Oda Tetsuro, who had worked with Nagato Daiyuki for more than ten years and started his business with him, became dissatisfied with BEING's acceptance of BURNING's acquisition.
Oda Tetsuro was a composer who kept his ears to the outside. During his ten years at BEING, although he often went his own way, he never interfered with the major events of BEING.
This was the case when the former vice-presidents Megumi Tsukiko and Daiyuki Nagato quit BEING due to disagreements. It was also the same when music producer Masao Nakajima replaced Megumi Tsukiko and joined BEING as Nagato Daiko's right-hand man. Even this time BEING
Accepting the compilation of BURNING and merging it into VER fans' LLION records, Oda Tetsuro didn't hesitate at first.
The conflict first arose because BURNING has been involved in copyright management for many years. This time it merged with BEING and could not turn a blind eye to the record copyright held by BEING. Therefore, Ikuo Suho proposed to lend the copyright to BURNING for operation. Daiyuki Nagato
Since you have been involved in the BURNING system once, and since you have become a retainer, you will inevitably want to take the opportunity to show your loyalty. Not to mention, now that you have surrendered, it is not easy to keep what you have in your hands.
Anyway, the copyright was lent to BURNING for operation, and he also made money along with it, which was a good business. Nagato Daiyuki wanted to drink broth with Ikuo Shubo, but this approach aroused the dissatisfaction of Oda Tetsuro.
Although Nagato Daiko repeatedly emphasized that he only lent the copyright to BURNING operations to create more value, this statement could not win the trust of Oda Tetsuro. The two had a dispute over this, although Nagato Daiko won in the end, but Oda
Zhelang was not convinced, but more like he gave in reluctantly under the pressure of his brother.
Although in the end, Tetsuro Oda followed Daiko Nagato and became a member of the VER fan LLION Records, he became less interested in the fact that BEING finally had a record company and could show off its talents. It seems that in this
In the eyes of a stubborn composer, being so deeply involved with BURNING means that he has lost the opportunity to show his talents.
Even though Shufang Ikuo was not actually the kind of boss who would interfere with creation, at the beginning of the company's establishment, he was forced to succumb to Nagato Daiyuki on copyright issues. This feeling of being controlled by others was deeply rooted in Oda Tetsuro's heart, which made him unhappy.
.
Originally, when there was only BEING, Oda Tetsuro listened to Nagato Daiyuki's arrangements in everything, and trusted Nagato Daiyuki as his elder brother. However, Oda Tetsuro did not have such trust in Shu Fang Ikuo.
Whether this matter is a big deal or not, Oda Tetsuro's reluctance will not hinder Nagato Daiyuki's decision-making. Besides, in the past period, copyright operations have been put into operation, allowing Oda Tetsuro to see that instead of losing money, he also made a fortune.
, he has nothing to say, and by then, the artist's little temper will naturally disappear.
Nagato Daiyuki knew Oda Tetsuro and thought he could handle him.
Therefore, although he was troubled by Oda Tetsuro's dissatisfaction, Nagato Daiyuki was not impatient about this matter. He thought in his mind that during this time, he should communicate more with Oda Tetsuro to appease his mood.
Oda Tetsuro has an erratic personality, like a cat that was taken in after being homeless. Therefore, if you want to deal with him, you have to use a method that has a sense of distance, but at the same time allows him to feel that he is cared for.
The right way to get along.
However, no matter how he treats him, Nagato Daiyuki will not really let Oda Tetsuro "do whatever he wants".
There is no doubt that Tetsuro Oda is a genius. Geniuses are difficult to be understood by the world. To understand him and tolerate him is not something that ordinary people can do. Nagato Daiyuki believes that he has achieved these two things. In this case, it is appropriate to receive corresponding rewards.
Of course.
When REV debuts, they still have to count on Tetsuro Oda’s songs.
The good thing is that Tetsuro Oda has been at BEING for ten years and has accumulated some of his songs that he bought in advance in BEING's music library. It will not be a problem to cultivate a band of singers in a while.
As for wanting REV to release songs that were not written by band members, Nagato Daiyuki doesn’t think so. In the past, Tube became popular after singing Oda Tetsuro’s songs, so what if there is another REV song?
Today's bands seem to have entered a circle where they have to "make their own songs", which limits many possibilities. Nagato Daiko must not only follow the footsteps of the popular bands, but at the same time, he also wants to expand the road.
Besides, BEING, no, now it’s VER fans. LLION Records has more than just Oda Tetsuro as a composer. And after joining the BURNING department, recruiting new people and signing contracts with new composers are all things that can be done easily.
