699. Women's Clothing Boss
In the evening, before leaving, Matsuura Katsuto combed his hair in front of the mirror and combed it again. Even though he worked so hard, the shriveled face in the mirror was still listless, and he did not have the effort to be more free and easy.
At this time, go out and drink pre-dinner wine first, then go to the main meal. After the meal, go to the club to renew the stall and then go to the disco to dance.
This is the magic of social engagements. It can repeat a set of processes over and over again.
After sorting out his appearance, before Matsuura Katsuto went out, he thought silently in his heart as if he wanted to put the amulet into his shirt pocket:
Eurobeat will surely revive in my hands.
For the past few months, Katsuto Matsuura has been working hard for Eurobeat-related matters.
While using the help of his seniors in college, we will introduce the cadres of ALFA Records and his understanding, and work hard to receive the distribution rights of the part of Eurobeat they hold from ALFA Records.
Eurobeat has been rising for a while in Japan, and it has long since passed away. On the other hand, ALFA Records has no obsession with the distribution rights that are no longer valuable.
Related negotiations, including being an intermediary to match Matsuura Katsuto and Yidaili, are all easy to say.
Since Eurobeat has become out of date in Japan, Matsuura Katsuto has spent so much effort to fight for the issuance right, it is impossible for him to be interested in something worthless. On the contrary, he has to strive for it because he sees the value in it.
Now, the disco boom is sweeping across Japan. On the other side of Bayshore Plaza, large discos that have been rebuilt with warehouses are opened one by one, and every night is full.
Matsuura Katsuto was addicted to disco when he was a student. He knew everything about the old-style disco or the current warehouse-constructed disco. He believed that if Eurobeat was popular again, disco was an excellent breakthrough.
Let’s start with the disco. For a while, in addition to dealing with ALFA records, Katsuto Matsuura has also actively made friends with relevant persons in charge of Tokyo Disco and paved the way and built bridges.
That's not enough. To take over the distribution rights, you need to have a company that can be taken over. To produce Eurobeat albums, there must be a studio available.
Sibex DD operates wholesale sales of imported records. Katsuto Matsuura was just a wholesale record before. He had no knowledge of record production and had no experience as a musician or working in a recording studio.
From the beginning to now, he has always been a businessman.
While discussing the distribution rights of Eurobeat, having relationships with the person in charge of disco... While doing these things, Matsuura Katsuto also has to make plans for the preparation of the record company.
I would like to ask my father who runs the used car business in Yokohama to fund some of the funds and then lend him to the bank. However, fighting alone is not a good thing, and it is also necessary to get support from someone and powerful in the distribution of records.
When working hard for his career, Katsuto Matsuura feels that he has endless energy. And whenever he thinks of a good idea or moves forward one step further, he still feels full of charm.
Despite my sorry appearance, no matter whether I combed my hair ten or twenty times, I couldn’t modify my satisfactory hairstyle.
But he has a talent that goes beyond superficial appearance.
However, this self-confidence always fails unknowingly when I see Tetsuya Komuro.
When meeting with the cadres of ALFA Records, Katsuto Matsuura was introduced to Tetsuya Komuro. At first, Katsuto Matsuura thought Tetsuya Komuro also wanted to take action on the Eurobeat distribution rights held by ALFA Records, but he immediately said that he had no intention.
That time, Katsuto Matsuura thought there was a competitor out of thin air, but the two of them had some intersection because of that meeting.
Matsuura Katsuto was keen on making friends when he was in college. Although he was not a musician, he had made many friends with musicians and helped poor underground musicians and asked him to work in his record store.
Now, I want to enter the recording industry and don’t mind getting to know more people who have become famous.
However, in front of the successful team who is talented, handsome, and has gained fame and fortune at a young age, Katsuto Matsuura always feels a little unspeakable.
But it is more like a secret jealousy than a low self-esteem.
But Komuro Tetsuya is arrogant and does not restrain his light in front of Katsuto Matsuura. Not only that, although Komuro Tetsuya and Katsuto Matsuura often have a happy conversation, they will unconsciously reveal a little superiority.
This makes Matsuura Katsuto's feelings about Tetsuya Komuro are extremely subtle.
