Before Hamasaki entered junior high school, he signed a contract with his current firm. The first phase of the contract will end next fall.
Local entertainment agencies have always had their own connections in Tokyo. Hamasaki Ayumi's agency even plans to expand its business in Tokyo and recommend its artists to Tokyo through business support.
Ayumi Hamasaki knew early on that if she wanted to realize her dream, she had to go to Tokyo. The president of the firm, Big Speaker, was also very generous to her. As long as things went well, he would help introduce her to the firm in Tokyo.
"It would be even smoother if Ayu-chan's performance in "Twin Teachers" can get the attention of the producers!"
The president of Big Speaker is fully looking forward to the opportunity for Ayumi Hamasaki to appear in a regular TV series in Tokyo. Early next month, Ayumi Hamasaki will go to Tokyo to participate in the filming. At that time, the agency will still send guardians to follow him as it did last time.
.
…
Regarding Tokyo, even if it only appears in memories, it is still so dazzling. In Hamasaki Ayumi's heart, he still carefully collects everything that happened when he went to Tokyo for the first time in his life during the summer vacation last year.
In the past, she had longed for Tokyo, but lacked a more specific vision. But after the last time, everything was completely different.
After taking a bath, Hamasaki returned to the room. After passing the living room, everything was quiet. Grandma had gone back to sleep. It seemed that her mother Akiko would stay up all night.
When she went upstairs, for a moment, Hamasaki had the illusion that she was living alone. But when she opened the door gently, the illusion disappeared for a moment.
He sat down in front of the desk. There were several popular shoujo comics on the table. Hamasaki opened the drawer and found a business card.
That president in Tokyo, Sang, is no longer the "president" long ago.
Ayumi Hamasaki didn’t understand what the change of title meant, but when the world mentioned GENZO records, everyone still defaulted to it as Iwahashi-san’s GENZO. Sometimes I saw GENZO singers appearing on TV programs, and it was just a funny thing.
, he said, "How is our Iwahashi-san?" It seems that the change of title did not have much impact on him.
However, even though he knew that Shinichi Iwahashi was no longer the president, when Hamasaki thought of him, he still stubbornly called him "President-san" in his heart.
Until now, I have never sung a song for that president Sang.
When I first met President Sang, I clearly showed no interest in becoming a singer in front of him. However, now, I have never sung for Shinichi Iwahashi.
Something happened, but I don’t know why, it turned into a subtle regret in Hamasaki Ayumi’s heart.
It was because Iwahashi Shinichi had never heard her sing before, which made her feel that her wish had not been fulfilled. Therefore, when she went to Tokyo last time, she made up her mind and tried every means to find Iwahashi Shinichi.
However, despite having such thoughts, when she met him, she just told him that she was going to star in a TV series.
Hamasaki turned over the business card in his hand, and there was a handwritten map on the back.
I’m going to Tokyo next month, and I don’t know where I’ll stay. If she still stays in the same hotel as last time, she can continue to use the same map to find Shinichi Iwahashi. If she changes the hotel she’s staying in, this is what Shinichi Iwahashi wrote to her.
A map is a map that can only be used once.
Until now, that president Sang has never heard himself sing.
Once again, the time to go to Tokyo is getting closer and closer. In Hamasaki Ayumi's heart, that small fire is still flickering slightly.

Celebration receptions for the two singles "Love, Heartache, Strong" and "Don't Give Up" were held successively. The former was hosted by Sony, and Shinichi Iwahashi attended as an invited relative. Needless to say, the latter
As the organizer, Shen Yi came forward to entertain the related parties present.
At the celebration of "Love, Heartache, Strength", Tetsuya Komuro became the well-deserved protagonist. Whether it was Sony, the organizer, or the invited related parties, they all surrounded this Midas touch producer and flattered Tetsuya Komuro.
He was in the most conspicuous position of the venue, and his whole body shone like a peacock in full bloom.
Although Iwahashi Shinichi was invited to attend, he was very low-key at Sony's reception and treated it as an ordinary social gathering. He watched the wonderful performance surrounding Tetsuya Komuro with great interest.
Shinohara Ryoko herself, led by her manager, greeted the relevant people present one by one. The difference in status between the producer and the singer being produced, the protagonist and the flowers used for decoration, all were explained without words.
Recently, Shinohara Ryoko's popularity has increased greatly, and she can be seen in prime time almost every day. Shinichi Iwahashi knew about this because there was a heavy TV lover in his family.
At the beginning of the new year, Akina Nakamori only booked the production of one single, and also agreed to appear in one episode of Fuji Channel's "Amazing Stories of the World". However, these two most important tasks, the single has just entered the preparation stage for recording.
, it will take a few days for the script of the TV series to be delivered to her.
