234. Let's talk
In this episode, the Chair of World War, which had won two consecutive weeks, failed to continue to defend their winner throne, but was replaced by a band begin from Okinawa.
Okinawa does not discuss historical issues, but only for those far away in Tokyo, it is a strange place that is far away as if it is abroad.
From Ishigaki Island, the most remote corner of Okinawa, to Tokyo, this band that worked hard, there is also the simplicity and shyness of the country people who have not yet faded.
It was such a band that brought their Okinawan musical songs.
The beautiful melody and fresh flavor are both easy to appreciate, resonate, and extremely fresh for the public.
Is there such charming music in Okinawa?
The beginning appeared on this stage, bringing not only fresh music, but also unfolding a strange world in front of the public.
Such a band can defeat the human chairs that have brought shock and impact to the public in music, which may be just right for the audience.
After winning two consecutive periods of the Human Chair, the impact brought by the metal music has already stimulated the audience to the extreme. It was replaced by a warm and affectionate band like begin, which focuses on communicating with the audience's hearts. This kind of winner replacement has a little bit of the feeling of exchanging batons during the relay race.
Such a wonderful winner conversion.
Akina Nakamori watched it with relish and forgot to record it for a moment. When she praised the program for its fun, she couldn't help but think that this was the program he was actively walking around when Asahi TV and Shinichi Iwahashi met.
I didn’t expect that after it was finished, it would be such a great program.
On TV, begin stood in front like a human chair in the past, and Yuji Miyake reached out to them, "So please tell me again, what is the name of the songs I sang this issue?"
"Love しくて(deeply attached)." The fat lead singer said the name of the song with a shy smile like when singing.
"Okay, "Love" please remember the name of this song"
In the picture, the list of cast members began to roll. Da Ben urged her, "It's time to record now, right?"
Akina Nakamori turned off the TV and nodded, "Hay~"
Walking on the way to her recording room, she subconsciously thought to herself, could she meet Shinichi Iwahashi today? She just felt absurd.
Now others are sitting in the studio of Asahi TV, how could they meet here?
Akina Nakamori suddenly realized that if she only hoped for a chance encounter with fate, she would not know when she would meet him.
Taking the initiative to attack and seeing him... Such a thought flashed through Akina Nakamori's heart.
...
On Monday, Shinichi Iwahashi went to Asahi TV for a meeting.
The ratings of the new episode have risen again compared to the previous episode, reaching 13.0%. The continuous increase in ratings prove that while the program stabilizes the old audience, it also has the attraction to continue to attract new audiences.
The ratings were successful, and the first thing that was satisfied was Asahi TV.
TV stations with ratings as the basics are naturally the top priority. However, for Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe who led the program, and the record companies they participated in, the next thing they are pursuing is how to convert ratings into something deeper.
Although the human chair was washed down, it was not the end, but the beginning.
Not only the beginning, but as the first band to test the waters, their development is actually related to the future of the show.
"The ironwork should be hot, and before the audience's regret and love for the human chairs have dissipated, arrange what should be arranged." Watanabe Manyumi said, "Iwahashi, I will ask you for the next single."
In the conference room, Watanabe Manyumi called him Iwahashi Sang.
"Okay." Shinichi Iwahashi agreed and kicked the ball to Kazuo Hirai again, "The issue was to entrust CBS Sony."
"We have contacted record stores that have cooperated here, and we will leave a 'Band Heavenly Zone' in the thirty-four record stores in the capital," said Kazuo Hirai.
"Although it's a bit extravagant to do a special area at this stage, it will be more topical if you are so serious. In addition, Sony's music magazine will also arrange interviews for a band."
The treatment given by CBS Sony can be said to be very important.
"In addition," added Shinichi Iwahashi, "After the single is distributed, I will also mention it in the program to give an explanation to the audience and the bands participating... This is the basics."
Although it is said that it is only possible to get the opportunity to make a mainstream debut by selling more than 10,000 copies, the more mainstream debut bands, the more attention the industry will pay to the program, and the greater the influence of this program on the industry.
This is something that complements each other.
Therefore, everyone is worried about the future development of the Human Chair as if they are considering the employment issues of graduates.
In addition to arranging the next thing about the Human Chair, the staff of Asahi TV mentioned that there were several record companies and firms, expressing their willingness to enter the market.
However, the program has just started, and it is not good to introduce too many companies to participate, so in this regard, the people here are still more conservative.
The regular meeting was over, and it was not yet noon.
Shinichi Iwahashi packed up his things and said goodbye to Wanyumi Watanabe, "I'll go to Shinbashi's recording studio next, and I'll take a step first."
“There is a recording today?”
"Yes, it's just a finishing work. Sen Gaosang has been busy playing songs for a while, so it's not easy for her to spare time to record... But this happens. After collecting the ending for her, the chair in the world will also be in the shed."
Shinichi Iwahashi talked about Manyumi Watanabe.
When Watanabe Manyumi heard this, she smiled and cheered him up: "Then, it depends on you next, Shinichi-kun."
"……OK."
When I arrived at the recording studio of Shinqiao, I was about to walk in, but suddenly someone called me behind me, "Iwaki Sang?"
When he turned around, it was Akina Nakamori.
Unlike the last time I saw her here, she was dressed properly today. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her for a moment and nodded slightly, "Hello."
"What a coincidence." Akina Nakamori's eyes fell on his face, and she quickly moved away as if she was afraid of being caught. "Are you here to record today?"
"Yes." Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "You are here to record too? By the way, I haven't met you before, and I have always wanted to congratulate you. The results of the new single are so good."
Listening to his mention of the new single, Akina Nakamori showed a hint of embarrassment, "Thank you."
This kind of embarrassment seems not just the implicitness and modesty that have been praised in person, but also the hidden secret of wanting to say something but stopping.
Chapter completed!
