420. Hands-on Teaching

Although Iwahashi Shinichi has done something insignificant in the television industry, he has only made a footprint there. At this gathering, which was dominated by people from the television industry, his presence was not strong.

However, with the arrival of Juri Goto, there is one more person who does not have a strong presence in the television industry.

Although the fat young man is a script writer, as a lyricist, he can also be regarded as a "music person". Of course, this boundary does not have to be so clear.

There are a lot of people who change careers halfway, and the cooperation between the music industry and the television industry will never stop.

The handsome talent who is here with Gotojiri today is also a lyricist who started his career in the television industry. His name is Hiromi Mori. Like the fat young man, he started out as a broadcast writer for a television station.

He first wrote scripts for a few years at a TV station, but he never produced any major programs. By chance, he was introduced and wrote the lyrics for "danebeat は夜明けまで" for Yoko Oginome.

At that time, Oginome Yoko was becoming popular with her cover of "daninghero (eatyouup)". He took the opportunity at the right time and entered the music industry to become an idol lyricist. Instead, his job as a broadcast writer was put aside.

The work that Hiromi Mori established as a lyricist was "Dream Adventure" written for Noriko Sakai.

If you see the song title "Dream Adventure", Shinichi Iwahashi's rabbit country spirit will probably make him first think, "I want to take risks because of you, and my heart holds the dream tightly."

However, before it became a commercial song for Panasonic Electric, this song was the theme song of the animated film "The Three Musketeers" which aired in October 1987, and Hiromi Mori was the author of the Japanese version of the lyrics.

After writing "Dream Adventure", Hiromi Mori firmly established herself as an idol lyricist, and later wrote lyrics for male and female idols such as Yukari Morikawa and the Boy Band. Currently, she is not well-known in the industry and is an affordable idol.

Imperial lyricist.

The fat young man built a bridge of communication and introduced Gotojiri and Mori Hiromi to Iwahashi Shinichi.



Iwahashi Shinichi is not very interested in the fat young man's good friend. He is more interested in Mori Hiromi than the composer who is different from him.

In fact, this meeting with Mori Hiromi was also facilitated by the fat young man.

When Genzo was preparing for a record company, lyricists were still a scarce resource. In this regard, Shinichi Iwahashi's connections were pitiful, and he was just a fat young man.

I plan to use Abnormal as the record company’s first release, so for that, I have to consider Sachiko Kamaiike.

After deciding to form a partnership with the record company and then going to negotiate with Star Office, Shinichi Iwahashi was trying to avoid suspicion, and also because he had promised Sachiko Kamaike to leave everything to him, and the matter hadn't been settled yet, so it was inconvenient to say anything to her.

On the other hand, Akamatsu Haruko still maintains a relationship with her as a friend, and the two girls occasionally make appointments to meet.

Before you get it, some things need to be prepared in advance, and you can't think of solutions after the fact.

He had learned about Kamai Sachiko's resume and knew that she majored in English when she studied at a junior college.

However, this all-girls junior high school is not so much about educating talents as it is about teaching these girls something to cope with OL affairs. It gives them a job before they get married, which is like a transition in life.

In other words, she is a true blank slate.

Sachiko Kamaike is not from a professional background, but she is naturally gifted with a good voice. After she was signed, she first had to ask a teacher to teach her how to sing starting from the basics.

Money comes back well. If you don't know how to speak scientifically, your voice will be destroyed sooner or later. At this point, Miwa-chan has done a good job and is a model of the perfect fusion of talent and nurture.

It is not difficult to find singing teachers. There are such music classrooms everywhere. Even if you are a teacher who has taught famous singers, it is not difficult to ask him to help teach a student.

However, it was difficult to find a teacher to teach her how to write lyrics.

Without the ability to compose music, if he wanted to join a band as the lead singer, he would have to write his own lyrics. This was something Shinichi Iwahashi decided early on.

So, let’s start from the very basics and teach Sachiko Kamaike how to write lyrics step by step.

Japanese has a limited number of pronunciations, so there is no need to be so demanding about rhymes, such as "The world is so big, and the mood is so bad, it's the scientists who are to blame." This kind of thing makes scientists suddenly hit one when they are working hard to do research.

Weird lyrics to The Big Sneeze.

However, this does not mean that Japanese lyrics are easy to write. On the contrary, it is more difficult to write good lyrics.

Don't underestimate the skill of a lyricist. Good lyrics and good music are both indispensable. Even some famous songs become famous not because of their outstanding music, but because the lyrics touch people's hearts.

Rather than teaching Kamai Sachiko how to write lyrics, Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to guide her on how to integrate the worldview of the musical world she built in her mind into the lyrics she wanted to express.

However, just because the skill of writing lyrics is secondary does not mean that it is unimportant.

There is no one in Genzo's current team who can play the role of a lyrics teacher. Shinichi Iwahashi can teach her the truth, but he can't teach her the skills of lyrics.

Miwa-chan is a genius at writing lyrics, but there is no room for another person in her lyrics world. Not only can others not teach her, but it is also not easy for others to learn from her.

After all, for a long time, lyrics and music appeared at the same time for her. Before she was forced to sit in front of a desk to learn how to write lyrics for Nakamura Masato's music, she never even had the trouble of racking her brains to write lyrics.

A genius favored by God not only makes people unable to envy her, but also makes people consciously put her among the "special cases".

...It's just like Sun Wukong.

When I was undecided about writing lyrics, I went to a fat young man. Iwahashi Shinichi was quite skilled.

However, he did not tell the fat young man about setting up a record company. He only said that he wanted to train a new person and needed someone to help teach him how to write lyrics. He hoped that he could introduce someone to him.

It’s not surprising that he doesn’t talk to the fat young man. Before the dust settles, the fewer people who know, the better, to avoid someone doing bad things along the way. However, if it’s not convenient to tell everything, you can tell half of it, but don’t lie.

Lies will consume trust, but smart people like the fat young man will not dig into the unspoken half.

The network of lyricists that is in urgent need of expansion can not only teach Kamai Sachiko to write lyrics, but also have the option of inviting lyricists when receiving production orders or producing other singers, which is a must-do.

And for a lyricist like Hiromi Mori, who has just become famous in the industry, she is eager to have a way to provide lyrics.

This is a win-win situation.
