Iwahashi Shinichi told Watanabe Wan Yumi that he planned to hire someone from Star Agency, "There is a model named Utoku Keiko... who came to the audition with Kamaike-san."
Watanabe Manyumi recalled for a while, vaguely remembering that there was such a person.
She nodded and asked, "How do you plan to arrange it?"
"I'm not sure yet." Before signing the person, Iwahashi Shinichi was vague as usual.
Watanabe Wan Yumi is already very familiar with his nature. She doesn't have any objections. Anyway, she has always insisted that laymen should not command insiders, but she still reminds them appropriately, "If you don't have a plan, Xingchen may not agree to let you go."
."
Although Keiko Utoku is just a small model, she can still make some money by continuing to be a model. However, Shinichi Iwahashi wants to leave. If there are no corresponding arrangements, then this will be gone.
Give him whatever he wants, no matter the reason. Only Watanabe Manyumi can give him this kind of trust.
Iwahashi Shinichi is not unclear, "Anyway, let's make a decision with Xingchen first and be a backup vocalist in the recording studio. Anyway, no matter how you debut, you need to train for a while before debuting."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it and said, "Let's look at the situation, or recommend her to Nagato-san of BEING and let her be the backing vocalist of the new group... Nagato-san is not doing it for the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan".
We have carefully planned a limited edition set."
Shinichi Iwahashi told Watanabe Manyumi about the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan", the copyright distribution plan, and the fact that Nagato Daiko was solely responsible for the single production.
Nagato Daiyuki's production company has ready-made lead singers and musicians, but the beautiful harmonies for the three female officials have to be found from scratch. I recommended Utoku Keiko to him——
With the release of the single, the limited group they formed will only be active for about a year. Let Keiko Utoku work in the group when there are performances, and return to the recording studio when there are no performances. After practicing for a year, debuting will not be a problem.
If Nagato Daiyuki doesn't want it, he will ask Utoku Keiko to be the backing vocalist for ZARD. In short, book the person first and talk about the rest later.
Book Utoku Keiko first, lest she continue to work as a karaoke queen and waste her own conditions.
As for the matter of debut, I will study it slowly after I become familiar with it.
The fact that he didn't discuss the plan with Watanabe Manyumi in detail wasn't because he was deliberately showing off. It was because he really wasn't quite sure yet.
Utoku Keiko's personal presence is relatively weak. She appeared on the stage as a solo singer and seemed unable to hold the spotlight. However, it was not easy to form a band for her.
What's more, the reason why Utoku Keiko was kicked out of the interview was not entirely because Kamaike Sachiko was already confirmed, but also because he felt that Utoku Keiko didn't get along with the original ABNORMAL team.
If we really want to prepare a band for her, what kind of band will be able to get along well with her is another big question.
She and Kamai Sachiko may seem similar in temperament at first glance, but in fact they are quite different.
He did not intend to continue, and Watanabe Manyumi also stopped. The two of them put aside Keiko Utoku's case in advance - of course, they acquiesced in the matter of Iwahashi Shinichi going to the Star Office to ask for someone after he passed.
Next, let’s talk about something else.
After a lunch, there are definitely more topics coming out of your stomach than the food you eat.
…
After the plate was removed, Watanabe Mayumi seemed to have just remembered it and said to Iwahashi Shinichi, "I have good news that I want to tell you."
This time, it was Iwahashi Shinichi who teased her, "I waited until now to think of the good news I wanted to tell you. It feels unreliable."
Ordinarily, when you have good news in your heart, wouldn’t you be able to hold back and tell it when you should meet?
Watanabe Manyumi heard the hidden meaning of his words, smiled, and said with ease, "Good news that comes later is also good news."
"Well, that makes sense."
After all, it was good news. Shinichi Iwahashi acted like he was all ears.
"Didn't you always say before that you would also take some advertisements for you?"
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "That's what I said." Looking at her, "Is it possible that an advertiser really came to visit?"
"If you are just Giraffe-kun, no advertisers will come to you specifically." Watanabe Manyumi gave a knowing blow.
Iwahashi Shinichi had no second reaction other than "...".
But she knew very well in her heart that Watanabe Mayumi told the truth, a man wearing a giraffe hood appeared in the TV commercial - if it was just for this effect, there was no need to go out of his way to find a member of a popular band.
