Daikoku Maki has made up his mind to come to Iwahashi Shinichi's side, and even when he reported to his family in Hokkaido, he was reminded that the company was small and that the future was unknown after signing the contract, but he still didn't change his mind.

There is no doubt that what supports her determination is out of trust in Shinichi Iwahashi.

When I was watching the music festival, I decided to come to Tokyo after graduating from high school, and in the past three years, I have experienced being humiliated and degraded by Nagato Daiyuki, and now my dream has come true, which is of special significance to Daikoku Maki.

The lawyer was present and explained the contents of the contract to Daikoku Moki one by one.

The first term is the customary five-year contract for newcomers, and the standard 28 points are also given to newcomers, with a small fixed salary every month to support their lives, and the company has her right of first refusal to renew her contract, as well as the right of first refusal to buy her songs.

In addition, she will receive various training arranged by the company before and after her debut, and the training fee will be paid in advance by the company, and it will be recycled after her debut and release the record.

It's not a strict deed of sale, but it's not a good condition, and it's a standard fixed template in the industry.

After listening to this, Daikoku Moji had no objection and took out his seal.

First sign a record contract with Shinichi Iwahashi, and then decide where to put the agency contract before his debut, and entrust the selection of the office to the record company, and GENZO will act as the introducer to decide on the appropriate office.

Of course, the preferred office at this stage is U-MIZ of Manyumi Watanabe.

However, Iwahashi Shinichi is not in a hurry.

Anyway, now that she has signed, Watanabe Manyumi has to pay her an extra basic salary.

A good partner knows that she is a domineering president, and also intimately helps her save every penny, even though the money cannot go into her own purse.

In addition, Iwahashi Shinichi may not have taken into account the route of Daikokumoki's debut and the requirements for publicity resources.

The more he thought about it, the less anxious he became.

On the day they first met, Daikoku Maki expressed his ambition to Shinichi Iwahashi and wanted to make his debut as a singer-songwriter. Coming to sign the contract today, she said it to Shinichi Iwahashi again.

After experiencing the demeaning suppression of Nagato Daiyuki, and even beginning to doubt himself, such a Daikokuma Ki, after regaining the affirmation and encouragement of Iwahashi Shinichi, was shaken and more determined than before he met Nagato Daiyuki.

A subtle, cleanliness idea. It's as if someone who has been hurt will raise the demands on the next relationship.

Iwahashi Shinichi wants to sign Daikoku Moki, but he doesn't have an idea in advance about how to arrange her debut.

He started out as an idol producer, and then launched a band, and if he reluctantly said, the only experience of selling SOLO singers was a failed sales pitch after he just decided to become a Miwa-chan agent.

Daikoku Moji can create by himself, and he can write lyrics and songs, but his appearance conditions are ordinary, with slightly dark skin and a slightly chubby face, he has nothing to do with beauties, but he is an absolute powerhouse.

From this point of view, it's a bit similar to Miwa-chan before her debut, not a beauty, but a talented woman.

Looking at Daikoku Moki, who is determined to be a SOLO singer, reminds Shinichi Iwahashi of scolding him at the charlatan agent who dislikes her for not being a beauty so she can't sell her debut.

After the past few years, the SOLO market is still not good. Among the singer-songwriters, there are still a few male singers who stand out, but Shinichi Iwahashi, a best-selling female singer-songwriter who has debuted recently, can't even think of such a person.

Dahei Moji wants to be a singer-songwriter and take the absolute power, and the difficulty of this road can be imagined.

"When I was in my hometown in Hokkaido, I also formed a band. Daikoku Moki said.

Iwahashi Shinichi listened, "Daikoku-san is from Hokkaido. ”

"It's a country kid from Sapporo. She smiled heartily. said that he was a country child, but looking at his expression, he was quite proud of his background.

"Coincidentally. Shinichi Iwahashi also smiled, "Our Yoshida-san is also from Sapporo. ”

Daikoku Moki nodded, "I know." I used to participate in the Sapporo Association and heard everyone mention Yoshida-san. ”

It's a fellow villager of Miwa Sauce.、It's also a girl with outstanding creative ability and good looks.,Iwahashi Shin heard her say this.,I actually had a little affection for her.。

However, compared to Miwa-chan, who will let go of herself if she is not restricted, Daikokumoki's creation is more reassuring and more popular.