Especially after Matsuura Katsuto learned something from the cadres of ALFA Records-
The other party revealed that Tetsuya Komuro took advantage of the current market conditions of Italio Disco and the relevant issuance rights are low, so he bought the issuance rights of two local emerging brands in Japan at a low price.
In other words, if Katsuto Matsuura can really make the Eurobeat series re-create, then sooner or later, there will be a chance to deal with Tetsuya Komuro for this matter.
Not only that, the copyright in Komuro Tetsuya also appreciates as well.
After knowing this, I know that Tetsuya Komuro, at least in some things, coincided with Katsuto Matsuura. The arrogant musician actually showed a businessman's side.
Matsuura Katsuto could have excused himself as if he was not a member of the other party and himself, but knowing that Komuro Tetsuya not only hid his skills, he also contacted and dated him as if nothing had happened. When he looked at this person, his mood became even more subtle.
On the one hand, Tetsuya Komuro showed good vision in both music and business. Katsuto Matsuura also felt that he benefited a lot when dealing with him.
On the other hand, this friendship is mixed with Tetsuya Komuro's sense of superiority in front of Katsuto Matsuura, and Katsuto Matsuura's inferiority and jealousy for Tetsuya Komuro - so complex, but increasingly intimate.
It is like a plastic flower that uses bad materials when making it. Although it will not wither, its color is extremely strange.
Komuro Tetsuya is far more powerful than Katsuto Matsuura. Tonight, after getting drunk halfway, several people are about to move to the next place.
While chatting, senior Kamigi asked Matsuura Katsuto how the progress of preparing for the record company was. Komuro Tetsuya didn't interrupt at that time, but later, he took advantage of the others to go down to dance. Only him and Matsuura Katsuto were there, and he mentioned something.
"Does Matsuura-kun know about President Zhou Fang of BURNING?" he asked casually.
Katsuto Matsuura reacted.
Komuro Tetsuya looked at his expression and couldn't help but raise his lips and smile. Matsuura Katsuto's listless face would look particularly stupid and funny if it showed a confused look.
In fact, Tetsuya Komuro did not look down on Katsuto Matsuura, but his life was smooth sailing. He got used to being centered on everything from childhood to adulthood. Therefore, even expressing kindness seemed to be superior.
But Katsuto Matsuura dislikes Komuro Tetsuya the most.
Tetsuya Komuro said his own, "BURNING is one of the best offices in the industry. Their President Zhou Fang loves talents and likes to give young entrepreneurs the most opportunities."
"Is that true?" Matsuura Katsuto was still confused.
This funny expression made Komuro Tetsuya even more funny. He nodded, said solemnly, deliberately raised his face and stared at Katsuto Matsuura.
The handsome Tetsuya Komuro looks particularly grand when he looks serious, and it hurts Matsuura Katsuto's eyes.
But in his heart, he was recalling what Komuro Tetsuya said just now.
President Zhou Fang of BURNING, one of the top major firms in the industry, likes to support young entrepreneurs...is that true?
...
Discos on the bay shore are full at night.
Shinichi Iwahashi is rarely here for a disco that is renovated in the warehouse. When he comes here once, he is definitely not alone. In other words, he comes here not because he wants to come to Kugai Disco to dance, but because his fellow travelers want to come.
However, I will come here to play today, and the reason is more special.
Two days ago, Shinichi Iwahashi went to Sony to discuss things and happened to meet Mimi CLUB's people going back to shoot the cover of the single. It was just right, and there weren't such a "fair" opportunity several times a year. Although DREAMS COME TRUE signed the same record company with Mimi CLUB, it is rare to meet in the company.
After all, singers from the same company are not actually colleagues.
Both sides are busy with their own affairs and have no interest in them, and do not know much about their respective movements. This time, Shinichi Iwahashi discovered that the members of Mimi CLUB had changed.
The band's dancers expanded to three, and in addition, new musicians in charge of saxophone and trumpet were also added.
When Shinichi Iwahashi went to play a dancer for Mimi CLUB, there were already as many as eight people in the band. After a little more recruitment, he became a band of more than a dozen people in one go.
Fortunately, the band is now popular and can perform on a larger stage. Otherwise, the previous stage of the carton-sized stage would definitely not allow twelve people to stand on at the same time.
