The ending song and the trailer for the next episode ended together. Momoko Kikuchi thought to herself as she faced the TV that started playing commercials.
There are many good songs. La·mu—, where she is the lead singer, and the songs provided by the composers, no matter which one they are, are all excellent to Momoko Kikuchi.
However, the band did not ride on the wave of band trends just because the songs were good, bringing her a new peak in her career.
The reason for this is that the so-called "co-production" between the song and the singer is also important.
When Momoko Kikuchi first debuted, composer Tetsuji Hayashi was her regular teammate. Tetsuji Lin's songs complemented her singing perfectly. With the two of them working together seamlessly, she reached the pinnacle of her idol career.
As the peak period passed, the cooperation with Lin Zhesi also came to an end.
Later, under the leadership of the company, Kikuchi Momoko formed the band la·mu—. Although the music given by the composers was also good, she was not so lucky this time. The transformation plan failed, and she had to speed up the pace of transforming into an actress.
Momoko Kikuchi also knew that neither her voice nor her typhoon fit in with her role as the lead singer of a rock band. Therefore, although she was disappointed about the failure of her transformation, she was not that regretful because it was expected.
.
However, when she clearly realized that she was not suitable for singing rock music, Momoko Kikuchi faced the areas where she failed to challenge herself, and occasionally a question came up: What does a female voice suitable for rock music look like?
Could it be that only rugged and bold women can sing appropriate rock music?
Now, listening to the song "まっすぐに..." (keep moving forward) by the band's female lead singer at the end of the film, listening to the female lead singer's refreshing and crisp voice, even a little metallic, Kikuchi Momoko's heart was filled with the word "really suitable"
.
That's the sound! She thought to herself.
If she had ever imagined in her mind what kind of voice she would use to interpret the songs provided to her by composers and how she would coordinate with her own musicians, that would be this voice.
The imagination she had always had seems to have taken shape.
The name of the band is zard…
Before Momoko Kikuchi left the TV, she wanted to look for the band's single she had received. But she didn't know where it was, and she didn't find it.
I'll ask my agent to buy one tomorrow.
While she was thinking this, she remembered something——
In the TV series, T-Wave, the radio station where Mochizuki Machiko works, is actually based on J-Wave, a music radio station in the metropolitan area with the highest listening rate.
This time, she plays a t-wave employee in the TV series. Fuji TV has negotiated with j-wave, and after that, Momoko Kikuchi will record a radio program on j-wave as "Mochizuki Machiko".
There will also be a link to recommend songs.
This song "まっすぐに..." (Forward), for the purpose of promoting the TV series, there is a plan to play it once in the program.
Momoko Kikuchi originally regarded this as a work assignment and was prepared to mention it politely.
But now, after actually listening to it, she thought, even from the perspective of her personal preference, this is a song that must be recommended. Not only that, she has also organized the language of recommendation in her heart.
In her mind, the most "suitable" female voice to sing pop rock.
Having said that, Iwahashi-san is really great at finding such a suitable female vocalist.
Momoko Kikuchi gave up looking for the single that she didn't know where to put, and when she returned to the living room, she suddenly came up with this idea. If it was Iwahashi-san, maybe he could see from the beginning that "Momo Kikuchi is not suitable to be a band"
"Singer" thing.
Thinking of this, she laughed to herself.
…
The fact that it will be aired on September 9th is a top priority for the actors involved, because the ratings are related to their future momentum.
But for Shinichi Iwahashi, even though the highly praised singer sang the theme song, it doesn't matter what the content of the TV series is or the performance of the actors. It has nothing to do with him.
The main thing is that even if there is something to say, it doesn't matter what he said.
Therefore, for him, the start of the broadcast on September 9 is just a line written in his itinerary. In addition, when he goes to the company every day and sees the poster of September 9 hanging in the company, he has an instant thought:
"No matter how you look at it, Momoko Kikuchi is more beautiful and cuter."
However, he didn't watch it himself. When he met Nakamori Akina later, she had watched the first episode of Yuejiu and recited the plot to him.
After getting off work, the two of them ran to the high-end residential area to pave the road.
Time is tight at night, and we can't go far away. We decide on a temporary location, and the range of choices is small. In the end, we might as well hold hands together and make a small contribution to strengthening the road.
The most important thing is that no one will disturb you.
After they tasted some sweetness, the two of them wrote the late-night walk on the road into their dating handbook.
When I remembered it, I made a phone call, chatted for a few words, and confirmed that there were no plans for the next step. Then I immediately decided to go for a walk, talk about some things, and say goodbye.
Sometimes they go back to their respective homes, and sometimes Iwahashi Shinichi takes her home first and then goes back to his own home.
It can be said to be an ordinary and ordinary life.
Because of this, after watching the first episode, Akina Nakamori had a lot to complain about. While relaying the plot to Shinichi Iwahashi, she added a few comments of her own from time to time.
Questions such as "Maeda-san's character is really frivolous, like a buffoon", or "Do fashionable urban men and women live such a life?"
Although she is in the most flashy entertainment world, and she has always been versatile on the stage, her private life is quite simple and traditional. It seems that this decadent era has nothing to do with Akina Nakamori, who is an ordinary person in private.
.
Shinichi Iwahashi listened and said, "Yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh], and when Nakamori Akina lost her mind, he replied with a sentence or two. When she got the response, she was satisfied and continued talking happily.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who used to work in a nightclub, has seen many urban men and women enjoying life in TV dramas. When Akina Nakamori said it, he thought it was quite real, so he explained a few words to her casually.
Although it is not something to be proud of at all, it is indeed within the scope of his understanding.
Nakamori Akina listened for a while and muttered, "Shinichi-kun knows a lot."
this……
Iwahashi Shinichi told her about his job as a nightclub waiter, and Nakamori Akina said "Hey~", took his arm, and looked him up and down.
"Is there anything strange?" Iwahashi Shinichi was curious.
Nakamori Akina shook her head and looked at him with a smile, "I'm just thinking, I can't see it at all."
"Can this be seen?" He laughed.
"It's just because you can't see it that it's interesting."
Nakamori Akina happily took his arm again and took the initiative to move forward.