After all, the band’s facade is the unique and irreplaceable Miwajiang.
Only when Miwa-chan appears, the giraffe man is DREAMS COME TRUE giraffe man. Otherwise, it is no different from anyone on the street putting on a hood and hanging out.
The commercial value of Dolimuzcom Turu is 20 million yen, and Miwa-chan, who starred in a lip balm commercial, received 15 million yen.
"so……"
"So, it's an advertisement for the band."
That's not bad. At least he and Nakamura-san also had broth to drink this time. Unlike the previous lip balm commercials, they could only watch Miwa-chan pouting her lips in a grand manner, looking like a big star.
However, Watanabe Manyumi said, changing the subject, "The advertiser specifically mentioned that KIRIN-kun of the band must appear. Not only that, although it is in the name of the band, there is an advertising fee for KIRIN-kun."
"Yeah?"
Hearing that there was extra money, Iwahashi Shinichi became serious.
Watanabe Mayumi finally revealed the answer, "It's an advertisement for Kirin Beer."
The "Kirin" of Kirin Beer and the "KIRIN" of Giraffe-kun are the same "KIRIN".
Therefore, Mr. KIRIN of the band must appear, and he will have a lot of scenes.
Shinichi Iwahashi laughed after hearing this, "That's it! It's indeed good news." He looked at Watanabe Wan Yumi and said deliberately: "After all, I still want to thank you for your help,...BOSS."
He was extremely precise and hit the point of smile of Watanabe Mayumi.
I recommended myself to the boss of the agency again and again, and finally got an opportunity to increase my income. It was really gratifying. For Shinichi Iwahashi, shooting advertisements was purely about making extra money, and every profit was worth it.
After all, no one will think they have too much money.
Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't mind it, and neither does Nakamura brother.
Later, when he learned that the band was going to shoot a Kirin Beer commercial, his two teammates were also overjoyed.
Miwa-chan, the band's only female star, has a shaky record of being the only one to have filmed commercials, but that doesn't stop her from being happy about the advertising money coming in again.
By the way, she was even more smug, bragging that she had chosen the giraffe headgear. It seemed that this erroneous choice proved that her aesthetics was not explosive, but rather unique.
It seems that she won't be able to learn it in a while.
Kirin Beer's commercial will be aired in the summer, and the advertiser negotiated in advance and decided on the band.
Once it becomes popular, the opportunity will come and it will be given away as soon as possible.
But then again, inviting Miwa-chan to shoot a lip balm commercial, and asking a band to shoot a Kirin beer commercial...
Advertisers are really very discerning.
…
In the evening, when Shinichi Iwahashi came home, there was a message from Akina Nakamori on the phone.
He called her back and heard her tell him, "I told my mother that I would go see her tomorrow... and asked my mother to prepare fried burgers."
Speaking of fried burgers, Shinichi Iwahashi smiled.
As soon as he smiled, Nakamori Akina was a little dissatisfied, "Shinichi-kun, why are you laughing?"
I couldn't see his expression through the phone line, so I couldn't guess whether this Taopusta was pretending to be angry, or whether he was really acting coquettishly with one cheek puffed out.
Iwahashi Shinichi changed the subject and asked her to tell her the route to her hometown.
He had to go to work the next day, so he went to have a meal at noon. It was inconvenient for two people to go together, and it also looked conspicuous.
Akina Nakamori made a sound and said, "How cunning."
Iwahashi Shinichi accepted her "cunning" comment and reminded her, "I've prepared paper and pen."
"Yeah, yeah!" Akina Nakamori said as if she had everything covered.
However, when it comes to talking about it, the secret begins to show up. Except for the part "First go to Kiyose Station" that is clearly understood, and then it is rambled on, Iwahashi Shinichi seems to be led by her nose. He drew it in the itinerary for a long time and raised his hand.
surrender--
"Stop it now!" he sighed.
Akina Nakamori laughed across the phone line. It seemed that she didn't know that she was a bit blind in giving directions. However, after all, her level was limited, and there was nothing she could do about blind giving. In addition, she may not have been mischievous.
"If Mr. Shen Yi came here, wouldn't it be necessary to do this?" After giving the blind instructions, Zhongsen Paper Tiger also took the opportunity to beat him up.
Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to accept the order.
It's best not to talk back on the phone when you're not face to face, lest you come and go back and forth, which was originally a joke but actually made you really angry in the end.
