"For musicians, it is a very lucky thing to meet a musician whom you sincerely admire. From this point of view, our Kamaike-san's encounter with Oda-san's album can also be called a
It’s a kind of fate.”
Iwahashi Shinichi and Oda Tetsuro said polite words that were not entirely polite, "If there is a chance, our ZARD can communicate with Oda-san on music, and we will definitely get good results."
"I think so too." Oda Tetsuro responded, "If I have the opportunity, I hope to discuss some music-related things with everyone at ZARD. Maybe it will inspire each of us."
Oda Tetsuro's words were very sincere and were not spoken out of politeness.
Iwahashi Shinichi accepted this agreement for Kamai Sachiko and ZARD, thinking that even bringing together Oda Tetsuro and ZARD to discuss music would be a good thing. After all, music is something like this. The more communication, the more vital it becomes.
.
Since this year, Oda Tetsuro has communicated more with outside musicians than in the past.
To a certain extent, falling out with Nagato Daiyuki and stepping out of the past life of "a thoughtful older brother taking care of a younger brother who was not good at dealing with trivial matters" brought many changes to Oda Tetsuro. He had a feeling in his heart.
The exact goal to be achieved made Oda Tetsuro start to think about things that he had not considered in the past.
Such a change is obviously a good thing rather than a bad thing. Whether it is for Oda Tetsuro himself or the outside world.
The good news is that Misa Saeki, whom Oda Tetsuro has been chasing closely, has finally undergone major changes.
Misa Saeki, who worked at a gas station after dropping out of school, gradually began to feel tired of her daily part-time job. Her old friends gradually became alienated from her after she led a boring ordinary life.
In less than a year, Misa Saeki's life has changed drastically. She once had the lofty ideal of "becoming the leader of Kansai's little kid", but now she feels that living as a rebellious little kid is not practical.
It's downright boring.
The bad girl in the family finally changed her ways. Misa Saeki's family members were very grateful and began to think of ways to persuade her to go back to school.
Misa Saeki is a businessman in her hometown. Of course, what her family hopes is that she can inherit the family business.
However, for Misa Saeki, as soon as she heard her family talking, she couldn't wait, covered her ears with earphones, and walked out coolly.
At this time, music is her safe haven.
A year ago, Misa Saeki signed up for the audition for a small speaker. After that, her life suddenly became a spiral slide, sliding in a dark tunnel, not knowing where she would be sent.
In a year when so many great changes have taken place in her life, the memory of that audition has become the most peaceful and stable experience. Not only that, she also met a persistent uncle with whom she has been communicating.
When Misa Saeki began to feel confused about her current life and then began to think about the future, she unknowingly had been with her for such a long time and communicated with Oda Tetsuro, which led her to the nearest path in front of her.
road.
Oda Tetsuro waited patiently during this period, and finally waited for the moment when this seed sprouted.
Two weeks ago, Misa Saeki finally took the initiative to call him and agreed to come to Tokyo for two days every week from now until the end of the year to participate in the music training arranged for her by Tetsuro Oda.
Iwahashi Shinichi heard Oda Tetsuro talk about Saeki Misa's progress and was a little curious about this arrangement, "Come to Tokyo for two days every week?"
Since Misa Saeki is already interested in becoming a singer and is tired of her current job at a gas station, then we should negotiate with her and invite her to come to Tokyo for systematic training.
A relatively routine operation.
Oda Tetsuro didn't understand the subtext of Shinichi Iwahashi's question. He explained in a tone of helplessness but more appreciation for Misa Saeki's personality: "She said, raise the threshold of learning a little higher."
, so as not to get it too easily."
"Wouldn't it be very troublesome for Oda-san if we returned and retreated halfway?" Misa Saeki said at that time.
This girl, who has never done anything serious since she was a child, is still a little worried that she is just trying to escape from her current life, so she accepted Oda Tetsuro's invitation. Therefore, she came up with such a special idea.
A way to test yourself.
I work part-time on weekdays and go to Tokyo for training once a week. If I can persist in this, then I will definitely not give up in the future. Misa Saeki has her own theory. This kind of idea of competing with yourself is quite a bit.
Very innocent and cute.
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but smile after hearing Oda Tetsuro's explanation, "It seems that Misa-chan has already fully recognized Oda-san."
