It was almost 8:30 pm when I left BEING's recording studio. Before Ikeda and Daikuro Maki came over, they didn't expect to stay in the recording studio for so long.
Originally, I had work tonight, and Oda Tetsuro himself was not very keen on communicating with others, so I thought I would sing a song and if things went well, I would take the opportunity to chat for a while, so I left soon and went back.
Unexpectedly, things progressed much more smoothly than Ikeda expected.
Ikeda persuaded Oda Tetsuro to agree to meet her on the grounds that Daikuro Maki's voice matched the song Oda Tetsuro was producing.
Although the reason was to achieve the purpose of introducing them to meet, Ikeda's words were definitely not nonsense. After all, if he lied about this matter, not only would he fail to achieve his goal, but it would also bring about the worst consequences.
But after actually entering the recording studio, Okuro Maki's performance was more stable than Ikeda imagined. Her performance also won the heart of Oda Tetsuro.
"I will give this song to you now and let you use it to release a single. I really think so."
Oda Tetsuro even said this to Daikoku Maki.
Although composing is a job of the composer, the composer himself also has his own preferences for singers. Otherwise, there would be no situation where a composer specially sends a song to a certain singer in the hope that the singer can sing.
.
Oda Tetsuro was not very good at praising others—just as he was not very good at praising himself. Therefore, the best way to express his approval was to express his willingness to sing his favorite music to her.
However, facing such comments and praise from the most famous composer he had seen since coming to Beijing, Daikoku Moji was not frightened. He was happy, but not joyful.
She was generous and told Oda Tetsuro, who met her for the first time, that if possible, she would rather sing the song she wrote.
In front of people with a higher status than himself, Dai Heimoji seemed not submissive enough.
When I went to meet Nagato Daiyuki earlier, she had such a straightforward attitude that she would say whatever she had to say. For Nagato Daiyuki, who hated people with excessive personalities the most, such Daikoku Moki was annoying.
However, for Oda Tetsuro, who was not good at small talk or hypocritical polite words, this kind of frankness made him feel comfortable.
Daikuro Maki's straightforward, cheerful, and generous personality, which does not give people a sense of oppression, but makes people feel relaxed and comfortable, makes Oda Tetsuro quite relaxed and natural in the process of communicating with her.
"I've listened to your demo tape. Is it a song you wrote yourself?" Oda Tetsuro took the initiative to mention it.
Following this topic, the two chatted about music, and they were quite speculative. The talent of Daikoku Moki shone brightly in the process of communication, and people could not ignore it.
Oda Tetsuro remembered what Nagato Daiyuki told him about giving Daikoku Moki a chance. While he was happy that Nagato Daiyuki had recruited a talented newcomer, he also looked forward to more success after she joined BEING.
Opportunities for communication.
The conversation was in full swing, so he blurted out what came to his mind and said: "How are you thinking about joining BEING, Daikoku-san? I heard from President Nagato that he is waiting for your reply."
Oda Tetsuro said in a sincere tone, "If possible, I hope Daikoku-san can seriously consider BEING."
However, upon hearing his words, both Daikoku Moki and Ikeda's reactions were subtle for a moment. Fortunately, Ikeda reacted immediately and remained calm.
However, Dai Heimoji remained silent for a moment.
"President Nagato said, are you waiting for my answer?" She reacted for a while before slowly asking the question.
When Oda Tetsuro was about to say something, a hint of shyness suddenly appeared on his face, as if he had swallowed the words by force, and he just nodded.
He is not good at disguise, and everything is written on his face. As for Daikoku Maki, although she was the eldest daughter of the president's family when she was in her hometown in Hokkaido, she has nothing to do with words like "unreasonable".
She could tell at a glance that Oda Tetsuro had something to say, and the reason why he couldn't say these words was because he was facing her——
In the words, there seemed to be an atmosphere that President Nagato cherished talents and hoped to invite her to join the company, but she had many concerns and had not yet made up her mind to make BEING her first choice. Such an atmosphere.
He made a derogatory sarcastic comment on her, and then said that at her level, she was just a harmony voice... Would Nagato Daiyuki, who said this, really expect her to join the company?
Although Ikeda had been persuading her by saying, "President Nagato is deliberately attacking you because he thinks highly of you," Daikoku Maki was only half-convinced by this statement.
