The song for the collaboration was composed by Arashi Moritomo. As for the lyrics, because he was collaborating with an enka singer, when writing the song, through the introduction of Sakai Masatoshi, he got the help of the lyricist Amu Yoko, and it was written by Arashi Moritomo. It was changed based on the lyrics and used the writing technique of ballads.
Amu Yoko and Uzaki Ryūdo are a well-known husband-and-wife team in the industry, covering all aspects of enka, ballads, and pop. A considerable number of Yamaguchi Momoe's famous songs were provided by this couple.
This time, I asked her to help me, and also told her the setting and arrangement of the song, and based on this, I created the song.
The atmosphere of this song is quite melancholy and lingering. The final version of the lyrics has not yet been released, and I was just listening to the demo. Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised to receive such a song.
For no other reason than I feel that Moritomo Rashi expresses a kind of hesitation in love that goes beyond the scope of "writing homework" and seems to have actually happened in the song.
It's almost doubtful that this young man has really experienced some kind of bitter love where there is no hope, but he can't give up.
Watanabe Manyumi described Moritomo Arashi as a fragile and beautiful man. Every time he thought of her "fragile" comment, Iwahashi Shinichi had to admire the overbearing president's superior vision in his heart.
In any case, being able to come up with such a piece of music not only left Shinichi Iwahashi speechless, but Masato Sakai was also full of praise for this young man's creative ability after hearing the piece.
The former producer Momoe Yamaguchi was willing to help introduce famous artists like Amu Yoko, whom he knew well, to assist in composing lyrics. Naturally, it was not only because he was now responsible for Fuji Ayako's music production.
After Fujiaiko bowed to Shinichi Iwahashi, she greeted Moritomo Rashi, "Please give me your advice."
Moritomo Arashi had never seen such a formation. He was a little shy and a little reserved. He nodded and said "Yeah". After a pause, he came back to his senses and felt that this reaction was impolite, so he leaned back and said, "Please give me more advice." .”
"You don't look like a rock singer at all." After both parties entered the recording room, Masato Sakai complained to Shinichi Iwahashi. Of course, it was just a joke.
The singer who looks fierce on stage but shy off stage grabs a lot of them.
Iwahashi Shinichi just smiled, "It still depends on the expressiveness when singing."
Afterwards, Moritomo Rashi showed the singing skills and expressiveness that made Masato Sakai take back his words.
…
In July, the rainy season has its tail end.
July has just entered, and I don’t know what happened. It has been rainy for several days in a row. It stopped raining in the middle, and the sky was also gloomy.
Weather like this makes people dizzy.
Weather like this makes people feel grateful all the time. On the one hand, I am grateful for the great invention of the dryer, and on the other hand, I am grateful for the things that have not grown hair yet.
After the continuous rainy weather, the clouds cleared and the rain subsided on this day, and a rare super sunny day came.
In the morning, Shinichi Iwahashi came out of the bathroom. The dining table was already arranged.
When he went to Osaka last time, Mitsuo Terada promised to send dry food from his mother, and he brought it to Beijing as scheduled. And this morning, it was carefully cooked by Akina Nakamori and put on the table.
Thanks to the good social networking, those young men in Sheran Q, who dyed their hair in various colors and did not look like serious people, had to carry a bag of goodies to Beijing from time to time. The image of a handsome man that they had worked hard to create was in front of the bag of goodies. Nothing left.
This package of dry goods was brought to Yoyogi's recording studio by Mitsuo Terada as usual. Not long after the last large package was ordered, another package was immediately brought in. Everyone in the recording studio was consumed by the dry goods at the speed of Shin Iwahashi's family.
Stunned.
When the working girl Okada Yukiko passed by, she was surprised when she saw the new package of dry goods, and she admired Shinichi Iwahashi even more.
Iwahashi-san is indeed a master of cooking!
The first time she saw this situation, she knew how to hide it. The second time she saw such a package of useful information, Okada Yukiko's admiration was written directly on her face.
When Iwahashi Shinichi received Okada Yukiko's admiring gaze, he had no other choice but to pretend to be stupid. Looking at her appearance, if Iwahashi Shinichi dared to be polite and asked her to invite her to dinner, she would dare to agree to it.
Come home and wash the dishes.
If you are really a master of cooking and say otherwise, since it is a misunderstanding... you must talk less.
The mouth should be as tight as a clam shell.
