At the end of the year, Minamino Yoko, who had just changed to a new record company and office, also went to greet the relevant parties under the leadership of the new office manager and asked "please take care of me."
Changing the door and courtyard requires starting over in many places.
Discussion meetings had been held previously to formulate her work plan. At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi also had to take time to collect songs for her, select songs for her, and prepare her first single after changing jobs.
From the previous contract disputes to the termination and re-signing, Minamino Yoko has not released a work under her own name for a long time. Fortunately, she has maintained her exposure through the light of this project. However, sooner or later, the light will be used up.
You have to strike while the iron is hot.
The first thing is to determine the style route that Minamino Yoko will take next. After that, Meldac Records will use the music library according to the determined style and invite song writers with cooperative relationships. Iwahashi Shinichi also uses his own production
Select suitable songs from the company's music library, and then bring them to the seminar for discussion.
For the sake of the long term, when selecting songs, you must take into account subsequent development.
When you get a good song, you immediately arrange to release it without any hesitation. After the song becomes popular, you become a super one because you fail to prepare follow-up arrangements to absorb the popularity. This kind of thing happens all the time in the music industry.

For Kawai Nahoko, Shinichi Iwahashi called her office and conveyed his intention to invite her to sing. The reason for contacting her through the office was that they were not familiar with each other, and secondly, it was more formal.
The single that Kawai Nahoko and Saijo Hideki collaborated on has not yet been released. The sales of the previous singles are booming, which makes Kawai Nahoko, who is waiting in line to play, feel uncertain.
She and Xicheng Hideki are more outdated than the other. Wouldn't it be bad if their poor grades hold them back?
Kawai Nahoko was paying attention to the trend of the project. While she was surprised that she was lucky enough to participate in such a powerful project, she was also depressed by the pressure hanging above her head, fearing that it would be held back.
It was such a mixed blessing, and at a time when I was thinking wildly, I suddenly received another invitation from Shinichi Iwahashi.
When the office conveyed Shinichi Iwahashi's invitation to sing to her, Nahoko Kawai was surprised at first, and then, the joy of being appreciated, and the shame of not being worthy of the appreciation, all kinds of feelings came to her heart.
The manager of the office asked her, "Do you want to discuss it in detail with Iwahashi-san?"
Although Kawai Nahoko was ashamed of Iwahashi Shinichi's appreciation, she had no reason to say "no".
Shinichi Iwahashi is currently at his busiest time. Externally, he has various year-end summaries and social interactions, and internally he has to check on the production progress of his singers.
BOLAN's new single is about to be released. Although the production of the song was given to Sakuma Masahide, he still needs to take care of the operational details before the release. Kamaike Sachiko is scheduled to star in Fujifilm's new commercial, and ZARD's new single is also being prepared.
There are things to ask about Yoko Minamino, DREAMS COME TRUE's new songs to listen to, and this ongoing project, there are details that require his continued attention.
Now Iwahashi Shinichi is definitely one of the busiest producers in the industry. Being so busy, he did not have time to meet with Nahoko Kawai, so the two parties communicated on the phone.
"I want to ask Kawai-san to provide songs for Minamino Yoko."
Iwahashi Shinichi told Kawai Nahoko about his request. He was business-like and obviously treated Kawai Nahoko as a professional songwriter who was ready to collaborate.
This was the first time Nahoko Kawai received such treatment from a producer. She took out the notepad she brought with her to record lyrics and wrote down all the key points mentioned by Shinichi Iwahashi.
When it comes to songwriting, except for inspirational players like Miwa-chan who act irrationally, professional composers have their own rules to follow. Although Nahoko Kawai is an idol, she has seriously studied composition.
Having said that, after DREAMS COME TRUE became popular, some professional music critics criticized Miwa-chan's songs on the show, saying that she "wrote in a mess".
In the eyes of professionals, Miwa-chan is indeed quite ridiculous. Sometimes, Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura can't help complaining about what she sings, and they have a headache over how to arrange the music for her. But they can't stand her.
Hum a best-selling song...
Talent and inspiration are inexplicable things.
