After a brief pleasantry, Ikeda picked up the bill. Coming out of the store, he went to drive, and Daikoku Maki and Kamiya were standing on the side of the road waiting.

As soon as they met just now, Ikeda praised Daikoku Moki, and Kamiya listened to it, and it was clear that it was not him who was being praised, but he couldn't help but follow suit.

The illusory pleasure of putting oneself on the strong side and indulging in the success of others is the easiest to obtain.

On the way to BEING's company, Daikoku Maki and Ikeda, who met for the first time, had a great conversation, and the two of them talked about music, and they didn't have anything to say. Although Kamiya is half-, he can't be said to be a layman.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was harmonious, as if the dawn of victory was just around the corner. Of course, this meeting is still hidden from Ryoko. When Kamiya called Daikoku Moki, he vigorously told her to keep it a secret.

However, although Daikoku Moki promised Kamiya to keep it a secret from Ryoko. But in front of Kamiya, she is not without secrets.

Kamiya called her and asked for a trial tape on the day that Daikoku Moki was sorting out his audition tape and wanted to send a copy to Shinichi Iwahashi's record company.

On the day she delivered the audition tape to Kamiya, a courier came to her door and picked up the package she was going to send to GenZo.

Daikoku Moki is looking forward to the fact that the audition tape can be sent to Iwahashi Shinichi, so that she can meet Iwahashi Shinichi. Sit face to face with him and figure out the answers to the questions in her mind.

This answer is crucial.

......

BEING's company is based in Roppongi and has been established for more than 10 years this year. In the past few years, it has always been a brick on call in the music industry, although it can be used from time to time, and it does come in handy, but no one has explored the name of a brick.

It wasn't until he produced the tube for CBS Sony, which was all in charge of BEING from start to finish, and the band's commercial success, that it was truly famous in the music industry, and it was no longer just an anonymous brick on call.

Ikeda leads Kamiya and Daikoku Moji upstairs together—Kamiya didn't expect to be able to go with him to meet President Nagato, and he was both happy and apprehensive.

The president of the company that worked as a production team for LOUDNESS and BOOWY, he is the biggest person Kamiya has ever seen in the music industry. He is full of the talent of Daikomo Ji to impress the president of Nagato, and Bole is a beautiful idea of helping her show her talents-

"Daikoku Moji-san?"

Nagato looked at the young girl, who was a shoulder behind Ikeda. His gaze only lingered briefly on Kamiya when Ikeda introduced her as Daikokumoki's friend, and then turned his attention to the young girl.

The first impression is that she is really an ordinary girl who has nothing to say, and even makes him feel unhappy in his heart.

If it was an ordinary girl in every way, it would have been better - it would not have come to him at all. Can ...... now

"Hello President Nagato. Daikoku Moki greeted politely, but he straightened up and felt awkward in his heart at the gaze of Kamichoto Daiyuki.

In Nagato Daiyuki's eyes, there was a sense that he was weighing her a few catties and taels.

Because of his admiration for LOUDNESS and BOOWY, Daikoku Moki is not very enthusiastic about becoming the lead singer of the band, but he is full of expectations for the president of Nagato, whom he has never met.

As a result, I really met, but I felt a little empty.

However, after all, he is the president of Nagato who has worked with LOUDNESS and BOOWY. Not only is he the biggest person in the music industry Kamiya has ever seen, but it is also a rare opportunity for Daikoku Moki to hear from senior professionals.

Because of respect for Nagato Daiko, Daikoku Moki was extraordinarily frank in front of the president of Nagato who met for the first time, and generously explained his thoughts and concepts about music to him, hoping to get a little bit of dialing-

As a result, such a strong personality is in the minefield of Nagato Daiyuki. Especially not long ago, he suffered a little from Takahiro Matsumoto, and it was when he was unhappy with this kind of personality.

Takahiro Matsumoto is an old man who has been in the industry for many years, but this kind of guy who has just come to Tokyo from the countryside and doesn't know the height of the sky, what qualifications does he have to show such a self-righteous personality in front of him?

Let's just say that the newcomer with a blank sheet of paper is the most annoying.

"I've heard Daikoku-san's audition tape ......," Nagato Daiyuki began to consider the words.

Whether it's Daikokumoki, Ikeda or Kamiya, they all look like they're listening carefully.

"With all due respect, after listening to the audition tape, I thought you wouldn't be the lead singer of the band I wanted to organize. You're welcome, whether it's as a lead singer or a SOLO singer...... None of them passed. ”

As soon as Nagato Daiyuki opened his mouth, it was a spicy and merciless comment.

After waiting for a long time, waiting for such words, Daihei Moji felt a little stunned. Kamiya's eyes widened, and Ikeda, who admired Daikoku Maki and recommended her to Nagato Daiyuki, felt even more at a loss.

Nagato Daiyuki's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he thought that he didn't have the slightest emotion, and he just talked about things.

