436. in the first place
Iwahashi Shinsei drove over, and Sachiko Kamaike owed him a debt and said "excuse me" before sitting in.
It's a time when Tokyo's nightlife is getting better. Shinichi Iwahashi drove the car, and finally got out of the traffic congestion and drove onto the main road.
He drove a black Nissan Duke. A young man in his early twenties drives this car, and in every way, this kind of rush is quite interesting.
That being said, the car was purchased in the name of the company and had nothing to do with him.
It was the leaders of the Takeda Printing Company who asked him to be a president, and he must not be dignified when he goes out, and he must look like a president.
Because of this requirement, he drove this president car at a young age.
Thanks to the Takeda Printing Company, there are not too many pompous habits of the bubble era, such as reprinting some shiny business cards for him.
Think about the fate of a certain famous pin target Mori Kogoro with a shiny golden business card......
After all, the request of the Takeda Printing Company was not made casually, but rather that they were well versed in the atmosphere of this era. In these years, when you go out, you look at people first and horses first, and respect people and clothes first.
Thanks to the atmosphere of the bubble era, he has just started his business, the company has nothing, and the pomp and circumstance have been arranged first. ...... If he makes a little bit of success, he will probably have to arrange for him to run a tiger, right?
Imagination always instills strength in hard work.
It's the same with rhapsodies.
......
Shinichi Iwahashi and Sachiko Kamaike are on their way to the karaoke box.
When we met at a café just now, it was Sachiko Kamaike's meaning. She asked Iwahashi Shinkachi to come out, confide in him, and say what she thought.
This straightforwardness, which is a bit excessive, makes Iwahashi Shinichi impressed her.
If people don't have the past, they can't become their current self.
Shinichi Iwahashi is in the picture of Sachiko Kamaike, who is now a model, so he will never take the choices she has made lightly, nor will he force her to veto this experience.
Really got this humane answer from Shinichi Iwahashi, and Sachiko Kamaike quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It is not a kind of relaxation that I have not been misunderstood, but a kind of comfort that conveys my heart well.
Sachiko Kamaike wouldn't think that Shinichi Iwahashi despised her, otherwise, Shinichi Iwahashi wouldn't have made so much effort to respect her choice.
What she wanted to convey was that she herself had never taken herself lightly.
The job as a model may not be decent or something she likes, but she doesn't see it as a burden, a burden that she can't wait to get rid of. She has no regrets about the choices she has made.
Only when this heart is conveyed to Shinichi Iwahashi can she feel at ease. At the same time, this kind of heart can also make Iwahashi feel at ease.
Especially on Iwahashi's side, Sachiko Kamaike doesn't want to cause him any more trouble.
Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't despise her, and she herself never despises herself. As long as a consensus can be reached on this matter, then no matter what the outside world thinks of the lead singer of this photo model in the future, both sides will be able to deal with it calmly.
It was precisely because I thought that Sachiko Kamaike took the initiative to find him, put her shyness aside, and introduce these photos to him as ordinary work, and understood her intentions, and because of this, Shinichi Iwahashi was impressed with her.
......
After everything I wanted to say was said and my heart was reached, the atmosphere in the banquet fell silent for a while.
Sachiko Kamaike's gaze moved down from Shinichi Iwahashi's face and landed on the photo and phone card she had brought. On the phone card, he was dressed coolly, wearing heavy makeup, and showing a commercial smile.
She glanced at it, and immediately looked away again, falling to the edge of the table.
I hesitated, not knowing what to say next and what to do.
Shinichi Iwahashi observed her actions and found it interesting. Suddenly, he said to her, "Is there any arrangement after Kamaike-san?"
Sachiko Kamaike's eyes widened, her gaze returned to his face, and she replied, "No." ”
"Then, if you don't mind, do you want to sing karaoke together in the future?"
Shinichi Iwahashi naturally handed over the invitation, "As I said before, Kamaike-san wants to make 'rock music that can be sung in karaoke', and I've never seen Kamaike-san sing in karaoke. ”
The opportunity is rare, since Sachiko Kamachi can take the initiative, he simply took this opportunity to get to know her, see what kind of stage route she is suitable for, and how to plan her image.
