After drinking the first glass of wine, I wrote off the incident about "Iwahashi-san is very good at bullying".
Daikuro Maki's bold appearance as he drank a large gulp of beer formed a sharp contrast with the slow and leisurely Kamai Sachiko and Akamatsu Haruko who sipped gently.
Just by looking at the way they drink, it seems that you can get a glimpse of the different personalities of these three girls.
Oda Tetsuro was sitting next to Shinichi Iwahashi. The two hadn't seen each other for a while and started chatting casually.
Regarding the success of "Don't Give Up", Tetsuro Oda found it incredible. He did not expect that an old song that he had written without any success many years ago would be revitalized by another band many years later.
However, he is very open-minded about this, "Different songs, with different singers, will have different sparks."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while and added, "Different songs will have different responses in different eras."
The two sentences were spoken right next to each other, and they sounded like a tongue twister.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Oda Tetsuro realized this one after another and couldn't help laughing. They raised their glasses and clinked a glass. Drinking the cold beer made people feel better.
The three musicians of ZARD got along well with Daikoku Maki. Although Kawazoe Tomohisa was ruthless when he complained, he got along best with Daikoku Maki.
The two girls, Sachiko Kamaike and Haruko Akamatsu, seemed to be drifting between the two groups. They sometimes responded to the lively group, and sometimes turned their attention to Shinichi Iwahashi, who was chatting with Oda Tetsuro.
When I saw Iwahashi Shinichi, I didn't have a chance to say anything to him.
This feeling that the goal was too close but impossible to achieve made Sachiko Kamaiike subconsciously pay attention to every move of Shinichi Iwahashi. Haruko Akamatsu listened attentively, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuro Oda said something like "moving". She tilted her head and looked.
Look at Sachiko Kamaiike.
Iwahashi Shinichi noticed the two girls and raised his glass to them, "You two come together, let's have a drink."
The two girls moved a little towards him and raised their glasses.
When Oda Tetsuro faced Kamai Sachiko and Akamatsu Haruko, his expression suddenly became shy. Iwahashi Shinichi was used to seeing these two girls in couples, and had long been unaware of their beauty. He treated them as if they were respected juniors.
.
...An "uncle's perspective" in another sense.
Iwahashi Shinichi took a sip of wine and said to Kamachi Sachiko: "Congratulations, Sachiko."
After the release of "Don't Give Up", Shinichi Iwahashi congratulated Kamaike Sachiko for the first time. He said it himself, but realized this later and laughed.
Sachiko Kamike lowered her head, "A very incredible thing..."
"I think this is inevitable," Iwahashi Shinichi replied. He withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction of Daikuro Moki and the musicians, "Different eras require different music. Capturing the era
, success is just around the corner.”
"You mentioned the times."
Kamai Sachiko paused, and when she spoke, she realized how abrupt she was, and her face suddenly became warm after drinking.
However, only Haruko Akamatsu, who was sitting next to her, noticed such a subtle change.
Akamatsu Haruko turned her attention to Iwahashi Shinichi, "The person who captured the times is Iwahashi-san." She looked at Iwahashi Shinichi, "It was Iwahashi-san who realized what kind of music could sell well, so he increased the number of orders.
Promotion of the song.”
Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "On the contrary. Only when the band produces music that can sell well will I fully support it."
Akamatsu Haruko suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Kamai Sachiko spoke again. The two had a tacit understanding, as if they had agreed in advance. Of course, this was not the case. She asked Iwahashi Shinichi: "Iwahashi-san, what should the band do next?"
Woolen cloth?"
Iwahashi Shinichi showed an incomprehensible expression.
Kamai Sachiko organized the language, "This song can be so popular precisely because everyone lacks support and strength..."
This popular support song not only encouraged the public, but also burdened Sachiko Kamaike. She seemed to have touched something she shouldn't have touched, and she was temporarily confused.
Iwahashi Shinichi interrupted her, "Don't treat the times as something that cannot be touched. I have said this to you before. Now, I would like to add the second half of the sentence. Even if you accidentally touch the times, you don't need to treat the times.
This feels heavy.”
"Sachiko, you can't be overwhelmed by the support song you wrote, right?" Shinichi Iwahashi smiled.
Kamachi Sachiko's face turned red, as if she had been scolded by him for being too narcissistic.
Seeing her reaction, Shinichi Iwahashi softened his attitude and said to her: "The lyrics of the song "Don't Give Up" can touch people's hearts because the words conveyed in the lyrics are 'I'm with you'
's intention."
"Existence itself is meaningful, and there is no need to think about doing anything in particular. If you act with the idea that you must create something powerful, then what is the difference between shouting to the audience, 'Come on!'
?”
"Don't Give Up" succeeds because it does not output to the audience.
Practitioners in the entertainment industry do have responsibilities to the public. However, when practitioners in the entertainment industry produce something, their first responsibility is to produce excellent works, rather than imagining how to move the audience. As for the performance of the works,
Whether it warms people's hearts or whether it can encourage others is determined by the hearts of the viewers who watch the work.
Similarly, the power that the song "Don't Give Up" brings to the public seems to come from the song, but actually comes from the hearts of the public.
"In short, just continue to make the music you want to make, music with a unique ZARD flavor. The band has many loyal listeners and sticks to its own creative style, which is enough."
When Shinichi Iwahashi said this, he once again raised his glass to Sachiko Kamaichi and said with a smile: "Can you relax now?"
Kamachi Sachiko was a little embarrassed, "I seemed to have made something wrong before."
"This is inevitable, just like a boat sailing in the middle of a lake, and the wind suddenly blows from all directions, it is impossible not to be shaken." Shinichi Iwahashi understood very well.
Akamatsu Haruko said for the first time in a long time: "Iwahashi-san said something very remarkable."
Iwahashi Shinichi was both speechless and amused by what she said. He turned to look for Oda Tetsuro, intending to change the chat partner to alleviate the discomfort at this moment. However, at some point, he was already empty.
With Daikoku Moki as the center, bursts of laughter and laughter could be heard. The three people sitting here, chatting about the times and future creative directions, all turned their attention to that side. Oda Tetsuro did not know when
Be there, smile, and listen to the musicians.
Daikuro Maki waved his hand, "Now, can you return Sachiko-chan and Haruko-chan to us? Iwahashi-san!"
