559. Save the Danger

The promotion of the album "love goes on" was a great success, with sales and topics rising steadily, and the band's popularity and attention also growing.

The title song "Future Vision II" has occupied the first place in the radio airplay charts. In the past few weeks, neither popular idols nor powerful singers have been able to shake its position as the number one on the on-demand charts.

In addition to this number one hit, two other songs promoted in TV commercials are also on the list.

On the on-demand list, which doesn’t smell like gold, Dreams e True stole the show. On the sales list, which requires real money to push up, “Love Goes On” also performed very well, ranking from outside the tenth place to the top ten.

The top five finally rose to first place last week, winning the title with the highest amount of "gold" for a singer.

At the same time, this championship is also the first album chart title the band has won since their debut.

Following last year's "So Happy! So Happy! I Like It So Much!", the new year has just begun. This band, which came out of the band paradise, not only did not go silent, but actually went to a higher level and had another song.

A more popular song.

One good song may be inspiration, two good songs may be talent, but being able to produce a highly completed album means that this band not only has inspiration and talent, but is also very professional.

.

While the sales and reputation have been great, Dreams e True has also been recognized for its strength.



The double harvest of sales and reputation made Dreams e True a well-deserved star in the music industry at the beginning of Heisei.

When it is popular, naturally the invitations to perform will not stop.

There were so many performance invitations that the agency screened and screened them, leaving only a few shows that they had to attend. Even so, the band's recent schedule was still packed to the brim.

TV Asahi is cooperating closely with them, and "Music Station" must go.

TBS TV station is very sincere. Although the band has not released a single and cannot appear on the "The Best Ten" rankings, the program team still invited the band to open the show as a "special guest".

NHK, NTV, and Fuji TV should not be forgotten, and TV Tokyo should not be ignored...the more popular it is, the harder it is to leave the impression that it is difficult to talk to and cooperate with the TV station.

However, when going to different TV stations, the agency negotiated different performance repertoire.

This time, because we only released an album and not a single, it made it much easier for the agency to negotiate the performance repertoire with the TV program team. We took this opportunity to play songs again.

In addition to the audio program, Band Paradise’s special program after the New Year, Dreams e True, as a band that appeared on the program, naturally also went to report on it.

Just as they were getting popular and returning to their own place, the production team of Band Paradise gave the band fifteen minutes at a time and asked them to sing three songs in a row, just the three songs advertised on the TV station.

Among all the bands that walked out of the show, this was undoubtedly the one that shone the brightest.



The on-demand charts and sales charts were both in the limelight. The general public showed their recognition of this album with practical actions, and professional music critics also expressed their opinions on the topic Dreams e True through music magazines or radio stations.

thoughts.

The attention that was not there when the album was released came to me all at once.

There are good and bad reviews written by music critics, but overall the reviews of this album are pretty good. Anyway, it’s impossible to expect everyone to like music. As for music reviews, just read it.

, no need to pay too much attention to it.

You are not afraid of being said poorly, but you are afraid that no one will pay attention to you.

The only thing Iwahashi Shinichi found interesting was that several music critics criticized Miwa-chan's composition as "nonsense". One music critic even criticized Miwa-chan's composition on a relatively professional music program.

The song serves as a negative example of disorder.

A talented player like Miwa-chan, who relies solely on inspiration, is naturally "unprofessional" in the eyes of professionals.

Therefore, while her non-conformity in playing cards was appreciated by some professionals, she was also criticized by others as being "nonsense".

After Miwa-chan found out about this comment, she laughed out loud.



At this time, the three of them were backstage at Music Station, waiting for tonight's live broadcast.

Once it became popular, the most eye-catching sign was that when three people went to participate in a TV show, the production team would prepare a separate lounge for them.

Whether you're eating potato chips, practicing piano, or doing warm-up exercises before going on stage, you can do whatever you want there.

The manager read out the report after the music critic criticized Miwa-chan for being "misbehaving" on the show, which made Miwa-chan laugh.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura brother couldn't understand her magical laughter. Miwa-chan laughed so much that she explained to her two Zeng Yi, "When I was in high school, I showed my music to the teacher, and the teacher also laughed.

Said so."

