The person who discovered Haruko Akamatsu to become the lead singer of the band was Tatsuya Hirakawa, and after Haruko Akamatsu planned to quit the group, the gentlest person to her was Tatsuya Hirakawa.

The reason why this is so is not only because he invited Haruko Akamatsu to take his eyes and had to take responsibility, but also because of the morale of the band and the thoughts of his teammates.

Drummer Masahiro Koyanagi was Tatsuya Hirakawa's original partner and didn't say much about Haruko Akamatsu's withdrawal, but bassist Tomohisa Kawa was unhappy with Haruko Akamatsu.

The teammates are dissatisfied with Haruko Akamatsu, and because of this, Tatsuya Hirakawa can't also blame Haruko Akamatsu, so as not to add fuel to the fire.

Iwahashi Shinichi asked Haruko Akamatsu to find a suitable new lead singer, and Tatsuya Hirakawa also knew about this, and similarly, he also knew that Haruko Akamatsu's efforts were a bit long but had been fruitless.

Now, I suddenly learned that she had brought a girl here to record the audition tape, and I especially asked Iwahashi Shinichi to listen to it, Tatsuya Hirakawa instinctively thought about the new lead singer, and couldn't help but be curious.

On this side, Tatsuya Hirakawa put on headphones, and on the other side, Shinichi Iwahashi planned to ask Seiichiro Kuribayashi a little more detail about Sachiko Kamaike.

As a result, Seiichiro Kuribayashi shook his head, "Haruko just introduced her to me, and I didn't talk about it in more detail after that, I just knew that she was a model artist." ”

It's just that the model artist is weird. Iwahashi Shinichi thought.

As soon as I first listened to this Kamaike Sachiko's audition tape, Iwahashi Shinichi also subconsciously thought about the new lead singer, and the performance in this Kamaike Sachiko audition tape was really good.

However, immediately after that, Seiichiro Kuribayashi said that she was a model artist. Since he is a model artist, he is also an insider. Once you become an insider and get involved in the office, it's not as simple as pulling people from the underground music circle or school.

Bringing a model artist to audition, what is Haruko Akamatsu's plan?

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't know what Haruko Akamatsu was thinking, so he didn't make any guesses yet. It's not early, it's inconvenient to contact her now, so I can only wait for tomorrow.

However, when Iwahashi Shinichi remembered the surname Kamaike, he seemed to have heard it somewhere. Not only that, but it definitely has nothing to do with Seiko Matsuda.

Chatting about the day's kung fu here, Tatsu Hirakawa over there also took off his headphones, blinked his eyes, and wanted to say something, but he stopped talking.

Iwahashi Shin looked at him and asked, "How do you feel?" Hirakawa-san. ”

"This ......"

Tatsuya Hirakawa said a wittic, half-self-deprecating, "I want to praise her for singing well, but I haven't had much vision for looking at the lead voice." ”

In front of Shinichi Iwahashi, he didn't mind making such a joke.

However, the two lead singers who were personally selected, one went home to inherit the family business, and the other went behind the scenes halfway, which can be regarded as a bit touching.

Self-deprecation is self-deprecation, but, behind such words, it is actually Tatsuya Hirakawa's affirmation of Sachiko Kamaike.

Iwahashi Shinichi heard the true meaning of this, but said nothing. Now that I can't figure out Haruko Akamatsu's thoughts, I won't express my opinion to others first.

......

Early in the morning, Haruko Akamatsu was about to pack up and go out when she saw a pager calling her. Hit over, and on the opposite side was Shinichi Iwahashi.

"Good morning. ”

After a simple greeting, without waiting for Haruko Akamatsu to ask something, Shinichi Iwahashi got straight to the point, "Last night, I went to listen to the audition tape you said. ”

"Ahh ”

Since I called Shinichi Iwahashi to now, the interval has been a bit long. Haruko Akamatsu knew that he was busy and it was inconvenient to call and ask more, but now that she finally received a call for an answer, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But then he was a little nervous and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"How did you meet that Kamaike-san?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked instead of answering.

Haruko Akamatsu told him that they met at a sorority.

"I see. Shin Iwahashi was half joking and half serious, "I want to go to the sorority party where I can meet such people, too." ”

As soon as she said this, Haruko Akamatsu heard that he had a good impression of Sachiko Kamaike.