B’z’s Takahiro Matsumoto and Hiroshi Inaba, one of them is responsible for composing the music, and the other is responsible for writing the lyrics. There is a clear division of labor, so don’t worry. If you can play this card well, you will have a bright future.
It is REV's lead singer Nagayama Yoko. Before her debut, Nagato Daiyuki sent someone to give her emergency training and teach her step by step how to write lyrics. Since she is the core of the band, writing lyrics and composing music must be the same. What's more, a band,
The style of the lyrics is unified before and after, so that you can build your own style.
As far away as Miyuki Nakajima and Yumi Matsutoya, the two most representative female singer-songwriters, as close as Sachiko Kamaiike of ZARD, who is currently recommended by the naughty boy named Iwahashi, you can taste the lyrics carefully, and the core of them comes from "the same song"
a world”.
In addition to the cards he holds in his hands, including his debut and upcoming debut, after joining the BURNING system, and with ample funds and resources, Nagato Daiko is about to show off his talents.
Musicians and songwriters who have signed with BEING are not without opportunities to debut. Organizing external auditions and cooperating with other agencies in the BU Japan and NG department to jointly produce new artists are all opportunities.
Recently, there was a young man named Uesugi Noboru who studied in a music training class under BEING and won the favor of Nagato Daiyuki. Although this Uesugi Noboru is a bit greener, his personality is not very adaptable, and he is a bit stubborn and rebellious.
, since you want to make rock music, it’s good to have a personality.
Not only that, he has great lyrics and good singing skills, and he is also a pretty hard-core handsome guy. Nagato Daiko, a lifelong member of the Appearance Association, is very satisfied with this outstanding appearance of Uesugi Noboru.
For such a young man to come into BEING's hands, Nagato Daiko could not let him go. Although he has not signed a contract with BEING yet, he still only goes to BEING's training classes regularly and communicates with BEING musicians, but Nagato
Daxing also consciously chatted with him and invited him to BEING's recording studio, gradually building trust.
There are good cards in hand, and there are many good cards that can be seen and unseen in the future. Nagato Daiyuki is once again very satisfied.
…
Under the overwhelming coverage of REV's debut press conference, Utoku Keiko's official debut indeed seemed low-key. Iwahashi Shinichi also felt the same after reading the newspaper of the day.
Even so, he had no intention of arranging Utoku Keiko's publicity intensive period at this time anyway, and it didn't matter whether he was in the limelight or not.
Besides, since you want to promote a female solo singer, patience is necessary. If you can't sell three singles, then hide it until the end of the contract or rush back to your hometown. That was the way to promote idols in the past few years.
However, REV’s lead singer chose female idol Nagayama Yoko.
Seeing this news, Iwahashi Shinichi was somewhat surprised. It was an unexpected and reasonable feeling. Yoko Nagayama is a singer signed to BURNING headquarters. She has not achieved much in recent years, so it is normal for her to seek transformation.
.
A female idol transforms into the lead singer of a band, and she doesn’t know what kind of music this REV will make.
In the era of Nagayama Yoko's female idols, her singing skills were among the best among the idols of the same period. It is not difficult to be the lead singer of a band. Moreover, she has been out of fashion for a long time and has few fans to hold her back. If she doesn't change, she will have to return to her hometown to get married. Except
In addition, and most importantly, during her idol era, she did not establish a style that was so distinctive that people who had seen her as an idol would be uncomfortable with her transformation.
As a result, her lack of popularity and less distinctive style became her advantage in changing her career to become the lead singer of a band.
It’s not like Momoko Kikuchi who formed LA·MU—she changed careers while she was still popular and was boycotted by her fans. Of course, her style is also distinct from Momoko Kikuchi’s idol era, and her idol era’s style was so different from her band period.
Very relevant.
However, today, I have decided to give up singing and concentrate on acting, and there is no point in flipping through the old almanac. Although it was Momoko Kikuchi herself who took the initiative to mention REV, which was reported in the newspaper with great fanfare, and the name of Yoko Nagayama.
Momoko Kikuchi and Yoko Nagayama were born at the same time in the same year and in the same month. When they first debuted, they also participated in the show together. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they have been in contact to some extent. Although they have grown up with each other,
Our work was on the right track, and the differences between us widened, so there were no opportunities to see each other again, so we naturally became estranged.
"I remember that Yoko-chan is a master at playing shamisen."