Minamino Yoko is twenty-two years old this year. She is one year older, so she is not suitable to continue to act like a little girl. However, as urban women in their twenties, as they grow older, their areas for development increase instead of decreasing.
Just package and use it well.
Kawai Nahoko is twenty-six years old and is preparing to turn one more year old. The flowers are blooming at the right time. To be honest, she has also had some experiences, and her creative inspiration is at the age of 20. Shinichi Iwahashi invited her, hoping that she could provide a song "In Men"
From a perspective, love songs about young women taking the initiative in love relationships."
In this era, instead of the ancient times where girls were more reserved and waited for boys to initiate invitations, the two of them were walking on the promenade, and the sea breeze blew the girl's hair...
It is an era when a girl takes the initiative. A girl can not only take the initiative to pursue someone, but also have multiple dates. She can boldly say "I like" to the person she likes, and she can also simply say "bye" when she is tired of it.
This is an unprecedented era where men and women attract and tease each other.
Just like Nahoko Kawai's famous song - Stop arguing.GIF.
There have already been songs in which girls feel complacent about teasing their suitors. Now, what Shinichi Iwahashi wants is a song that is a bit playful and teases the girls being pursued from a male perspective.
Of course, the men in the song are definitely not helpless wimps - the kind of men you can only find in ancient enka. Instead, they fit the background of today's era of teasing each other, accepting the teasing of girls with a bit of evil.
It might be quite interesting for a cute yet heroic female idol like Minamino Yoko to sing this kind of song.
After listening to the request, Kawai Nahoko couldn't help but smile when she remembered the song "Stop Quarrel" she had sung. Fortunately, she could not be discovered by Iwahashi Shinichi through the phone.
She straightened her expression and promised, "I will work hard, Iwahashi-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi was reasonable, "I believe Kawai-san. In short, please write it in your own way. As for the submission time, I hope to get the song sample before the end of November. Is that okay?"
In the last week of November, a single by Nahoko Kawai and Hideki Saijo was released.
Before Nahoko Kawai confirmed the schedule, she was the first to think of this matter. No way, this is what I have been thinking about these days.
She hesitated for a moment and did not answer the question, but mentioned, "At the end of this month, the single between me and Hideki-san will be released."
"Um……"
Shinichi Iwahashi on the other end of the phone flipped through the notepad in his hand, "Indeed." He paused and mentioned it, "Up to this point in the planning, the public's attention has almost been drawn to the song itself."
"Of course fame and popularity will increase sales. Of course, this kind of thing will happen because you don't like the people in the group and you choose not to buy it. But because the people in the group are not popular, it will cause the public to stop buying. This kind of thing is not
.”
Kawai Nahoko let out a soft "ah" when she was told what was on her mind.
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't even notice the subtle reaction. He said to himself, "This way, Kawai-san's music will have a chance to be shown to the public besides fans."
Of course her few ardent fans from the idol era who are only holding her back can continue to stop buying, but there are more people who trust the quality of this project. What Nahoko Kawai gets this time is also an opportunity for self-promotion and self-promotion.
"Thank you, Iwahashi-san." Nahoko Kawai suddenly said.
It's not that she couldn't figure this out. Although Iwahashi Shinichi's purpose in inviting her to participate in the project was not necessarily to give her such an opportunity, there was no doubt that this invitation was a great opportunity.
"I didn't do anything that needed to be thanked." Iwahashi Shinichi refused to thank him for his achievements.
Kawai Nahoko corrected, "No, you gave me a chance." She was quite stubborn.
"Because Kawai-san has shown corresponding talents." Iwahashi Shinichi also insisted on his own idea and did not intend to take this opportunity to accept this favor and become a good person.
After all, it was not because of favors that he wanted to invite Nahoko Kawai to participate in the project, nor was it because of favors that he invited Minamino Yoko to sing for her.
This serious attitude moved Kawai Nahoko.
Of course, no matter what Shinichi Iwahashi's attitude is or how Nahoko Kawai reacts, she has to come up with a song that can pass the test. Otherwise, whether she should send it back for revision or whether she should reject it, she still has to reject it.