Fortunately, shopping street children are best at memorizing various signs and landmarks along the way, and the area where the Nakamori family is located has generally not changed much from before her debut to now.
In fact, after eliminating the parts she rambled on, leaving only the key points, and redrawing a map, it still looked clear and easy to understand.
After all, Kiyose is not a prosperous or complicated place.
"Then see you tomorrow."
Iwahashi Shinichi drew the map and told her.
…
Shinichi Iwahashi was going to have lunch at noon, while Akina Nakamori was packing her things early in the morning, preparing to go back to visit Chieko.
I set off early, and when I passed by the building belonging to the Nakamori family in front of Kiyose Station, my father, brother and sister who opened a shop there had not yet started preparations for opening the shop.
The building was built on the only way back to my hometown. Every time I come back to visit my mother, I have to pass by this building that once held good expectations, but now looks like a chained stone pile smashed into the ground.
When business is not good, there is little energy in preparing to open the store, and it is often delayed until very late. The preparation for opening the store is not timely enough, which intensifies the desertedness of the store. A vicious cycle.
After Akina Nakamori planned to sell the building, she passed by the building again and looked at the deserted shops, and her mood changed accordingly.
Shinichi Iwahashi told her that the building was also an invisible chain tied to the family. Afterwards, she told Chieko what Shinichi Iwahashi said and followed his advice to seek help from Chieko.
When she told her mother that she wanted to sell the building, who most wanted to see the family live in harmony, Akina Nakamori was a little worried, fearing that Chieko would be angry with her suggestion.
However, when she revealed her plan, Chieko was not angry.
The mother also realized that the existence of that building would actually increase the misfortune?
In her heart, Akina Nakamori felt a little guilty for having built the building, but also felt disappointed that the family harmony she expected would eventually come to nothing.
But in addition to this, there is also Shinichi Iwahashi’s enlightenment and encouragement, as well as his mother’s support...
Her favorite mother, her favorite Shinichi Iwahashi.
As well as her mother and Iwahashi Shinichi who will stand by her side, think for her, and not be afraid of trouble even if it is troublesome.
Her mood suddenly improved, she averted her gaze, and continued to drive forward.
…
Akina Nakamori said she would come today. In the morning, after Chieko got up, she unlocked the door and waited for her daughter. She told Shinichi Iwahashi that he wanted to eat fried burgers, and Chieko also went to buy ingredients for making fried burgers the evening before.
It was not a day off, so there was no need to send the child to Chieko to take care of her. Chieko was the only one at home today. Knowing this, Akina Nakamori brought Shinichi Iwahashi back.
She knew this tacitly, and Chieko didn't understand it either.
In fact, unlike Akina Nakamori, who had a delicate relationship with her brothers and sisters because of money, the children in this family have always loved their mother, Chieko.
Rather, it is because Chieko is still here that the brothers and sisters of the Nakamori family are still a family. The more this is the case, the more Chieko feels in her heart, the more she loves her daughter Akina, who seems to have become an outlier in the family just because she became a star.
But Chieko buried these emotions deep in her heart.
For the mother, if she puts her love for this daughter in the open, it means blaming other children.
"I'm back~Mother!"
Nakamori Akina stood in front of the entrance. When it was time to change her shoes, she called Chieko energetically.
Chieko is now extremely sensitive to sounds. When her daughter opened the door just now, she heard the sound first. At this time, when she came out of the living room and looked at her childish-looking daughter, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Welcome back, Akina-chan."
Nakamori Akina carried the gifts she brought and walked to the living room with great momentum, "I brought gifts for my mother. There are also gifts for Heita-kun... and others."
Chieko went to make tea and prepare snacks for her daughter.
After answering the phone yesterday morning, when Chieko went to buy ingredients in the afternoon, she also bought the Japanese sweets that Akina Nakamori liked.
The mother and daughter were sitting in the Japanese-style living room. Nakamori Akina took a bite of the snack and drank a sip of Japanese tea, as if she was swallowing happiness in one mouthful.
"Iwaqiao has work today and won't be here until noon."
While explaining to Chieko, Nakamori Akina took advantage of the fact that Iwahashi Shinichi was not present and made some jokes about him to her mother, "Iwahashi is an office worker... But, he is not an ordinary office worker, he is the president-san.
