After dinner, the four of them gathered in the living room.
After a busy day during the day, there is only one family together now, and the atmosphere is comfortable and leisurely. The two sisters Yoshida Miki and Watanabe Manyumi are also very harmonious, talking and laughing constantly.
One of the ways to promote feelings between relatives is to change from a familiar environment to a relatively unfamiliar one together.
Yoshida Miki reported the affairs of the office to Watanabe Misaki, and Yoshida Masaki occasionally expressed his opinions beside him.
Watanabe Mayumi drank whiskey with ice while listening to the conversation between her sister, brother-in-law, and mother.
When a topic ended, the four people fell silent in unison, and the air became quiet. But it was not that there was nothing to say, it was like handing over the baton of the topic.
Watanabe Manyumi naturally took over the baton and said, "The segmented ratings of the Kohaku Song Contest were sent to the office this evening. When Dreams Come True performed, the ratings were 43.8. Among the debut singers, the ratings were 43.8.
The second tallest.”
"After the Red and White Song Concert, among the calls made to the TV station for inquiries, Dreams Come True was the most popular among the singers."
The band's performance and song selection at the Red and White Song Festival were well received.
She continued, "The response to the advertising campaign has been very good. From the Red and White Song Contest to today, the album has sold 50,000 copies...the sales trend is on the rise."
The sales trend is getting better day by day, which is a prelude to an explosion.
There is no need for Watanabe Manyumi to speak directly, as long as she reveals a few signals, everyone here will know it.
Before Watanabe Manyumi could speak, Yoshida Masaki smiled and said: "Iwahashi-kun's plan was a big success this time."
Watanabe Wan Yumi also smiled, "Yes."
This time, Dreams Come True's album is a top-notch album in every aspect. With the support of such a publicity strategy, it is expected that it will be successful.
Just now, after receiving the information from the agency, Watanabe Manyumi had a phone call with producer Ashida from Sony. The other party was also very optimistic about the prospects of this album. The two parties reached a consensus to release all the albums in the warehouse.
preparation.
Watanabe Mayumi is in a very good mood.
This good mood is not only the success of the band, but now announcing this success to my mother, sister and brother-in-law, at the same time, I also feel a little proud.
Even though she didn't say it out loud, Watanabe Wanyumi was still fighting in her heart.
"Why does that man have so many wonderful ideas?" Yoshida Masaki praised Iwahashi Shinichi to Watanabe Mayumi, "I'm almost becoming a supporter of Iwahashi-kun. No matter what he wants to do, he just needs to come up with ideas.
Come and vote for it unconditionally."
This is of course an exaggeration, but Masaki Yoshida’s admiration for Shinichi Iwahashi is no longer concealed.
Miki Yoshida was speechless for a while while listening to the conversation between her husband and her sister.
She has always disliked Iwahashi, and she still hasn't changed her mind. However, at this moment, when Wan Yumi mentioned Iwahashi Shinichi, she felt mixed feelings in her heart, but she didn't dislike him or resent him.
Yoshida Miki still didn't like Iwahashi Shinichi, but as his ideas emerged one after another, each one of them had wonderful results.
His sister obeyed his advice, her husband was full of praise for him, and although her mother's attitude was ambiguous, she seemed to have some expectations for him.
Shinichi Iwahashi clearly left Watanabe Productions, but unknowingly, his weight in this family became heavier and heavier.
Now, even Yoshida Miki has a hazy feeling in her heart.
She wants to know, how far can Iwahashi Shinichi go? Where is this person's limit? Will he not fail?
Yoshida Miki's heart was in turmoil.
At this time, I heard Misa Watanabe say, ""Future Vision II" is a wonderful song choice, especially at this juncture."
She looked at her mother.
Misa Watanabe did not mention the confession method of flashing the brake lights five times, nor did she talk about Miwa Yoshida's expressiveness, but mentioned another place, "In this song, there is a very touching part, which is 'No matter how many years
Nothing will change'."
Watanabe Manyumi listened carefully.
"Tian Locust is critically ill, so changing the era name is a recent thing." Watanabe Misao watches the news every day and has a clear understanding of Tian Locust's physical condition and the various trends of the Imperial Household Agency.
"The Japanese don't say it with their mouths, and they don't necessarily think about it in their hearts. However, whether they are aware of it or not, they still feel uneasy in today's era."
