The continuous release plan of singles has come to an end, the planned album has officially started to be promoted and sold, and then there is the special program that has been negotiated with the "THEBESTTEN" program team.
The statistical rules of the record sales list are based on the statistics of the year ending in mid-to-late November of each year. After the end of the year, the data collected every other week is regarded as the beginning of the new year.
In addition, due to technical constraints, year-end holidays, and newspaper and media arrangements for programs during the New Year... and other reasons, the album chart will be suspended at the end of December and will resume work at the beginning of the new year.
.
The reason why the special program of "THEBESTTEN" can be discussed is because the sales chart was suspended after the release of the closing single "Kiss", and it was time for the program team to produce the year-end special program as usual.
In other words, after the release of this planned album, the data for about two weeks will not be released together until the next year when the list starts counting again. During this period, only the record company relied on its contacts with the record sellers.
Make assumptions about sales.
In a sense, it has a bit of the tension and excitement of gambling.
If the sales momentum is good, in the new year, the list will definitely become the center of discussion. On the other hand, even if this step is miscalculated and the album sales are not satisfactory, because the previous singles have already been successful, it will not be too embarrassing.
However, the reason why Shinichi Iwahashi planned to do this was not because he was taking a gamble. It was because he was somewhat confident and very optimistic about the album's sales momentum, so he wanted to take advantage of the special features of the year-end chart statistics to further advance his plan.
Push one step.
Ordinary people don’t pay attention to whether an issue of the list lasts for five days or 12 days. When the press release is released, they will only see the big-character poster of sales in the news. Then, they decide whether to follow the trend. Therefore, this issue at the end of the year is special.
The list can also be used once.
…
"THEBESTTEN" has a variety of special programs, such as inviting stars who debuted in the same year to a big party, or inviting the top ten singers on this year's annual list to sing, replaying the famous scenes of the singers in the regular performances that year, and also inviting the selected singers to sing.
Singers invited to support themselves...and so on.
However, this is the first time that a special program has been prepared for singers who participated in the same planned album.
After discussing and preparing a special program, "THEBESTTEN" needs to create a script, design the stage for the performance, and then communicate with the agencies of the singers who participated in the plan one by one. It was proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi, the chief producer.
The singers involved in the plan and the agency behind it also fully cooperated to free up their schedule for the day.
Shinichi Iwahashi, a giraffe man, also has to accompany his DREAM colored T-shirt and E to participate in the show.
During the production of the script, the director of "THEBESTTEN" also contacted Shinichi Iwahashi and wanted him, as the chief producer, to appear in the show. However, he declined because he was the man in black behind the scenes.
"Really? That's such a pity..." The director was extremely regretful.
If this producer, who attracted countless attention during the project promotion period, could appear on the stage, it would definitely be a topic. But Iwahashi Shinichi refused, so he had no choice but to give up.
This is the benefit of Men in Black. Agreeing to be on TV is to give the TV station face. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be on TV.
As for Shinichi Iwahashi, the man in black behind the scenes who didn't want to appear on TV yet, he refused to participate in the show, so he put on a hood and went to the crime scene as if nothing had happened.
Before the live broadcast started, the backstage staff were busy. Except for the people who participated in the project, who had collaborated with the co-singer, none of the other members of the group had met. At this moment, even though they were working on the same album
singer, but the background is clearly differentiated.
Either each waits in their own lounge, or the singers who usually have friendships go to say hello to each other.
DREAM had almost no contact with the singers who participated in the project, but a few young people from Bo LAN had to come over to say hello to them. Bo LAN had previously been an accompanist for DREAM's circus tour, and he was a real eight-year-old.
The descendants who have been promoted.
Since I have been in the accompaniment team, I also know the identity of the giraffe man very well.
For this reason, these young men who were signed by Iwahashi Shinichi tensed up their strings when they came to say hello, trying not to associate the giraffe man with Iwahashi-san.
Who would have thought that Iwahashi-san has such a lovely other side...
Iwahashi Shinichi simply ignored them and left Miwa-chan and Nakamura-chan in charge of entertaining them.
