Gone are the days of running an independent record company from scratch until it reaches the top ranks. The unprecedented prosperity of the record era has begun, but the door to the record industry has been permanently closed to the grassroots.
Shinichi Iwahashi seized the last chance and became the winner.
Today, if Matsuura Katsuto wants to step into the mainstream and show his ambitions as a music producer, he can only join a large company and be willing to be swallowed up. It is precisely because of his unwillingness that he will take another road to victory.
.
The old era has been shattered, and the new era has not yet been fully established. Although the door that was once opened is closed, in this confused era that has lost its direction, there are still various choices that can bring you closer to victory.
It is obvious that this new trend started by Tetsuya Komuro will last for a long time. It is not difficult to draw this conclusion, because it is based on the fact that the public regards Tetsuya Komuro's dance music as a kind of spiritual comfort.
In order for the public to get out of this confusion, they must either completely accept their fate, turn to another kind of life experience, or the times will usher in a new and huge change. Regardless of which possibility is to be realized, it will take a long period of time.
time.
Once upon a time, Matsuura Katsuto and Komuro Tetsuya had the same view, and both believed that electronic dance music would be the world in the future. Now, Komuro Tetsuya left him behind and achieved a new popularity. For Matsuura Katsuto, who is naturally conceited, he almost became
Seizing the opportunity to create the popularity of the times - this thing was like a thorn in his heart, which he could not let go.
When Tetsuya Komuro's electronic dance music took the streets by storm, Katsuto Matsuura decided to set his sights on another nirvana: disco.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi had quite an impression of Matsuura Katsuto, and I couldn't say whether it was good or bad. I just remembered the strange and harmonious atmosphere between this man and Komuro Tetsuya when they appeared together.
To a certain extent, it was Tetsuya Komuro who deepened Shinichi Iwahashi's impression of Katsuto Matsuura.
Last year's performance at Wangan Plaza, Matsuura Katsuto was invited to participate in the production of the concert. Other than that, GENZO has no interaction with this producer.
Therefore, Shinichi Iwahashi was somewhat surprised when he suddenly received a visit appointment from Katsuto Matsuura.
As a friend of Tetsuya Komuro, Katsuto Matsuura bypassed Tetsuya Komuro and directly sent a request for a visit to Shinichi Iwahashi. Shinichi Iwahashi recalled the weird atmosphere between the plastic friends. He hadn't met Katsuto Matsuura yet.
I have become interested in this meeting and want to know what kind of drama he has in mind.
In any case, it is impossible to say that a young man who is interested in deeply cultivating the Eurobeat series of releases and established a record company for this purpose, a music producer who once had the same vision as Tetsuya Komuro, has no ambition.
Matsuura Katsuto had the same listless and thin face as when they met before. Iwahashi Shinichi met him in the small reception room next to the office. The smile on Matsuura Katsuto's face made him look like a somewhat unreliable salesman.
However, when he got straight to the point and talked about the purpose of his trip, the frivolous temperament floating on this man was miraculously swept away. That salesman-like smiling face suddenly seemed full of energy.
Be persuasive.
This change comes from the confidence Matsuura Katsuto shows when he talks.
This young man, who is less than two years older than Shinichi Iwahashi, is full of confidence in the purpose of his trip and the products he wants to "sell".
"Create a new form of disco based on the popularity created by Komuro-san?" Shinichi Iwahashi considered his proposal.
Matsuura Katsuto nodded, "That's right. Iwahashi-san, there will be a long period of time in the era of electronic dance music. Komuro-san's success is thanks to disco, but GENZO only competes with the ordinary people in the world.
By cooperating with disco, we gave up this great opportunity in vain."
Since he had missed the great opportunity of electronic dance music and couldn't wait to gamble on creating a best-selling band by himself, Matsuura Katsuto simply set his sights on the fringes of the record industry.
With Tetsuya Komuro's businessman nature, sooner or later he will realize that he still lacks such a stage. Katsuto Matsuura understands Tetsuya Komuro, and because of this, he has to be the first to win this good card.
Thinking of this, he encouraged Iwahashi Shinichi: "Since we want to create popularity, how can we not have an iconic place?"
Matsuura Katsuto did not forget to promote himself, "Although I have not been able to stand out as a producer so far, I know the charm of electronic dance music better than anyone else, so I am confident that I can create the best disco."
It would be better to say that he was talking too much. But this is what Matsuura Katsuto wanted. Today, if you want to impress the person in front of you, you can only arouse his interest by exaggerating your words.
Matsuura Katsuto spoke firmly, "What Komuro-san created is an unprecedented popularity. So, as the most suitable occasion to play dance music, let's create a Kukai disco that is different from the popular one, and different from the traditional disco.
Isn’t the new disco model promising?... Iwahashi-san, please do consider this matter.”
"I see." Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while and asked, "Since Matsuura-san has such a plan, just go ahead and do it. Anyone can ride on the trend of fashion."
Matsuura Katsuto shook his head, "No, this gust of wind can only fly with the help of Iwahashi-san." When he said this, he revealed the fact that he came to Iwahashi Shinichi to seek cooperation.
Matsuura Katsuto's desire to run a disco is only one aspect. The other side of this coin is that by running a disco, he can connect with Shinichi Iwahashi and seek cooperation with Shinichi Iwahashi.
Between Ikuo Subo's BURNING series and Shinichi Iwahashi's GENZO series, Matsuura Katsuto was determined to choose the latter. The reason is that the GENZO series, which has grasped the pulse of popularity, holds the real future in its hands.
It was because Katsuto Matsuura wanted to become Shinichi Iwahashi's collaborator that he did not hide his ambition. He bypassed Tetsuya Komuro and came directly to Shinichi Iwahashi, which had an obvious intention of confronting Tetsuya Komuro. However,
, his purpose for this meeting was to step on Tetsuya Komuro's shoulders and take a step of his own.
The disco he proposed was not only a disco, but a symbol of "cabin pop". Once this symbol officially exists, it will naturally attract attention from all directions and inject a steady stream of vitality.
Thinking of coming up with such an idea, Matsuura Katsuto should not be underestimated either.
Iwahashi Shinichi not only felt that the relationship between these two plastic friends was worth pondering, but he also had a bit of a bad taste in wanting to gather these two people around him and watch how they performed.
Of course, the real reason for him to consider Matsuura Katsuto's proposal was definitely not to see Matsuura Katsuto and Komuro Tetsuya fight.
However, Matsuura Katsuto was once left behind by Tetsuya Komuro, and now he wants to stand up on Tetsuya Komuro's shoulders. Shinichi Iwahashi thought that if the disco proposed by Katsuto Matsuura really opened with his support, then Komuro
What kind of reaction would Tetsuya have? I couldn't help but feel in my heart that Katsuto Matsuura had an unexpected understanding of Tetsuya Komuro.
He is a person who can make Tetsuya Komuro feel embarrassed but still keep smiling.
When this thought flashed through Iwahashi Shinichi's mind, he was already a little tempted.
