This summer is extremely hot. There is no wind in the evening in Tokyo. People will be sweating after staying outside for a while. In such weather, even puppies regard going for a walk as a routine. They can’t wait to go out for a few steps outside the house.
Want to go back.
However, for people in Tokyo, the more the weather is like this, the less they want to stay at home.
Due to the climate, along with the humidity and heat, there is also a certain sticky melancholy and depression that wraps around the body. This makes the hotter the summer, the more you need to find an outlet to vent.
In addition, the depressed society has injected a kind of decadent, passable atmosphere into the world. Lively activities are the most convenient way to hide yourself among the crowd and gain a sense of security.
Disco is in the limelight this summer, packed out every night, and even the variety shows on TV are noisy. The melody of Tetsuya Komuro's dance music is floating in the streets and alleys. This year's hot summer, just as Iwahashi Shinichi expected, has pushed Tetsuya Komuro's music to the forefront.
It has reached a higher place, further promoted from popular to an unquestionable cultural phenomenon.
This summer, Tetsuya Komuro went to Los Angeles, partly for work and partly to broaden his horizons. The singer and arrangement work for which he was responsible for the production was also moved to Los Angeles.
When the Japanese only regarded him as an idol, Tetsuya Komuro enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars in Japan. Now, he has occupied an important position in the history of pop music, but he does not really care how much the Japanese praise him.
.
Regarding Tetsuya Komuro's whereabouts, Shinichi Iwahashi had always let things slide.
This summer, the team led by Akamatsu Haruko is committed to launching singers with fresh and refreshing styles to inject a different fresh flavor into this hot summer. Listening to too much dance music will inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue, and there are still many scenes that require music other than dance music. Akamatsu Haruko aims
It is this part of the market.
Akamatsu Haruko's strategy was a great success, and Iwahashi Shinichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Not putting eggs in one basket not only means that GENZO can't just rely on Tetsuya Komuro's trump card, but also means that it can't just rely on its strengths.
Put it on the band.
To be versatile, you need a variety of singers. But if you want to cultivate a variety of singers, you need a variety of producers.
In addition to the dance music brought by Tetsuya Komuro, the band that allowed GENZO to gain a foothold in the industry, a new product line has now been developed within the company.
Such Akamatsu Haruko is no longer an ordinary agent, and is capable of taking on important responsibilities in GENZO.
Akamatsu Haruko is Iwahashi Shinichi's unquestionably trustworthy subordinate, a disciple with no status who was taught by him. On the opposite side of her is Matsuura Katsuto, who willingly joins Iwahashi Shinichi in order to realize his ambition. As for Matsuura Katsuto,
Tetsuya Komuro, who has worked with him for so long, has never been associated with the word "subordinate".
For Katsuto Matsuura, at that time, he introduced Ayumi Hamasaki to Shinichi Iwahashi at the disco. This incident certainly brought shame to him, but it also brought him an excellent opportunity by a strange combination of circumstances.
Let his love Bex DD get the support of Shinichi Iwahashi.
After joining Shinichi Iwahashi, the first project submitted by Katsuto Matsuura was to create a band.
It was a band again. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't have high expectations at first, but when he opened Matsuura Katsuto's proposal, his eyes soon became brighter.
What Matsuura Katsuto wants to create is a fashionable and popular band. At first glance, it seems to be similar to ZARD, where Sachiko Kamaike is the lead singer, but what Matsuura Katsuto envisions is softer and more urban music. This
This is a perfect distinction from ZARD’s style.
In any case, Kamai Sachiko is a lyricist who was able to write "Don't Give Up" in such a depressed era.
But the band envisioned by Matsuura Katsuto would never show such a side.
He runs a disco, is at home in Tokyo nightlife, and is used to the weakness of the Japanese. What Matsuura Katsuto hopes to make is music that faces this weakness, completely abandons the old style, and accepts the arrival of the new era and new relationships.
.
And this is a band that Shinichi Iwahashi will not produce.
No matter what kind of finished product Matsuura Katsuto finally served, whether it was a failure or a success, just this idea made Iwahashi Shinichi interested.
Iwahashi Shinichi is not a decision-maker who cannot tolerate failure, provided that this producer understands the era he is in.
After reading Matsuura Katsuto's plan, Iwahashi Shinichi was convinced that this person would be able to do something great. However, when reading Matsuura Katsuto's plan, there were many parts in his imagination that were too caught up with this era, and there was a sense of success.
The subtle smell of defeat here is also here.
Of course, this doesn't mean anything.
There are successes and failures. As long as you can feel "success" at this moment, Iwahashi Shinichi will spare no effort to support you.
…
During the holidays, Iwahashi Shinichi took two girls at home to the recording studio one after another. To be precise, it was the first time that the two girls followed Iwahashi Shinichi to the recording studio together. Before, the two had a tacit understanding.
Reluctant to act together.
Before the summer vacation started, looking at Hamasaki's appearance, Shinichi Iwahashi thought she would go back to Fukuoka for the holidays. But unexpectedly, the girl didn't mention a word about going back to Fukuoka to visit relatives.
She didn't know if she had any friends in Tokyo. During the first few days of vacation, she was often seen busy, but not a word was revealed. However, within a few days, she was reclusive again, helping with housework every day, and even her previous rebellion was gone.
It's hard to guess what she is thinking.
It is certainly a good thing for adolescent children to be well-behaved, but if any big changes suddenly occur, people will inevitably be concerned. The psychology of guardians is sometimes the same as that of rebellious teenagers.
The hearts of girls of this age are full of secrets, and Shinichi Iwahashi had no intention of prying. What surprised him was Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada. The relationship between these two girls had subtly become harmonious at some point.
When he went out in the morning, Shinichi Iwahashi asked Hamasaki if he wanted to go to the recording studio - this was to fulfill the girl's complaint against him a while ago that he would "no longer let her sing".
Now that she has expressed her attitude, Iwahashi Shinichi decided to start by taking her to the recording studio to work.
Before Hamasaki Ayumi could agree, Utada Hikaru also started coaxing him to go with him.
In fact, Ayumi Hamasaki hadn't answered "Go" yet, but as soon as Utada Hikari intervened, the situation became such that both girls followed him to the recording studio.
Utada Hikaru took the initiative to interfere, which surprised Iwahashi Shinichi. Hamasaki chose to acquiesce, which surprised Iwahashi Shinichi even more.
Previously, the relationship between the two girls under the same roof could not be said to be bad, but now it is obvious that the atmosphere between the two has changed slightly.
Although they are not inseparable, it is obvious that there is some harmonious tacit understanding between them——
Sometimes it was a tacit understanding that Hamasaki had no choice but to accommodate Utada Hikaru.
If anything is the reason for this change, the biggest event that has happened to the Iwahashi family recently is the pregnancy of Akina Nakamori.
