Shinichi Iwahashi came to visit him once, but was arrested by Sakai Masato and asked questions about everything.

However, he didn't mind being led by this old producer at all, or it should be said that this was the result of his tacit approval.

Within the scope of acquiescence, he and Masato Sakai discussed the missed singer and the idol who was about to debut, and at the same time, he also got to know each other about their respective styles of conduct.

Now it is the "testing" part before talking about the main topic.

Sakai Masato is also interesting. He is not the kind of person who sits there seriously and talks about things. He is a little bit like a word, and whatever he thinks of is what he thinks of.

Shinichi Iwahashi was attentive, so he waited quietly for Sakai Masato to search. He took the piece of paper he handed over, and many names were listed on the paper in a mess.

Toharumi, Kishi Yoko, Yaki Aki... The names of well-known female song singers are written on paper. In addition, there are also some female names that look quite dignified and classic, such as Kiyoko and Masako.

“All of them are representative singers.”

Shinichi Iwahashi's eyes fell on the name of "Aki Aki" and said casually, "Aki Aki Aki is also quite good as a jazz singer."

“The Eighth Dynasty Sang is the master of pop music.”

Sakai Masato praised Aki Yaki, a hexagonal warrior in the song world. Following Shinichi Iwahashi's words, he pointed at Kosai Ishikawa, "Saki is also one of the three Hohi Pro mothers."

The three of them are Yamaguchi Momoe, Mori Masako, and Ishikawa Kosai.

Three people debuted as idols at the same time. Ishikawa Koshuri, who transformed into singing and performing songs, is now active, while the other two idols have been married and retired.

Sakai Masato is the producer of Yamaguchi Momoe and is quite familiar with Horipro's other two mothers.

"I met Masako Sang several times when I was a manager for Moriko Sang." As for Momoe Yamaguchi, it was very rare to see her. Unless she was a teacher for her two sons, or she became a close friend of Tomokazu Miura, she probably wouldn't be able to enter her house.

Sakai Masato said casually, "Chako-chan still has contacts with Momoe now, and they are similar people. They are not the same as Sayuri."

Yamaguchi Moei and Mori Masako either yearn for it, or choose to retire from marriage and return to the family. Ishikawa Koshuri was the opposite. In order to avoid the way to retire from marriage, he chose to marry his agent.

As a result, after marrying, she had a tense relationship with her husband. She changed her mind to persuade her to go home to take care of her husband and children after she could continue singing. After a while, she became Heisei this year, in February, Ishikawa Koshuri cut off the mess and announced her divorce.

Not only did he divorce easily, he also made a generous self-taught self-taught, saying that he was "the first celebrity to divorce in Heihong's period". This kind of behavior is quite free and easy.

Moreover, such a Ishikawa Koshuri is not only uneasy to be a housewife, but also takes advantage of the bubble era to invest in karaoke companies to make a lot of money.

Although I had never seen her, Iwahashi Shinichi had a clear-headed and calm impression of her when he heard about her deeds.

"Sayuri's life experience is rich enough now. Song acting is music that brings joy in hardships. For singers, rich experience is a good thing. Getting married and divorce can take her to the next level."

Sakai Masato said, "In the past, singers and singers had the experience of singing in bars and seeing the world's love. But today, people are forced to sing because of their livelihood and are attracted by music producers who come to the store. This kind of thing will hardly happen again."

Sakai Masato talked about the song performance, Shinchi Iwahashi thought.

The song is bitter and sweet, so singers with rich life experiences are very interesting to sing.

On the contrary, the selection of idols is purity, so the idols are required to be white paper and white paper when they are discovered, and then the adults decide what to apply on it.

"I seem to have said before that I have not handled a singer like Fujimura."

Sakai Masato mentioned Masami Murami again, "Can Iwahashi Kwan see it? Fujimura has a seven-year-old daughter."

"ah."

Shinichi Iwahashi really didn't see it.

Sakai Masato looked at his shocked expression and was quite satisfied. "I was shocked when I knew it. Fujimura is now twenty-seven years old. Before his debut, he has been a folk singer in Akita Prefecture."

Shinichi Iwahashi was puzzled when he got this information.

Japan has a strong geographical complex. Local TV stations will select and cultivate their own stars in various places outside Tokyo, and local people will also support them with pride.

Popular singers from Tokyo went to a certain place and happened to perform with local popular singers during the same period. They even left singers from Tokyo aside and tried their best to support local singers.

Many celebrities first became household names in the local area, and then went to Beijing to work hard with the support of their hometown elders.

Shinichi Iwahashi was wondering, although Akita is a famous remote place in Japan, Masami Murami has been a folk singer in the local area for so long. Now that he has gone to Beijing, his debut has not received the support of his hometown elders at all?

Sakai Masato guessed his thoughts and his expression showed a hint of strangeness. "Fujimura is a bit famous in Akita, but it is a bit special."

special?

Sakai Masato told him, "When she was in Akita, she married a local, had a daughter, and then divorced... It is no surprise that the divorced single mother is not a surprise, but after the divorce, the man wanted to get back with her, but was rejected and committed suicide."

“…”

She already has a seven-year-old daughter at the age of 27. Her divorced ex-husband still committed suicide after reuniting. She is somewhat of a celebrity in the local area.

Shinichi Iwahashi could almost imagine how everyone would view her in a remote area like Akita where there is rare big news.

