Shinohara Ryoko's new single was promoted by Sony and GENZO. Both parties worked together, and for a while, this single was everywhere in the streets and alleys of Tokyo.
In the midst of such public attention, on January 15th, the single "Love, Heartache, Strongness" (Love, Heartache, Strongness) released under the name "Ryoko Shinohara with Tetsuya Komuro" was officially released on the shelves
.
On the first day the single was released, there was a long queue outside the record store.
It is quite rare to queue up for a record. But now that Tetsuya Komuro has become a fashion, queuing up for his single and buying it as soon as possible is already an act of catching up with the trend.
Attention from all over the world gathered at the same time as this single was released. The unknown little idol’s songs resounded throughout the streets and alleys overnight, and he was known to every Japanese. The single was released
That week, it undoubtedly won the championship, selling 240,000 copies. With such strong momentum, it seemed that it was no problem to win the championship again in the second week.
"Ryoko-chan is so handsome!"
"Ryoko-chan has a great figure and looks very tall!"
Young people who like to follow trends jumped into this new star-chasing activity without hesitation. When Ryoko Shinohara appeared on a TV show and the magazine in which she appeared was released, everyone praised this little idol who suddenly became famous.
.
Whether it is appearance or temperament, Shinohara Ryoko is quite outstanding.
When she had a masterpiece thanks to Tetsuya Komuro's work and gained public attention, it was actually expected that she would be so sought after.
In the second week after the single was released, Ryoko Shinohara and Tetsuya Komuro appeared on a music program together.
A dashing and talented man, with a gorgeous beauty beside him. This combination is very topical and eye-catching. After this public appearance, the response from the audience became even more enthusiastic.
Thanks to the success of her single, Shinohara Ryoko was flooded with job offers. In addition to invitations to music shows, variety shows, and TV series, all kinds of job opportunities were piling up on her agent's list.
Every artist who suddenly becomes popular has to go through this kind of job bombing. These job opportunities that come to her give Shinohara Ryoko a real feeling of "popularity". These job opportunities given to Shinohara Ryoko, these are from
The show where she participates on her own without Tetsuya Komuro appearing is the stage that truly belongs to her.
When Shinohara Ryoko and Komuro Tetsuya participated in the show together, in front of the camera, Shinohara Ryoko often had a humble and reserved attitude, but Komuro Tetsuya talked eloquently all the time, exuding the temperament of "knowing that he is suave".
However, in the show where only Ryoko Shinohara herself appeared, the chosen Cinderella shone brightly.
…
This January, the collaboration between Ryoko Shinohara and Tetsuya Komuro has become an unshakable topic.
And when all the attention of the world is directed towards the collaboration between this talented pair and the beautiful woman, GENZO will slowly recycle the promotional resources that were focused on this single and begin to lay out a new round of single promotion.
With Sony's help and the current popularity of this duo, even if the promotion is reduced, "Love, Heartache, Strength" will definitely still be a hit. In the second week of the single's release, the single was expected to
Among them, he won the second championship and the monthly championship for the entire month of January.
This single by Ryoko Shinohara is even more popular than TRF’s previous singles.
And this is precisely the manifestation of Tetsuya Komuro's appeal reaching a new stage.
With the current momentum, if no strong challenger appears, it will not be a problem for this single to win the third weekly championship. However, in the fourth week, ZARD's new single "Don't Want", which Shinichi Iwahashi has high hopes for, will
"Admit Defeat" is about to be released.
After withdrawing their promotional resources, at the end of January, GENZO went all out to promote ZARD's new single.
The original plan was that "Don't Give Up" would be released around January 20th. However, singers from the same company cannot kill each other. After the release date of Shinohara Ryoko's single was finalized, ZARD's single
The release date was also adjusted accordingly and was scheduled on the last day of January.
The beginning of a year means change and progress.
Because of this, I chose to release this support single at the beginning of the year.
The outlook for the new year is bleak. The past year was bad enough. But the new year that followed was even more miserable.
