What is truly shameful is plagiarism and lack of ambition.
Cover singing is not an easy thing to do. If you want to get good results, you also need to pay attention to strategies and skills. If you do it blindly, not only will you not get good results, but it may even cause negative effects.
to have a counterproductive effect.
…
The idea sprouted in an unexpected place. Iwahashi Shinichi carefully removed it along with the soil covering the rhizome, replanted it in a more suitable place, and then tried his best to protect it.
oh.
The next project was conceived around Saori Minami’s cover of the title song of the next single.
Planning cannot be done alone. When considering the first step, you must consider the next two or three steps. The same is true for cover planning, especially if you plan to have Chisato Moritaka cover the popular songs of former idols.
It's one thing to use it as a supplement to the set list at a concert, but it's another thing to release it as a serious single.
When your image is similar to that of your predecessors, it is not impossible to use covers to open up the situation. However, you must be careful not to label the cover as "someone's imitator."
Countless lessons tell us that if every idol who wants to become "someone second" doesn't give up being an imitator and find his own way, he will die in pursuit of this "so-and-so".
Because of this, although there is a plan to cover it, we cannot copy it all. The best way is to borrow an old bottle from Nan Saori to put a bottle of Sentaka Qianli's new wine.
Saori Minami, who is a high-quality idol in the hearts of the public and has fond memories of a generation, completes a communication with the public, just like Chisato Moritaka singing the popular songs of former idols at a concert.
However, while communicating, we must let the audience see the difference between Moritaka Chisato and Minami Saori, and then realize that this is an idol with its own unique charm.
Only at this point has the task of singing been truly completed.
…
When you think of it, you have to do it and find a way.
After the celebration, at ten o'clock, everyone who came to the party decided where to go next. The reception staff of TV Asahi continued to accompany them, not only accompanying them, but also finding a taxi for everyone in the end.
Whether in an office or a TV station, it is not easy to be assigned to receive social workers.
At this time, the four women, including Watanabe Manyumi, took advantage of the situation and said goodbye. None of the others left the meeting and continued to move to new places.
The staff of TV Asahi called a taxi in advance, and Shinichi Iwahashi shared the taxi with Kazuo Hirai, the representative of CBS Sony, Makino, the representative of Tokuma Records, and Kenichiro Nozaki of Kenyin who took the initiative to take a ride with Shinichi Iwahashi.
After the car started, Iwahashi Shin said jokingly, "I haven't enjoyed such thoughtful treatment in a long time."
Not counting the emotionless driver, among the four people, he is the only one who started from scratch and worked hard.
"It doesn't matter, I will be treated so considerately in the future." Kenichiro Nozaki added. He was familiar with Shinichi Iwahashi, and they were about the same age, so they talked quite casually.
"That's right." Representative Makino of Tokuma Records also answered, and gave him a top hat by the way, "To be honest, Iwahashi-san deserves a lot of credit for being treated so thoughtfully tonight."
"I don't dare to take it, but it's thanks to your blessing." Iwahashi Shinichi didn't accept this.
Kazuo Hirai smiled and said nothing, listening to the three people chatting, and his conduct as an audience was first-class.
However, this kind of isolation did not last long. At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly changed the topic, "Speaking of which, after Nansa Ori-san retires, CBS Sony will still be taking care of it, right?"
Although he didn't directly name "Hirai-san", since CBS Sony was mentioned, the topic was undoubtedly for him.
After a singer retires, it is not just as simple as simply searching for this person from now on. Even if he retires, his "image" and "works" still exist in the world, so there must be an agency or record company to take care of it on his behalf.
Business.
For example, when a collection is released on the anniversary of the debut, or the TV station needs to use the singer's portrait when producing inventory-type programs, etc., someone has to act as an intermediary.
It’s not just about retirement. For example, Sakamoto Kyū’s famous song “Going forward with your head held high” won the first place on the US Billboard chart in 1963. He was the first person in history to win the first place on the Billboard chart.
The Asian singer has a high status as a singer, and later served as the host of "Star! Birth".
The great singer later unfortunately took the fatal flight of Japan Airlines in 1985 and became one of the victims of the Japan Airlines 123 crash.
After his death, the owner of the image "Kyu Sakamoto" is still managed by his former office. Therefore, when the TV station needs to use it, he still has to contact his former office.
When asked suddenly, Hirai Kazuo thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes." After a pause, he added, "The year before last was the 15th anniversary of Nansa Ori-san's debut, and our agency also planned a selection album.
"
A record company with good ethics will never miss the opportunity to release a collection, especially a collection that does not require re-arrangement and recording, but just uses the previous master tapes to make a huge profit.
"I see." Shinichi Iwahashi calculated in his mind, "In other words, this year is the seventeenth anniversary of Nansa Ori-san's debut."
"Yes." The person who answered was Kenichiro Nozaki. Mr. Nozaki just took over the conversation, as if he had discovered something, "Speaking of which, isn't Minami Saori-san's masterpiece "17"."
"This is a good year." Iwahashi Shinichi made a pun.
Another piece of the puzzle found its correct position and was pressed down gently and deftly.
However, no one here would know what he was thinking.
"By the way, is Iwahashi-san a fan of Nansa Ori-san?" Kenichiro Nozaki said to him, "It looks like he cares so much."
"I don't think so." Kazuo Hirai smiled, "If you are really a fan, you should be more sensitive about the year of your debut."
Nozaki Kenichiro thought for a moment and agreed, "That's right."
This topic was not continued. Not long after, the taxi arrived and the people who decided to participate in the renewal of the stall started to party again.
Public and private matters need to be kept separate. Iwahashi Shinichi also put aside what he was thinking about for the time being and relaxed for a while.
I took it easy tonight, and by the morning of the next day I was full of energy and could do whatever I had to do.