It was because she felt in her heart that Tetsuro Oda was a good person who could be trusted, so Misa Saeki was worried about letting him rejoice in vain, for fear that her lack of firmness would bring him trouble.
Although Misa Saeki still felt unconfident in her heart, Shinichi Iwahashi felt that she had already made a decision.
Misa Saeki was discovered by Tetsuro Oda through an audition hosted by GENZO. In turn, GENZO announced that "the newcomer selected by Tetsuro Oda will not be made public for the time being." After that, Shinichi Iwahashi came to visit in person.
I went to communicate with Misa Saeki's family and helped Oda Tetsuro secure the communication with Misa Saeki in the previous period.
In order for her to do this, GENZO also reached an agreement with Misa Saeki. That is: if Misa Saeki debuts as an artist in the future, GENZO will have absolute priority in her management and recording contracts. In other words, she will have the right to sign the contract.
Saeki Misa's priority, and also has Saeki Misa's agency rights to broker contracts.
Therefore, although Misa Saeki is not an artist waiting to debut, she has always been a reserve force for GENZO.
Precisely because of the existence of such a contract, Oda Tetsuro had to regularly report to Shinichi Iwahashi about the progress of Misa Saeki.
Misa Saeki finally began to seriously consider becoming a singer, and Tetsuro Oda was not only happy about this, but also had a sense of expectation that his ambition would be realized.
However, the reality before him is that before he can realize his idea through Misa Saeki, he must first make a decision to end this embarrassing state.
For Misa Saeki's sake, and for his own sake, he must come to a complete end with VERMILLION Records.
Oda Tetsuro was thinking about this in his mind, but he only said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I will be satisfied when Misa-chan is strong enough to debut and serve as her producer."
Iwahashi Shinichi replied without thinking: "She was discovered by Oda-san and a rough stone polished by Oda-san. Of course, Oda-san knows best and is the most qualified on how to make her shine."
Besides Tetsuro Oda, who else could serve as Misa Saeki's producer? And it was precisely because of Misa Saeki's presence that Tetsuro Oda had the motivation to leave VERMILLION Records no matter what.
Shinichi Iwahashi was happy to see Tetsuro Oda’s persistence.
…
After Shinichi Iwahashi was attacked by Hiroshi Takeyama, Ikuo Suho thought of this young man who appeared out of nowhere, and there were only two things on his mind.
From now on, we must find ways to defeat him and prevent his expansion in the industry. At the same time, it is best not to see him again.
It has not been long since the incident occurred, and we need to consider how the BURNING Department will fight against the GENZO Department in the future.
But Ikuo Suho's thought of never seeing Shinichi Iwahashi again came to nothing.
"The younger members of the Kyokudōkai attacked Shinichi Iwahashi. In order to reduce the world's attention to this incident, they had to suppress the relevant news. During this period, they relied on Ikuo Shubo's influence in the media industry."
Now that the "truth" of the facts has been determined to be this, then Ikuo Subo can only hold his nose and cooperate with the acting.
No matter what, it's better than "the person who attacked Shinichi Iwahashi was an ordinary person, Hiroshi Takeyama".
Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to thank Ikuo Suho for helping him in person, but Ikuo Suho wanted to refuse but couldn't.
If it was in the past, Iwahashi Shinichi was just a mere Iwahashi, Shufang Ikuo wouldn't take it seriously at all. Now, if it were to invite him for something else, Shufang Ikuo would still politely refuse.
However, when it comes to this matter, Iwahashi Shinichi's "thank you" is related to the face of the Inagawa Society, so Shufang Ikuo has no choice but to obey.
Shinichi Iwahashi is the brother of Inagawa Yuhiro, and Ikuo Suho is inexplicably a head shorter than him. Although I can't really argue with him about his seniority, Ikuo Suho's status as an industry hegemon is much higher than that of a man who has only emerged in recent years.
It was enough to make him feel uncomfortable when the young boys who came out were treated as equals.
However, since he has somehow become the person who helped Iwahashi Shinichi, he must play the trick to the end.
Ikuo Suho suffered such a loss in the Takeyama Kōji incident. Afterwards, he had some doubts in his mind about Takeyama Kōji's attack on Iwahashi Shinichi, and the fact that Iwahashi Shinichi and Inakawa Kai immediately believed that Takeyama Kōji was a member of the Kyokudō Kai.
