Chapter 267: Joining Forces to Create a 'Child of the Sun'
If you have to ask Hideki Hanyu to give a new look to the son of the sun, he has an evaluation.
Then it can only be described as "explosive".
Flaming red lips, punched black eyeshadow, black with red or green hairstyles, studded leather clothes, and various metal ornaments.
Looking at such a child of the sun, Hideki Hanyu turned his head and gave Matsui Motoki a dead fish-eyed gaze.
He wants to say, I'm asking you to refer to the style of visual kei, not to copy it all!
In the final analysis, other visual kei bands are still heavy metal rock.
The exaggerated shape is to match the music style and express strong inner emotions.
You are an idol group doing the same, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?
"President Hanyu, is there any problem?" Matsui Motoki's voice was somewhat trembling.
Hanyu Hideki reacted so much, coupled with the eyes staring at him at this time.
You don't have to guess to know that Hideki Hanyu is very dissatisfied with the shape of the son of the sun.
Not only Matsui Motoki, but everyone at the scene was very nervous.
Even Iijima Sanchi, who used to be Hideki Hanyu's assistant, held his breath at this time, for fear that Hideki Hanyu would get angry.
And the three 'children of the sun', who are about to debut, are a little at a loss.
They don't understand that although Hideki Hanyu has rarely participated in the management of the club, he likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
But that doesn't mean Hideki Hanyu won't care.
If Hideki Hanyu is dissatisfied with Yoyoko and does not approve of it, he will directly stop the debut of this group.
Even if it's Asako Hirohashi, it's useless to intercede.
"Are the three of them happy with their looks?"
Hideki Hanyu asked Motoki Matsui.
His tone was very flat, but listening to Matsui Motoki's ears made him extremely nervous.
But Hanyu Hideki asked, and Matsui Motoki still replied stubbornly.
"I took the styling style of some underground bands in Tokyo and had the designers refine them to be more mature and bold than them, so I think it's still very different."
When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
I'm meowing to let you absorb the characteristics, not let you carry it forward.
The look you're doing for the three of you now is even more exaggerated than the visual kei itself!
How?
The pinnacle of the visual system, the name of the founder of Kill Matt, you Matsui Motoki want it so.
Suppressing the urge to complain in his heart, Hideki Hanyu asked again.
"Matsui-san, what is the most important thing about an idol group?"
"Music, combination style......" Matsui Motoki said several times in a row.
Matsui Motoki said as he spoke, as if he had a feeling that the child of the sun he had created was quite good.
Hanyu Hideki listened to Matsui Motoki's words, and then looked at the reactions of the people around him.
He found that many people in the rehearsal room actually showed approving expressions.
Obviously, in the eyes of people in this era, the shape of the Son of the Sun at this time may still be very trendy and avant-garde.
However, Hideki Hanyu's dissatisfaction with the shape of the child of the sun is not the style of the spicy eyes.
He tried his best not to be affected by the aesthetics of later generations, and said calmly.
"Matsui-san's idea is good, but he ignores important things." Hideki Hanyu said.
"President Hanyu, please speak." Motoki Matsui respectfully asked.
The people next to him also put on a look of deference.
Although Hanyu Hideki has never made a move since he created a Genki girl.
If you have to have it.
wrote a song for 'F4', who was filming a TV series, and guided the F4 character style in the filming of the TV series, which was barely half a shot.
Among the people, the most serious one is Iijima Sanzhi, who has actually begun to take over the management of cloud arts.
After the Genki Girl, it can be said that there has never been a top artist on the cloud.
The pressure on Iijima Sanchi is very high, and he has thought about asking Hanyu Hideki to go out of the mountain.
Today, I saw that Hideki Hanyu had the meaning of pointing, so of course I had to listen carefully.
Hideki Hanyu lifted a finger.
"Matsui-san must understand that if an idol wants to become famous, he must have his own style characteristics.
If it is a group, each member must have a strong sense of identity when the style is uniform.
As for the three children of the sun, this style is indeed very alternative and eye-catching, but the styles of the three of them are too similar to each other. β
Hanyu Hideki's words came to this, and the eyes of the people around unconsciously looked at the three energetic girls who were watching the excitement.
Yukiko Okada, who looks curious and confused.
Yoko Minamino, who has an expressionless face and short hair and cool hair.
Minako Honda, who has a sweet smile and is gentle and lovely.
