If it is still held in February, then you need to apply with the management of Wangan Plaza now.
Of course, it was two years ago since the last time it was held. It is not an annual event, so there is no need to stick to the month of February. As far as this music festival is concerned, if it is held again, it should be treated as a string of beads.
, to proceed with one of the pillars.
It cannot be an independent link, but must be interlocked with other arrangements. Therefore, the so-called decision time is actually the decision opportunity.
"Looking at the performance of the charts, the band's performance is getting better and better, and female-centered bands are also quite strong now. The single chart relay of DREAMSCOMETRUE and PRINCESSPRINCESS is exactly what happened this year."
Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Mayumi elaborated, "In addition to these two companies, Terada Keiko-san, who proposed the title 'NAON no YAON', her SHOW-YA is also very popular this year, and NOKKO-san's REBECCA, now
It is still very popular...and Mari-san Hamada also has a place in the rankings."
"Including our ZARD, they should not be underestimated. This is a girl band or female rock band with very outstanding commercial performance." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "In addition, there are also bands that are on the rise and are in the underground music circle.
Popular bands…”
The important role played by girl bands with excellent commercial performance is to let more record companies and more girls see the possibility of singing rock and forming a band, motivating them to join in.
In a field, the more people come in, the more opportunities there are to flourish.
"There are even female idols who have transformed into rock music."
Today is different from the past. Compared with the first time when I held a music festival, I had nowhere to start. Now, although Iwahashi Shinichi can talk a lot, "Of course, among female idols, there are some who are not strong enough and just follow the popularity and transform, but
There are also some who are truly outstanding.”
"But no matter what, as long as you change your gender, you may become the target of our invitation."
Iwahashi Shin took stock of what came to mind and joked, "How about it? Compared with the first music festival that started from scratch, the current situation - not to say fifty times, at least thirty times better, right?"
"
This is just Japan. If we look overseas, we still don’t know what kind of people we can invite.
"Thirty times is always possible." Watanabe Mayumi smiled.
However, instead of eating his ecstasy soup, I changed the topic and asked him about his more detailed plans and plans. When they talked about the music festival, the two partners working side by side really felt a little bit like the boss and the little manager in the past.
.
"Although I know that bands with female protagonists are now popular, but if you don't take stock like this, you won't realize that they already have such a scale, right?"
Iwahashi Shinichi said of his plans, "To push the current girl rock craze to the phenomenon level, we need something iconic."
"Hold another music festival on a larger scale?" Watanabe Manyumi added.
"That's what happened." Shin Iwahashi nodded, "So, you might as well consider it again, Wanyumi-san." He said with a smile, "This time, we may not just be losing money and making a profit."
"Um?"
"Maybe it will be fame and fortune."
Watanabe Manyumi looked at his confident expression and thought he was a bit juvenile and funny - of course, this funnyness did not come from thinking that he was unrealistic.
On the contrary, it was because I knew he had a plan in mind, so I smiled at the boyishness that only showed up when he was confident.
"Then, please first..." she said.
Iwahashi Shinichi took over the words with a smile, "Prepare a plan, right?"
Watanabe Manyumi did not laugh, but said to him seriously, "Then I'll leave it to you, Iwahashi-san." She deliberately called him "Iwahashi-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi also put away his smile and said, "Yes, BOSS." He also deliberately called "BOSS".
This time, she was able to smile again.
In fact, the funny thing was not "BOSS", but Shinichi Iwahashi who called her "BOSS" seriously. Watanabe Manyumi lowered her head and went to get the tea cup.
While chatting, the tea became cold. She took her hand back and prepared to go back.
"correct."
Iwahashi Shinichi spoke again, "If there is another music festival, Wan Yumi-san, can you ask Misa-san to ask Watanabe Productions to join in as well?"
When the first music festival was held, the core was Watanabe Productions. If it were to be held again this time, GENZO would naturally take the lead. However, Shinichi Iwahashi hoped that Watanabe Mayumi would discuss the matter of holding another music festival with Misa Watanabe.
Supported by Watanabe Productions.
"We'll wait until you make the plan first."
Watanabe Manyumi neither answered "yes" nor said "no".
"good."
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.
Hold another music festival. In Iwahashi Shinichi's plan, this planned music festival is the jewel he has prepared for the current rock craze - the crown.
