At that time, Tetsuya Komuro was a new composer, and Rie Miyazawa was a very popular idol at the height of his popularity.
At this moment, the future of the super popular idol that everyone was optimistic about in the past is unknown, but the former composer has once again become a famous producer that attracts everyone's attention.
This is the reason why big stars should be polite to newly debuted people in black behind the scenes. The flowering period of stars may not be very long, but the sapling of the people in black behind the scenes may grow into a towering tree in the industry.
.
Even so——
"Miyazawa Rie-chan? I have some impression. Her mother, Mitsuko-san, is a hard person to talk to." Komuro Tetsuya commented after hearing Iwahashi Shinichi mention that he once wrote a song for Miyazawa Rie.
Hearing this, Shinichi Iwahashi laughed hard.
When I mention Miyazawa Rie, I subconsciously think of her mother, which shows what kind of existence Miyazawa Mitsuko is in daily life. I am afraid that at the work site, Miyazawa Mitsuko's presence can overwhelm the real star daughter.
Komuro Tetsuya was extremely smart. Looking at Iwahashi Shinichi's look, he immediately guessed: "Could it be that you have also dealt with Mitsuko-san?"
He held his chin with one hand, struck a classic literary pose, and continued reasoning, "At that time, I met Rie-chan once in the recording studio because she was composing music for her. Of course, I also met Mitsuko-san. After that,
I heard from the producer in charge that he asked Rie-chan to try singing. It was Mitsuko-san who listened to other people’s suggestions and felt that it would be a waste not to use it if it was popular... and there was no serious plan for a singing career from the beginning."
Also because he never planned to seriously manage Rie Miyazawa's singing business from the beginning, Mitsuko Miyazawa didn't pay much attention to Tetsuya Komuro as a composer.
"In other words," Tetsuya Komuro said the result of his reasoning, "Mitsuko-san's decision to deal with you must not be about music."
The implication is that if Shinichi Iwahashi was just a "music producer", he would not be able to catch the eye of Mitsuko Miyazawa.
Iwahashi Shinichi patted his shoulder and made a funny gesture of brushing something off, "I'm surrounded by reasoning experts."
Tetsuya Komuro was very interested, "Is there anyone else who is good at reasoning?"
Not only is he good at reasoning, he is also a mystery writer.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought that he would give a copy of Yukiko Okada's new novel to Tetsuya Komuro in the future. With this thought, it was as if the younger sister in the family had achieved some insignificant achievements, so the older brother also felt honored to meet people.
Just do a lot of publicity for my little sister.
Of course, Okada Yukiko's achievements are not really "insignificant". Only Iwahashi Shinichi's tacky joy and pride are real. But there is nothing wrong with being a bit tacky.
Today, Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro met to discuss a new production plan.
Old-school producers, more or less, always have certain requirements for singers' singing skills, but Tetsuya Komuro believes that singing skills are not that important to singers. Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned Miyazawa Rie because of Watanabe Manyumi,
I went to check out her resume, and when I saw this, I thought of Rie Miyazawa's singing ability that could make a sound engineer with an annual salary of tens of millions go on strike, so I mentioned it casually.
However, in Tetsuya Komuro's view, since the sound editing technology has been very advanced, there is no need to place too many demands on the singer's singing skills. In fact, in his view, if a song is sung flawlessly, it will actually become a flaw.
With such words, it seems that if Miyazawa Rie really wants to be a singer seriously, Tetsuya Komuro will be the best choice to be her producer - of course, just kidding. If you don't pay attention to singing skills, then... The vocal conditions of a singer will have requirements other than singing skills.
Compared with singing skills, Tetsuya Komuro pays more attention to the texture of the singer's voice, the way he pronounces words, and personal characteristics... It can be said that if you don't pay attention to singing skills, you should pay attention to everything other than singing skills.
Beauty is rare, but finding an ugly person who perfectly meets certain conditions is no less difficult than finding a beauty in the standard sense.
From the first time he listened to the song "My Revolution" written by Tetsuya Komuro for Misato Watanabe, and then when he officially started to interact with Tetsuya Komuro, and listened to the songs he produced, Shinichi Iwahashi discovered a problem. That is, from These pieces written by Tetsuya Komuro are different from traditional Japanese music. The tunes are high and strange, and they often feel like they are teetering on the edge of being out of tune.
Coupled with Tetsuya Komuro's statement that "singing skills are not important", these songs seem to have been born out of the need for charming singers who are off-key and charming.
"If you need to be good at singing to be selected as a singer, then there is no need to have so many singers as there are now. It should be like a pianist, where there are only a few dozen famous musicians to satisfy the audience." Tetsuya Komuro said. When discussing music production plans with Shinichi Iwahashi, he once made such a statement.
It doesn’t matter whether these words are suspected of being unreasonable. But what is certain is that Tetsuya Komuro’s words are indeed inspiring.
It would be nice to have singing skills, but if you don't have them, it's not necessarily a huge flaw.
This is how the recording industry has always been.
At the beginning, those who could be selected to be singers were those with outstanding singing ability. Later, those who could become singers might have only average singing skills, but they were beautiful, handsome, and charming.
This cannot be said to be a kind of degeneration, it can only be said to be a certain necessity as the times move forward.
In the beginning, it was an era when both material and spiritual resources were poor, so the glamorous stars in front of the stage were as far away as gods on the clouds. Later, in the period of rapid development, the society with a middle class of 100 million became rich in both material and spiritual things. Big stars who are out of reach appear on TV every day and show their service smiles to the audience.
The era of pursuing entertainment has arrived, and handsome, charming celebrities are popular. There is a sense of distance between them and the audience, and at the same time, there is an obvious sense that they come from the same background as the audience. .
It turns out that celebrities are also ordinary people.
Next, perhaps, not being handsome enough will have a different kind of charm, being out of tune may become popular, and the mavericks will be regarded as heroes... Everything is possible. Times change, the hearts of the public change, and what you once believed in is no longer the case. Believe, what you once doubted is accepted as the truth, so the way of becoming popular and creating popular also changes accordingly.
However, regardless of the times and fashion, as far as the Japanese music industry is concerned, Tetsuya Komuro's music is an unquestionable innovation.
For a long time, or in other words, since the "music industry" began to exist in Japan, both the music industry and the audience have believed that the creative characteristics of Japanese music, and what Japanese musicians are good at, are It lies in the low range.
But Tetsuya Komuro's music abandons this long-held "truth".