The collaborative single between Bo Lan and Fuji Ayako gave this project a good start. Similarly, these two unknown newcomers who just debuted also received unprecedented attention through this project.
Ayako Fuji gained a stage image that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and as the band's songs were loved by the audience, their creative ability sowed seeds in the hearts of the audience.
Participating in this project is part of the sales plan prepared for Bo LAN. After this step is successful, the next step is to strike while the iron is hot.
Previously, the plan to release a series of singles was in progress. For two or three months in a row, the singles chart was dominated by the "Iwabashi group". Whether it was to avoid being in the spotlight or not to distract from the plan, it could not be arranged.
Bo LAN releases new single.
Now, the release of the last "Kiss" has ended. At the same time, the sales list has stopped counting.
Shinichi Iwahashi not only chose this time to release his planned album, but also arranged for the release of Wave LAN's new single. Of course, it was not released on the same day as the planned album, but four days later.
In this way, even if you choose to release a single during this period, in the end it will be fully sold, and the actual sales time will be the same as if you choose to release it during normal times.
Therefore, choosing this time to release Bo LAN's single is definitely not to sell it for a few more days to make the numbers look better.
Bo LAN has gained a lot of popularity through this planned album. Now it is time to strike while the iron is hot and quickly convert this popularity into popular sales. After the end of the year, and by the beginning of next year, no one knows what changes will happen.
Not only that, what Bo LAN needs next is a blockbuster to quickly consolidate the attention this project has brought to them. In this way, their new single will only be considered qualified if it reaches the top of the charts when it debuts.
Therefore, on the one hand, it is to promote the planned album with great fanfare, and on the other hand, it will also use the same huge momentum to promote Bo LAN's new single.
Not only that, promoting the planned album, in a sense, is also promoting Wave LAN.
Blatantly tying Wave LAN to the promotion of the planned album would cause public outrage, and Iwahashi Shinichi would certainly not do it. Therefore, the band's single release time was deliberately chosen four days after the planned album was released.
However, there is no need for him to tie it up himself. The popularity of the project, Bolan's participation in the project, and the close release date will naturally put the public's attention on the band.
From this point of view, the band's single was released four days later than the planned album, which just allowed time for the heat to ferment. Naturally, it took over the light that had been shed from the planned album.
Of course, other singers, the agencies behind them, and the record companies are also free to schedule the release of the singer's new work during this period.
The popularity of the project is gained by stringing the whole string of beads together, and each group of participants can take advantage of this popularity. Shinichi Iwahashi was able to arrange for Bo LAN to release a new single during the stuck time, and Toshiba E fans also arranged for GINALLOVE to be on the O-Day
The song "Kiss" is included in the new album.
...each has its own method.
Cooperation is cooperation. Once cooperation is over, we are competitors again. As long as we can achieve results, we can do anything.
Because the band enjoys the top publicity resources, several young people in Bo LAN feel the pressure. Especially the lead singer Moritomo Arashi, a shy, confident and low-self-esteem young man, for him, as long as he cannot give satisfaction
I became restless in front of Shinichi Iwahashi's answer sheet.
The person who made him restless was now sitting in front of him wearing a giraffe hood. Such a situation made Moritomo Arashi tense up in his heart.
Finally, after greetings and finding a suitable opportunity, several young people stood up and left.
"Today, Mr. K and N are the most laid-back." As soon as the young men from Bolan left, Miwa-chan started a conversation and was eager to talk to him about it.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't want to accept the move, "It's okay."
Miwa-chan said, "What a leisurely tone."
Just hold on to "leisurely".
But Shinichi Iwahashi ignored her, and after a while, Miwa-chan was grabbing his arm instead of "leisurely". The little fox sat next to him, counting out the year-end plans with him.
After talking about the work plan, he also said that after performing the Red and White Song Concert, he would go to Australia for a New Year trip with his friends. As he spoke, the fox's tail showed up again, "There are also gifts you have to prepare this year..."
"I'm ready for you and Zhengren-san." She said proudly.
Although looking at Nakamura-san’s wry smile, I don’t expect much from Miwa-chan’s gift.
Miwa-chan herself was flattered and repeated seriously, "I have prepared a great gift."