In addition to the girl rock music that got him started, Shinichi Iwahashi is even considering gender-neutral music festivals.
Not only is it a girl rock, but she is also the person who is at the forefront of the rock craze.
…
As September entered, an underground single called "I'm Standing Right Here" was put on the shelves in twenty-nine record stores in Tokyo. It couldn't be compared with mainstream singles released and widely distributed, but as an underground single,
It’s already a large-scale distribution.
Ninety-nine percent of underground musicians produce a thousand records and store them in a record store for sale.
Shinichi Iwahashi took a gamble and ordered 150,000 copies from a printing plate factory. Although the orders from 29 record stores combined, only 12,000 copies were ordered, and the rest were piled in warehouses.
If you can't sell the 12,000 copies you ordered, the record store will have to return them.
If the single cannot be sold, the plastic waste will have to be sent to the sea for reclamation——
Just kidding, not even reclamation.
Placing an order for 150,000 copies for an underground single will be opposed wherever it is placed. Even Watanabe Manyumi, who has always been on his side, is unconvinced. So Iwahashi Shinichi took a different approach.
, released this single in the name of the production company, and let the order for the 150,000 singles go from his production company.
Only a small amount of shares in the production company were given to Miwa-chan and Brother Nakamura. Neither of them participated in the management. Absolute control was in the hands of Shinichi Iwahashi. There was no need to even discuss it, as long as he contacted the printing house.
Of course, doing this is no different from paying for it with his own money.
Fortunately, the cost of underground singles is low. This time, Iwahashi Shinichi decided not to print in formats other than CD. In addition to ensuring the recording quality, other costs were kept to a minimum. Even so, it is still a considerable amount of money.
.
Thanks to the success of the singers who had produced it, DREAMSCOMETRUE was well-sold enough, and the royalties paid to him through the production company were enough to allow Shinichi Iwahashi to do this occasionally.
Because he took over everything, the original disc copyright of this underground single belonged to his production company. The distribution copyright still belonged to the record company. It was all in pieces and quite scattered.
Of course, copyright is only valuable if it sells well, otherwise even pressing it on the bottom of the box will take up space.
However, insisting on releasing singles through the production company and ordering 150,000 copies at once, Iwahashi Shinichi is not crazy. Although, if you want to talk about gambling, it is not a gamble.
However, something with no end in sight is gambling in itself, but it is just a big gamble or a small gamble.
Releasing these 150,000 singles through the production company is, on the one hand, preparing for the super hot band, and on the other hand, it is also creating opportunities for the production company - how to make it more valuable.
The more valuable the production company is, the harder Shinichi Iwahashi's back will be.
Before the underground single was released, publicity for the band was quietly carried out in the underground music circle. Since they are now an underground band, in order not to offend people, they cannot use the indiscriminate bombardment method of mainstream singers when promoting.
.
At this time, thanks to Mineshima's vast network of contacts, Shinichi Iwahashi himself has a good reputation in the underground music circle. In addition, this matter is special and involves "creative freedom", so the usual differences between mainstream and underground have to be temporarily put aside.
.
It is better to unite when we have a common enemy than a common friend.
Moisturizing things quietly, unknowingly, the story of THEBLUEHEARTS spread more and more widely in the underground music circle.
The guys from THEBLUEHEARTS started performing at LIVEHOUSE after the contract was terminated. After the underground singles were printed, they were sold after the performances.
However, the sales aspect of the performance is still a small matter, and Iwahashi Shinichi's focus is still on the record store.
These twenty-nine record stores are all closely related to the underground music circle and mainly sell niche records and underground records.
On this side, the members of THEBLUEHEARTS are performing hard, and the people from the record company are secretly working hard to promote and stir up public emotions. On the other side, the first report of "MUSICA" is also freshly released and published in the magazine.
When Shinichi Iwahashi discussed with Komoto, he repeatedly emphasized that the focus should be on "creative freedom." Not only Komoto knew this, but the editor of "MUSICA" would not be confused.
In music magazines, what is the most inciting to readers’ emotions? The magazine editor knows best.
