(Two chapters in one)

"It's over?"

When the music stopped, the four of them, who had just formed a band, exchanged glances with each other. The five flavors of the filial family greeted Aoki Kazuyoshi with a smile, and bowed slightly to Haruko Akamatsu.

This girl who mistook him for an actress when he entered the door just now, didn't expect to play the piano quite well.

In the end, the eyes of the five flavor filial family fell on the body of Moritomo Lanshi.

This young man can really sing.

Haruko Akamatsu took her fingers off the keys, accepted the gaze of Takashi Gomi, and returned the salute with her eyes, revealing a somewhat shy expression, and then looked at Moritomo Lanshi.

After the music stopped, Moritomo Ranshi breathed a sigh of relief, and then a sense of accomplishment came to his heart.

Putting down the keyboard and forgetting that he once had an instrument in his hand, Moritomo Lanshi had nothing to rely on, so he could only pay more attention to the musician's performance and try to strengthen the communication with the musician.

In this way, he finally sank into the form of "band", and the feeling of being out of the band, like oil floating on the water, faded away.

It was only then that he fully understood the true meaning of Iwahashi Shinichi to make him give up the keyboard, and he couldn't help but feel a kind of admiration for Iwahashi Shinichi's precise vision, and also understood why Haruko Akamatsu admired him so much.

Kazuyoshi Aoki, who was the first to discover Moritomo Arashi's talent, performed with him, and he somewhat felt that Moritomo Arashi was lacking, but he lacked the ability of Iwahashi Shinichi to hit the nail on the head, so he couldn't say why.

It wasn't until he asked Moritomo Lanshi to give up the keyboard and perform again, and gave a solution, that the problem suddenly became extremely obvious.

It's really Iwahashi-san!

When Kazuyoshi Aoki was looking at Moritomo Arashi, he was thinking about it in his heart.

Moritomo Lanshi looked at Haruko Akamatsu and saw that Haruko Akamatsu was also looking at him.

He was overjoyed and was about to greet her, when he suddenly realized that it was not just Haruko Akamatsu, but that all eyes were now focused on him in the recording room.

became the center of attention, and Moritomo Lanshi suddenly became embarrassed, showing his sensitive and delicate nature again.

At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi clapped his hands gently, "It's wonderful." ”

As he uttered these words, as if he had lifted some spell, the subtle atmosphere in the recording room that was just greeting each other with their eyes was broken and became lively.

Kazuyoshi Aoki, the original Bole of Moritomo Arashi, did not hesitate to give praise at this time, and Gomi Takashi not only felt that Moritomo Arashi was a good lead singer, but also had an excellent evaluation of the other two.

Although the traces of the band's improvised patchwork are obvious, Moritomo Lanshi's performance is truly remarkable.

Only Haruko Akamatsu silently withdrew at this time and stood aside.

Iwahashi Shinichi's ability to hit the nail on the head, Akamatsu Haruko has long been taught.

Not only that, but as he participated in the band's Heavenly Review and read countless people, this ability was also strengthened, to the point of almost perfection.

A novice band like this cucumber egg came to him, and it was clear what was wrong.

After an impromptu ensemble, everyone walked out of the studio and sat around the studio table. Haruko Akamatsu went to make them coffee, dutifully playing the role of a studio girl.

"Let's play the guitar freely today, too, Gomi San. "Iwahashi Shinichi spoke to Gomi Takashi first.

Gomi Takashi replied, "I don't lose to the time when I went to support you as a musician." As he spoke, he was a little envious of Shinichi Iwahashi and Kazuyoshi Aoki.

Of these two people, Shinichi Iwahashi discovered Miwa Yoshida, and Kazuki Aoki and Yoshito were brought to Moritomo Arashi. The Gomi Taka clan has never met such a person in any case.

If he could meet such a teammate, then he would immediately go to join the band Heaven.

After talking to Gomi Takashi, Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Moritomo Arashi and Aoki Kazuyoshi again, "Moritomo-san, how do you feel after putting down the keyboard?"

Moritomo Lanshi replied a little shyly: "It's a bit unexpected. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi's proposal worked, and Moritomo Ranshi answered his questions honestly like the most obedient student in the class.

"My advice to the band is, please give up the keyboard and focus on being the lead singer. "To be honest, your singing talent is ten times stronger than your playing skills." ”

You can find a keyboard player of his caliber anywhere, but such a solid lead singer is definitely a target to be fought for.

