398. in the first place
"Iwahashi-san?"
Sachiko Kamaike stood in front of the telephone, half surprised, half confused.
Last time, I was invited by Haruko Akamatsu and tried recording for the first time in the studio. Leaving the studio, nothing changed, she continued to be her model, to shoot photos, occasionally on TV, and as a show girl for business promotion events.
The only thing that has changed is that she and Haruko Akamatsu have a little more contact, and of course, it's only to the extent of the occasional greeting call.
And that first experience in the recording studio, Sachiko Kamaike didn't think that there would be a follow-up.
Haruko Akamatsu tells Sachiko Kamaike that she gave her audition tape to Shinichi Iwahashi. After hearing about it, Iwahashi was very interested in her performance and wanted to talk to her in person.
"I'm sorry, can you go to the studio again? Haruko Akamatsu asked her.
Sachiko Kamaike only paused for a moment before giving an affirmative reply. So, the two girls checked the itinerary on the phone and agreed on a time to meet.
Before hanging up the phone, Haruko Akamatsu said to her, "Kamaike-san, your voice is really nice. ”
"Huh?" Sachiko Kamaike smiled into the phone, "Thank you." ”
Until she put down the phone, she still felt a little strange about the content of the call. In fact, when I went to GENZO's recording studio for the first time, although Sachiko Kamaike knew that the odds were not high, she actually wondered if she would meet that Iwahashi-san.
However, it was not an expectation of wanting to show himself in front of him, but a peculiar yearning.
In the eyes of musicians in the underground music circle, the name Shinichi Iwahashi has a special status. For Sachiko Kamaike, the Iwahashi Shinichi in her eyes is a person who can make other people's "dreams come true", so she respects him from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, the doorbell of the apartment was ringed. Sachiko Kamaike retracted her thoughts, opened the door a crack, and saw that it was Natsuo Okamoto, who was in good spirits, and removed the chain on the door and let her in.
"Good morning, Ko-chan~" Natsuo Okamoto stared at her face and smiled, "I saw dark circles under my eyes." ”
"But I actually have it too, but it's well covered. She added a little nonsensically. Both of them came back from work in the middle of the night.
Sachiko Kamaike showed an expression that she couldn't do anything about her, and walked in after her.
"Would you like coffee?" Sachiko Kamoike walked into the kitchen. Said to be a kitchen, only a short section of the counter, this is a typical sparrow although small and well-equipped bachelor apartment.
"Thank you. Natsuo Okamoto sat down on the sofa and looked at her, "Nakano-san wants us to go to the office at four o'clock, how are we going to play during the day?" ”
"It's easiest to go to Shinjuku to watch a movie first, then go to dinner, then go shopping after eating, and then spend time at a café until half past three?"
Sachiko Kamachi raised her head, "It's good to watch a movie, but I have an arrangement for the afternoon." ”
"Really?" Natsuo Okamoto joked, "Someone is so fast that he booked Yuki-chan's time before me." ”
Being teased by her like this, Sachiko Kamaike just smiled, brewed coffee, and brought it over.
"Thank you for your hospitality~ What time did Yuki-chan make an appointment with that one?" asked Natsuo Okamoto.
Sachiko Kamaike told her that it was two o'clock in the afternoon. On the phone just now, she and Haruko Akamatsu confirmed each other's itinerary, and during the period, they hung up the phone once, and asked Haruko Akamatsu to call Shinichi Iwahashi, and then decided to meet today.
Such an arrangement may have been a bit hasty, but Iwahashi Shinichi is very busy now, and it is not easy to meet him, so he can only see the stitches in these fragmentary hours, so even the etiquette of meeting and the like are put aside first.
"Two o'clock?"
Sachiko Kamaike diverted the topic and asked, "What movie are you going to see?"
"Is My Neighbor Totoro okay?"
At two o'clock, the itinerary for watching movies and eating is no problem.
Sachiko Kamaike smiled, "I've seen it once, right?"
"If it's Hayao Miyazaki-sensei, it doesn't hurt to watch it a few more times, isn't it?" said Natsu Okamoto.
If it's Hayao Miyazaki, it's really worth watching a few more times.
Sachiko Kamaike couldn't refute and nodded yes. The two girls packed up and went out to the movie theater in Shinjuku to watch a movie, and then went to eat after watching the movie, enjoying this after-work vacation in general.
