Miwa-chan's lyrics are in place, and the stuck progress immediately spikes forward.

After returning from Atami, Shinichi Iwahashi worked overtime with Brother Nakamura to arrange the first version of the new song.

This song, which was described by Watanabe Manyumi as "I want to go on an outing after listening to it", was really filled with a pleasant spring outing by Miwa-chan.

In the lyrics she wrote, the protagonist brings a camera and takes photos of cherry blossom trees, rose gardens, every scenery on the outing, and friends on a trip.

The lyrics of the whole song are simple and life-like, and what they sing is an ordinary outing.

But it is precisely this kind of "life" that, in Iwahashi's view, is wonderful.

The melody of the whole song is light and smooth, fresh and natural. The simple and life-like lyrics truthfully describe an outing, with the sentence "Look at this side and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile, Smile~".

A relaxing outing to spend the holiday with friends unfolds in front of you, and the picture is full of sense.

And the most important thing is that this simple, life-like outing can be done by anyone.

As long as you want to, you can have an outing like this as sung in the song. Bring a camera and take pictures of cherry blossom trees, rose gardens, park sandpits, and other scenery that can be seen everywhere in life, as well as friends who travel together.

This kind of casual doing as you want is in line with Quick Snap's concept of "shoot as much as you want".

If you want to go on an outing, then let's go. When you want to take a picture, just raise your Quick Snap in your hand.

......

Shinichi Iwahashi got the arrangement of the first version of the music and auditioned it to Manyumi Watanabe and the producers from Sony before sending it to Fujifilm.

Once the song is accepted, it will be released as the band's next single, and it will also be included in the new album in the future.

After listening to the song, Watanabe Manyumi commented: "Yoshida-san is really talented." ”

"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi was happy to hear her say.

"Speaking of which, thanks to your idea of going on an outing. He also admires the vision of Watanabe Manyumi, an "ordinary listener".

Watanabe Manyumi heard him mention this stubble and laughed at herself: "As a result, the person who didn't go on an outing was me, who wanted to go on an outing after listening to the song." ”

"Haha!" Iwahashi Shindaichi laughed, "That's so pitiful." ”

Watanabe Manyumi saw his smile in his eyes, but he didn't care, and continued, "This song, the lyrics and the tune match just right. Moreover, Yoshida-san does not use a single word of "happy" or "happy" throughout the text. ”

Her focus made Shinichi Iwahashi feel clever.

"Indeed, after all, it is the person who wrote "So Happy, So Happy, So Liked!". He teased.

Watanabe Manyumi smiled, knowing that he said it on purpose, "It's not because of that song that I don't care if she uses such words." ”

"On the contrary," she said, "it is very relaxed and happy when I listen to this song." After listening to it, I think about it, and there is not a single word for 'happy' or 'happy'. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi understood what she wanted to say, "How to say it, everyday happiness doesn't need to be so hard. ”

I like a person, my heart is high, and I move forward bravely, so I shout "happy! happy! like!".

And enjoying life, enjoying the scenery of nature, and spending outing time with friends is relaxed and natural. The joy of not emphasizing "joy" is the charm of this song.

The life-like lyrics and the brisk melody, combined with the refreshing singing voice of Mei and the sauce, are seamless.

"That's just as well. ”

Watanabe Manyumi nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "What's the name of the song?"

“《Eyes to me》。 Shinichi Iwahashi told her.

......

With both the studio and the record company in pass, Shinichi Iwahashi sent the song "Eyes to me" to Fujifilm.

Fujifilm has a director surnamed Saito, who is very fond of the band's song "So happy, so happy, so happy!" This time, it was possible to enter the sponsorship negotiation process, and it was initially thanks to the fact that the director Saito said good things for the band.

Now, the cooperation is going on, and the song is being delivered, and Director Saito is looking forward to it.

On Fujifilm's side, as long as the band can come up with a song that is "light and pleasant, with a foreign style" and is not obtrusive for the camera advertisement, this collaboration will be able to go smoothly.

However, because he liked the band's songs, he said good things for them and led to this collaboration, and Director Saito was looking forward to what kind of song the band would be able to hand over in the end, in addition to the official cooperation.

