After selecting the music library, he found Seiichiro Kuribayashi and asked him to listen to Chisato Moritaka's songs. On the premise of understanding her voice and range, he tailor-made a song suitable for her to sing.
"The melody should be as catchy as possible." This was Shinichi Iwahashi's only request to Seiichiro Kuribayashi.
I heard that they were fighting for the production rights for Warner Pioneer's newcomers, and Seiichiro Kuribayashi was very enthusiastic. When he originally decided to join Genzo, he had to make preparations for a long time to realize his dream of debuting as a composer, but he didn't expect that he would get the opportunity right away.
Kuribayashi Seiichiro was very motivated and quickly wrote the song. After Iwahashi Shinichi listened to it, he decided, "This is it."
However, he took off the lyrics provided by Seiichiro Kuribayashi and only kept a sample of the song.
Seiichiro Kuribayashi was a little surprised, but Shinichi Iwahashi gave it up and said, "I have other ideas for doing this."
"Yeah?"
Seiichiro Kuribayashi asked: "Are we going to ask other lyricists to write the lyrics?"
Not only were the lyrics removed from the song he specially tailored for Chisato Moritaka, but the lyrics were also removed from the three other songs selected from the library.
"That's pretty much it." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
I simply told my team members that Warner Vanguard would have to explain my thoughts in more detail.
The people at Warner Pioneer spoke highly of the four songs brought by Shinichi Iwahashi, but when they came to bid with demos without lyrics, Warner Pioneer also felt a little baffled.
"It's not that I didn't fill in the lyrics on purpose, it's just that I haven't met the person who filled in the lyrics yet." Iwahashi Shinichi made a prank.
As analyzed by Watanabe Manyumi, one of the important reasons why Warner Pioneer is willing to sell Watanabe Manyumi to save face is because of Shinichi Iwahashi's successful transformation judgment.
He has some vision when it comes to looking at people. Although this vision was only really shown by Akiko Matsumoto once, the accuracy of that time and the transformation plan that followed were impressive.
Later, the cooperation with the music festival made Warner Pioneer feel that he had talent, so they were willing to give him this opportunity.
"I want Sengosang to try to write the lyrics himself," he said.
"Since she wants to be a capable person, just being able to play the keyboard or drums can only be called embellishment. If we want to really let the public have the impression of a 'powerful person', we might as well try to let her participate in the production herself.
"
This is Shinichi Iwahashi's strategy.
Using the excuse of "leaving the lyrics to the powerful Ms. Sengao" avoided Genzo's shortcoming of not having a suitable lyricist, and instead took this opportunity to kick the ball to Warner Pioneer, who was committed to the powerful.
It’s not that I didn’t prepare the lyrics, it’s just to coordinate with your powerful group’s big plan.
Yes, since you want to be a strong player, you must have something to show for it. No matter how good you are at playing musical instruments, these are like small decorations on your skirt and are of no fundamental use.
…
Chisato Moritaka learned keyboard instruments from a young age and played drums in a band in high school. He has a good understanding of music theory. He also tried composing and writing lyrics in high school. In fact, he has talent and talent.
However, for now, this talent and talent have just sprouted and have not yet reached the stage of growing up.
Warner Pioneer gave the four-song demo to Chisato Moritaka, who was excited to get this opportunity to write lyrics.
A top student who has studied music seriously since childhood, even if he enters the entertainment industry and performs according to the packaging of the record company, he still looks forward to the moment when he can truly become a "powerful person".
After getting the demo of the song, I felt that the opportunity was right in front of me. Chisato Moritaka listened to the song over and over again. Even on the way to record the show, I took a pen and paper to write and draw in the recording studio while waiting.
, treated with unprecedented seriousness.
She had just debuted and not yet become popular, yet she shared a lounge with other people. The girls in the same room were all idols. From this, we can see the industry's attitude towards her.
The idols are dressed up and look very delicate, but Chisato Moritaka, who came to Tokyo from the Kumamoto countryside, has a little bit of "reckless" youthful vitality, which makes him stand out.
However, with the makeup and dressing up, it seems a little out of place.
After repeated revisions and scribblings, Chisato Moritaka finally handed over an answer sheet that she was quite satisfied with, filling in the lyrics of all four songs.
After getting the lyrics, the review was conducted by Warner Pioneer people and Shinichi Iwahashi. For this time, Shinichi Iwahashi, as the representative, is also the "producer".
Chisato Moritaka attended the review meeting with her agent.
Seeing the real person, Shinichi Iwahashi looked her over briefly, and suddenly his eyes lit up. The real person who was thousands of miles away was even more beautiful and attractive than the photos and videos.
"This is producer Iwahashi from Genzo."
The staff of Warner Pioneer introduced Shinichi Iwahashi to Chisato Moritaka. The bid had not yet been won. Although Warner Pioneer accepted his opinion, it did not express its approval for him.
"Hello, I am Chisato Moritaka."
The eighteen-year-old girl bowed vigorously to him, showing great etiquette.
No matter what, the identity of a producer is still very powerful.
Those who can write lyrics and compose music are not necessarily producers. The so-called producer is a person with absolute authority over songwriters, arrangers, and singers. Therefore, many producers hold important positions in record companies.
After Chisato Moritaka said hello, he quietly went to see Shinichi Iwahashi and couldn't help but be surprised.
If nothing else, this Iwahashi producer looks too young, completely different from the middle-aged and unsmiling producers I remember seeing.
After saying hello, the review meeting officially begins.
Sentaka Senri sat at the bottom, anxiously waiting for the results of the review by these "adults".
Iwahashi Shinichi spread the four lyrics in front of him, read them word for word, then connected them together and read them again, and then slowly said: "I'm afraid these lyrics are not good."
His words were merciless.
Upon hearing this, Sengao Qianli, who was sitting at the bottom, turned pale on the spot.
I worked my butt off to conceive, revise, and finally write the lyrics, but the producer rejected them with just one word.
Sentaka Senri couldn't help but feel deeply affected.
But I felt a little unconvinced. I raised my face stubbornly and looked at the incredibly young producer, perhaps only a few years older than myself, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"It's not a question of talent."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't realize that the girl sitting at the bottom was quietly "glaring" at him with a look of reluctance, and was only concentrating on talking to the people from Warner Pioneer.
