In terms of musical standards, Tetsuro Oda, who provided the music, is a certified composition genius, and Maki Daikoku is highly recognized as a singer-songwriter, and both are stars with high hopes in the industry.
On the contrary, WANDS has neither fame nor popularity, and their own musical standards cannot be said to be able to stand alone.
The three young people in the band recognized the musical standards of Oda Tetsuro and Daikoku Maki, but they also knew that their own talents were not enough to stand alone. If Oda Tetsuro and Daikuro Maki were regarded as musicians, the three of them also sincerely respected them.
them.
…However, even if they don’t have popularity or fame, or the talent to make a blockbuster, the band should gratefully accept the arrangement, serve as a foil in a collaboration that they don’t want to participate in, and perform on the same stage with “big stars”.
However, a singer who chose to enter the entertainment industry, became a mainstream label, accepted the packaging of the company, and now talks about his own ideals, pride, and dissatisfaction with this cooperation, it just seems ridiculous on his own side.
Unless you have the courage and determination to jump out, from the time you sell the first thing, from the first compromise, as long as you stay within this rule,
What you have will only be taken away from you, and you will lower your head again and again.
After the cooperation information is announced,
When the general public talks about this collaboration,
Various speculations about WANDS,
This made these three proud young people feel even more humiliated. Even musicians who had known each other in the underground music industry made sarcastic remarks to them.
“Hitchhiking into the mainstream.”
However,
What makes the nameless fire in the hearts of the three young people of WANDS difficult to extinguish is not only dissatisfaction with this compromised cooperation and shame at the speculation and ridicule from the outside world, but also the anger caused by their own cowardice and incompetence.
Perhaps it should be said,
Most of their anger comes from their hatred of themselves who are constantly compromising.
Especially after the cooperation officially begins,
Having direct contact with Daikoku Moki, the three young men all recognized her talent and character and believed that she was worthy of the fame and sales she has now.
"Go and serve as a foil to a idiot with a false reputation",
This is not true,
At least,
The name of the Great Black Moji is not in vain. In this way, the dissatisfaction in their hearts,
If you get to the bottom of it, it turns out to be on yourself.
But no matter what the three young people think or think about it,
Since the cooperation has begun,
It is necessary and can only continue,
And do your best to do your best.
Since compromise comes first, we must do a good job, otherwise,
It only adds to the laughing stock.
After production begins,
The three young men were all working hard, thinking about making a show.
Be serious and humble when working,
The reputation among the staff at GENZO is quite good. However,
Outside of work, the three young men were taciturn,
Depressed.
ironnically,
Uesugi Noboru's handsome and unruly face, because of his silence,
On the contrary, it adds a touch of elegance during work,
Cameras were set up in the recording studio at all times to record this high-profile collaboration.
…
Unlike WANDS, the three young men who are full of worries,
Daikuro Maki and Oda Tetsuro, a pair of friends, are very happy that this song can be released smoothly.
When the cooperation was in the discussion stage, Oda Tetsuro took the initiative as a composer to participate in discussions between both companies. After production started, he spent all day in GENZO's recording studio.
This practice reached the ears of Nagato Daiyuki, which made him feel unhappy.
He was obviously the one who discovered and promoted him. If it weren't for him, Oda Tetsuro, who was naturally sensitive and had low self-esteem, would have given up music long ago and didn't know what to do. As a result, now, this young man who was favored by him is full of alienation from him.
Nagato Daiyuki took great care of Oda Tetsuro. However, just because an elder brother took care of his younger brother did not mean that as the leader of a company, he had to give up his own strategy and accommodate someone among them.
For VER fans, LLION Records, Oda Tetsuro no longer provides music for the company, and he has no objection to how Nagato Daiyuki wants to deal with his inventory of songs from previous years. But this lack of opinion is more like a
It doesn't matter.
In other words, Oda Tetsuro didn't care what songs he had written or how those songs would be arranged. Furthermore, this attitude made Nagato Daiyuki feel that in Oda Tetsuro's heart, LLION records, which are fans of VER, also matter.
I don't think it matters.
Since when did Oda Tetsuro, who obeyed his advice without any second thoughts,
Are you drifting away from yourself?