Although he had been expecting the band in the early days, when he received such a tailor-made song as "Eyes to me" and the impeccable lyrics, Director Saito still had to sigh at the band's talent.

On the premise that you are already looking forward to them, you can still be pleasantly surprised by them.

While being pleasantly surprised by DREAMS COME TRUE's new song, Director Saito had another idea in his mind.

He was the one who recommended the band to produce the advertising song, and as a recommender, he was happy that the band could deliver such a song that was praised by the people in charge of the band and felt that his face was bright.

Although the production of the commercial has not yet begun, this commercial song received in advance has been confirmed to be the commercial song of the new season of Quick Snap.

In this way, the follow-up tour sponsorship has also become a logical thing.

To be able to write songs of this caliber one after another, it is definitely worth sponsoring them.

......

On the Fujifilm side, we discussed with the office about sponsorship for the tour in the future.

Negotiations on tour sponsorship have nothing to do with Shinichi Iwahashi. Manyumi Watanabe came forward, and the manager of her office was responsible for accompanying her to drink flower wine to contact feelings.

However, in addition to the work and entertainment, Iwahashi Shinichi thanked him and made an extra appearance, inviting the representative of Fujifilm and his brother-in-law Kanichi Narita to have dinner together, and called the manager of the record company to accompany him.

Not only did Director Saito feel that his face was shining, but also the representative, who had been in charge of contacting Shinichi Iwahashi, and his brother-in-law Hiroyuki Narita, who had been in contact with Shinichi Iwahashi, also felt that the collaboration was pleasant.

After the end, the three parties felt happy, the food was comfortable, and the wine was happy.

After a while, the four of them moved to the next shop.

The representative of Fujifilm drank and said that the new song sent by the band and the lyrics can be used as a script for advertising. ”

"Really?"

The person who asked the question was Hiroyuki Narita, who had not heard the song - it was not in his scope.

"That's right, it's very visual. Fujifilm's representative was firm.

Shinichi Iwahashi casually retold a lyric to his brother-in-law, and Narita Hiroyuki laughed, "Isn't this a spring outing?"

"When the commercial aired, it was graduation season. The graduation trip is also a spring outing. ”

The representative of Fujifilm laughed, "Isn't it repeated in the song 'Look at this side and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile, Smile~'? ”

"Then you have to find a commercial protagonist who looks good with a smile. Iwahashi Shinichi casually answered.

The representative of Fujifilm was in a hurry, and asked casually, "Has Iwahashi-kun thought of any suitable candidates?"

Miwa-chan, who laughs carefree, and Yukiko Okada, who laughs innocently and cheerfully.

...... And Akina Nakamori, who looks so good when she laughs.

Iwahashi Shinichi came up with these three people in his head, but unfortunately it was impossible to do any of them. One is not the kind of beauty favored by advertisers, and the other has been retired for two years and has nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

Finally, if she had just debuted a few years ago, it would not be appropriate to shoot advertisements for disposable cameras now. Besides, if it was interesting to Fujifilm on this side, I would have negotiated it a long time ago.

After a little consideration, Shinichi Iwahashi said, "I feel that it would be nice to have Momoko Kikuchi shoot it." ”

"Kikuchi Momoko?"

The representative of Fujifilm, brother-in-law Hiroyuki Narita, was a little unexpected.

Shinichi Iwahashi slowly explained, "I just thought that the melody of that advertising song was fresh, the lyrics were relatively daily, and the disposable camera was not an expensive thing, but a very civilian thing, even if it was an advertisement, it must be life-like." ”

One or two thousand yuan a disposable camera, which can only be recycled when it runs out, can not shoot an advertising blockbuster.

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Kikuchi-san has been a girl next door since her debut, a popular but approachable schoolgirl at school, is that pretty much the image......?" Although recently in order to transform to play a frivolous girl.

"The most important thing is that she has had a very good image since her debut, and even girls don't hate her. ”

Pure pie girl next door,This setting is natural in Kikuchi Momoko.,There's no sense of pretense at all.。 Because of the high degree of favorability, the group of bands LA· MU – The fiasco didn't affect her personal momentum.

Her fans can even automatically distinguish her from the band, on the one hand, they don't buy the band's account, and on the other hand, they think that it has nothing to do with the company.

