After the music stopped, the four people who had just formed a band exchanged glances with each other. Gomi Takashi smiled and greeted Aoki Kazuyoshi, and nodded slightly to Akamatsu Haruko.
This girl whom he mistakenly thought was an actress when he walked in just now, didn't expect that she was quite good at playing the piano.
Finally, Gomi Takashi's eyes fell on Moritomo Arashi.
This young man really knows how to sing.
Akamatsu Haruko lifted her fingers from the piano keys, accepted Gomi Takaji's gaze, returned the gesture with a shy expression, and then looked at Moritomo Arashi.
After the music stopped, Moritomo Arashi breathed a sigh of relief, and then a feeling of success filled his heart.
Putting down the keyboard and forgetting that he had an instrument in his hand, Moritomo Rashi had nothing to rely on, so he could only pay more attention to the musician's performance and try to strengthen communication with the musician.
In this way, he finally calmed down and immersed himself in the form of "band". The feeling of being outside the band, like oil floating on the water, disappeared.
Only then did he fully understand the true meaning of Shinichi Iwahashi asking him to give up the keyboard. He couldn't help but admire Shinichi Iwahashi's precise vision, and he also understood why Akamatsu Haruko admired him so much.
Kazuyoshi Aoki, who was the first to discover Moritomo Arashi's talents, performed with him, and he could somewhat feel that Moritomo Arashi was lacking in some areas, but he lacked Iwahashi Shinichi's ability to hit the nail on the head, so he couldn't tell the reason.
.
It wasn't until he asked Moritomo Arashi to give up the keyboard and perform again and provide a solution that the problem suddenly became extremely obvious.
As expected of Iwahashi-san!
When Aoki Kazuki looked at Moritomo Arashi, he was thinking about this in his heart.
Moritomo Rashi looked at Akamatsu Haruko and found that Akamatsu Haruko was also looking at him.
He was overjoyed and was about to greet her when he suddenly realized that not only Haruko Akamatsu, but everyone in the recording room was now focusing on him.
Being the focus of everyone's attention, Moritomo Rashi suddenly felt embarrassed and once again showed his sensitive and delicate nature.
At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi clapped his hands gently, "It's wonderful."
As he said these words, it was as if a spell had been lifted, and the reserved atmosphere in the recording room where we only greeted each other with eyes was broken and became lively.
Kazuyoshi Aoki, Moritomo Arashi's first assistant, did not hesitate to give praise at this time. Gomi Takashi not only thought Moritomo Arashi was a good vocalist, but also spoke highly of the other two.
Although the band's improvised appearance is obvious, Moritomo Arashi's performance is truly remarkable.
Only Akamatsu Haruko silently withdrew and stood aside.
Akamatsu Haruko had already learned about Iwahashi Shinichi's ability to hit the nail on the head.
Not only that, as he participated in the Band Heaven Review and met countless people, this ability was also strengthened, reaching the point where he was almost proficient.
When a novice band like this cucumber and egg came in front of him, it was obvious what the problem was.
After a temporary co-performance ended, everyone walked out of the recording room and sat around the table in the recording studio. Akamatsu Haruko went to make coffee for them, playing the role of the recording studio girl dutifully.
"Play the guitar happily today, Gomi-san." Shinichi Iwahashi spoke to Gomi Takashi first.
Gomi Takashi replied: "It's not as bad as the time when I went to be your support musician." As he said this, he felt a little envious of Iwahashi Shinichi and Aoki Kazuyoshi.
Of these two people, Shinichi Iwahashi discovered Miwa Yoshida, and Kazuyoshi Aoki attracted Moritomo Rashi. Takashi Gomi had never met such a person anyway.
If he could meet such a teammate, he would immediately go to Band Paradise.
After talking to Gomi Takashi, Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Moritomo Arashi and Aoki Kazuyoshi again, "Moritomo-san, how do you feel after you put down the keyboard?"
Moritomo Arashi replied a little shyly: "It's a bit unexpected."
Iwahashi Shinichi's suggestion worked, and Moritomo Rashi seemed to be the most obedient student in the class, answering his questions honestly.
"My advice to the band is, please give up the keyboard and focus on being the lead singer." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "To be honest, your singing talent is ten times better than your playing skills."