Sachiko Kamaike thought about it a little and agreed.
......
The karaoke box is a place, and the last time I came was with Manyumi Watanabe.
And Watanabe Manyumi are partners, and they are familiar with each other. Replaced by Sachiko Kamaike, the two were not very familiar with each other, and they had a superior-subordinate relationship. The people who came together were different in terms of identity, and the atmosphere was also different.
Actually, if you really want to talk about it, you came with Watanabe Manyumi for fun, and with Sachiko Kamaike, the essence is still for business.
Shinichi Iwahashi asks Sachiko Kamaike to order her favorite songs that she often sings in karaoke, and she is an audience member on the side. Sachiko Kamaike manipulated the song orderer, and first chose "For You...".
After singing, Shinichi Iwahashi continued to ask her to tell her what she thought of the song, her memories of the song, anything, in short, everything she could associate with the song.
Sachiko Kamaike looked like a student who had been suddenly asked a strange question, showing a little confusion. However, the personality of the honor student is always reflected in her, she thinks about it carefully, and then answers his questions seriously.
After singing a song, Shinichi Iwahashi then asked, "Next, can you order a song that you think is very much in line with your heart?"
Sachiko Kamaike honestly manipulates the song orderer. After singing, he continued to follow Iwahashi's request to describe his thoughts on the song and what he thought the lyrics were brilliant.
She speaks slowly, has something to say, and is a very brainy person.
Next, she sang "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".
The fourth song to be sung was "LAT. 43°N ~forty-three degrees north latitude~" is a long song title.
She chose the song DREAMS COME TRUE to sing, and Shinichi Iwahashi was not surprised. When she first met Sachiko Kamaike, she once said that she liked DREAMS COME TRUE and liked Miwa-chan's lyrics.
Sachiko Kamaike sings the song DREAMS COME TRUE, which are two completely different feelings from Miwa Chan, but there is no way to say which is better or worse.
After singing, she said to Shinichi Iwahashi again, "I like DREAMS COME TRUE very much." ”
She couldn't know that Shinichi Iwahashi in front of her was a member of DREAMS COME TRUE. It's really interesting to be praised in person, but you can't tell your true identity.
However, what she said next was, "Actually, I decided to enter the entertainment industry because I was encouraged by DREAMS COME TRUE. ”
The first time I heard Sachiko Kamaike talk about it, Shinichi Iwahashi showed a look of surprise.
She told Shinichi Iwahashi about the fact that she had re-sprouted her already dead dream because she watched the show "Heaven", and after watching the performance of DREAMS COME TRUE, she made up her mind to sign a contract with the Star Office.
The person who planned the band Heaven was Shinichi Iwahashi, and the person who composed DREAMS COME TRUE was also Shinichi Iwahashi, and if it weren't for this show, Sachiko Kamaike wouldn't have decided to enter the entertainment world.
After she entered the entertainment industry, she was discovered by Shinichi Iwahashi and became the lead singer of the band.
The globe that carries Sachiko Kamaike's dream, and the power to push that globe turns out to come from him. It was the show he produced that sent Sachiko Kamaike to him.
When Shinichi Iwahashi thought about this, he felt amazing.
"Still, globe?" he was curious.
Sachiko Kamaike nodded, showing an embarrassed expression, "I once dreamed that if I didn't become a singer, I would have a job that would have the opportunity to travel the world." ”
When it comes to things that have nothing to do with music, Sachiko Kamaike has a bit of self-revealing shyness.
"This dream is also very likely to come true. Shinichi Iwahashi said, "There are many opportunities for the band to go abroad to record or shoot locations abroad." ”
Speaking of this, he smiled, "If you say that, Kamaike-san's two dreams are the same dream. ”
Iwahashi Shinichi's statement made Sachiko Kamaike purse her lips and smile. She didn't have much confidence in her not-so-straight teeth, and over time, she developed this way of smiling toothlessly.
The two talked about the globe from their dreams, to her other dream, and then exchanged some ideas about lyrics. Shinichi Iwahashi told Sachiko Kabuike that he had found a lyricist for her.
