When she decided to come to Tokyo, Ayumi Hamasaki declared to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I am who I am." Ayako compared her to Namie Amuro, which aroused the rebellious heart in her heart.
However, if she insists on just being herself, why would she always keep her eyes on another person? Hamasaki rebutted Ayako, but she felt her heart sting slightly.
Ayako didn't know what Hamasaki was thinking and laughed loudly: "Ayu is really weird." However, although she was amused by Hamasaki's pretentiousness, she did not dislike Hamasaki's character in her heart.
.
At this time, Ayako suddenly lowered her voice and said to Hamasaki Ayumi: "This Amuro-chan, her producer might be Komuro-san."
Hamasaki's reaction was like hearing a fantasy.
Ayako showed a mysterious smile and said word by word: "This is just hearsay."
Ayako, a young model, has only been around the circle of the entertainment industry and has never really entered this circle. However, she is superstitious about the gossip she hears and does not care about the truth or falsehood, only whether it is sensational.
Ayumi Hamasaki expressed doubts: "GENZO has never launched a girl group."
Ayako said plausibly, "Ryoko-chan isn't a GENZO singer, is she?" She winked at Hamasaki Ayumi, "Ayu-chan, you'll know if you listen to their songs. It's a complete studio style."
"Even so..." Hamasaki Ayumi felt that Ayako's guess was outrageous.
If the producer of SUPER MONKEY'S was Tetsuya Komuro, he would definitely have written the production information on the record. There is no need for someone like Ayako to make the gossip mysterious. But this friend of hers seems to be quite superstitious about conspiracy theories.
Like that, I got addicted to guessing, and even assumed that maybe it was Komuro-san who was hiding his identity as the producer.
The more Ayumi Hamasaki listened, the more outrageous she felt. Seeing her friend's expression of boredom, Ayako finally stopped and changed the topic, "But Ayu-chan is quite concerned about GENZO's affairs, and she knows it so well."
No one knows yet about her relationship with GENZO.
Ayako thought of something and joked: "No wonder the person Ayu-chan wants to meet is Iwahashi-san." She stretched and discussed with Hamasaki: "Let's go play again this Friday."
According to her information, the "MAX-san" who runs the disco often goes to the store on Friday nights. Maybe Tetsuya Komuro will come over on that day to support him. Ayako is eager to give it a try.
"Of course," she looked at Hamasaki: "Maybe Iwahashi-san, whom Ayu-chan wants to meet, will go with Komuro-san."
Ayako may not be dreaming of being a star, but she must be dreaming of meeting big people. The colorful entertainment world, for Ayako, is just to be able to see all the glamorous things.
In Ayako's mouth, the "MAX-san" was also a legendary figure who used his whimsical ideas to create such a disco park. However, Hamasaki had no interest in this person, but he thought in his heart
, I don’t know if Tetsuya Komuro or that “MAX-san” will go, and Shinichi Iwahashi will definitely not go that day.
This Friday, Shinichi Iwahashi is going on a business trip, and the next day, on Friday, Akina Nakamori is also going on location. Assistant Momoi once again has to come as a guardian to take care of the two children and a puppy who are left behind.
…
On Thursday morning, Hamasaki stood in the living room, looking at Shinichi Iwahashi who was holding coffee, and suddenly asked him: "Iwahashi-san, have you ever heard of an artist named Namie Amuro?"
Iwahashi Shinichi raised his eyes and looked at her, "What?"
From the look on his face, it was clear that he had never heard of such a person. Ayumi Hamasaki's sudden curiosity, and she got the answer from his face before she could ask. Not only did she feel a little bored, but she also knew in her heart that in fact, this
It's to be expected.
Thinking of this, she raised her voice and said, "My classmates said that Amuro-chan is very popular recently."
"Is she a girl idol?" Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her with interest, "Ayu also pays attention to her?"
Hamasaki denied: "No interest."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled at her answer, "I don't pay attention, but I remember her name in my heart." He thought for a while and judged: "Since it's not Namie Amuro who impressed you deeply, it's probably something else.
Let me keep it in your mind."
He got to the point with just one sentence. Hamasaki was seen through so easily that he couldn't help but show defensiveness.
"Nothing." Hamasaki Ayumi made up her mind not to let Shinichi Iwahashi guess what she was thinking.
Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to change the subject and told her: "Akina-san and I are going out in the next few days, so you have to be good."
Ayumi Hamasaki spoke sharply: "Is this what you told Xiaoguang?"
...Xiaoguang is much more worry-free than you.
Ayumi Hamasaki also knew the hidden meaning of Iwahashi Shinichi's words. She didn't wait for Iwahashi Shinichi to say anything, and said, "Please don't worry." Without looking back, she left a trail of footsteps.
What are you worried about?
Should I rest assured that she will be well-behaved, or should I rest assured that she will be as misbehaved as Shinichi Iwahashi fears?
Shinichi Iwahashi walked away as he listened to the footsteps. Namie Amuro, whom Hamasaki mentioned, aroused his interest. A new hot topic among teenagers...
On this day, Shinichi Iwahashi arrived at the company and asked the clerk to find relevant information about Namie Amuro.
The document was sent to his desk, and Shinichi Iwahashi discovered that this person was a member of the girl group called SUPER MONKEY'S.
When that girl group debuted, Shinichi Iwahashi paid attention to it because he was a newcomer to VERMILLION Records. However, there was little splash after the group's debut, and he soon forgot about it. Unexpectedly, the girls actually settled down and accumulated a lot of money.
gained popularity.
The group's latest single entered the top ten of the charts for the first time, a huge breakthrough.
This Amuro Namie is the central figure of the group. In addition to the group, she also serves as a model for girls' fashion magazines and has appeared in movies. Many people even only know Amuro Namie and don't know the group behind her. Such an imbalance in popularity between the central members
The combination that has received the overwhelming majority of attention is, to some extent, very eye-catching.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, picked up the phone, and asked the clerk to buy a copy of SUPER MONKEY'S' latest single.
On the cover of the album, these girls from Okinawa show energetic and exaggerated smiles to the camera. The person occupying the center position is Namie Amuro.
A girl with chocolate-colored skin who looks a bit adult. Just looking at the photos, you can feel that there is an invisible wall between her and the other members of the group. Putting such a girl in the group makes her look special.
Somewhat nondescript.
Iwahashi Shinichi pulled out the inner pages of the record, browsed it, and pressed the play button on the record player. The melody sounded, and he couldn't help but think of a name.
Tetsuya Komuro.
It's totally Tetsuya Komuro's style.
Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi soon realized that this was not a piece of music and arrangement composed by Tetsuya Komuro. But if it were presented to ordinary listeners, they might not be able to easily tell the difference between SUPER MONKEY'S and other Komuro singers.
In any case, the style of the group is consciously imitating Tetsuya Komuro's style.
Is it because of this that the popularity started to rise?
Shinichi Iwahashi glanced through the inner pages of the record and saw a familiar name among the production information. The chief producer was Shunichi Baba of VERMILLION Records.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at this name with a thoughtful expression.
