Iwahashi Shinichi was so efficient that he sent the c/w song to Akimoto Yasu's office the next day.
At this time, there is still a little more than a month before the scheduled official release date. Subtracting various post-production and printing and distribution matters, the fat young man does not have much time left, only about a week.
By the time he handed in the manuscript, the A-side featuring "17 Years Old" was going smoothly, and the recording had almost come to an end, which was a perfect transition to the production of the C/W song.
Although the B-side song has received much less attention, it cannot be taken lightly.
Not everyone can be a lyricist. One J's singer has "The sky is waiting for misty rain, and I'm waiting for you", two J's singers have some "Please don't buckle everywhere, the trend needs to buckle". From this
This shows how important a good lyricist is to a singer.
No matter how good the song is, it can't be saved by the lyrics of "Love Business" and "Can't afford to be hurt".
Good lyricists and good composers are indispensable. Because of this, when royalties are distributed, lyricists and composers get the same amount.
When you already have a song, the job of writing lyrics is to find a way to serve the song, just like tailoring the song to suit the needs of the song, there is nothing to be careless about.
If you look at Miwa-chan, who is now forced to learn lyrics in the recording studio and has learned to doubt her life, you will know that it is not easy for even a young genius to perform freely in his own field.
To put it this way, the plump young man started out as a broadcast writer, then became a script producer, and then crossed over to become a lyricist and idol producer. The pen and his little gray brain cells were also favored by God.
…
When you are busy, time flies very fast.
While waiting for the lyrics of the fat young man, the production of the A-side of Chisato Moritaka's new single titled "17 Years Old" has come to an end. The band Heaven's Side, Banila's single has entered the pre-production stage, and Iwahashi Shinichi personally
Keep playing, and then personally produce a single for them.
This kind of spirit of being responsible to the end is really precious and rare in today's era of materialism and lack of warmth.
The process of producing a single for the winning band is very fast. After the preliminary preparations, I can go into the studio in the morning and have it all done before twelve o'clock in the evening. Once the recording is over, unless there is a need for additional recording, the singer's work ends there.
, and there was no chance of meeting the producer again after that.
In order not to destroy the public's dreams, the headgear cannot be taken off. Therefore, Masato Nakamura avoided the whole production of banila this time. Not only this time, he will not participate in music production-related matters in the future.
Masato Nakamura was replaced by Seiichiro Kuribayashi. Within a few days of joining the company, his song was used as the lead feature on the A-side of Chisato Moritaka's single. Although Chisato Moritaka was not a well-known idol, this progress made him very confident.
In addition, Seiichiro Kuribayashi felt reassured by the great success of Band Heaven. Although he did not benefit from this success, it allowed him to see the prospects of genzo and Shinichi Iwahashi's talent.
It's not enough to have charisma, you have to be practical.
After taking the reassurance, Seiichiro Kuribayashi settled down to be his composer at Genzo. While honing himself, he followed the young boss and became an entrepreneurial veteran.
…
Even when the producer's work schedule was full, Shinichi Iwahashi took some time out to win the fourth round of Band Paradise together with Nakamura-san and Miwa-chan, which was extremely efficient.
No matter what kind of band appears on the field and what kind of performance they bring, even if the audience feels that they have threatened DreamseTrue, when the three of them come on stage, they can deliver a crushing general attack. This kind of
The competition mode is extremely fun.
It's a crushing performance. You can't feel the joy just by looking at the results. If you want to feel the power of DreamSeTrue, you have to watch it from beginning to end, and the experience will be more profound.
Because of this, the ratings for the few episodes they have appeared in have been very stable, even slightly higher than the band Heaven's usual ratings.
After winning the fourth round as expected, the next battle will be the decisive battle. If you win this one, you will leap over the dragon gate from now on. If you lose this one... I'm sorry, they are here for the king.
Lose? It doesn’t exist!
Just so confident!
In this decision-making battle, the three people discussed it and finally unanimously approved the decision to sing "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!" again.
Just like "Once a Week Lover" is the "win or lose" song that Miwa-chan connects with Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura, this song "So Happy!" was born when she learned that her existing song had become a waste song.
"So happy! I love it so much!" is their "deciding song" on the band's paradise stage.