No wonder Sakai Masato said he had never handled such a singer.

He was speechless for a moment. While he was silent, he subconsciously recalled the appearance of Murami Manami whom he had just seen.

Perhaps it was the association that he had after hearing this, and he recalled Murami Manami and felt that there was a subtle calmness all over her.

"In places like Tokyo, suicide is a trivial matter that will be swept into the trash can in just three days. But in Akita, it is enough for Fujimura to bear the curious gaze from all sides."

Sakai Masato was half joking, half seriously, "Men will not give up their lives for women easily, so once they learn that she has such an experience, it seems that even her person becomes mysterious and full of magical charm."

Shinichi Iwahashi did not respond, but agreed in his heart.

While agreeing, he combined Sakai Masato's words, the production creed of "a singer with rich and better life experience", and the personal experience of Murami Masanami, and thoughtful.

After a moment of dazed, Sakai Masato first left the topic just now and said something else, "It's about Fujimura, it just so happened that I want to ask Iwahashi to take a look together."

Sakai Masato pointed to the paper full of the singer's name, "It's about giving her a new stage name."

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the pile of names and imagined the sales of Murami Masanami and the production of the re-cooked products sent to Sakai Masari. He knew it, "Do you want to change the stage name to start again?"

"That's true." Sakai Masato replied.

For artists who failed to debut, they will re-change their stage name and re-inject it. This is a standard operation in the industry.

I had a little reputation before, and it was a bit beneficial to keeping my original stage name, but for singers like Muraki Masami who had no such person, it would have disadvantages and no benefits with the previous two years of failure.

If you change your name and set off again, you can also pretend to be a newcomer.

"There are several fixed reference patterns for singers to give their stage names."

For example, if you use the place name in your hometown as your surname, the "Eighth Dynasties" in the Eighth Dynasties is the Eighth Dynasties in Kumamoto Prefecture, our hometown.

Murami Manami is from Senkigawa County in Akita Prefecture. However, her reputation in her hometown is strange, and it is difficult to use the stage name of the hometown place name. It is mainly because it cannot bring any benefits if it is used.

"In addition, there are also ways to follow the famous seniors in the singing industry and name them."

For example, take one word from the names of the four well-known singers. In contrast, this approach is more feasible to Murashima Nami.

"The stage name should be simple and easy to write, "Murashima Nami". Maybe many people can't even read this name."

Instead of asking Shinichi Iwahashi for advice, Sakai Masatori would rather ask him to help eliminate names that didn't work.

In front of me was the paper full of the names of the singers, and the topic was the name of the singers. Shinichi Iwahashi was just right, and quietly moved the topic to the large-scale project he planned.

“Planning album?”

Sakai Masato responded to Shinichi Iwahashi's words while combining the names.

From a singer to an idol, and from an idol to a singer, both sides almost ended the "testing" stage. Shinchi Iwahashi began to mention his important matters, and Sakai Masato listened carefully.

“It’s just an interesting stage now.”

Shinichi Iwahashi told him, "The idols have squeezed the market for singing, but the idols themselves have already taken a downhill road, and the band trend is coming."

"The band tide is led by Iwahashi-kun." Sakai Masato smiled and spelled out a name, "Kanika Oriri..." He shook his head first, "Sony is now a 'Kanika' who debuted a little later than Fujimura."

Kaori and "Kao" are both pronounced as "Kao Day".

It’s not impossible to get a name, but you can play with the seniors from decades ago, and you can’t play with the juniors.

"Although the idol's edge is weak, it is still a strong force in the industry. Even if the market share of the songs is squeezed out again, it is still a mainstream musical form. Although the band is coming in a fierce manner, it cannot dominate the country."

Shinichi Iwahashi pretended not to hear "Kan Sika" and said his own.

"That's right." Sakai Masato nodded, "In the Warring States Period, it was the time for a big fight." He even thought seriously about which forces should be corresponding.

As long as you can tolerate his unrestrained and uncontrollable style, everything will be fine.

"At this stage, generational alternation has not stopped, but the old styles are still widely accepted." Shinichi Iwahashi explained his thoughts, "So, I had some idea of ​​linking these three together."

He pulled out the tiger skin of Tsumi Kyoking as a banner, "I would have such an idea. The inspiration was when I visited Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Kyoking and Tsumi Ky

"Um."

Sakai Masato was about to ask Shinichi Iwahashi how about another name he chose. When he heard this, he swallowed it back.

"So, is it to make an album that is 'perfectly integrated'?" Sakai Masato began to be interested in this project album.

"To be precise, it is to consider how to cooperate and arrange it on the premise of assuming that you want to make an album with high completion and holistic level." Shinichi Iwahashi said.

To make a large-scale project with multi-party cooperation, we cannot rely solely on a momentum, but we must first consider the overall situation and then add bricks and tiles on this basis.

So Shinichi Iwahashi simply prepared to plan an album first. However, the song selection meeting that should have been resolved internally will be turned into external negotiations.

If the integrity is not considered, such a front and timeline will definitely lead to a long plan, which is very easy to have problems in the middle, or simply lack the momentum to end.

Although we have to find ways to connect all the people, we are not going to find one by one, but to contact the right person with the goal.

It is precisely because of this that the producers like Sakai Masato need help.

"There are precedents in collaboration with bands and idols, and I have seen collaborations with idols and songs... But, if you stick to one line, you really can't think of what the effect will be."
To be continued...