It's almost half past one, and Natsu Okamoto and Sachiko Kamachi are separated.
"I'll just go shopping and have a look. She said.
Sachiko Kamaike apologized, but Natsuo Okamoto didn't let her say what she wanted to say, and she said in an optimistic way: "However, if you go to the boutique counter, even if you are alone, you can shop very energetically." ”
It doesn't matter if he says so, and he asks Sachiko Kamaike, "You think so too, do you?" ”
Sachiko Kamaike nodded, the things displayed in the boutique counter were already pleasing to the eye just by looking at them. She is also an ordinary twenty-one-year-old girl, and she has the same thoughts as Okamoto Natsuo in these matters.
Besides, the modeling job they are engaged in, as the bottom of the entertainment industry, to a certain extent, is a job that needs to fight against ideals and self-esteem.
Therefore, treating yourself to good things with the money you earn as a model can also be seen as a kind of spiritual self-appreciation.
Girls in this line of work earn more and spend more, in addition to the reasons for keeping up to date because of their profession, or the vanity of young women, there are also some subtle factors in it.
"Then, I'll go and hang out by myself. When Natsuo Okamoto parted, he reminded her, "I'm going to the office at four o'clock, Ko-chan." Don't go on a date and forget about it. ”
Sachiko Kamaike replied with a smile, "I will never forget it." ”
......
This morning, Shinichi Iwahashi had a meeting at CBS Sony.
DREAMS COME TRUE'S DEBUT SINGLE AND ALBUM ARE NOW SELLING QUITE WELL, AND AFTER THEIR DEBUT SINGLE "THE BEST TEN" DEBUTED, THEY SUCCESSFULLY BROKE THROUGH THE TOP 10 BARRIERS, AND EVEN SPRINTED TO THIRD PLACE IN THE TOP RANKING.
Driven by the tour bonus and singles, the sales of the album have also risen steadily, and the radio on demand there, there are also audiences who have begun to demand the songs in the album, a little bit of accumulation, so that the album has also tasted breaking into the top ten, setting a debut single and debut album entering the top ten of the chart at the same time in the same week, such a personal record that is not great, but very bright.
The debut single and album are in full shape, but they will never do nothing here and wait until the sales are over. has just debuted, and it is necessary to constantly have works to maintain exposure and attention.
Today's meeting at CBS Sony was about the new album and the new single.
In this meeting, CBS Sony and U-MIZ all sent people to attend, and the three members of the band were also present. I can't decide anything after driving once, but I just determine a few general directions first.
However, the results of his debut were good, and he was confident in the next single in all aspects.
After seeing the good results brought by Glico's advertising songs, for the next new singles, both the record company and the studio also intend to continue this model.
It doesn't have to be just an advertising song, it's also a theme song or episode of a TV series or variety show.
In the golden age of television, every time a song was played on TV, I don't know how many viewers heard it. This effect is better than many propaganda methods.
It was already past twelve o'clock at noon when the meeting ended, and after a working meal, Shinichi Iwahashi went to Yoyogi's recording studio. When he arrived, Haruko Akamatsu and Sachiko Kakachi, two girls, were already sitting on the sofa in the studio.
Iwahashi Shinichi pushed the door in, saw the two girls, and knew that it was Sachiko Kamaike who was with Haruko Akamatsu, and smiled apologetically at the two of them, "Sorry, I'm late." ”
The two girls got up from the couch together and bowed to him.
Haruko Akamatsu said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Kamaike-san and I have just arrived. ”
Iwahashi glanced at the coffee table quietly, and it was clean, knowing that the phrase "just arrived" did not seem to be social rhetoric.
"I can testify to this. Seiichiro Kuribayashi heard that Iwahashi Shinichi had arrived, came out of it with two cups of coffee, and said to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Freshly brewed coffee can't fool people, and human and material evidence gathers.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't answer his words, but jokingly asked him, "Where's my cup?"
Seiichiro Kuribayashi put down the two cups in his hand and replied with ease: "My cup hasn't been soaked yet." "I went in to make coffee again.
......
Iwahashi-san is much younger than expected.
Sachiko Kamaike quietly went to look at Shinichi Iwahashi and thought to herself. Judging by her appearance, at most she is only a few years older than her. However, at a young age, he is already a respected producer.