You can easily find a keyboard player of his caliber if you look for one, but such a steady vocalist is definitely a target to be competed for.
"If this is the case, the band will become a vocalist and a drummer."
Gomi Takashi was listening on the side, and with a thought in his mind, he said, "Do you mind if I interrupt?"
He introduced himself, "That's right, I used to have a band, but it has been disbanded, and now it's the period of being a ronin with nothing to do. So..."
Gomi Takashi paused, "I think you two are very good. If possible, could you treat the co-performance just now as an interview for me as a guitarist?"
"Why?"
Gomi Takaji suddenly said this, Moritomo Rashi and Aoki Kazuyoshi both looked surprised. Iwahashi Shinichi also looked at Gomi Takaji.
Gomi Takashi didn't think it was inappropriate to recommend himself to the band he met for the first time, and calmly waited for the two people's replies.
Previously, when Amaya Mari conveyed Iwahashi Shinichi's invitation to him, Gomi Takashi was not expecting it, but now, he felt from the bottom of his heart that his decision to come and see Iwahashi Shinichi was the right one.
Although it was not his own band, but his joining someone else's band, the opportunity to work with such a person was not to be missed.
I'm not here to destroy your band, I'm here to join your band!
Moritomo Arashi exchanged glances with Aoki Kazuyoshi, and after a silent exchange, he replied: "That would be such an honor, Gomi-san."
"I hope that the performance just now can also be your interview for me and Moritomo-kun." Aoki Kazuyoshi said.
Gomi Takashi immediately expressed his position, "The result of my interview is of course 'perfect score'." At the same time, he said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "With the level of the two of them, it will not be a problem to join Band Paradise."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became slightly more delicate.
The most open-minded Kazuyoshi Aoki laughed at himself: "Gomi-san, Moritomo-san and I went to the band Heaven, but we were kicked out as soon as we got on the stage."
Although it is true that he was eliminated, this description is exaggerated.
Moritomo Arashi was amused by Aoki Kazuyoshi's exaggerated description. The earlier gloom had dissipated, and now he could laugh at the failure. He said to Gomi Takashi, "That's exactly it."
Gomi Takashi was startled and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi with an expression that showed that such a talent could be dismissed.
Iwahashi Shinichi was confident and unmoved by his eyes at all.
what is this?
Haven't you seen Seiko Matsuda become a top idol after being eliminated from "Star! Birth"?
Didn't you see that Taopusida was defeated by "Star! Birth" twice in a row and finally won the championship?
Didn’t you see that even if Matsumoto Akiko wins the championship, she can only transform and become an artist?
After all, the draft is just a starting point, just one of many paths to success.
…
With the new guitarist in place, Bolan has also upgraded from a twosome to a threesome, becoming the most stable relationship.
Since drums are included in the band's configuration, its good partner, bass, is also indispensable.
Compared with the triangle relationship, which is the most stable relationship, for them, a configuration with all four corners may be more suitable.
It doesn't matter if there is no guitarist like Gomi Takashi who comes to my door. Then I can just open up for an interview with one.
Selection meetings sound like a great thing, but they happen every day in the underground music circle.
Bands and musicians are critical of each other. How many bands have I wandered around and how many auditions have I participated in before I feel that the current one is the best choice?
Moritomo Arashi and Aoki Kazuyoshi were accepted as disciples by Iwahashi Shinichi. Gomi Takashi has a new affiliation and is willing to join Genzo. With the help of Iwahashi Shinichi, the three of them will conduct a public interview for a bassist and have a positive attitude towards the band.
Reorganize.
After the reorganization, they will hone their skills at livehouse performances in Tokyo, and at the same time complete the running-in between teammates. After participating in the talent show, Moritomo Rashi now wants to do things down-to-earth rather than looking for shortcuts.
As a result, Gomi Takashi's wish to take the band to Band Paradise came to nothing. He had a small regret, but he was not disappointed. This is not the only way to success, he just chose another one now.
From the moment he co-starred with these two people and offered to join the band, there was no doubt that the band would not succeed.
Gomi Takashi thought to himself that when Shinichi Iwahashi asked him to be a support musician for DreamseTrue, the band was just a grassroots team that only took one day to form. Compared with Dreamsetrue at that time, Bolan's current situation is not a hundred times better.
