In the past few years, they were all orthodox idols, with styles including cute, handsome, and Sekusi.
Later, there were amateur idols represented by the Kitty Club. Amateur idols can be subdivided into styles such as little girls, good girls, and those who look innocent but sing "Banana's Tears".
Such strange lyrics... This fat young man Yasushi Akimoto is very bad.
In addition to these, there are two more powerful ones.
One is Matsuda Seiko, who is destined to become a legend. After getting married and having a baby, he made a lightning comeback. He went against the tradition of the entertainment industry since Momoe Yukazu, and showed by his own example that "I can still beat the newcomers after giving birth to a baby."
For this reason, the Japanese, who are full of nicknames and skills, even specially coined a word for her called "Malama", which means "mom idol".
The other one is Chen Meiling, the original tiger tooth idol brought back from Hong Kong by Watanabe Productions in the 1970s.
It was previously said that she tied the knot with her agent Kaneko Riki of Watanabe Productions and both quit the agency to start their own business. Then not long ago, Chen Meiling, who had just given birth to her first child, was criticized by a magazine for taking her child to a TV station with a nanny.
She either goes home to take care of her children, or she doesn't let her children come to work.
Working at a TV station is different from ordinary work. Sometimes I go there at seven in the morning and my turn doesn't come until ten o'clock. I spend most of the time on standby, so I don't have to leave my work to others while I take care of my children.
Because of this, Chen Meiling couldn't understand the requirement to choose one of the two, so she started fighting with the magazine.
At that time, the "Equal Employment Opportunities Law for Men and Women" was about to be promulgated. Chen Meiling's protest just hit a core issue: Where should women who have given birth to children go in the workplace?
This controversy has raged for a long time, and just like that, Chen Meiling suddenly became a representative of equal rights, defining what an idol is in another sense.
By the way, one thing that TBS TV station is proud of is that 100% of their female staff members return to work after giving birth to their children. The TV station also has a special kindergarten for them to put their children.
I have to say that the idols of the older generation are awesome and can make a big deal out of anything they do.
Of course, an idol who can do great things again after making waves is himself an idol among idols.
Judging from the current situation, it can be said that there are all kinds of idols on the market. Warner Pioneer wants to change the policy of producing newcomers and introduce unique newcomers. This idea is not bad.
The current solo market is not very good, and the road for female soloists is even more difficult. It is understandable that Warner Pioneer does not want to be a tough guy.
However, in order to please others, the positioning of this "powerful idol" that was finally considered was very unsatisfactory.
Although Chisato Moritaka knows several musical instruments and showed off her keyboard skills during performances, fundamentally speaking, the production of songs is still entirely handled by professionals, from lyrics and music to production, even the costumes are all decided by others.
At the same time, there was a talented actress Misato Watanabe who had just become famous. Her famous work was "Myrevolution".
This song was provided by Tetsuya Komuro of tmwork, which not only made Misato Watanabe famous, but also made Tetsuya Komuro a noticed composer, and the band's popularity and popularity also increased accordingly.
However, this Misato Watanabe not only has a delicate appearance, but also has super powerful singing skills. She can even sing in a baseball stadium. There is nothing wrong with her except for the 50-50 ratio.
And Morigao Qianli's singing skills obviously have nothing to do with being a talented person.
The main focus is on the powerful, but the hard skills are not enough. The instrumental performance can only be said to be the icing on the cake.
Although his soft power is first-class, in order to highlight his so-called strength, he deliberately lowers his appearance and hides his beauty and long legs.
In the end, it turned out to be neither fish nor fowl.
People who like the powerful people think she is an embroidered pillow, and those who like the idol think she is a local girl. This kind of packaging method that is unflattering to both ends is a blessing to Warner Pioneer for coming up with it.
In 1967, Japan implemented its first capital liberalization, opening up some industries and allowing foreign companies to carry out direct investment activities in Japan.
However, because the allowed foreign investment ratio in the recording industry is 50%, there is also "CBS Sony" with Columbia and Sony, and "Warner Pioneer" with Warner, Pioneer and Watanabe Productions.
However, even though it is a subsidiary of Warner Music Group in Japan, despite its famous name, Warner Pioneer's plans for singers are not that brilliant.
This kind of nondescriptness is visible to the naked eye, as a bystander.
The so-called authorities are obsessed with what has happened. Iwahashi Shinichi can see the problems in it, but Warner Pioneer, who is involved in it, may have chosen this approach from several options at the same time and considered it the best.
Shinichi Iwahashi felt that unless Sentaka Senri is allowed to practice in seclusion now until she has the strength to fight alone in the industry before releasing her, the prerequisite is that she still has such strong potential, otherwise, if she really follows this route,
Sooner or later, I have to pack it up and send it directly to my hometown.
Of course, discovering the problem is only basic, the key is how to solve the problem.
…
After watching the videotape, Shinichi Iwahashi thought for a while and first compared the songs in the music library at hand.
Compared to the Western-style music that Masato Nakamura is good at, or the tough rock music that Tatsuya Hirakawa and the others are pursuing, Seiichiro Kuribayashi, who is good at writing AOR, is obviously more in tune with Chisato Moritaka.
Genzo currently does not have its own dedicated lyricist. Yoshida Miwa has not yet written lyrics for songs written by others. Iwahashi Shinichi realizes that there will be many opportunities for her to sing Nakamura Masato's songs in the future, so he is urging her to learn to write lyrics.
Seiichiro Kuribayashi can also write lyrics himself, and every song he teaches comes with a version of the lyrics. Of course, these lyrics may not be used. More often than not, the composer fills in the lyrics to confirm the song.
Kuribayashi Seiichiro's lyrics are commendable, but if they are sung by a female singer, she is still a female singer like Chisato Moritaka, which is somewhat unmatched, and Genzo does not have a lyricist who can replace it, which exposes the shortage of manpower.
The problem of recruiting talents is still an urgent matter.
Although compared to composing, lyrics seem very simple and it seems that anyone can do it, but in fact, it is not easy to write good lyrics. Songs that can be passed down for a long time are good.
Lyrics and good music are indispensable.
Although the lyricist's problem can be solved by hiring external assistance, and you can even take the opportunity to create a topic. However, the production company cannot provide lyrics itself, which is undoubtedly a shortcoming.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi is prepared to use another method to make up for his lack of a lyricist.