"However, the most important thing is to look at Kamaike-san himself. Shinichi Iwahashi said, "The most important thing about lyrics is that there is a complete world view in them. Beautiful words, beautiful sentences, and embellishment skills, these are secondary. ”
Sachiko Kamaike listened carefully.
......
In the second half of the karaoke box, singing was instead put aside. Tonight, it's not so much about calling Sachiko Kamaike to come over and sing, it's better to interview her on a different occasion.
After talking to her, Iwahashi Shinichi got to know her better, and then he had some ideas about how to formulate the band's route and her personal stage style in the future.
At this point, this karaoke party has successfully completed its task and is almost over.
There was only one thing that Iwahashi didn't expect.
Sachiko Kamaike, who was asked by his conductor to sing several different styles of songs one after another, at the end, handed him an invitation, "Iwahashi-san, don't you want to sing one?"
Iwahashi Shinichi was suddenly counter-killed, his face did not change, and he took the microphone, "Yes." Then sing a song. ”
He picked up the microphone, manipulated the song orderer, and while turning the page, he had a new impression of Sachiko Kamachi in his heart: she was not the kind of person who would be led by the nose.
Similarly, she is not an ordinary introverted girl, and she has a lot of ideas in her heart.
He even felt that he didn't have to deliberately pursue that angular or rebellious packaging technique for Sachiko Kamaike, this girl already had a rock side that was different from her external image.
Otherwise, she would never have taken the initiative to ask him out and show him the photos she had taken, just to tell him that she didn't regret it.
The so-called "character design", the highest level is that it is a part of the person's personality, and again, it is to guide a certain part of the person's personality, and the second is to be artificially cultivated before and after the debut, and the worst thing is to stand up after becoming popular.
At the moment, she doesn't need to package any kind of "personality" to attract attention.
Naturally, it's good.
So, in the next few minutes, Sachiko Kamaike also saw Iwahashi Shinyi's miraculous singing skills of "although every note is extremely accurate, but it is not good to sing".
......
Coming out of the karaoke box, Shinichi Iwahashi wants to send Sachiko Kamaike back to the dormitory of the Star Office.
Sachiko Puchi thought about it, but still declined: "Thank you, but I still don't bother you, I'll go back myself." ”
Before the record contract was signed, she was sent back by the president of the record company himself, probably afraid that her colleagues at the Xingchen Office, who lived in the same building, would see it and attract some gossip.
Iwahashi Shinichi was not reluctant, and it was not too late anyway, "Then I'll go first." ”
Before he left, Sachiko Kamaike suddenly stopped him and asked another question, "By the way, Iwahashi-san." ”
"What?" Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her.
Sachiko Kamaike asked, "Now, can I tell my family that I'm going to join the band?" The joy of this dream coming true, the person she wants to share with the most, is her family.
A mother who is gentle and supportive, a father who is strict because he is worried about her, and a younger sibling who chooses to support even though he doesn't understand.
"That's right. ”
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "Of course, no problem, please tell them." ”
......
After a private meeting and conversation with Sachiko Kamaike, Shinichi Iwahashi entered into a negotiation with the Star Office about a record contract. After several rounds of exchange of opinions, the contract was roughly drawn up, and it was time for the members of the band to come forward.
The first record contract is five years, and the newcomer contract is the most ordinary industry level in terms of treatment, which is neither preferential nor harsh.
At this stage, the name of the band will be decided.
The four members of the band, plus Shinichi Iwahashi, the five of them gathered together and spoke their thoughts. The matter of deciding the name of the band, the Star Office also left it to Iwahashi Shinichi to decide, and he made a gesture of not meddling.
Tatsuya Hirakawa was the first to speak as the captain, "I would love to give the band a name with the last letter of 'S'. Many popular band names end in 's's'. ”
He also gave an example of "Beatles", "Eagles" and the like.
Tomohisa Kawazoe wanted to choose a name that sounded very cool, Pharaoh Koyanagi Chang was a good man, and the requirements were very simple, he wanted a name that was simple and easy to understand, and preferably even elementary school students could pronounce it.
After talking around, I arrived at Sachiko Kamaike.
She thought for a moment and said, "I like the band name that starts with a plosive, it sounds imposing. ”
