Regarding this point, of course, Iwahashi Shinichi had already been preparing for it.
It is a strategy to avoid one's own shortcomings and first hand over the lyric writing rights to Chisato Moritaka himself under the guise of trusting the talented group.
I have never seen Chisato Moritaka's lyrics, so of course I can't be naive enough to think that she is absolutely qualified for the role of lyricist. Therefore, letting her write lyrics was originally a deliberate cover-up.
Now, her lyrics have been rejected, and the strong line has been abandoned under the analysis of Shinichi Iwahashi. Warner Pioneer listened to Shinichi Iwahashi's ideas and decided to let him plan Moritaka Chisato's next transformation.
So, everything goes to the next step naturally.
Iwahashi Shinichi took the opportunity to ask the famous lyricist of idol songs to write lyrics for Chisato Moritaka's new single.
His reason for moving out is extremely legitimate. Originally, it was another matter to let Chisato Moritaka act as a powerful actor. Now that he is planning to transform into an idol, the best sign of the trend is the change of the production team.
For example, if lyricist Goro Matsui and composer Juri Goto partner up, the public will 100% know that this is an idol song when they look at the lineup, because both are well-known songwriters in the industry who have maintained long-term cooperation with idols.
Now, the production rights are given to genzo, and the composer hired is not a well-known idol song composer. So, firstly, we need to have a sign of transformation, and secondly, hiring a well-known lyricist can increase the topic, so please
It is only natural that a famous person should write lyrics for Sentaka Senri.
After going around in a circle, the ball was kicked by Shinichi Iwahashi to Warner Pioneer.
It's not that he doesn't want to provide lyrics to Chisato Moritaka, but hiring a famous artist is the best option under the current situation.
So far, the transformation plan proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi has been accepted by Warner Pioneer. The request to invite famous lyricists has become a part of the transformation plan. Warner Pioneer not only has to cooperate, but also cooperates actively.
This may seem like a lot of trouble, but even if you get the production rights, whether it's planning or lyrics, after you make it here, you still have to get the nod from the record company and agree to pay for the purchase of famous lyrics.
As the process progressed, he took a song by Seiichiro Kuribayashi and sang it to Chisato Moritaka. Warner Pioneer also had to pay the royalties for the music to Genzo, and this royalties were divided into 70% to Genzo and 30% to Seiichiro Kuribayashi.
.
Because of this, we had to dig a small hole first and then bring Warner Pioneer into the hole.
Warner Pioneer agreed to buy the lyrics of famous writers. After that, Shinichi Iwahashi took the lead in deciding which lyricist should be hired.
The title song has been finalized, and it is the one that Iwahashi Shinichi asked Kuribayashi Seiichiro to tailor for Moritaka Chisato.
The current era is when the disco trend is on the rise. Ishii Akimi's cover of "cha-cha-cha" can make Nakamori unparalleled, and Oginome Yoko, who has been doing nothing for several years, has made a comeback with "daninghero".
The trend of the times is irreversible, and this trend of the times has invisibly extended the lives of idols who are in a state of decline. Disco elements can be seen everywhere in the songs of idols.
Shinichi Iwahashi did not intend to go against the trend. This song tailor-made for Chisato Moritaka has disco/funk elements, which just caters to the current market trends.
When it came to the choice of lyricist, he had already made his plans.
Although Genzo himself does not have a lyricist, he does know a ready-made idol song lyricist. Yes, it is the chubby young man Yasushi Akimoto who is not very serious.
To say that he is not very serious is actually only in the Kitty Club.
This guy has provided many magical lyrics to the Kitten Club, such as "Banana's Tears", "Elephant's Fanzi", etc. Just by looking at his name, you can tell that he is not a fat young man without a story.
However, the program "Twilight Meow Meow" itself is not that serious. The Meow Meow in the name comes from the scandal of Tomoko Takabe, a member of the わらべ group, mentioned before.
A man who claimed to be Tomoko Takabe's boyfriend sold a photo of Tomoko Takabe smoking in sage mode to a magazine. However, Tomoko Takabe was only sixteen years old at the time, and because of industry self-restraint rules, the magazine published
When writing, you cannot explicitly write about minors in this or that way.
But if such big news is not published but gets rotten in the hands, that is simply not what humans do.
So the clever magazine coined the word "meow" and described the situation in the photo as "a friendly meow meowing and then smoking a cigarette." Therefore, the word meow itself carries the meaning of a minor.
That means.
The fat young man planned "Dusk Meow Meow" with Fuji TV. Putting Meow Meow in the title is telling the public that this program is not that serious. Therefore, it is logical that the famous song "Don't Covet Someone's Sailor Suit" will appear in the future.
.
However, outside of Kitty Club, Yasushi Akimoto still wrote many serious lyrics.
The opportunity for him to become a lyricist was to provide lyrics for the veteran band Thealfee. Later, his identity as a lyricist was confirmed because he wrote "Dramatirain" for Junichi Inagaki.
In addition, he also gave confessions to orthodox idols such as Kikuchi Momoko and Koizumi Kyoko, and his scope of activities was very wide.
Koizumi Kyoko's famous song "Naruto" (Because I'm an Idol) was composed by him. The lyrics describe the idol vividly and can be called a masterpiece since the birth of the idol profession.
The relationship I developed with Yasushi Akimoto by playing all night in Ginza and Roppongi was not put to use at the time, but it is finally put to use now.
We have a personal friendship, so I didn't go through the record company to ask him to help me write lyrics, but contacted him directly.
It was 1986 when I met Yasushi Akimoto. At that time, the kitten club was sweeping the industry. As an upstart in the industry, Yasushi Akimoto was high-spirited. It was the time for all aspects to come together.
Just one year later, with the show "Twilight Meow" cut in half, the Kitty Club announcing its dissolution, and his career masterpiece failing, Akimoto Yasushi suddenly felt a little confused, as if he had reached a low point in his life.
Of course, with Akimoto Yasu's current fame, status, money and talent, even if the Kitten Club is disbanded, he will not really fall into the trough. As a lyricist, script writer, and writer, he will still enjoy prestige.
However, this feeling of falling into a trough does not refer to these things on an ordinary level, but rather, with the demise of his most successful work Kitten Club, Akimoto Yasushi felt that his inspiration and career had reached a bottleneck period.
The wonderful idea of the Kitten Club has never existed before, and I will not be able to think of anything that can surpass it for some time in the future. And the huge wealth, fame and fortune that the Kitten Club brought him was something that other identities could not bring him.
