At a celebration where the boss is present, everyone is restrained. However, the young men who shot Ran Q are not very relaxed in front of Okada Yukiko.
Iwahashi Shinichi served as a host for Okada Yukiko and invited these young people to dinner. They were about to make their debut and had the opportunity to meet the big boss of the record company. These young people, who were half optimists and half unconfident, were very excited about this celebration.
It will be unexpectedly expected.
…
After not seeing each other for a summer, Okada Yukiko tanned herself to a very southern look. Iwahashi Shinichi made an appointment to meet her at a cafe near Yoyogi. When he saw her new look, he couldn't help laughing.
Okada Yukiko was a little embarrassed, holding her face in her hands, and asked him: "Iwahashi-san, do you think it's weird?"
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head and said to her, "Akina also said before that she planned to tan herself to a dark tan." He looked at Okada Yukiko, imagined Nakamori Akina with the same skin color, and thought to himself.
, probably like a little monkey.
However, Okada Yukiko's eyes lit up and she looked longingly, "If it's Akina-san, she will definitely be a good match."
When it comes to loyal fans, Okada Yukiko is definitely one of them.
However, no matter how much Shinichi Iwahashi denounced, after hearing that Akina Nakamori also wanted to tan herself, Yukiko Okada seemed to have received support. Her embarrassment just now faded away and she showed a little bit of pride.
Looking at her sunny smile and dark skin, they immediately match each other.
Nakamori Akina and Okada Yukiko worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't just sit back and enjoy the meal. After the meal, he cut the cake he brought back and served it, and made tea.
If an independent record company wants to develop, in addition to cooperating with well-known independent producers in the industry, it must also focus on cultivating its own producers.
At this time, it had just been three days since Iwahashi Shinichi invited Okada Yukiko and the members of Sheran Q to dinner. The time was short enough, and Okada Yukiko's tanned southern complexion would not change for a while.
.
She said this, as if to confirm her thoughts, she reached out her hand, took Okada Yukiko's hand, and took her arm.
The production of the debut single has been completed, and the style of the band's debut has been decided in the production meeting. Appropriate adjustments will be made later depending on the market's response.
Compared with ZARD's airborne lead singer, or BOLAN's rapid formation, this band has persisted in underground performances for several years with the original team. The members have a good run-in with each other. From this point of view, it is also a rare band.
's band.
He raised his voice and said, "I'm back."
Okada Yukiko thought about it for Nakamori Akina, "But... the wedding will be held soon, so it's better to postpone Akina-san's tanning plan."
Although the husband she married didn't know anything about shrines and the like, and seemed to be a foreigner. However, Akina Nakamori felt from the bottom of her heart that the gods would bless such a husband and his wife.
Under such circumstances, rather than talking about what kind of music they should produce, it would be more appropriate to teach them to become a "mainstream band" earlier. What's more, this is a debut celebration for the band, and Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't want to take this kind of occasion.
Becoming too serious.
The wedding day was approaching, and there were so many people running errands for Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori that they didn't need to worry. At this moment, Akina Nakamori and Yukiko Okada went shopping together, purchasing everything they needed for their honeymoon trip.
Okada Yukiko acted coquettishly with Nakamori Akina, "Does Akina-san think it's strange too?" She didn't even realize it, and just said "yeah" casually, dragging Iwahashi Shinichi into it.
When the bubble was at its peak, the Japanese had money and leisure, and would go on casual trips from time to time. Japanese investors also opened resort hotels in Hawaii. Their tanned skin was exactly the sign of a prosperous life.
, a manifestation of plenty of surplus.
However, for such a band that is so helplessly funny in every aspect and also dressed in gorgeous clothes, this inexplicable band name is unexpectedly suitable and full of memories.
…
There is nothing that can make these young people feel more at ease than the person who brought them to Tokyo in the first place. No matter how successful he is in recent years, he has many talented people under his command, and his attitude toward them remains the same as before.
Iwahashi Shinichi treated them like this, which made the young people in the band feel that even if many years pass, Iwahashi-san will still maintain his usual demeanor and follow him willingly.
At this moment, Okada Yukiko was pulling Nakamori Akina and asking her about the wedding.
