481. For whom change(1/2)
When the TV station controls the artistic world, artists are passively classified into different circles. This is reflected in various award ceremony ceremony at the end of the year.
For example, at the year-end awards ceremony at Fuji TV, the band that was labeled asahi TV on Fuji TV was not interested in the band that made the show that it made Fuji TV that was beaten down.
If you want to get the prize money from this awards ceremony, you may have to wait until the band becomes a popular fan.
On the other hand, if the full Japanese song and music festival hosted by Asahi TV is not suspended this year, dreamsetru is likely to win some awards.
There are people in the court who are easy to do things, so the same is true for putting them wherever they are.
In order to promote the strategy, the band had no new songs to sing at the end of the year. The most popular single since its debut, "So Happy! So Happy! So Like!", was asked by NHK not to sing at the Red and White Song Club, and other TV station programs also made such requests.
In this way, the band’s most popular single after its debut was forced to temporarily seal it because of Zi Su Ling.
Fortunately, it's only for the time being, otherwise, a popular song will be banned, how will this face look dark?
However, although the TV station was temporarily sealed, the performance of this song was extremely brave in terms of another important publicity channel outside the TV station, commercial radio station.
This is due to the audience's rebellious psychology, especially among young people.
In itself, the young people who grew up in this generation are the new generations who are not interested in current affairs and are more concerned about themselves and are not interested in the locusts and locust chambers at all.
Now, due to the self-repeal order and various entertainment activities are restricted, this popular song of the year, which should have been sung happily at the end of the year, is now forced to temporarily seal and disappear on TV.
For young people who pay more attention to their personal feelings, this restriction undoubtedly adds a layer of fire to their dissatisfaction.
The TV station on the ground has various concerns, but there are not so many rules and regulations on the radio. In this way, the audience who could not see the band singing this song on TV picked up the phone and submitted the radio station.
In this approach, not only is the dissatisfaction caused by the TV stations not seeing this song at the end of the year, but also mixed with the dissatisfaction of having to honestly explain at home at the end of the year.
Anger is full of power, and the dissatisfaction comes from the audience. Surprisingly, this single, which has been in the industry for more than half a year, has risen sharply on the radio chart at the end of the year.
TBS TV's "thebestten" will quickly pass the ranking data of each list in the TV program when each episode is broadcast, including the radio on-demand list.
When the radio list was broadcast on the TV screen, I saw the song title of "So Happy! So Happy! So Like!" that flashed quickly. The young audience watching TV probably smiled and felt a sense of pleasure in overcoming this inexplicable self-sacrifice.
This situation would happen, which was unexpected by the band's production team.
However, spontaneous behavior has nothing to do with me, and the production team does not need to make any reaction at all. Just wait happily for the royalties settlement in the next quarter. The more on-demand times, the higher the usage fee.
What’s even more interesting is that the on-demand rate of this song “So Happy! So Happy! So Like!” in Kansai is high, and it uses actual data to prove the Kansai people’s love for bands and their indifference to self-sacrifice.
After getting this information, Shinichi Iwahashi had a sudden idea and simply prepared to go to Osaka for fun during the New Year holiday. It was true that it was true that it was discussed with Osaka's TV station and the broadcasting bureau in person.
Not only did he want to go, but he also had to bring Zard's four people.
In this way, Haruko Akamatsu, who is in charge of zard, will naturally act with them.
When he learned that Shinichi Iwahashi was going to take Zard to Osaka, Haruko Akamatsu even invited them to go to her home in Kyoto. The decision on this matter was Shinichi Iwahashi, and he agreed.
Shinichi Iwahashi was really curious about what the home of a big landlord in Kyoto looked like. He was born in this kind of ancient capital and was still a wealthy family, and the house might be of the kind of Japanese garden or something.
The curiosity of the country bumpkin Iwahashi Shinichi was aroused again. Even so, he did not agree at all. He only said that if the itinerary permits, he would visit Akamatsu Haruko's house to visit her family.
This matter is purely a small episode at the end of the year. After the schedule is set, let’s put it aside.
"So happy! So happy! So love!" The momentum of "So unexpected!" in the last month of the year was unexpected, but the trend of "Future Prediction Picture II" is related to the next series of plans.
The nationwide commercial radio stations have bribed the promotion and momentum of this song, but there has not been such a fierce momentum in the past few days.
However, after the end of the first week, the song's trend is undoubtedly rising based on feedback from the audience and specific listening rates.
When the data came out, the broadcasting bureau breathed a sigh of relief first.
To make songs for songs of 7 and a half minutes in length, you have to risk the audience turning the stage. Since the data is stable, then the broadcasting bureau will be somewhat relieved and willing to continue to cooperate with this song promotion.
The data is rising, which is much more optimistic than the data that explodes at the beginning and then falls.
There are more people who like this song the next day than on the first day. As long as this is guaranteed, the word-of-mouth effect of the listeners will bring great benefits.
After all, the earliest way of propaganda by humans was word of mouth.
In this way, in the last month of 1988, dreamsetrue was like returning to the 1960s and working closely with radio stations.
...
After ten o'clock in the evening, there were not so many cars on the road. Kanda, who had always driven safely, relaxed and turned on the car radio.
The songs of the Youth Team were broadcasting on the radio. Kanda didn't like Johnny, so she changed the station.