Anyone who knows the Genki Girl, even if they are not their fans, can tell the characteristics of the three and accurately distinguish the three.
Together, the three of them are the Genki storm that swept across Asia.
But under the subdivision, they have their own characteristics, and they all have their own different supporters.
On the other hand, the three of them stood there, and they couldn't tell who was who.
If you sing and dance on stage, I'm afraid even the fans will be confused.
At this point, Hideki Hanyu continued.
"Matsui-san has refined and perfected the shape of the underground band, but he still continues their style, which makes the child of the sun look different, but not unique.
And the styling style of those bands is based on heavy metal rock music, and it is not suitable for idol groups. β
When Hideki Hanyu said this, he suddenly asked Akina Nakamori beside him, "What do you think of Akina-chan?" β
was eating melons and watching the lively Akina Nakamori, but I didn't expect to be named by Hideki Hanyu.
At first, he was stunned, and then he said with some embarrassment.
"I think Hanyu-sensei is right."
"Mingcai-chan don't be nervous, just say whatever you want, since they're going to make their debut, they have to stand up to criticism."
Hideki Hanyu encouraged.
Hideki Hanyu is still very optimistic about Akina Nakamori's fashion vision.
Since this year, the other party has begun to participate in the production of his own record.
I remember that after next year, I will start to officially serve as the producer of my own music.
Personal styling and the like were personally arranged very early.
And because of his memories of his previous life, his evaluation will inevitably carry some aesthetics of later generations.
So I still hope that Akina Nakamori will evaluate it from the perspective of this era.
Encouraged by Hideki Hanyu, Akina Nakamori thought a little and said boldly.
"I went to LiveHouse to see this kind of band perform, and their music has a very strong mood, and with their unique shapes, they can play to the advantages of music.
I think the Children of the Sun just imitate this style, and if the matching music is not suitable, it will have the opposite effect.
Also, what Hanyu sensei said, the three of them now only have a unified style, but they don't have their own characteristics, so it's easy to attract attention, but they can't keep fans. β
After listening to Akina Nakamori's words, Hideki Hanyu instructed Motoki Matsui.
"Show me the debut song."
When Matsui Motoki heard this, he hurriedly arranged a performance.
At this time, the nervous people are Chuck and Asuka Hideyuki Shibata and Shigeaki Miyazaki.
After the two of them moved to Yunshang Arts, they were still very satisfied with the current situation.
Not only is the welfare package better than in Yamaha.
And in terms of music creation, cloud music also gives a lot of freedom.
They create when they want, they tour when they want, and they don't demand anything about what they have to do.
The most important thing is to make them work as music producers for new groups.
And no one intervened, let them do it.
At this time, Hideki Hanyu was not satisfied with the shape of the child of the sun.
They were afraid that Hideki Hanyu would also be dissatisfied with the debut song they had written.
The prelude sounded, and the three children of the sun also took a stance, ready to dance.
Motoki Matsui introduced in a timely manner, "This debut song is called 'Wings of Asura', which was written and composed by Shibata-san and Miyazaki-san, and arranged by himself. β
With the introduction of Matsui Motoki, the song begins, and the dance of the child of the sun also begins.
The original music was played on the spot, and the three of them focused on dancing and did not open the microphone to sing.
Then Hanyu Hideki looked at it and frowned.
In the eyes of everyone at the scene, Hideki Hanyu didn't wait for the song to finish, and raised his hand directly.
"Alright, you can stop."
In the rehearsal room at this time, the three children of the sun were at a loss, and all the executives were flustered.
Even a fool can see that Hideki Hanyu is very dissatisfied.
Everyone was afraid that Hideki Hanyu, who stopped the performance halfway, would say, "You disappointed me so much."
But Hideki Hanyu only sighed and didn't speak immediately.
In his opinion, although there are musical problems in the performance just now, it is not a big one.
This song "Wings of Asura", he had not heard it in his previous life.
But the song is catchy and clearly tailored to the Child of the Sun's styling style.
It's still a saliva song, but with a little 'cruel' feeling, it can be regarded as a masterpiece among idol songs.
Chuck and Asuka clearly put their intentions into it.
The main problem is the choreography.
In this day and age, most idols can't sing or dance.
After all, many idols release songs, but they don't even make music videos, so how can fans watch singing and dancing.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was only after he created a vitality girl that he brought about the trend of singing and dancing.
