741. The Road to Independence

The next time Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina met again in the recording studio, the tense atmosphere of their previous unhappy breakup was gone. The two greeted each other, sat down, and began to discuss things calmly.

The staff in the recording studio breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised the two of them in their hearts.

He is a professional musician indeed!

Omoto is even more pleased that Akina Nakamori has finally grown a bit more diplomatic, and knows how to calmly communicate and discuss with producers who have different opinions than her own, instead of insisting on insisting on her own ideas.

As an agent, he can feel relieved now...

It’s strange to be relieved!

After discussing for a while, they went into the studio to try out the singing twice. The two of them started talking to each other again, and the atmosphere gradually became uncomfortable.

As Nakamori Akina said angrily: "You guy!"

Omoto's expression changed, and he quickly bowed to Iwahashi Shinichi, "I'm so sorry, Iwahashi-san." He kept apologizing while sighing in his heart. As expected, nature is easy to change and hard to change.

Thanks to Iwahashi-san's good temper, he didn't fall out and quarrel on the spot. Omoto was very grateful to Iwahashi-san in his heart.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

We had privately agreed to discuss and explore together to find a solution that both of us could agree with. This was certainly true. However, in actual practice, Nakamori Akina's impatience and stubbornness made Shinichi Iwahashi used to saying the same thing in the recording studio.

It is impossible for any authority to disappear just because of such an agreement.

When I really start working, I will still argue when I should argue, and I will still get angry when I should get angry.

If you get anxious, you can't help but yell "You guy!"

For Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori is the most troublesome and difficult partner he has worked with since becoming a producer.

However, because we have made a private agreement to overcome difficulties together, even if we quarrel for a while because of the way the music is handled, we will not argue just to suppress each other like the first time we quarreled.

The quarrel continued, and no one forgot the agreement or the work. While they were quarreling, the progress was also slowly advancing a little. During the day, the quarrel in the recording studio was over. After that, Iwahashi Shinichi went to her house again and again to let this Tao Pu star stand up.

Make food for yourself.

During the day, I scolded "You guy!" in the recording studio, but at night I had to cook for "You guy!"

Shinichi Iwahashi felt proud for two seconds before he heard Akina Nakamori instructing him to do this and that. Although he was disliked for his poor cooking skills, his chores were quite easy.

As he directed him around in the kitchen, Akina Nakamori was snickering inwardly, feeling very proud of herself.

The two of you are busy tomorrow, so come over and have a meal together. Iwahashi Shinichi will go back later.

After eating the fragrant rice, I took the dishes away, and Shin Iwahashi took over the task of washing the dishes. If before, Akina Nakamori thought that he shouldn't let him do the work for her, now, let him wash all the dishes.

washed.

It seems that after that quarrel, the two people became more comfortable and closer.

"By the way, I brought something for you."

Iwahashi Shin wiped the clean dishes and asked Nakamori Akina to direct them to put them away. Then he remembered. He went to get the things he put in the entrance when he came in. When he came back, Nakamori Akina was waiting there to apply hand cream on him.

.

"Just washing the dishes." He declined politely.

"I've applied it too." Akina Nakamori pretended not to hear his tactful refusal and raised her hand to show him. She had no choice but to let this peach star apply it again and again.

After she was done, she turned her attention to the paper bag brought by Shinichi Iwahashi.

"what is that?"

As he asked, he stretched out his hand and opened it to see that they were all records.

"Yes." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "I would like you to have a general understanding of the style of this band. It may be helpful for future discussions."

Akina Nakamori said "Oh" and agreed, "I'll listen to it later."

"I'll listen to you too..." Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her holding the band's album in her hand and flipping through it.

"Mine?" Nakamori Akina turned to look at him.

Iwahashi Shin nodded, "I feel like I don't know enough about your music."

"Eh~" Akina Nakamori said in a long voice, "Producer-san, you don't know anything about it?" The words were sarcastic, but the expression on her face showed that she was teasing him.

