331. Preparation for debut

The selection of the debut single and the album should be carried out at the same time, and as an undebuted band, their lyrics and songs are very generous.

In addition to the songs that Miwa-chan has composed since elementary school, the lyrics and songs that she completed from time to time after she met Shinichi Iwahashi as if she were handing in her homework, in addition to the stock songs that Masato Nakamura has accumulated.

It's more than enough to make an album.

Of course, keep in mind the lesson of FIR and don't put all the good songs on the same album.

There were a few song selection meetings, and there is no doubt that the debut single was "So happy, so happy, so like!" at the time of the competition, and as for the final album song list, nine songs are Miwa-chan's songs, and only one uses Nakamura Masato's stock song.

The reason for this arrangement is simple and simple, and Miwa-chan's ability to compose lyrics to other people's songs has not yet been practiced at home. In order not to give semi-finished products to consumers, let's sing her song for the time being.

If you want to make your debut, you have to choose not only songs, but also other aspects of things.

While they're acting, so is CBS Sony.

The debut press conference is scheduled to be held on the last day of April, and before the press conference, people from the record company have already begun to send the band's materials to TV stations, radio broadcasters, record stores, etc., to build momentum for the band's debut.

During this period, the personal manager who was sent to take charge of the band's affairs was also in place, a 35-year-old man surnamed Numata.

In addition to the agent, there are also stylists who are sent at the same time to be in charge of them. As part of their preparations for their debut, the band will participate in several music magazine shoots and conduct brief interviews.

The powerful band does not have such high requirements for external image, so none of the three of them were asked to do anything like orthodontics, and their 100% natural faces were saved.

Costumes and props at concerts are a different story, but if you want to be in magazines or on TV, you still have to listen to the advice of the stylist, and of course, you will keep some of your own insistence.

There aren't many places to worry about in terms of costumes for Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura, so there are only a few sets back and forth.

As the core character of the band, Miwa-chan is still the only flower, and naturally she is the object of attention, so most of the quarrels about clothing or hairstyles come from Miwa-chan and the stylist - and it is very magical, most of them end in the stylist compromise.

Whenever she waved the banner of victory and preserved her personality, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but think to herself that when it came to intransigence, Miwa-chan would probably rarely lose to anyone.

However, for this kind of dispute, Brother Nakamura is much more polite, and always complains with a smile: "The mind is really stubborn." ”

And in response, Miwa-chan returned the favor by giving Brother Nakamura a face of "What are you talking about?"

At this time, it was when Shinichi Iwahashi was watching the excitement from the side.

......

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Before the debut press conference began, I started preparing for the debut interview of the music magazine. Before the debut press conference started, he had already entered the recording studio and started recording.

The recording was made at Sony's Shinano-cho studio, which was completed in 1978 and is one of the best in the world, and has long been synonymous with high-quality recording.

Produced by Shinanomachi Studio, it must be a masterpiece, at least in terms of recording quality.

The first recording took place on April 20, when the trio went to the record label and then from Numata to the studio. The first time I came to work in a top recording studio, whether it was Miwa-chan or her two friends, I was a little vaguely excited.

This kind of hurry, followed up the room of the longing girl.

Not only is the equipment top-notch, but the team is also top-notch, and for Miwa-chan, working with a top team is enjoyable, and for the two half-behind people, Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura, the process of working with a top team can also be a process of learning and learning, which is one of the sources of excitement for Shinnomachi Studio recording.

After the equipment was debugged, Miwa-chan walked into the recording room opposite.

She put on her monitoring headphones and stood in front of the microphone. The sound engineer instructed her to give the microphone a try.

The top-notch recording studio seemed to look similar to the recording studio she had been to before, but it was different from the recording studio she had been to before.

Miwa-chan looked at the glass wall opposite, and the recording engineer made a starting gesture to her.

She was in a good mood, like a child, and said, "Hi, how 're you doin'?"

......

The recording was in the Shinano-cho studio, and the post-production was scheduled to take place in the corrupt country, taking this opportunity, the wealthy CBS Sony even arranged a publicly-funded trip abroad to complete the post-production in the corrupt country, and took a photo of the debut album by the way.

When she learned of this arrangement, Mei and Jiang went to check her passport in a hurry, and she was very interested in this publicly-funded tour. Although I haven't even entered the recording studio yet, I am already in the mood to travel abroad.

Compared with Miwa-chan's excitement, Iwahashi Shinichi was much calmer, and after confirming that the rot country would last for a week, the first thing he had to do was to arrange the work in advance during this time that was not in the book.

The single "17 Years Old" is scheduled to be released on April 28, and at this stage, the single is produced, and it is just before the release, which happens to be a short window period.

However, by the time he went to the country of Rot, the production of the second single was probably in the middle of the process, and at that time, he could only coordinate with Chisato Moritaka first.

The success of this single will determine whether the path that Shinichi Iwahashi has planned for her can continue, whether GENZO can have her first work as a production company, and, to some extent, the future of Chisato Moritaka.

The cover album contract with the Tokyo Music Industry Company, which is still going on, has long since stopped meddling and handed it over to others to practice.

It's about making a single for the winner of the band's heavenly kingdom, and it's still uncertain whether there will be a new winner eliminated during his absence, even if it happens to happen that it will be handed over to Seiichiro Kuribayashi for the time being, and then Tatsuya Hirakawa and others will assist, so it won't be a problem to hold on.

However, for the time being, this will not work. Therefore, an important thing for GENZO next is to recruit new blood.

Especially after DREAMS COME TRUE signed a contract with CBS Sony, Miwa-chan and Masato Nakamura's tunes will be much more troublesome to use, not to mention anything else, a one-time payment to CBS Sony is indispensable.

Although I had to pay a usage fee when I used to use these two people's songs, compared to the previous friendship price, the current price is a bit unbearable for GENZO. In this way, it is now equivalent to losing two composers at once.

Therefore, not only producers, but also songwriters should actively absorb them.
