Before the official performance, Matsuura Katsuto had to go to Wangan Plaza to confirm the progress.
Inviting nearly 60,000 people to celebrate together, and simultaneously broadcasting it across the country, this production plan was extremely brilliant in Matsuura Katsuto's eyes.
To be honest, such a grand performance has also appeared in Matsuura Katsuto's imagination and dreams. Although it is really far away for him.
At present, in the recording industry, the only person who can come up with such a plan is Iwahashi Shinichi. Although other companies and other people may not have thought of such an idea, only Iwahashi Shinichi, when he had the idea,
, you can start taking action.
The reason why people like Tetsuya Komuro are willing to move closer to Shinichi Iwahashi is because they are inspired by this kind of action.
From the band's era to the present, GENZO, as a pioneer, has accumulated so much wealth. It has cooperated with an entertainment agency to establish a production company, and it plans to invest in TV series. A few days ago, Matsuura Katsuto read the newspaper and also read
Iwahashi Shinichi plans to enter the real estate industry.
The founder of GENZO has made great strides in the past two years. However, as a fellow record industry practitioner, Katsuto Matsuura thinks of GENZO’s performance since its establishment and feels that Shinichi Iwahashi’s steps can be called conservative.
Yes.
Although Matsuura Katsuto mentally denied Komuro Tetsuya's suggestion that he seek refuge with Iwahashi Shinichi, he also recognized Iwahashi Shinichi's talent and courage. When Matsuura Katsuto arrived at Wangan Plaza, he learned that Iwahashi Shinichi had also arrived today.
After arriving at the scene, I immediately decided to take the initiative to say hello to Shinichi Iwahashi.
"Iwahashi-san." Matsuura Katsuto put a smile on his face and looked like a capable salesman. In fact, in terms of age, Matsuura Katsuto is only two years older than Iwahashi Shinichi.
Iwahashi Shinichi has a steady appearance and looks a few years older than his actual age. Sometimes when he is with people of a similar age, he makes them seem younger than himself. However, when he is with Matsuura Katsuto, he still looks the same.
It is Katsuto Matsuura who is older.
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded slightly and greeted him, "Long time no see, Matsuura-san."
Matsuura Katsuto was first introduced by Tetsuya Komuro, and when he met Iwahashi Shinichi, he didn't pay much attention to this young man. After that, he naturally put the past relationship into the back of his mind. Although
He is quite conceited at heart, but Matsuura Katsuto also knows that he is actually the inferior in front of Iwahashi Shinichi.
It was not his turn to say that they had met before.
When attending a previous meeting of the executive committee, Matsuura Katsuto had met Shinichi Iwahashi from afar. But at that time, Shinichi Iwahashi did not pay him any attention.
Matsuura Katsuto guessed that Iwahashi Shinichi probably didn't intend to have anything to do with him.
I had already had this idea in my mind. At this moment, Iwahashi Shinichi greeted him and said, "Long time no see." Matsuura Katsuto couldn't help but be startled.
Iwahashi Shinichi saw his reaction at this moment and joked: "Matsuura-san, don't you remember meeting me?"
Matsuura Katsuto immediately denied it and replied with a smile: "How could such an impressive person like Iwahashi-san forget meeting you."
Iwahashi Shinichi showed a polite expression, but did not show humility in words. He continued Matsuura Katsuto's words and mentioned: "Thanks to Matsuura-san for joining this time. Matsuura-san's keen vision for electronic dance music has also made him
I'm impressed."
Hearing him mention this matter, Matsuura Katsuto's face was reserved, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He doesn't know when an opportunity in life will come, nor how he will miss it. However, for him, perhaps that opportunity in life has not come yet, so it cannot be said to be lost.
Tetsuya Komuro suggested that Matsuura Katsuto seek refuge with Iwahashi Shinichi. Matsuura Katsuto was curious whether there was any intention from Iwahashi Shinichi in this. However, during this meeting, Iwahashi Shinichi did not mention a single word about it.
This Iwahashi-san would especially say "Long time no see" and never forgot the meeting with him. But during the preparation of this performance, even if we sat in the same conference room with him, there was never much contact.
Take a look at him.
Matsuura Katsuto could not guess the inner thoughts of Iwahashi Shinichi at all, let alone what Iwahashi Shinichi's attitude was.