"However," said Iwahashi Shinichi, "even though I was a student, I was able to socialize with people in the entertainment world, and I had a wide social circle." ”

Haruko Akamatsu explained to him that it was because of the leadership of the seniors who entered the record company. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't mean to be here, but just used this conversation to talk about the origin of Sachiko Kamaike, "Has this Kamaike-san been in the industry for a long time?"

"I think I'm a newcomer...... Haruko Akamatsu told him everything she knows, "and she's a model artist at the Sage Office." ”

"Hmm. ”

Hearing that it was a model from the Star Office or a newcomer who had just entered the industry, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little disappointed.

has just entered the industry, which means that it is still very early to renew the contract, and Xingchen Office is not a small model agency that is not in the stream, so what kind of strength Sachiko Kamachi has, and how good she can sing, it seems that it has nothing to do with him.

It's a shame to miss out, but it's a pity that you're just one step away. Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

Putting down the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi stood in front of the window and looked across the road.

He was in Kawasaki's office, and he had a busy schedule recently, so in order to deal with this matter, he came over early in the morning to work overtime. At this time, there were more people queuing up in front of the elevator in the mixed commercial and residential building across the road.

The uniformed office girl was about to walk into the building's management room to get the letter, and it wasn't long before the GENZO clerk would come in with today's letter, and then find out that her boss had been working overtime for a long time.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the working girl across the street, who was wearing a blue bow tie, which was the usual style.

Puchi ......

Sachiko Kamaike......

Out of regret, he subconsciously kept thinking about the name in his heart. At this time, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I remembered that when I went to buy that flat of land, the female employee of Kanzaki Real Estate who had lent him a pen was surnamed "Kachi".

Kanzaki Real Estate's female staff uniforms also use this blue bow tie.

The surname Kamachi is not like the surname Sato, and if you walk around the street, you can meet nine people with the surname Sato. But does this kachichi have anything to do with the kabuike of Kanzaki Real Estate?

Shinichi Iwahashi came up with such a jumpy idea.

The office lady opposite walked out of the building's management room, waiting for the elevator with a stack of letters in her hand. As if to test this idea of jumping, Shin'ichi Iwahashi opened the drawer and went to find Kanzaki Real Estate Imai's business card.

The phone was connected, and Iwahashi Shinichi reported to the door, "I'm Iwahashi who was taken care of by you before. ”

"Hello Iwahashi-san. Imai's tone didn't sound polite, but he really remembered him. Customers who bought a square meter of land, such a transaction is rare after all, and it was not a long time ago, and it is normal to remember.

Not only that, "Your last name is rare, and I remember who you are when I say it." Imai said.

The surname Iwahashi is not like the surname Watanabe, and when you shout "Watanabe-san" on the street, there are always a few people who turn around for you. Speaking of surnames, Iwahashi Shinichi said casually, "Isn't there a rare Kamaike-san over there?"

"Kachi-san. Imai smiled and talked to him, "It's still a new story, this Kamaike-san left the company a few months ago. ”

"It can't be 'Shou Retirement Society', right?"

The so-called Shou Retirement Company means to resign because of marriage. Powder-collar people leave the company once they get married, which is the norm in this society, and at the same time, it is also a tacit rule in all walks of life.

"Not really. Imai said, "Or rather, it's fresh because it's not." That Ka Chi-san resigned to become an artist. ”

"Being an artist ......" Iwahashi Shinichi moved in his heart.

"yes. Pu Chi-san was in the company, and he refused to even agree to a separate invitation from a male colleague, thinking that he was the kind of person who would marry and resign immediately after he got old, but he didn't expect to resign because he wanted to enter the art industry. ”

Imai's words may not be without implicit ridicule of Sachiko Kamaike.

A girl who refuses to go on a solo date with a male colleague turns around and becomes an entertainer who wants to show her head and deal with various cameras and strangers.

With such a contrast between the front and back, there may be many people in the company who feel that Sachiko Kamachi is usually not frank enough, or that she is tempted by fame and fortune.

Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't know what Sachiko Kamaike is like in the company, so he doesn't care what he thinks of her, and likewise, he doesn't have a prejudice against her.

However, from Imai I know that Sachiko Kamaike is also an artist, and there seems to be some kind of light in common between the two "Sachiko Kamaike".

Is this model artist Sachiko Kamaike the same person as Sachiko Kamaike, a former real estate office worker?