Although the popularity has declined, and the record has begun to sell no more, the favorability and popularity are still there, which is the so-called good popularity of passers-by.

Isn't this a good choice for advertising? Moreover, because her popularity has declined, she is eagerly seeking transformation, and she is looking for her to shoot advertisements, and she spends less money.

"With that in mind, Kikuchi-san wouldn't be quite suitable. ”

"Hmm. The representative of Fujifilm was originally listening to the fun, but Iwahashi Shinichi said that he was talking about the Tao, but he gradually became a little serious.

......

Continuing to the third booth, Iwahashi Shinichi asked the representative of Fujifilm to ask him to lend a darkroom and help introduce a photographer to teach him how to develop photos.

Without thinking, the representative of Fujifilm agreed before asking, "Is Iwahashi-kun still interested in how to develop the photos?"

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and rounded up the topic.

Those photos taken for Akina Nakamori were handed over to others to develop, and I didn't feel at ease in the end. Even if the relationship between two people really wants to be announced to the world, it can't be used in this way, it's too aggrieved.

Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, the ancestors have a basket of such truths.

I don't know how many photos I'm going to take of her in the future, so I might as well learn a craft while I'm working with Fujifilm and the relationship is hot.

Skills are not pressing.

......

After drinking this stall, the representative of Fujifilm will be sent to the bus.

At this point, it is not easy to take a taxi. In the bubble era, Tokyoites have a rich nightlife, crazy taxi prices, and the starting fee is 10,000 yen during the popular period.

Taxi drivers pick passengers, either cute and beautiful girls are preferred, or they can make more money. These people who drink flower wine with Shinichi Iwahashi all day long are cute, pretty, and girls, and none of them have anything to do with it.

In this case, the only way to do this is to let the driver earn more.

The manager of the record company called by Shinichi Iwahashi played a role at this time. I was in charge of stopping the car on behalf of Fujifilm's representatives.

The representative of Fujifilm, who was half-drunk, was handed to him, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Hiroyuki Narita walked together.

The representative who sent Fujifilm used a taxi ticket from a record company, and it was Shinichi Iwahashi who was in charge of entertaining, which was the rule.

However, when it was only the two of them left, when they stopped the taxi, they changed to a taxi ticket from Dentsu. Dentsu MAN of Narita Hiroyuki's level, the annual taxi fee is said to be millions of yen.

Iwahashi Shinichi was curious about whether it was true or not, but it was inconvenient to ask his brother-in-law such a question.

He was thinking about it there, and after getting into the car, Narita Kanyuki asked him first, "Does Shinichio-kun know Kikuchi-san?"

"I don't know. Iwahashi shook his head.

Narita Kanyuki said "hey", "Could that be her fan?"

"Not really. Shinichi Iwahashi heard this and explained to his brother-in-law, "Before, Kikuchi-san helped promote ZARD on the radio. ”

This time, it happened to be mentioned when he was chatting, and he felt that Kikuchi Momoko's image was appropriate, so he mentioned it by the way.

If it can be done, it will be her reciprocating for ZARD's publicity. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, no one knows anyone anyway.

"I see. ”

Narita Kanyuki nodded and said, "Just now you recommended her so seriously to shoot an advertisement, I thought it was your friend or your idol." He smiled and asked casually, "Do you want me to recommend her too?"

"That's it. Iwahashi politely refused, "Any more would be too much." ”

"That's just as well. Narita Kanyuki nodded and made fun of him, "If you go too far, your motives will be suspicious." ”

Shinichi Iwahashi only laughed.

It's strange that I can't hear what this brother-in-law meant.

......

On such an evening, Yukiko Okada made an appointment with Akina Nakamori to meet at a café that they frequented since their idol days.

After Atami's outing, when she talked to Akina Nakamori on the phone, she really talked about the outing. On the phone, Yukiko Okada told Akina Nakamori that she had sent the photos taken in Atami to be developed.

"Do you want to see Akina-san? This year's early cherry blossoms in Atami are blooming beautifully. I also photographed the rose garden and plum blossoms in Atami. On the phone, Yukiko Okada talked about her outing in Atami with great interest.

Akina Nakamori replied, "I want to see it."

So, the two of them said okay, and the next time they came out to have tea together, Yukiko Okada brought the photos taken in Atami with them.
