637. Tie frock(1/2)

Shinichi Iwahashi's idea was clear, and he had to rely on beads to make the plan bigger, so he naturally had room to accommodate Akina Nakamori.

According to the current progress, I am becoming more and more confident, and I am just waiting to find an opportunity to send the project to the genius. This time, Akina Nakamori and PRINCESS PRINCESS collided, which is a great opportunity to come to my door.

Akina Nakamori's single has not yet been sold. Shinichi Iwahashi can use it as a reference to analyze the sales of her previous singles, as well as the trend and potential of PRINCESS PRINCESS, which is her rival.

With the strength shown by PRINCESS PRINCESS, it is not easy for Akina Nakamori to win this week, or it should be said that she needs to perform very well now.

If she can really keep the championship, she will naturally only think that "the idol peak is the idol peak".

However, after facing the band head-on and after a hard battle, she and the company behind her would never be so arrogant that she felt that "the band is just like this."

As long as you have experienced the embarrassment of being attacked by the band and feel the strength of the band, Yanyin and Warner must realize the reality of "maybe it won't be so easy next time".

Facing the arrival of the band era, we will also solemnly look at cooperation with the band.

But on the other hand, if Akina Nakamori was suppressed by the single in the second week of the release of PRINCESS PRINCESS this week and lost the championship, her career began to decline, and this thing that originally only had a vague feeling would become a fact that she was put on the table.

For the general public, it is not easy to immediately feel when a star's momentum begins to fall, and it often requires a downturn on the table.

Actors in the rising period need to use a high-rated TV series to determine their status in the world, and singers need to have champion singles to increase their momentum. Conversely, actors with high-rated TV series, singers lose their championship, sales drop, and their voices will inevitably be damaged.

By then, she and the company behind her must make countermeasures.

For singers, once they fall into a disadvantage, the record company's various countermeasures can be summarized into two types.

Either keep your hands silent, maintain your existing style, act cautiously, and slow down the speed of falling into a disadvantage to getting out of breath. Or seek transformation and broaden your career path. When there is a record, keep records. If there is no record, you can do whatever you want.

But Akina Nakamori has a variety of styles since her debut, she really has to remain calm and become outdated faster.

The cooperation between INAL LOVE and Akina Nakamori is obvious at first glance to take advantage of the cooperation to gain the reputation of Akina Nakamori. But if even Akina Nakamori himself needs to seek new blood, things will be different again.

So, no matter what the final result is, after this week, Shin Iwahashi repeatedly went to Yanyin and Warner to discuss cooperation with her songs and plans, and her situation would change.

Her single has not yet started selling, Shinichi Iwahashi is already thinking about how to contact Kenyin in the future.

He is actually acquaintance with Kenyin and even Warner, as well as the friendship between former and juniors of Watanabe Manyumi and Nozaki Young Master.

But business is business, friendship is friendship. If you cannot cooperate and win-win, just talk about friendship in vain, which will only make people bored.

...

In the afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi went to U-MIZ to meet Manyumi Watanabe and discussed with her. Later, he sent the cooperation plan and a sample of INAL LOVE songs to Kenyin.

Listening to his thoughts, Watanabe Manyumi looked at him with a subtle expression.

"What?" Shinichi Iwahashi was curious.

Wanyumi Watanabe said to him, "It's a bit like waiting for someone to fall, so that she can go and help her."

this……

Shin Iwahashi was half speechless, "Where did you say that? I became a villain who hid in the dark and watched others laugh at jokes."

"I'm kidding." Wanyumi Watanabe smiled.

Of course, this is not the same as waiting to see someone fall and then pretending to be a good person.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't go to her on this matter and turned back to the topic at the right time, "I'll ask you next, Manyu Misan."

Although the beads are in the name of a record company, INAL LOVE's agency contract and record contract have nothing to do with Shinichi Iwahashi. This matter must be justified by Wanyumi Watanabe.

Wanyumi Watanabe agreed and said casually, "You suddenly received such a plan and you will be confused by you. You will think of inviting Akana Sang, but you really have it."

"I have to work with INAL LOVE again, and I have to be able to gain fame. After thinking about it, she is the only one." Shinichi Iwahashi said the truth.

"That's true." Wanmei Watanabe nodded and didn't say anything more.

...

The sales of the new week include both strong bands that dominate the top, and rising bands like ZARD that continue to stay in the top ten, both slowly but slowly accumulate.

In addition, there are still those who are in the top ten and those who can't even enter the list.

The arrival of the trend, in addition to the exchange of people at the front, is also reflected in how much fresh blood is pouring in. Since the band Tianguo was launched, more and more bands have debuted, which is the case when idols made their debut.

The popular ones can be seen at a glance in the front row, but there are naturally more of them without any splashes.

In the port area, a production company called BEING.

The staff sent the sales data for the new week. Nagato Daiyu did not look through the detailed data and trends, and asked bluntly, "How was B'z's situation last week?"

"There is no detailed sales data." The staff member replied, "BMG has also received returns from two record stores."

"It's just released not long ago..." Nagato Oyuki frowned, blaming the two record stores for being unable to hold back.

But what made him even more upset was that B’z’s new single failed again.

Last year, the band's Heavenly Show was very popular. In addition to the bands that debuted from talent shows, record companies also took active actions.

In terms of band production, Nagato Oyuki's BEING is a veteran. In the early years, he also participated in the recording production of first-class bands such as LOUDNESS and BOOWY.

Although he was involved in the production of these top-notch bands, he did more than Nagato Daiyuki's past partner, BEING's former vice president, Eryuki Torika.

