Being able to feel the pulse of the times is precisely because we are in the times.
When Sachiko Kamaiike first debuted and was learning how to master lyrics, Shinichi Iwahashi discovered that she had a gift of insight. Although she didn't quite know what it was, she could express it in her own way.
come out.
Because of this, Shinichi Iwahashi told her early on not to be afraid of the times, and don’t imagine the times as something untouchable. Sachiko Kamaike’s subtle insight and observation of the world from the perspective of ordinary people,
And this confusion after feeling the pulse of the times are her valuable features.
Watanabe Manyumi regards "people in the entertainment industry as responsible for the public" as the principle of conduct, and Iwahashi Shinichi also thinks so.
The times are changing, and only those practitioners who can grasp the hearts of the public and are needed by the public can achieve real victory.
When the bubble bursts, people fall into unrest. On the one hand, the public avoids reality and lets their bodies fall to dance music that requires no thinking. On the other hand, when they are frustrated and feel unsettled, they also look forward to being understood and comforted.
The precious thing about Kamai Sachiko is that she looks at all this as an ordinary person. In Iwahashi Shinichi's view, if you can look at the world from ordinary people's eyes, you can also create works that touch ordinary people.
.
Ordinary has always been valuable.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought about this, but told her, "I don't know the answer to the question either."
Even he couldn't possibly answer Kamaike Sachiko's confusion. Rather, the confusion Kamaike Sachiko feels is not only brought to her by the times, but also what she feels as a person living in the times. It belongs to her.
of.
"However," Iwahashi Shinichi changed the subject, "There is nothing wrong with feeling confused. Only when people realize that they are in the era, can they have the opportunity to figure out what they want in this era. People at this moment are also
What exactly is needed?”
Kamachi Sachiko listened carefully, "What do you want, what do you need..."
Shin Iwahashi stopped talking and didn't say anything more. Some questions can only be answered by yourself. For a person with gifted insight like Sachiko Kamaike, letting her think for herself is better than telling her what to do.
, more appropriate.
Akamatsu Haruko said that everyone is in the same era. Iwahashi Shinichi said that the era is not something that is difficult to touch. Kamai Sachiko vaguely got a clue. Out of intuition, she did not continue.
Keep asking.
The conversation between the two people has come to an end.
At this time, Daikoku Maki had already spotted Shinichi Iwahashi and Sachiko Kamaiike talking in the corner. Seeing the end of the conversation, he walked towards where these two people were standing with great interest.
…
Daikoku Moki has a wide network of contacts within GENZO and is very popular. Among the singers, both male and female, she has her good friends. Even the staff and her backing vocal team, faced with her cheerful and cheerful personality, also have a lot of friends.
Moritomo Rashi, who admires her very much, has a quiet personality, and is good at taking care of others, even loves her like a younger sister.
The number one socialite in GENZO is none other than Daikoku Moki. She has also launched a small group in the company. The specific activities are to have a drink occasionally or play mahjong together.
Thanks to Shinichi Iwahashi who paid close attention to her voice - after all, every concert she held was held in a large venue, and she had very high demands on her voice. Shinichi Iwahashi asked the singer to arrange regular check-ups and care. His attitude made her so
Heimoji also consciously restrained himself and did not play too much.
He has always had his own way of doing things, and he has always respected Shinichi Iwahashi, and listened carefully to his suggestions and requests. Since Shinichi Iwahashi values the singer's voice, Daikoku Moki has the right to not do too much.
Awareness of what disappointed Shinichi Iwahashi.
Daikoku Maki and Kamaike Sachiko also get along well. Within GENZO, the female singer Kamaiike Sachiko has the best relationship with is Okuro Maki.
Compared with the subtle atmosphere that needs no words when getting along with Akamatsu Haruko, Kamaike Sachiko is more lively when she is with Daikoku Maki. In other words, she is pushed by Daikoku Maki's enthusiasm and runs all the way.
.
Daikokumo Kiren is always cheerful and generous in front of Iwahashi Shinichi, "Iwahashi-san! Good evening."
Iwahashi Shinichi accepted this warm greeting that felt like a rush to her face, said a few words to her, and prepared to walk away. However, it was rare that he and Kamaike Sachiko caught Iwahashi Shinichi together.
I plan to just let him go.