It turned out that I had learned the lesson a long time ago.

Ordinary people, after being hit like this, may feel very disappointed or even choose to give up.

However, because Miwa-chan knew that the teacher had also criticized her senior Miyuki Nakajima, she gained a different kind of affirmation from it and gained the strength to support her to continue on this road.

It's pretty strong in every sense of the word.

Whether she is an optimist who uses the teacher's disparagement as strength, or she is a music teacher who has achieved success despite the students she disliked twice in a row.

but……

"Nakajima Miyuki-san is your senior in high school?" Shinichi Iwahashi grasped the key point.

Miwa-chan nodded, "I heard from the teachers at school that Miyuki-san graduated from university and returned to our high school as a Chinese teacher during the internship. However, I was still a child at that time and had never met Miyuki-san."

"I see." The profession of teacher is like a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Iwahashi Shinichi saw her looking a little pity, and said half jokingly and half seriously, "I can't see her in school, but I might have a chance to see Miyuki-san in the industry in the future."

After all, they are from the same hometown and senior students in the same school.

In the entertainment industry, there is a strict hierarchy among juniors and seniors, and fellows from the same hometown form groups... This is even worse than in other industries. Even fake Shizuoka natives like Iwahashi Shinichi have established a Shizuoka hometown association to regularly organize people from Shizuoka.

Musicians gathering in Shizuoka Kamikyo.

The purpose is to get a head start and build a good relationship with underground musicians from Shizuoka.

Who knows when among these fellow villagers from Shizuoka, someone with extraordinary talent will emerge.

Brother Nakamura, who was not too concerned about watching the excitement, intervened at the right time and showed off: "That's it. Aren't we going to share the stage with Southern Star today?"

Kaysuke Kuwata, the lead singer of Southern Star, was his most admired figure during his student days and was also his senior at the same university.

Brother Nakamura's whisper was intentional at first glance.

Southern Star loves to be on TV. Miyuki Nakajima is a bit of a reclusive person. When she first debuted, she participated in a TV show. Now that she has grown up, I don’t want to see her on TV. If you want to see her live, just buy concert tickets.

life.

If you want to meet Miyuki Nakajima, it is impossible to meet her by chance on a TV show.

Miwa-chan didn't accept this and made a disdainful comment, "Masato-san is like a primary school student showing off his new eraser."

"Ha ha!"

Iwahashi Shinichi had no burden and gave Nakamura brother a hearty laugh.

After Miwa-chan hit back, Brother Nakamura made a funny expression as if he had been punched in the face, and accepted the move honestly. He had no choice but to find someone first.

Having said that, such a trivial matter could be aired on TV and then written about in the newspaper as a matter, which shows that the band is indeed famous this time.

"However, I don't know who Shinichi-kun wants to meet." Miwa-chan was curious.

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he joined the team that persecuted Brother Nakamura and made fun of him: "Anyway, there will be no MS today."

"Ha ha!"

This time, it was Miwa-chan who used laughter to touch up the damage. This is how a good little fox cooperates with each other tacitly.

Brother Nakamura, who was ridiculed by his teammates, made a funny expression of being punched on the other side of the face, and he also laughed and turned it into an emoticon.

There was a lot of excitement here, but on the other side, the manager reminded them, "You three, get ready to go."

"Yes!" The first person to respond was Miwa-chan.

While she agreed, she took the lead in picking up the giraffe hood placed on the dressing table and handed it to Shinichi Iwahashi.

Iwahashi Shinichi took it and saw the expectant expression on Miwa-chan's face before putting it on.

All right……

He put on his hood obediently and sat upright.

Miwa-chan approached him with a smile and reached out to straighten Iwahashi Shin's headgear, completing what she thought was the last step before going on stage.

If there is a little rat in the team who is used to carrying a gun, then no teammate will really be spared.



The general public buys this album because it sounds good. Professional music critics pay attention to the completion of the album, the writing of lyrics and music, and the arrangement of the orchestration. In the industry, there are other people who are responsible for matters other than music.

Look elsewhere.

When a band succeeds, not only the band itself but also the agency and record company reap the benefits.

For the entire industry, faced with the success of Dreams e True, it is necessary to analyze the reasons for their success and learn from the parts that can be used for reference.