Rather than serving hard-core orthodox bands, Nagato Yasuo hopes to make a fortune by making music.

In 1985, Nagato Daiyuki reached a cooperation with CBS Sony and took over a new band called tube. From debut planning to song selection and production, he entrusted it to BEING.

Tube was not smooth when she first debuted, and two singles were declared unsuccessful. Nagato even planned to not be popular with this band, so she went to say hello to CBS Sony and said that she had decided to give up the band.

He was entrusted to BEING as he debuted. If Nagato Daiyuki said he would give up, CBS Sony would not keep this band.

When life and death are determined, the keyboardist Yuko, the stars of Nantian, just happened to be home for maternity leave. The soul of the band, Yuko's husband Kasuke Mianda, took the opportunity to fly solo and open the trumpet. The band announced a temporary suspension of activities.

The Nantian Stars are famous for their summer songs. There is a saying in Japan that "Summer is the Nantian Stars". Nagato Daiyuki himself is also a loyal fan of this band and knows the charm of this band.

Real fans are to learn from their idols—

Therefore, after seizing the period when the activities of the South Sky Stars were over, Nagato Daiyu decided to let the tube fill the gap in summer without the South Sky Stars and succeed in one fell swoop.

The singles were sold well, the tube became popular, CBS Sony was satisfied, and BEING, as a production company, also made a lot of money, and everyone was very happy.

Nagato Daiyuki is ambitious and wants to create another band that is popular.

Last year, when B’z debuted, the band Tianguo was hit and the band attracted much attention. Nagato Daiyuki was very optimistic about the band’s debut, but in more than a year, there was no splash.

The records cannot be sold, and they only perform everywhere in LIVEHOUSE all over the country, like half an underground band.

If the band captain Takahiro Matsumoto was not determined and the lead singer Hiroshi Inaba was still a rare beauty, Nagato Daiyuki really wanted to give up the band.

Daiyuki, a lifelong member of the Appearance Association, prefers beautiful men and beautiful women the most.

However, there is a limit to patience. Nagato Daiyuki was thinking about whether to let B’z change his style and re-enter the market.

While thinking, he contacted Takahiro Matsumoto and asked him to come over.

Takahiro Matsumoto was a small man with a low appearance. When Nagato saw his slightly shabby face, he subconsciously thought of his handsome teammate Hiroshi Inaba.

Such two people formed a team to make Hiroshi Inaba shine.

When Nagato Daiyuki received their single, he felt that the cover of Matsumoto Takahiro and Inaba Hiroshi were like brand new pens placed together with pencils in a pencil.

Takahiro Matsumoto is extremely pragmatic and does not feel uncomfortable standing with a handsome man. On the contrary, when looking for a partner for himself, he plays with a handsome guy to improve the band's appearance and attract audiences.

However, although his appearance is inferior, his talent is very high-quality. He is responsible for all the music in the band. Hiroshi Inaba, who cooperates with him, is responsible for writing the lyrics. The two have a clear division of labor and can ensure equal income.

Nagato Daiyuki and Matsumoto Takahiro have been working together for a long time. At this time, he was straight to the point and suggested that he start to change his style from the next single to get closer to the current popularity-

Matsumoto Takahiro has excellent guitar skills and his band is unknown, but as a guitarist, he has received rave reviews in the industry. He used to be a support player for heavy metal bands in the early years, and in recent years, he has been a regular musician team of TM WORK.

Because of this, B’z’s music style is a bit close to electronic music and has a bit of heavy metallic flavor.

The band craze caused by the band Heaven is either orthodox rock or pop rock. B’z’s musical style is not likable and alternative in the current music industry.

"You have to make the music you want to make, and you can do whatever you want after it becomes popular."

Nagato Daiyuki taught earnestly, "If the record is not sold, it is not necessarily possible to release the next one. It is better to try changing the style first and open up the sales channels before talking about other things."

As a result, he was rejected by Takahiro Matsumoto, "It is too early to talk about changing styles at this stage."

"That's what you said." Nagato Oyuki was a little unhappy.

B’z does not rely on BEING’s production resources. Takahiro Matsumoto takes all the compositions. He doesn’t nod, and Nagato Daiyuki is not too good at pointing out the band.

If you force the band too much, the ending will be the company that hides them. What's more, because BEING does not have its own record company, B’z’s record appointment is on BMG. At that point, I don’t know how much it will involve.

BEING has no one under his command now. If you really want to turn against Takahiro Matsumoto, you will have to lose both sides.

"Send two more pictures to see what the situation is."

At this time, Takahiro Matsumoto took a step back at the right time, although it was a delaying strategy.

The boss of Changdu Daxun is very concerned about his shame and hates others that he cannot get out of the market. Everyone knows this. Therefore, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he must first save his boss's face.

Takahiro Matsumoto was not the kind of Atticus who knew nothing about music. On the contrary, he understood human nature and had worked as a clerk in a musical instrument store before entering the industry.

"Two." Nagato was lucky enough to have a step down first.

Of course, whether he or Takahiro Matsumoto, they all know that these "two pictures" are imaginary. If another picture is posted, if there is no improvement, Nagato Daiyuki will ask the band to change its style again, but Takahiro Matsumoto will not give in even if he sees it.

After Matsumoto Takahiro retired, Nagato Yuki fell into deep thought alone in the office.

On the other hand, it is still a matter of whether it can become popular. Takahiro Matsumoto will not obediently listen to the arrangements. Even if he wants to avoid the ending of both sides, he will take a step back, that is, he will slowly correct the existing style of music and move closer to a style that the public can accept.

In that case, it may take a long time.