Nakamori Akina kept her word and said she didn't want it. However, the two of them agreed not only not to send her dry goods, but also agreed to use them when she came to Iwahashi Shinichi's place.
He couldn't send dry goods to her house, so he had to wait for her to come to his house.
There are always more solutions than difficulties, and you must not waste valuable information.
It was a long-awaited sunny day. Shinichi Iwahashi woke up feeling refreshed, and Akina Nakamori was even more energetic. After breakfast, she excitedly suggested to him to take the quilt to the balcony to bask in the sun.
"I'll take it in for you when I leave." She was thoughtful enough.
Today, Akina Nakamori worked only in the afternoon. She was obedient and listened to what she was told. Naturally, she tidied up the house for Iwahashi Shinichi before going back. This shopping street kid likes tidying up the room the most, keeping everything neat and clean.
On a rare sunny day, if you don't clean and tidy the corners of the house, and don't take out the quilt to dry it, it seems like something is missing.
"Okay."
Iwahashi Shinichi saw that she was so eager to clean up the housework, so he would definitely not pour cold water on her.
The more he allowed her to mess around in his house, the happier Nakamori Akina felt, and she didn't feel that taking care of his daily life was boring at all.
Rather, she was looking forward to the freedom of organizing things in his home.
However, Nakamori Akina, who was so excited early this morning, was obviously not just because she could clean up the house on a sunny day.
Shinichi Iwahashi finished breakfast, checked the time, and got ready to go to work.
Before going out, Nakamori Akina happily agreed with him, "See you tomorrow~!"
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed, "I'll pack my luggage when I come back."
Akina Nakamori said "Hey" and glanced at him, "Have you not started packing yet?...Don't forget things."
"I can't forget it." Iwahashi Shinichi thought her appearance was childish and funny, so he couldn't help teasing her, "Don't lose sleep tonight."
Only elementary school students who are looking forward to and excited the day before the hike can't sleep.
Akina Nakamori made up for what Shinichi Iwahashi said in her mind, puffed up her cheeks and looked at him with squinted eyes, "No way."
Shin Iwahashi stopped as soon as he saw her, and told her, "I'm going out."
…
The two of them had agreed in advance to go out for fun in July, and tomorrow afternoon was the day to set off.
The rainy season has not ended yet, and as July enters, it continues to rain continuously. Although this situation was taken into consideration when making the plan, Nakamori Akina was still very happy that it was a sunny day before departure.
Tomorrow is Thursday, and the two of us are going to stay in the mountains of Ito for two days.
Akina Nakamori had two days off at the end of June. After deciding to go out together, Shinichi Iwahashi went to investigate a place that was not too far away from Tokyo and could have a quiet vacation without being disturbed, and showed it to her.
After deciding on a place, Shinichi Iwahashi put down the work at hand and made time to schedule it in advance to accommodate her schedule.
The 13th of this month is her birthday, but she has work on her birthday, so we may not be able to celebrate together. Going out to live together for two days can be regarded as part of the birthday celebration.
Moreover, in mid-July, just a few days after her birthday, she would go into the recording studio to plan an album.
When the time comes, we will have to compete with each other's acting skills, one by Iwahashi-san and the other by Akina-san.
The sunny day makes people feel happy. Shinichi Iwahashi went out, went to the company first, and then went to Sony's recording studio in the afternoon. Today, Ayako Fuji was not present, and only BOLAN was here to record the accompaniment track.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Masatoshi Sakai were both present, and they were thinking with the three young people about how to arrange it.
At the end of June, both parties were present. After recording together once, they recorded again on July 2. In the early stage, they were basically testing each other to see how far they could polish.
No singer who can be chosen to sing an encore has poor singing skills. No matter how bad he is, he can still sing better than a pop singer.
But on the other hand, for pop music singers, recognition is more important than singing skills. Because pop music can be imitated, it doesn’t matter if it’s just a little bit close. But singing requires the audience to sit in the audience and enjoy it quietly, so
No flaws are allowed.
Moritomo Arashi's singing skills are solid, which is reassuring.
A collaboration with too different styles requires special attention to communication. This is why the recording of this collaboration is not progressing quickly. Singers need to communicate with each other, and singers and producers also need to communicate.
Under such circumstances, although it was Ayako Fuji who had the stronger singing skills, it was Arashi Moritomo who performed better.
Moritomo Arashi, who wrote this sad and lingering song, once again made Iwahashi Shinichi secretly wonder in his heart during the recording, whether this young man really had such a hopeless life in a corner that no one else knew about.