People, is there any conspiracy among them?
After Iwahashi Shinichi was attacked, within a few days, the Inagawa Kai and the Sumiyoshi Kai joined forces and annexed the Kyokutō Kai. Looking at it later, it seems that Takeyama Hiroshi accidentally bumped into him and succeeded in the Inagawa Kai.
plan of.
However, it was this point that made Zhou Fangyuxiong feel strange.
In this matter, is Takeyama Hiroshi accidentally caught up in this plan, or is Iwahashi Shinichi aware of the existence of this person and anticipating Takeyama Hiroshi's actions?
The thoughtful calculation shown by Shinichi Iwahashi made Ikuo Shubo feel that he should be more cautious when it comes to major events, instead of being almost attacked by someone who rushed up when he was unprepared, and then temporarily decided to arrange such an identity for him
.
What's more, since Inakawa is planning such a big thing, he shouldn't rely on a coincidence.
But if the truth is that everything is under the control of Shinichi Iwahashi, how did he know about the existence of Hiroshi Takeyama?
Ikuo Suho wanted to figure out what happened to put himself in such an embarrassing situation. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a fog in front of him. Shinichi Iwahashi in the fog seemed even more mysterious.
Measurement.
Not only that, if Iwahashi Shinichi really knew about Takeyama Hiroshi early on, either he had outstanding intelligence capabilities, or that freelance reporter Miyata took both sides.
Ikuo Suho thought of the freelance reporter Miyata. After the news of the attack on Shinichi Iwahashi came out, BURNING cut off contact with Miyata. After that, Miyata was very sensible and never appeared again.
At this point, everything can no longer be investigated.
Ikuo Suho couldn't guess how much Shinichi Iwahashi knew, but fortunately, the matter has been settled, and no one, no matter who they are, can bring up the past again. There is only one thing that Ikuo Suho knows: I must treat Iwahashi with caution.
Hashi Shinichi.
This young man is more difficult to deal with than imagined.
After receiving the invitation from Shinichi Iwahashi, Ikuo Suho accepted the invitation to this banquet. On the official day, he happily went to the appointment. Accompanying him was one of his right-hand men, Norio Higuchi.
…
Hideo Fuyuda once joked with Shinichi Iwahashi that if he and Ikuo Suho were at the same table, he should ask Ikuo Suho to pour him a glass of wine first.
Of course, you definitely can't do this when you're sitting at the same table as Ikuo Suho.
In this meeting where he hosted a banquet for Shu Fang Ikuo, it was obvious that the identities of the two people were the heads of two different companies.
For this banquet, a waitress invited from a high-end club in Ginza will be responsible for pouring wine during the banquet.
Shinichi Iwahashi had no intention of getting into trouble with Ikuo Suho on the stage, so Ikuo Su went along with the situation and chatted and laughed with him.
"Previously, thank you for your help, Su Fang-san." After the warm but polite greetings, Iwahashi Shinichi finally thanked Su Fang-san in person.
Zhou Fangyu said with a smile, "It is natural that such things should not be the focus of attention."
"Iwahashi-san," Ikuo Shufang paused, but continued calmly, "...it would be too polite to express my gratitude."
Ikuo Suho is more than 20 years older than Iwahashi Shinichi, so he naturally feels uncomfortable speaking politely to him at this moment.
If it was more than twenty years ago, Zhou Fangyuxiong would still be able to bend and stretch. However, after being at the top for so many years, it is inevitable that he will become narrow-minded. Even if Zhou Fangyuxiong is quite powerful, he still feels awkward about it.
However, once you get used to the existence of a person like Shinichi Iwahashi in the industry, you will naturally stop being like this.
Norio Higuchi, who came with Ikuo Suho, stayed with me during the banquet. He performed his duties conscientiously and was very polite in his words and deeds. He not only shared Ikuo Suho's worries, but also maintained the necessary etiquette towards Shinichi Iwahashi.
Higuchi Norio behaved politely and distantly, and Iwahashi Shinichi only occasionally paid him some attention, but that was all.
Iwahashi Shinichi never thought that Higuchi Norio's subtle reminder at that time was out of good intentions. Of course, he still has no idea of Higuchi Norio's purpose.
But although the person who took the initiative was Higuchi Norio, the person who took the initiative was himself.
