When Mari Amaya returned home, she remembered her unexpected encounter with Shinichi Iwahashi. She stood in front of the entrance, flipped through the address book, and wanted to call him.
When Iwahashi Shinichi moved from Asafousou, he sent her a moving postcard. However, Amaya Mari only sent a New Year's postcard to his new address during the New Year, and never made this call once.
If I hadn't met by chance at CBS Sony today, I wouldn't have dialed this number today.
As the day went by, she already knew that when she met Iwahashi Shinichi in the morning, he and his band were going to a debut press conference. Because of this, she wanted to say congratulations to him in person.
The call was dialed, but no one answered it for a long time. While Amaya waited, he felt calm.
After it was automatically transferred to the voicemail, she thought for a while and left a message: "Iwahashi-san, good evening. I'm Amaya."
After putting down the phone, I couldn't help but feel a little funny when I thought of this message with no content. But the reason why I only reported my name was probably because I didn't want to leave a message on the phone to congratulate him.
That night, Shinichi Iwahashi did not return the call.
It wasn't until the next morning, before Amaya went out, that she received a call back from him.
"yesterday……"
After saying pleasantries on the phone, Amaya Mari was about to mention what happened yesterday.
"I saw you yesterday, Amaya-san." Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking about this, "What a coincidence."
Mari Amaya smiled silently, "Iwahashi-san, congratulations on your band's debut."
"Huh?" On the other end of the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi reacted.
Mari Amaya said: "You are the giraffe man of DreamseTrue, right?" After thinking about it, he realized that these words were a bit inconsistent, and added: "I watched the band's competition on TV."
"I see!" Shinichi Iwahashi said, half jokingly and half seriously: "If Amaya-san sees the name of the band and the lead singer, I won't be able to hide it from you."
Regarding his words, Amaya Mahori was noncommittal.
"But, are you also watching Band Paradise?" Iwahashi Shinichi was really surprised.
"Still a loyal audience." Mari Amaya replied a little mischievously, "If your show had appeared earlier, I would have proposed to Ishii-san and also participated."
"In that case, he must be the best candidate for the championship." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Hearing his answer, Amaya Mari laughed.
Although we haven’t contacted each other for a long time, the atmosphere when we call and chat now is not unfamiliar and awkward.
Mimi Club is on the right track, and Shinichi Iwahashi has become a producer from a nightclub waiter who seemed to have nothing to do with music.
Not only that, Yoshida Miwa possesses the kind of power that Amaya Mari envied, which can make Iwahashi Shinichi make a decision, and now it has also been responded to and harvested.
"That being said, it's all thanks to you that we are where we are now."
"I?"
"That's right, if you hadn't helped invite Santo Gomi as a supporting guitarist, allowing me to successfully set up a band, I wouldn't be here today." Iwahashi Shinichi heard Amaya Mari's congratulations, but he sincerely expressed his sincerity.
Thank her.
Talking about the past, Amaya Mari felt like he hadn't seen it for a long time.
"Come to think of it, your band didn't even have a guitarist in the end." She blurted out, recalling the game she watched on TV.
"Because after the bassist was found, Miwa-chan and I both felt that the configuration of a three-person team would be good. When we performed later, it was also very effective. The bassist Nakamura-san and I were on the left and right, which actually set off Yoshida.
Sang’s status. So I decided not to find new teammates and stayed with the trio.”
Anyway, speaking to Shinichi Iwahashi, Mari Amaya complained a little about his band, "In this regard, Mimi Club is just the opposite."
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help laughing when he heard that she was talking about the number of people in the band.
"Speaking of guitarists, what is Gomi-san doing now?"
Amaya Mari told him, "The last time I contacted Gomi-san was a long time ago. His band disbanded, and Gomi-san planned to be a teacher in the guitar classroom while finding new teammates to form a band."
"Yeah?"
Iwahashi Shinichi still remembered that Gomi Takaji had a salaryman band. Not only that, he also knew all about Gomi Takaji's outstanding guitar skills. Thinking of this, he said: "I wonder if Gomi-san is interested in joining my production company.
Come help."
"Yes, you have a production company called Genzo..."
"Although it's just a small room." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "That's why we need people like Gomi-san."
"Then I'll call Gomi-san." Amaya Mari took the initiative.
This straightforward energy was exactly the same as when he helped him contact Gomi Takashi to be a support musician.
…
This year, because the bandmates planned to concentrate on work, Gomi Takashi's salaryman band officially announced its disbandment.
In fact, if we persist in retaining the band and do some mobilization work, the band can continue to maintain itself. This was also the case in the past. Teammates who have become office workers would occasionally express their intention to quit, but every time this happened, they were all filial piety.
I went to communicate with my teammates and then walked all the way.
But now, Gomi Takashi himself doesn't want to continue like this.
His teammates will never regard the band as their job, just like he can never be a nine-to-five office worker.
As long as you realize this, you will know that this disagreement makes the band lose the meaning of continuing. So this time, when the teammates decided to leave, Gomi Takashi agreed.
Once he decided to disband the band, everyone, including himself, felt relieved.
When this was discovered, everyone felt that the decision to disband was extremely correct.
After disbanding this salaryman band, Gomi Takashi planned to form another band. This time it would no longer be a salaryman band that could only perform on stage on days off, but a band that could really go all out.
He has been following the currently popular band Heavenly Kingdom, and the popularity and topicality of the show seems to indicate that the next era will be an era for the band to achieve great success.
Gomi Takashi is planning to form a band, practice it, and then participate in shows.
Gomi Takashi was a little surprised when Mari Amaya, who had few personal relationships, suddenly called him. But what was even more surprising was the purpose of her call.
"Iwahashi-san would like to invite you to help in his production company."
"To help?"
Gomi Takashi has been following Band Tenkuni and knew that Shinichi Iwahashi was the planner of the show and Genzo was the production company he opened.
In less than two years, he has gone from a rookie manager who knew nothing to a rising figure in the industry and a somewhat famous figure in the underground music circle. Gomi Takashi admires him very much.
Although Dolimuzkomu Tulu made his debut through a program he produced, Gomi Takashi is well aware of the band's abilities and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
Even if the people who hate them the most sit there as censors, they can't ignore the brilliance of this band.
But despite this, Gomi Takashi was not very interested in the invitation sent by Amaya Mari to Iwahashi Shinichi.
