That being said, when we first started working together, it was not pleasant at all.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, this is his first time as a producer, and for Chisato Moritaka, it is a time to overthrow the music world he has just built since his debut and re-establish his own style.
Both of them are in a state of inexperience and need to explore.
In fact, the shortcomings of idol production, which frequently changes producers, are very obvious.
They are not long-term partners, and producers and singers often lack the necessary tacit understanding. If they want to be effective, they have to spend a lot of effort on getting along with each other.
If you ignore this difference and work hard, problems such as inconsistent song styles will easily occur, and you will not be able to maximize your respective abilities.
Iwahashi Shinichi recalled that when he first met Yoshida Miwa, although both parties had the same goal, it was useless to just "like each other". They still had to use themselves to polish each other, and at the same time, use each other to polish themselves, and then gradually became
A more ideal partner in each other's hearts.
The lively newlyweds adjust to different living habits.
But now, since both parties have the idea of doing better, it has become necessary to run in with Chisato Moritaka. Therefore, even if it starts to take a little more time, he still decided to treat her first before entering the official recording stage.
Carry out the necessary understanding and polishing.
When he founded Genzo, Shinichi Iwahashi was determined to make a band as his next big goal, and he cooperated with Watanabe Manyumi to produce Band Heaven.
As a result, Band Paradise has not yet aired, and the first person to be the producer is actually an idol.
This incident is not ironic or anything, it is quite normal.
Before the birth of idols, the producers who produced idols were also producers who produced bands or enka singers. On the other hand, as long as communication was in place, band producers would also cooperate with idols.
The great lyricist Ajiuyou can not only write enka lyrics that can be passed down to generations, but he is also a judge of "Star! Birth". The fat young man Akimoto Yasushi can not only write lyrics for fast-moving idols in the assembly line, but when he gets serious, he becomes a singer and a band.
Everything is available.
Needless to say how great Ryuichi Sakamoto is, he still contributes songs to idols.
Experience is the same thing.
Ordinary people in the audience can distinguish obvious likes and dislikes based on different tastes, but people behind the scenes should try their best to eliminate such prejudices.
…
Although the cooperation with Chisato Moritaka does not require as much energy as working with Miwa-chan, it still requires a considerable amount of energy.
Therefore, in the first few days, the two of them were in a state of disapproval. Iwahashi Shinichi was the biggest producer, and he was not merciful at all when he provoked problems.
And Chisato Moritaka is not the kind of assembly-line singer who is obedient and doesn't have her own ideas. She won't swallow her anger when she disagrees with something, but speaks out.
Especially when they first met in the conference room, Shinichi Iwahashi left a somewhat bad impression on Chisato Moritaka.
First, he behaved mercilessly, which made Chisato Moritaka feel that he was arrogant, difficult to speak, and very arbitrary. The look before leaving also gave him an additional impression of "a very gentleman".
No matter which way you look at it, they are not good words.
Because her impression of him was not good enough, Chisato Moritaka was prepared to be scolded the first time she talked back.
As a result, Shinichi Iwahashi not only did not scold her, but also listened carefully to her opinions. Not only did he listen, he also discussed with her the feasibility and feasibility of it in a logical manner.
Although he was rejected in the end, Sentaka Senri felt more like he had been eluded than disappointed.
It seems that this producer is not as unkind as imagined.
This should have been a good thing, but I had prepared myself mentally and was prepared to tolerate this difficult-to-talk producer for a while, but it turned out that the producer didn't want to fight with her and used the knife in his hand to cut her watermelon.
Sentaka Senri has a subtle feeling of trying hard to get the result but can't get it out, so he can only hold it back.
I thought he was a bad person, but he turned out not to be a bad person. Before I breathed a sigh of relief, I first felt a sense of disappointment.
Man is such a strange creature.
but
"Sen Gaosang, this can't work!"
