The rainy season has passed, and this summer will be hotter than in previous years.
In the hot summer, discotheques are packed every night, and TRF's popularity remains high. Since their debut, the group has dominated Japan's nightclubs and spread this popularity to the streets through disco.
As early as the end of spring, Shinichi Iwahashi proposed a plan to release three singles consecutively in July and August at a meeting attended by Tetsuya Komuro.
Firstly, it is to seize the popularity of the group to a higher level, and secondly, it is also to use the momentum of the continuous release of singles to build momentum for the Wangan Plaza disco convention at the end of August.
At this time, there is still one month before the disco convention at the end of August, and the first single of TRF's three-single series plan is released as scheduled. The single comes with a promotional leaflet for the disco convention. In addition, the single
The TV commercials and street promotions are also linked to the disco show next month.
The entire three-song promotion plan is highly tied to the promotion of the disco conference. On the one hand, the single is released to expand the attention of the concert. On the other hand, the attention to the concert is transformed into
Single support.
When it comes to building momentum for large-scale events, Iwahashi Shinichi can be said to be "a little experienced" without being too modest.
Shinichi Iwahashi gave the production rights to Tetsuya Komuro, and he was only responsible for advising on the singer's album release plan and did not interfere with the singer's specific production. For Tetsuya Komuro, a conceited producer, "monopolizing power" is extremely necessary
.
Shinichi Iwahashi satisfies his ego of being the one with the most power, Tetsuya Komuro is very satisfied with this sincerity, and the cooperation between the two parties is quite harmonious.
…
The first of TRF’s three-shot plan, the single became a hit upon release. As a popular group, it goes without saying that TRF is currently selling well. Coupled with the promotion tied to large-scale performances, it has attracted the public to buy it.
.
Iwahashi Shinichi intended to promote Komuro Tetsuya as a brand. While TRF's singles were selling like hotcakes, he did not forget to actively contact TV stations for Komuro Tetsuya and arrange suitable programs.
Tetsuya Komuro is certainly experienced when it comes to appearing on TV, but today, he wants to continue to appear as a music producer and move towards the direction of "star producer" and "new pop pioneer".
With the support of record companies and the success of TRF, Tetsuya Komuro is also willing to be in the limelight. Coupled with his accumulation during the TM NETWORK period, and the talent's handsome appearance, this new producer suddenly became very popular.
With the topic brought by the popular group TRF and Tetsuya Komuro's constant public appearances, the disco convention at Wangan Plaza suddenly became one of the most important and anticipated shows of this summer. Fifty-five thousand tickets were sold in the two hours on the day of the ticket opening.
Within a few seconds, it was sold out.
In this era of relying on telephone and offline bookings, the speed of ticket sales is an absolute miracle.
But that alone is still not enough.
When Shinichi Iwahashi took the lead in organizing the first large-scale music festival that did not limit the gender of the band, he used a method: in addition to the music festival site, branch venues were also set up in several major cities across the country to enhance the grandeur of the music festival.
Broadcast and invite local underground bands to perform at the broadcast location.
Having tried it for the first time, Shinichi Iwahashi and GENZO have already experienced this. This time, at this disco convention, they repeated their old tricks and also broadcast them in branch venues in several big cities. And in
When the first music festival was held, a branch venue was set up in Xiangjiang. This time, we also contacted Xiangjiang.
This super large performance is expected to have about 200,000 spectators, watching or participating in different ways.
After such a performance, Shinichi Iwahashi believed that Tetsuya Komuro's era would officially arrive. Next, it was time to cooperate with Tetsuya Komuro and continuously launch "Komuro-style" singers.
Of course, in line with the principle that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, while fully supporting Tetsuya Komuro in establishing the "Komuro system", Shinichi Iwahashi will not slow down the pace of discovering bands, but will also work harder to discover songwriters.
If Tetsuya Komuro provides music and the model of singers only singing can be successful and continue, when the public gets used to this model, it means that since the era of idols has declined, singers and composers have begun to occupy the mainstream.
, will also stop for the time being and return to the past model of songwriters providing music and singers singing.
For a situation that has not yet arrived, but will come sooner or later, it is necessary to prepare and accumulate early.