, also eighty times.
In addition to honing their performance skills, they also participated in music production at Shinichi Iwahashi's suggestion, in order to become familiar with the music production process, hone their arrangement skills, and prepare to be independent in the future.
During this period, the songs they wrote will also be given priority in Genzo's music library. Having just received Chisato Moritaka's production fees and the first sales share, the company now has plenty of money to buy songs.
With a rich music library, I feel confident when accepting orders.
…
"Anyway, that's it."
In Watanabe Manyumi's office, Iwahashi Shinichi told her the ins and outs of the incident, "Akamatsu-san kept quiet and brought a band back."
"Haruko is pretty amazing."
Watanabe Wan Yumi picked up the magazine on her desk and walked over, "You have a certain way of doing things."
She has always had a very good impression of Akamatsu Haruko.
"Indeed, and he has a good eye for people." Shin Iwahashi knew that the relationship between the two was going well when he heard Watanabe Wanyumi call Akamatsu Haruko by her first name.
"Since it is the band she brought back, Bolan will also leave it to her to select a bass player."
"If you do this, you can be regarded as the band's manager."
"It's not bad that she's doing all the work of an agent." Iwahashi Shinichi changed the topic, "However, I don't admit that she is a real agent. Otherwise, the negotiation of live house performances will be left to her.
"
After hearing this, Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but smile, "It's so cunning to let her be the agent without admitting that she is a real agent."
"Even if it's a bit long, there's always a trial period."
"You really dare to say that." Watanabe Wan Yumi laughed at his appearance as a black-hearted boss. But in her heart, she also knew that Iwahashi Shinichi was still worried about the problems Akamatsu Haruko left at Abnormal, so she didn't let go.
She did understand Iwahashi Shinichi's approach, and also understood that the reason why he didn't let go was because he was taking care of the thoughts of Akamatsu Haruko and other abnormal people. Because of this, she didn't expose him.
Even so, she still said something for Akamatsu Haruko, "I have always admired Haruko."
"Are you going to poach his employees in front of the president again?" Shinichi Iwahashi teased her.
Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled slightly and followed his words, "If you are willing to nod, I will take action immediately."
"It's quite principled," Shinichi Iwahashi said with a smile.
Watanabe Wan Yumi did not answer the question and sat down on another sofa, "Speaking of which, I don't remember reviewing such a band."
"How can you remember something like that so clearly?" Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Besides, it's not surprising even if an excellent band is eliminated. There are always bands that are not suitable for debuting through auditions and are suitable for hiding and polishing slowly.
.”
"For example, Tajima-kun's original love."
"really."
"Speaking of which, I want to tell you something related to OriginalLove," Watanabe Manyumi told him, "Toshiba Emi listened to the band's demo tape and wanted to sign them. This period of polishing is half the success.
.”
"Hmm." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
This is U-Miz's official business, but the person who originally suggested signing them was Shinichi Iwahashi, and later asked them to help out a little bit, and everything that followed was handled by U-Miz.
So now that Watanabe Manyumi said it, he just listened and did not express his own opinions.
Shin Iwahashi is very clear on these matters, just like Watanabe Wanyumi also knows where the boundaries are and doesn't dictate genzo's matters. There is such a tacit understanding between these two people.
"Also, Kariyushi, taking advantage of Begin, the debut song is also doing well. For a newcomer, it has achieved good shipments."
"besides……"
"What else?" Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her, "Have you been so fruitful recently?"
"Of course." Watanabe Manyumi also smiled, "And DreamseTrue, who is about to debut."
…
After speaking half in a joke and half in a serious tone, Watanabe Wan Yumi handed him the magazine she had just held in her hand, "By the way, have you read this?"
"What?" Shinichi Iwahashi picked it up. It was a music magazine called "MusicLife".
"There is a music review of Chisato Moritaka's "17" on it," Watanabe Manyumi explained.
"Really?" Shinichi Iwahashi was a little interested and wanted to know what the music critics wrote.
The music review was not very long, and the first sentence at the beginning was: The magic hand of exaggeration finally reached out to the memory of youth.
"You have quite a venomous tongue." He read the beginning and laughed.