For example, regarding the promotion method of the album "love goes on".

They are obviously a new band, but they dare to release an album without releasing a single.

Although no single was released, the album's title track was given the treatment of a single. It was promoted on the radio in advance, and a huge song promotion took advantage of the attention of the Red and White Song Club.

When the band sang "Future Vision II" at the Red and White Song Festival, this round of publicity will undoubtedly come to a head.

However, the promotion did not end there. After the Hongbai Song Festival ended, more intense promotion followed, and the focus of the promotion expanded from the song "Future Vision II" to the entire album.

At this point, all the promotional ideas were rolled out, and only then did I realize how big this propaganda effort was.

The most important reason why "love goes on" was able to sell well is that the quality of the album is excellent and can withstand such strong promotion. However, without such strong promotion, the album may not be as popular as it is now.

Although the two complement each other, everyone in the industry can see that this publicity played a major role.

What uninformed people see is that Dreams e True is very lucky. During the promotion period, they received an invitation to the Red and White Song Concert. As a new band, they also got the opportunity to sing new songs. Because generally speaking, they are somewhat famous when they just debuted.

All bands must sing their own masterpieces.

Then, through the most popular music program, the Red and White Song Club, the title song of the album was suddenly promoted.

However, for those who know the inside story, this propaganda is not a gathering of people at the right time and place, but a strategy to turn danger into safety.

"Iwahashi-kun's skills and adaptability are impressive."

In the amuse president's office, Yokichi Ohato sighed to Watanabe Manyumi.

Ever since Watanabe Productions invited Amuse to join Noan's Yaon, it was the first time he knew the name Iwahashi Shinichi. In the past few years, Ohri Yokichi has heard from time to time what this young man has done.

Either it is an impact, or it is a surprise, or it may bring an idea for imitation.

Yokichi Ohato emphasized "resilience" because he had thought through the inside story of the Kohaku Utakara event. Then he thought, if the person who won the spot was not Dreams e True but Begin signed by Amuse, he would definitely be in trouble.

By then, amuse will inevitably have a headache, and it remains to be seen whether it can be resolved.

The worst result is that the band's reputation collapsed due to the band's misfortune at the Red and White Song Festival. If it comes to that, even the companies involved in Band Heaven will be offended in one fell swoop.

Zhou Fangyuxiong's methods are really insidious and vicious.

Although when he first became independent from Watanabe Productions, Ohato Yokichi was favored by Ikuo Shubo, he also paid a considerable price.

Although he would continue to cooperate and interact with them after leaving the burning system, this did not prevent Yokichi Ohri from thinking that Ikuo Subo was sinister and vicious.

As both leaders in the entertainment industry, in the opinion of Yokichi Ohashi, Ikuo Suho is not as good as Susumu Watanabe.

"Indeed." Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled, "That person Iwahashi has considerable talent."...The talent to turn danger into safety.

The reason why we took this step was because of the Red and White Song Festival incident. But the fundamental reason for the Red and White Song Festival incident was the pressure from Ikuo Suho.

Last Saturday, President Tanabe of the Tanabe Office served as the mediator, and Watanabe Manyumi and Subo Ikuo held peace talks.

She was sincere and showed that she was not willing to be the enemy of Burning, and Ikkio Sufang did not intend to have any grudge against the Watanabe family.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. There are too many established forces in the industry like Watanabe Productions who have received favors from them and are inextricably related to them. Ikkio Suho is also wary and will not arbitrarily suppress the second lady of Watanabe Productions.

The office after the separation.

Now, since Watanabe Manyumi showed her good intentions first, Shu Fang Ikuo just got off the road, and the matter ended here.

Not only that, in order to show that the combustion department had no intention of becoming an enemy of Watanabe's production department, Shufang Ikuo also politely said during the banquet that Watanabe Manyumi had just become independent, and if there was anything that needed him, you could come to him for help.

.

After saying this, Ikuo Shufang didn't care whether Watanabe Manyumi believed it or not, but his demeanor was still there.

And Watanabe Manyumi doesn't care whether this is true or not, just hearing it and seeing it is enough.

Just the plastics industry.
