A few days after the audition, the record company contacted the Sage Office, hoping to let Sachiko Kamaike participate in an audition for the band.

This invitation is almost to show that GenZo has fallen in love with Sachiko Kamaike.

The Xingchen Office gave away these eleven "cheap lottery tickets", but I didn't expect to really scratch one of them, and immediately coordinated with the record company to participate in the audition of Sachiko Kamaike.

It's set for 3 p.m. on Thursday in the rehearsal room of the record label.

The process of the co-performance is that Sachiko Kamaike sings two original songs by ABNORMAL, and then ABNORMAL accompanies Sachiko Kamaike and asks Sachiko Kamaike to sing two songs from other singers she likes.

At the same time as the audition was finalized, the record company brought the scores and auditions of the two original songs of ABNORMAL to the Xingchen Office and sent them to the Xingchen Office, so that Sachiko Kamaike could familiarize herself with the songs in advance.

By the way, the audition tape was sung with the help of Haruko Akamatsu.

As the only full-fledged female employee of the production company, the former lead singer who brought Sachiko Kamaike to Shinichi Iwahashi, and is familiar with ABNORMAL's songs......

In short, there was no one else for this task but her.

Similarly, Sachiko Kamaike also handed over the names of the songs of the other singers to be sung to the record company, and after the band got the songs, they rearranged and practiced them.

......

There are only three days left before Thursday, and Sachiko Kamaike has to practice the two songs in three days after getting the audition tape and sheet music from her agent.

Because the work of the model has been going on uninterruptedly, there is not much time that really belongs to her, so she can only go to the side alone to memorize lyrics and melodies when she is free.

There are no secrets between the little models, and besides, it's not a matter of secrecy. On the night that Sachiko Kamaike got the score, she was photographed to be the lead singer of the band, and it began to circulate among the little models.

For this matter, most of the little models have an attitude of watching the excitement.

For them, Sachiko Kamaike is going to go to an unknown record label, join a band they have never heard of, be the lead singer for them, and pretend to be cool on stage every day after that.

In such a job, it is better for them to be a model, show themselves in front of the camera, and be a flower butterfly shuttling through the world of flowers, which is more enjoyable and exciting.

Only Keiko Utoku felt a sense of loss after learning that Sachiko Kamaike had been set on the record company's side.

Utoku Keiko, who is the same age as Sachiko Kamaike, also understands a truth, that is, as she gets older, opportunities are gradually decreasing, and there will not be more and more.

Passing by an opportunity means that there is one less opportunity.

......

On Thursday afternoon, the members of the band went to the rehearsal room first. After coming, I started to adjust the instruments in advance and rehearse for the ensemble.

Since the beginning of this year, Tomohisa Kawazoe and Masaho Koyanagi have gone on tour separately, Tatsuya Hirakawa has stayed in the studio to help, and the teammates who used to perform together on stage all day spent a rare time together, and because of Sachiko Kamaike, they got together again.

In the past few days, the recording studio has been arranging music intensively, and this busy state has brought back the tacit understanding between the three of them and the comradeship of fighting side by side.

After coming over today, they immediately made preparations in their positions.

Neither Tomohisa Kawazoe nor Masagawa Koyanagi had met the new lead singer, and had only listened to her audition tape, so they had a rough impression of her.

However, in terms of Sachiko Kamaike's performance in the audition tape, the two are quite satisfied with the new lead singer who has never met.

Koyanagi Mashofa also said that he was originally a good man, whether it was Haruko Akamatsu or Sachiko Kamaike, as long as Tatsuya Hirakawa liked someone, he would accept it gently.

However, for Tomohisa Kawazoe, who once gave birth to leaving the band, he was willing to give up the idea of quitting, and now he appeared in the rehearsal room, which can already explain his attitude.

And Iwahashi Shinichi did not contact and talk to Tomohisa Kawazoe from beginning to end, but through Tatsuya Hirakawa's reassurance, not only did he pull out the seeds of Tomohisa Kawazoe as soon as they sprouted, but also preserved the dignity he left calmly.

......

At three o'clock in five minutes, the door to the rehearsal room was pushed open.