Misa Watanabe looks at things with a sophisticated and well-informed perspective as she grows older. “Even though the Japanese are immersed in the so-called golden age, in fact, the nerves of the Japanese are very sensitive and fragile. In fact, the Japanese are very sensitive and fragile.
, we are originally a nervous and fragile nation."
Therefore, "restlessness" is also a daily life for Japanese people.
Living in this decadent era, while enjoying the prosperity brought by the bubble, the Japanese are not unaware of the abnormality of this bubble. Although they hold the belief that "when the red light comes on, as long as we rush together, we will not be afraid!"
"The thought of "Will you be hit?" will also cause you to be timid about "Will you be hit?" when you are not aware of it.
The change of the year name has the meaning of "turning the page".
In this fast-paced era, the Japanese cannot help but wonder, after the era name is changed, will everything be the same as before?
The crazier the times, the more profound the uneasiness becomes.
And because of uneasiness, he became even crazier.
Against this background, the core of "Future Scenario II" that "will not change no matter how many years" seems to Misa Watanabe to be somewhat comforting and encouraging.
Watanabe Wan Yumi was stunned for a while as she listened to her mother's words. She didn't expect that such a love song could have such an explanation.
"I was too careless to consider such deep things." Yoshida Miki also shook his head.
Yoshida Masaki laughed, "What I'm thinking about is that since Iwahashi's project has received such a good response, in the future, when singers release records, there will be another way to promote it."
Since Dreams Come True can achieve success through this kind of indiscriminate bombardment, other record companies and agencies will definitely not remain indifferent after seeing the effect.
If this kind of publicity method is promoted, the publicity funds of singers will also increase in the future. If it really develops in this direction, Shinichi Iwahashi has done something that breaks the rules of the industry.
No one can say how the old rules will develop after being impacted.
Iwahashi Shinichi thinks things are different from others. However, this "difference" often makes people think that he is messing around at first, and then they have to admit that he has taken the right step.
The whole set of publicity strategies came from Shinichi Iwahashi's idea, and they were even hastily formulated after the debut single was banned from being performed at the Red and White Song Festival due to the self-restriction order, which temporarily disrupted the original release plan.
Such adaptability made Masaki Yoshida admire Shinichi Iwahashi with admiration.
"Wanyumi, are you going to Osaka tomorrow?" Misa Watanabe was not so much asking her about her itinerary as confirming it with her.
Watanabe Manyumi answered her, "The flight is at 9:15, and we will return to Tokyo on the afternoon of the 8th."
"Oh." Misa Watanabe nodded and asked her, "Do you have any plans for the evening of the 9th?" She paused and said, "Taba Yasuo-san's wife is hosting a reception and would like to introduce Tianba-san's proud disciple to you."
Yasuo Tanami is a veteran screenwriter in the industry, and he is the author of Yuzo Kayama's Wakadaishou series. The Tanami family has a good relationship with the Watanabe family in private.
Misa Watanabe started talking, but Manyumi Watanabe didn't answer.
Yoshida Masaki wanted to say something, but the words were swirling around his lips, but what he said was: "You and Iwahashi will be very busy in Osaka for three days."
Watanabe Manyumi smiled and corrected him, "Actually, it's less than three days. I'm going to Kyoto on the 8th."
"Going to Kyoto?"
She said "Hmm" and said, "I'm going sightseeing." With this tone, I couldn't tell whether she was really going sightseeing or just joking.
…
Just after eight o'clock, Misa Watanabe got up and went back to the bedroom.
It is Yoshida Miki and his wife who stay in the living room with Watanabe Wanyumi again. Yoshida Masaki wants to say something to Watanabe Wanyumi, but it is not appropriate to disturb his wife here. It is not appropriate to say it in front of her, but it is even more inappropriate to send her away.
.
"It's an invitation from Mrs. Tanami." Yoshida Miki said to her sister, "Wan Yumi, just go."
Watanabe Wan Yumi looked calm, pretending not to hear the deep meaning of her sister's words, "It would be rude not to go... My mother will definitely go with her when the time comes. Will my sister go?"
"Of course Masaki and I will go together."
When invited by the Tian Bo family, the whole family must come with them.
Yoshida Miki did not shy away from it, but Yoshida Masaki finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Manyumi, you and Iwahashi-kun are a perfect match in their careers. If we can use our efforts together, we will have a bright future."
