Watanabe Manyumi silently observes Sachiko Kamaike.

She only wears light makeup, and the real person looks more beautiful than the photos in the photo magazine. Tall and tall, she has a good figure as a model, but her straight standing posture has a kind of athlete's style compared to the model.

Sachiko Kamaike gave a good first impression to Watanabe Manyumi.

In this large-scale interview, the person in charge of communicating with the office was Manyumi Watanabe, but the entire interview process was led by Shinichi Iwahashi, and the producer of the band announced to the public was also Shinichi Iwahashi.

He has been dealing with bands for the past two years, and the fame he has accumulated has not only made the underground music industry look differently, but the industry also sees him as a new band producer, led by him, and rightly so.

Today's interview is the same, from beginning to end, he communicates with the newcomers who come to run.

Sachiko Kamaike was secretly relieved to see that the person presiding over the selection was Shinichi Iwahashi. On the other side, Shinichi Iwahashi met Sachiko Kamaike in the interview as he wished, and his heart was relieved for the most part.

went around such a big circle, and all he did was to take down Sachiko Kamaike quietly. Since she has come to this interview room today, she will definitely not let her slip away from her hand.

With his mind set up, Iwahashi Shinichi remained silent and interviewed Sachiko Kamaike.

Watanabe Manyumi basically did not say a word throughout the interview, acting as an observer. While observing the performance of the newcomers who came to the interview, he quietly summarized the different characteristics of the newcomers from different firms.

Now, she is also observing Sachiko Kamaike from the side. However, because of Shinichi Iwahashi's confidence in Sachiko Kamaike, she has to be extra meticulous when looking at Sachiko Kamaike.

Shinichi Iwahashi asked several questions in quick succession, no different than when he asked someone else.

Sachiko Kamaike doesn't talk much, and in front of the interviewers who can decide her fate, she doesn't have much desire to perform, and every time Shinichi Iwahashi asks a question, she thinks carefully, considers the words, and answers seriously with few words, quite a reserved person.

"And then there'......"

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Sachiko Kamaike, "If you do rock music, what kind of rock music do you want to be?"

"I want to make rock music that can be sung in karaoke. Sachiko Kamaike said.

It is rock music that can be sung in karaoke. Watanabe Manyumi subconsciously glanced at her because of Sachiko Kamaike's answer.

Iwahashi Shinichi was not surprised, and nodded, "In that case, next, please sing rock music that you can sing in karaoke." ”

Sachiko Kamaike owes herself and responds "yes". On this occasion, the song of Ann Lewis was also chosen to sing.

......

Listening to her sing in person is not the same as listening to the audition tape. Watanabe Manyumi listened to Sachiko Kamaike sing live, and while she was surprised by her clear voice, she also understood why Iwahashi Shinichi insisted on choosing her as the lead singer.

In fact, her conditions in all aspects are impeccable.

As early as the production of the women's rock festival, Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned that bands with women as the main characters are easier to enter in terms of style, and it is more convenient to make the band format a more fashionable thing.

Sachiko Kamaike's personal voice is the key to impressing, and the outstanding appearance and figure of the model are the plus points, in addition to that, she mentions that she "wants to make rock music that can be sung in karaoke".

To some extent, this kind of thinking coincides with what Iwahashi Shinichi considered.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who is trying to commercialize, popularize, and make rock popular, will never ignore the popularity of karaoke.

Sachiko Katsuike's voice is full of personal characteristics, and her appearance is good, and the kind of "righteousness" that is very hindered as a photo model makes her unexpectedly likable to women, and there are no shortcomings in the key conditions.

It can be said that the appearance of this girl perfectly spells the puzzle piece of the ideal band of Shinichi Iwahashi.

Coupled with a likable personality that seems to be too serious, but is good at thinking, and dreams and pursuits for music, it is no wonder that Sachiko Kamaike is such that Shinichi Iwahashi believes that she is the best choice for the new lead singer.

Watanabe Manyumi and Iwahashi Shinichi have worked together until now, and they have a clear idea of him as a person, and when they look at things and his choices, they can understand his true intentions better than anyone else.

