586. so-so
Takao Tajima is very talented, and Iwahashi Shinichi is convinced of this.
However, the band lacks the popularity of the sword, and it is difficult to open up the popularity, which is also a fact in front of the eyes. Pop music for the general public can't just be applauded and admired by industry insiders.
Since the publicity arranged by the firm has not achieved good results, it is not meaningful to continue to stubbornly stick to the traditional publicity methods. Because of this, Watanabe Manyumi proposed to "wait for the opportunity".
Waiting for the right time requires the band to continue to produce and seek the fusion of its own style and popularity, and it also requires the studio and the production team to find a way to bring the band's music to the ears of the public and show the charm of the band to the public.
There is a need for new methods of communication and for the right music...... It's something you can do on your own. In addition, there may be unforeseen opportunities, such as a sudden change in wind direction.
There has never been a standard answer to the question of "timing".
ORIGINAL LOVE is not a band produced by Shinichi Iwahashi, let alone a singer in his company, but listening to Takao Tajima complain and talk about his confusion about music, this is still within his reach.
However, he knows almost nothing about the current situation of the band, and he can't answer Takashima's question.
What's more, the ownership of the band is in Watanabe Manyumi, and Iwahashi Shinichi is not good at crossing her, saying something about how her band is developing, let alone interpreting the meaning of his boss's words to Takao Tajima.
Takao Tajima finished talking about his confusion, and when he realized it later, he came back to his senses, and he also felt that what he said was inappropriate. A little ashamed, he apologized to Shinichi Iwahashi, "...... There were some whining words. β
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't take it to heart, comforted him a few words, and casually asked him what kind of music he was making lately.
Takao Tajima also wanted to get rid of the inappropriate topic just now, and Iwahashi Shinichi threw away the topic and followed his words to discuss music with him.
Musicians and producers can talk about music together, and there is no worry about running out of topics to talk about.
Takao Tajima has both ideas and ambitions for music, and he also tries many things in his songs of ORIGINAL LOVE.
When I went to join the band Heaven, the band that was still very young in all aspects was smart but was mistaken by the cleverness and made something nondescript. However, in the past two years before and after their debut, the band has made significant progress.
Although they are still experimenting with fusion, they are finally "playing with music" instead of being teased by music in reverse.
The two of them chatted speculatively, and they were in the recording studio again, and seeing that they couldn't just talk about it, they entered the recording room and fiddled with their instruments.
Yukiko Okada went to replace the cold tea, and through the glass of the recording room, watched as Shinichi Iwahashi and Takao Tajima had a good conversationβthough I didn't know what they were talking about.
However, she raised her wrist to look at the time...... It's almost time for her to get off work.
As long as the black-hearted boss Shinichi Iwahashi appears in the recording studio, the little sister in the recording studio, Yukiko Okada, is at risk of being forced to work overtime.
Over there, Shinichi Iwahashi had a good exchange with Takashi Tajima's boyfriend, and he had a general understanding of the style that the band is focusing on now, as well as the recent creative direction.
Takao Tajima, on his part, although he couldn't hear his specific views on the matter of "waiting for the right time", was able to talk about music freely, and the disappointment in his heart dissipated, and his emotions rose.
The two of them stayed here a little longer, and the recording engineer and the studio girl would be with them.
After chatting about the music, Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the time, and it was half past six.
"Let's go to dinner. β
Shinichi Iwahashi invited Takao Tajima and asked the sound engineer again. After asking the recording engineer, I was going to call Yukiko Okada again. When I looked over, I just saw Yukiko Okada peeking at him with her eyes.
Got her right.
Iwahashi Shinichi acted as if nothing happened, "There is Kiko, you can go with you too." β
Yukiko Okada nodded slightly, followed by Shinichi Iwahashi. The four went to a restaurant near the recording studio.
After the meal, the recording engineer had to go back again, with Okada and Kiko following, and Shinichi Iwahashi was not good at running around, so he said goodbye to Takao Tajima.
"It's hard work, and today I left you to work overtime. β
Yukiko Okada said with a smile, "The fried oysters just now are really delicious~!"
