10,000 yen per room, others are counted separately.

...... It's good to be rich.

This is the true truth that is common in all times and in all countries.

After that day, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori devoted themselves to their respective work and life again.

Two people, one is a small boss in the entrepreneurial period who has goals in his career and is full of energy, and the other is Taopu Star, who is at the top to stabilize the momentum and meet the challenges of latecomers, each with its own busy methods.

DREAMS COME TRUE is gaining momentum, and the fact that the band's music quality is top-notch has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the public. As long as the existing style and quality can be maintained, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a front-line.

When the summer circus tour begins, if they can gain public recognition for their live performances, then the two most important things for the band: a good song and a good live performance, the two legs are generally together, and they can take a big stride.

DREAMS COME TRUE is on the right track, and although Shinichi Iwahashi will not let up on the band because of this, he can at least breathe a sigh of relief and not have to worry about it as nervously as before.

For bands on tracks, at least for a while, it's good to follow the tracks.

The record company's booth has just been rolled out, and there is a best-selling band there, so I can make sure that Iwahashi is relaxed, and in this bubble era, he can move comfortably to a new house and fall in love.

DREAMS COME TRUE has gained momentum, but the future of ZARD remains uncertain.

As the first work of the record company, ZARD's debut single achieved great success among newcomers, on the one hand, following the publicity effect brought by the Yuejiu TV series, and on the other hand, there were new promotions that were added during this time.

Momoko Kikuchi's assist pushed the band into the top 10 of the singles chart. The first MUSIC FAIR received a very good response, and after the program was broadcast, there were many viewers who called the TV station to inquire about it.

The program has a good effect, firstly, it drives sales, and secondly, the TV appearance has left a good impression on the audience.

If there are achievements and the audience likes to watch them, there is the value of being invited.

However, for newcomer bands, there are not many programs that can be played.

Those super prime time files are either not very friendly to new singers, or although the band can enter the top ten in physical sales, it is not well-known, and according to the calculation point standard of counting audience letters, it is not easy to break into the top ten list set by the program group.

At this stage, although there are many and miscellaneous music fans on major TV stations, almost half of them are for idols. In the other half, it is necessary to remove the singers who are specially invited to perform, so that there are not many ordinary singers and bands.

If you remove the prime time that is not friendly to newcomer singers, as well as the strange programs that will drop prices, the singers are better, and there are only a few programs that can really make the band play back and forth.

However, Hikaru who had produced the band Heaven and had a good relationship with TV Asahi gave ZARD a chance to participate in TV Asahi MUSIC STATION.

MUSIC STATION IS MORE FRIENDLY TO SINGERS AND BANDS, ESPECIALLY TO BANDS, AND CAN BE SAID TO BE THE FRIENDLIEST OF ALL THE PRIME-TIME MUSIC STATIONS OF ALL TV STATIONS.

The reason why this is so is because of the band's heavenly relationship. It's all the same TV show, and the band that comes out of the band kingdom is always a little bit prioritized, and even if it's a newcomer, there is a chance to participate in the show.

On the other hand, the band that came out of the band kingdom of heaven became popular later, and when they played, they would give priority to MUSIC STATION, which could be regarded as a reward for the program group that opened the door to them at the stage when it was not popular.

DREAMS COME TRUE is the same.,Released a new song.,Nothing else maybe.,But this music will definitely go.。

MANY BANDS ATTEND MUSIC STATION, AND MANY BAND LOVERS HAVE SET THIS SHOW AS A WEEKLY MUST-SEE, AND THE PROGRAM TEAM REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE "BAND" AS A FEATURE OF THE SHOW.

As a result, since the start of the broadcast, there has been neither a super luxurious stage nor a fun mini-game, and because I couldn't find MUSIC STATION, which is constantly adjusting the characteristics of the show itself, I took this opportunity to start a honeymoon period with the band.

Shinichi Iwahashi personally watched ZARD's performance invitation, and while watching it, he felt that there were still too few music programs for ordinary singers and bands.

In contrast, there are many more bands that can break into the top 10 of the charts than in the previous two years.