Of course, the first performance cannot be copied in its entirety. Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura re-arranged the song in an attempt to present a more improved version.
…
"Very good, let's take a rest first."
In the recording studio, Shinichi Iwahashi gave instructions to the recording studio opposite through the microphone. Chisato Moritaka took off his headphones, used his fingers to tidy up his long hair that was messed up by the headphones, and came out of the recording studio.
"According to this progress, the recording part of the c/w song will be almost done after one or two more sessions." Shinichi Iwahashi motioned for Chisato Moritaka to sit down, "The performance is getting better and better."
After hearing what he said, Sentaka Chisato smiled humbly, pulled out his chair and sat down.
"Teacher Akimoto knows how to figure out girls' hearts." Shinichi Iwahashi held the lyrics in his hand again.
The lyrics provided to Chisato Moritaka this time, although they were c/w songs, were not compromised at all. They didn’t fool him with lyrics like “wowwow~yeahyeah~sukisuki”, which was quite interesting.
"Hmm..." Sentaka Chisato responded.
Iwahashi Shinichi saw this reaction and asked: "Do you have anything you want to say, Mori Taka-san?" He smiled at her and said, "If you want to say something, just say it. Producers and singers should pay attention to communication."
"Yes." Chisato Moritaka considered it for a moment and said: "Akimoto-sensei's lyrics are very good, and he also understands girls very well. However, the girl's heart written in the lyrics may be said to be the 'ideal girl's heart'
.”
"The ideal girl's heart." Iwahashi Shinichi repeated the word once and couldn't help but smile.
"That's an interesting thing to say," he said.
Sentaka Chisato showed an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, that's too arrogant to say..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Teacher Akimoto." Iwahashi Shinichi comforted her. Then he changed the topic and said, "Besides, I think what you said may not be wrong."
"The ideal girl's heart is indeed like this. However, if I want to add something," he said, "the reason why he can write about the ideal girl's heart is that Mr. Akimoto also has a very thorough understanding of male psychology."
The girl in the lyrics that Yasushi Akimoto wrote to her is actually a girl in the ideal male state, and what Chisato Moritaka wants to say is nothing more than this.
After being enlightened by Shin Iwahashi, Chisato Moritaka felt a little embarrassed about being seen through and did not answer the question. In any case, it is easy for a young idol to comment on the lyrics of a well-known lyricist, which can easily leave the impression of arrogance.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't take it to heart at all, and instead asked: "Mori Taka-san understands music theory, so can he also write lyrics?"
Filling in lyrics and writing lyrics are not the same thing. Having the music first and then writing the lyrics is called "filling in".
"Huh?" Chisato Moritaka reacted, "You can write..."
"That's good." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "If you are asked to write lyrics for the song, that's all you can do."
"I'll give you some demos later," Shinichi Iwahashi said. "I've seen a lot of the lyrics you wrote, but I haven't asked you to try to write lyrics on the music. Can you give it a try?"
"Yes, I will work hard!" Chisato Moritaka accepted his challenge.
She is not a stupid girl. From writing lyrics to giving lyrics to songs for her, Iwahashi Shinichi showed some attitude. This gave her a little hope.
After receiving the ideal answer, Iwahashi Shinichi nodded with satisfaction, looked at the time, "Rest for ten minutes, and then we'll start... Unfortunately today, it's rare that you have time at night, but I can't get away from it."
"You have been accommodating me so far." Chisato Moritaka said.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't answer, "Just think of it as a vacation. I can go out with friends on Saturday night."
…
I couldn't get away from it on Saturday night, of course for the Band Heaven competition.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the recording ended on time. Iwahashi Shinichi packed his things and prepared to leave. After leaving the recording studio and walking out, he glanced at the corridor and saw Akina Nakamori and her manager walking this way.
Shinichi Iwahashi paused in his steps. When the agent opposite saw him, he took the initiative to say hello to him: "Iwahashi-san?"
As soon as Omoto opened his mouth, Shinichi Iwahashi walked over and said, "Omoto-san."
After saying hello to Omoto, I looked over his shoulder and landed on Nakamori Akina's face. She stayed politely for a while and said, "Hello, Nakamori-san."
"Long time no see, Iwahashi-san." The boss' manager warmly greeted him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Nakamori Akina, who originally wanted to say something to Iwahashi Shinichi, took it back.