Even Haruko Akamatsu, who brought Sachiko Kamaike to Shinichi Iwahashi, insisted only because she saw Sachiko Kamaike's talent and couldn't think deeply about these business reasons.

After understanding his intentions, Watanabe Manyumi remembered that before Sachiko Kamaike came in, Iwahashi Shinichi was full of confidence, "I promise, I won't let you down", and felt that this sentence had a different taste.

When he said this, he knew that Watanabe Manyumi could understand the reason why he insisted on choosing Sachiko Kamaike.

Watanabe Manyumi suddenly felt that when Shinichi Iwahashi decided to set up a record company for Sachiko Kamaike, he probably secretly decided in his heart that he would be popular ABNORMAL no matter what.

......

After Sachiko Kamaike finished singing, Shinichi Iwahashi said "hard work" to her, and then the interview for her came to an end.

The results of the interview have not yet been announced, and after Sachiko Kamaike withdraws, there are still models sent by the Star Office waiting to be selected.

Even if Sachiko Kamaike, who really wants, has already appeared, the next interview can't be fooled around, and how to conduct it has to be carried out.

Eleven girls, next to each other, took a whole afternoon.

The Xingchen Office didn't just pack people and send them over, and the girls who could come to this interview room had a passable level of singing, so that he, a person with an absolute sense of sound, would not be baptized in the interview room by "Offering of Love".

The models who participated in the interview came and went, and in the blink of an eye it was the last one of the day.

It was already dusk. The last girl walked into the interview room and stood in front of Shinichi Iwahashi.

As soon as she appeared, Iwahashi Shinichi was slightly stunned.

It's not because of an acquaintance who has met, or because the girl opposite is a super-beautiful woman who is amazing, but because this girl, the first impression she makes, is a little similar to Sachiko Kamaike.

After the girl stood still, she introduced herself to Shinichi Iwahashi, "My name is Keiko Utoku, and I am twenty-one years old this year, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Twenty-one years old? That's the same age as Sachiko Kamaike.

Shinichi Iwahashi put away the first impression that he felt that the two people had similar temperaments, and asked a routine question. In the case that Sachiko Kamaike has been finalized, he is not really interested in this girl who is a little similar to Sachiko Kamaike.

However, when I talked about it, I found that this Yude Keiko is just a little similar to Sachiko Kamachi in temperament, and is actually a completely different person from Sachiko Kamaike.

Keiko Utoku is more talkative, and what surprises Shinichi Iwahashi is some of her views on music, and the musical literacy she shows is obviously the experience of systematically accepting music learning.

After the interview questioning session, Utoku Keiko also sang the songs she likes and is good at the request of Shinichi Iwahashi. Unlike Sachiko Kamaike, she was more influenced by Western music and chose to sing the songs of the Carpenter band.

Keiko Utoku's voice is also completely different from Sachiko Kamaike's, and when you look at it whole, except for the similarity that was given to him in terms of appearance and temperament at the beginning, there is no resemblance anywhere else.

However, such a Utoku Keiko, her singing performance is also remarkable, so that Iwahashi Shinichi has a feeling of brightness before today's interview.

Maybe it's because I've heard Sachiko Kamachi sing a long time ago, and because I expected her performance today, this long-lost sense of expectation should be on Utoku Keiko at the end of the interview.

"Okay, hard work. ”

After listening to Keiko Utoku singing, Shinichi Iwahashi said to her.

When this social phrase is spoken, the interview is over. It's just that I didn't expect that before letting Yude Keiko leave, it was Yude Keiko who opened his mouth again.

"I love music, Iwahashi-san. Utoku Keiko said.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her with a slight expression. However, Yude Keiko did not continue her confession, and after saying this, she bowed slightly and did not speak again.

"I see. Shinichi Iwahashi responded politely.

After thinking about it, before letting her leave, she asked again: "If, I mean, if there is music-related work, will you do it?"

"......" Utoku Keiko was silent for a moment.