Shinichi Iwahashi, as the man in black behind the scenes who promoted the arrival of the band's tide, is quite sensitive to this wind direction.

He pondered in his heart that although the band Heaven was abandoned by him and Watanabe Manyumi, the show brought a topic and sent many band talents.

Outside of the show, record labels and studios are aware of the wave and are looking for half-finished products in the underground music scene – including him.

As a result, the band's talent pool is about to reach an unprecedented level. There will be more and more bands that will debut next, and more and more will be qualified to compete with popular idols on the charts.

Not only that, but there will be more and more bands that need to show themselves on TV......

Iwahashi Shinichi pays attention not only to the charts and sales, but also to the collision between idols and bands, and also to think of TV shows and this music environment that is extremely friendly to idols.

......

However, despite the outstanding results of ZARD's debut single, the delay in debut "THE BEST TEN" exposed the fact that the band was not famous enough and did not have many loyal fans.

In other words, the current brilliant results are obtained by good songs and good publicity.

Even if this one can sell more than 100,000 copies in the end, when it comes to the next one, if it doesn't meet the public's taste, it may disappear directly from the rankings.

The dazzling debut results are a shot in the air, for the industry, for TV stations, advertisers, including record companies and studios, after a hit, before the next single comes out, the band will be treated accordingly as a "100,000 copies".

TV stations and advertisers will be more willing to cooperate with a 100,000-level band, and Xingchen will also be more actively cooperative.

This is a good thing for the record company and for Shinichi Iwahashi as the general producer, and it means that he can get better resources for the band than his debut single.

But in the eyes of the general public, they are more familiar with the song "まっすぐに..." (always forward) as the theme song of the ninth month of the month.

Although they didn't know that the song was sung by ZARD, for them, ZARD was just an unfamiliar symbol and didn't pay much attention to the band itself.

The next step was to take into account the quality of the songs, and on the other hand, to find ways to increase the popularity of the band and make the public accept "ZARD" as a band, not just listen to their songs.

The first step is the hardest, but the second step after that is not so easy. It's hard to let go until you set up a track for the band.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who has tasted the sweetness of the TV drama theme song and the fanfare, has no plans to change the packaging strategy for ZARD's next single for the time being, and he is trying to find a way to continue to fight for good publicity while the band is in full swing to produce the song.

Having said that, as for the next single, although it is still in production, a promotional position has already been booked - the movie "Kitchen" that Watanabe's office is producing.

Making movies is a matter for U-MIZ, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Watanabe have a tacit understanding of not interfering with each other, and they never ask her about filmmaking.

Now let's ask how it's going, to see if ZARD's new single fits the beat of her new movie.

"The filming is almost over, and there may be a few places to make up after that. Watanabe Manyumi told him, "I want to catch up with the spring break schedule here, so I will definitely go before the end of March." ”

As long as Ben's movie is made and a distribution company is willing to help arrange the film, it will definitely be released. It doesn't matter what was filmed, even if it was a "road movie" with the camera tied to the back seat of the bicycle.

The original work of "Kitchen", the sales are unbeatable, it has been selling well since last year, and over the years, it has caused a whirlwind among young people, and the author Yoshimoto Banana has become a "god" in the minds of countless young people.

When Watanabe Manyumi talked about the adaptation rights, although it was already popular, it was not to this point.

If she hadn't decided to do it after reading it, maybe the plan would have dragged on.

But now, instead, she wants to take advantage of the popularity of Yoshimoto Banana among young people to attract them to the cinema.

However, the plan is to return to the plan, and Watanabe Manyumi does not have much hope.

After all, the original work of "Kitchen" has no story, and the finished product is likely to be quite boring, and in the process of film production, the two partners of Ichikawa Jun and Iwai Shunji decided to focus on the erratic and unreliable atmosphere.

This kind of movie, if it is filmed, it can win awards and gain a loyal fan. If you don't shoot well, you will be urgently downgraded, and there will be no splash. But from beginning to end, the "high box office" was not included in the plan.

