Back then, a young driver and a girl carrying a bag would stay together in the lounge of the same club from time to time, and they would say useless things.
The friendship between the two was not very deep. After that, they left their jobs and made their debuts, but they never crossed paths again. They met occasionally. One of them turned into a giraffe man and disappeared on stage, while the other wore a kimono and behaved dignifiedly. There was no chance to say anything.
However, although the friendship is not deep, they have known each other since they were young. Now, one has become a famous producer, and the other has become a singing star just after his debut. When they meet again, they both treat each other quite cordially.
Especially today, Fuyumi Sakamoto is still wearing the same large shoulder-padded suit she wore when she was a bag-carrying girl——
Privately, my aesthetics haven't changed at all.
After communicating with Sakai Masatoshi and Ikuta Masaru, Iwahashi Shinichi still had to wait for the final reply from BURNING and Sony. Therefore, he temporarily put Fujimura Manami aside.
After letting go of Manami Fujimura, Shinichi Iwahashi thought about contacting Fuyumi Sakamoto.
During the communication with Sakai Masatoshi, the name Sakamoto Fuyumi occasionally appeared in the conversation. One was an outer disciple who was sealed by Inamata Koshi and did not need to be adjusted, and the other was an inner disciple who was personally adjusted by Inomata Koshi and was loved by his daughter.
And what happened after the two debuted seems to have confirmed Inomata Kanzaki's precise vision.
Unlike Fujimura Manami who gives off the impression of a lover-like woman, Sakamoto Fuyumi has a simple and energetic beauty about her whole body.
She can not only be the capable wife of the fisherman in the enge, but she can also incorporate life and nostalgia into her singing, just like a Yamato Nadeshiko who tolerates everything.
Fuyumi Sakamoto is a perfect match for the orthodox art of enka.
And she is indeed the one who has had the smoothest sailing among the new performers who have debuted in the past few years. Not only is she loved by the audience, she is also highly praised by people in the industry, and she has a bright future.
"Manami-chan..." Fuyumi Sakamoto said and smiled, "Privately, I call Fujimura-san 'Manami-chan'."
Although Manami Fujimura is six years older than her, this older person is sometimes tolerated by Fuyumi Sakamoto.
"Do you two have a good relationship?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
Fuyumi Sakamoto nodded, "Yes, I have received a lot of care from her in my life..." Changing the topic, "Manami-chan told me that a producer from Iwabashi invited her to participate in his project. I'm still thinking, I also know an Iwahashi-san."
As he spoke, the smile on his face deepened, "I didn't expect it to be you, Iwahashi-san."
"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled.
Previously, Fujimura Manami said that a producer Iwahashi invited her to participate in the project, which made Fuyumi Sakamoto curious about this. To be precise, she was curious about the "producer Iwahashi".
She was thinking about contacting Iwahashi Shinichi and asking him how he was doing, but before she could take action, Iwahashi Shinichi found her first.
It just so happened that Shinichi Iwahashi was going to Toshiba EMI to see the producer Minamikawa in a few days, so he made an appointment with Fuyumi Sakamoto on the phone to meet him then.
"...Anyway, I just want to create such a project." After the long-awaited greetings, Iwahashi Shinichi told her the content of the project.
"It's really incredible." Just listening to it, Sakamoto Fuyumi thought it was a big project. She sincerely sighed, "Iwahashi-san is really amazing."
When we were waiting for our respective bosses in the club lounge together, how could we have imagined that today would happen.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and accepted her compliment, "Normally, when making such a project, Sakamoto-san should be the first person who comes to mind."
He specifically contacted Sakamoto Fuyumi and asked her out to meet. It was definitely not to catch up with her.
"Invite me to join too?"
Sakamoto Fuyumi's reaction was a bit like being hit by a small animal that suddenly ran out. Her face was a bit thinner than before her debut, but still cute, and she was stunned for a moment.
After coming back to his senses, he asked him: "You also want me to collaborate with the band?"
"Not necessarily." Shinichi Iwahashi did not give a definite answer.
He looked at Sakamoto Fuyumi and looked at her politely, "Actually, I have other suggestions."
"What is it?" Sakamoto Fuyumi was intrigued.
Iwahashi Shinichi said seriously, "I kind of want to try it and let Sakamoto-san sing idol songs."
"Why?"
Iwahashi Shinichi saw her unexpected and somewhat funny expression, and suppressing his laughter, he continued: "Wear gorgeous idol costumes, sing and dance...and so on."
"This is definitely not possible!" Sakamoto Fuyumi waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't dance anymore, and I'm not that cute. The idols all look beautiful, but those gorgeous costumes don't suit me."
This reaction was like that of a student girl in the class who doesn't like to be in the limelight. She was suddenly called upon to perform at the party in the class meeting.
"Haha." Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't hold back and laughed.
He shook his head, "Although I want to pursue a sense of contrast, I don't suggest this because I want to see you make a fool of yourself... I really think that Sakamoto-san might be a good fit."
"Really?" Sakamoto Fuyumi still didn't quite believe it.
Iwahashi Shinichi affirmed, "Of course. I feel it is appropriate from the bottom of my heart."
With such certainty, Sakamoto Fuyumi's strong opposition just now was finally temporarily stopped. However, she was not fooled by Iwahashi Shinichi's few words.
Iwahashi Shinichi did not continue to argue with her on this matter. Sakamoto Fuyumi breathed a sigh of relief and began to think that his proposal just now was a joke...
But that's obviously not the case.
It is true that Shinichi Iwahashi wants Fuyumi Sakamoto to guest star as an idol, but the main purpose of this meeting is not to persuade her to sing idol songs in this project, but to ask her to help convey that he wants to visit Inamata Kosho later.
.
There was a singer he liked, and he had to ask Inomata Kosho to come forward to have the possibility of convincing her to come out... Although it was only possible. But Iwahashi Shinichi still felt it was a pity not to give it a try.
"Do you want me to say hello to the teacher?" Sakamoto Fuyumi understood.
She nodded, "That's no problem..."
Inomata Kimiaki loves Sakamoto Fuyumi as his own daughter. Not only did he live in his house before her debut, but she has also arranged the composition of her singles and planned her development path since her debut. Everyone in the industry knows that he likes this disciple.
For many things, you can get twice the result with half the effort by asking Sakamoto Fuyumi. Besides, asking Sakamoto Fuyumi to help convey it also conveys the content of this project to Inomata Official Seal first.
Sakamoto Fuyumi will definitely mention the project. Inomata Kanzaki has heard about it, and if he is interested, he will meet him.
Similarly, after meeting Inomata Kanzaki, if the teacher also thinks this project is good, it is not impossible to have Sakamoto Fuyumi to make a guest appearance as an idol with him on the side.
Unlike Manami Fujimura, who had to deal with many parties, all that was needed to deal with Fuyumi Sakamoto was the nod of Inamata official seal.
