After leaving the recording studio, Shinichi Iwahashi led Haruko Akamatsu into a nearby small coffee shop.
No matter how many times it happened, whenever I walked with Akamatsu Haruko, I could feel the eyes of others on her. As a boss who didn't know the beauty of his subordinates, it was only at this time that he deeply realized the fact that she was really a beauty.
Iwahashi Shinichi picked up the menu and asked, "Can you drink coffee tonight?"
"A little bit..." Akamatsu Haruko replied. Iwahashi Shin thought for a while, "Then it would be better to drink something else."
Finally, he asked for coffee, and Akamatsu Haruko ordered apple juice.
After ordering, it was Akamatsu Haruko who spoke first, "You are so busy and you came here to see me."
Iwahashi Shinichi told her not to worry, and then waited for Akamatsu Haruko, who was embarrassed because she asked him to meet during the busiest time, to explain her purpose.
Akamatsu Haruko and Iwahashi Shinichi don't meet often, and they can't be said to be very familiar with each other. When she wants to say something, she always has to have a period of silence to think about it.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew her personality and didn't rush her.
Finally, Akamatsu Haruko spoke up and said, "Actually, I want to introduce someone to you."
"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi was quite interested.
Seiichiro Kuribayashi, who is doing the leading job in the recording studio at the moment, was recommended by Akamatsu Haruko. Judging from Seiichiro Kuribayashi's performance after joining Genzo, Akamatsu Haruko also has her own vision in looking at people.
However, before that, the first thing he thought of was the promise Akamatsu Haruko had made to personally find a vocalist who could take her place and resurrect Abnormal.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought of this and took Akamatsu Haruko's feelings into consideration, so he didn't say anything. However, seeing his immediate interest, Akamatsu Haruko's face became hot for no reason.
She has not forgotten the promise she made to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Because of her, Abnormal has entered a de facto state of hiatus. Previously, Band Heaven’s show had just started, and everything was unknown. But now, DreamseTrue has won the championship and signed with CBS Sony. Also, Genzo followed Shinichi Iwahashi when it was first established.
The band Abnormal has stagnated.
The promise has not been fulfilled, and Abnormal can only continue to wait. Akamatsu Haruko said nothing, but she was more anxious than anyone else. Tonight, Hirakawa Tatsuya met in the recording studio, and Hirakawa Tatsuya's considerateness made her even more uncomfortable.
.
From joining the band to deciding to quit and go behind the scenes, Akamatsu Haruko understood what it means to be considerate of others and treat others sincerely amid this hesitation, guilt and shame.
However, if growth requires a price, this kind of representation that hurts others is too heavy.
Now, as if she sensed what Shinichi Iwahashi might be thinking, Akamatsu Haruko slowly spoke after feeling ashamed: "Do you still remember that during the first period of Band Paradise, there was a band called bolan?"
"bolan?" Shinichi Iwahashi searched in his mind.
From the first episode of the show to now, he has reviewed countless bands. Unless they have performed impressively, it is difficult to leave an impression on them.
Akamatsu Haruko was not surprised, and explained: "Bolan's lead singer and I met several times by chance."
"oh."
"When he competed, it was very similar to the first time I performed on stage." Akamatsu Haruko said this, feeling a little uncomfortable, but continued, "When the examiner interrupted the performance, everyone was at a loss.
.”
"However, he was much more solid than me and did not stop." Akamatsu Haruko said this and smiled slightly.
Iwahashi Shinichi did not interrupt her.
"Although it is a band classified as a failure, after listening to his original works, I felt that it was not that bad, or that it should be said that it has impressive abilities." Akamatsu Haruko said.
"Well."
"The lead singer's surname is Moritomo Moritomo-san, and the problem was not just because of timidity. He had never thought about standing on stage before, so he also lacked relevant stage experience."
"I never thought about standing in front of the stage." Iwahashi Shin repeated this sentence in a low voice, frowned, and calmly said, "Then what?"
Akamatsu Haruko has a delicate personality and is somewhat aware of something.
However, after being urged by him, she did not have time to think any more, and continued: "Moriyu-san has been watching Band Paradise. I admire your project and respect you very much. So, I want to meet you and listen to
Let’s see what you think of his music.”
"Want to listen to my opinion?" Iwahashi Shinichi smiled after hearing this, and then returned to his normal state, "It's hard to say whether I can give you any decent opinion, but it doesn't matter if you want to see me... Although I'm very busy recently, I want to
You really need to make an appointment to meet.”
"Then, please allow me to make an appointment with you on behalf of Moriyu-san." Akamatsu Haruko followed up skillfully.
Iwahashi Shinichi acquiesced to her statement, took out his itinerary, and finally made a reservation for the morning of next Saturday. After making the decision, Iwahashi Shinichi asked again, "Do you think that Moritomo-san is very talented?"
"Yes, but it should be a talent that is not suitable for winning in the draft competition." Akamatsu Haruko said this, and she smiled first, "...This is a fact that has already happened."
"That's what I said, I roughly understand what you mean." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
There are singers who are suitable for participating in auditions and becoming a blockbuster on the show. At the same time, there are also singers who need to be hidden and polished slowly before debuting step by step. Regarding this matter, Shinichi Iwahashi has reviewed so many bands and has experienced it.
Very profound.
Since Akamatsu Haruko said Moritomo Rashi was talented, Iwahashi Shinichi was also willing to meet him.
After finishing talking about Moritomo Arashi, the topic stopped here for a while.
Iwahashi Shinichi took a sip of coffee and said with emotion, "Drink instant coffee first and then this. I'm really happy."
Although it was the truth, it was somewhat of a deliberate joke when it was said like this. Akamatsu Haruko understood that this was a way of releasing his goodwill, and relaxed a little.
But then, Shinichi Iwahashi caught her off guard, "I haven't seen Hirakawa-san for a while."
Akamatsu Haruko was startled after hearing this.
"Before, Hirakawa-san has been touring with her, and the contract has just ended, so now she's here to help." Shinichi Iwahashi didn't seem to care much about her performance, and continued.
"The tour contract between Kawazoe-san and Koyanagi-san ends in October and ends in December."
Although Shinichi Iwahashi was busy with DreamseTrue, he never forgot about Abnormal. After the band went on hiatus, he used the contacts he had accumulated as a manager and planner Naon no Yaon to get three tour contracts.
As a touring musician, the income is considerable. This way, the three members can be stabilized for the time being, leaving Akamatsu Haruko time.