He was driving a Volkswagen Golf, which he bought in installments when he was in junior year. During his time at school, he only had to repay 10,000 yen per month. After taking up his post, he paid 50,000 yen per month, and the repayment period was five years.
However, Kanda is already considering that she will settle the loan next year, take over this golf, and change it to another car.
In today's era, college students have broad prospects. Whether it is a manufacturer that has launched an installment car purchase business or a student who goes to a loan to buy a car, they are all confident.
The same is true for Kanda. During college, she signed a contract for installment purchases and officially became a car owner. Now, less than a year after joining the company, she has the ample allowance to settle the loan.
During college, Kanda wanted to buy a car because she wanted to have her own space. To realize this wish, it was impossible to buy a house. Even now, Kanda dared not think about buying a house.
However, it is so easy to buy a car. Close the car door and you will be your own little world.
As an ordinary person, Kanda signed an installment contract. After that, he drove his own car on a ride during the holidays and felt a kind of real happiness, and a kind of longing for his own space became real happiness.
After he got the car, he had almost every weekend and ran around.
It was also the year when he bought a car, Kanda dated Yoko, a girl who worked in a convenience store near the apartment he rented. She was small and cute, but she had no choice but to have a word about beauty.
Kanda himself was the same. He was an ordinary college student when he was in school. When he got to work, he had an ordinary company employee like him, and he was everywhere in the tram on the morning shift every day.
When I was a student, Kanda and Yoko went on a date. Two ordinary young people walked together in a fashionable paradise like Shibuya, and were secretly ridiculed by fashionable young people as local couples from the countryside.
Kanda and Yoko were more embarrassed than being unhappy in the face of ridicule. But compared to going here for a date, they liked to drive together.
In order to go for a ride with Kanda, Yoko would discuss shift changes with her colleagues in the convenience store in advance, so the two of them used this golf sedan that they bought in installments to go to various places around Tokyo.
Then, after experiencing the various preferential treatments for the company's recruitment, Kanda graduated from University and joined the current company. In less than a year, he had the spare time to settle the loan and had higher pursuits.
Going around with the company's seniors, seeing the nightlife in Tokyo, and gaining a deeper understanding of luxury goods, Kanda began to feel unwilling to be just an ordinary person.
He drove to work in a golf course and was laughed at by his seniors, saying that he would be ridiculed when he went to Roppongi. When he was a student, he was not afraid of being ridiculed as a "rustic couple". Now, he is frightened when facing his seniors' words.
Will you be ridiculed?
However, the relationship between Kanda and Yoko has always been stable.
Although Yoko was still the Yoko in the past, Kanda began to care about dressing up. Yoko didn't think so, he first thought of buying Tiffany's heart-shaped pendant for her.
Compared to wanting to give gifts like Yoko, does it contain such vanity as "I hope Yoko's colleagues know that she has a boyfriend who can buy her Tiffany"?
Kanda was unwilling to investigate such a problem. However, after graduation, the two quarreled several times over this difference.
In December, due to the self-sacrificing order, the catering industry suffered a significant blow. However, Yoko worked in a convenience store. Today she was working in the night shift, and Kanda agreed to pick her up.
Yoko has never changed, everything is ordinary. Although Kanda is sometimes dissatisfied with Yoko's simplicity, she never thought about falling in love with someone else.
However, as an ordinary person, Kanda walked forward in a consistent manner with Yoko, who was an ordinary person. Now, Kanda wants Yoko to keep up with her pace.
Is it wrong to let Yoko see such a world too?
...
On the radio, the chat session ended and the song session entered. The prelude sounded, and it was a strange song.
However, Kanda had a bad first impression of the song. He used the radio station to pass the time. Since the first ear was good, he continued to listen.
"It's the third spring since graduation"
The singer began to sing the song as if he wanted to narrate, and started the song with such peaceful and simple sentences.
At night, I drove alone on the main road. The slightly slow rhythm of the song was just right and sounded relaxed.
The song slowly unfolds, and it turns out that it is a story about a couple who have come from their student days.
It’s not the singer’s own experience that he wrote so carefully?
While listening to the song, Kanda thought nonsense that if he had written it, he would have written the story of driving to Xiangnan with Yoko into the song.
Kanda was attracted by this song before he knew it and wanted to hear the next lyrics.
Although the song sings another love, the lyrics of overly life make Kanda involuntarily associate his love.
This is probably what is called resonance.
The resonance is not what happened in the lyrics, but the emotions of being an ordinary person. The song sings the love life of ordinary people, and the audience at present is one of the countless ordinary people.
When Kanda is moved by the song, her pursuit of the times is temporarily put aside and returns to the essence of ordinary people.
"No matter how many years have passed, I can keep this mood unchanged."
The two people in the song drove motorcycles when they were students, but after work, they changed into cars. The means of transportation were changed, and the secret codes for confessing to each other were also changed.
But isn’t the reason why the code can take effect because they still love each other?
Everything is changing, so, isn’t it a change for him to change to a new car and live a more free and easy life?
Since he still loves Yoko, why can't Yoko change with him?
"Because I've been drawing the picture of the future in my mind"
This picture of the future is not conceived by one person, but depicted by two people. Because it is two people together, everything has changed today, and the mood of love has not changed.
Kanda suddenly thought, did he ask Yoko what he thought?
In his heart, he also imagined his future with Yoko. But now he took away the brush from Yoko and was drawing the imagined picture of the imagined future alone?
To be continued...