In addition to preparing for these two jobs, she only shot the covers and inside pages of three magazines during this period, and did not even participate in TV shows. In the years since her debut, she has never been as leisurely as now, so much so that her
Fans also specially called Yanyin to confirm Akina-san's status.
It seems that it will take a year and a half for fans to get used to this Taopu Star who is not working hard.
When Nakamori Akina vividly explained the TV programs she had watched to Iwahashi Shinichi, Iwahashi Shinichi even teased her, "Now, our Akina-san has become someone that the TV station needs to please."
The main viewers of TV programs are housewives and wives. From this point of view, Iwahashi Shinichi’s words are not wrong, but Nakamori Akina happened to catch the topic and counterattacked: "So, Iwahashi-san also wants to please now.
Me?"
Iwahashi Shinichi intends to participate in the television industry. From this point of view, Nakamori Akina’s counterattack is also very reasonable.
Both husband and wife are reasonable people.
Shinohara Ryoko had a supporting role in a TV series starring Nakamori Akina. Now, seeing her becoming famous, Nakamori Akina was happy for her and said with incredible emotion, "The television industry is really a place full of miracles."
indeed.
When Shinohara Ryoko was playing a small role in a TV series and faced the invitation sent by Shinichi Iwahashi to star in a TV short drama, she agreed without hesitation and even acted ugly and evil in the short drama. Little did she know that she would become famous as a singer.
Iwahashi Shinichi also felt that Shinohara Ryoko's sudden rise to fame was somewhat incredible. However, thinking of her determination to not let go of every opportunity, she also felt that Komuro Tetsuya's piece of the pie would fall on her head.
It's not just a coincidence either.
"Iwahashi-san."
Shinohara Ryoko came to Iwahashi Shinichi and said, "I have always been grateful for your care."
Iwahashi Shinichi came back to his senses, looked at the girl who lowered her head in front of him, and politely replied, "Congratulations for achieving such impressive results."
The manager who followed Ryoko Shinohara also lowered his head. At this moment, he straightened up, exchanged greetings with Shinichi Iwahashi, and once again thanked Shinichi Iwahashi on behalf of Ryoko Shinohara.
The person who proposed this cooperation was Tetsuya Komuro, and the person who promoted it was Shinichi Iwahashi.
However, Shinohara Ryoko's thanks were not limited to this single. She took over the manager's words and continued, "I gained a lot of acting experience from the short drama program planned by Iwahashi-san. For those who lack experience,
For me, being able to participate in this show is a very precious opportunity..."
She bowed her head to Shinichi Iwahashi again.
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised. He stared at her and couldn't help but smile, and said to her: "Our Akina-san saw your TV show before and told me that I wanted to congratulate you."
A little shyness appeared on Shinohara Ryoko's face, "I'm so happy to hear this."
The conversation between the two people unconsciously took on a sense of nostalgia. When someone came towards Shinichi Iwahashi, Ryoko Shinohara took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye.
As she walked further away, her manager said to her, "I know Iwahashi-san quite well."
In fact, except for meeting Shinichi Iwahashi a few times from afar, Ryoko Shinohara never even had a chance to talk to him. However, she did not explain her agent’s words. She was mistaken for being with Iwahashi.
Shen Yi is very familiar, which is not a bad thing.
The huge success of "Love, Heartache, Strength" did not give Shinohara Ryoko any unrealistic illusions about "becoming a singer".
It is true that this huge success was brought about by Tetsuya Komuro, but in her opinion, Shinichi Iwahashi is more valuable.
Because Tetsuya Komuro's success is his own success, but Shinichi Iwahashi can achieve others and bring opportunities that truly belong to one person.
…
The celebration reception for "Don't Give Up" was equally grand and grand, with many people from the television industry invited to attend.
The reason for this is that after the release of the single, the popularity of the single soared, and it was quickly used as a promotional song by TV stations and advertisers. At this time, GENZO is either dealing with TV stations or advertising agencies, and the single can have subsequent sales.
The trend is also closely related to the massive publicity that followed.
Sachiko Kamaiike, who wrote the lyrics of the famous song, is undoubtedly one of the protagonists tonight. Although she is very stiff when facing the camera on the stage, she is a person who can work as a pink collar in a real estate agency, so there is no need to worry about social situations.
.What’s more, there are members of the band and “ZARD’s fifth person” Akamatsu Haruko taking charge of the overall situation.
On the other hand, the composer Oda Tetsuro, although he accepted Iwahashi Shinichi's invitation to come, he is introverted and is not very good at dealing with such situations. If he is not careful, he will be led by Iwahashi Shinichi and make a guest appearance.
Consider the situation of his agent.
"Thank you Iwahashi-kun." Oda Tetsuro breathed a sigh of relief.
Iwahashi Shinichi said in a relaxed tone, "Oda-san's 'trouble' was brought about by me after all."