When Shinichi Iwahashi corrected the pronunciation of a certain line of her lyrics and demanded her in an authoritative tone that could not be refuted, Chisato Moritaka couldn't help but want to take back the previous illusion that "Producer Iwahashi is not a bad person."
Although he is not a bad person, he is certainly not a gentle person.
The saying that people have thousands of faces is probably what it means.
The eighteen-year-old girl had some subtle feelings about this producer. But she had not yet realized that the psychological resistance left when she met him for the first time made her have more feelings for Iwahashi Shinichi after they started cooperating.
focus on.
It was this doubled attention that made her pay special attention to Iwahashi Shinichi's various practices.
Iwahashi Shinichi was completely unaware of Moritaka Senri's complicated senses towards him.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, Sentaka Senri in his hands is like a newly acquired raw material. He looks at the raw material, finds out its advantages and flaws, looks at what the raw material looks like, and then creates ideas in his mind.
.
Good raw materials are rare, and it is a sin to waste a little bit. Excessive craftsmanship is sometimes just to remove and cover up the flaws in the raw materials. But for Chisato Moritaka, there is not much that needs excessive modification.
place.
She already possesses natural and characteristic beauty, so what he has to do is, first, to highlight this natural beauty, and second, to transform the exposed flaws.
In the recording studio, Shinichi Iwahashi is at home like a fish in water.
Even if a new manager-turned-producer has experience in forming a band, from the perspective of the sound engineer in charge of Chisato Moritaka, he has to question his ability.
However, the recording engineer soon discovered that this young man was not a thin man who did not know how to produce and could only play the piano. On the contrary, he had talents that ordinary people did not have.
You know, when you sing in the recording studio, the sound fed back to the monitoring headphones on the opposite side is dry, so even the smallest flaws will be exposed. People with poor singing skills can really contribute a killer singing voice.
Come.
In particular, Shinichi Iwahashi's ears are particularly powerful.
When I listened to the audition tape of amuse newcomers, Iwahashi Shinichi, who has absolute pitch, was tortured by the newcomers of the level of "Love Offering". But here with Chisato Moritaka, she has the blessing of absolute pitch, and her singing skills are naturally exposed.
However, although Chisato Moritaka has a bit of a chicken voice, he is quite good in other aspects. Although his singing skills are not good enough, his pitch is accurate and his voice is distinctive, so he can still make a living as a singer.
Iwahashi Shinichi regarded the imperfections he heard in her singing as flaws in the raw materials, and thought about how to polish these flaws, so he asked her over and over again to sing a certain line before he heard it.
Come to Awkward Lyrics and find the best singing solution.
This kind of word-picking correction was initially regarded by Chisato Moritaka as a manifestation of his "inhumanity". The sound engineer also disapproved of his approach and believed that such a method of confirming sentence by sentence was not appropriate.
After Shinichi Iwahashi said "yes", the three of them sat down together to listen to the recording.
Through comparison, Iwahashi Shinichi explained step by step why he asked Chisato Moritaka to try a certain singing method and what was inappropriate. Only through this comparison did the two of them understand his painstaking efforts.
The sound engineer couldn't help but look at him with admiration, "Iwahashi-san, you are really sensitive to sounds."
Iwahashi Shinichi looked very humble, "It's okay."
"More than just 'okay', if you work in a recording studio, you must be a first-class recording engineer."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and accepted the compliment. Excessive modesty is pride.
Chisato Moritaka was speechless as he listened to Shinichi Iwahashi's analysis and guidance.
When looking at this producer Iwahashi, the inner resistance also melted away a lot at this moment. If he hadn't been so unkind, perhaps this resistance would have existed for a long time.
However, after being tortured by him for so long and suffering unspeakably, I suddenly understood his good intentions. In this way, his good intentions were infinitely magnified, as if it was the first hint of sweetness after all the hardships.
Chisato Moritaka's impression of Shinichi Iwahashi has changed somewhat.
This Iwabashi producer speaks to the point, but everything he says is well-founded. Although sometimes he is unreasonable, he is not using power as a weapon...it is not as scary as imagined.
