Before Miwa Yoshida walked in, she commented like a gourmet entertainer who wanted to comment before eating.
"Average." Iwahashi Shinichi said meaninglessly modestly.
I thought to myself, when she comes in later, she must not act like a gourmet artist who is tasting food and express unnecessary thoughts about everything in the room.
...It would be strange not to publish it.
After entering the door, Miwa Yoshida looked around curiously at his room, which could be seen in full view just by rolling his eyes like in eye exercises.
“Amazing, surprisingly clean and tidy.”
"It's like saying this in a sarcastic way," Iwahashi Shinichi said deliberately.
Yoshida Miwa smiled, "That's not the case, please don't be so stingy." After a pause, "I just didn't expect Iwahashi-san's life to be so orderly. I thought that as a young man living alone, the room would be more messy.
.”
After saying that, she raised her wrist and showed the hand-held paper bag hanging on her wrist, "Anyway, this is my first visit. I brought you chocolate chip cookies."
"Thank you." Shinichi Iwahashi took it and put it on the counter. Turning around, Yoshida Miwa looked at him like a small animal.
He deliberately pretended to be stupid and refused to open the box of snacks. He opened the drawer, took a bag of bread, pointed to the file bags, letter papers and tapes piled on the low table, and said while chewing the bread: "Everything is here."
Already."
Miwa Yoshida said "Oh" and tilted her head, "I understand."
After the demo tape was completed, the two of them pooled their money and made dozens of copies, preparing to send them to record companies as self-recommendation business cards.
Miwa Yoshida came here today just to bind these demo tapes with him.
It is inconvenient to do this kind of work outside, and Yoshida Mi and Fangnan Town's apartment is shared with others, so it is not suitable to disturb him. In the end, it is still his residence as a bachelor, and it doesn't matter how he comes here.
"Iwahashi-san doesn't have any good girls, right?" At this time, Yoshida Miwa seemed like a gourmet entertainer summarizing after eating. After watching the food to her heart's content, she expressed this feeling, "There are no girls in the room at all.
The breath of."
"..."
Iwahashi Shinichi finished chewing the bread and said, "Let's start quickly."
"Hai~" Yoshida Miwa protracted her tone and responded perfunctorily.
"Bad~"
"good luk~"
“bon voyage(have a good journey)~”
Yoshida Miwa muttered while working. At first, it was just ordinary murmurs. As she murmured, she probably got more energetic. She sang a jazz improvisation with these few words, and the way she changed them was like slipping away.
Iwahashi Shinichi listened for a long time before finally interrupting her, "Yoshida-san, what are you doing?"
"I wish them a good future." Miwa Yoshida said matter-of-factly.
Iwahashi Shinichi's forehead twitched, "...Okay." The co-author is the archmage chanting magic, right?
Mortals like him really don't understand the world of bosses.
Binding dozens of audition tapes, plus the letters of introduction attached to them, the workload is not too big but not too small, but the main focus is on writing the letters of introduction.
Self-promotion, if you don't write by hand, it will inevitably give people an impression of insufficient sincerity, and the handwriting should not be too sloppy. In this way, the two of them are like two bad students writing exam papers, one stroke after another,
I was afraid of being deducted points from the roll.
It was still not finished by noon, so Iwahashi Shinichi and Yoshida Miwa temporarily put aside their work and went to a nearby small restaurant to have something to eat.
I feel lazy when my stomach is full. After I came back, Yoshida Miwa said "take a rest", and Iwahashi Shinichi also agreed. So, in this six-story room, the two of them occupied one side, as if there was an invisible 38th line.
Across the middle.
There was a thick pile of magazines and books piled in the corner. Yoshida Miwa asked him, "Can I take a look?"
"Just take a look."
Yoshida Miwa then flipped through with great interest. They were all music information magazines and music history books. Most of the magazines were from previous issues, and some of them were even from one or two years ago.
She asked: "So many old magazines?"
"I bought it cheaply from a second-hand bookstore." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
Reading magazines is a good way to quickly understand the current market, because magazines have a special feature of "summary". By reading past issues of magazines, you can systematically understand the changes in the market's music trends through the contents.
Not to mention the history of music. If you want to make a living in this country’s music scene, how can you do it without understanding the history of their music scene?
When it comes to the ecology of the rb music scene, basically speaking, in the beginning, everyone performed their own duties, the song writers stayed behind the scenes and acted as the undercover, and the responsible singers shined in front of the stage.
Record companies sign contracts with songwriters, allowing them to act as exclusive writers for the company. This is similar to the studio era of RB Movies. Film companies also train directors, scriptwriters and actors themselves. If they do not start from the bottom of the studio
Once you start, you won't have a foothold in the film industry.
However, this studio system eventually collapsed, and the record company system could not continue in the industry forever.
Around 1955, rb's economic white paper announced that the country had been lifted out of poverty. Various European and American singers began to visit Japan in the 1950s, and European and American music became popular. (As for the impact of zz on the music scene, for the sake of harmony, I will not mention it here.
)
After the Beatles visited Japan, young people began to pick up instruments such as guitars to form bands, and the groupsounds rock music trend arose. The representative figures were the spide band and the tige band of Kenji Sawada.
Sakai Masaaki, a member of the spide, played the role of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" in 1978. After this TV series about Master Tripitaka's sexual transformation into a girl was spread to China, it led to the birth of the 86 version of Journey to the West. Two blossoms, two blossoms.
Groupsounds come and go quickly, and gradually fade away after representative bands disband, but there is no doubt that the elements brought about by this trend have greatly enriched the RB music scene.
As European and American music continued to be imported into rb, young people were influenced by European and American singers who composed and sang on their own, and the number of singer-songwriters also increased significantly. These laid the foundation for the birth and development of new music later.
In addition, just as the disintegration of the studio system has made movies more diversified, the past rules of record companies performing their own duties have been broken during the impact, making pop music more colorful.
.
The development of new music and the birth of idols happened almost at the same time. In 1971, in a variety show called "Star! Birth", three original idols, Momoe Yamaguchi, Junko Sakurada and Masako Mori, were born.
Over the past ten years or so, the profession of idol has never gone out of style.
In the past few years, record sales have been sluggish, and only idols' sales can be said to be strong, so the people who make new music have also become the providers of lyrics and music for these voluptuous people.
"Haha!" Yoshida Miwa, who was flipping through the magazine casually, suddenly laughed, interrupting Iwahashi Shinichi's train of thought.
"Did you see anything good?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.
"It says here," Miwa Yoshida stared at the inside pages of the magazine, laughing as she read, "When a typhoon hits, every time a billboard falls down in Ginza, one of the ten girls hit will be an idol."