With Okuromaki pulling Iwahashi Shinichi to talk about something or other, Kamaike Sachiko became much more comfortable, and her previous restraint also disappeared.
The reason for this is probably because Okuromaki is standing in front of him and he gets along easily with Shinichi Iwahashi.
…
Akamatsu Haruko walked away, and she didn't know where she went at this moment. Kamaike Sachiko and Daikuro Maki sat next to each other, and Iwahashi Shinichi sat opposite them.
In front of Shinichi Iwahashi, Sachiko Kamaike refused to order alcoholic drinks.
Daikoku Maki was talking to Iwahashi Shinichi about what happened the last time he held a birthday party. On that day, Oda Tetsuro also came to the birthday party, and Daikoku Maki introduced him to meet Sachiko Kamaiike.
"Both of them were unexpectedly shy, which made me, caught in the middle, like a matchmaker introducing a blind date." Dai Hei Moji sometimes speaks in a somewhat arrogant way.
When Kamachi Sachiko heard this sentence, her cheeks immediately heated up. She felt it was inappropriate and wanted to argue.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi was not interested in Daikuro Maki's exaggerated speech at all - he even secretly thought to himself, could this exaggerated way of speaking be a kind of humor common in Hokkaido?
I hope Miwa-chan, who is traveling alone abroad at the moment, doesn't suddenly sneeze again and again.
"Moki-chan, you keep talking non-stop. Of course Sachiko and Oda-san will have nothing to say." Iwahashi Shinichi complained.
Kamaike Sachiko couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She raised her eyes and realized later that Iwahashi Shinichi had seen the change in her expression.
"Iwahashi-san favors Sachiko-chan, right?" Daikoku Moki boldly teased the boss.
Shinichi Iwahashi said seriously, "The scales must be balanced."
When it comes to sarcasm, the only one who can win over Shinichi Iwahashi is Watanabe Mayumi. With Daikuro Maki's level, in front of Shinichi Iwahashi, all he can do is admit his defeat and be more honest.
Daikoku Maki is an exaggeration, but when Sachiko Kamaike and Tetsuro Oda met for the first time, both of them were indeed very reserved.
Kamai Sachiko had heard Oda Tetsuro's music and had great respect for his talent. She and Okuro Maki praised Oda Tetsuro's music. Okuro Maki took it to heart and tried every means to introduce Oda Tetsuro to her.
I met a composer I admired for the first time. He was not the kind of person to talk to. Of course, he was reserved.
On the other hand, Oda Tetsuro is not the kind of person who is good at accepting compliments from others in person.
Listening to Daikuro Maki's description, Iwahashi Shinichi understood the scene of that first meeting very well.
Having said that, due to Daikoku Maki's personality, both Sachiko Kamaiike and Tetsuro Oda know that she is a cheerful and good person. For people who lack understanding of her, they will probably feel a little disgusted with her.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi was a little curious, "Which piece of music by Oda-san does Sachiko like?"
Kamike Sachiko told Iwahashi Shinichi that it was a song called "BREAK OUT". She explained to Iwahashi Shinichi that this song was released four years ago and was included in an album released by a band that Oda Tetsuro participated in forming.
song.
Four years ago, Nagato Daiyuki was still at the helm of BEING, and Oda Tetsuro went all out to support BEING.
Daikuro Moki was responsible for supplementing the work. At that time, Oda Tetsuro formed a band with several musicians from BEING. They held music activities from time to time and also released several singles through the record company that had a production contract with BEING at the time.
, and an album.
This band had no success at all and only sold a few hundred copies of its released works. Although at that time, Oda Tetsuro, as a composer, had successfully provided some best-selling songs for TUBE, he himself was not as popular as this one.
This kind of thing is irrelevant.
After the band ceased activities, several of the songs released by the band were later re-arranged and rewritten, and were given to other singers to sing.
This practice is very common in the industry. The only difference is that some songs are already popular by the original creators, while some songs are sung by the original creators and no one cares about them, and then they are dug out and used after many years.
Kamai Sachiko was able to dig out such an unknown album, and also praised it after listening to it. For Oda Tetsuro, although he looked reserved and cold on his face, he must be very happy in his heart.
In other words, it was because I was happy and grateful in my heart that I didn’t know how to deal with Sachiko Kamaiike.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt a little strange, "How did Sachiko discover this song?"