Other bands use this type of musician as a sub-staff team, but Mimi CLUB is willful enough to not only make the dancer a formal member, but also expand the team and then expand it, making it a giant.
I am really not worried about the various problems that may be caused by being too bloated - including but not limited to conflicts between members, uneven distribution of interests, and various conflicts that may be caused by in-team love.
To a certain extent, the existence of Mimi CLUB is quite consistent with Japan's current bubble era.
but……
In addition to the expansion of member enrollment, the original members have also changed.
While greeting, Shinichi Iwahashi and his old acquaintances greeted each other and found that one person was missing.
"Are Sakamoto San not here today?"
When Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned Mimi CLUB, the first three people who came to mind were Mari Amantani who cooked very well, the lead singer Ryuya Ishii who wore a pair of pants, and the women's clothing tycoon Takuji Sakamoto (Emi Hakata).
Minako Ishii told Shinichi Iwahashi that Takuji Sakamoto withdrew from the band.
"Sakamoto San is now a DJ in Juliana." Amantani Masaki explained more in detail to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Shin Iwahashi nodded, "So that's it."
This group of young masters and ladies from rich families was formed on a whim, and it seemed like a mess. Whether it was suddenly planning to expand recruitment or someone among them was tired of playing and wanted to change careers and do something else, Shinichi Iwahashi was not surprised.
Mimi CLUB's stage style is too gorgeous, and Ryuya Ishii has an infinite presence. Apart from being the mascot of Atsuhide Onoda, the other members come and go, the audience will not care much about it.
This also gives them freedom despite the recklessness.
Minako Ishii did not change her personality of watching the fun, and added to Shinichi Iwahashi, "When he was a DJ, he was still dressed in women's clothes. I heard that there were office workers who supported him."
“…”
In an instant, Shinichi Iwahashi's mind, a scene that he had witnessed before, kicked and waved on the stage when he was beautifying the beautification of Takuji Sakamoto, and the audience below shouted "Koeme--!!" at the top of his lungs.
"It's amazing." He sighed.
Amani Maki was beside him, and he saw his expression in his eyes and couldn't help laughing. Minako Ishii was not worried about the excitement, so she continued to ask Shinichi Iwahashi if she wanted to support Takuji Sakamoto.
"We will take Iwaki Sang with us too. Zhuojun must be shocked when he sees him!"
"When the time comes, you still need to remember to call it "Hui Jiang" or "Zhuo Jun", but it will be exposed."
These guys can't say a few words, but Ishii Ryuya and his sister invited him to Juliana to play, and then they took time to meet Takuji Sakamoto.
"Customers meet popular DJs in private, which is a special treatment." Ishii Ryuki also looked like Shinichi Iwahashi's tone.
If Shinichi Iwahashi dares to say "thank you", he will dare to reply "You're welcome."
Looking back on the fact that they had joined forces to tease him and asked Takuji Sakamoto, who was dressed in women, to chat with him. It was hard to say that the brother and sister still remembered the takuji who teased him, or simply liked to use Takuji Sakamoto to trick him.
But no matter what, after all, I had a little friendship with Mimi CLUB, and it was an invitation after a long time ago. Shinichi Iwahashi agreed and agreed to Minako Ishii to make an appointment afterwards, and both sides would go to work hard.
Afterwards, Minako Ishii called him and decided on the time and place for meeting. She went to drink together first, and then danced after drinking.
"Can't you call Akina Jiang up?" Minako Ishii discussed with him.
The reason she gave was also speechless, "When I entered the disco, my brother and I would probably go to have fun and forget about the meeting. If that was true, let Tiangu Jiang take Iwahashi Sang to meet Chuojun."
So, I specifically called Shinji Shinji because the girl is honest and obedient?
The youngest "Mozi" in a group will either become everyone's favorite younger brother and sister, or be infinitely ordered. Amantani Mari is obviously the one behind.
then--
That night, the two Ishii brothers and sisters entered the disco like sharks smelling. They began to go to party on their own, and gradually forgot the real purpose of this time.
Shinichi Iwahashi turned his head and looked at Mari Amana, and Mari Amana also turned his head and looked at him.
"Minako Sang really knows himself." Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but complain.
Chapter completed!