"Inamura received good reviews on the set. ”

Speaking of which, Watanabe Manyumi casually mentioned it to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Director Ichikawa-san said that this role seems to be tailor-made for her. ”

"If so, maybe she can win a newcomer award. Iwahashi said.

Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "At least, when I sell Inamura next, I have a business card." ”

After the movie was released, Izumi Inamura was well received by the industry, so she didn't lose this time.

Contrary to the situation faced by Shinichi Iwahashi when he wanted to sell ZARD, what Watanabe wanted to win for Izumi Inamura was not the support of the public, but the recognition of the industry.

"By the way, the actor who played with Inamura this time is still a musician. Watanabe Manyumi casually mentioned, "To be precise, it's a newcomer who aims to become a musician, but has made his debut as an actor." ”

"Really?"

"I sometimes go to the set to visit the class, and when I take a break, the ......," Watanabe said, first told him, "His name is 'Masaharu Fukuyama'." ”

"When he was resting, he would play his own original songs on the acoustic guitar. ”

Iwahashi listened, "The atmosphere of the photography team is quite good. ”

"Because there is no box office pressure......" Watanabe said half self-deprecatingly.

Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, looked at her and said, "That Fukuyama-kun plays the guitar well, and he sings well." ”

"Hmm. ”

Watanabe Manyumi remembered and said, "When I went to talk to President Dazato of AMUSE about cooperation before, President Dazato mentioned that I want to know what you think about the market for male SOLO. ”

"Me?"

Shinichi Iwahashi was suddenly asked, and he didn't know what to say for a while, "I haven't been in contact with male solo singers, and I haven't even made male idols." ”

"That's just as well. Watanabe nodded.

Although she didn't plan to continue this topic, she didn't plan to expose it like this, but still said: "Listening to President Dali's words, I don't oppose Fukuyama-kun as a musician so much." ”

In other words, Yoyoshi Osato also does not support or is optimistic about Masaharu Fukuyama making music.

"If Ichi-kun is interested, how about listening to Fukuyama-kun's songs next time I have the chance?"

Shinichi Iwahashi has nothing to do, "It doesn't matter if you just listen to it. ”

But meddling in the production of things, I don't have this intention for a while.

Now, most of his energy is focused on promoting the band of his record label, ZARD, who is about to take the next step, and BOLAN, who is waiting for his debut but has not yet decided on a route.

Now, he has a production contract with WINK, which is not his own company. This combination has also found the right route, and it is generally on track to follow, so as not to divide his energy too much.

Of course, Watanabe Manyumi suggested that he listen, which does not mean that he is optimistic about Masaharu Fukuyama. Just like when signing an actor, a talent scout will give away one business card after another on the streets where teenagers hang out, which is also a way to cast a wide net.

was dismissed by Masaharu Fukuyama's matter, and Shinichi Iwahashi pulled it back, "Regarding the promotion of ZARD's next single, I'm going to negotiate with the Star Office and let that side also contribute." ”

ZARD's band, when it was formed, the Xingchen Office didn't pay much attention to it, like a child picked up. Now that his debut has been successful, when Iwahashi Shinichi went to ask the Xingchen Office for "child support", he was more confident.

Watanabe Manyumi stood by and watched, "Then it's up to you, Shen Yijun." ”

"Okay, look at my ......," Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.

Speaking of which, the two talked about the script of the tricky show that Shinichi Iwahashi and the chubby young man were producing. U-MIZ got a summer special from TV Asahi, and as soon as April begins, it will go from talking on paper to the official preparation stage.

As he was talking, a phone rang along. Watanabe Manyumi went over to answer the phone.

The topic was only halfway over, and Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't leave, so he could only wait. Idle and bored, pondering in my heart, I remembered that I had promised Akina Nakamori that I would invite him to play in the trick show.

Since I agreed, I must honor it with her.

However, the promise was agreed, but Iwahashi Shinichi felt that it was too early to send out this card at the stage of testing the waters in the special file.

For this reason, we can only put it off for the time being and see how the show responds to testing the waters.