The trigger was that BEING accepted Ikuo Suho's recruitment and formed VER fans LLION Records. However, this contradiction deepened.
making it increasingly difficult to reconcile,
The gap between the two people becomes deeper and deeper...
Is he that naughty boy who is having a heated fight with Oda Tetsuro?
Sent to Nagato Daiyuki's desk, he browsed through the photos and videos in the recording studio. Not only did he capture the silent and melancholy faces of the three WANDS young people, they also captured the photos and videos in the recording studio.
Daikoku Maki's cheerful and laughing face. There is also Oda Tetsuro who turns his head to talk and laugh with Daikoku Maki, and Oda Tetsuro who is deep in thought at the console.
...and Shinichi Iwahashi, who had a good chat with Oda Tetsuro.
For this collaboration, Shinichi Iwahashi sold a huge favor to Oda Tetsuro. Not only did he invite him to participate in the arrangement and production, but after listening to his opinions, he personally came forward to hire a music producer for Oda Tetsuro.
nominal.
Nagato Daiyuki sneered inwardly, feeling that this naughty boy was just pretending to be a good person and giving favors.
However, it's one thing to be upset with that naughty boy. Thinking of the good opportunity presented to him that could help WANDS open up the situation, Nagato Daiko suppressed his mood and waited for the release of the single. WANDS took off with this east wind.
moment.
Nagato Daiyuki continued to look down. Among the photos and videos sent, there was even a scene of Shinichi Iwahashi surrounded by three young people from WANDS. The three young people were watching Shinichi Iwahashi like students listening to a class.
Every move.
He sneered and was really good at pretending to be nice.
…
With Daikoku Moji's popularity, whoever collaborates with her now will receive a huge increase in attention.
Coupled with the fact that Tetsuro Oda is a new and famous composer, and a story of sympathetic friendship that has been carefully exaggerated in the media as the background of the cooperation, it is difficult for the entire project not to attract attention.
In this way, the new band called WANDS sent over by VER fan LLION will definitely benefit from the cooperation.
This is an obvious thing. Even the audience thinks that it is "a popular singer and a newcomer bundled together". As a person who promoted the cooperation, it is impossible not to be clear about this truth.
Ikuo Sufang, who was introduced to the band by Tanimo, knew it, and Shunichi Baba, the representative sent by LLION, a VER fan, also knew it. As for Shinichi Iwahashi himself, he knew that this cooperation would bring huge attention to WANDS.
One thing that is obvious is that Tetsuro Oda is the composer of VER fan LLION, and the collaborative single being produced is also Tetsuro Oda’s song.
With Daikoku Moki's current fame and popularity, orders have been pouring in even before the single has been completed, and sales will definitely not be bad.
On the surface, this is a single by Daikoku Moki and Her Green Leaves, and most people will think so.
But in fact, as long as this band takes advantage of the popularity of this single and releases an album composed by Tetsuro Oda, the attention devoted to this single will naturally be drawn to their side. That is,
It can be said that this collaboration is equivalent to a hit single for this new band.
If these three young men can seize this opportunity and take advantage of this gust of wind, they will naturally have a bright future.
And WANDS was able to take off on this gust of wind, which made Shinichi Iwahashi happy to see it happen.
In order for the popularity of the band era to last longer, what is most needed is a steady stream of fresh bands. Whether the band is launched by oneself or by a rival, as long as there are popular bands on the front line, as long as there are
If a new band can enter the front line, it can retain the public's attention to the form of the band.
For long-term considerations, differences between schools are the least worth mentioning. What we should be happy to see is a hundred flowers blooming.
The three young men of WANDS were obviously packaged by Daiko Nagato. The handsome lead singer was paired with a down-to-earth and reliable musician as a green leaf. This was an obvious packaging method of "idolizing the band". However, during the production of the single, Iwa
Hashi Shinichi had several contacts with the band, and felt that these three young men were not empty-headed, just following the company's arrangements.
They have their own ideas, but they have to do work that is at the mercy of others. This makes the three young people exude a subtle sense of pain caused by involuntary actions.