Even the "gentleman" thing...after we started working together, he showed himself to be an unquestionably gentleman.
It seems like you misunderstood him?
…
Sing like this one sentence at a time, then listen to the scattered tracks, and then point out some problems in pronunciation, pronunciation, and rhythm based on the characteristics of Sentaka Chisato's voice.
Wait until these things are clear, and then put them into whole pieces.
The goal has been achieved. After explaining to Chisato Moritaka, Shinichi Iwahashi said: "Then, please remember that feeling, and pay more attention to those points when recording officially."
He marked the points that needed attention on the score.
Sentaka Moritaka nodded and was obedient, "Yes, Iwahashi-san." Now that he understands Iwahashi Shinichi's intentions, Sentaka Moritaka's initial stubbornness has gradually softened.
"By the way," Shinichi Iwahashi remembered the small movements of her hands when she sang when he was watching her record a song, and asked, "Are the movements of your hands when you sing simulating drumming?"
I just saw her subconsciously waving her hands when she was singing. At first, Iwahashi Shinichi thought her little movement was a bit weird, but after paying close attention, he saw that it was a drumming movement.
"Why?"
Chisato Moritaka didn't expect him to notice it, and was a little embarrassed. He explained: "Because I had been a drummer in the school band before, so I subconsciously followed suit."
The reason why I am embarrassed comes from a shyness of having my little secret seen through.
"Are you a little nervous?" Shinichi Iwahashi felt very keenly.
As long as it's not non-negotiable, Shinichi Iwahashi is a gentle and steady person. This gentleness makes Chisato Moritaka feel at ease, and she nodded, "A little bit."
"Um, do you want to get rid of this habit? Iwahashi-san." Moritaka Chisato asked.
Unexpectedly, Iwahashi Shinichi's answer was not a denial of her, but: "It's okay if you don't change it... On the contrary, I think it's good to keep this little move."
"Really?" Sentaka Senri was a little surprised.
"Yes, although it is a bit naive, or childish." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "However, it can also be regarded as a kind of your personal style. The so-called style does not necessarily have to be handsome, beautiful, cute, etc.
Yoshikawa Koji’s typhoon of winking and raising his legs on the stage may seem inexplicable at first glance, but it has its own charm.”
Especially the wink, it’s really magical after watching it for a long time.
Koji Yoshikawa is a very well-known male singer today. His masterpiece "monia" was covered by Leslie Cheung. No matter which version of the two versions, as long as it starts with "a!", they are all charming.
Koji Yoshikawa was a water polo player in high school and an Olympic candidate. His superior motor skills kept him from settling down after becoming a singer. He acted wildly on stage and did backflips as if he was free.
In addition, this guy is a handsome guy with countless female fans. He can be called the girl killer of this era.
As a young girl of this era, Chisato Moritaka is no stranger to Koji Yoshikawa. She couldn't help but smile when Shinichi Iwahashi asked him to lift chestnuts.
"In short, for people standing on the stage, there is no need to be 'perfect'." Shinichi Iwahashi pointed out this point, "Some small flaws and human touch are what make a living person standing there.
Only when you become a living person can you have the charm to attract others."
Now is the time when stars have fallen from the clouds.
In the past, when there were only movie screens, celebrities were undoubtedly the ones above the clouds. So when television was first introduced, excited movie fans would kiss the TV screen to express their support for their favorite stars because the stars were closer to them.
At that time, stars were too far away.
The popularity of television was the beginning of stars falling from the clouds.
After the changes and transitions of the times, no one will believe the lie that "celebrities are gods" anymore. An idol that is too perfect makes people feel false, so that they cannot have the idea of supporting her.
It can also be seen as a strategy to let stars become people with a little bit of flaws.
When shortcomings bring the star closer to the public, and after a sense of familiarity arises, when you look at more of the star's advantages, you will admire her even more.
Chisato Moritaka is a smart girl. After listening to his words, she probably understood the true meaning of her words.
