Both Kansai TV programs are recorded and broadcast. On the day we arrive in Osaka, we will start recording one program at ten o'clock in the morning, and we will start recording another program at two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.
For ordinary music programs, the formal recording time is not exaggerated, but including rehearsals before the performance, it takes almost four or five hours at a time.
Some traditional musicians are reluctant to appear on TV. One of the main reasons is that recording shows is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The day we arrived in Osaka was Thursday, and the radio program we had negotiated with Kansai Broadcasting Corporation was scheduled to be broadcast on Friday night.
This radio broadcast is quite special. It is a live broadcast. Not only that, but during the broadcast, the audience can interact with the band through the phone.
Since dreamsetrue debuted, they have not done a radio show in Osaka. The band has become a popular star due to the huge sales of their new album. After Kansai Broadcasting got the opportunity, they spared no effort to promote it.
Two weeks in advance, Kansai Broadcasting conducted a week-long collection of submissions from listeners. Once selected, what they wanted to say to the band and what questions they wanted to ask could be read during the live broadcast.
One week is spent collecting submissions, and the other week is spent naturally screening submissions.
Before coming to Osaka, the office communicated with Kansai Broadcasting Corporation. According to the data provided by them, within a week, the program team received more than 2,000 submissions, and there were even more inquiries. For a radio program, this number is quite impressive.
.
The popularity of the band in Kansai can be seen from this. The radio broadcast has not started yet, but the topic has already arrived.
As for the band, knowing that they are very popular in Kansai, they are particularly motivated to perform in Osaka. Especially Miwa-chan, who is already very excited about the trip to Osaka before leaving.
…
For a program that starts recording at ten o'clock, lunch will naturally be provided by the TV station.
On the first day in Osaka, I had Kansai TV’s bento for lunch. In contrast to the luxurious bento that I had just eaten at the recording studio at night yesterday, Kansai TV’s bento can only be said to be “not unpalatable”.
There is no harm without comparison.
The band has participated in many music programs since their debut, and they were very familiar with it, and everything went smoothly during the rehearsal. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the day's recording came to an end.
After recording the program, the band went directly back to the hotel to meet with people from Kansai Broadcasting Corporation.
The day before coming to Osaka, the office communicated with Kansai Broadcasting Corporation to confirm the itinerary and make an appointment in advance. After the band finished recording the program in the afternoon and returned to the hotel, the two parties communicated and confirmed the subsequent broadcast process.
Among the people who came to discuss, in addition to Kansai Broadcasting staff, there was also the host we would be working with tomorrow night, Kansai Broadcasting's popular host, a young woman named Momoi.
The live broadcast will be held at 11 o'clock on Friday night. The band's schedule is tight and there is not much time, so they can only make use of it.
The focus of music programs is live performance ability, which is not a problem for the band. However, radio programs test the conversational ability and adaptability. In this regard, the band has little experience, and it is a live program, which is quite challenging.
However, the advantage is that the band participates as a guest, and there is also a radio host who is responsible for stringing together the entire program.
What's more, there is a script.
Live programs are most afraid of accidents, and for radio programs, if the silence lasts for more than five seconds, it is a broadcast accident. Therefore, various preparations in advance are essential.
The script of a radio program does not specify when and which lines should be said like a variety show. Instead, it first gives a general program flow and lists in detail the topics to be discussed.
In addition, there are also a large number of submissions received. After screening, the production team selected those that were more suitable for discussion and included them in the script.
During the face-to-face negotiation and confirmation, the three members of the band, plus the manager who was responsible for the review, also had an important task, which was to break down the listed issues.
Cross out the ones you don’t want to talk about, mark the ones you particularly want to talk about, and leave the rest as you wish.
A discussion meeting ended and it was late. On the band's side, the accompanying staff invited people from Kansai Broadcasting to have dinner with them. Of course, all the bills were included in u-miz's entertainment expenses.
During dinner, the three members of the band participated together. When the dinner was over, the staff of the office accompanied the staff of Kansai Broadcasting to the nightclub to renew the booth, and the host Momoi said goodbye tactfully.
By the way, I have also made a reservation to entertain the staff of Kansai TV tomorrow night. Of course, I will also be accompanied by the staff.