Later, the 'Blue Girl' group of Yanyin Studio followed suit, which made many idols start to imitate it.
Even many TV stations have set up MTV programs because of this.
But it's also limited to the range of groups, and SOLO idols still rarely sing and dance.
In fact, in the cloud arts, only the Genki Girl will create an exclusive dance when singing.
Even Shingo Kazami, who takes the break dance route, doesn't choreograph every song.
Matsui Motogui was able to create a debut dance for the son of the sun, which is indeed rare.
It can be seen that Matsui Motoki has great ambitions and wants the son of the sun to achieve the same success as the Genki girl.
It's a pity that the choreography is really hard to describe.
is a very stylish idol song, but the choreography is ordinary and old-fashioned, and the action design is soft.
With an alternative styling style, it's like a group of demons dancing.
After waiting for a moment, Hideki Hanyu spoke.
"The choreography lacks a sense of power, the movements are cumbersome and concise, and the choreography lacks attractive elements."
After a simple evaluation, Hideki Hanyu understood that it was useless to just criticize.
Even if he stops his debut and lets the Children of the Sun return to the furnace to rebuild, I'm afraid these people still won't be able to come up with something that satisfies him.
It seems that I can only end up in person.
"I'll take care of the choreography."
Hanyu said and looked at Chuck and Asuka.
"But before choreographing, I asked Shibata-san and Miyazaki-san to rearrange the debut song, and I wanted a stronger sense of rhythm."
"Yes, President Hanyu."
After Chuck and Asuka agreed, Hideki Hanyu asked Motoki Matsui beside him again.
"Do you have colored pens and a drawing board for modeling?"
Matsui Motogui hadn't answered yet, but Iijima Sanchi spoke first, "There is a picture on the cloud, I'll send someone to get it." β
She said and hurriedly ordered the staff to get it.
At this time, although Iijima Sanzhi was still a little scared in his heart, he was more excited.
Because she had already heard it, Hideki Hanyu was going to take action in person.
In the rehearsal room at this time, even the eyes of the young girl who looked at the three children of the sun were full of envy.
After all, even they haven't been personally guided by Hideki Hanyu for a long time.
After a while, the staff took colored pens and drawing boards from the cloud screening.
Hideki Hanyu picked up the sketchpad, spread out the brushes of different colors, and looked at Shinsuke Hirasawa, the captain of the 'Children of the Sun'.
The appearance of the other party is a slightly tougher type among the three.
According to the characteristics of the other party's appearance, he quickly began to paint.
Shinsuke Hirazawa's head gradually appeared on the drawing paper.
The styling is still exaggerated and impactful.
It can be seen that it has absorbed the characteristics of visual kei.
But it's more concise and a different style entirely.
The golden and black hair color is shaped on the head as a pointed sea urchin head.
The makeup on the face is not deliberately exaggerated, and it is mainly based on highlighting the advantages of the appearance.
But around the right eye, I used a brush to sketch an intricate tattoo-like pattern.
Akina Nakamori, who was sitting next to Hideki Hanyu, was carefully looking at Hideki Hanyu's design, but suddenly saw Hideki Hanyu turn her head and ask her.
"Akina-chan thinks this look goes with what kind of clothes are suitable."
Because of the encouragement just now, Akina Nakamori didn't panic, and after thinking for a while, she began to speak.
"A black canvas jacket for the upper body."
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he brushed and brushed to help Shinsuke Hirasawa draw the upper body.
"The chest of the jacket is a little opener, with a silver pendant, with a metal zipper, and the hem should not be too tight......"
Hideki Hanyu continued to paint the clothes and details as Akina Nakamori said.
However, when he paints, he also makes changes according to his own ideas.
"Slim black cargo pants on the bottom, preferably with some metal chain ......"
In this way, one person speaks, one person draws, communicates with each other, refers to each other.
It didn't take long for Shinsuke Hirasawa's new look to be released.
When Hanyu Hideki raised his head again, he realized that there was already a circle of people around him watching their 'design' process.
He didn't mind, so he put on a new piece of paper and watched as Mannosuke Ishimura from 'Children of the Sun' drew again.
It is still the head design that comes first.
Ishimura Mannosuke is the youngest of the three, and he has a cute feeling in his handsome appearance, and belongs to the type of little milk dog that later generations said.