When dealing with such a slippery person, I fell into his rhythm without even realizing it.
…
Since Shinichi Iwahashi had met Matsuura Katsuto, he took the opportunity to confirm the progress of the stage with him. However, when the stage director came over, he went along with the flow and said goodbye to Matsuura Katsuto, without saying anything to this Aibex
·The person in charge of DD would like to have an in-depth exchange of ideas.
Regarding this Matsuura Katsuto, Iwahashi Shinichi just wanted to keep a close distance from him for the time being.
Matsuura Katsuto is quite good at judging the future of electronic dance music, and he and Komuro Tetsuya have the same goal. Because of this, Komuro Tetsuya hopes that Matsuura Katsuto joins GENZO.
But Komuro Tetsuya's calculation in his mind was that if he could win over Matsuura Katsuto's Aibex DD and merge it into GENZO, then he would have a handy helper and be able to strengthen himself.
Shinichi Iwahashi knew exactly what Tetsuya Komuro had in mind.
Although this talented man is talented and belongs to the first class of genius, and he is also quite arrogant, his whole person has nothing to do with words such as aloofness. His eyes only look up and not down, and he knows the importance of having a big tree at his back.
Sex, so even though I have similar ideas to Matsuura Katsuto when it comes to electronic dance music, I will never cooperate with an unfounded head of a small record company.
Although Komuro Tetsuya would not tell the truth, Iwahashi Shinichi knew it clearly. With Komuro Tetsuya's personality, when he and Matsuura Katsuto had close contacts, he must have considered another big tree. Of course, this
There is no need to pursue things. What is important is always the present.
However, for Iwahashi Shinichi, he knew this matter well in order to view Matsuura Katsuto more objectively.
Komuro Tetsuya didn't think much of Matsuura Katsuto in the first place. Since the original cooperation failed to take place in the end, today, he is going smoothly, but Matsuura Katsuto is reluctant. In this way, Komuro Tetsuya naturally reveals his personality.
.
The more proud this romantic talent is, the easier it is to get carried away. Just like a peacock with its wings spread, although it is beautiful, it cannot be seen from behind.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi stood behind him and watched with cold eyes, clearly seeing Komuro Tetsuya's little abacus and Komuro Tetsuya's personality.
Shinichi Iwahashi was non-committal about Tetsuya Komuro's suggestion of attracting Ai Bex DD. During the preparations for the Wangan Plaza performance, he knew that Katsuto Matsuura was invited to help, but he always pretended not to know that this was happening and did not
Are you planning to have some contact with Matsuura Katsuto?
However, on the other hand, Shinichi Iwahashi is not opposed to the relationship between Tetsuya Komuro and Katsuto Matsuura.
Tetsuya Komuro and Katsuto Matsuura, two people with similar backgrounds and similar preferences for electronic dance music. They are both conceited people, but one is suave and the other is described as vulgar. They obviously hate each other, but because of these "similar" things
Things will be connected to each other.
But when the two started their own careers and finally could see each other, Tetsuya Komuro once again made plans to get together with Katsuto Matsuura.
From this point of view, rather than saying that these two people hate each other but trying to maintain a superficial relationship, it is better to say that the reason why these two people hate each other is because they both want to conquer the other and make the other bow to them.
idea.
As a bystander, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but find the relationship between these two people interesting.
He waited and watched.
…
He walked into the phone booth and opened his coin purse. Hamasaki looked at the phone card in the coin purse and finally took a fifty yen coin.
The phone card was carried in a coin purse and brought to Tokyo with him from Fukuoka. When he came to Tokyo for the first time, or in other words, the first time he left Fukuoka, Hamasaki didn't know that a phone card he brought with him from Fukuoka.
Can it be used in Tokyo?
The timidity she felt when she first arrived made her unwilling to try something she had never tried before. On the other hand, it was her strong self-esteem that made her unwilling to take a hit when she decided to do such a big thing.
She browsed through the various phone numbers posted in the phone booth, found the information desk, and punched in the numbers.
"Hello."
When the call was connected, Hamasaki took a deep breath and said, "Please help me find the address of GENZO Records."
The easiest way to go to President Sang's company is definitely to hail a taxi. However, for a girl under fourteen years old who is short of money, the easiest way is often the cheapest.