In addition, Daikoku Moki also knows two instruments, piano and guitar, and can match chords to his own songs.

Relying only on the favor of the god of inspiration and then humming it out with his mouth, Miwa-chan is unique.

"Before Yoshida-san debuted, he also wanted to be a singer-songwriter. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi said to Daikoku Moki, "However, there is no market for female SOLO, so I promoted her for a while, and I found it very difficult. It just so happened that it was easier for bands to operate in the underground music circle, so they formed a band. ”

Although he took off his waistcoat in front of Daikoku Moki, it also allowed Shinichi Iwahashi to speak freely to her, revealing his identity as a giraffe man, and telling her about him and Miwa-chan.

Daikoku Maki listened to Iwahashi Shinichi talk about forming a band in an inaccessible tone, but he could feel that he was actually very proud of this decision. In addition to this, there is also his unconcealed admiration for Miwa Yoshida.

It's because of this appreciation that she can do anything for her, and she has to do it to form a band.

"If I could meet Iwahashi-san, I would like to form a band and be the lead singer. "Dahei Moji is sincere.

Hearing her say this, Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, but he was thinking in his heart that the little fox with the mouse carrying the gun, he just had enough to bear the one with Miwa-chan.

"But if I don't meet teammates like Iwahashi-san, I don't want to form a band with anyone. "She speaks directly enough, and she doesn't think about whether she will offend people later.

If this sentence spreads, and then the company arranges a band for her, and the musicians sent to her side will first have to digest her sentence "any person".

The eldest lady of Hokkaido speaks and acts straightforwardly, and she doesn't know when she offends people like this.

"It's not easy to be a singer-songwriter. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't care about her direct attitude, and analyzed with her, "However, singer-songwriter also has another benefit. "I became my own person, and Daikoku Moki is such a frank and straightforward personality, and Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't go around in circles," That is, the cost of a singer-songwriter's debut is relatively low. ”

The songs are written by themselves, the lyrics are written by themselves, and the batch work of arranging is paid at one time, saving the company the money to help buy the music. If you can't go to the idol faction, you can only take the powerful route, which saves all kinds of costs for gorgeous packaging.

If you want to save the time, the album cover and inside pages can even be taken casually on the side of the road or in the alley near the company.

If it is such a minimalist configuration, it will basically sell a few thousand copies to return to the cost, and you will make a profit if you can sell 10,000 copies. Later, if the song created by the singer is sold to other people to sing, once the song becomes popular, it can make a lot of money.

Launching a singer-songwriter is not a big investment for a record company. Because of this, singer-songwriters can often hit the streets a few more times than non-singer-songwriters – because of the low cost.

"So, it's no problem to make your debut as a singer-songwriter. I can't let you debut right away because you're not at the level where you can make your debut. Shin Iwahashi said softly, "After signing the contract, I will ask you to receive systematic training." ”

"Yes. Daikoku Moki listened.

The level is not enough to make a debut. This is something that was talked about when we first met. But for Daikoku Moki, the point is that Shinichi Iwahashi promised her that she could make her debut as a singer-songwriter.

"Of course, if you want to launch a singer, you must hope that the singer will sell well. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi said the word "big selling", looked at Daikoku Moki, and saw that she did not show resistance, and he felt more confident in his heart, knowing that this was not an "Atyste".

"In my opinion, only when the song sells well, can more people hear it. Making it accessible to more people and enjoying it is the highest compliment for pop music makers. ”

He continued, "However, no matter how the singer-songwriter sells the song itself, no matter how he sells you and what kind of market he has in the market, there is no doubt that Daikoku-san is the absolute center. ”

"Absolute central. When Dahei Moji heard this, his heart was surging.

From these words, what she felt was not pressure, but a considerable momentum.

"In short, please don't stop creating while you train. ”

"However, I think the most important thing for a singer-songwriter is to have a unique, irreplaceable personality and style. So, I won't restrict Daikoku-san's personality or dictate your creations, so please be yourself. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi's request for Daikokumo is also to "be yourself".