A black blank hat is worn on the head, a fully sealed windscreen is tied to the brim, and the hair after tin foil is drilled out of the hat, making it slightly messy.
In terms of makeup, it also doesn't need to be too strong, mainly highlighting the feeling of Ishimura Mannosuke's own little milk dog.
"Akina-chan, I'll leave the clothes to you." Hideki Hanyu looked at Akina Nakamori.
"No problem."
Akina Nakamori said energetically.
"A black tank top, with a sporty look, with fingerless gloves...... To skateboard shoes......"
After completing the design of Ishimura Mannosuke's modeling, he then looked at Kusuna Tsunashi at the end.
Among the three 'Children of the Sun', Nan Gangliang's appearance is the most "beautiful".
The "beauty" here refers to the feminine and handsome feeling that tends to be neutral.
Hideki Hanyu began to style each other's hair.
She has a silver-white hair color, feminine parted bangs, and a ponytail that is fluffy and bursts open at the back of her head.
The makeup part is naturally to intensify the feminine features, dark eyeshadow and lip color......
Finally, in terms of clothes, Akina Nakamori designed a top with a hem like a skirt in addition to black tight pants.
When Hideki Hanyu drops the last strokes on the drawing paper.
The 'Child of the Sun', which he teamed up with fashion expert Akina Nakamori, is freshly baked.
He laid out the drawing paper in turn, and the three boys who jumped on the paper "Kill Matt" appeared in the eyes of everyone.
Compared to the previous cookie-cutter, ghostly 'visual kei' shape.
At this time, the new shape of the 'Son of the Sun' on the painting paper is really "refreshing and concise".
The most important thing is that each person has designed a completely different look according to their own appearance characteristics.
The characteristics of each are fully exerted and highly recognizable.
Hanyu Hideki pointed to the three pieces of drawing paper, and without consulting any opinions, he asked Matsui Motoki directly.
"When will the costume be ready?"
Motoki Matsui looked at his watch and found that it was past noon time to eat before he knew it.
I wanted to give him a day, but I was worried that I wouldn't have enough time, so I could only say, "It's absolutely fine in two days." β
"Two days later, then."
After Hanyu finished speaking, he walked over to a synthesizer in the rehearsal room, casually typed in a rhythmic melody, and clicked play.
Then he walked to the middle of the rehearsal room, took off his suit shirt, loosened his tie, unbuttoned the top of his shirt, and removed the gold-rimmed flat mirror from his face.
In an instant, his whole body seemed to have unlocked some seal, dancing to the melody he had entered.
Everyone felt a sense of power from Hideki Hanyu's dance, which they had never felt before.
Every dance move that Hanyu Hideki stuck on the rhythm seemed to hit the hearts of everyone at the scene.
The charm of the whole person is incomparably strong.
After a few moments, Hideki Hanyu stopped dancing and looked at Chuck and Asuka.
"Shibata-san, Miyazaki-san, that's what I want to feel like arranger, understand?"
Shibata Hideyuki and Miyazaki Shigeaki nodded in surprise in their eyes, "Yes, President Hanyu." β
They actually want to say more.
Grown, you're so powerful, we're under a lot of pressure.
As a professional musician, it is more shocking than the dance of Hideki Hanyu.
I was even more shocked by the melody that Hanyu Hideki entered casually.
They felt that the melody was a little bit extended, and it was a very powerful piece of music.
That strong style has brought them a lot of inspiration and inspiration.
"I'll be back in two days, hurry up." Hideki Hanyu told again.
"Yes, President Hanyu." The two hurriedly replied.
"You've worked hard, I'll take my leave first."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking to everyone, he walked towards the rehearsal room,
Reiko Uemura, who helped him with his clothes and glasses, followed closely.
When he went out, everyone in the rehearsal room unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Chuck and Asuka, two newcomers, are seeing the strength of Hideki Hanyu for the first time.
Among them, Shibata Hideyuki said in an incredible tone, "Chairman Hanyu was not popular at the beginning? β
Apparently he knows the black history of Hideki Hanyu's idol.
Shigeaki Miyazaki joked, "I feel like President Hanyu should make his debut." β
Who wants to be next to the president of Cloud Music Matsushita Katsuhito heard this, and answered with a smile.
"You're not the first to say that."
However, everyone at the scene knows that with Hideki Hanyu's current status, it is impossible to debut as an artist.
