On the CBS Sony side, the agent who has been in charge of the work management of Nansha Weaving after her retirement contacted her and informed her about the cover.

Nansha Weaving, who has been retired for many years and is already the mother of three children, although it is not like Yamaguchi Baihui, has forgotten about the idol era, but it doesn't matter if there is a little idol who wants to sing her masterpiece, on the phone, let her agent convey her encouragement on her behalf, and the matter is over for her.

As for what she wants to see what kind of little idol dares to cover her famous songs, and what her famous songs will be rearranged into, these things don't exist.

For Nansha weaving, or for more than half of the idols in this idol era, an idol is a job, no different from being a fan collar in the company.

Once she quit her job and went home to get married, everything she used to do at work had nothing to do with her.

Everything is easy to talk about on the idol's side, and the lyricist of this song, Mieko Arima, was called by Warner Pioneer to communicate and obtained her consent.

Arrangement is generally a one-time buyout, because arrangement is a special thing, not an independent work. However, if it is a well-known arranger, it is a different matter, and the royalties will be distributed subsequently.

The person who arranged the music for "17 Years Old" was none other than the composer of this song, Kyohei Tsumi.

Kyohei Tsumi and Mieko Arima are the regular team members of Nansha Weaving's idol career, and her hit songs are all provided by the pair.

It can be said that he is the best-selling composer of the book, and the sales of his songs can circle the earth for an unknown number of circles.

He made his debut in the 60s, became famous by composing music for bands at a time when Group Sounds was all the rage, writing one ballad after another, and then producing many best-selling songs for idols, winning five Record Awards for Composition, the most in the history of the Grand Prix Awards.

No matter what type of song you listen to, you can see the name of Kyohei Tsurumi in the composer column. There are so many best-selling songs in this person that one can't help but wonder, could it be that he crossed over with a bookcase of records?

Shinichi Iwahashi, who came to this era more than thirty years later, speculated about him according to the routine of crossing, and the people of this era were much simpler and rude.

Because Tsumi Kyohei doesn't like to appear in public, and there are few related news or photos, it is speculated by the public that "Tsurumi Kyohei" is a vest, and there is no such real person at all.

Of course, people in the industry know that this is not possible.

Because, after contacting Tsurumi Kyohei through Warner Pioneer, that afternoon, Iwahashi Shinichi personally went to visit Tsurumi Kyohei.

This practice of visiting the door in person is out of respect for this great god of composition. Of course, it is also a rare thing to take this opportunity to be able to meet the side of Tsumi Jingping.

This kind of composer, people from small production companies, usually want to see it, but you can't see it.

......

In the Japanese-style room of the Tsurumi Kyohei family, Shinichi Iwahashi saw the true face of this great composer.

The composer who has been active for more than 20 years is an old man at first glance, but in fact, Kyohei Tsurumi is not yet 50 years old, and he doesn't look like an Atyste, but a bit like a minister of a big company.

After graduating from Castle Peak Gakuin University, where his academic style is open and his children have returned to China, he once again proved the true truth that "music is made by rich people".

Most of these gods who have promoted the development of pop music have good backgrounds.

Kyohei Tsurumi already knew his intention on the phone, but even so, Shinichi Iwahashi said it again in front of him, because the arranger of "17 Years Old" is also Kyohei Tsurumi, and it is even more necessary to explain to him that the arrangement of the song will be overhauled.

Tsumi Kyohei up to now,I don't know how many songs I've written.,The best-selling songs are even more grabbed.,Over the years, there have been so many singer idols who have covered his songs.,Originally, a phone call was enough.,The reason why I agreed to Iwahashi Shinichi to come to the door in person.,There is a little bit of hope in my heart to see this young man who has been in the limelight recently.。

"When I heard that it was an idol made by Iwahashi-san, I was a little surprised. After listening to his explanation, Kyohei said so.

Iwahashi looked at him and didn't answer, waiting for the next step from Kyohei Tsumi.

"Before this, I had heard your name by chance, but it was a show related to the band that was put together. ”

"Actually, before that, I was also an idol agent. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi said this to show that he had not been in contact with idols, but when he said this, he felt a little sorry for himself when he thought of what he had done to idols.

A little idol Matsumoto Akiko who relied on the transformation of the artist Salted Fish to turn over, this matter obviously couldn't reach the ears of Kyohei Tsumi who had been in the music industry, and when he said this, Akimi Kyohei let out an "oh", but he didn't ask any further.

Obviously, if he has been an agent for a well-known idol, then he will definitely bring the name of the idol when he speaks, and Kyohei Tsumimi has no intention of probing the deeds of Shinichi Iwahashi's agent career.

Coming from the era of group sounds, Kyohei Tsukimi, who once provided tunes regardless of the music genre, genre bias can be seen in anyone, but it will never appear in him.

And he, who always pays attention to the fashion trends in the music industry, felt the dawn of the band as early as when BOWWY became popular, and similarly, he, who single-handedly promoted the birth and rise of idols, was also keenly aware that idols were going downhill.

Momoko Kikuchi, an idol who was once popular, stopped working with composer Tetsuji Hayashi and formed a band this year to start again.

As an idol, she has really become popular, although she has not become that kind of phenomenal figure. Now I go to form a band, I don't know what kind of performance it will be.

However, compared to whether her band can become popular, popular idols to become bands, in a sense, Tsumi Kyohei feels that this is the defeat of the idol era.

But the band is certainly on the rise, but from the beginning to the moment it can ignite the fire, something needs to be catalytic.

Who will light this fire, will it be on the TV station, in the people, or in the record company? What role will this young producer who came to his house in order to make a female idol popular?

"If you want to talk about it, in fact, idols and bands also have times when they blend perfectly. Kyohei Tsurumi said casually, "Kenji Sawada of The Tigers is very beautiful, and it's not impossible to say that he is an idol in the band." ”

"That's true. Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "Even the Beatles had a time when they were idolized. ”

"So," he says, "I think it's a blessing to be able to produce an idol and a band at the same time." ”

Idols can form bands, and bands can become idols.