People who deliberately buy music magazines must first of all be music lovers. Considering the audience of "MUSICA", these people are also fans of singers and bands. For things like creative freedom, compared to idol fans,
More sensitive.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, the first step in choosing "MUSICA" to publish reports is a round of screening.
And this song "I'm Standing Here", as the band's response, was also featured in the magazine. Similarly, once the magazine was published, it became a big advertisement.
After the magazine was released, the incident about the band really caused an uproar among music fans.
Afterwards, just see how powerful this advertisement can be, how much topic it can generate, and how many singles it can absorb.
…
On one side are THEBLUEHEARTS who are walking on a tightrope, their future is like gambling, and on the other side is a broad road, just waiting for DREAMSCOMETRUE to set the gems in the crown.
The Tokyo performance is right at home, so there is no need to arrive in advance, which makes it much easier for Shinichi Iwahashi. There is no need to rush the schedule, and even the rehearsal process is much freer. There is no card for the day before the official performance.
Two or three days before the official opening of the performance, the rehearsal had already begun. Iwahashi Shinichi took the time to go over and participate. The affectionate driver was waiting nearby. After the rehearsal, he was sent to the next place of work.
Arrive at the rehearsal, go to the dressing room, change out of your suit, and wear a loose T-shirt.
The T-shirt was the peripheral product of this concert. It was the most ordinary white T-shirt with only the tour's LOGO printed on the front. Its value immediately doubled - just like that, it was still being snapped up like crazy.
During the tour, the on-site staff all wore the peripheral T-shirts as uniform work clothes.
It's September, and it looks a bit like autumn. Although it's still hot during the day, the oppressive feeling brought by the summer sky is gone.
Wangan Plaza is close to the seaside, and the sea breeze is cool, which is much more comfortable than in the city. After the expansion of Wangan Plaza, standing on the stage and looking around, everything is in sight, and it is even more refreshing.
"A lot has changed, here at Wangan Plaza."
Miwa-chan ran to Iwahashi Shinichi and told him.
"Because it was re-expanded." Shinichi Iwahashi answered seriously.
Miwa-chan made a sound, "I know this without you having to tell me. I'm talking about the feeling of standing here again."
"It's the feeling!"
She emphasized again.
"Okay." Shinichi Iwahashi listened, "So, what changes do you feel?"
Miwa-chan thought for a while, "This square suddenly became more open and bigger than before. Standing here, I thought that 40,000 people were about to come for us..."
"Come for us?" Iwahashi Shinichi waited for the next step.
Miwa-chan answered seriously, "So, standing here, I suddenly felt that it would be impossible to have any new wishes." It seems that the starting point of DREAMSCOMETRUE's dream is here, and the end is also here.
"Yeah?"
Iwahashi Shinichi was about to say something, but she interrupted him, "...and there's more!"
"..." Okay, you say.
Miwa-chan approached him with a smile, "But, thinking that even such a wish can come true, I have three times more motivation to make wishes and dreams than before."
"Three times?" Shinichi Iwahashi looked frightened by her ambition.
With three times more motivation, do you want NASA to send the band’s songs into outer space?
Miwa-chan laughed hard and patted his shoulder, "Don't be scared so easily, we are DREAMSCOMETRUE——"
Judging from her heartless look, it seemed that the band's songs could really be sent to outer space. The person who made her "dream come true" was none other than Yoshida Miwa herself, who kept having strange dreams.
She went crazy, ran away from Shinichi Iwahashi, and went to fight with the backup dancers. This look did not look like she was here for rehearsal, but like an elementary school student going on an outing.
At the last concert in Sapporo, Iwahashi Shinichi was absent from the rehearsal. This time, he showed up at the rehearsal, and Miwa-chan was very happy.
Wangan Plaza is the starting point of this outdoor tour, and now that she is back here, she can't help but be happy. What's more, Shinichi Iwahashi is also participating. In this way, the dream tour will come true, and the three of them will be together from beginning to end.
.
Although, she didn't know in her heart that she was pulling Iwahashi Shinichi towards her from the other side.
but……
Miwa-chan ran around for a while, then returned to Iwahashi Shinichi, held his hand, "Let's go!"
There were cameras to film the second half of the rehearsal. The giraffe man did not show his face, so Shinichi Iwahashi went backstage and put on his headgear.
Then, under the filming of the camera, the remaining steps were carried out.