In fact, not to mention the debut, in order to support the vitality of the girl, Hanyu Hideki personally performed the show in the show, but now it is impossible.
"Hanyu-sensei is so handsome!"
It seems that Yukiko Okada, who has just broken free from the charm of Hanyu Hideki, suddenly said loudly.
Then she saw that Hideki Hanyu had left, as if she remembered something.
"It's hard to see Hanyu-sensei, I must have Hanyu-sensei for dinner, let's catch up."
Then he chased out of the rehearsal room first.
Yoko Minamino didn't say a word, and followed.
Minako Honda smiled and invited Akina Nakamori, "Akina-chan, let's go together." β
At this moment, Akina Nakamori is full of pictures of Hanyu Hideki dancing.
When Minako Honda said this, she instinctively agreed, "Okay." β
After saying that, he left with Minako Honda.
In the rehearsal room, seeing that the Genki girl has such a good relationship with Akina Nakamori and Hideki Hanyu, the eyes of the three 'children of the sun' who have not yet debuted are full of envy.
After all, this is the big boss, the chairman of the cloud entertainment.
There are so many big names in the rehearsal room, and they have to be respectful when they see each other on weekdays.
But in the face of Hanyu Hideki's dissatisfaction, there was not even a single refutation.
The benefits of getting in touch with such a boss are self-evident.
At this time, Matsui Motogui happened to come over, and after discovering the eyes of the three of them, he said with a smile.
"Don't look at it, this kind of thing can't be envied.
They joined at the beginning of the club's establishment, and the signing was all discussed by President Hirohashi, and they lived in President Hirohashi's house before their debut.
The choreography, music, and costumes were all created by Chairman Hanyu himself. β
After speaking, he looked at the three pieces of drawing paper in his hand and continued.
"But you're not bad, it's not for nothing that I can let President Hanyu design the styling and choreography himself."
But Matsui Motoki is just talking.
Today with good luck, Hideki Hanyu is willing to make a move.
If Hideki Hanyu doesn't want to make a move, then the end that awaits him will be terrible.
β¦β¦
After leaving Cloud Entertainment and having lunch with the young girl and Akina Nakamori, Hideki Hanyu went to Elf Entertainment again.
"Hanyu-san came here at this time, is there anything urgent?"
As soon as Hideki Hanyu entered Eri Kitahara's office, he heard this question.
"I went to cloud entertainment in the morning, so I stopped by to have a look." Hideki Hanyu explains.
In fact, before coming to Eri Kitahara's office, he had already gone around the three major studios.
After confirming that there were no problems with the game development of the three major studios, this came up.
After speaking, he looked through the window of the office and looked at the location of the old factory building, the height of the two office buildings had already peaked, and the faΓ§ade was almost under construction.
"It doesn't seem to be long before we move into the new building."
"yes, we should be able to move in early next year."
After saying that, Eri Kitahara asked, "Are you really not moving the cloud culture in?" β
"No, the cloud culture will stay in this old building."
Hideki Hanyu said.
New office building, he only plans to let Elf Entertainment move in.
As for cloud culture, it does not belong to a system in the first place, so there is no need to force it in.
"I looked at the recent report of Amerika, and the sales of Pokeball 2 have leveled off after surpassing three million.
The capacity of the factory is fully satisfied, and I think the time has come for the Pokeball 2 to be launched in Neon.
Originally, I was going to make a marketing plan with the sales department, and then inform Hanyu-san, since you are here today, I will say it in advance. β
Eri Kitahara said.
"Has Kitahara-san figured out when to go public?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"From now on, it will be officially available in December, and I think the Pokeball 2 will be a great New Year's gift in the New Year."
Eri Kitahara replied.
"It seems that Kitahara-san has even thought of the advertising slogan." Hideki Hanyu said.
"The advertising words don't matter, as long as the Pokeball 2 is on the market normally, there will be no problems with sales."
Eri Kitahara's tone was full of confidence.
Pokeball 2 is highly sought after in America, and it doesn't need Genie Entertainment to promote, and Neon Media takes the initiative to report it.
Not only print media, but even TV stations traveled to America to film American consumers queuing up to buy Pokeball 2.
When the neon public saw Amerika consumers lining up the night before to grab a Pokeball 2, even the night before, vanity and pride were satisfied.
Naturally, they were looking forward to the Pokeball 2.
They have asked Genie Entertainment to go public as soon as possible.
