On Christmas Eve this year, Miwa-chan and Nakamura brother performed as usual at LIVEHOU, a venue co-financed by the three of them, vowing to make this routine a tradition.
After the chain LIVEHOU opened branches in Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Miwa-chan's hometown Sapporo, it opened two new branches in Sendai and Hiroshima last year.
Of course, all stores, without exception, are rental properties. Although since they started to get involved in LIVEHOU sex business, the three of them have become bank financial specialists and the key targets of attention in the eyes of real estate salesmen. Iwahashi Shinichi, the person in charge, is even more so from time to time.
Receive a call from a financial specialist, or suddenly receive a request for a visit from an uninvited guest.
Commissioners who are determined to be the best in performance can really ask for loans from others.
Rent a house and open a shop. If the business is not doing well, close it and cancel the lease. If the business is running well, rent a house to expand. You can open it wherever you want. This is a truth that even Miwa-chan understands.
Of course, everyone who enthusiastically promotes and participates in this process understands this truth.
It's just that they live in an era that goes against common sense.
After opening branches in major cities across the country, their LIVEHOU colors have another purpose: becoming the venue of choice for singers on tour.
Among the singers who hold concerts, there are some who can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people, and naturally there are also those who perform in venues that can only accommodate fifty people. Even unknown singers, as long as they can have a few thousand loyal listeners, they can rely on
Music can also make a living.
And starting to take on tours for singers also brought a stable income to LIVEHOU. Only then can they say that their LIVEHOU has a foundation for normal operation. And this is also the focus of Shinichi Iwahashi.
It not only provides a stage for underground musicians, but can also be used as a performance venue.
On this basis, more branches may be opened in the future. But by then, the meaning of opening a branch will be to add another one and turn it into a tour route for unknown singers.

Counting chain stores in Tokyo, since this year, local staff and talent scouts have sent dozens of carefully selected performance tapes to the company to recruit new talents.
GENZO is now very experienced in the operation of the band. It has recruited several famous players from the industry who can take charge of their own business, and has also actively cooperated with well-known producers and musicians in the industry.
Since Shinichi Iwahashi resigned as president last year and took charge of the debut of Daikoku Maki, he has seldom been directly responsible for a certain band. After meeting Tetsuya Komuro, now, in order to support his electronic dance music project,
Enrich yourself and prepare at the same time.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who temporarily turned his attention away from the band, has not been in charge of any new band in the past year except for the bands he was originally in charge of.
He can still attract new people to GENZO without having to do everything himself. This actually shows that today, GENZO's reputation as a record company has reached a level where it can win people's trust.
However, after all, it was the band that started the business. Although he is now preparing to make a change, when Shinichi Iwahashi is making plans for the coming year, he is still considering launching one or two bands himself next year. After all, he started as a band producer. If he is far away from
New bands will lose their sense of catching popular trends.
The form of a band is different from that of an idol. Even if the popular trend in the music world changes in a short period of time, a band will definitely be able to take the lead. This is because a band can be integrated with any kind of popular trend. Even if the current wave of band craze passes.
, Iwahashi Shinichi also firmly believes that when new trends are in full swing, new bands can still become popular.
It is this particularity of the band that keeps Shinichi Iwahashi from losing his sense of capturing the band's popular trends.
Of course, the reason for doing this is because Shinichi Iwahashi also needs to consider that in addition to planning the next new direction of GENZO, he also has to guard against the decline of his original influence. Therefore, this became a very
Do the impossible.

After Giraffe Man became a limited-appearance character, Shinichi Iwahashi could only attend DREAMS E T's regular performance on Christmas Eve as an audience member to support it.
And on Christmas Eve this year, Akina Nakamori came to watch the show with her.
Three days ago, she was performing on the stage of SUNPLAZA in Nakano, showing off her dazzling brilliance as a big star. At this moment, she dressed up and followed Shinichi Iwahashi to the venue early, squeezed into the front row, faced the small stage, and waited for the performance to start.
.
On Christmas Eve last year, Shinichi Iwahashi went to watch the band's regular performance alone, and then met up with Akina Nakamori. This year, the two of them finally went together to watch the same show.
At such a performance, the audience's entire attention is directed to the stage that is just around the corner from the moment they enter the venue. Even Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina are no exception, looking at the stage in front of them.
Although, Iwahashi Shinichi thought, part of the reason for such concentration was that the standing auditorium was too narrow to allow anyone to look around, and could only look at the widest and brightest place in the venue.
.
The venue is small, and the band's team is very simple. In addition to the keyboard player who serves as a substitute for the Giraffe Man, there is only one additional drummer as a support musician.
On the keyboard used on the stage, there was a sticker of a male giraffe cartoon image. Miwa-chan had a share of the credit for this somewhat funny cartoon image. Although no one really meant it except herself, who was very proud of it.
I think there is something worthy of praise in her design.
But she insisted on bringing the giraffe man with her, and Iwahashi Shinichi became the person who should not complain the most.
Standing in the front row, she could see everything on the stage. Nakamori Akina felt funny in her heart when she saw the cartoon giraffe man posted on the keyboard.
But what made her feel funny was not actually the funny sticker image, but what emerged in her mind. Shinichi Iwahashi had no choice but to do whatever Miwa Yoshida looked like. And when she thought of being in the audience, she was
Shinichi Iwahashi next to him would also notice the cartoon sticker, which made Akina Nakamori find it even more interesting.
When the performance started, Akina Nakamori put aside these strange imaginations and naturally focused on the performance itself.
Miwa Yoshida's singing ability is recognized as the top level, and her crazy personality makes her a little reserved when she first sings. But once she starts singing, she seems to plunge into her own music world and run wildly until she is out of breath.
Drenched in sweat, I sang to the fullest and entertained the audience.