The first to come were Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe, and after a few brief greetings, Shinichi Iwahashi stepped aside and said outside the door, "Kamaike-san, please come in." ”

Sachiko Kamaike answered and walked into the rehearsal room.

Shinichi Iwahashi introduced the three musicians to her in turn, and the two sides greeted each other. Except for Sachiko Kamaike and Tatsu Hirakawa, who also had a relationship, the rest of the two sides met for the first time. Even if I want to become a colleague in the future, I am very polite and unfamiliar now.

After the brief politeness, Iwahashi Shinichi cut straight to the point, "Let's get started." ”

He was in charge of the entire audition, Tatsuya Hirakawa was in charge of communicating between his teammates and Sachiko Kamaike, while Manyumi Watanabe watched from the sidelines, waiting to see how the band would perform.

In addition to her as a spectator, there are also record company staff who set up cameras on the side, ready to record the next audition.

In addition to the record company's record, a copy of this record must be sent to the Star Office.

......

The audition went quite smoothly, and although when it came to the second song, Sachiko Kamaike was a little out of tune, so she stopped and started again, but overall, as a first ensemble, the performance was very good.

The three musicians of the band are also quite satisfied with the new lead singer. Tatsuya Hirakawa has long recognized her, and the good old man Koyanagi Shofa thinks this new lead singer is good this time.

It was Tomohisa Kawazoe, and a thought popped up in his heart.

This time, I signed an agency contract and a record contract, so there shouldn't be any more resignations, right?

Thinking of this, Tomohisa Kawazoe subconsciously glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi, who was talking to Sachiko Kamaike over there. I thought to myself, for the sake of this new lead singer, Iwahashi-san has established a record company, and he should never allow that kind of thing to happen.

It's no problem with Iwahashi-san.

Kawazoe Tomohisa unknowingly had such an impression of Shinichi Iwahashi in his heart.

Although I respected him before, it didn't reach the point of unconditional trust. If you think about it carefully, it seems that it was from the time I knew that he had established a record company that I was convinced of him as a person, and thought that there was no one more trustworthy than him.

After all, because you can't get an agency contract, you can simply set up a record company, and there are not many people who can do this.

This Iwahashi-san is really rock.

......

"It was a good performance, Kamaike-san. On the other side, Shinichi Iwahashi was communicating with Sachiko Kamaike.

After receiving the compliment, Sachiko Kamaike showed a humble expression.

"By the way," Iwahashi asked, "what is your impression of the three musicians who are performing together?"

Sachiko Kamaike thought for a moment before answering him: "The performance level of those three is very good, just now, I felt a little like I was dragging the band back." ”

"However, if I think about it differently, when I first joined the band and had no experience, I was just a little bit of a drag when I had no experience with experienced musicians, which was already beyond imagination. Shinichi Iwahashi told her.

Iwahashi Shinichi's words were gentle, and Sachiko Kamaike received the encouragement and replied, "Iwahashi-san will practice very hard, Iwahashi-san." ”

She made a promise, and she really looked like an honor student in school.

Iwahashi smiled with a smile, "It's certain to practice hard, but there is one thing, don't work hard in private." Whether it's singing or anything else, it's all scientific, and blind practice will cause problems. ”

In the long run, in order to make a singer's career longer, scientific voice must be grasped from the very beginning.

"But put those aside for ......"

Shinichi Iwahashi diverted the topic and beckoned Sachiko Kamaike to follow him and walk over to the three members of the band.

"The audition was pretty good. Shinichi Iwahashi praised the band.

After praising the band, let's get to the point.

"Next, I will work with the Xingchen Office to finalize the matter of the band, and at that time, Kamaike-san will officially become a member of the band. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "At that time, the three of you will also have a contract with the Star Office, and the record contract will stay at GenZo. ”

As soon as the record company was established, for Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe, as long as the record was in their hands, they would not suffer.

Not only that, but he put out the brokerage contract and became an artist affiliated to a certain office, and in order to make money, the office will also provide publicity help, which is mutually beneficial to the record company.