However, at the beginning, the production of Pokeball 2 naturally had to give priority to satisfying America.
As a result, Genie Entertainment can only procrastinate under various excuses.
Pokeball 2 is available on Neon, and it can be said that everyone is looking forward to it.
Naturally, Eri Kitahara is confident in sales.
Of course, Hideki Hanyu knows this.
And this is exactly what he is pursuing, to defeat all opponents with dignity.
Instead of going off the rails like when PokΓ© Ball was launched, it used discriminatory treatment events to market.
Eri Kitahara said another thing at this time.
"One more thing, Neon already has several game developers who want to be able to access the Pokeball 2 platform."
"It seems that our sales in America have made a lot of people's hearts moved." Hideki Hanyu said with a smile.
"With more than three million units sold, enough to give birth to a million-selling game cartridge, how could they not be impressed."
Eri Kitahara said.
"Did Kitahara-san tell them about our login system?"
The franchise system that Hanyu is talking about is the variant royalty system he developed in America and Michael Katz.
"Having said that, basically different conditions were put forward, some hoped to reduce the royalty, some wanted to give them separate preferential conditions, some were unwilling to share the copyright benefits, and some wanted to get the right to produce cassette."
Eri Kitahara replied.
"Tell them that our rules will never change, that no matter how big or small the club is, we don't look at the name of the club, we only look at the quality of the game."
Hideki Hanyu didn't have any intention of backing down.
All these developers want is profit, and if Genie Entertainment relaxes its conditions and spoils the reputation of the Pokeball 2 platform, it will only be itself that suffers.
As for these developers, it's a big deal to pat their butts and leave, anyway, they don't care if the platform is good or bad.
"Of course I won't budge, in fact, our conditions are much better than Nintendo's." Eri Kitahara said helplessly.
"It's the nature of businessmen to chase profits, don't worry about them, we don't lack games for the time being, and I believe there will be changes after the year." Hideki Hanyu said.
According to Michael Katz, after the three-month release of Pokeball 2, the new games "Kung Fu" and "Knock on the Ice" were quite successful.
In less than a month, the two games combined sold more than 300,000 cartridges.
And "Super Mario Bros.", which only landed on the arcade platform, was enthusiastically sought after by arcade players.
Genie Entertainment America has decided to launch the Pokeball 2 cassette of Super Mario Bros. during the Christmas season.
I believe that with the charm of "Super Mario Bros.", Pokeball 2 and game cartridges will usher in another wave of sales peaks.
At that time, the facts are in front of you, and now the game developers who still want to negotiate the conditions will beg them to land on Pokeball 2.
The two chatted in the office for a while, and when they saw that it was about to be time to get off work, suddenly the phone on Eri Kitahara's desk rang.
Eri Kitahara picked up and listened to a few words, then looked at Hideki Hanyu.
"The second editor-in-chief of Dagao City wants to see you."
"Let him come up." Hideki Hanyu said.
Then he asked Eri Kitahara, "What is he looking for me?" β
Eri Kitahara hung up the phone and explained with a smile, "I guess I should ask Hanyu-san for credit." β
"Credit?" Hideki Hanyu looked strange.
"Dragon Ball has been released for three times, and readers love it, does Hanyu-san know what the latest circulation of Elf Cute is?"
Eri Kitahara explained.
"It should sound good." Hideki Hanyu said.
"It's very good, it has officially exceeded 2 million, surpassing Kodansha's weekly Shonen Magazine's highest sales and becoming Neon's third largest manga magazine."
When Eri Kitahara talked about this, his tone was inevitably slightly excited.
After all, she was born in a publishing house, and it is inevitable that she will be excited about the birth of a neon third largest comic magazine.
"Yes, it's finally a little bit like that." Hideki Hanyu said.
"Isn't Hanyu-san happy? Why does it look so calm? Eri Kitahara asked.
"I'm very happy, and I'm looking forward to Cute being the first in the game." Hideki Hanyu replied.
In fact, the reason why he is not excited is mainly because he knows that after entering the 90s, neon will not only usher in the explosion of the music market, but also the comic market.
The circulation of two or three million in a single issue is simply uncommon.
It is not news that the single comics of various magazines sell hundreds of millions of copies a year.
Even the now seemingly half-dead "Weekly Shonen Magazine".
At that time, they all relied on the help of "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book" and "Zhonghua Ichiban" to successfully fight back "Weekly Shonen Jump".