"Really, I'll ask you to ...... next time," Iwahashi said casually, hearing Yukiko Okada laugh hard. After a pause, he came back to his senses and smiled, "Next time, please leave work on time." β
The few times Iwahashi Shinichi invited her to dinner, it was all to compensate her after she worked overtime.
Yukiko Okada nodded, "Then I'm welcome." β
The two were on their way to the parking lot over the other side of the studio. Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "Do you have any plans for the future?" β
"If you don't go out to play, I'll send you home first. He said.
Okada Yukiko hesitated, obviously because he had no arrangements, but he didn't want to go home. After thinking about it, I still discussed it with him, "Iwahashi-san, over there in the Bay Shore Plaza, there is a new disco." β
"Really?"
"It's very trendy, it's a disco that was changed from a warehouse, I heard that the lifting of the light ball was canceled, and the multi-element lighting was replaced by multi-element lighting, and a lot of girls were invited to lead the dance on stage. "What Okada Yukiko said has no beginning or end.
When Shinichi Iwahashi was doing a music festival, the venue rented the Wangan Plaza, and I knew that there were many warehouses there. Listening to her, there was probably a number, and nodded, "Yes." β
"The name seems to be 'Juliana'. β
Okada Yukiko started his words and was generous, and asked him, "Does Iwahashi-san have any arrangements next?"
"What?"
"If it's okay, let's go to that new disco together, okay?"
Iwahashi looked at the time, "There is no arrangement...... "Then let's go and see." β
......
It is said that Ben's disco fever is at its peak, which is known just by looking at the little idols who have become popular by singing and dancing in the music industry for several years. The popular disco on the market opened up this market for music.
Iwahashi Shinichi usually socializes, and from time to time he can also socialize at Discory. Twist with a bunch of slightly drunken middle-aged men at Disco - mostly with dancing girls.
The income of being a dancer in a disco is good, and it is said that many dancers work part-time with wine ladies or change careers. The incident of dancing with the dancer reminds Shinichi Iwahashi of his past as a waiter in an odyssey and dancing all over the bartenders.
He didn't think it was black history, but when he thought about it, it had nothing to do with "good memories".
When Shinichi Iwahashi invites or arranges by himself, he consciously avoids the odyssey. However, there are still one or two times when I was entertained by the other party and became a guest at the nightclub where I worked.
However, there are rules for night skiing.
Working at night is similar to a role-play, and the escort ladies play the role of "escort lady". The proof is that the real names of the escort ladies are not allowed in nightclubs. Similarly, when she is not in the store, the escort lady will never use her flower name.
At the beginning, Miwa-chan sang here, and gave herself the stage name of "Yuelu Akiko".
When Shinichi Iwahashi worked here, he played the role of a "waiter", and all the rules applied except that he didn't have a stage name here.
Once you leave the nightclub, it has nothing to do with the character or the people involved.
Even if the barmaid recognized him, if she said that he had worked as a waiter here, it would be a violation of the rules of the night club and would be punished.
As for Iwahashi Shinichi himself, he didn't have the fun of exposing himself in front of his fellow guests.
After Iwahashi Shinichi had been to the Odyssey once or twice, he saw the name again when he looked at the "Hospitality Store List" listed in the company last year, and the name of the Odyssey was crossed out.
I asked the staff, and I learned that the owner of the nightclub saw that there were unlimited business opportunities for opening a disco, so he simply decided to convert the nightclub into a disco and reopen it, so he suspended business for renovation.
The renovated disco is naturally similar to the disco style that Iwahashi Shinichi often goes to socialize, with luxurious decoration, expensive fares, and a place where every inch of land is expensive, and the venue can accommodate a small number of guests, and there are VIP rooms.
It's not the same thing as the disco that Okada Yukiko said about in the warehouse on the other side of the bay.
Yukiko Okada also heard from a friend that there was a disco here, and the specific location is not clear. I thought it would take a lot of effort to get there, but when I got close to the area, there were very eye-catching signs that guided the way.
After parking the car, Shinichi Iwahashi walked over with her.
"How is Iwahashi-san dancing?" asked Yukiko Okada.
"So-so. β
Iwahashi Shinichi's answer was also quite so-so, leading the topic to her, "Yukiko is quite good at dancing, right? After all, she was an idol." β
"So-so. "Okada has Kiko to learn from his tongue.