In such a bubble era, no matter what company, the entertainment expenses are rising every year. No matter whether you are happy to be the boss or not, when the whole social atmosphere is like this, not following it will become "slow treatment".
In the entertainment industry, this trend is even worse.
After the office staff and Kansai Broadcasting staff got into the taxi, the three band members got in the car, but they did not go back to the hotel directly...
Iwahashi Shinichi reported an address.
…
The band came to Osaka for television and radio work. Besides work, for Shinichi Iwahashi, his trip to Osaka had even more arduous tasks.
Previously, he decided to open a live house in Tokyo and Osaka. Brother Nakamura and Miwa-chan agreed to take shares, and Asako also agreed to help. After the matter was confirmed, he started taking action.
Mineshima is basically in charge of the Tokyo side. He also has a lot of experience and contacts in the underground music circle. You can rest assured that things have been progressing quite smoothly since the beginning.
As for Osaka, although it was necessary to hand over the boss's hands, it was not necessary to do it personally. Iwahashi Shinichi entrusted this matter to him as soon as he was far away, and listened to reports regularly, and took time to come over and take a look.
I usually live far away in Tokyo, but now when I come to Osaka, I naturally want to inspect the progress here.
Miwa-chan and Nakamura-chan are both partners of the livehouse, and they need to monitor the progress and cannot leave them alone. Before coming to Osaka, when confirming the itinerary, Iwahashi Shinichi asked them.
The answer is of course "it depends".
In Osaka, the livehouse site selection was entrusted to Kanzaki Real Estate.
Kanzaki Real Estate, which has opened a lot of branches in Tokyo, also has branches in Osaka, as well as colleagues with whom they have good relations and cooperation. Shinichi Iwahashi contacted Imai of Kanzaki Real Estate and asked him to help find suitable housing in Osaka.
.
The person specifically responsible for the progress of the livehouse in Osaka was recruited by Mineshima in Tokyo and sent to Osaka.
Ever since he bought that square of land, in the past few years, Iwahashi Shinichi has been accustomed to looking for Imai whenever there are related matters. Firstly, he is familiar with Imai, and secondly, Imai's working ability is also good, so every time he comes to him,
The results are quite satisfying.
After having dealt with him many times, Imai got to know Shinichi Iwahashi quite well. He knew that he was a producer and the boss of a record company... not only that, he was also the boss of Sachiko Kamaichi.
When Shinichi Iwahashi contacted Imai this time, Imai couldn't wait to ask about Sachiko Kamai as soon as he finished talking about the business.
"Zard's lead singer, Sang, is Kanamechi-san who worked at our real estate company, right?"
Iwahashi Shinichi asked on the phone, "Do you know about it over there?"
"The company is now spread all over the world." Imai said with excitement, "There is an employee named Aoyama in our store, and she used to have a good relationship with Tachi-san. When the band debuted, Tachi-san even gave her a record."
"Being the lead singer of a band, the debut single was also the theme song of the TV series Yue Jiu... The female staff in our store have a high degree of discussion about that TV series."
The more Imai talked about it, the more incredible he felt, "I didn't expect that Tachi-san would become the lead singer of the band, and he would be signed to your company... What a coincidence."
Imai, who said "what a coincidence", had long forgotten about the last time Iwahashi Shinichi called and asked about Kamaike Sachiko.
Not only that, but I also completely forgot about the fact that I had ridiculed Kamai Sachiko for becoming a photo model even when she refused to accept an invitation from a male colleague.
Moreover, as if to show sympathy for Shinichi Iwahashi, who is the boss, Imai did not even mention that Sachiko Kamaiike worked as a photo model, and only lamented that his former colleague became the lead singer of the band.
However, his former colleague became the lead singer of the band, and the new boss had dealt with him several times. Imai was completely surprised, and because of this coincidence, he was particularly concerned about Shinichi Iwahashi looking for him.
Now after an on-site inspection, Iwahashi Shinichi is quite satisfied with the place that Imai helped find. After Miwa-chan came in, she felt even more excited and looked around. Although there was actually nothing inside, it was just a stage that had just been set up.
However, as soon as the stage is set up, this place, which may have been a warehouse or used for any purpose, is given a whole new meaning.