With a circulation of more than four million, it became the first comic magazine in Neon.
What's more, "Weekly Shonen Magazine" will have a lot of great comics in the future.
"Fairy Tail", "Devil's Eye Blade", "The Shining Duo", "Attack on Titan", ......
It's all comics that he likes very much.
Now relying on two million sales to surpass, it is only temporary.
He is familiar with history, so it is naturally difficult for him to get excited.
Next, Ichchi Otaka came to Eri Kitahara's office and reported to Hideki Hanyu to check the latest sketches of Dragon Ball.
But between the words, he was showing his credit to Hideki Hanyu all the time.
Although Hanyu Hideki himself was not very excited, he would not sweep away the enthusiasm of his subordinates.
He praised Da Gao Ichiji, and asked Da Gao Ichi to continue to work hard, saying that the bonus at the end of the year will definitely not be disadvantaged.
After sending off Odaka Ichiji, seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Hideki Hanyu said goodbye directly to Eiri Kitahara.
But at this time, the assistant Reiko Uemura found him.
"Hanyu-sensei, someone called and wanted to meet you in the evening."
"Yukio-san?" Except for Yukio Tanaka, he can't think of anyone who will make a nightlife appointment with him.
After all, even Shinsuke Ito, a guy, is now a good man of the Gu family.
"No, the other party said that his name is Yasushi Akimoto."
"Yasu Akimoto, didn't he say anything?" Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, why did Qiu Chubby suddenly find him,
In the past two years, although Chubby has cooperated with cloud entertainment.
is writing songs, writing program scripts, and even participating in the script creation of some TV series.
But the number of contacts with him is getting less and less.
"Yasu Akimoto said that it was because of the girls' team, and he wanted to thank Hanyu-sensei." Reiko Uemura replied.
"Girl team, it seems that Shunichi Tsukura really contacted Yasushi Akimoto."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he instructed Reiko Uemura, "Contact Yasuya Akimoto and say ......"
Halfway through the conversation, Hideki Hanyu changed his words again, "Forget it, I'll contact you personally, Uemura-san can get off work." β
"Okay, here's his call."
β¦β¦
As soon as the sky in Tokyo was covered in night, Hideki Hanyu drove his newly acquired Ferrari Testarossa to the Azabu district of Minato-ku.
Located on the north side of Roppongi, it is home to many international schools and embassies, so it has a nightlife that is not inferior to Roppongi.
And compared to the relatively "traditional" Roppongi, Azabu's nightclubs are a little more trendy and fashionable.
In the afternoon, he called Akimoto Yasu, who asked him to meet at a nightclub here.
Speaking of which, although he used to go to nightclubs a lot, most of the time he was invited.
I rarely take the initiative to find or research which nightclub is good.
It's not like Yukio Tanaka and Yasu Akimoto at all, and they know everything about where there are fun nightclubs in Tokyo.
For Akimoto Yasu's style, Hideki Hanyu has heard a little about it.
boasts of being a romantic genius in the circle, but has been recognized by many people.
Don't look at the chubby appearance of Akimoto Yasushi with black-rimmed glasses in the future.
But now Akimoto Yasu, who is a little fat, is also a little fresh meat in terms of appearance.
Even if you make your debut as an idol, it's not impossible.
After arriving at the destination, Hideki Hanyu didn't see Yasushi Akimoto, so he parked the car at the door, leaned on the body and waited.
When he came out to play in the evening, he dressed up quite relaxed.
He wears a white long-sleeved T-shirt and a Yomiuri Giants baseball jersey jacket over it.
The bottom body is black slacks and skateboard shoes.
In addition to the disguise with a baseball cap and sunglasses.
It feels like a young first-year student who has just entered the field ball club at some university.
It is completely impossible to equate him with the "highly respected" national teacher.
Fresh and handsome guys, cool supercars.
This combination is placed on the street where nightclubs are gathered, and you can imagine how attractive it is.
As soon as the wait began, there were all kinds of young girls who came up to him to ask for contact information.
Then all of them were coldly rejected by Hanyu Hideki.
But even if he kept refusing, he couldn't stop the girl's enthusiasm at all.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Qiu Chubby to arrive.
"Hanyu-san, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, I've just arrived, but if Akimoto-san doesn't come again, I'm going to run away."
Hanyu Hideki helplessly spread his hands.
