After Manami Fujimura won a talent show held by NHK, NHK introduced BURNING and Sony Records.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong, an underworld force in the industry, has a close relationship with state-run Taiwan.

However, although Inomata Gongzhang, one of the judges at that time, accepted her as a foreign disciple, he was not very attentive to her.

According to Inomata Kosho, Manami Fujimura, who was 24 years old when she won the show and had been active as a folk singer in the Akita area for many years, has been stereotyped in all aspects, and there is no need to start with the basics.

And after the failure of her debut with luxurious configuration but no splash, there were many more voices from the firm and the company that were not optimistic about her.

BURNING's agent is not the only one in charge of Manami Fujimura, and now that her career is suspended, the agent simply put her aside first. However, Katsu Ikuta, the agent of the record company, supported her as always, and ran back and forth for her.

On Saturday, after Masatoshi Sakai informed him of Shinichi Iwahashi's idea, Katsu Ikuta left a message on the phone to Manami Fujimura informing her of the incident.

The next day, Manami Fujimura called him back. Katsu Ikuta told her that Iwahashi-san had met Masato Sakai once before and wanted to invite her to participate in his album.

I've only met once, so I hit her with the idea.

This incident was not only surprised by Ikuta Katsu, but Manami Fujimura also felt strange when he heard it.

However, accidents are accidents, and Manami Fujimura does not reject them. Unable to figure out what the young producer was going to do, curiosity prevailed, and when Katsu Ikuta said that she was going to meet Shinichi Iwahashi on Monday night, she asked Katsu Ikuta to tell her what the meeting was going to do.

Katsu Ikuta knew that she was a die-hard rock fan, and when the band affiliated with Sony Records held a concert in Tokyo, she asked Katsu Ikuta to ask for tickets for the related seats because she couldn't buy tickets.

She is uninhibited, and if there is a shortcut, she will be generous. Occasionally cunning but unmarketed, almost innocent.

"Fujimura has a gorgeous appearance and a sweet voice. Sakai Masatoshi and Iwahashi Shinichi said.

He called Katsu Ikuta to meet Shinichi Iwahashi, just under the idea of speaking freely. At this time, I didn't hide it, and talked about the direction of the new exit route that the studio and the record company had prepared for Manami Fujimura from the most basic places.

"The content of the song, roughly speaking, is 'sorrow', 'life', 'nostalgia', and 'festival'. Sakai gave a few rough examples.

Obviously, a woman of the type of Manami Fujimura is not suitable for singing about life insights and harvest festivals.

For singers, those singing festivals or traditional themes of hard work are destined to be devoid of women of her temperament. Sakai Masatoshi knew it in his heart, and he didn't even plan to let her try.

He opened his words, "I want her to sing a song of resentment, but not the heaviness of living and dying together, but the lingering sorrow that is destined not to achieve positive results." ”

Manami Fujimura doesn't feel like a virtuous wife who warms wine for her husband who returns from fishing and takes care of the housework inside and out, but like a lover who wears a kimono and carries an oil-paper umbrella and walks on the path with a silent man and has a bubble love.

"Ahh ”

When Iwahashi heard Sakai Masatoshi's statement, his heart moved.

He took the opportunity to mention it: "Sakai-san said that singing is about the bitterness and sweetness. Therefore, the singers have a lot of experience, which is a good thing for them to interpret the songs. ”

"That's right. Sakai nodded.

Shinichi Iwahashi continued, "I've heard Sakai-san talk about Fujimura-san's life experience before. At that time, I was thinking about one thing, the mysterious and unpredictable magical beauty, in the singing industry, I am afraid I can't find a singer like this. ”

At least with his understanding of the singing industry, he didn't expect such a number one person. - At least not among the singers who are active right now.

If it is according to Sakai Masatoshi's "singers have rich life experiences and are better" as the production creed, Fuji Ayako's life experience of being stunned for a moment when anyone listens to it is really "rare".

"Hmm......" Sakai Masatoshi didn't answer.

Hearing the current Ikuta Katsu, his expression began to change slightly.

Fujimura Manami's ex-husband committed suicide for her, Ikuta Katsu is clear, the record company and the office, and there are many people on both sides who know about it, but it is bluntly mentioned by such an outsider, and I still feel offended when I hear it in his ears.

