The name of the original idol Minami Saori and her masterpiece "17" are also familiar to Nakamori Akina.
Unlike buying songs from abroad to cover, "17 Years Old" is already a familiar classic to the Japanese. How to re-make a cover of a classic and leave an impression on the public's mind is quite a challenge.
Sexual things.
Therefore, Nakamori Akina's curiosity comes not so much from Iwahashi Shinichi's decision to let Moritaka Chisato cover "17 Years Old", but rather from curiosity about how Iwahashi Shinichi, as a producer, would produce and handle such a song.
A classic song.
"It's not easy to cover famous songs. It won't work even if you don't do it well, and it won't work if you just keep a balance but don't make it unique."
Shinichi Iwahashi received Akina Nakamori's curiosity and invited him, "Would you like to come over and have a listen too?"
During the production of "Unbreakable", Akina Nakamori also invited him to listen to the demo tape of the song. Because of that past, it seems particularly natural when Shinichi Iwahashi invites Akina Nakamori in turn.
Hearing what he said, Nakamori Akina was a little tempted, "But..."
At this time, the elevator stopped and the gate opened. The two of them came out one after another. Akina Nakamori looked at her watch and hesitated, "Everything in the recording studio should be ready now."
Originally, I postponed my work to go to Okada Yukiko's concert. It would be unreasonable to leave the waiting staff aside and listen to the remix of "17 Years Old".
Iwahashi Shinichi expressed his understanding. It was just a smooth invitation that came here in a hurry. It doesn't matter if I can go to Chengdu or not.
However, Akina Nakamori thought about it and asked again: "Will the meeting be held soon?"
Looking at it this way, it seems that the curiosity about the song "17 Years Old" will not be easily eliminated.
"Almost." Shinichi Iwahashi recalled the progress, "The release date is very urgent. I will confirm it once. The final version will be decided before the end of this week. The next step is the pre-release process."
Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "So, it won't be long before the official single is released."
"Um……"
Akina Nakamori thought for a while, "In this case, after the single is released, I will buy it and listen to it."
"Thanks a lot."
Shinichi Iwahashi said a polite word in a decent manner, which made Akina Nakamori smile widely. Seeing her laughing so hard, she asked unhurriedly: "If you don't mind, after listening to it, can you comment on it?"
What do you think after listening to it?”
Regarding this cover attempt, Shinichi Iwahashi was also curious about the results.
"May I?"
"of course."
After Iwahashi Shinichi finished speaking, he added half-jokingly, "However, forget it for ordinary listening. Now that I want you to express your thoughts, I shouldn't let you buy it yourself. Instead, I should send you one before the official launch.
That's right...this is like a 'taster' in a store."
After hearing his statement, Nakamori Akina found it very interesting.
A naughty thought occurred in my heart, and I blurted out: "If this is the case, how about you send me one?"
"Why?"
It was originally a joke, but I didn't expect Taopu Shida to respond like this. Iwahashi Shinichi, who was counter-killed, had several question marks floating over his head.
It seemed that she had never seen such an expression on Iwahashi Shinichi's face. Nakamori Akina found it very interesting and felt a sense of accomplishment as if she had made a prank.
"Is it okay?" she asked with a small smile.
Iwahashi Shinichi reacted, as if he was digesting the strange sense of accomplishment in Topo Star's tone, as if he had never seen such an expression on his face. This was also the first time for Iwahashi Shinichi to taste Nakamori Akina.
prank tricks.
At the same time, I also saw another side of Akina Nakamori.
Then, he nodded, "Of course it's no problem... In this case, after the single is produced and before it is officially distributed, I can send one to your office, okay?"
Iwahashi Shinichi, who was gradually regaining his strength after being counterattacked, said with the idea of regaining some ground, "When the time comes, I will leave it to you to tell you what you think?"
"Please don't worry." Nakamori Akina showed a cheerful expression and assured him: "I am a child of the shopping street. After receiving the 'test product', I must give serious feedback. Regarding this kind of conventional rule,
It’s crystal clear.”
She gave it up when she saw fit, giving Shinichi Iwahashi room to regain his position.
"Sounds really reliable," Shinichi Iwahashi said with a smile. Akina Nakamori, who said this, looked a bit like a girl showing off her biceps to prove that she was very energetic.
Having said that, although the bulging muscles don't look spectacular, they are quite strong and really make people feel very reliable.
"As expected of a shopping street kid." He deliberately used her words to say something back to her.
Such ridicule made Akina Nakamori laugh.
"So……"
At this point, Iwahashi Shinichi took the initiative and said to her, "Since everything is ready in the recording studio, I won't delay you any longer."
"The same goes for you, please go and do your work." Akina Nakamori nodded slightly at him, thinking of something, "Then..."
"See you next time." Iwahashi Shin said the secret code first.
Nakamori Akina was robbed by him, so she smiled and replied, "See you next time, Iwahashi-san."
By this time, she had forgotten the reason why she deliberately found a topic to talk about in the first place. The chatting here and there along the way had made Akina Nakamori feel good and relaxed.
…
After that, the two said goodbye politely, and Akina Nakamori walked to the left to work on her recording. In her dedicated recording studio, at this moment, all the staff, including her manager and recording studio, were already there to prepare.
Ready.
Shinichi Iwahashi walked to the right. Although he came to the recording studio on a temporary basis, he came anyway, so he went to the recording studio to confirm the mixing version in advance.
I decided to come here on the spur of the moment, and naturally there was nothing like making an appointment. After saying hello to the recording studio staff, Iwahashi Shinichi entered the recording studio by himself. When he turned on the lights, everything inside was in a "rest" state.
in the state.
Anyway, it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, so there was no pressure, so he took his time and checked the mixes of each version slowly. While listening, he felt satisfied at first and wanted to give a high score.
At least for him personally, he can be sure that Chisato Moritaka's version of "17 Years Old" is a completely different cover from Nan Saori's original song. If such a cover, it would be qualified as a hit single for a rising idol.
Shinichi Iwahashi is confident about this single.
Of course, he was also curious about what kind of feedback Akina Nakamori would give him later.