The temperature this year is higher than in previous years. It has been so long since autumn, but the lingering power of the autumn tiger is still there.
Besides, this band took the longest time from Shinichi Iwahashi to get the chance to debut.
Sheran Q and BOLAN share the same music producer, and the members of the production team also overlap. Shinichi Iwahashi intends to promote new producers, so he specially arranged this combination.
Regarding this topic, Iwahashi Shinichi neither painted an illusory pie for them nor beat them. He still started from reality and talked about some differences between mainstream debut and underground activities, and encouraged the band to adapt to the new work rhythm as soon as possible.
.
Nakamori Akina, Okada Yukiko, and an inu, Kenta, came to greet him. Such a battle made Shinichi Iwahashi feel a little funny, and he joked, "I'm a little afraid to come in, as if I'm a guest."
After just one or two years, this margin was greatly reduced.
Several young people had great respect for Shinichi Iwahashi, so they were inevitably cautious. But Yukiko Okada was also present, and the atmosphere at the table relaxed a lot. Seeing that she and Shinichi Iwahashi got along like brothers and sisters, the tension in the hearts of the young people was also relieved.
A few points.
Okada Yukiko replied, "It's not surprising...Iwahashi-san also laughed when he saw me."
Having said that, the venue of the reception was chosen at home, and naturally it turned into a situation where Okada Yukiko helped Nakamori Akina cook, and the two of them prepared dinner together and waited for Iwahashi Shinichi to come back.
In the evening, when Shinichi Iwahashi came home, there was joy and laughter in the apartment, and even the spoiled dog did not rush to the entrance to greet him as he did in the past.
Normally, customers shouldn't be asked to help, but with Yukiko Okada's personality, she couldn't sit still even if she was asked to watch.
…
However, whatever Akina Nakamori chooses, the one she chooses has meaning. Iwahashi Shinichi’s thoughts are just enough to accommodate Akina Nakamori’s dream. Whether it was a daydream she had as a child or something she will experience soon.
reality.
Fortunately, we met in a private room, otherwise, the shopkeeper would definitely be nervous.
"Dark skin, doesn't it look warm?" Akina Nakamori thought for a while, "She looks like a Spaniard."
When Nakamori Akina can take action, Okada Yukiko's tanned skin color will change back. Perhaps thinking of this, Okada Yukiko suddenly showed a pity expression.
Okada Yukiko was extremely happy to be recognized as an idol. She was busy rejoicing when Akina Nakamori remembered and asked her, "Is it weird for Shinichi to say that?"
Nakamori Akina smiled and smoothed things over for her husband who was not present, "If you have the same reaction as me, I must think it suits you very well."
Okada Yukiko pursed her lips and smiled at the quarrel between her favorite Iwahashi-san and her favorite Akina-san. As long as she was with Nakamori Akina, Iwahashi Shinichi's calmness and calmness seemed to disappear.
In the evening, Nakamori Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi also agreed to entertain Okada Yukiko together.
"In other words, we are just here to chase away guests." Akina Nakamori took the cake from his hand and smiled back, "Anyway, Yukiko-chan and I accepted the gift."
Although Shinichi Iwahashi personally brought Q from Osaka to Tokyo, after the band came to Beijing, he didn't see them often and rarely went to see their performances. It's hard to say whether distance brings beauty, but Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't often see them
The interactions between these young people made these young people extremely respectful to the big man Iwahashi Shinichi.
As an adult, this dream has not changed.
...Nevertheless, the sight of several fashionably dressed young people bowing deeply to him and saying hello was a bit misleading.
When Iwahashi Shin thought of this, he replied to Okada Yukiko, "Isn't it a good name that can be remembered by the audience at once?"
The two of them went out and went to the celebration party. On the way to the designated location, Okada Yukiko showed her kindness of being happy for other people's good deeds and said, "It's great that everyone in the band can make their debut."
Two friends met after a long absence and went shopping together.
"Moreover," Yukiko Okada thought of something and smiled, "the name of the band has not changed either."
Like Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori's first reaction when seeing her new look was to laugh.
After a round of pushing glasses and changing glasses, the topic finally turned to the band’s debut.