Today, GENZO has broken away from a small workshop and can be regarded as more or less a mid-level record company. But to continue to move forward and expand its strength, more accumulation is needed.
On the other hand, GENZO, which can be considered a medium-sized record company, now has the confidence and capital to prepare and accumulate for possible future popularity.
There is nothing new in the entertainment industry. Just as the popularity of fashion is a cycle, so is the popularity of the record industry. From idols to bands to singers, from gorgeous to simple to individual, from fancy to powerful, the cycle continues over and over again.
When Iwahashi Shinichi decided to enter the entertainment industry to promote Miwa-chan, he had confidence that "sooner or later" the band era would come.
At this moment, he is also convinced that "sooner or later", the idol era will make a comeback.
Everything that was once popular and fell out of fashion will come back again.
…
There is never a shortage of talented people in Japan's entertainment industry.
In the recording industry, talented songwriters are rare but not scarce.
The genius composer Oda Tetsuro was at his peak when "Let's Dance" became a hit and the collaboration between Daikoku Moki and WANDS was a great success. After that, WANDS sang a large number of Oda Tetsuro's songs, which made him very popular.
Soaring into the sky. However, Oda Tetsuro's output of works is extremely inconsistent with his status as a "genius composer".
Nowadays, the trend of "Let's Dance" has faded away. WANDS has opened up the situation by singing songs composed by Oda Tetsuro, and its popularity is overwhelming. After the band became popular, the members began to put forward conditions and request to sing more songs composed by themselves.
TRF became a huge hit and the composer with great momentum was replaced by Tetsuya Komuro.
Just when Tetsuya Komuro was in the limelight, Tetsuro Oda's contract with VERMILLION Records finally entered the countdown to its end.
After Shinichi Iwahashi discussed with Ikuo Suho, Ikuo Suho, out of interest considerations, communicated with Daiko Nagato and signaled him to let Oda Tetsuro go.
Nagato Daiyuki was tricked by Iwahashi Shinichi again, and he was furious, but he could do nothing.
This naughty boy didn't even bother to talk to VERMILLION Records and discussed it directly with Ikuo Suho. From the time Daikokumoki sang Oda Tetsuro's songs to now promoting Oda Tetsuro's independence, he has never had any dealings with VERMILLION.
It was precisely because of this that Nagato Daiyuki felt even more unhappy with Iwahashi Shinichi.
It would be better to have a fight with Shinichi Iwahashi than to not even be able to see his face, but suffer the loss of being mute in his few words.
However, now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, I have no choice but to hold my nose and endure it. Iwahashi Shinichi has done all the good things, but Nagato Daiyuki does not want to let himself get a bad reputation when it is irreversible.
What's more, he is now very high-spirited, has several best-selling bands in his hands, and is firmly seated as the president of VERMILLION Records. Junichi Baba, who used to be jealous and jealous of him, has now lost all his arrogance and is trying his best to reduce his presence in the company.
Today, Nagato Daiyuki no longer feels that Oda Tetsuro is indispensable.
After all, Oda Tetsuro and Nagato Daiyuki had a ten-year collaboration when they were at BEING.
Although many things happened later, now, Nagato Daiyuki let go, and Oda Tetsuro is about to regain his freedom. On one side, he is helpless, and on the other side, he is relaxed physically and mentally. During the final period of handling the contract, the two parties are getting along harmoniously for the first time in a long time, more or less.
A little bit, it's a bit like the relationship between the elder brother and the younger brother in the BEING era.
However, the rift cannot be restored to its original state. At this moment, the relationship between the elder brother and the younger brother is nothing but an illusion.
When they came back to their senses, both parties knew that the end of the contract had not only failed to bring the relationship between the two back to the harmonious past, but had actually confirmed the matter of "parting ways".
Nagato Daiyuki felt in his heart that Shufang Ikuo was fooled by that naughty boy Iwahashi Shinichi, so he would listen to that guy and let Oda Tetsuro leave. But now that Iwahashi Shinichi and Shufang Ikuo are on equal terms, these words take turns.
He didn't want to say anything. And Shufang Ikuo, who was used to being the hegemon in the entertainment industry, couldn't allow others to accuse him of being fooled.