The young people who will graduate and find employment this year have already felt the chill all over their bodies before they officially enter the society.
This generation of young people who are about to enter society were born in an era of rapid development with a middle class of 100 million people. During their boyhood, Japan was developing at a miraculous speed, becoming the number one country in the world.
Throne. When they began to have more concrete imaginations about the future, the world entered the bubble era of luxury and luxury.
Young boys and girls, just like admiring the expensive luxury goods through the window, see the rich and colorful world of adults, full of opportunities, and look forward to and firmly believe that one day they will enter such a world.
Young people have seen how their older generation has made great achievements in the booming economy and lived a carefree life in a world of wealth and luxury. They have all kinds of longings for the future. However, just when they finally have the opportunity to enter this world.
When the world is qualified, everything collapses.
What awaits them are the ruins after the collapse of the building, a society with no hope, a strong gap, and an era of illusions with only afterimages left in their hearts.
…
After the New Year's Day holiday ended and they returned to their daily routines at work, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe met several times at the company's meetings and also attended the New Year's kickoff reception together.
However, at the beginning of the new year, both of them were busy and rushed to see each other, leaving little time to chat.
As January comes to an end, I have the opportunity to sit down and chat.
In this first month, she was busy with Watanabe Productions and her own office, and submitted a TV series proposal to the TV production department of Fuji TV.
Unlike Kenyin's aggressive money-spending tactics when producing "Lovely Season", Watanabe Manyumi adopted a gentler approach when she planned to participate in the production of TV series.
Submit the proposal first, and then discuss specific cooperation after the TV station is interested.
Affected by the recession, companies continued to reduce advertising funds, and the life of TV stations became increasingly difficult. Iwahashi Shinichi listened to Watanabe Manyumi talking about her recent trends, and joked with her, "TV stations also have to experience the difficulty of switching from luxury to frugality.
"
Watanabe Manyumi laughed and replied, "As long as the TV station remains a monopoly, it will not really face difficulties."
This sentence is true.
The clerk brought tea, and Shinichi Iwahashi waited for her to step away before speaking again: "The recording industry has spotted the emptiness of television stations and wants to participate in the television industry. The same goes for the other way around. Television stations will not be uninterested in the record market."
Therefore, if you want to cooperate happily with the TV station, you must consider how to let the TV station also benefit from the record market. From this point of view, GENZO has a natural advantage in participating in the TV industry.
The two chatted about business matters for a while, and Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly mentioned: "The marriage between Miyazawa Rie and Takanohana has been decided." He looked at Watanabe Wan Yumi, looked at her expression, and said, "I can't imagine that you are
How to deal with Photon-san."
Watanabe Manyumi smiled and answered him: "It's just human nature."
This is what Shinichi Iwahashi once said.
However, when she said this, Shinichi Iwahashi did not realize that Watanabe Wan Yumi was actually sarcastic at him.
Watanabe Manyumi's witticism did not come true, but she did not take it seriously. She commented on Iwahashi Shinichi: "Takanohana is the second son of the family. She has grown up under the love and protection of her family since she was a child. She has amazing sumo wrestling talent.
, focused solely on the world of sumo wrestling... In other words, he lacks the ability to deal with things other than sumo wrestling."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought thoughtfully, "Miyazawa Rie is not a good sumo house wife."
"The sumo wrestling house values the wife's family background, and Takanohana's family actually despises Miyazawa Rie. However, although sumo wrestling is a national sport, it has not received much attention in recent years." Watanabe Manyumi said.
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "Marrying a celebrity wife brings with it a certain amount of attention."
The young couple were determined to get married. However, for the relatives of both parties, the marriage was weighed on the scales before they finally gave up.
However, for Miyazawa Rie, even if she is separated from her mother Mitsuko, the new family she is marrying into is a new shackles.
When Iwahashi Shin thought of this, he said to Watanabe Manyumi: "This marriage probably won't last long."
Watanabe Manyumi teased him, "Is it the judgment of a married person?"