After a moment's consideration, she nodded, "Yes, I'd love to work in music." ”

After asking such a question, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't say anything more. At this end of the conversation, he motioned for Utoku Keiko to leave.

Keiko Utoku exited the room, and Shin Iwahashi began to tidy up her things.

After a while, the agent of the Xingchen Office knocked on the door and entered, and everyone in the interview room got up to greet him.

"I've really caused trouble for your firm today. "Watanabe Manyumichi.

The agent said politely and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "Iwahashi-san, did you gain anything from today's interview?"

If the new lead singer of the band is really selected from these models of the Star Office, it will be a sure profit for the Star Office. Since I chose someone to send it over, I hope that this pile of "cheap lottery tickets" in my hand can win one.

"The newcomers to your firm are doing very well. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi complimented, avoiding the crux of the broker's question.

Now is the occasion when it is not the time to announce who you have taken a fancy to. The agent also knew it, and the topic was briefly mentioned, and then put it aside.

In recent years, companies recruiting college students for interviews have to reimburse the round-trip travel expenses, not to mention that various firms have cooperated with the selection of newcomers to send them to participate in the interview.

After the interview, GenZo was the boss, GenZo and U-MIZ cadres accompanied, and invited the agent of Xingchen Office to have dinner with the models.

Regardless of whether you are selected or unsuccessful, you can have a big meal at the end, and for most of the newcomers who come to participate in the selection, this trip will not be a loss.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe also went to another restaurant and chatted while eating.

"After that, I'll get in touch with the Xingchen Office and discuss the matter of Kachi-san, right?"

Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "I can act in the next few days." ...... However, it was decided a long time ago to take down Kamaike-san, and in addition to her, there is another person I care about a little. ”

Watanabe thought for a moment, "Is that the girl who sang Carpenter's "TopOfTheWorld"?"

"You think she's special, too?" said Iwahashi with a smile.

"She sings Carpenter songs with a lot of taste, and she's a very good singer. Watanabe Manyumi expressed her opinion of Keiko Utoku and asked in turn, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

"Don't know?"

Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "I don't know." Seeing that Watanabe's expression began to change, she quickly stopped and explained, "I really don't know." ”

"That Udesan has some musical talent. He said, "Although we have already decided on Kamaike-san this time, even if Kamaike-san is not available, I don't think she is the right person to be the lead singer." ”

In other words, her vocal qualities are not very suitable for being the lead singer of a rock band. ”

Shinchi Iwahashi vetoed the possibility of Keiko Utoku joining the band, and then said, "And, to be honest, GenZo doesn't need such a singer now. ”

Watanabe Manyumi agrees with the conclusion that he, GenZo, doesn't need a singer like Keiko Utoku, but he can't help but be curious, since he has long understood, what does Shinichi Iwahashi "care" about?

Shinichi Iwahashi guessed what she was thinking, "It was the last thing Utoku-san said that she liked music very much. ”

"It takes courage to say such a thing at the last minute. Shinichi Iwahashi said to Manyumi Watanabe.

"To say that, there must be something else besides courage. Watanabe Manyumi pointed out, "Trust. ”

"You say she trusts me?"

"It doesn't necessarily trust you," Watanabe smiled, suddenly understanding why he cared, "It's believing in this opportunity." ”

And that's why Iwahashi hesitated. Keiko Utoku really regards this interview as an important opportunity for herself, and this audition meeting for Sachiko Kamaike alone is also a chance for her to get a turnaround.

Before leaving, I told him in front of him that I liked music very much. This is proof enough.

Despite this, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't feel guilty for having Sachiko Kamaike set up early on and took a special form for her.

This time it's to choose the lead singer for ABNORMAL.,Even if there is no Sachiko Kamaike,He won't choose Utoku Keiko.,So there's no such thing as a black-box operation that caused her to lose an opportunity.。

What really made him hesitate was the way Yutoku Keiko sent her dream to him at the end.

"By the way, Udosanto is twenty-one years old, right?" said Watanabe Manyumi, thinking back to the interview.

Iwahashi thought for a moment, "Well, it's as big as Kamaike-san." ”