Iwahashi Shinichi is willing to give opportunities to talented people, but he will not show mercy if he is not satisfied with the other person's talent.
…
At the end of the year, he was busy with work and socializing. By mid-November, Iwahashi Shinichi had plans almost every night. He entertained others in the name of the company, and others entertained him in various names.
Not only that, there are also various "fraternities" waving to him and welcoming him to join.
Sometimes, an unknown little artist suddenly gets involved with a big star or a big boss who is beyond his reach. This is not because of the wonderful fate, but because there are many parasitic so-called people in the industry who organize small artists to have friendships and companionship.
Social masters. Young artists with high rankings can secure a future for themselves. Those with low rankings can at least have enough money to avoid losing money.
A big tree attracts attention, and his fame has greatly increased this year. Iwahashi Shinichi has unknowingly become a sought-after golden bachelor in the industry.
Facing the sorority invitation that comes to my door...
He decisively chose to ignore it.
I'm so busy that I have endless drinks every night, so I don't have time to deal with young artists who are full of sex. And, in a sense, the goal is to get close to a young artist who is a golden bachelor, which is better than having a lot of professional ethics.
The escort girls are more flexible and more difficult to deal with.
Shinichi Iwahashi was too lazy to cause trouble to himself.
If you have that spare time, you might as well lurk in Taopu Star's girlfriend's room, tease her a little, and make her pounce on you in anger. You can also eat soft and fragrant rice.
Stingy and stingy, this persona cannot be broken.
Although she didn't even have time to tease her, Akina Nakamori finally picked out her favorite puppy. She only heard about it on the phone.
In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi returned to Tokyo from Yokohama. When he got home, he left a message on the phone and told her, "I will always wait for his call back."
Nakamori Akina didn't often say this kind of thing in the past, but recently, she said it more often.
The reporters following her were still circling behind her, and she could not run to find Shinichi Iwahashi as she pleased. This incident encouraged her unexplained willfulness.
Since she said this, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care that it was already past twelve o'clock and dialed back.
As soon as the call was connected, he heard Akina Nakamori say to him, "I brought the puppy home."
Iwahashi Shinichi heard her describe the boy as a two-month-old boy. During the description, compliments like "cute, cute" came out of her mouth one after another.
It seems that he likes it from the bottom of his heart.
"Shinichi, why don't you come and see it?" Akina Nakamori asked him, "It's so cute that I can't describe it in words." She was like a child who shows off the deliciousness of candy in front of her companions to tempt others.
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed, "I'll go after that." He still remembered what he said, "Bring dog snacks and toys."
Nakamori Akina snorted softly and asked nonchalantly, "When will it be later? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or next year?"
This look made Shinichi Iwahashi laugh.
When he smiled, Nakamori Akina's pretense also broke, "I'm not cooperating at all."
Just relying on imagination, I can imagine her pouting look.
"What is the puppy doing now?" he asked.
Akina Nakamori told him, "She is sleeping and seems to be a good baby." She emphasized, "It is really small and can be held up with one hand. It should be no problem even if you take it to work."
Speaking of "little one", I subconsciously lowered my voice, as if the louder voice would have blown the puppy away.
"Have you decided on a name for the puppy?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
Akina Nakamori said in a long voice, "Not yet~" She said, showing off her flaws, "However, I have thought of a few alternative names."
"Um?"
She paused, and Iwahashi Shinichi followed up with the question.
A low-pitched smirk came from the other end of the phone. Nakamori Akina was very proud, counting down her good ideas, "For example, Shinta, Shin-chan, etc..."
Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless, "Are you serious?"
"I lied to you." Akina Nakamori smiled.
In a sense, these two people both like to tease each other. However, the methods of teasing are different. But they all have miraculous effects on each other.
Maybe it's a reflection that they understand each other well enough.
"I haven't thought about it yet." She told Iwahashi Shinichi, "So, I wanted to ask you if you have any ideas."
Shinichi Iwahashi teased her casually, "It's better to call her 'Morina'."
"I told you it's a boy..." Akina Nakamori said disgustedly: "Besides, why are you so stingy?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and accepted her disdain and said to her, "Just give it a name you like."