Iwahashi Shinichi had nothing to do with her, "After all, I haven't bought your records yet." The ones he had on hand were all given to him by Akina Nakamori after the two got acquainted. As for the earlier time, he didn't know that Nakamori

Which one is Mingcai?

"Besides, I'm not your fan either." He said.

It’s okay not to say this. Akina Nakamori was a little speechless because of his excessive honesty. She glanced at him sideways and asked, "Then whose fan are you?"

After thinking for a while, I grabbed his arm and said, "Are you from the 'Son of the Son' faction?"

"Of course not." Iwahashi Shinichi also became speechless.

During the years when Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda were competing in the ring, fans were divided into two factions, and there were all kinds of quarrels and quarrels. In order to compete for superiority, they would do anything, and there were many big fights.

"Forget it~" Akina Nakamori let him go.

"I won't mention it in the past, but it won't work like this now. You have to listen to my music, you know?" She pretended.

This Taopusida is also good at climbing along the pole.

Iwahashi Shin noticed her little expression, stretched out his fingers, and pinched her nose gently.

The paper tiger grabbed his finger and wanted to say something. Seeing his expression as he thought of something, he said "Huh?" and squeezed the hand tighter.

In fact, it’s not that I haven’t bought one of her records.

Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly remembered that he had bought "Unbreakable" by Akina Nakamori.

"What?" she asked.

Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "Tomorrow, I'm going to buy all the records you've had since your debut and listen to them one by one." He said while looking at Akina Nakamori's amused expression.

I don’t understand what’s so funny about this…

"Since you are the producer," he said, trying to pull his finger back. Akina Nakamori refused and held his hand in her hand. Her movements and expression were like a child's, innocent and gentle.

"Listen carefully, Producer-san." Akina Nakamori said, her face turning red.

...(the dividing line of purity)

Of course you have to listen well.

Afterwards, Iwahashi Shinichi really collected all the records that Nakamori Akina had released since her debut. It was difficult to buy early records from her debut, so she asked the clerk to make two more trips.

Collecting all her records is like a fan who has just started chasing stars.

Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't like buying records. At first, he was stingy and had to rent and listen to them because of poverty. But now, he feels that buying records takes up space, so he almost always rents and listens to them. On the shelves in the apartment, there are records

, most of them are finished products sent to him after the singers' records he has produced are released.

Now, I have become a "fanatic fan" for Akina Nakamori, COS. Although, after seeing the various ways in which this Taopusta is getting along with him in private, it is impossible to really become a fan of hers.

In the early years, she released only vinyl and tapes. In recent years, she has started to use CDs in various formats.

When Iwahashi Shinichi got the record, she not only saw through the record sleeve how she grew from a chubby little girl to a Tao Pu star, but also saw the development and changes of the record industry from these various storage media.

He temporarily postponed the next recording meeting with Akina Nakamori to give both parties time to get to know each other. During this period, he first listened to her records one after another.

During this period, Jean went into the studio and made a trial sample according to his ideas. When he saw Akina Nakamori next time, he showed it to her so that she could have an idea.

In addition, Shinichi Iwahashi also had the idea of ​​making a version of "Kiss" in advance, and only waited for the version led by Akina Nakamori to be released before putting it on the market.

For this reason, we also need to discuss with the band members to create a band version that will be released later.

Throughout August, half of Iwahashi Shinichi's work focus was on this planned album. When he was busy, he spent his days running back and forth from this recording studio to that recording studio, from this company to that TV station.

of.

Occasionally while walking on the road, the heat from the asphalt road gets into my pants, and my back is heated by the sun... When I am surrounded by the summer heat, I truly realize that it is still summer.

However, once you enter the air-conditioned room, the seasons are blurred again.

During this period, the songs of the three girls, Fuyumi Sakamoto, Yoko Minamino, and Yui Asaka, were all completed. Fuyumi Sakamoto breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, even though she knew that the matter was not over yet, and she had to learn to dance before the song was released.

There are many challenges in the road of life.

She put aside her collaborations and went back to continue her Sanxiago enka performance.

It is truly "Three Going to the Countryside". The audience of enka is more middle-aged and elderly, so enka singers tour the country all year round.