When he was three feet with Watanabe Manyumi, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to hook up with other firms. Now that the rope has been untied and a common record label has been established, it is safe to boldly put eggs in different baskets.

Of course, the reason why he dared to put his eggs in different baskets was also related to the strength and confidence he now has.

"Before signing and debuting, there is something I would like to ask the four of you to consider. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi asks them to give up the name ABNORMAL and give the band a new name.

The idea of changing the name of the band, Iwahashi Shin had it a long time ago, but first, the band's previous state of suspension was not easy to speak, and second, it was not yet time, so it was just right to bring it up now.

When he talked about it, the reaction of the three musicians was also like "it should be changed".

"It's good to change the name. Tomohisa Kawazoe said, "ABNORMAL is unlucky. ”

What he meant was obviously that the first lead singer of the band ran home, and the second lead singer suddenly decided to go behind the scenes, and the band was almost dragged to disbandment on the spot.

Tatsuya Hirakawa and Masaho Koyanagi, hearing Tomohisa Kawazoe's words, one looked helpless, and the other secretly smiled.

Sachiko Kamaike thought of Haruko Akamatsu, and Tomohisa Kawazoe's statement made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Shinichi Iwahashi ignored this meaning and continued to explain him, "Since we want to be a band with female lead singers, the market positioning is POPROCK, and the name of the band should be more catchy and acceptable." ”

A band with a name like ABNORMAL doesn't look like it's able to release songs that ordinary people can sing to their heart's content in karaoke.

"Anyway, I, and the four of you," Iwahashi Shinto Kabachi included, Sachiko Kamaike, "let's come up with a suitable band name, and if you have a good idea, you can come and tell me." Of course, it's best to decide before you officially sign a contract. ”

The four members of the band, including Sachiko Kamaike, all agreed.

Before officially joining the band, she was given the task of renaming the band. Shinchi Iwahashi has left the renaissance until now to give the new lead singer a sense of participation.

Regardless of whether this lead singer is Sachiko Kamaike or someone else, leaving this step is just waiting to go now.

Thinking of a new name for the band together is also the first "collective creation" between the four members of the band.

After the audition, Sachiko Kamaike is also ready to leave.

She didn't come by herself today, and the Xingchen Office also sent someone to follow. Supposedly, a small model is not eligible for a separate agent, but this time it is an exception.

After all, the Star Office was also curious about this project.

At this point, the members of the band began to pack their things.

Tatsuya Hirakawa put the guitar in the case, and when Shinichi Iwahashi saw his guitar, he suddenly asked, "Hirakawa-san, what type of guitar do you use?"

"What?" Tatsuya Hirakawa was stunned.

I couldn't guess why Shinichi Iwahashi had this question, so I could only answer him first, "Gibson's LesPaul is just a low-end model." ”

"Even then, it sounds expensive. Shinichi Iwahashi said.

Expensive guitars. When I went to see ORIGINALLOVE's show before, Takao Tajima used an expensive Gibson. In fact, it is easy to understand that musicians naturally pursue good instruments and instruments at hand.

"Is there any problem?" Tatsuya Hirakawa asked him.

Iwahashi shook his head, "It's fine, I'm a keyboard player, and naturally I prefer good instruments." ”

Of course, if you want to use a good instrument, you have to spend more money to buy it.

"I just thought about one thing. ”

This question, when he saw the expensive guitar in Takao Tajima's hand, Shinichi Iwahashi began to think about it. Today, seeing Tatsuya Hirakawa's guitar, the idea came back to me.

"I was thinking that expensive guitars were something that teenagers and freelancers with little income could dream of, but couldn't reach. ”

"So, I have an idea. "It doesn't matter when the studio is recording, but in the future, when the band performs live or on TV, Hirakawa-san and Kawazoe-san will also try to use domestic and affordable instruments." ”

Iwahashi's suggestion made the band a little confused.

Don't let you use expensive musical instruments?

Noticing their reactions, Iwahashi smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that you don't want to use expensive instruments, as long as you occasionally use affordable instruments and use a certain model of affordable instruments." ”

"That way, if a teenager or a freelancer with little income wants to form a band, they can afford to buy your band. Iwahashi said.