"If that's the case, the band becomes a lead singer and drummer. ”

Wuwei Xiaoshi listened on the side, his heart moved, and he said, "You don't mind if I interject, right?"

"That's right, I used to have a band, but it's disbanded, and now it's the time of the ronin who has nothing to do." So ......"

Gomi Takashi paused, "I think the two of you are very good, if you can, can you treat the co-performance just now as an interview for me as a guitarist?"

"Huh?"

Gomi Takashi suddenly said this, and Moritomo Lanshi and Aoki Kazuyoshi were surprised. Iwahashi Shinichi also looked at Gomi Takashi.

For the band Mao Sui who met for the first time, he recommended himself, and Wuwei Xiaoshi didn't feel abrupt and inappropriate, and waited calmly for the reply from the two over there.

Previously, when Maori Amaya conveyed Shinichi Iwahashi's invitation to him, Takashi Gomi didn't feel expectant in his heart, but now, he felt in his heart that the decision to come and see Shinichi Iwahashi was extremely correct.

Although it was not a band that he organized himself, but he joined someone else's band, he was able to work with such a person, and he had an opportunity to work with such people.

I'm not here to sabotage your band, I'm here to join your band!

Moritomo Lanshi exchanged glances with Kazuyoshi Aoki, and after a silent exchange, he replied, "It's a great honor to say that, Gomi-san." ”

"I hope that the performance just now can also be your interview with me and Mori Yukun. "Aoki and Yoshimichi.

Wuwei Xiaoshi immediately said, "The interview result on my side, of course, is 'full score'." At the same time, he said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "With the level of the two of them, it will not be a problem to join the band Heaven." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became a little subtle.

The most open-minded Aoki Kazuyoshi laughed at himself: "Gomi-san, Mori Yu-san and I went to participate in the band Heaven, but we were kicked out as soon as we came on the stage. ”

Although it is a fact that it was eliminated, this description is exaggerated enough.

Moritomo Lanshi was amused by Aoki Kazuyoshi's exaggerated description, and the haze of the earlier dissipated, and now he can laugh at the failure, and say to Gomi Takashi, "That's right." ”

Gomi Takashi was stunned and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi, with an expression that this kind of talent could also be brushed down.

Iwahashi Shinichi was straightforward, completely unmoved by his gaze.

What is this?

Didn't you see Seiko Matsuda become a top idol after being eliminated by "STAR! Birth"?

Didn't you see that Taopu Star could be swiped twice in a row by "STAR! Birth" before finally winning the championship?

Didn't you see that even if Akiko Matsumoto won the championship, she could only transform into an artist?

At the end of the day, the draft is just a starting point, just one of the paths to success.

......

The new guitarist is in place, and BOLAN has also changed from a duo to a threesome, becoming the most stable relationship.

Since the band has drums in its configuration, its good partner bass is also indispensable.

Rather than a triangle being the most stable relationship, perhaps a more suitable configuration for them should be a four-cornered configuration.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a guitarist like Gomi Takashi who sends you to your door, and you can just interview one directly after that.

The audition seems to sound quite remarkable, and in the underground music industry, it happens every day.

The band and musicians are critical of each other, and after wandering around how many bands and auditions they have participated in, they feel that this is the best choice now.

Moritomo Arashi and Kazuyoshi Aoki were received by Shinichi Iwahashi, and Takashi Gomi has a new belonging, and he is willing to join GENZO, and the three of them will openly interview a bassist with the help of Shinichi Iwahashi to reorganize the band.

After the reorganization, they will hone their skills at the LIVEHOUSE in Tokyo, while also completing the run-in between teammates and teammates. After participating in the talent show, Moritomo Lanshi now wants to do it more down-to-earth than the way to find shortcuts.

As a result, Gomi Takashi's wish to take the band to participate in the band's heavenly kingdom was also frustrated. He had some regrets, but he was not disappointed. This is not the only path to success, but now it is just another one.

Ever since he co-starred with the two and offered to join the band, he never doubted that the band would not succeed.

Gomi Takashi thought to himself, when Shinichi Iwahashi asked him to go to DREAMS COME TRUE as a support musician, the band was a grass stage group that only lasted one day, and compared to DREAMS COME TRUE at that time, BOLAN's current situation is not a hundred times better, but eighty times better.