Kamai Sachiko replied, "There is a second-hand record store in Asakusa that has a lot of old records, including records by many singers whose names I have never heard of. I think that to become a singer, you should also listen to as much other people's music as possible...
…”
So, when I was searching for old records, I discovered this unknown band that was both familiar and strange at the same time.
Iwahashi Shinichi was curious, "Can you lend me that record to listen to later?"
Of course Kamachi Sachiko would not refuse.
…
Last year, Kamai Sachiko moved. The new apartment was not far from the apartment where Akamatsu Haruko lived. Occasionally, Kamai Sachiko cooked at home and invited Akamatsu Haruko to taste it.
However, generally speaking, Kamaike Sachiko likes a tidy kitchen, but doesn't like making it messy.
Among the three children in the Kamachi family, the younger brother, the only boy, has shown interest in cooking since he was a student. His younger sister, Yumiko, even frowned when she entered the kitchen, hoping to run as far as she could.
.
When GENZO held regular gatherings, the banquets often lasted all night. But halfway through the banquet, after Shinichi Iwahashi left, everyone who came to attend was either preparing to leave, or they discussed with a few people and went to another place to have a glass of flower wine.
Kamai Sachiko and Akamatsu Haruko lived close to each other, and at about the same time, they were preparing to leave the venue together and took the same car along the way.
Daikoku Moki likes liveliness and can't resist drinking and partying. But the new album is in the process of being produced, so he has to restrain himself a little. So when he saw the two people leaving the venue, he joined in the fun and left together.
Although it is so lively, only when you get together do you realize how much you are making yourself uncomfortable.
She and Akamatsu Haruko are not very familiar with each other. Daikoku Moki, who has always been outgoing, thought that it would not be difficult to get along with Akamatsu Haruko, but when he really faced her, Akamatsu Haruko behaved very politely and appropriately, so that Daikoku Moki didn't know what to do.
respond.
If you are too careless, you will look rude. But if you respond politely, it will be too funny. After all, you are still in front of Kamaike Sachiko. You can't talk and laugh with Kamaike Sachiko. When you face Akamatsu Haruko, you immediately put on a mask.
.
Almost everyone in the record company knows that Akamatsu Haruko is a eldest lady. Okuro Maki runs a food company in her hometown in Sapporo, and her background is not bad. However, it is completely different from this kind of real eldest lady.
...Such a person can actually deal with the industry on a regular basis.
Ordinarily, someone who can achieve great results in an industry like the entertainment industry that requires frequent interaction with people will not be a difficult person to get along with.
But for some reason, Daikoku Maki didn't know what to say to Akamatsu Haruko when he was facing her. Perhaps it was because Kamai Sachiko was present, so Daikoku Maki couldn't grasp the degree of getting along with her.
GENZO's number one socialite, in front of Akamatsu Haruko, didn't know what to do.
Kamaike Sachiko was somewhat aware of it, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. However, a good friend and another friend were unfamiliar with each other, and Kamaike Sachiko, who was caught in the middle, unknowingly played the role of building a communication bridge. To a certain extent, it was quite
It was like that time when Daikuro Maki introduced her to Oda Tetsuro.
"Iwahashi-san is also interested in the song Sachiko-chan mentioned." Speaking of this, Daikuro Moki finally felt a lot more at ease.
Kamachi Sachiko nodded, "Iwahashi-san is very good at listening to other people's opinions."
After hearing the two of them talking about the music, Akamatsu Haruko was also a little curious. However, she had no intention of interrupting the conversation between the two, and just listened quietly.
"Sachiko-chan likes that song very much, right?" Daikoku Maki said.
Kamai Sachiko thought for a moment, "What Oda-san wanted to make was a personalized song. But when I listened to it for the first time, I thought it was a very exciting melody."
"So that's what you think." Daikuro Moki was in a hot mood. He helped introduce Oda Tetsuro and told Shinichi Iwahashi about it, but he forgot to ask Kamai Sachiko why he liked that piece of music.
.
"Actually," Sachiko Kamaiike was a little embarrassed and explained to Daikuro Maki, "I just started thinking about why I like that piece of music not long ago. At the beginning, I just simply thought it was a good piece of music."
Dai Heimoji expressed his understanding, "That's it."
In fact, it was when she was talking about this song with Shinichi Iwahashi that she really started to think about "why".