"yes."
"The last time we met was at the office's reception." Da Ben recounted the past.
I used to know that Nakamori Akina knew him, but Omoto never took it to heart. It wasn't until he learned at the office reception that he had a good relationship with Nozaki Kenichiro that Omoto took a new look at him.
"That's right." Shinichi Iwahashi responded politely and asked casually: "Is Nakamori-san here to record?"
Akina Nakamori took the words and said, "Yes."
Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes fell on her face again, and Nakamori Akina gave him a small smile.
I met her once after the New Year, and it has only been a little more than two months since then. Compared with the one I saw at the reception, Akina Nakamori seemed to be a little thinner. She was very small, and she was obviously just an ordinary backward big-time broker.
He has only one shoulder, but he gives people the feeling that he is hiding behind his big boss.
"Iwahashi-san is here to record too?"
When the conversation reached Nakamori Akina, she continued.
Being deprived of the conversation, the manager subconsciously moved to the side. Akina Nakamori, who had been "hiding" behind his shoulder just now, finally got to see her "true face". But this "true face" looked worse than
You still have to be thin while hiding behind your big boss.
However, although thin, it is not an unhealthy body shape.
"Well. Today's recording just ended."
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her politely, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
Hearing what he said, Akina Nakamori smiled and replied a bit naughtily, "Accident is inevitable."
"Haha." Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but laugh when he remembered that he said this to Akina Nakamori, and now that she had said it back.
"That's right." There was a smile in his eyes.
The two people's eyes naturally met and looked at her face. At this time, he noticed the faint dark circles under Nakamori Akina's eyes. If he looked carefully, she looked a little tired.
"You've been working very hard lately, haven't you?" Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Winning the Record Awards three times in a row, this feat suddenly propelled Akina Nakamori to the forefront of the industry. Her peak period has lasted from the end of 1987 to the present, and her popularity is still at its peak.
For an industry that is changing very quickly, this is truly a miracle.
"The schedule is very tight..." Akina Nakamori withdrew her gaze, unconsciously falling on the wall, and then drifting from the wall to Shinichi Iwahashi's shoulder.
The erratic look in his eyes made Iwahashi Shinichi guess that it was probably not just because of his tight schedule.
However, there was still a big manager here, so he couldn't say much. Besides, it was precisely because he knew that this was not the time to speak that Nakamori Akina was vague.
In this case, Shinichi Iwahashi simply said: "Although work is important, please also pay attention to your health."
"Yes." Nakamori Akina replied.
After saying this, neither of them spoke, and the air fell into silence for a moment.
Iwahashi Shinichi was about to leave, and after thinking for a while, he mentioned: "Speaking of which, the last day of this month is Ms. Okada Yukiko's retirement concert."
"Are you going to see it then?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked frankly.
Akina Nakamori looked at him and nodded, "Of course I want to cheer for Yukiko's last performance."
"I think so." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, said nothing more, and simply said goodbye, "Then I won't waste your time. See you next time."
"See you next time, Iwahashi-san." Akina Nakamori replied.
But I was thinking in my heart that the previous "see you next time" was an unfettered fate, but this time "see you next time" was different. It was an agreement with a date and place.
…
For a moment of distraction, Shinichi Iwahashi had already finished greeting his manager.
The two parties nodded to each other and stepped forward. Nakamori Akina went to the recording studio to prepare for her work, and Iwahashi Shinichi walked out of the recording studio, had something to eat, and then met Nakamura-san and Miwa-chan.
After coming out of the recording studio and sitting in the Suzuki lunch box, his identity became the Giraffe Man again.
When he was approaching TV Asahi, Iwahashi Shin put on his hood. When he drove into the parking lot and got out of the car, Miwa-chan held his shoulders and straightened his hood.
"Perfect."
Miwa-chan showed a big smile, took his hand, and extended her other hand to Nakamura Masato. When Nakamura brother also took her hand, she said with full energy in a tone of announcing some important event.
: "Let's go, dreamsetrue!"
The three of them went to take the elevator with familiar faces. They became familiar with each other once and twice, not to mention this was the fifth time.
Of course, in order not to become a crab-infested state, we definitely didn’t walk hand in hand.