The words in her mouth reminded Shinichi Iwahashi of ugly ornaments, useless gadgets... and other weird things.
"Yes, I understand." He nodded, "I will prepare a gift in return."
Anyway, the tradition of giving each other gifts has been going on for several years. Even if Miwa-chan doesn't mention it, Iwahashi Shinichi will definitely prepare it. Not only that, but as always, I don't really expect any "awesome" New Year's gifts from her.
When senior Aki Yashiro, who was in the same group as them, came back, the topic was dropped.
…
"Hello Kawai-san!"
When preparing for the rehearsal, Akina Nakamori met Nahoko Kawai backstage. When she saw Nahoko Kawai, she looked cheerful and greeted her with a smile.
Kawai Nahoko, who debuted two years ago as Nakamori Akina, is not only her senior, but also two years older than her. In the early years, Kawai Nahoko had not yet transformed into a singer-songwriter, but Nakamori Akina became popular soon after her debut. Both of them appeared on various idol singing programs together.
We met on the stage and we are relatively familiar with each other.
Nahoko Kawai has no sharp edges, has a good personality, is kind to others, has a broad mind, and is a bit old-school. Among the idols who debuted at the same time, even if they are in competition with her, they can't fault her.
However, such gentleness may be a demerit for a career as an artist.
However, Akina Nakamori, a junior who is two years younger, likes Nahoko Kawai who is like a gentle and tolerant big sister.
To be honest, this Taopusida can be quite coquettish sometimes.
"Mingcai-chan, long time no see."
When Nahoko Kawai smiled, her eyes looked round and round, like a cute cartoon character.
Akina Nakamori herself would feel it was impolite to associate such an association with a senior she has always liked. But Nahoko Kawai's whole person has a reassuring temperament.
Probably because of this, it reminds me of the world of fairy tales.
If you think about it carefully, the two of them have not seen each other for a year and a half. They are colleagues who get along well at work. They will go to have a meal together after work, or play together when they meet in the same club.
But privately, each has his own friendship circle. Although he is not exclusive, he does not have the strong desire to invite the other person into his own small circle.
However, although the friendship is weak, when we meet occasionally, we feel kind to each other in our hearts.
"Unexpectedly, I participated in the same project." Nahoko Kawai smiled.
Akina Nakamori praised her, "I have listened to the single by Kawai-san and Hideki-san. It is a very tasteful song."
"Really?" Nahoko Kawai's eyes lit up after being praised.
Like a student whose name was called, Nakamori Akina answered seriously, "I have listened to every single planned. Kawai-san's songs and Hideki-san's performance in the songs are both great."
"Although it's very rude for juniors to say things like 'senpai's performance is great' in front of seniors." Akina Nakamori complained about herself like a comedian.
Nahoko Kawai showed a funny expression of being sarcastic, "What are you talking about?"
The two people smiled at each other and walked together for a while.
“Actually, it’s also thanks to producer Iwahashi.”
Kawai Nahoko said, "Suddenly, I received an invitation from him. I wrote the music when I was completely unsure, and then I was invited to participate in the project."
"Iwahashi-san is also responsible for the arrangement of the music and so on." She is quite modest. Especially Akina Nakamori also participated in the planning, which made Kawai Nahoko not want to take credit.
However, when Kawai Nahoko mentioned Iwahashi Shinichi, Nakamori Akina just listened and couldn't take the words. Rather than saying that they had nothing to say, it was better to say that they didn't know what to say or what to say.
I can't ever talk about the time I yelled at him angrily in the recording studio, "You guy!"
It's the same collaboration, but the style of painting is completely different with different objects. I don't know what the scene is like in the recording studio when Shinichi Iwahashi collaborates with others...
She couldn't be the only one who had such a big quarrel with him, right?
Kawai Nahoko whispered softly, not caring that Nakamori Akina just echoed her words. After a while, she walked to the studio at her destination. Nakamori Akina met Saijo Hideki and went to say hello to this senior.
The rehearsal here has been confirmed, and over there, DREAM T-E and Yashiro Aki are also preparing to go out. On the same road, the two groups of people met each other, and then went their separate ways.
Then, we waited for the evening live show to start.