Having seen his convincing works, Sachiko Kamaike did not have that kind of distrust in the face of his youth.
As soon as Iwahashi Shinichi entered the door, it was a joke of three words. Sachiko Kamaike observes his interaction with Seiichiro Kuribayashi, and first gets an approachable and gentle impression of Shinichi Iwahashi.
In any case, Iwahashi-san, who is about the same age and approachable, must be more relaxed than Iwahashi-san, who is much older and unsmiling.
Sachiko Kamaike is no exception.
"Iwahashi-san, this is Kamaike-san. ”
At this time, Haruko Akamatsu acted as an introducer and introduced Sachiko Kamaike to him.
Sachiko Kamaike bowed to him, "Hello, I'm Sachiko Kamaike. ”
"Hello, my surname is Iwahashi. Iwahashi shrouded slightly and handed over his business card.
Sachiko Kamaike took the business card, carefully confirmed the title printed on it, and put it away. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "That, the band you planned, I've been watching it all along." ”
"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi was happy to hear her say, "You like bands?"
Sachiko Kabuchi showed a look of embarrassment, remembering that when she was a student, in order to be able to join the band, she went to the band formed by the boys to ask if she needed a female lead singer.
At that time, her love for the band was able to overcome her inner shyness and make her take the initiative to get closer to the world that seemed to belong to men. Just like now, her love for the band Heaven made her overcome her inner shyness and take the initiative to express her support for the show to Shinichi Iwahashi.
However, these thoughts could not be shared with Shinichi Iwahashi who met him for the first time, so she simply replied, "Yes, I like it." ”
Shinichi Iwahashi caught the micro-expression on her face, a little curious as to what she had thought of in that moment.
If you look at it this way, this Sachiko Kamaike is indeed a beauty, she works as a model, and her demeanor is quite good, Haruko Akamatsu is already a big beauty, and Sachiko Kamaike stands with her, and she is not inferior to her.
Not only that, but after becoming a model, the impression has changed compared to the time when I was an office worker at a real estate company. But that's not a bad change.
is at the bottom of the entertainment industry, but she has not been contaminated with the temperament of a low-level model. Or should I say that such a girl makes people feel that she is not very compatible with the job of a photo model.
How did you come up with the idea of working as a model from a real estate company?
Sachiko Kamaike doesn't remember the guest she met once by chance, and Shin'ichi Iwahashi didn't mention this stubble, so he put the matter down for the time being.
......
After the pleasantries, the three of them sat down. Sachiko Kamaike and Haruko Akamatsu sat on the sofa, and Shinichi Iwahashi moved a chair.
"I listened to the audition tape that Kamaike-san left here. "Shinichi Iwahashi tries to get straight to the point.
Sachiko Kamaike politely bowed slightly, as if to say that she was ugly, and as if she was apologizing for using their recording studio as an outsider.
"Do you like Ann Lewis's songs?"
"Yes, I think Ann Lewis is very versatile. However, my favorite is the song she has since transitioned to rock style...... "Sachiko Kamaike is like an elementary school student who is asked by a teacher, and she speaks her thoughts in a regular manner.
Indeed, listening to Ann Lewis's "Roppongi Heart", you wouldn't expect her to sing "Goodbye My Love". Shinichi Iwahashi agreed.
"Kamaike-san's "Roppongi Heart" is very feeling. He said, "After listening to Kamaike-san's audition tape, I thought that this kind of voice would be very effective if I sang rock music." ”
"I'm very curious, and after hearing a good voice, I want to meet a real person. I heard that it was a friend of Akamatsu, so I took the liberty of asking her to help introduce her. Shin Iwahashi half joked.
"Kamaike-san just said that he likes the band Heaven, and he likes Ann Lewis after the transformation of rock and roll style, so he must like rock music, right?"
Sachiko Kamaike replied, "Yes, I like it." ”
Noticing that she was a little nervous, Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it for a moment and used this introduction to change the subject.
"So, among the bands that appeared in the band of the band Heavenly Kingdom, did Kamaike-san have any impresses?" Iwahashi smiled, "It's rare to meet a loyal audience of the show, and let me collect the audience's thoughts on the spot." ”
Sachiko Kamaike first confessed to Shinichi Iwahashi that she liked the band Heaven, which made it easier to continue the current topic.