In addition to honing their performance skills, they also participated in music production at the suggestion of Shinichi Iwahashi, so that they could become familiar with the music production process and hone their arranging skills in preparation for the future.

During this period, the songs they wrote will also be given priority to enter the genzo music library. I just got the production fee and the first sales share of Mori Taka, and the company now has a surplus of money to buy songs.

The music library is abundant, and the confidence when receiving orders is also sufficient.

......

"Anyway, that's it. ”

In Watanabe's office, Shinichi Iwahashi told her about the cause and effect of the incident, "Akamatsu-san didn't make a sound, so he brought a band back." ”

"Haruko is quite remarkable. ”

Watanabe Manyumi picked up the magazine on the desk and walked over, "I have a good way of doing things." ”

She has always had a good impression of Haruko Akamatsu.

"Indeed, and it is not bad to see people. As soon as Iwahashi Shin heard Watanabe Manyumi call Haruko Akamatsu by her name, he knew that the relationship between the two was going well.

Since it was the band she brought back, the next BOLAN selection of bass musicians was also handed over to her. ”

"To this extent, I guess I became the manager of the band. ”

"It's all about brokers, but it's not bad. "However, I don't recognize her as a real agent, otherwise I would have left it to her to discuss the LIVEHOUSE performance." ”

When Watanabe Manyumi heard this, she couldn't help but smile, "It's so cunning to not admit that she is a real agent, but let her do the agent's business." ”

"Even if it's a little long, there's always a trial period. ”

"How dare you say it. Watanabe Manyumi laughed at his appearance as a black-hearted boss. But I also knew in my heart that Iwahashi Shinichi was still worried about the problems left by Haruko Akamatsu at ABNORMAL, so he didn't let go.

She also understands Iwahashi Shinichi's approach, and she also understands that the reason why he doesn't let go is also an element of taking care of Haruko Akamatsu and the thoughts of the others. Because of this, I don't demolish him either.

Even so, she still said something for Haruko Akamatsu, "I've always admired Haruko. ”

"Aren't you going to poach his staff in front of the president again?" Shinichi Iwahashi teased her.

Watanabe Manyumi smiled slightly, and followed his words and said, "If you are willing to nod, my side will take action immediately." ”

"It's pretty principled. Iwahashi said with a smile.

Watanabe didn't answer the conversation and sat down on the other sofa, "Speaking of which, I don't remember reviewing such a band. ”

"How can you remember that kind of thing so clearly. "Besides, it's not surprising that even good bands are eliminated, there are always bands that are not suitable for debuting through the draft, and are suitable for hiding and slowly polishing." ”

"For example, Tajima-kun's ORIGINAL LOVE. ”

"Definitely. ”

"Speaking of which, I'd like to tell you something about ORIGINAL LOVE," Watanabe told him, "Toshiba EMI listened to the band's audition tape and wanted to sign them, and this period of polishing is half the battle." ”

"Hmm. Iwahashi nodded cautiously.

This is U-MIZ's business, but the person who proposed to sign them was Shinichi Iwahashi, and later asked them to help a little, and the follow-up was all operated by U-MIZ.

So now Watanabe Manyumi said that he just listened and did not express his opinion.

In these matters, Iwahashi is very clear, just like Watanabe Manyumi also knows where the boundaries are, and does not point fingers at GENZO's affairs, there is such a tacit understanding between these two people.

"There is also Kariyushi, who borrowed BEGIN's east wind, and the debut song is also in good shape, and for newcomers, it has a good shipment. ”

"And ......"

"And?" Iwahashi smiled at her, "Has it been so fruitful lately?"

"Of course. "Watanabe Manyumi also smiled, "and DREAMS COME TRUE, which is about to debut." ”

......

After saying something half joking and half serious, Watanabe Manyumi handed him the magazine he was holding in his hand just now, "By the way, have you read this?"

"What?" Shinichi Iwahashi took over, a music magazine called "MUSIC LIFE".

"There is a music review of Chisato Moritaka "17 Years Old" on it. Watanabe Manyumi explained.

"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi was a little interested, wondering what the music critics had written.

The length of that music review is not very long, and the first sentence at the beginning is: The pompous magic hand has finally reached out to the memory of youth.

"There are enough poisonous tongues. He looked at the beginning and smiled.