Unrealistic method.
In a sense, you have to complicate an easy thing in order to get a chance to get closer. This reality of having to do more is the cruelty of youth.
Ayumi Hamasaki carefully wrote down the transfer route, put down the phone, and clenched his fist as if holding something in his hand. But immediately he let go of his hand as if he was worried that he would break it if he squeezed it too hard.
.
Palms will sweat in summer, and if you don't expose your palms, the writing on your palms will soon be lost.
Outside the phone booth, there were several unceremonious knocks. A middle-aged office man who had been queuing outside for a long time urged while wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
Hamasaki quickly opened the door and walked out. Almost at the same time, the man squeezed into the phone booth and closed the door.
At the end of August, although autumn has already begun, the autumn tiger is approaching fiercely.
…
The carriage was a little deserted in the afternoon. Ayumi Hamasaki successfully found a seat by the window. He propped up his elbows and looked out the window, his body swaying slightly to the rhythm of the train's swing.
When she heard the address of GENZO Records in the inquiry station newspaper, Hamasaki felt a little familiar. Only then did she realize that it was very similar to the address on the business card that Shinichi Iwahashi left for her.
In fact, until she started taking the bus and heading towards GENZO Records according to the transfer route told to her by the information desk, Hamasaki had not figured out why she did this.
At first, she didn’t want to go find that Watanabe-san. But in the end, her inner rejection of “finding that Watanabe-san” became the driving force that pushed her into the phone booth to ask for the address of GENZO Records.
Now, Hamasaki doesn't know why he went to GENZO Records, but he knows that Watanabe-san and the president-san are neighbors.
I wonder what kind of person that Watanabe-san is?
When Ayumi Hamasaki began to approach Shinichi Iwahashi, he had time to be curious about Watanabe-san. Such a repeated mentality is not unsubtle.
Now thinking of Shinichi Iwahashi, Hamasaki's image of the president-san is still very clear in her mind. However, as long as she thinks about it for a moment, she will find that the reason why his image is clear is because in the past few years,
I always have the opportunity to see him on TV or in newspapers and magazines.
Hamasaki Ayumi then knew that the president-san was even more remarkable now, and that the president-san was married to her favorite Akina-san.
My favorite Akina-san is marrying someone she also knows.
In Hamasaki Ayumi's heart, because of that meeting with Shinichi Iwahashi, when he saw the news of Akina-san's marriage announcement, he had the feeling that "it's not an unrelated matter."
The image of Shinichi Iwahashi is still very clear in my heart, but it is actually an image from the media. As for the memory of that only meeting, part of it has long been blurred, and the other part has been continuously strengthened. In the end, only the competitive spirit remains.
Ambition……
When Ayumi Hamasaki finally found the location of GENZO Records, she suddenly felt helpless and punched the air.
The inner rejection of not wanting to find Watanabe-san made Hamasaki want to find Shinichi Iwahashi no matter what. However, this unreasonable action finally came to Shinichi Iwahashi's record company.
, and it’s finally time to face reality.
In fact, "I don't want to find that Watanabe-san" is just her own wishful thinking.
That Watanabe-san wouldn't know that someone like her existed.
It was not so much her rejection of going to see that Watanabe-san that pushed Hamasaki to find Shinichi Iwahashi. It would be better to say that from the very beginning, in her heart, she just wanted to see Shinichi Iwahashi.
This president from Tokyo was Hamasaki's original imagination of Tokyo. It takes courage to get close to one's inner imagination.
To get close means to break.
After arriving at the location of GENZO Records, Hamasaki belatedly realized that behind this wishful thinking, he needed to personally break his own imagination.
However, after realizing his wishful thinking, Hamasaki gained strength again.
Talk about wishful thinking... Why do you have to be led by that president Sang all the time!
Once he realized that he was at a disadvantage, he immediately mustered up a burst of energy that he didn't know where it came from. Hamasaki was stubborn by nature and refused to admit defeat. The more powerless he was, the more he felt the urge to win back.
The competitiveness of the game.
The feeling of powerlessness just now disappeared. Hamasaki looked at her palms. In her palms, the transfer route she had just written down had turned into a black ink stain.
She walked towards the building where GENZO Records was located.