…
After coming out to entertain Ikuo Suho, thanking him for his help in the attack, and mentioning Oda Tetsuro by the way, Iwahashi Shinichi stopped paying attention to the matter, let alone contacted Oda Tetsuro.
Afterwards, VERMILLION Records let go, and Oda Tetsuro entered the final stage before the contract was terminated. He was cutting and negotiating with VERMILLION Records on the various copyrights of the songs he had written over the years. Regarding these matters, Iwahashi Shinichi was still negotiating with Da
Heimoji heard what she said when we met.
Daikuro Moki knows little about complicated things like contract termination and copyright, and has no interest in understanding them in depth. I really can’t tell whether it’s out of trust in Shinichi Iwahashi or because she is such a big-hearted person.
However, if you actually run a record company, you will know that although these singers are undoubtedly talented, they are often confused about copyright ownership.
Fortunately, the copyright system is perfect, and as a creator, you can never lose the few copyrights you must obtain.
Of course, even if the artist knows all about these things, when signing a contract, he has to face the reality that even the right to use his name will be taken away by the company. There will be trouble with the agency or record company.
There are countless celebrity artists who broke up on bad terms and therefore lost the right to use their names and had to change their names and start over.
If the stage name and real name are the same, you may even have to fight a long human rights infringement lawsuit with the original company in order to be able to use your real name freely.
Today, Iwahashi Shinichi and Daikuro Moki met to attend her song selection meeting. After the song selection meeting, the others left, and the two of them chatted for a while in the small conference room.
Shinichi Iwahashi has always insisted on maintaining communication with his singers. As for Daikuro Moki, a singer who joined GENZO just for him and has full trust in him, the relationship between the two is even better.
Iwahashi Shinichi heard Daikuro Maki talk about the progress of Oda Tetsuro's contract termination, and his reaction was dull, "Oda-san is going to have a harder time these days." He made up his mind and would never interfere with Oda Tetsuro's contract termination.
, without even saying a word.
Daikuro Moki nodded repeatedly, "Listening to what Oda-san said, I realized how difficult it is to terminate the contract - just listening to it makes my head spin." As she said this, she thought that the person in front of her was her boss.
, stopped the topic.
Even if she has no intention of terminating the contract, it is obviously inappropriate to complain to her boss about the difficulty of terminating the contract. Now, Daikoku Moki is finally no longer the one who even told Shinichi Iwahashi about people from other record companies poaching her.
Innocent girl.
Such a performance will definitely not escape the eyes of Shinichi Iwahashi. Daikuro Maki's personality is not only cheerful, but also quite simple. However, compared with when she first signed the contract, she is actually a lot more stable now, although she has a cheerful personality
Still the same, but no longer like before, he said everything to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Shinichi Iwahashi noticed that she was trying hard to stop the topic, but he didn't comment on it.
Daikuro Maki then imagined what happened after Oda Tetsuro regained his freedom, "...Oda-san is no longer a member of VERMILLION Records, so it will become easier to cooperate with him."
Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Do you still want to cooperate with Oda-san?"
"There are no such plans at the moment, and there will be no such plans for some time in the future." She answered quickly, "I just want to be a singer-songwriter and sing the songs I wrote."
Okuro Maki is a person who is very confident in her own talent and very independent in music. However, she mentioned another name, "Sachiko-chan admires Oda-san very much."
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but laugh and said to her, "You were the one who introduced Sachiko and Oda-san to each other."
Daikuro Moki stretched out and rolled up the music sheet in front of him into a tube. "Although Sachiko-chan looks easy to talk to, she is actually a stubborn and independent person. If she has any ideas, she will definitely do it."
Find a way to make it happen.”
Shinichi Iwahashi thinks so too.
He was thinking in his mind that since Oda Tetsuro has entered into the process of terminating the contract, there must be an explanation for Misa Saeki's ownership. If it weren't for Misa Saeki's appearance, this talented composer might not be as determined as he is now.
Determination. Because of this, Saeki Misa's ownership is crucial.
With Misa Saeki as a bridge, after Oda Tetsuro has taken care of everything, he will definitely take the initiative to contact us.
Once Oda Tetsuro left VERMILLION Records, Shin Iwahashi would no longer regard him as just a friend or a composer with a unique personality.