Shinichi Iwahashi stood on the stage with Miwa-chan, and looked around, thinking, "The venue has been selected, and then we have to purchase equipment... Various things have just begun now."
While preparing the venue, we also need to recruit dedicated personnel to take charge of the operations here.
Iwahashi Shinichi is quite unfamiliar with Kansai, and he is a little constrained in doing things. However, it is undoubtedly a bad idea to recruit people from Tokyo and then send them to Osaka to take charge of management.
After all, not only is the performance venue in Osaka, but the audiences we will deal with in the future and the singers who come to perform are all Kansai people. If you want to communicate with Kansai people, you cannot do without Kansai people.
After thinking about it, Shin Iwahashi took a two-pronged approach. On one side, he recruited staff in Osaka through Mineshima, and on the other side, he recruited staff through his old acquaintance Takenouchi Akihito.
Although Takenouchi Akihito's hometown is in Kyoto, he studied in Osaka. When he was in his hometown, he was not the kind of person who would just sit in school and study. He made a lot of friends, and he was a good fit.
The two sides will work hard together, and then conduct an interview to decide on the team that will operate here.
…
The recording of the second day's program started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the band had some free time in the morning.
I went to see the live house venue the night before. Miwa-chan, who had never thought that she would become a live house partner one day, went back after the inspection. She was a little excited and wanted to choose a seat, but she fell asleep very late.
When I woke up, it was almost ten o'clock.
When she comes to Osaka, it would be boring if she just sleeps in a hotel and waits for her manager to come and call her before the program recording.
While washing up, Miwa-chan thought to herself that she would ask Shinichi-kun and Masato-san to go out for a walk together... At most, she would treat them to lunch at noon.
Her mental abacus was good, but when she went downstairs, the staff told her that Iwahashi Shinichi had already gone out.
"Operation Detachment".
Miwa-chan missed the opportunity and was a little disappointed. Without Iwahashi Shinichi, she wouldn't want to go shopping with Nakamura Masato. Nakamura Masato 100% thought the same.
The magical thing about the interpersonal relationships of their band is that Yoshida Miwa and Nakamura Masato can never act alone.
Miwa-chan went out to play by herself, and her manager told her to come back before one o'clock at noon. He also reminded her to put on a little disguise.
She didn't take it to heart, and as a result, she was recognized by Osaka people one after another while walking in the shopping street.
Today is Friday, and there are not many customers in the shopping street. Most of the people who greet her are shopkeepers in the shopping street. After recognizing her, they don't ask her for an autograph... but sell her the products in their store.
In fact, she is not well-known enough for just anyone to recognize her. However, after being recognized by one of the shopkeepers in the crowded shopping street, the shopkeepers next to her followed her like heckles.
Miwa-chan has a cheerful personality. When she is recognized, she happily interacts with the store owners. After being sold something, she will really look at it carefully and buy what she likes. If she doesn't like it, she will directly complain to the store owner.
This way of coping is very popular with the shopkeepers in the shopping street. A few shopkeepers who were still watching the excitement were first impressed by Miwa-chan's character and wanted to become her supporters.
However, even though she was having a great time, when Miwa-chan was talking to the shopkeepers, she couldn't help but think that this would never happen to Shinichi-kun.
I don't know where he went early in the morning.
When thinking this way, Miwa-chan completely forgot about oversleeping.
…
I made an appointment with the person I wanted to meet at 11 noon, which was still early.
Tired of waiting, Shinichi Iwahashi walked into the department store near the cafe and wandered around to kill time.
Once the hood is taken off, no one likes it.
Without his giraffe body, Iwahashi Shinichi can freely go wherever he wants. Although the band he is in is very popular, this starlight does not shine on him at all.
Wandering around in a department store on a Friday morning, I don't know if I would be regarded as a gangster with nothing to do. However, to pass the time, shopping is an absolute weapon.
Iwahashi Shinichi glanced at the dazzling array of products, and when he passed by the counter selling jewelry, he was suddenly attracted.
A visit to Osaka is considered a business trip.
I'm on a business trip and I want to bring a gift to my girlfriend...
Shinichi Iwahashi decided so
Chapter completed!