When he said that, he couldn't help laughing at first, "Actually, it's okay." I'm not a dancing idol, though. As soon as I talk about dancing idols, I immediately think of Akina Nakamori, "If you want to say that the one who can dance the most, it's still Akina-san." β
"When I watched 'TATTOO' on TV, I thought she was very good at dancing. β
And the waist is also very thin.
Shinichi Iwahashi was a little gentlemanly and remembered Akina Nakamori's thin waist. In order to identify her or Chisato Moritaka who has more beautiful legs, he watched the scene of "TATTOO" on TV. The most impressive, in addition to the legs, is the waist.
As a result, I thought of it with Yukiko Okada.
"The stage of 'TATTOO' is really super luxurious, I've seen it on TV several times, and it's different every time. β
In the golden age, when the TV station was at its richest, every singing stage of the popular idols was carefully designed and expensive. The gorgeous stage effect created is just right to match the gorgeous profession of idols.
Yukiko Okada sighed, "Akina-san's figure is also super good. The waist is very thin and the legs are also beautiful...... "If there is any ideal in life, then Yukiko Okada will probably want to swap bodies with Akina Nakamori."
Iwahashi Shin couldn't help but laugh when she praised Akina Nakamori.
smiled, but made Yukiko Okada embarrassed and stopped the topic.
......
The disco converted from a warehouse has a wide venue that can accommodate nearly 1,000 people at the same time, and the decoration style is not as luxurious as those high-end discos in the downtown area, and the tickets are also cheap, 1,500 yen per person.
Not only that, but on Friday and Saturday, there is no admission fee for girls to enter the venue on these two nights. Naturally, this is to attract girls to play, and further to attract business.
The "ladies first" of the merchant are all business.
Women can go straight in when entering, but men will need to go through a simple security check. Places of play have a higher probability of violence than elsewhere, and are more likely to be around people who don't need to be screened.
Yukiko Okada stepped in first, stood by the entrance, waited for Shinichi Iwahashi to come in, and said with a smile, "Let's go!"
The atmosphere of Kugai's disco is many times warmer than that of the disco in Tona, and you can feel it as soon as you enter.
Yukiko Okada, who was the first to enter, now doesn't know what to do next. He said, "Let's go!", but his feet didn't move at all.
Iwahashi Shin was half helpless, half funny, and led her inside, "Don't lose it." β
These words are not to scare her, looking at the degree of heat that is full, if you are not careful, you will be separated here.
......
After the opening of the first Kukai disco, there are merchants who have followed suit and opened new discos here.
People in the bubble era can't stay at home at night. No matter how many discos have opened in previous years, they are still full at night.
Tonight, four tourists from Xiangjiang were taken to a disco called "Galaxia" on the shore of the bay.
This team, two men and two women, heard that there is a Kugai disco called "Juliana" on this side of the Bay Shore Plaza is very popular, and it is free for ladies every Friday and Saturday, so they came to play.
For four people, you only need to pay the entrance fee for two people.
As a result, the intermediary who brought them over played tricks, pretending not to understand what they meant, and brought them to "Galaxia".
Although Galaxia is also free for women, the men's ticket costs 2,500 yen, which is a full 1,000 yen more expensive than Juliana, and in the end, there is no saving at all.
The abacus was empty, and the most important thing was that they were fooled by the intermediary, and the good mood of the four people was somewhat affected.
But they all came, and they all came to disco, and they decided to clean up their mood and go for a good dance and have fun first.
From April 1, the consumption tax will be introduced, and it will cost more money to come and play and shop again. All four of them are still college students, and they want to take advantage of the holidays to play before the consumption tax is levied.
Not long after entering the dance floor, the four of them were immersed in it, forgetting the unpleasantness just now, and interacting with people they didn't know before.
In such a place, once the atmosphere is ignited, the mind is hot.
However, if you leave for a while and then go back, the enthusiasm cools down a little, and a kind of outsider indifference is generated.
One of the two girls, went to the bathroom halfway through. Coming out of the bathroom, instead of rushing back, I want to stay in the field for a while.
She was idle and bored, observing the guests coming and going.
Suddenly, there was a flute for a moment.
