To Tetsuro Oda, Shinichi Iwahashi is not an unimaginable person.
On Saturday afternoon, Oda Tetsuro was busy in GENZO's recording studio. After the collaboration began, he participated in the entire production of the single, and even became very familiar with the GENZO staff.
It’s not surprising that VER is a composer who is obsessed with LLION, but he spends all day in GENZO’s recording studio.
Recording studios are only for internal use by record companies. Most recording studios allow free use as long as they obtain a license. What's more, composers like Tetsuro Oda want to use them.
These days, Tetsuro Oda is working with people from GENZO and dealing with the new producer Shinichi Iwahashi. It feels like he is feeling a new atmosphere in a new place.
After BEING joined the BURNING group and had a falling out with Nagato Daiyuki, during the period when Oda Tetsuro stopped providing music for VER fans LLION, one of the changes compared to before was that he was willing to deal with external musicians.
In the past, everything about his music was left to Nagato Daiko to take care of, and Oda Tetsuro himself, like a student waiting to be assigned homework, listened to Nagato Daiko's advice and wrote the music Nagato Daiko wanted.
.
Once he fell out with Nagato Daiyuki, Oda Tetsuro felt uncomfortable losing his right-hand man and was at a loss for many things. On the other hand, he experienced an unprecedented freedom from it.
In the past, he was not interested in getting to know musicians, but under the introduction of others, he got to know established or new musicians and communicated with them. The more he communicated, the more valuable freedom he felt.
Rather than just waiting to be assigned homework and complete the music that the company wants, there are many things that I want to achieve on my own.
Shinichi Iwahashi, a young producer, trusts his talent without hesitation, listens to his ideas and opinions, and takes the initiative to fight for him as a producer so that he can use it to the best of his ability in this collaboration.
Unknowingly, Oda Tetsuro was full of good intentions toward this young producer.
When he was just starting out, feeling confused about the way forward, and having no confidence in himself, Nagato Daiyuki was a dictatorial person who asked him to follow a path that he had to take, so that the erratic personality of Oda Tetsuro could continue.
However, after having his own ideas about the future, he no longer wanted to be manipulated, and was even forced to sell his soul. If Nagato Daiko had not agreed to hand over the copyright to BURNING for operation, the conflicting plans would not have become difficult to reconcile.
At this time, it was difficult for Oda Tetsuro to work with Nagato Daiyuki, who was arbitrary and did not allow him to have his own ideas. In particular, Nagato Daiyuki, who bowed to BURNING, lost his former role in Oda Tetsuro's mind.
Brilliant image.
Of course, Oda Tetsuro is also grateful to Nagato Daiyuki for taking care of and helping him. Otherwise, he would not have any objections to how the songs he has written over the years are arranged.
However, being grateful is one thing, but not wanting to continue the current situation is another.
Today, it is the enlightened and courageous producer Shinichi Iwahashi who has an even more glorious image in Oda Tetsuro's mind. Whether it is his past helping underground bands in trouble or his support for different companies
He is also cultivating singers with all his heart, and does not pay attention to the distinction between different genres. Now, Shinichi Iwahashi shines with a light that makes Oda Tetsuro admire him.
Of course, my heart is full of good intentions for Iwahashi Shinichi, but that's all.
In the afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly visited, and a little girl and a puppy entered the recording studio with him.
…
On Saturday morning, Iwahashi Shinichi received a call from Utada Hikaru, telling him, "Iwahashi-san, now, my father and I are going to leave home and go to the recording studio."
This spring, Utada Hikaru entered the second grade of elementary school. He is one year older and has twice as many clever ideas. Now he is at an age that even a dog would dislike.
When he went out in the afternoon and prepared to go to the recording studio, Shinichi Iwahashi took Kenta Inuko and went to work together.
Akina Nakamori's business trip is not over yet. The puppy is fostered by him and it is normal for him to take it to the recording studio.
Utada Hikaru attends a school for foreign children and does not attend classes on Saturdays. He wakes up naturally on holidays and has breakfast with his father. I heard that Iwahashi-san has been in the recording studio from time to time, so I gave him a call before going out.
As for mother Fuji Keiko
"Dad and mom recently divorced again."