Since Watanabe Manyumi wants to recruit a son-in-law, Yoshida Masaki can't think of a more suitable partner than Iwahashi Shinichi. The two of them have a perfect tacit understanding, and Iwahashi Shinichi's talents are also extremely outstanding. If they are combined with Watanabe Manyumi's talents, who knows?
How much room for development is there?
Yoshida Masaki made his thoughts clear in front of his wife. Yoshida Miki's expression suddenly changed and he subconsciously looked at his sister. Watanabe Wan Yumi's expression showed nothing, "Iwahashi and I are not the same now."
Do you want to use it in one place?"
Yoshida Masaki was defeated by her pretending to be stupid. What he wanted to say just now could not be said now.
He had the idea of bringing his sister-in-law and Shinichi Iwahashi together, and felt that if the two people could get married, they would definitely be able to do something together. However, if he had this intention, he was not a blind fool.
Masaki Yoshida deliberately opened up the topic, but he broke the topic, which made him feel embarrassed. After chatting for a few words, he stood up and walked out of the living room.
Only two sisters, Yoshida Miki and Watanabe Manyumi, were left in the room.
Watanabe Manyumi didn't seem to care at all about what Yoshida Masaki said just now, sitting there as if nothing had happened, casting her eyes at the TV screen from time to time.
Yoshida Miki noticed her expression, and for some reason, she felt uncomfortable.
How could two sisters who had grown up together not understand their sister's reaction? On New Year's Eve, Yoshida Miki realized something was wrong. Tonight, her husband said something stupid, and Yoshida Miki couldn't help but worry about her sister.
We have argued and argued, but sisters are sisters.
Yoshida Miki thought for a while and felt that since her husband had exposed her words, she might as well say it directly. She stared at her sister's side face and suddenly asked: "Wan Yumi, what do you think of Iwahashi?"
She still didn't like Iwahashi Shinichi, but if she blindly resented him and avoided mentioning him, she would never know Wan Yumi's true thoughts.
"How about what?" Watanabe Manyumi turned her head and cast a joking look at her sister, as if she was teasing Yoshida Miki for being "infected" by her husband, and also started talking about endless topics.
However, Yoshida Miki's attitude towards her sister was not relaxed at all.
It seems that she will never give up until she hears her true words. Watanabe Wanyumi knows that her sister does not like Iwahashi Shinichi, and because of this, she feels that her sister cares about her.
"Iwahashi and I always agree on business matters. To be honest, working with such a person makes people feel comfortable and touching." It is rare for Watanabe Manyumi to confide her true words about Iwahashi Shinichi to others.
It's hard to find a close friend in life.
Miki Yoshida could also hear her feelings for Shinichi Iwahashi from her sister's words.
"Then..." Yoshida Miki didn't know what to say.
Watanabe Manyumi knew what her sister was going to say, so she intercepted her words softly, "That man Iwahashi is very proud. He will not become a son-in-law."
If he had been willing to lower his head, when Atami was walking together, she would have stretched out her hand and he would have held it. If that was the case, there might have been a completely different development than now.
"Don't want to get married?" Yoshida Miki repeated subconsciously. Watanabe Manyumi said this, which was tantamount to admitting that she was interested in Iwahashi Shinichi.
Is it because we can't reach an agreement on getting married, so we can't go further? Yoshida Miki thought about Wan Yumi's reaction every time her husband mentioned Iwahashi Shinichi, and felt sad for her, and a little bit angry.
What on earth was Shinichi Iwahashi thinking?
Whether to marry or not is a personal choice. Yoshida Miki knows that her thoughts are unreasonable, but before being reasonable, she still chooses to stand by her sister first.
If the situation were reversed and the person facing this situation was Yoshida Miki, Watanabe Wan Yumi would definitely not have the same idea as her.
Yoshida Miki knew that this was the difference between her and her sister. Compared with her, Wan Yumi was sometimes too sober.
Because he was too sober, he stopped in front of the wall that Shinichi Iwahashi was unwilling to marry.
"Actually, recruiting a son-in-law to inherit the family business is what I, as a sister, should do." Miki Yoshida said, "My father has passed away, but the sign made by Watanabe will not change because the person at the helm is not 'Watanabe'"
Change happens.”
Yoshida Miki felt that she was pitiful for her younger sister who kept the job of recruiting children. Although saying these words was suspected of "betraying" her family responsibilities, she couldn't help but say these things when faced with Wan Yumi like this.