She has not been to Spain yet. From what she learned from magazines and TV, when she imagined Spain, she would think of black hair, light brown skin, and natural and generous enjoyment of light. As for whether this is the case, we have to wait.
Only after you actually go to Spain will you know whether it is true or a distant imagination of foreigners.
In late September, Akina Nakamori's tour moved to Sapporo. After the Sapporo stop, she returned to Tokyo and found time to meet Yukiko Okada after a long absence.
When it comes to wedding matters, Shinichi Iwahashi listens to Nakamori Akina's advice on what kind of ceremony to choose. For him, it makes no difference whether the ceremony is held at a shrine or a church.
Before the show ended, Shinichi Iwahashi ordered the waiter to call taxis for Okada Yukiko and the young men who shot Ran Q. When they came out of the store, several young people in fashionable clothes bowed to him again.
Shinichi Iwahashi had a sincere attitude, just like when he first found them and planned to sign a contract with the band, he analyzed the pros and cons with them frankly, and personally went to Mitsuo Terada's house to help convince Mitsuo Terada's parents.
Sending Haruko Akamatsu to participate in a program with stable ratings, fixed segments, and no plans to revamp it for the time being is naturally overqualified, but only someone like her who can find no faults can make Keiko Fujishima mess up.
When the band performed at LIVEHOUSE, they put up their own promotional posters and got a lot of surprises.
He was so serious that Okada Yukiko really started to find the name Shooting Q funny.
Spain, my favorite, is something I want to save for my wedding trip, so I can go there with my husband. Akina Nakamori has a childish attitude of wanting to save the pudding for last when eating a nutritious lunch.
Whether TOKIO will debut or not is now a matter of which path Kitagawa Kao will choose - such a decision. Iwahashi Shinichi has also made plans early to select a suitable person from the debut of Shooting Ran Q.
Responsible for TOKIO’s debut.
When she was a child, Akina Nakamori's daydreams about weddings were about wearing white clothes, holding a traditional Kami-style wedding, and entering a new life under the witness of the Kami.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the time and took the bill.
These days, his most proud disciple, Akamatsu Haruko, has been assigned by him to be in charge of communication for TOKIO's variety show on NTV. Her already busy schedule is even more packed.
Besides, people like Shinichi Iwahashi, who almost named the band Phoenix Legend, are naturally tolerant of strange names.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed because her words sounded meaningless at first. Indeed, the name "Shooting Ran Q" is really strange.
…
When the band debuted, Iwahashi Shinichi asked his old acquaintance, Masahide Sakuma, who had served as a producer for BOLAN, to be responsible for the music production of Sheran Q. Shinichi Iwahashi himself was still named the chief producer, but he only took on the title of chief executive, most of whom were
The work is handed over to other people in the production team.
This was the first time for Okada Yukiko to go shopping with a newlywed lady, and she found it interesting and insightful.
Okada Yukiko nodded, feeling that the words coming from Nakamori Akina's mouth were extremely credible. When she was happy, she told her, "Iwahashi-san said that Akina-san also plans to tan herself."
In this situation, people who happened to pass by were probably far away and had to lower their heads and move quickly to avoid getting involved in right and wrong.
The young men who shot Ran Q were naturally relieved by Iwahashi Shinichi's frankness.
Nakamori Akina smiled and shook her head, praising her, "It's very suitable. Yukiko's smile is very sunny, and it goes well with her slightly darker skin tone."
However, the time to get the answer is not far away. She and Shinichi Iwahashi have already booked Spain as the destination for their wedding trip.
The gods will bless lovers who sincerely pray for happiness. Regardless of whether this idea may seem silly to others, Akina Nakamori believes it from the bottom of her heart, and does not just regard the ceremony in front of the gods as a wedding.
a process.
Iwahashi Shinichi walked over with a tray with cakes and tea, and heard Okada Yukiko saying to Nakamori Akina, "When going to a Kami-style wedding, shouldn't it be more solemn and put on a kimono?"
"...However, the last time I wore a kimono to a wedding, I was still a child. So, is it better to be more solemn in a normal way?"
As she spoke, she wrinkled her nose slightly and smiled.
Akina Nakamori also laughed, "No matter what, Yukiko-chan can be there, that's the most important thing."