At this time, Imai on the phone asked, "Do you have any orders?" ”

Iwahashi Shinichi retracted his thoughts and replied quietly, "I've been thinking about buying a small house lately, and I'm also thinking about the Shinjuku area, and I want to ask how the land prices are going there. ”

"The rally is good, it's just going up at full speed. Imai told him that the average price of land in Shinjuku has risen by 500,000 yen compared to when he bought the flat land, and the price of good land is even more crazy.

This situation is obviously sick, but it is also because of this pathology that Shinchi Iwahashi has changed his current GNZO by leaning on a flat land, and from this point of view, he has also benefited from this pathology.

"The square floor of land you bought has now appreciated by about 600,000 yen. Imai told him.

"So much?"

"It's incredible, isn't it? However, for us real estate agents, no matter how much the price rises now, it won't feel incredible. It's not alarmist to say this, Iwahashi-san, the price of land will definitely rise again, and the best time to buy is 'now'. Imai said.

When Iwahashi heard this, he didn't think so. However, these words are the true truth that I am convinced of now.

In this current situation, if someone stands up and says that "the real estate bubble will soon collapse and the economy will be finished", I am afraid that they will either be regarded as a psychopathy or as a red-eyed monster.

"However, there is a piece of gossip about your land. Imai sold him a good guy and took the initiative to say, "The area where the flat land is located seems to have a plan for demolition and reconstruction. ”

"Really?"

"I've just heard that there is a plan like that, so I can't count them. When you bought the flat land, you also know that the ownership of the land there is complicated and messy, and it is not convenient to acquire, so although the lot is not bad, it has not been included in the development plan. ”

Indeed, such a place is the so-called hard bones. Not only that, in such an area, the residents are often extraordinarily united, the family does not let go, and the collective price increases, and if you want to collect this land, ordinary people can't do it.

Iwahashi only listened to it, anyway, there is only one square of land, and it is impossible to make a fortune by relying on this flat land demolition to live a plain life of a chartered public from now on.

He accepted Imai's kind words and told him to think about it again and then have time to look at the store.

Before hanging up the phone, Imai didn't forget to add fire to him, telling him, "It's not easy to buy a house now, many places have begun to implement the lottery system, and if you can't shake the medium, you don't even have the qualifications to enter the house." There are fewer and fewer good locations, and even if you don't consider appreciation, it is better to buy a satisfactory house sooner than later. ”

Well, lottery to buy a house.

It's a familiar word.

......

Kanzaki Real Estate's Sachiko Kamaike, if it was the Sachiko Kamaike brought by Haruko Akamatsu, in that case, Shinichi Iwahashi would have missed a good seedling from under his nose.

However, he did not feel much remorse for finding out.

It's not because it's just a guess, but in the final analysis, singing is good and can't be written on his face, and he can't rely on his face to find out whether a person can sing, so even if the two Puchi are the same person, it's not that he let the fish leak out of the net.

However, even if he does not feel regretful, this situation of having seen her once and now seeing her talents, but missing the opportunity because he was one step late, still can't help but make Iwahashi feel regretful.

A few days after this incident, on the 23rd, it was the final selection of the audition meeting jointly organized by U-MIZ and the magazine.

Iwahashi Shinichi took the initiative to ask Watanabe about the Manyumi audition, just so that he could choose a suitable new lead singer from among them. And Watanabe Manyumi also guessed his intentions, so he took the initiative to invite him to participate in the review meeting of the final election.

Otherwise, according to their tacit agreement not to participate in the affairs of the other company, they will never do such a seemingly indistinguishable thing.

Shinichi Iwahashi decided to put Sachiko Kamaike's audition tape aside first, and first see if there was a suitable new lead singer among the people who entered the final selection.

The final selection began at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the venue was not in the U-MIZ office, but in a spacious venue rented temporarily. Shinichi Iwahashi went to meet with Watanabe Manyumi first, and then the two moved together to the location of the final election.

"I'm really looking forward to what kind of people will be chosen. ”

The emotionless driver drove silently, and Watanabe Manyumi said to Shinichi Iwahashi, who was sitting in the back seat together.

"However, it's not about drawing a card, it's about revealing all the cards in front of you and picking the one with the highest number of points. Shinichi Iwahashi made this analogy.

Watanabe Manyumi smiled and corrected him, "Although this is almost the case, it is not certain which card to choose. ”

"Oh?" Iwahashi Shinichi turned his face to look at her.
