At first, GroupSounds began to cover songs by European and American bands, and later, young people who were not satisfied with covers began to compose their own.

And the rock youth of the rabbit country, in the initial stage, also covered the songs of Europe, America and Yueben, and only began to create their own after touching some doorways.

Rabbit Country and Yueben, these two countries, in the process of development, do have too many similarities.

"Don't talk about female rock, male rock is just in the budding stage in the rabbit country. Iwahashi said.

Moreover, in the current social environment, men who engage in rock and roll are already regarded as rebellious young people, and women are even more criticized for being candidates for study classes. Therefore, female rock in the rabbit country started a lot later than male rock.

Even after a long time, there is still the notion that "girls should learn to play instruments like girls", and if a little girl learns to play a drum kit, her parents may not be happy. If you start a band, you have to be seen as a bad learner.

However, singing can rely on one's own talent, and learning musical instruments must be funded by parents, and there is a general lack of conditions for learning musical instruments in schools, so the will of parents has become unprecedentedly important, and it has become a congenital shortcoming.

"But it was in the embryonic stage that I wanted to do it. Inviting musicians from the rabbit country to communicate is more in line with the meaning of the music festival. Not only that, for the rock of the rabbit country, if the musicians who come can bring a fire back, it will not only be 'female rock', but the rock of the entire rabbit country itself. ”

Rock itself is gender-neutral, it's just the composition of the band that distinguishes these. But even so, the experience itself is universal.

Now in 1986, Shinichi Iwahashi is planning this women's music festival in Tokyo.

In the rabbit country in 1986, the word rock and roll had just rippled in the hearts of a small group of people. However, rock 'n' roll possesses a kind of magic. The ripples in this circle were not brought up by a pebble thrown into a large pond.

It was the vibration of the volcano buried in the heart before it was about to erupt, seemingly slight and inconspicuous, but it had the power to destroy the withering and decaying.

The rock of the book has passed the era of relying on foreign fire, and not only that, but after being ignited by foreign fire, it has become a new fire itself, which can light up other places.

Isn't this how human beings exchange experiences with each other, which constitutes the current world.

Thinking of this, Shinichi Iwahashi spoke again, "Before, TV series such as "Volleyball Girl" and "Blood Suspicion" were introduced to the country of rabbits, and they received a very good response. The market of the rabbit country is very large, in my opinion, it is unimaginably large. ”

"You can meet it, there are many opportunities and possibilities, although the rabbit country has not established its own entertainment market order, but the initial stage of the market, is a dynamic market. This time, if we invite musicians from Rabbit Country and communicate with them, the benefits to Watanabe Productions will far outweigh the disadvantages in the long run. ”

"Hmm. "Watanabe Manyumi thoughtfully.

In the initial stage of Rabbit Country, the entertainment market started from scratch. It is said that Ben's TV series is very popular in the rabbit country, but to the extent that it is sought after by the whole people, it is better to say that the TV series is fresh than that it is an excellent TV series.

Fresh things are good, and eating a fruit is like that.

"In the long run, a country that is developing rapidly and needs to absorb foreign cultures urgently needs to have an immeasurable market. When Shinichi Iwahashi said this, he realized that he had talked a little too much this time, and he stopped.

But Watanabe Manyumi already understood what he meant.

The entertainment market lags behind Europe and the United States, and they themselves draw nutrients from the entertainment of Europe and the United States, and then turn them into things that are in line with the national conditions of the country. One thing that the singer who broke into the United States did not understand was why the people of the United States should give up the things that their country has been playing so well and even tired of it, and accept the things of people who have walked the road they have walked.

This is just like the successors of Yamaguchi Momoe since the time of Yamaguchi Momoe, and since the time of Matsuda Seiko, one by one Matsuda Seiko's successors.

Why like imitators when you have a genuine brand? Many companies don't understand this.

But the market in the rabbit country is different. In the initial stage, the entertainment culture of Yuben, which is far more advanced than them, is full of charm for them. The similar cultures of the two countries make it easy for them to accept the songs and music.

In the long run, there is indeed a huge opportunity to build a good relationship with the rabbit country, and then to create a connection.

Watanabe Manyumi thought for a while, and the first thing she said when she reopened her mouth was, "Iwahashi-san, you are really bold. Watanabe's vision and perception of him surprised on the one hand, and surprised on the other.

Regarding her evaluation, Iwahashi Shinichi just smiled slightly and didn't answer.

At this time, even if he was evaluated as bold, Shinichi Iwahashi could still hear that Watanabe Manyumi was not criticizing him. Although for the long-term "future" he imagined in the second half, Watanabe Manyumi rarely did not affirm him as much as before.

After all, the country of rabbits is too far away, and Watanabe Manyumi has never been there, has not been in contact with the entertainment industry people over there, and knows nothing about it, although he does not think what Iwahashi Shinichi said is ridiculous, but he cannot be easily sure.

However, although he is not sure of the latter, the original mention of inviting musicians from the Rabbit Country to perform at the festival, Watanabe Manyumi felt that he could give it a try.

Anyway, it's just a show, and it's a positive thing for making this festival bigger.

Shinichi Iwahashi's vision was based on the fact that he would first pass the festival and then get in touch with him later, and it was not a project to be made immediately. Rather, it's a long-term goal.

Therefore, as long as the purpose of inviting musicians from the rabbit country to perform at the festival can be achieved, it has already achieved its own victory.

Besides, his words sounded a little unrealistic, as if he was drawing a big pie. Watanabe Manyumi did not veto and reprimanded him, and agreed that he would invite a rabbit country musician to perform, which was already very interesting.

Watanabe's thoughts have always been in tune with him and can understand him. Because of this, Shinichi Iwahashi was able to speak freely, even if it was an idea that sounded a little ridiculous at first glance.

Or rather, because Watanabe Manyumi doesn't restrain his thoughts, his thoughts can go that far.

However, it was useless to get the support of Watanabe Manyumi.

There are two sides to the pancake, and the first is to first approve the idea of expanding the festival to an international scale with the Planning Committee.

If it passes successfully, the second side is that you can invite suitable female rock singers from the rabbit country, and you can smoothly let them come.

Times are different after all.
