After all, this single that set a new record came from Nakamura’s flash of inspiration.
From joining dreams e true as a third person to assist Miwa-chan, to his songs being able to match Miwa-chan's lyrics. And now, once again, there is a record-breaking song composed by him.
Brother Nakamura himself is most proud of the fact that "The Battle of Golden Sun" has sold so well. At the same time, in his heart, he is full of confidence in this great success.
dreams e true is already an undoubted top band in Japan. With no rivals in the country, he will inevitably want to set his sights on markets outside the country.
After Japanese musicians successfully ascended to the top spot in their country, their eyes will always be on the same place.
Regarding entering the United States, when Miwa-chan was still in her hometown, she dreamed of standing on the Grammy podium one day. She had great ambitions. As for Nakamura-san, he even had his blazing ambitions.
These two people, who were inspired by Western music, were full of fighting spirit to leave Japan.
However, compared to Miwa-chan who runs everything based on intuition and enthusiasm, Brother Nakamura has more specific ideas about "breaking into beauty".
The difference is probably that Miwa-chan is the kind of person who usually keeps quiet, but one day, she announces as if on a whim that she wants to make a career in beauty, cooperate with a new music production team, and get a
If you look like you've made up your mind, it will take a lot of effort to convince her - but it may not work.
As for Brother Nakamura, when he had this idea and thought that he had the conditions to consider this matter, he started to discuss it with Shinichi Iwahashi to hear this question that could really determine where the band would go next.
people's thoughts.
Iwahashi Shinichi's answer was: "It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but now is definitely not the right time."
dreams e true has just taken the top spot in the music industry, and it is time to go all out, take advantage of this momentum to release new works, set new records, and work hard towards the goal of "representing the band of the Heisei era"
.
At this moment, if I choose to go to the United States, I will give up the top spot I have obtained, which is stupid.
In addition to having to firmly hold the position of the "number one band" and not easily leave the band's invincible arena, the more realistic thing is that, in terms of the music of Dreams e True, there is a high probability that there will be no good results if you try to break into the United States.
Even "The Battle of Golden Sun", which Brother Nakamura is proud of at the moment, was sampled from the Earth, Wind and Fire band's arrangement.
As the world's largest music market, the United States has no need to listen to a band from Japan that strives to cater to their tastes... not to mention that they still can't taste any fresh music.
In addition, we must also consider the background of the current bubble burst.
Japan's big dream of "being able to say no to American daddy" has come to an end. If the band that is firmly ranked No. 1 in Japan goes to the United States and fails, it will fall from the clouds and fall from the "Japanese band."
For a Japanese person who wakes up from the hallucination of "Ben No. 1", it is tantamount to a great shame and humiliation, pouring salt on the wound, pulling the hair and hitting the mouth.
At that stage when the Japanese's self-esteem was rapidly inflated, it didn't matter even if they failed to enter the United States. Going forward, at that stage when the Japanese looked up to the United States and followed the United States in everything, failure to enter the United States was only expected.
Only at this moment, we must never fail in our pursuit of beauty. Once we fail, it will become a shame for Japan. If we turn back at that time, there will be absolutely no good fruits to be gained.
"There is no need to do things that are only allowed to succeed and not fail." Shinichi Iwahashi refuted Brother Nakamura's idea of pursuing beauty.
His unthinking refusal made Nakamura Masato a little disappointed. However, being thrown cold water on him did not make Nakamura brother feel dissatisfied. After careful consideration, he still agreed with Iwahashi Shinichi's words——
"Indeed, Dreams e True hasn't produced a fresher song yet."
As for Iwahashi Shinichi's concern, at this moment, entering the United States is something that can only be successful but not failed. Masato Nakamura does not feel that deeply. In his heart, he feels that Shinichi Iwahashi is making a fuss out of a molehill and exaggerating the negative consequences of failure.
Influence.
"Of course, nothing can be done."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't say anything in the end, and reminded, "First of all, you can't move the main position from Japan to other places under any circumstances. However, that doesn't mean you can't export music outside of Japan."
Shinichi Iwahashi’s idea is to negotiate with Sony to release output disks for overseas markets starting from this "Final Battle of Golden Sun". Without moving the main position from Japan to other places, he can play casually overseas.
ticket.
This kind of thinking is naturally pragmatic, so pragmatic that Brother Nakamura had nothing to say, and the record company also tried its best to cooperate.
In addition, Shinichi Iwahashi reminded Nakamura, "Now, no matter what music the band releases, the Japanese public will buy it."
Therefore, it is a good time to explore new genres. Even if a single is too fresh and cannot be accepted by the public, as long as the next single changes the genre back and cooperates with enough publicity, it will not be criticized.
Influence.
Shinichi Iwahashi's cold water was well-founded. Although Brother Nakamura had lofty ambitions, he also knew the stakes. Because of the great success of "The Battle of Golden Sun", his ambitions were tempered a little.
And the plan proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi to issue output disks in overseas markets also made Brother Nakamura feel that this time his words were not in vain. Therefore, the negotiation between the two Zeng Yi behind Miwa-chan's back can be regarded as a good result.
When it comes to going to America, Nakamura-san and Miwa-chan definitely want to go together. But they are not the ones who decide whether to go, when to go, and how to go.
If Shinichi Iwahashi disagrees, the record company and the agency will stand 100% on Shinichi Iwahashi's side. By then, Dreams e True will probably fall apart.
Knowing this in his heart, Brother Nakamura will never reveal his thoughts to Miwa-chan. Not only that, in order to continue to be invincible in the Japanese market, he will also fully cooperate and support Shinichi Iwahashi.
As for the future, Brother Nakamura will not just give up on his idea of entering the United States.
As for Shinichi Iwahashi, he has not forgotten Miwa-chan's lofty ideal of "standing on the Grammy podium". Whether such an ideal is possible to be realized... I still can't make a conclusion yet.
Even if this possibility is slim, after all, the band has only debuted for five years and has a long future.
After all, we agreed to sing together until we die.
It's just that we can't draw a conclusion now, and it's not the time yet.
After having a head-on discussion about the matter with Nakamura-san, Iwahashi Shinichi put it aside. Miwa-chan, who was unaware, continued to work with Nakamura-san on promotions, while Iwahashi Shinichi took a step back to prepare for the moment.