After meeting Shinichi Iwahashi, Hikaru Utada told him the matter as if announcing it to him. The couple divorced last month, and Keiko Fuji is now going to Greece alone. Terumi Utada plans to bring her with him after the current work at hand is over.
I took my daughter back to New York to live for a while.
When Iwahashi Shinichi heard the news from her, he couldn't help but admire the two couples. Fortunately, they were two Japanese. Otherwise, with the number of marriages and divorces, it would always feel like the couple had countless properties in their name.
Utada Hikaru is used to seeing troubles, and he can even complain, "Fortunately, I was naturalized in Japan last time, otherwise, it would be troublesome to deal with the divorce."
After hearing this, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know how to answer the next sentence.
On the other hand, Utada Terumi, who was debugging equipment not far away, turned his back to Shinichi Iwahashi and his daughter, who were chatting, and said, "Indeed, it's a good thing we are in Japan, otherwise it would be troublesome."
When these words came out of his mouth, Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless.
However, when Utada Terumi said these words, he was not actually feeling angry or making fun of his absent wife (ex-wife), but was stating a fact.
Keiko Fuji's mental condition, if there are too many troubles when she wants to divorce, she will definitely collapse.
It is really not an ordinary person to be able to get married and divorced to such a level that it makes people speechless. Looking at the way this family gets along, it will be a matter of time before Keiko Fuji comes back and the couple remarries again.
The way the two couples got along made Shinichi Iwahashi feel incredible, and he also somewhat admired Utada Terumi. In addition, he felt a little pity for Utada Hikaru, who looked as if nothing had happened and "here we go again".
But Utada Hikaru himself didn't take it seriously.
After announcing the new situation of her father and mother, Utada Hikaru's attention returned to the puppy. She lay on the ground and teased the little puppy.
"Kenta." Shinichi Iwahashi told her the puppy's name.
Utada Hikaru nodded, "Kent~ Tai~" Jiraimi's puppy was easy to talk to, and after being teased by her for a while, he stopped in front of her obediently and was patted on the head by her.
Utada Hikaru shook hands with the puppy and said curiously, "The name Kenta sounds really old-school."
"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi smiled.
She nodded, "Dad has recently borrowed a lot of Toei's Renxia films, and this name doesn't feel out of place at all for the protagonist."
But in fact, it is the name of a puppy that is so small that it can be trampled if not careful.
"Did Akina-san give her the name?" Utada Hikaru asked.
"Then why did you bring Akina-san's puppy to the recording studio?" The little girl, as cunning as Chibi Maruko-chan, deliberately showed an exaggerated expression of gossip.
Iwahashi Shinichi began to realize the power of a half-grown child. He kept his face straight and said, "Akina-san went to New York, and the puppy is temporarily fostered with me."
"That's it." She nodded and accepted the explanation. Judging from this reaction, the question just now was really just to know the answer and satisfy her curiosity.
Utada Hikaru repeatedly said "shake hands" to the puppy. After repeating it several times, the puppy got bored and started to pretend to be dumbfounded. After a while, he wagged his tail at her perfunctorily and came over to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Hide at his feet.
Kenta is the period when puppies are most energetic. Even so, they cannot resist enthusiastic children.
Shinichi Iwahashi leaned over and touched the puppy, picked it up, and held it in his arms. The coquettish puppy twisted around in his arms, stuck out its little tongue, and licked his arms.
Utada Hikaru sat cross-legged on the floor, raised his head, and faced him.
"Iwahashi-san's appearance is also very suitable for Toei's Renxia film." She looked at it carefully and expressed her thoughts.
Iwahashi Shinichi teased her, "What kind of plot should that be?"
"This is it."
Utada Hikaru really thought about it seriously, "There was a world-famous swordsman who was ordered to kill a puppy. But because the puppy was so cute, he couldn't bear the pain and killed it, so he secretly sent it to the mountains. As a result, the puppy...
But the dog followed him closely and regarded him as its master..."
"Then what?" Shinichi Iwahashi listened intently.
Utada Hikaru held his chin with one hand, "Then, because the owner of the puppy lost his beloved puppy, he ordered the person who killed the puppy to be hunted down. The protagonist had to evade the pursuit. Yes, even if he handed over the puppy, he would be killed.