Momoko Kikuchi recalled to Shinichi Iwahashi. She squinted her eyes, not sure whether it was to facilitate her memory or because she was satisfied with the good taste of the food in her mouth.
She swallowed like a lady and continued, "She seemed to have aimed to become an enka singer at first, but because she was too young, the company rejected her because they said 'there are no enka singers under the age of 16'."
Shinichi Iwahashi listened and echoed, "I remember Ishikawa Sayuri-san, who also debuted as an idol and later transformed into an enka singer."
"That's right." Momoko Kikuchi nodded, "Yoko-chan seems to also yearn for Ishikawa-san."
However, Nagayama Yoko did not follow the path of Ishikawa Sayuri, but became the lead singer of the band.
Two people were having lunch together at an Italian restaurant in Roppongi.
Last time, when Momoko Kikuchi teased her and ate the dinner prepared by her, Shinichi Iwahashi promised her that as a thank you, he would invite her back later.
The words were settled at that time. Shinichi Iwahashi was busy with work, and he dragged him out for nearly a month. He had already forgotten about it. When he thought about it again, Momoko Kikuchi called him and told him about the TV series in which he participated.
The shooting started.
After receiving the call, Shinichi Iwahashi remembered that he still owed her a meal that had been promised but had not yet been honored.
Momoko Kikuchi herself felt that calling Shinichi Iwahashi to tell him that the TV series she was starring in had started filming was too deliberate.
When I made the call, I mentally rehearsed how I could inadvertently remind Iwahashi Shinichi of what I had agreed to do. But when I actually made the call, I felt that the coy look was too ridiculous.
The person who promised to return the invitation was Iwahashi Shinichi.
Instead, she relaxed and took the initiative to mention the meal that had been arranged. At that time, Shinichi Iwahashi had probably already thought of it on the phone. When she mentioned it, she could clearly hear something in his voice.
Variety.
When Iwahashi came to his door, Iwahashi Shinichi also felt a little sorry for delaying the agreed thing for so long. He showed a little apology, but Kikuchi Momoko excused him, "Recently I often see GENZO on TV or in newspapers.
Information about its singers..."
"Everyone in the company is so busy, you must be busier than everyone else." She said understandingly.
Although she said it as a courtesy, Momoko Kikuchi did think so in her heart, and she didn't think that she was doing it to leave a good impression on Shinichi Iwahashi.
She was considerate of Iwahashi Shinichi's busyness, but Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately refused to follow her words and talk about his busyness, that is, he didn't take the steps she prepared. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about the meal that had been delayed for almost a month.
.Don’t talk about your own busyness. This approach implies a bit of polite alienation.
"What is your favorite dish, Kikuchi-san?" he asked.
But Momoko Kikuchi refused to choose by herself, "Since Iwahashi-san is the one responding to the request, I'll leave it to Iwahashi-san." On the phone, she said in a brisk tone, "I trust Iwahashi-san's taste."
"Besides," she repeated her old words, "what I say, whether it's for common people's tastes or fancy things, it doesn't matter."
Kikuchi Momoko's words were loose. In this case, Iwahashi Shinichi made an appointment with her on the phone for the time and place of the meal she invited in return. After agreeing on the time, he first called the restaurant to reserve a place.
…
After lunch, Momoko Kikuchi's manager came to pick her up. This afternoon, Momoko Kikuchi was filming a TV series. The first episode of the TV series she participated in will be broadcast on July 4th, and it will be a month and a half before it is broadcast.
Before the official launch, she had to film the first five episodes, and the remaining half would be filmed while the TV series was airing. This time, she served as the second setter, and she had a lot of scenes, so she was very busy.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her politely, "How was the filming going?"
Momoko Kikuchi replied, "The first day went very smoothly, and I was even praised by the director."
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded politely, "Really?"
As a result, she changed her mind and said, "At that time, I was still feeling proud, thinking that it would be nothing difficult. However, in the next filming, I showed my timidity."
Momoko Kikuchi showed a slightly frustrated expression, "I am not an actor from a theater troupe, and I have not practiced from small roles. I am not a natural actor either... So, while I have to work hard, I am also very affected by my state.
.”
She took it seriously and confided to Shinichi Iwahashi her worries about serving as a second ranker for the first time.
"What role is Kikuchi-san playing?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked casually.
She told Shinichi Iwahashi, "She is a woman who works at a magazine and is about to get married. She hopes to continue working in her beloved editorial department after marriage and not go home to be a housewife."
"That's it." He nodded.
Chapter completed!