Of course, that doesn't mean she's letting herself go. After all, he is the one who decides what song she wants to use to make her debut, and he is the one who decides what route she wants to take.

Daikokumo has a strong personality, however, Shinichi Iwahashi does not intend to wear away her personality and believes that personality is always a precious thing. Of course, the necessary polishing for the general public to make a debut cannot be omitted.

And what he thinks about is to make appropriate corrections on the premise of retaining her personality to find that "balance".

The phrase "be yourself" made Daikoku Maki think of the self-contained Sachiko Kamaike on stage who didn't look like the lead singer of a rock band when he went to see a ZARD performance, but he subtly felt that he should be like this.

Could it be, Iwahashi-san also said that to Kamaike-san? The thought flashed through her, and she put Sachiko Kamiike aside and threw herself into the conversation with Shinichi Iwahashi.

"Iwahashi-san, I also think, or rather, I have the confidence that I can write a song that more people can hear and deserve to be heard. ”

"I'll try. "She's confident and motivated.

When Shinichi Iwahashi first promoted Miwa-chan, he was poor and couldn't knock on the door of the record company, but now that he has his own record company, he also wants to try to promote SOLO singers again.

Of course, this sales pitch is not unrelated to Daikoku Moji's strong desire to debut as a singer-songwriter.

Her strong personality, if she really found musicians to form a band for her, there was a high probability that she would not be able to complete the run-in with the musicians, and she reluctantly formed a team, and the tacit understanding of the members should not be even considered.

She can write and sing by herself, she is not stage frightened, and she has no requirements for the creative team, so it is just right for her debut as a SOLO singer.

Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to reuse Daikoku Maki, partly because she really had that kind of talent, and on the other hand, he wanted to explore a way to sell SOLO singers with this girl who was an excellent SOLO singer in every way.

......

signed Daihei Moji, and then arranged various training for her before her debut.

To practice vocal music, to learn musical instruments, to arrange for auditions in the recording studio, she is a singer-songwriter, and even arrange for her to simply learn the arrangement and understand the arrangements of the routine.

It's not that she has high hopes for the lyrics, composition and arrangement, but if you really want to say it, there are only a few singers who can do it all. However, knowing a little about the arrangement will help her in her later creation, singing, etc.

Iwahashi Shinichi also plans to send Daikoku Moki to study abroad in the future.

Of course, he doesn't have to go through these things one by one, naturally there are responsible people to do it, he just needs to regularly inspect the study progress of Daikoku Moji and listen to the songs she composes.

After completing the contract with Daikokumoki, Iwahashi Shinichi took time out to do another thing. He consulted with Sato of RIBON, hoping that Sato would introduce him to meet Cherry.

The reason given is also very legitimate.,Since you're going to take over the animation soundtrack of "Cherry Maruko", in the production of the theme song, I want to hear the thoughts of Cherry Son herself.

When he went to Kobe to play golf, Sato mentioned that BEING's Nagato Daiyuki went to find Sakura herself.

Iwahashi Shinichi listened to the "crackling crackling" and watched the "Cherry Maruko" anime, and felt in his heart that there was no more suitable choice than this song.

In particular, I already know that this song has a master's name, and it is in the hands of BEING, and BEING's Nagato Daiyuki also intends to make the animated theme song of "Cherry Maruko".

Nagato Daiyuki has to bypass the manga editorial department and the animation production committee to contact Cherry Child, and wants to play the original author's card to get the production rights of the theme song.

Since the reason why the president of Nagato fought for the production rights was that he was a fan of the manga, so he wrote a song for the manga, and Iwahashi decided to push the boat down the river, and also borrowed the power of the author of Cherry Child, and contacted BEING through her to discuss the use of BEING's song as the theme song of the anime.

Although because GENZO and Amoto Animation are brother companies, the production rights of the theme song cannot be given to other forces.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi is willing to help Daiyuki Nagado fulfill his wish that if the manga can be animated, I hope to consider using their company's tunes.

He made up his mind and asked Sato to help pull the strings. It's not a big deal, and Sato is happy to agree.

Later, Sakura also expressed her willingness to meet Shinichi Iwahashi.