Ikuta Katsuyo believed that Manami Fujimura would definitely become popular, so he ran back and forth to get her on the right track, including coming to meet the young producer and hearing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

But in private, he has deep sympathy and a faint affection for this coquettish and innocent woman.

If Manami Fujimura was present, Iwahashi Shinichi would have some scruples, but now, he didn't know and didn't care about Ikuta's thoughts, and he said his own.

"In Akita, Fujimura-san's hometown, her divorced ex-husband committed suicide for her, and when it fell on her, it became an ugly thing that made her a monster in the eyes of others. ”

"But," he paused, finally telling what he really thought, "the witch who made men die willingly for her." This is also a personal style that only Fujimura-san has, and no one can replace it. ”

Sakai Masatoshi heard what he meant, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"It's brutal. ”

Ikuta Katsu listened and felt ridiculous. I began to wonder what the hell this young producer was going to do?

Shinichi Iwahashi heard his protest and looked over.

Tonight, Sakai Masatoshi spoke freely, but this agent didn't have anything to say, just listened from the sidelines, occasionally made a sentence or two of additions, and barely expressed his own opinions, leaving the impression that Shinichi Iwahashi didn't like to chat very much.

This "cruel" accusation was his first opinion tonight.

However, Iwahashi Shinichi continued, "Anyway, there was a man who committed suicide for Fujimura-san. It's a fact. ”

"......" Ikuta Katsu didn't answer.

"It's also a fact, so as long as Fujimura-san is a little famous, the weekly will definitely not let go of this gossip. Iwahashi Shinkashi said, "Not only that......"

will also use this matter as a curious gossip to hype up.

Therefore, as long as Manami Fujimura wants to mix in the entertainment world, this matter cannot be hidden.

Not only that, the first time Shinichi Iwahashi heard Sakai Masatoshi talk about her, he believed that Manami Fujimura himself didn't care much about it.

In an era when celebrities are a little famous, and even ugly photos of him in kindergarten can be provided to TV stations by enthusiastic people, if Manami Fujimura is really the kind of woman who thinks this is unseemly, she will not choose the bigger stage of Tokyo.

And all of Iwahashi's ideas are based on Sakai Masatoshi's plan for her route and his speculation about Manami Fujimura's thoughts.

Fujimura-san's office is BURNING. Ikuta Katsu heard Iwahashi Shinichi's meaning of "concealing useless", and the discomfort in his heart lightened, and explained: "Zhou Fang-san has a strong ability to control the media, and when the time comes, BURNING will come forward." ”

"I KNOW THE POWER OF BURNING. Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "But, can Fumiharu shut up too?"

Wenchun's power left Ikuta Katsu speechless for a while.

"So, there's no point in hiding it. "However, I don't mean to make a big deal about it. There is no reason that others don't mention it, and they expose themselves first. ”

"Now, let's get back to the project I'm going to make. He changed his words, "Sakai-san wants Fujimura-san to sing a sad and lingering song." My idea was to make a song based on 'Fujimura-san is a mysterious and magical beauty'. ”

"Neither deliberately avoiding her past, nor deliberately publicizing her past, but openly spreading her past as a part of who she is. ”

Let this magical beauty cooperate with the fragile beautiful man of Moritomo Lanshi. Even if this cooperation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will not affect her re-debut, but let her start the debut road that she has prepared.

This project is an attempt to change the face of the singer who has become famous, and for her, it is to pave the way for her re-debut.

NOT ONLY FOR HER, BUT ALSO FOR BOLAN.

Let her, a mysterious and unpredictable magical beauty, and the fragile beauty Mori Yu Lanshi complement each other, which further shows the charm of BOLAN and enriches BOLAN's image.

If the cooperation between BOLAN and Fuji Ayako is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will not affect her re-debut, but will make a good start for her re-debut. The same is true for BOLAN.

"In other words, let Fujimura not shy away from her 'demonic' side in the song?" Sakai Masatoshi listened with relish.

However, the addition of this side has made the route she is going to take more three-dimensional.

