241. Another Opportunity
Shinichi Iwahashi was impressed by the "Event Jewelry Booth" band, and likewise acknowledged and appreciated their talents.
Although the heart of the anxious performance is bad, such a band is more suitable than any band to hide and polish before debuting.
The so-called teaching students according to their aptitude is like this, excellent bands may not find a suitable promotion method and may hit the streets, and mediocre bands may become popular because of a suitable sales method.
In addition, Takao Tajima is very creative, and his rich reserves and changeable style even make Iwahashi feel that he can be a full-time songwriter rather than a lead singer.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you are not a full-time songwriter, you can also give music to others. With the signing of a new band, Manyumi Watanabe has a new seedling, and Shinichi Iwahashi can also be said to have another composer who can output stably.
......
The members of the band have been in the underground music circle for many years, and they are very familiar with the name of Shinichi Iwahashi, because they are convinced of him, and their hearts to sign are a little firmer. After signing the contract, because of the relationship between GENZO and U-MIZ, it was natural for him to come here to help.
Although ORIGINAL LOVE failed to challenge, it cannot be said that he was defeated by the human chair, although in Takao Tajima's heart, if he failed to succeed in the challenge by seeing the human chair as an opponent, it was equivalent to losing to the human chair.
Iwahashi Shinichi can also speak, and his statement about this matter is, "You are not losing to the chair of the world, but yourself." ”
It's okay to say that it's a step down the band, but after saying that, the people of ORIGINAL LOVE have faded a little bit of awkwardness about going to the human chair as a backband.
"BUT," IWAHASHI SHROUDED IN HIS WORDS, "TO USE THE HUMAN CHAIR AS A BACKBAND NOW IS NOT SO MUCH TO HELP THEM AS TO SEE IT AS AN ALTERNATIVE COMPETITION, AND I CAN'T LOSE TO THEM." ”
He deliberately changed his words, and under his nudge, he subtly aroused the strength of Takashi Murayama, thinking that if he dragged the hind legs of the chair in the world, it would be like losing to them, so he must go all out.
That's it, instead of that awkward twist, it quickly put Murayama Takashi into the state.
After the recording ended, Shinichi Iwahashi invited everyone to a late-night snack and ate some oden. After the big event, just like the two sides shook hands after the game to show friendship first, the atmosphere between the people seemed quite harmonious, and the meal was lively.
Once the recording is all over, the singers will have to work over, and the producers will have to spend two more days in the studio working overtime to sort out the tracks before sending them to the mixing room.
During this period, CBS Sony was also ready to contact the printing plate factory to prepare the production line for pressing. This time is special, there is no plan for the production of LPs and tapes, and all 10,000 copies are CDs.
As for this, it was mainly due to cost considerations, but also to cooperate with CBS Sony's CD promotion plan.
......
Day after day.
After sleeping in the studio for several nights in a row, Shinichi Iwahashi, who had a good night's rest in his bed at home, got up in the morning, opened the curtains, and saw snowflakes floating outside the window.
It's not so much a snowflake as a fine piece of snow.
Looking at the calendar, December is already halfway past and 1987 is coming to an end.
In the last half month, in addition to the usual daily work, there is also a reception or appreciation party to participate in almost every day, and even GENZO organizes it himself.
Haruko Akamatsu and Miwa Yoshida, two girls, were entrusted with the task of writing a dozen and dozens of New Year's postcards and mailing them out. After I started working alone, even the cost of postcards increased exponentially.
And Iwahashi Shinichi himself was busy between one reception and one thank-you meeting after another.
During this period, the production team of TV Asahi began to prepare for the band's New Year's special program - during the New Year, turn on the TV, and various New Year's programs and New Year's special programs dominate the screen, and they are naturally no exception.
The content of the special program is not complicated, and the bands with the top three scores in each episode of the previous bands are selected to perform live in the Youth Hall, and it is publicly announced that telephone registration from the audience will be accepted.
By the time the special program was broadcast, the single of the human chair had almost been completed, and it was just the opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to promote.
While preparing for the special program, the band BEGIN once again held the winner's throne in the latest episode of the program, surpassing the human chair, winning three consecutive victories, and making solid progress towards the throne of the first champion.
The last episode of the show year ago is on the 26th, and if BEGIN can win again, then it will be refreshed to four consecutive wins, and the fifth game that will decide whether they will go on the way to the championship or fall short will be revealed as a suspense after the year. At the moment, no one doubts that they will win, or that the band has a bit of a hopeful deem.
Either way, they all have the quality to please the public.
In competitions, the bronze medal is more satisfying than the silver medalist.
In the show, for the audience, the championship match, which is only one step away, can arouse their expectations than the group selection competition, and even the production team is willing to see this suspense continue to the next year.
With such expectations, it seems logical that BEGIN can get a fourth week of consecutive wins.
During this time, Watanabe Manyumi told Shinichi Iwahashi about something.
Speaking of which, the two of them are now working towards a goal on three feet, and at the end of the year, there are many activities to attend together, so it can be said that they don't look up and see each other all day long.
Watanabe Manyumi told him that Yoyoshi Osato, the president of AMUSE, had a little bit of an imperative agreement with BEGIN.
In fact, the potential of BEGIN has always been seen by those in the representative table, not only the brokerage contract, but also the record contract to make those record companies "eye".
Putting aside the record contract, involving the brokerage contract, is what Watanabe Manyumi wants to pay attention to.
However, compared to AMUSE, U-MIZ obviously does not have the strength to compete. What's more, AMUSE, who had a lot of support for them during the birth of the show, was interested in it, and Watanabe Manyumi also had to take this into account.
It's okay not to talk about it, but it reminded Shinichi Iwahashi.
"BEGIN's momentum is very good right now, and if it does debut, maybe the results will be worth seeing. However, even if we can't get a brokerage deal, we can take advantage of other opportunities. ”
"Another chance?"
"Yes, right in there. Iwahashi said.