Love?
Of course, I'm just thinking about it secretly.
Rashi Moritomo, who has a mysterious relationship gap, performed well. In contrast, Ayako Fuji is still in the exploratory stage.
…
The sunny weather on Wednesday passed, but on the next day, it became cloudy again early in the morning, and it looked like raindrops might fall at any time.
Before Iwahashi went out, he took the travel bag he packed last night and put it in the trunk. This morning, he wanted to go to Toshiba EMI's recording studio to meet the "Tai Mei Criminals" first.
Sakamoto Fuyumi with the cute bun face - when we met again today, I suddenly found that her bun face had become smaller. She looked slimmer and more delicate.
"I have been losing weight since I received the complete plan." Sakamoto Fuyumi met Iwahashi Shinichi and said to him.
She sighed and told him seriously, "I was very shy when singing idol songs, but I didn't expect that I would be sharing the stage with idols like Minamino Yoko-chan and Asaka Yui-chan. It was too much to hang around them.
I'm sorry."
"No problem, Sakamoto-san is just as cute as Sakamoto-san." Shinichi Iwahashi encouraged her.
Sakamoto Fuyumi couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said, but she was relieved, or maybe she couldn't argue with him, so she told him instead, "The person who helped me lose weight was Manami——"
Remembering that Shinichi Iwahashi might not know Fujiaiko's real name, he changed his mind again, "Fujiaiko-chan."
"Ayako-chan also helped me read diet recipes and told me to eat well every day," Sakamoto Fuyumi said.
Iwahashi Shinichi listened and said, "I know the other side of Fuji-san."
"Despite her appearance of being unapproachable, she is actually warm-hearted, innocent and cheerful." What Fuyumi Sakamoto said seemed to be a different person from the Fujiaiko Iwahashi Shinichi had met.
Minamino Yoko and Asaka Yui came over at about the same time. The two girls were still talking when they came in. It seemed that their relationship was not bad.
The two girls debuted at about the same time, and they both became popular with "Tai Mei Criminal", so it is inevitable that they will be discussed together. However, neither party seems to care much about this.
On the other hand, it is precisely because I don't care about the label of "Tai Mei Criminal" and I don't mind sharing the stage with the heroine of the same series of TV series that this invitation will go so smoothly. Otherwise, at least one party will oppose this project.
The biggest obstacle is Shunichi Mizukura, and his objection is not because he doesn’t want them to share the stage.
Minamino Yoko's record company is Sony, and Asaka Yui's record company is Hummingbird Records. This record company is a new company established by some people from Warner before becoming independent, and Asaka Yui is their trump card.
The two girls debuted at the same time, and their popularity is not much different. However, Minamino Yoko is two years older than Asaka Yui, so Minamino Yoko should speak first.
However, Yui Asaka, who has a more lively personality, spoke first.
Yui Asaka is quite small. The height data announced by the agency is 151 centimeters, but in fact she looks even petite. When she first debuted, she was a child with baby fat on her face and looked like a primary school student. Now she is wider
Yes, she has delicate features and is very cute.
It was the first time for Shinichi Iwahashi to meet Yui Asaka.
Idols have impeccable etiquette when facing producers. Yui Asaka bowed, announced her name, and said hello to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Also bowing her head with her was the agent accompanying her.
After saying hello to Yui Asaka, he turned his eyes to Minamino Yoko's face.
Minamino Yoko had a rather gentle personality, but Asaka was the first to get the upper hand, so she waited patiently and silently looked at Shinichi Iwahashi. She quietly looked at the young producer, comparing him to "Iwahashi-san" in her mind.
"The image of the sign.
She remembered that she had heard a lot about "Iwahashi-san" from Okada Yukiko's place.
Iwahashi-san is a great producer, Iwahashi-san has a great mind, Iwahashi-san is very gentle... Thanks to Okada Yukiko, Minamino Yoko also got to know Iwahashi Shinichi on one side.
I never thought that I would receive his invitation one day.
Just as he was thinking about this, Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly looked over. Their eyes happened to touch each other, and Minamino Yoko couldn't help but smiled——
Then, he immediately reacted and bowed to Shinichi Iwahashi with this smile: "Hello, Iwahashi-san, I am Minamino Yoko. Please take good care of me."
"Hello, Minami-san." Shinichi Iwahashi bowed and returned the greeting.
Then, he exchanged business cards with the managers of Minano Yoko and Asaka Yui.
