241. Other opportunities

Iwahashi Shinichi was deeply impressed by this "movable jewelry booth" band, and also recognized and appreciated their talents.

Although the eagerness to perform can lead to bad things, a band like this is more suitable than any other band to hide and polish before debuting.

This is what the so-called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is like. An excellent band may fail if they cannot find a suitable promotion method, while a mediocre band may become popular because of a suitable promotion method.

In addition, Tajima Takao has strong creative power. His rich reserves and changeable styles even made Shinichi Iwahashi feel that he could be a full-time songwriter instead of a lead singer.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you are not a full-time songwriter, you can still provide music to others. By signing a new band, Watanabe Wanyumi has a new talent, and Iwahashi Shinichi can also be said to have another composer who can produce stable output.



The members of the band have been involved in the underground music circle for many years, and were very familiar with Shinichi Iwahashi's name. Because they were convinced by him, they were more determined to sign the contract. After signing the contract, because of Genzo's relationship with u-miz, it was a natural progression for him to come here to help.

Although originallove failed in the challenge, it cannot be said to be defeated by the Human Chair. Although in Tajima Takao's heart, he who regarded the Human Chair as his opponent failed to challenge successfully, which was equivalent to losing to the Human Chair.

Iwahashi Shinichi can speak. Regarding this matter, he said, "What you lose to is not a human chair, but yourselves."

It’s okay to say it’s a step down for the band, but after saying that, the people at OriginalLove felt a little less awkward about being the backband for Human Chair.

"But," Iwahashi Shinichi changed his subject, "Now, if you go to serve as a backband for the Human Chair, rather than seeing it as helping them, it is better to see it as a different kind of competition, and you cannot lose to them."

He deliberately changed his words, and under his guidance, Murayama Takashi's enthusiasm was subtly aroused. He thought that if he held back the human chair, it would be like losing to them, so he must go all out.

Just like that, not only did it not have that awkward twists and turns, but it quickly got Takashi Murayama into the mood.

After the recording, Shinichi Iwahashi treated everyone to a late-night snack, just some oden. After the important things were done, it was like shaking hands to show friendship after the game, and the atmosphere among everyone seemed quite harmonious.

The meal was lively.

After all the recording is completed, the singers' work is done for the time being. The producer will have to stay in the recording studio for two more days and work overtime to sort out the tracks and then send them to the mixing room.

During this period, CBS Sony was also ready and contacted the printing plate factory to prepare the pressing production line. This time is special, there is no production plan for LP and tapes, all 10,000 copies are CDs.

As for doing this, the main reason is to consider the cost issue. In addition, it is also to cooperate with CBS and Sony’s CD promotion plan.



day to day.

After being so busy every day that his feet hit the back of his head, and after sleeping in the recording studio for several nights, Shinichi Iwahashi finally had a good night's rest on his bed at home. When he got up in the morning, he opened the curtains and saw snowflakes falling outside the window.

Rather than saying it is snowflakes, it is better to say that it is finely divided snow particles.

Look at the calendar, we are already halfway through December and 1987 is coming to an end.

In the last half month, in addition to the usual daily work, there is also a reception or thank you party to attend almost every day, and some are even organized by genzo itself.

The two girls, Akamatsu Haruko and Yoshida Miwa, were entrusted with important tasks by Iwahashi Shinichi and wrote dozens after dozens of New Year's postcards and mailed them out. After they started working alone, even the cost of postcards doubled.

As for Iwahashi Shinichi himself, he was extremely busy attending receptions and thank-you parties one after another.

During this period, the production team of TV Asahi began to prepare for the New Year special program of Band Tianguo. During the New Year period, when you turn on the TV, various New Year programs and New Year special programs dominate the screen, and they are naturally no exception.

The content of the special program is not complicated. The top three bands with the highest scores in each episode of the previous Band Paradise program are selected to hold a live performance at the Youth Center. They are publicly announced and accept phone registrations from the audience.

By the time the special program aired, the Human Chair's single had almost been sold, and it was a good opportunity to promote it. As soon as the abacus clicked, everything clicked.

While preparing for the special program, the band Begin once again held the title of winner in the latest program, surpassed the human chair, won three consecutive victories, and made solid progress towards the throne of the first generation champion.

The last episode of the program will be on the 26th. If begin can win again, it will be a four-game winning streak. The fifth game that determines whether they will advance to the championship or fall short will be revealed later in the year as a suspense.

At present, no one doubts that they can win, or that this band is somewhat popular.

No matter from which aspect, they all have the qualities to win the favor of the public.

In a competition, for players, those who win bronze medals feel more satisfied than those who win silver medals.

In the program, for the audience, the championship match, which is only one step away, can arouse their expectations more than the group trials. Even the production team is willing to see this suspense continue until the end of the year.

Under such a highly anticipated situation, it seems logical that Begin can win the fourth consecutive week.

During this period, Watanabe Wanyumi told Shinichi Iwahashi something.

Speaking of which, the two of them are now working hard towards the same goal. At the end of the year, they have to attend many events together. It can be said that they never see each other all day long.

Watanabe Manyumi told him that Amuse's president Yokichi Ohri was a bit determined to win Begin's agency contract.

In fact, Begin's potential has always been noticed by the people at the delegates' table. Not only was he interested in the agent's contract, but also the record companies were eyeing him.

Let’s put the record deal aside for the time being. When it comes to the management deal, that’s what Watanabe Wan Yumi needs to pay attention to.

However, compared to Amuse, U-Miz obviously doesn't have the ability to compete. What's more, Amuse, who supported them a lot during the birth of the program, is interested, and Watanabe Manyumi also has to take this into consideration.

It's okay not to mention this matter, but once I mention it, it reminds Iwahashi Shinichi.

"Begin's current momentum is very good. If it really debuts, the results may be worth looking at. However, even if we can't win a management contract, we can still seize other opportunities."

"Other opportunities?"

"Yes, it's right here." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
