Shinichi Iwahashi didn't stay in the recording studio for too long.
When leaving, he asked Kamai Sachiko to go out with him.
The musicians performed their duties, and Sachiko Kamaike followed him and accompanied him out of the recording studio. The corridor was quiet, and Shinichi Iwahashi stopped and stood face to face with her.
"Thank you for your hard work." Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Are you still used to everything?"
From the time zard was preparing for their debut to now, Shinichi Iwahashi was busy with official matters, and Sachiko Kamaike was busy recording with his teammates. Although he was the lead singer appointed by him, there were not many opportunities for the two of them to chat in private.
Since I came here today, I just wanted to have a chat with her.
"Yes, thank you all." Sachiko Kamaike replied.
She looked at Shinichi Iwahashi talking openly and openly, and was not as cautious as a subordinate when facing his boss. However, it was precisely because she respected him that she could face him with such an attitude.
"The last performance in Osaka was a great improvement."
Shinichi Iwahashi said, "It was really surprising to see such a performance."
Hearing what he said, Kamai Sachiko seemed a little ashamed, "However, there were a lot of mistakes... thanks to everyone in the band." She carefully remembered the flaws in her performance.
In the band zard, the three musicians all have rich performance experience. On the stage, they are not the kind of people who just play the piano in the background. During the performance, they can really play the role of guiding the newcomer Sachiko Kamaiike.
"Indeed, these three members of the band are very capable and experienced." Shinichi Iwahashi said, thinking about Akamatsu Haruko being attacked by the audience who rushed to the stage, and couldn't help but smile.
These three teammates have quite a lot of experience in cooperating with the rookie vocalist.
It was with these three people that we felt more at ease to put a newcomer like Sachiko Kamaike with zero experience directly on the stage.
Kamike Sachiko saw his sudden smile and couldn't figure out why.
However, she wouldn't ask, and Iwahashi Shinichi certainly wouldn't explain. He continued, "...My teammates are indeed excellent. Even so, the more important thing is that your efforts have paid off, Sachiko-san."
"It's because your hard work has yielded results that you can perform at that level. As the absolute center of the band, you still have to show the spirit of 'I can't do it without my performance'."
I called out Sachiko Kamachi specifically just to praise her.
"But I'm actually very clumsy, and I miss the point in many places."
Kamai Sachiko's words like this may sound unconfident or modest at first glance. But in fact, it is better to say that she is seeking Iwahashi Shinichi's opinion.
"I'm not the kind of person who immediately becomes good at it as soon as I enter the industry." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, as if to comfort her.
Kamai Sachiko looked into his eyes, and he did not avoid the gaze seeking answers.
"But now it seems that he is a person who can do things easily, right?" He asked deliberately.
Kamai Sachiko was amused by his somewhat boastful words, and then he straightened up his expression and nodded. This was by no means forced, it was because he sincerely believed that Iwahashi Shinichi was a great person.
She heard a lot about Shinichi Iwahashi from Haruko Akamatsu and her bandmates.
"That's enough." Shinichi Iwahashi said calmly, "In my opinion, you can see results if you work hard, which is enough to be called excellent and rare."
Just brag about yourself, there is nothing wrong with it.
Besides, he also felt that he was worthy of praise.
"Of course geniuses are very powerful. In today's world, it seems that the 'chosen people', such as young geniuses, are increasingly respected."
In such a crazy era, the business of young geniuses has also expanded crazily. They are no longer satisfied with learning geniuses or sports geniuses, and even come up with gimmicks like stock trading geniuses.
A primary school student learned how to trade stocks at the securities center and was able to make sure profits without losing money. Adults followed his lead and bought.
It's obviously ridiculous, but the public just loves it.
After society develops to a certain level, it will change from respecting God's reward for hard work to respecting talent that was chosen at birth.
"However, there are only a few geniuses who are actually selected. On the contrary, there are more people who may not be able to reap corresponding rewards even if they work hard. Therefore, if you see progress and results after working hard, you can already be called talented."
"So, rather than being superstitious about the chosen geniuses who can succeed without working hard, I still prefer people like Sachiko-san who have a level of talent that 'works hard and you can see results.'"
Kamachi Sachiko suddenly smiled.
This time, Shinichi Iwahashi was puzzled by her sudden smile and couldn't figure out why.
"I'm sorry." Kamai Sachiko lowered her head and adjusted her expression.
Even so, he had no intention of telling why and it was hard to tell Iwahashi Shinichi. He suddenly laughed because he thought that what he just said about genius and talent could also be applied to himself.
When Iwahashi-san said these words, did he think of himself? Or was it because he had seen himself this way that he had such thoughts about her?
Kamaike Sachiko didn't meet Iwahashi Shinichi very often, and they weren't that familiar yet. When they met occasionally, when they chatted with him, it was like seeing a new side of him.
In addition to being steady in his personality, the young producer also has a boyish personality.
"juvenile".
Kamachi Sachiko couldn't help but laugh because she thought of such words.
In my heart, I quietly felt that the producer, who was one year older than me, was a bit juvenile. Of course, I couldn't say this kind of thing. However, Shinichi Iwahashi had no intention of getting entangled in the question that obviously had no answer.
"The band's new round of performances is about to begin," he returned to the topic, "In short, when you get to the stage, just be yourself. Just be frank and keep moving forward."
He casually said the line Sachiko Kamaiike used to introduce the band's debut single during a live house performance in Osaka.
This is what the title of the band's debut single "まっすぐに..." means.
Hearing what he said, Kamachi Sachiko was obviously very happy.
However, I borrow this sentence not to try to be clever, but to explain something.
Improving your performance requires hard work, but being yourself does not require that kind of effort. If you rely on hard work to be yourself, you are "playing yourself."
Therefore, regarding her style on stage, the only advice Iwahashi Shinichi gave her was to be "frank".
"Iwahashi-san."
Before leaving, Kamai Sachiko asked him, "When the performance starts in Tokyo, will you go and see it?"
"Of course I will go." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "But you have to choose a show that fits your schedule. So, I don't know which show I will go to."
"No matter which match, I will give my best performance," she said.
There is quite a sense of welcome at any time.
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but smile and promised her, "Okay."
