After the company was demarcated, Yanyin came forward to connect with Warner, and Watanabe Manyumi was responsible for communicating with Toshiba EMI. Then there was Shinichi Iwahashi, the initiator of the project, and there was an exchange between different forces on the matter.

The initial consensus was that the collaboration would be released as a single and two different versions by Warner and Toshiba EMI. The first edition was dominated by Akina Nakamori, and then the ORIGINAL LOVE version was released.

In addition, the songs will be included in the collaboration album led by Shinichi Iwahashi as part of the planning collaboration.

Of course, the song's producer is also Shinichi Iwahashi.

Because two different versions were made, the various copyrights of the song were also split in two, and Warner and Toshiba EMI each got their own share.

As long as Shinichi Iwahashi has the right to release the collaborative album, if the version led by Akina Nakamori is included in the collaborative album, the right to use it will have to be discussed with Warner.

Here is a thing called "original ownership".

Roughly speaking, the so-called "original disk" refers to the master tape of the record, and the original disk right is the copyright of the master tape, which is usually in the hands of the record company. Iwahashi Shinichi wants to include this song in the collaborative album, and what he needs is the consent of the song publisher to get the right to use the master tape.

The original right is so binding that many singers suffer greatly after terminating their contracts with the original company.

If the contract with the record company ends and the original rights to the songs released during the contract period are still in the hands of the original record company, the company has the right to give away a selection of love packages that guarantee the original mastering without the consent of the singer himself.

But on the other hand, because the singer himself does not have the original right, if he does not get the permission of the original record company, if he wants to include his former songs in the record again, he can only rearrange the song and sing it again to ensure that the original sound source is not used, otherwise he will be accused of infringement.

If you really want to talk about it, although the songwriters themselves own the copyright of the songs, basically when using the songs they composed, they only need to pay the royalties to the music association and ensure that they have royalties. What really gets people stuck is actually the copyright issues related to the publishing house.

In other words, it is always the forces that rule the industry, not the people who survive in the industry.

A senior wage earner is also a wage earner.

At this stage, the ownership and use of copyright, as well as various matters related to distribution, are decided, and the interests of all parties are decided, and only then does it take the singer's turn to appear.

Even if the producer is only responsible for the production of music and is not involved in anything other than music, he must temporarily put the order of appearance back for a while, and then it will be his turn to appear.

In the next stage, Akina Nakamori, her own music producer, and the singer of the planning center appeared at the meeting venue.

......

Today, for the first time, the people of the Quartet have come together. The participants have complex backgrounds, and the venue for the preliminary negotiation is better than the conference room of one party.

For the new round of meetings, we chose a restaurant in a beautiful environment in Tokyo, and we talked about things while enjoying food. Of course, the person in charge of paying the bill is the boss of ORIGINAL LOVE and the partner of the promoter of the cooperative project, Manyumi Watanabe.

Iwahashi Shinichi arrived as if he had nothing to do, and he would definitely not pay more than a dollar if he could eat.

In the context of the drunken money outside, and the industry's entertainment expenses are also rising and increasing year by year, even if it is a small company, in such a big environment, if it wants to knock on the door, it has to follow the standard of entertainment expenses to meet the current mainstream.

That is, Watanabe Manyumi has a lot of blood, and there is a newly grown cash cow in the office, otherwise it would be difficult for the newly opened company to operate in this era.

In a sense, while the threshold for hospitality is raised, it also increases the difficulty of small firms to survive. In such an era, it is not difficult to understand why the underworld of BURNING can be popular.

It was Watanabe Manyumi who did the east, and she was naturally the first to arrive. If you come in early, you will also need to check the layout of the venue and the menu for the future.

Iwahashi Shinichi followed her back and forth, and when he came, he used to sit next to her. On the ORIGINAL LOVE side, Takao Tajima, the absolute core of the band, was there as a representative - but only obediently sat on the sidelines and listened.

Takao Tajima is present, and Akina Nakamori, the protagonist on the stage of this collaboration, will naturally come over. And unlike the nameless newcomer who has little autonomy, in the next meeting, if there is a part that does not suit her heart, she can directly raise objections.

Iwahashi Shinichi, an expert in garlic, thought about the next situation when Akina Nakamori would accompany him to load garlic, although she hadn't arrived yet, he himself was in his heart first, and he thought it was weird and interesting.

Watanabe Manyumi glanced at him, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he felt bored, so forget it.

Not long after, someone from Kenne's side arrived, and unexpectedly, Kenichiro Nozaki was among the people who came. He was tall, and Akina Nakamori followed behind him, looking even smaller.

There was Nozaki Kimi standing in front, and Akina Nakamori behind him had more room to look at the field first.

At a glance, I saw Shinichi Iwahashi. He was in a suit and in great condition. I usually don't have the opportunity to see him in the workplace, but now I feel a little strange in my eyes.

Kenichiro Nozaki and Shinichi Iwahashi have a relationship, and Akina Mori has known about this for a long time. After greeting each other, her gaze inevitably fell on the professional woman who was with Shinichi Iwahashi.

Kenichiro-san very affectionately calls her "Manyumi Senpai".

Akina Nakamori was introduced before she came, and it was Manyu-san Watanabe, the president of the ORIGINAL LOVE office. The second daughter of a Watanabe producer in the industry.

Kenichiro Nozaki's greetings are over, and it's her turn to say hello.

Akina Nakamori owed to Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe, and after straightening up, she didn't look at Shinichi Iwahashi, but subconsciously fell on Manyumi Watanabe.

She's seen this Watanabe-san......

Seeing her in person, this thought came to Akina Nakamori's mind.

The thought swirled around in her mind, and she couldn't help but look at Watanabe Manyumi. As a result, it was discovered that Watanabe Manyumi's eyes were also watching her.

"Actually, it's not the first time I've met Nakamori-san. Watanabe Manyumi said generously.

However, this is not so much said to Akina Nakamori, but to Kenichiro Nozaki. As she said this, Watanabe Manyumi's gaze left her.

"Really?"

Nozaki reacted, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Indeed, it is still the introduction I made for you." As he spoke, he remembered the opportunity to make that introduction, and subconsciously went to see Shinichi Iwahashi.
