After the plan was finalized, Yanyin came forward to mediate with Warner, and Watanabe Manyumi was responsible for communicating with Toshiba EMI. Then the initiator of the plan, Iwahashi Shinichi, communicated with different forces on the matter.
The initial consensus reached is that the collaborative song will be released as a single, and will be released in two different versions by Warner and Toshiba EMI. The first version will be led by Akina Nakamori, and the ORIGINAL LOVE version will be released later.
In addition, the song will be included in the collaborative album led by Shinichi Iwahashi as part of the planned collaboration.
Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi is also the song producer.
Because two different versions were produced separately, the various copyrights of the song were also divided into two, with Warner and Toshiba EMI each getting their own share.
As long as Shinichi Iwahashi, who has the rights to distribute the album, wants to include the version led by Akina Nakamori into the collaborative album, the rights to use this aspect will have to be negotiated with Warner.
Here we need to mention something called "original disk rights".
Roughly speaking, the so-called "original disc" refers to the master tape of the record, and the original disc right is the copyright of the master tape, which is usually in the hands of the record company. Shinichi Iwahashi wants to include this song in the collaborative album
Here, what you need is the consent of the song publisher and the right to use the master tape.
The original disc rights are so binding that many singers suffered greatly after terminating their contracts with their original companies.
If the contract with the record company ends and the original record rights of the songs released during the contract period are still in the hands of the original record company, then the company has the right to send out love guaranteeing the original master tape production without the singer's consent.
A selection of gift packages.
But on the other hand, because the singer himself does not have the rights to the original record, if he does not get permission from the original record company, if he wants to include his previous songs in the record, he will have to re-arrange the songs and sing them again to ensure that the original songs are not used.
audio source, otherwise you will be sued for infringement.
Seriously speaking, although the songwriters themselves own the copyright of the songs, basically when using the songs they created, they only need to pay the royalties to the Music Association and ensure that they have royalties to collect, regardless of the issue of politeness.
, you can even use it without saying hello to them at all. What really gets people stuck is actually the copyright issues related to the publisher.
In other words, it is always the forces that rule the industry that hold people back, not the people who survive in the industry.
Senior wage earners are also wage earners.
At this stage, the ownership and use of the copyright, as well as various matters related to distribution, are decided. The interests of all parties are determined, and only then will the singers take their turn to appear.
Even if you are a producer, if you are only responsible for music production and are not involved in anything other than music, you should temporarily postpone the appearance order, and you will have your turn to appear later.
At the next stage, Akina Nakamori, her own music producer, and the singer from the planning center also appeared at the meeting venue.
…
Today, people from all four parties gathered together for the first time. The people involved had complex backgrounds, and the venue for the preliminary discussions was better to be outside than in a certain party's conference room.
The new round of meeting was held in a beautiful hotel in Tokyo, where we talked about things while enjoying food. Of course, the person responsible for paying the bill was Watanabe Manyumi, the boss of ORIGINAL LOVE and the partner of the initiator of the cooperative project.
Iwahashi Shinichi showed up happily as if nothing had happened, and he would not pay an extra dollar if he could have a meal.
There is a lot of money and money outside, and the entertainment expenses in the industry are also rising. With the increase every year, even small companies, in such a big environment, if they want to knock on the door, they have to raise the standard of entertainment expenses to cater to the current situation.
Mainstream.
That is to say, Watanabe Manyuumi has a lot of blood, and there is also a newly-grown money tree called DREAMS COME TRUE in the office. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a newly opened company to operate in this era.
In a sense, while the threshold for hospitality has increased, it has also made it more difficult for small firms to survive. In such an era, it is not difficult to understand why dark forces in the industry like BURNING are so popular.
The host was Watanabe Mayumi, and she was naturally the first to arrive. Come here early to confirm the layout of the venue and the subsequent menu.
Iwahashi Shinichi followed her there, and after arriving, he used to choose the seat next to her. Over at ORIGINAL LOVE, Tajima Takao, the absolute core figure of the band, came as a representative - but he just sat obediently and listened.
.
Tajima Takao is present, and the protagonist of this cooperation stage, Nakamori Akina, will naturally come too. And unlike the unknown newcomer who has little autonomy, in the following meeting, if there is something that does not suit her, she can directly raise it
objectionable.
Shinichi Iwahashi, a master of pretending, was thinking about how Akina Nakamori would accompany him in pretending. Even though she hadn't arrived yet, he thought it was interesting.
Watanabe Wan Yumi glanced at him and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt it was boring, so forget it.
Not long after, people from Kenyin arrived. Unexpectedly, one of the people who arrived was Nozaki Kenichiro. He was tall, and Nakamori Akina followed behind him, making him look even smaller.
With Mr. Nozaki standing in front, and Akina Nakamori behind him, she had more room to look around the court first.
I saw Shinichi Iwahashi at a glance. He was in a suit and leather shoes and was in excellent condition. I didn't usually have the opportunity to see him in a business-like manner in the workplace, but now that I saw him, I felt a little strange.
Kenichiro Nozaki and Shinichi Iwahashi were friends, and Akina Nakamori had known about it for a long time. After the two exchanged greetings, her eyes could not avoid falling on the professional woman who was with Shinichi Iwahashi.
Kenichiro-san called her "Manyumi-senpai" very affectionately.
Akina Nakamori was introduced before she came. She was Watanabe Manyuumi-san, the president of ORIGINAL LOVE Office. She is the second daughter of Watanabe, a producer in the industry.
Kenichiro Nozaki's greetings ended and it was her turn to say hello.
Akina Nakamori bowed to Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe. After she straightened up, she didn't look at Shinichi Iwahashi, but subconsciously focused on Watanabe Mayumi.
She has met this Watanabe-san...
This idea came to Nakamori Akina's mind only after seeing her in person.
This thought swirled around in her mind, and she couldn't help but look at Watanabe Wanyumi. As a result, she found Watanabe Wanyumi's eyes also looking at her.
"Actually, this is not the first time I've met Nakamori-san." Watanabe Mayumi said generously.
However, instead of saying this to Akina Nakamori, she was saying it to Kenichiro Nozaki. While saying this, Watanabe Wan Yumi's eyes left her.
"Yeah?"