As for Asaka Yui, after the cooperation ended, her agency actively expressed to Shinichi Iwahashi that she hoped to cooperate with him in the future to produce a rock-style single for Asaka Yui.

Iwahashi Shinichi was very busy and couldn't find time for a while. However, after consultation, he proposed that his songwriters should provide music for Asaka Yui——

Of course, when the music is sent to you, whether you keep it or return it depends on whether it suits you or not.

As for Minamino Yoko, she continued to go back to complete the work arranged by the office.

The issue of the contract was still hanging there. That day, Shinichi Iwahashi asked her about various details about Junichi Mizukura's investment in her name, and Yoko Minamino didn't know what he planned to do.

It was not that she had no expectations for him, thinking that Shinichi Iwahashi could really help her. However, on the other hand, she felt that even if he did nothing, she would not regret or be disappointed.

It's like he chose not to tell Shinichi Iwahashi even though he was being coerced because of this planned album.

This young idol is so naive.



The three girls were successfully completed. On the other hand, the progress of BOLAN and Fujiaiko also progressed smoothly after both parties entered their roles.

Then, there was the collaboration between TRUE and Yashiro Aki, and the song to be sung was decided during this period.

The final song was co-written by Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san.

To be precise, after Miwa-chan hummed a melody, Nakamura-san would compose and complete it on this basis. Then, Miwa-chan would fill in the lyrics.

This kind of creative process, when told to Yashiro Aki, made the other party feel incredible.

However, after successfully composing this collaborative song, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura-san both breathed a sigh of relief. Nakamura-chan succeeded in practicing and was able to complete Miwa-chan's improvised inspiration. Miwa-chan can also use it freely.

Write lyrics for Nakamura-san’s songs. In this way, the band’s path will be greatly broadened and it will have more possibilities.

For a band, what is most needed is mature and strong creative ability. Now, whether it is to hit the top or stay at the top for a long time, TRUE has stronger support.

The band is still on tour, so they have been putting off entering the recording studio. In a few days, they will go to Miwa-chan's hometown of Sapporo to accompany this little fox on his homecoming in glory.

Now, the stage and equipment have been shipped to Sapporo and are stored in the warehouse, waiting to be installed.

On the other hand, Yatsushiro Aki, after receiving the sent songs, first recorded a demo tape and sent it over. After all, it was recognized as a top-notch singing skill in the industry. Iwahashi Shinichi listened to it and admired it in his heart.

Yashiro Aki's current record company is Columbia Records, which has a large singing business. However, it was transferred here a few years ago. Before that, she first stayed at Tokuma Records for ten years, and then transferred to a company called Century Records.

A small record company.

The background of switching record companies was that Tokuma Records was the director in charge of Yashiro Aki's business. It was also her boyfriend at the time who left the company and established Century Records as a joint venture with others. Yashiro Aki also changed jobs.

However, Yashiro Aki's sales were not good after changing his record company, and the relationship with her boyfriend began to get discordant.

Afterwards, Yashiro Aki broke up with her boyfriend, and the new boyfriend she made was the son of Kazuo Daoka, the third generation of the Dero-gumi, with thick black legs.

With the help of her new boyfriend, Yashiro Aki got the help of the singing queen Misora ​​Hibari. Misora ​​Hibari was the adopted daughter of Kazuo Taoka. Under her recommendation, she transferred to Colombia. Her ex-boyfriend's Century Records also lost her because of this tree.

The biggest cash cow declared bankruptcy.

While changing her boyfriend and record company, Yashiro Aki also became independent from her original firm and established her own personal firm.

Needless to say, the establishment of a personal agency has a lot to do with the agreement between the Music Association to "not accept artists whose contracts are not terminated satisfactorily".

At the beginning of independence, Yashiro Aki was also isolated by the Music Association. However, because his backing was strong enough, he survived smoothly and is still thriving in the industry.

Looking at the independence path of the seniors in the industry, if you want to be independent from the original firm, you must either have a strong backer, or you must have considerable strength to withstand the encirclement network.

Or, you have to consider whether to stop singing.
