Now, all the people living in this home are musicians.
Iwahashi Shinichi announced this matter as if it was a joke. It was so casual that it gave Hamasaki a subtle sense of disbelief.
Is it that simple?
One is a famous producer, and the other is Taopusda, who holds the pinnacle jewel in the music industry in the palm of his hand.
Of course, these two people are musicians. Utada Hikaru, who has released home records and is very comfortable in the recording studio at a young age, can also be called a musician.
Now, Shinichi Iwahashi’s announcement has brought Ayumi Hamasaki into this category.
But Hamasaki couldn't understand whether this was because Shinichi Iwahashi had high hopes for herself, or because the music in Shinichi Iwahashi's eyes was not something as tense as her determination to come to Tokyo to sing for him.
That day, Hamasaki was pushed by Shinichi Iwahashi's joke and sang for the first time for her favorite Akina-san.
When she heard her own voice in the headphones, she realized that no matter who she sang for, the first audience was herself. No matter whether the person opposite was Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori, or an audience she had never imagined.
.
It's like tossing a coin high, no matter it lands heads or tails. The act of singing is the act of tossing the coin itself.
After Shinichi Iwahashi told her about the magic of words, Ayumi Hamasaki faced the matter of "writing lyrics" for the first time. Everything that happened in these days was being accumulated into words little by little.
When she started trying to write lyrics and agreed with Shinichi Iwahashi's theory of word magic, she already understood that music is about putting yourself first. Being an actor is something that requires selflessness.
Ayumi Hamasaki recalled the declaration he made when he came to Tokyo and found Shinichi Iwahashi: "I am who I am."
These days of entanglement, confusion, rebellion and confrontation, when the tide recedes, she is still herself.
Iwahashi Shinichi said that all the people living at home were musicians, and the past seemed to be wiped out in this sentence. He did not say this for this reason, but Hamasaki felt this way.
For the first time in her life, a girl experienced such wonderful tolerance.
…
Now all the people living in this home are musicians.
Ayumi Hamasaki was thinking a lot about this sentence, while Nakamori Akina and Utada Hikaru's reaction was much simpler. However, Shinichi Iwahashi's personality, even if it was just a joke at the time, he could do something unexpectedly for a joke later.
What's more, asking Hamasaki Ayumi to sing for Akina Nakamori was not a spur of the moment thing.
This girl once told Iwahashi Shinichi that he might not be able to be her producer. Iwahashi Shinichi heard her words and did not regard them as the rebellious words of a girl.
When one is born, there are two. After singing in the recording studio at home for the first time, Iwahashi Shinichi would occasionally encourage the three women at home to sing together.
Akina Nakamori is very free now and is happily taking her two children to play in the recording studio.
After dinner that day, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly asked: "Does Ayu want to record a record?"
"What?"
His tone sounded like a joke to Hamasaki, "After all, all the people living in my house are musicians."
The girl looked like she had been teased, but she was not angry.
Iwahashi Shinichi then discussed with Hikaru Utada, "It's been a long time since Hikaru last recorded a record, so let's record another home record."
Utada Hikaru thought about it seriously: "What kind of record do you want to record?"
Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Akina Nakamori.
As soon as he raised the topic, Nakamori Akina listened with interest. Iwahashi Shinichi asked her: "What kind of record do you want to record?"
"Me?" Nakamori Akina was stunned by his question.
Iwahashi Shin nodded: "If you have a singer, you must also have a producer."
"Is there anyone more suitable to be a producer than Shinichi?"
"Maybe." Shinichi Iwahashi said seriously, "I can't be this producer."
When Ayumi Hamasaki heard this, her ears turned red, remembering the bold words she had said to him. But even so, although she was ashamed of what she had said, she did not regret it.
Akina Nakamori was amused by his speech. She began to find it very interesting, "Shall we make a record?" When she asked this question, her eyes fell on Hamasaki Ayumi and Utada Hikaru, as if she was soliciting the two
The girl's consent.
First he sang for Akina-san, and then he asked Akina-san to be his producer.
Ayumi Hamasaki felt like she was being lured here. She couldn't control her growing curiosity. She was both curious about what Iwahashi-san thought of her speech and how Akina-san thought of her as a singer.
Utada Hikaru suddenly asked: "Are the singers just me and Ayu-chan?"
The Iwahashi family's home record recording plan started with a joke and ended with Utada Hikari's question.
…
At the end of October, Tetsuya Komuro finally returned from New York. This time he returned to Tokyo for Tomomi Hanahara's debut. At the end of this year, the highlight reserved for GENZO was Tomomi Hanahara's official debut.
The debut budget prepared for this Cinderella exceeded 100 million yen, and a release plan of five singles and two albums was prepared from the beginning. Tetsuya Komuro will follow her and personally accompany her on TV shows to complete the project.
A gorgeous debut that spans the year.
The move is to push this Cinderella to the throne of superstar in one fell swoop.
The more gorgeous something is, the clearer the traces of wear and tear will be. However, the more easily something is worn, the more dazzling it will be the moment it is born, and its beauty will be incomparable.
When Tetsuya Komuro introduced Tomomi Hanahara to Shinichi Iwahashi, Shinichi Iwahashi looked at this young, superficial woman and had such an association.
A newcomer with such a temperament must not be tested. The most suitable thing is to debut in the world in such a sensational way. Therefore, without Tetsuya Komuro saying anything, Iwahashi Shinichi has already determined the momentum of her debut.
On this point, he coincided with Tetsuya Komuro, and after making the same considerations, he implemented his long-standing attitude and supported Tetsuya Komuro.
And just when GENZO cooperated with Tetsuya Komuro to devote all their efforts to Tomomi Hanahara's debut, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly had the idea of releasing an album for the two girl groups living at home, and started planning seriously.
.
He is the co-ordinating producer, and Akina Nakamori is the music producer. This is the first time she is responsible for music other than her own records. Plus, with two girls living at home, it is a complete family record.
Tomomi Hanahara is preparing to make a grand debut, and Tetsuya Komuro steals the show in front of the stage. Shinichi Iwahashi is accompanying his wife and their two children at home, playing a warm game like home records.
From the perspective of others, it seems very unprofessional.
And as the Christmas period, which every record company must compete for, is approaching, there is a singer who has been planning for a long time and is preparing to make the most crucial shot.
