DREAMS COME TRUE's debut event is scheduled for the last day of April.

Prior to this, CBS Sony had already sent the band's debut single to advertisers to audition in order to find a suitable partner.

This song won a lot of attention during the band's heavenly competition, and before it was released, it first had a certain audience, and the singer was the champion of the topic program, not a newcomer to the whiteboard from scratch.

For a newly debuted band, expanding their popularity is more important than anything else, which is also the original intention of finding advertisers. Because of this, during the internal negotiation stage, it was determined that the royalties of the song were calculated separately, and if the advertiser used the song, he would not ask them to pay royalties.

This method appears from time to time when the firm sells the rising actors, in order to help them expand their popularity, the firm lowers the price to receive advertisements, and with popularity, it is convenient to negotiate roles with the TV Bureau, and when the important roles are popular, the value will naturally rise, and the early investment will be returned.

If you look at it this way, backed by a big record company, the band itself is a little well-known, the music is good, and the usage fee is waived in the end, it is simply a big sale after the boss ran away with his sister-in-law.

To buy is to pick up, and to use is to earn.

With these additions, the process of seeking cooperation is much smoother than that of ordinary rookie singers. In addition, as Shinichi Iwahashi said, this song is wonderful as an advertising song.

Therefore, the process of seeking cooperation was much smoother than that of ordinary rookie singers, and after some deliberation, it was finally decided to play the song as an advertising song for Glico Pock.

The advertisers who will be cooperated with are determined in advance in order to announce the news at the debut press conference and to build momentum for the band's debut in advance.

The venue for the debut conference was set at the Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku, not too far from CBS Sony's headquarters in Shinjuku.

In order to prepare for this press conference, CBS Sony and Watanabe Manyumi's U-MIZ jointly invited large and small media in the industry, thanks to the blessing of Big Records, so that Watanabe Manyumi's office followed the light and exposed the light in the industry, which is also one of the benefits of the band's debut.

Of course, such a grand formation also makes it clear that they should be promoted as super-large newcomers.

Shinichi Iwahashi is also a producer, and before the start of the debut press conference, in addition to participating in the recording, he also participated in some of the work related to the press conference, during which he had to attend the regular meeting of the band's heavenly kingdom, and he was busy all day long.

......

On the 28th, Chisato Moritaka's new single officially went on sale, and a newcomer like her, who has just improved a little, the initial sales of the record will not be too good, and the success or failure will be determined more by the trend after that, but there is no need to pay too much attention to it first.

As for how the studio and the record company arrange the publicity, it has nothing to do with him as a producer.

When the new single was released, Warner Pioneer also paid GENZO the production fee according to the contract, and compared with the previous two singles, the cost increased at the same time, and the production fee for GENZO also increased, increasing by 30% compared with the first two singles.

In addition to the production fee, the first batch of sales after the release of the single also followed.

This "17 Years Old", the number of the first shipments is not too much, but it is also a lot, and the CDs, LPs, and tapes add up to 50,000 copies, half of which is suppressed in the warehouse and half is put in the record store.

The increase in shipments has also brought a considerable amount of income to GENZO. Because record sales are not based on how much is sold in the end, but how much is shipped when they are suppressed, no matter what the sales are, it will not affect the distribution of sales, and if it is reprinted in the future, it will be another income.

Combined with the singles of the winning bands produced by the band Heaven, which they have produced since their debut, and the cover albums that they continue to produce for Tokyo Music Industry Company, GENZO, which had nothing but a lot of debt at the time of its opening, can be regarded as improving.

For Shinichi Iwahashi, the 3 million yen signing fee at the time of signing the DREAMS COME TRUE contract was about 700,000 yen after deducting taxes and equalizing the shares.

Although the local tyrants in the bubble era spent more than this amount in one night, but when the money is in hand, they will be comfortable first.

In addition, CBS Sony gave them a fixed salary of 200,000 yen per month, which seems to be okay, but considering that the expenses in the entertainment industry are different from those of ordinary people, this fixed salary is to support them and prevent them from working strange jobs.

The fixed salary is to keep people from going hungry, just like an actor wants to act in an advertisement, and a model needs to endorse, as a singer, how to make the record sell is the only way to reach the pinnacle of life.

As the band's kingdom becomes a topic of conversation, GENZO's popularity in the industry and the community is also a little more important, and the next crucial thing is whether GENZO can have a good work.

Only when independent singers are recognized by the market can GENZO get a ticket to enter the mainstream industry.

Although the production of a band for the winner of the competition has increased its popularity, it still plays a little more OEM role, and it is still Chisato Moritaka who is actually in charge of it from beginning to end that can really determine whether GENZO will be able to get more opportunities in the industry.

......

In the busy situation before his debut, Kawasaki's office, if there is no important matter for him to deal with, then he will go every three days to deal with the backlog of affairs.

Because of this, Akina Nakamori sent a letter to GENZO, and by the time Shinichi Iwahashi saw it, it was already the twenty-ninth day.

The clerk who stayed in Kawasaki gave him the letter for the past three days, and when Shinichi Iwahashi saw Akina Nakamori's letter, he thought to himself, before he could see the feedback from the taster, the products were already all over the street.

Still, opinions are valuable.

Before the identity of "taster", Akina Nakamori was also a "listener".

The address strokes on the envelope were clear and serious, but when Shinichi Iwahashi took out the questionnaire inside, he looked at Akina Nakamori's handwriting, and for some reason wanted to laugh.

It's not that the words are ugly - it's better to do what you want than beautiful or ugly.

The questionnaire he had sent in the package was filled with Akina Nakamori in her freewheeling handwriting, and every question was answered carefully.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the past one by one, and Akina Nakamori had a good evaluation of this single and also wrote some of her own feelings.

Not only is the handwriting freewheeling, but the feeling is also a bit of a sentence from the east to the west.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at such a letter and felt that Akina Nakamori was more like writing a letter to him than filling out his questionnaire.