"It's better to spare me." Iwahashi Shinichi surrendered without a fight. He explained, "It doesn't matter whether it's Mitsuko or the Sumo family. They all want Miyazawa Rie to give up herself and be manipulated by others."
"However, she separated from her mother to find herself." Watanabe Manyumi replied.
She actually knew it well. However, since Iwahashi Shinichi revealed the matter, she let him continue.
Shinichi Iwahashi sighed, "Have the courage to leave the life of the past twenty years and pursue yourself. In the end, it's just a change of environment, a change of methods, and giving up yourself again."
This doll, which has been manipulated by her mother since she was a child, makes people feel sympathy for her.
However, since Rie Miyazawa can break away from her mother and find herself this time, then there is still the possibility of finding herself again in the future.
Watanabe Manyumi took a fancy to this "possibility", so she was willing to serve as Miyazawa Rie's protector.
Shinichi Iwahashi guessed the reason for Watanabe Wanyumi's actions, and he knew in his heart what kind of talent she had.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Watanabe Wan Yumi was going to meet the producer of Fuji TV. Counting the time, she stood up and left. Shinichi Iwahashi walked her to the elevator.
In the corridor outside the office, there is a new poster. ZARD's single "Don't Give Up".
Watanabe Manyumi's eyes paused on this promotional poster for a moment and asked: "How was the response to the trial record that was sent out?"
Iwahashi Shinichi replied: "The feedback is quite good, and I am very confident about this single."
He acts cautiously and rarely makes such assertions. Listening to these words, Watanabe Manyumi also became full of confidence in this new single.
ZARD is one of the most popular bands now, and this single is an old song by Oda Tetsuro. From the perspective of collaboration, this single is not lacking in topicality. In terms of music, Oda Tetsuro’s songs are among the most popular.
It has become widely popular in the past two years and is a taste that the public has become accustomed to and is loved by the public.
Kamai Sachiko's lyrics give meaning to this piece of music.
Outside Shinichi Iwahashi's office, there was a poster of "Don't Give Up", but there was no poster of "Love, Heartache, Strength".
In his view, the collaboration between Ryoko Shinohara and Tetsuya Komuro is part of a grand star-making plan.
However, "Don't Give Up" released by ZARD has a significance that transcends the times.
Watanabe Manyumi and Iwahashi Shinichi expressed their thoughts on the song "Don't Give Up", "Support songs are born every year, but this one by Sachiko-chan sounds particularly inspiring."
She paused and organized her words, "I think the brilliance of this song lies in 'Being With You'."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said: "As expected of Wanyumi-san."
Watanabe Wan Yumi was a little unhappy, "Are you being sarcastic?"
"How is that possible?" Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "I really think so. Although Wan Yumi-san claims to be a layman who doesn't understand music, he has a very keen sense of music."
Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled, did not answer, and listened to Iwahashi Shinichi's explanation.
"Sachiko's heart is sharp and delicate, and she has captured the inner uneasiness of the public. Her brilliance is that this song "Don't Give Up" is a song of support, not a song of blessing."
This song "Don't Give Up" is not a distant "Come on!" that has nothing to do with you, but a "Be with you" that always accompanies you.
Today's era is an era of insecurity and lack of hope. In such an era, the older people who have already achieved leaps and bounds cannot provide the younger generation with reference experience, because the era full of opportunities is gone.
return.
Because of this, "I am with you" has become the most valuable attitude.
It's good to win, but it doesn't matter if you lose.
No, as long as you can persist to the end, it is a small victory for you. And I will always accompany you and run with you until you overcome the obstacles and cross the finish line.
For the confused, restless, and exhausted public, words like "Come on" are hollow and helpless, and they are just watching from afar. But "Being with you" provides the public with a sense of peace of mind and is an attitude that can truly soothe the public's soul.
The reason why Iwahashi Shinichi regards this single as the key to GENZO becoming a first-class record company is because of the attitude expressed in this song.