"There are all kinds of women in the song, and witches are not unusual. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Dafang took a part of her life as the charm of the song 'Bitterness and Sweetness', and skillfully integrated it into the song. In this way, even if her past is discovered by the media after becoming popular, it will only be used as the last piece of the puzzle to complete her route. ”

If it is deliberately concealed, once it is dug up, the image will completely collapse. But from the very beginning, she mapped out her route with her true side, and the past was part of her route.

This is also a type of "safety cushion".

"Yours is the case. Sakai muttered and picked up his glass.

Ikuta Katsu listened from the side, speechless the whole time. I didn't know if I was going to say that this Iwahashi-san was whimsical, and I started to say something else about him......

However, at the beginning of the "cruel" accusation, Ikuta Katsu wanted to take it back.

......

I didn't count the things I talked about while drinking, but at most I exchanged ideas with each other, and I had to discuss with BURNING, Sony, and Manami Fujimura herself before we could make a final decision.

At this point, Shinichi Iwahashi did everything he could, and could only wait for the final response.

Katsu Ikuta promised Manami Fujimura the contents of the conversation to her—in fact, it was necessary to relay the conversation that had been going on around her.

“...... Anyway, that's what Iwahashi-san was going to do. Katsu Ikuta relayed Shinichi Iwahashi's words.

Manami Fujimura listened to it and smiled: "You want me to sing with the band?" looked at the worried Ikuta Katsu and asked, "What does Ikuta-san think?"

"That's what I want to ask. Ikuta Katsu smiled wryly, "What do you think?"

"Me?" Manami Fujimura was stunned, as if she didn't understand what Ikuta Katsu meant. After a while, he slowly said, "I don't mind being known about the past." If you mind, you'll live incognito. ”

"But making the past its own character is not the same thing as not hiding it. For some reason, Ikuta Katsu hopes that she can reveal her embarrassment about the past than a person who doesn't care about the past at all.

Manami Fujimura laughed. She smiled, and people looked even more coquettish. Ikuta Katsu's gaze stayed on her face, but she didn't want to, what she said next was:

"Ikuta-san doesn't know me yet. ”

"Ahh "Katsu Ikuta seemed to be suddenly knocked on the head by something.

A little confused, a little painful, and a little annoyed.

"Takahashi's life is Takahashi's. Manami Fujimura was calm.

Takahashi is her ex-husband's last name. She continued, "If I had avoided the past, wouldn't it be like my life had been swallowed up by him, and if I hid for Takahashi's sake, then I would have been buried with him." ”

It was because of her ex-husband's suicide that she wanted to live more beautifully. The more the world felt that it was strange for a man to die for her, the more she had to be frank. Manami Fujimura's mentality is somewhat of a sense of fighting for a breath.

However, after listening to Manami Fujimura's words, Ikuta Katsu felt a chill in his heart.

She's more ruthless than she thinks......

"To be honest, I'm also a little impressed by Iwahashi-san's proposal. Putting aside his concerns about Manami Fujimura's thoughts, Katsu Ikuta revisited Shinichi Iwahashi's words.

According to him, it is a suitable path. ”

Ikuta Katsu said, as if to drive away the cold just now, and half-jokingly: "That Iwahashi-san seems to be very good at bringing singers who don't sell well back to life." If you really listen to him, maybe you can get the good luck of that person and become popular. ”

"Really?" Manami Fujimura smiled, "Then I'm going to have to look forward to it." ”

Katsu Ikuta hopes that Manami Fujimura will become popular. As an agent, he believes that Manami Fujimura has the potential to become popular, and hopes to rely on his hands to make her popular.

"After that, Ikuta-san will be left to him. Manami Fujimura said, "I'll cooperate." ”

......

"You've become a producer!"

Fuyumi Sakamoto looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, who was sitting across from him, with an incredulous expression.

"Sakamoto-san is too, he is already a singing star that cannot be underestimated. ”

As soon as Iwahashi Shinichi said his words, Fuyumi Sakamoto couldn't help but laugh, "Iwahashi-san and I, are you going to praise each other like this?"

"It's not impossible. Shin Iwahashi was half joking and half serious.

The former little driver and the little girl with the bag sat together again after a long time, smiling at each other.