He has two important criteria for selecting the lead singer of a new band, one is to be good-looking, and the other is to be obedient to him. Daikoku Moki is obviously not related to "good looks", and her personality is so strong that it is annoying, and it is absolutely impossible for her to become the lead singer of this band that he has high hopes for.

If you don't want to be a lead singer, you will not be able to debut alone as a solo singer. SOLO singers are highly competitive and difficult to get ahead. Her looks and figure are not very good, and it is difficult to stand out.

Besides, if she really wants to make her debut as a solo singer, with her strong personality, it will only be more difficult to handle at that time.

It would be better if she was a girl with ordinary looks, talents, and singing skills. Nagato Daiyuki came up with the idea again. Ordinary girl, not worth his extra look.

But now, Nagato Daiyuki remembers the test tape of her song that he heard, and the sound potential is good, and that song is a bit flavorful in all fairness...... The more I thought about how talented she was, and then looked at her ordinary face and reminisced about the strong personality she had just shown, it made Nagato Daiyuki feel unhappy. It's just a tasteless piece of chicken ribs that is a pity to throw away.

"In my opinion, it's not a question of how good you sing, but you don't know what kind of job singing as a singer is at all - it's not as simple as just letting you express yourself. ”

Nagato Daiyuki's mind spun quickly, "At your current level, you can only be a harmony in the studio." ”

He didn't look down on Dahei Moji, but he didn't want to push her out. Anyway, the songs written by this girl still have a bit of flavor. It's not bad to leave her behind, to stay behind the scenes, and to be a songwriter.

However, with the strong personality she shows, she is obviously not willing to be a person in black behind the scenes.

If you talk about it on the spot, everything will end here, it's better to belittle her first, and then leave a possibility of "there is still room for improvement" to hang her.

After leaving her, polish her for a few years, polish off her annoying personality, and see how far she can grow......

Even at worst, she could be a backing vocalist in the studio for a few years. If you can really polish it, it will be better to become a composer in the company. When the time comes, as a reward for her, it is not impossible to fulfill her dream of being a singer and release two records.

Nagato Daiyuki has a stable abacus, he holds up the old qualification shelf, and earnestly teaches Daikoku Moki, "It's not easy to become a singer and make your debut, it's not the same thing as singing on the stage of LIVEHOUSE." ”

He belittled Daihei Moji, and then appeased her at the right time, giving her a new choice that was not even discounted. This set of techniques under control, Nagato Daiyuki is very proficient in using it.

"Anyway, you should consider taking a look. If you have such a will, you can come to work at BEING first, learn and learn slowly, and sooner or later you will understand what a 'real singer' is like. Nagato Daiyuki finally made a gesture.

Daikoku Moki glared at Nagato Daiyuki's face with a non-negotiable expression.

Kamiya was anxious, glanced at her, and couldn't guess what she was thinking. His eyes moved to Nagato Daiyuki again, and when he saw his "foregone conclusion" face, his heart suddenly burst into flames.

Is there something wrong with this Ojisan, his head?

What kind of person can open his eyes and tell nonsense, and belittle a natural singer like Moji-chan to worthlessness.

Kamiya, who was intoxicated by Daikokumoki's talent and waited to share the joy of her victory, felt as if cold water was constantly pouring cold water on his head when Daikoku Maki was belittled by Nagato Daiyuki.

This strong loss made him feel at the bottom of the long-term president in front of him, who he once admired.

......

"I turned out to be so unworthy in front of professional producers. ”

It wasn't until he said goodbye to Nagato Daiyuki and went down from the floor where BEING was located that Daikoku Moki finally spoke. was so belittled by an old qualified producer in the industry, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

On the one hand, I don't believe it.、Even look down on Nagato Daiyuki's big words.。 On the other hand, I couldn't help but wonder if I was really as unbearable as he said.

Ikeda was incredulous, "How could it be...... Daikoku-san's talent is definitely more than that. ”

Nagato Daiyuki's disparagement of Daikoku Maki is useless, and Ikeda is psychologically difficult to accept. However, since he was willing to let her work after belittled her, does it mean that President Nagato is deeply responsible for her love?

Because you saw that her potential was far more than that, you deliberately beat her like this?

Ikeda tried to find a balance between Nagato's approach and his own thoughts about Daikoku Maki, and persuaded him, "Daikoku-san, maybe President Nagado has a more sophisticated idea, otherwise he wouldn't have invited you to join the company......

Could it really be that as Ikeda-san said, it was because President Nagato was particularly optimistic about her? Okoku Maki listened to Ikeda's persuasion and did not say anything on the spot.

However, as soon as she was beaten like this, she suddenly thought of the audition tape that she sent GenZo.

That Iwahashi-san, is it the "Iwahashi-san" she thought?

And shortly after the three of them left BEING, there was another knock on the door of Nagato Daiyuki's office.