I can ask my enemy to help me, but because the puppy is so cute, I can’t bear to send him back..."
Her editing was lifelike, but it had less and less to do with "Ren Xia movies".
Iwahashi Shinichi listened with great interest to the story made up by the child, and from time to time he asked her "What's next?" or reminded her that there was some inconsistency.
However, unless Utada Hikaru asked him what he thought, he would not add his own ideas to it.
Holding the puppy in his arms, Iwahashi-san enthusiastically discussed the plot of the story with the daughter of producer Utada. The staff in the recording studio first found this scene funny, but later, seeing how serious they were, they began to be a little stunned.
...So it turns out that Iwahashi-san still has such a side?
Anyway, after the famous scene of "having fun outside the pachinko parlor", Shinichi Iwahashi completely gave up on his image, and it didn't matter what the staff thought.
Ordinarily, Iwahashi Shinichi came to work, but he was chatting animatedly with Utada Hikaru. Utada Terumi couldn't bear to interrupt the communication between the two people, so after debugging the equipment, he started the preparation work himself.
He took one side of the monitoring earphone away from his ear, paid some attention, and listened to the world of Ren Xia movies imagined by his daughter Xiaoguang, which actually had nothing to do with the world of Ren Xia movies.
There is also Mr. Iwahashi who carefully accompanies Xiaoguang to complete the plot and takes her random thoughts seriously.
…
"I didn't say that Akina-san gave the name because I knew it was Akina-san's puppy." Utada Hikaru raised his head and looked at the puppy being held by Iwahashi Shinichi and said.
She was coming out of Utada Terumi's recording studio with Shinichi Iwahashi.
Iwahashi Shinichi finished chatting with Utada Hikari about the story, and then went to talk to Utada Terumi about work. After confirming the progress, his work was done, but Utada Terumi still had to be busy.
Shinichi Iwahashi was here, and he helped take care of the children as before. He discussed with Utada Hikaru that they would go out to play together, but before leaving the recording studio, he had to go to the other side, Daikoku Maki
The same recording studio WANDS is using these days.
Since he agreed to take her out to play, he might as well take her there with him now. So, he hugged the puppy and led the child, and set off together.
The way Utada Hikaru looked at the puppy was noticed by Shinichi Iwahashi, but he just pretended not to notice. There was no other way, even if she wanted to hug the puppy, she had to see if Kenta agreed.
After hearing what she said, Iwahashi Shinichi cooperated and asked, "What's the reason for that?"
After having a chat with Utada Kodai about the "new type of rendition movie" that they jointly set, the two of them now felt quite sympathetic to each other, as if they were on the same side and had accomplished something big.
Although this so-called "big event" was just a story made up of himself and Kenta.
Utada Hikari regarded him as a friend, and he would say things directly to his friends, "If Akina-san likes a face like Iwahashi-san, it would be normal for him to give the puppy such an old-school name."
Shinichi Iwahashi laughed dryly, "That doesn't sound like a nice thing to say." Being called old-fashioned by a little girl over eight years old, I really didn't know how to react.
Utada Hikaru said seriously, "It's not a good thing, but it's not a bad thing either. I'm just explaining my guess."
"It makes sense." This time, he really laughed.
This little girl is very clever.
As soon as he finished praising her in his mind, Utada Hikaru immediately added, "Also, if Iwahashi-san names the puppy, he should choose something like 'Zeus' or 'Mario', or something unexpected, like
'Mimi', 'fenjiang' and the like."
Iwahashi Shinichi was both funny and helpless, "It seems like it would be best for me not to participate in the naming thing."
While talking, we arrived at the recording studio. Iwahashi Shinichi pointed at the door and motioned for Utada Hikaru to knock.
The two people, one big and one small, exchanged glances, as if they were going to give her some important task. Utada Hikari was a little speechless, like a little adult, and looked like there was nothing he could do about Iwahashi Shinichi.
...To treat a girl who is over eight years old and almost nine years old as a child, Iwahashi-san must have never dealt with children.
Even so
Just think of it as a friend and help him out.
Utada Hikaru knocked on the door, recalling the etiquette taught by his father. After pushing the door open and entering, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Excuse me~"
Iwahashi Shinichi touched her head and stepped forward.