What's more, the information revealed in Oda Tetsuro's words and reactions made it sound as if she was the one who had the initiative and stood in a high position, not the worthless President Nagato who belittled her.
No matter how you think about it, it feels weird.
Daikoku Maki was initially a little bit accepting of Ikeda's persuasion, but after listening to Oda Tetsuro's words, he felt a little bit more subtle, like being knocked back by Nagato Daiyuki. He believed it after being persuaded before.
They were all put aside first.
I feel awkward, so the best way is to talk it out directly——
If she thinks so, she can take action immediately.
"President Nagato, are you waiting for my answer?"
Daikuro Moki carefully thought about his words, but he said straightforwardly, "However, President Nagato told me that I will join the company, but I can only be a harmonious person."
Ikeda was listening next to him, his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly cheered.
President Nagato once said something to Okoku Maki, and he couldn't tell Oda Tetsuro. But Okoku Maki said it as a matter of course. After saying that, he carefully went to see Oda Tetsuro, guessing that this great composer
What will be the reaction?
Oda Tetsuro couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Daikuro Moki's words.
When President Nagato said he would give her a chance, did he mean to give her a chance to be a vocalist?
After listening to her original songs, listening to her singing skills in the recording studio, and communicating with her about music creation, Oda Tetsuro would never think that Daikoku Maki "can only be a harmony member."
For someone with such talent, it would be no problem for him to debut as a solo singer right away.
But there was no need for Daikoku Maki to lie. Besides, Ikeda was also present.
Is there any misunderstanding in it?
Oda Tetsuro was wavering in his heart for a moment. He didn't think Daikoku Maki was lying, but he also couldn't understand why President Nagato spoke so highly of Daikoku Maki.
Could it be that President Nagato has a different view?
Unexpectedly, his promise to Ikeda to meet Daikoku Maki would turn things like this. Oda Tetsuro tried hard to say something, but the matter was obviously beyond his ability to handle. However, just giving up, he
I feel sad again.
After a pause, he finally came up with the best way to deal with it -
Oda Tetsuro took the initiative and hoped to exchange pager numbers with Daikoku Maki.
Oda Tetsuro is going to go to Nagato Daiyuki to personally ask about this Daikoku Moki. If there is any misunderstanding, it would be great if this misunderstanding can be resolved.
He really couldn't imagine that Nagato Daiyuki, who loved him like an elder brother, would say such harsh words to Daikoku Moki.
Although Oda Tetsuro is not keen on communicating with others, he is a bit of an idealist of sympathy between musicians. In the end, even if Daikuro Maki failed to join BEING, at least he wanted to understand why President Nagato treated him that way.
she.
After exchanging pager numbers, before leaving, Oda Tetsuro said to her, "Next time, if there is a good song, how about asking you to listen to it?"
Nagato Daiyuki is Nagato Daiyuki, and Oda Tetsuro is Oda Tetsuro.
Daikoku Moki understood the difference clearly and readily agreed. Not only that, but he also took the initiative to say: "If you need my help in auditioning songs, please feel free to ask me."
Oda Tetsuro thought so too, and couldn't help but smile when he heard what she said.
Tonight, Oda Tetsuro tried his best to show kindness to Daikoku Maki. It is self-evident how good his impression of Daikoku Maki was.
Daikuro Maki also had a very good impression of Oda Tetsuro.
…
Ikeda had to participate in the recording next, and it was inconvenient to leave for a while to send Daikuro Maki back, so he just sent her outside the recording studio.
In fact, I sent this short paragraph because Ikeda had something to say to Daikoku Moki.
"Very good."
After leaving the recording studio, Ikeda was finally able to openly express his joy, "With Oda-san's help, things might be different."
Daikuro Moki smiled, thanking Ikeda for his kindness in his heart, feeling his enthusiasm to help him, and his innocence in how he looked at things.
"Thank you for today, Ikeda-san." Daikuro Moki said.
She was generous and said goodbye to Ikeda. Ikeda happily turned around and headed to the recording studio, looking even happier than if he had encountered something good.
Such Ikeda made Daikuro Moki thank him from the bottom of his heart. Although Nagato Daiyuki himself was unpleasant, the people she met at BEING were all very good.
