought you chocolate chip shortbread." ”

"Thank you. Iwahashi Shinichi took it and put it on the counter. Turning his face, Miwa Yoshida looked at him like a small animal.

He deliberately pretended to be stupid, just not to open the box of snacks. He opened the drawer, took the bag of bread, pointed to the paper bag, the letter paper, and the tape stacked on the low table, and said as he chewed the bread, "Everything is here." ”

Miwa Yoshida let out an "oh" and tilted her head, "Got it." ”

After the production of the audition tapes was completed, the two scraped together the money and made dozens of copies, preparing to send them to the record company as self-recommended business cards.

Miwa Yoshida came over today just to bind these audition tapes with him.

This kind of work is inconvenient to do outside, and the apartment in Yoshida Mei and Honancho is shared with someone else, so it is not suitable to disturb it, and in the end, it is still the residence of a bachelor, and it doesn't matter how you come here.

"Iwahashi-san doesn't have a good girl, right?" At this time, Miwa Yoshida seemed to be a food entertainer who had summarized after eating, and after watching it to the fullest, he expressed his thoughts, "There is no girl's atmosphere in the room at all. ”

“......”

Iwahashi finished chewing his bread, "Let's start quickly." ”

"Hai~" Miwa Yoshida dragged out his voice and replied perfunctorily.

——

"Dry~"

“Good luck~”

"Bon voyage (Happy Trip)~"

Yoshida Miwa muttered while working, and at first it was just ordinary broken thoughts, chattering and chattering, and it was estimated that the momentum came up, and he sang a jazz impromptu with these few words, and the one that was reversed was called a slip.

Iwahashi Shinichi listened to her for a long time before finally interrupting her, "Yoshida-san, what are you doing?"

"I wish them a bright future. Miwa Yoshida said it as a matter of course.

Shin's forehead twitched straight at Iwahashi, "...... All right. "It's an archmage chanting in magic, right?

In the world of the big guy, mortals like him really don't understand.

Binding dozens of audition tapes, plus the letter of introduction attached to it, this workload is not too large but not small, but it is mainly focused on writing a letter of introduction.

Self-promotion, if you don't use handwritten letters, it will inevitably give people the impression that the sincerity is not enough, and the handwriting is not too sloppy, so that the two of them are like two lame students writing exam papers, drawing one stroke after another, for fear of being deducted from the face of the paper.

Before noon was ready, Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida put aside their work for the time being and went to a nearby restaurant to have a bite to eat.

When the stomach is full, I am lazy, and when I come back, Miwa Yoshida says "take a break", and Shinichi Iwahashi agrees, so in this six-stacked room, the two of them occupy one side, as if there is an invisible three-eight line in the middle.

There was a thick stack of magazines and books piled up in the corner, and Miwa Yoshida asked him, "Can you read it?"

"Just look at it. ”

Mikazu Yoshida flipped through it with great interest, and there were books on music information magazines and music history, most of which were from the past, and some were even a year or two ago.

"So many old magazines," she asked.

"I bought it cheaply at a second-hand bookstore. Iwahashi replied.

To quickly understand the current market, it is a good way to read magazines, because magazines have a feature - "summary", looking at previous issues of magazines, you can systematically understand the changes in the music trend of the market through the content inside.

And not to mention the history of music, you have to eat in the music scene of this country, and you don't know how to do it without knowing the history of their music scene.

If you want to talk about the ecology of the RB music scene, basically, at the beginning, everyone performed their own duties, the songwriters stayed behind the scenes as black clothes, and the singers were responsible for shining in front of the stage.

The record label signed a contract with the songwriter to make them the company's exclusive writers. This is similar to the studio era of RB Films, where film companies also train directors, scriptwriters, and actors on their own, and if they don't start from the bottom of the studio, they have no place in the film industry.

However, this studio system eventually collapsed, and the record label system did not last in the industry.

Around 1955, RB's economic white paper announced that the country had been lifted out of poverty, and European and American singers from all walks of life began to visit Japan one after another in the 50s, and European and American music became popular. (As for the influence of ZZ on the music scene, for the sake of harmony, I will not mention it here)

After the Beatles' visit, young people took up guitars and other instruments to form bands, and Group Sounds rock 'n' roll was born, with The Spiders and Kenji Sawada's The Tigers populating.

The Spiders member Sakai Masaaki played the Monkey King in 1978's "Journey to the West", and after the TV series of the Sanzang mage turned into a girl was transmitted to China, it contributed to the birth of the 86th version of Journey to the West. Two flowers, two flowers.

Group Sounds came and went quickly, and gradually ebbed with the disbandment of iconic bands, but there is no doubt that the elements brought about by this trend have greatly enriched the RB music scene.

In the process of the continuous import of European and American music into RB, young people were influenced by European and American singers to write and sing on their own, and the number of singer-songwriters also increased significantly, which laid the foundation for the birth and development of new music later.

In addition, just as the collapse of the studio system made movies more diverse, the rules of the record company in the past were broken in the impact, and pop music became more colorful.

The development of new music and the birth of idols went on almost simultaneously, and in 1971, a variety show called "STAR! Birth" gave birth to three ancestral idols: Momoe Yamaguchi, Junko Sakurada, and Masako Mori.

From then to the past ten years, the profession of idols has not become obsolete.

coincided with the sluggish record sales in the past few years, only the sales of idols were still strong, and the group of people who made new music also became these songwriters who love to shake dew.

"Haha!" Miwa Yoshida, who was casually flipping through the magazine, suddenly laughed, interrupting Shinichi Iwahashi's train of thought.

"See anything good?" Iwahashi asked her.

"It says," Miwa Yoshida said, staring at the inside page of the magazine, laughing as she read, "When a typhoon hits, every billboard that falls in Ginza hits, one of the ten girls hit is an idol." ”