Especially the handsome and unruly face of the lead singer named Uesugi Noboru, because of the involuntary pain, it looks particularly moving. Compared with the simple, high-spirited and handsome lead singer, he looks more beautiful.
However, this charm brought by pain is actually dangerous and fragile.
If these three young people remain patient and are manipulated by the company, they will have to suppress their true thoughts until they can no longer endure the pain and move towards destruction.
But if they give up their ideas and become pawns at the mercy of the company, or only have mediocre and dispensable ideas, then the charm brought by pain will disappear.
, this band will be completely reduced to a performance band, no different from every incompetent third-rate band.
When Shinichi Iwahashi thought about this, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart that the current situation of the band might be what Nagato Daiko expected. If these three young people had not had ideals and ambitions, Nagato Daiko would not have chosen them.
There are so many production companies that open every year in the industry, and there are so few that can be opened for ten years and have record companies. You can count them on your fingers. Although there is a history of letting Dai Heimoji go because he judged people based on their appearance, he has a long history.
Todayuki is able to achieve what he is today, of course because of his two brushes.
It's just that Nagato Daiyuki's brush cannot brush ordinary-looking people.
It doesn’t matter whether he had previous dealings with Nagato Daiko, or whether Nagato Daiko had objections to him. Anyway, in the plastics industry, even if Nagato Daiko hates him, GENZO and VER fans LLION are now cooperating in a friendly manner.
However, the new band that collaborated with Daikuro Moki was composed of three young people, which made Shinichi Iwahashi pay special attention to them when they first started working together.
However, these three young men were equally polite and distant when facing him, as if they were born to be shy and inarticulate. But he was vaguely aware of the three young men's rejection of him.
Iwahashi Shinichi was curious about this awkward band, but curiosity was curiosity. Since he felt that he was being rejected by them, he stopped doing business.
…
This is a rare collaboration. Iwahashi Shinichi does not intend to quickly complete the recording of the single, then end the production, wait for the release of the single, and then both parties work together to complete the promotion work. Instead, he regards this cooperation as a musical exchange.
If you just record a single, then the workload is pitiful.
But if you use this single as a bridge for cooperation and exchange, work slowly and carefully. Keep making and overturning. After overturning, you may feel that the previous one is better, and it will become a big project to find it again.
.
Fortunately, he is the chief producer, and the rhythm is in his hands. As long as the production can be completed and delivered to print before the determined single release date, no matter how much he messes with during this period, it is all within the producer's authority.
What's more, he didn't do this intentionally to cause trouble for the singers. Even the singers themselves were addicted to it.
Oda Tetsuro was so interested in this song that he took the initiative to attend the discussion meeting. Iwahashi Shinichi asked him for his opinions on the production of the song. After the production started, every time he saw him in the recording studio, he would chat with him about music production.
idea.
On the one hand, I am curious about what this talented composer has to say about music production. On the other hand, I am also preparing to invite Tetsuro Oda to participate in the selection meeting held by GENZO.
The two of them chatted, and as long as Daikuro Moki was present, they joined in soon. One was a friend who admired her, and the other was a producer who supported her. Daikuro Moki, who has a cheerful and casual personality, was in the recording studio.
It's even more relaxing here.
During the collaboration, the photographer who was following us in the recording studio took countless pictures of them chatting together. When the time comes, these pictures will definitely be edited into a promotional video.
During breaks, the three young men from WANDS always stay in a corner not far away, sitting there like three obedient and well-behaved students, seemingly listening carefully. As a new band, in the popular
Such behavior is normal in front of singers and famous producers. Even if it is filmed and released, it doesn't matter.
However, although Shinichi Iwahashi gave up on approaching these three young men, when discussing official matters, he followed his usual attitude towards musicians and asked the three young men for their thoughts and opinions. During the production, he also listened to their opinions.
view.
During the production, this single was arranged and re-sung again and again. Iwahashi Shinichi also invited these three young people to participate in their opinions and complete the version they wanted.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, these matters are business matters that treat everyone equally.
However, in the process of doing business, the alienation that the three young men originally showed and the slightest rejection of Shinichi Iwahashi gradually softened.