Yasushi Akimoto was amused by Hideki Hanyu's words, and apparently when he came, he saw that Hideki Hanyu was asked for contact information by a girl.
"Who made Hanyu-san too popular, let's hurry up, and if we keep waiting, I won't be able to stop those girls."
Yasu Akimoto had already noticed that there were many girls around watching Hideki Hanyu.
But because he's here, he'll be embarrassed to come over for a while.
"Let's go."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he walked towards the goal under the leadership of Yasushi Akimoto.
During this period, disco dance music was the most popular in Tokyo nightclubs.
Men and women in the city, listening to the rhythmic music, twisting their bodies under the brilliant lights, venting the stress accumulated during the day.
But today, Yasu Akimoto is to thank Hideki Hanyu, so naturally he won't go to a place where he is too noisy and has to shout loudly.
The place they entered was a jazz bar with a retro dΓ©cor.
As soon as the two of them found a place to sit down, they heard the band on the stage playing a very familiar prelude.
After ordering the wine, Akimoto Yasusu saw that Hanyu Hideki was listening seriously, and asked curiously, "Hanyu-san likes this song very much." β
"I like it very much." Hideki Hanyu nodded.
Then he added, "Careless Whisper, this year's new song, was selected as one of Rolling Stone's 100 Best Songs of 1984 last month." β
Hearing what Hideki Hanyu said in such detail, Yasu Akimoto was a little surprised.
"Hanyu-san is so good, and he cares so much about world pop music, it's no wonder he can create so many best-selling songs."
"It's just that I overheard it while working in America some time ago."
Hideki Hanyu didn't explain much either.
It can't be said that the prelude to this song in later generations has been used too much in short videos.
And this song is very popular in neon, and eighty percent of it is also because of that prelude, which has a very city-pop flavor.
Not wanting to talk about music anymore, Hideki Hanyu looked at the environment of this bar and joked, "I didn't expect Akimoto-san to come to this style of bar." β
Yasu Akimoto smiled and explained, "Some girls like this kind of place that seems to be stylish, so I come here occasionally. β
"I see." Hideki Hanyu had a look I understood.
Even if Yasushi Akimoto got married, he was a restless guy.
I heard that he was old, and he had an uncovered meeting with Hong Kong Hao.
However, it is not surprising that young people are wanderers, and they still expect their temperament to change greatly after marriage.
At this time, Yasu Akimoto closed his expression and thanked Hideki Hanyu in a solemn tone.
"Hanyu-san was invited this time to thank Hanyu-san for introducing me to Shunichi Tokura."
Just this morning, he was commissioned by Shunichi Tsukura to officially become the producer of the girl team.
Although he used to make a little famous by writing lyrics for others.
But to be a producer based on this is a fool's dream.
It is even more impossible to get in touch with a figure of the level of Shunichi Tsukura.
Now, with the introduction of Hideki Hanyu, he doesn't know how many years of struggle he has saved.
The girls' team has not spent a lot of money before, and if he can make this group improve a little, he can reach the sky in one step.
Therefore, his gratitude to Hideki Hanyu at this time is absolutely sincere.
"Qiu Yuan-san, you don't have to be polite, I once heard you talk about some ideas for building a combination, and casually mentioned to Dukura-san, can get Ducang-san's approval, or because of your talent."
Hideki Hanyu said modestly.
He understands that even without himself, Qiu Chubby will still become famous next year through the Kitten Club.
"There are many talented people in this world, but not everyone can get the opportunity, if Hanyu-san needs help in the future, please feel free to ask."
"A little thing ......"
Hideki Hanyu said a few more polite words to Yasusu Akimoto.
It happened that the waiter brought the wine, and the two of them had a few glasses, which led the topic to some interesting stories in the circle.
Di Di Di β
As he was talking, Yasushi Akimoto's pager suddenly rang.
Yasu Akimoto looked at the number and said to Hideki Hanyu, "I'm sorry, I'll call back." β
Hanyu Hideki said, "Akimoto-san, please." β
Yasu Akimoto walked over to the bar counter and borrowed the bar's phone.
After calling back, Akimoto Yasushi just said a few words, and the phone didn't hang up, so he returned with a strange expression.
"It's Tsukura-san's phone, he knows that I am with Hanyu-san, and he asks who is there, and then asks me to ask Hanyu-san, can he come over too?"