There was no one to keep company, and Daikuro Moki didn't want to hang out and drink anywhere, so she went home directly. Two days later, Oda Tetsuro, who had exchanged pager numbers with her, did not contact him, and the situation in Ikeda was also calm.
.
But on Friday night, when she went home and checked her mailbox, she found a letter from GenZo inside.
Daikuro Moki opened the letter while walking upstairs. The content inside was that GenZo was very interested in the audition tape she sent and hoped to have a face-to-face talk with her next Monday.
After reading the letter, Dai Hei Moji also stood at the door of the house. She paused and took out the key to open the door.
…
After office workers started to have two days off, they had two good days on Saturday and Sunday. However, for those working in the industry, not many people can enjoy the benefits of this two-day off system.
Especially for a small boss like Shinichi Iwahashi who was working multiple jobs in the early days of his business, his holidays were requisitioned as soon as they were available.
I went out to drink wine on Friday night, and got up from bed in a daze on Saturday morning, arranging myself. There was no official record company business in the itinerary, but there was an itinerary for attending a tour meeting today.
There is still more than a month left before DREAMS COME TRUE’s circus tour, and the deadline for voting for concert song selection is about half a month away.
During this period, Sony cooperated with U-MIZ, and after a large-scale single promotion, they began to advertise the tour with great fanfare. According to the plan, the advertisement mentioned that "Eyes to me" comes with voting coupons for the songs to be performed on the tour.
As a result, there was another wave of advertising for the single. People who didn't want to buy the single originally bought one in order to participate in voting for the song selection for the tour.
In this way, there is another wave of assists.
Since the release of this single, sales exploded in the first two weeks, and then became frighteningly stable. With a huge advantage, it won the monthly single championship in April, and its stamina has not diminished at all on the way to hitting the million-dollar single list.
.
Today, DREAMS COME TRUE is unparalleled in the limelight. Not only are invitations to performances pouring in, but also advertisers are sending invitations to Miwa-chan.
As for the ticket sales for the circus tour in the future, it seems that there is no need to worry about it now.
A band that is famous for its outstanding live performances and is still in the limelight, selling concert tickets without any pressure.
Watanabe Manyumi's U-MIZ's advertising quotation for the DREAMS COME TRUE group is 20 million yen, while Miwa-chan's alone is 15 million yen.
By the way, the advertising invitations sent to the office were all for Miwa-chan.
When the band was founded, Shinichi Iwahashi hoped that the center of the band would be Miwa-chan no matter what. Now it seems that his idea has been realized.
When the outside world mentions DREAMS COME TRUE, it is Yoshida Miwa-san and the mascot Giraffe-kun.
However, unlike Miwa-chan who is a real celebrity, Giraffe-kun is purely because of his big goals and looks conspicuous.
"Isn't the image of a giraffe man quite cute? Advertisers should also consider using Shinichi-kun." As soon as they met, Miwa-chan had a crooked neck and leaned next to Iwahashi Shinichi to bite his ear.
Brother Nakamura had a smile on his face, ignored these two guys, and started discussing matters related to the upcoming tour with the staff of the office.
The three people are now in the conference room of the office.
A few days ago, her agent brought an invitation from an advertiser to Miwa-chan. It was the first time in her life that she had been favored by an advertiser. She was so proud that when she saw Iwahashi Shinichi, she couldn't wait to share it with him.
If it weren't for the rare fact that Shinichi Iwahashi is currently busy with his record company, she would have started showing off this way long ago.
It seems that as soon as the commercial was filmed, she became a big star. And he and Brother Nakamura were the little brothers of the big star.
"You can recommend me to advertisers." Shinichi Iwahashi accepted the little fox's smug show off and replied, "As long as I have five million yen, I will shoot."
He doesn't have high requirements at all, he just wants to earn extra money.
"You're so easy to talk to. If I were an advertiser, I would definitely hire you." Miwa-chan pretended.
After saying this, the little fox began to show its fox tail, "However, I helped choose Shen Yijun's headgear..."
In the past, I was just proud of her explosive and weird aesthetic, but now I want to take advantage of her.
Iwahashi Shinichi calmly changed the topic and asked her: "What kind of advertiser is looking for you?"
