Watanabe Manyumi's calmness poured some cold water on Iwahashi Shinichi. The smile on his face faded and he said, "Thank you, Misa-san."
Misa Watanabe stated that she would not stand idly by, and the significance of this attitude outweighed the help she could provide to Shinichi Iwahashi's whims.
Being able to say this means that Watanabe Production made the choice and at the same time recognized Iwahashi Shinichi. With this sentence, when Miki Yoshida gives birth in November, Iwahashi Shinichi's gift must be
get ready.
In addition, Misa Watanabe was able to express her position like this because Watanabe Manyumi told her mother about the matter and brought back the words "I will not stand idly by." The one who will not stand idly by is not Watanabe Productions, but Watanabe Manyumi
.
As soon as Iwahashi Shin's words came to his lips, he let go and said, "Thank you too."
Watanabe Wan Yumi knew what he was thanking, but her tone was normal, "I am doing it for myself... I should say that you chose Watanabe Productions first."... This was also said to Watanabe Misa.
She seemed to be stating some kind of fact.
Iwahashi Shinichi heard this and replied, "It should be said that Watanabe Production also chose me."
Both people were talking about "Watanabe Productions".
This time, Watanabe Mayumi smiled. She lowered her eyelids, looked at her fingers, and then raised her head, "Watanabe Productions did not make a wrong choice."
"Even an idea with such an unknown future?"
Watanabe Wan Yumi nodded slightly, her smile deepened, "Even so."
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "I will try my best to live up to Misao-san's kindness."
Watanabe Manyumi accepted his assurance. Since it was a mutual choice, then, she and Iwahashi Shinichi would stand on the same side, believing that when two people work together, they can light up something that has been extinguished.
"correct."
Watanabe Manyumi was thinking about one thing and asked, "How is the progress of your cooperation with Akina-san?" She asked and couldn't help but laugh, "You do what you say."
When I attended a reception for Kenyin a few years ago, Iwahashi Shinichi told Mr. Nozaki that he wanted to collaborate with Akina Nakamori again. When he said this, Watanabe Manyumi was also present.
As the year has passed, the invitation has been sent and cooperation has become a reality.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew what she meant by "doing what she said", so he didn't say much and answered her, "I've scheduled my first audition in the recording studio on the 17th. As for the official release time, it won't be until September."
Months later.”
"So long?" Watanabe Manyumi was a little surprised.
Iwahashi Shinichi explained, "Considering the overall style of the album, it is not suitable for release in the summer. Besides, I was very busy in the first half of the year, so the production cycle has to be slightly longer."
After all, Shinichi Iwahashi's focus is on the record company.
Summer is already humid and hot, so it is more suitable to release refreshing songs. During this period, even if the album is finished, it will be held back for the time being, waiting for the right time.
However, before the album is released, Akina Nakamori may release a single that will not be included in the album. This is not the responsibility of Shinichi Iwahashi.
Speaking of which, this Taopusida has adopted the artist style of not including singles in albums a few years ago. This is completely different from idols who rely on the sales of singles to drive album sales.
.
This is also different from DREAM, which has to include every single and B-side song in the album. The reason why the band does this is because Miwa-chan believes that every song they produce
They are all excellent songs. Even if they are B-side songs, they are definitely not junk songs used to make up the numbers. It would be a waste if they are not included in the album.
Of course, I can do this, and I have the confidence to do so. On the one hand, the band's songs are indeed of high quality, and the B-side songs included in the single are not included to fill the number, but are carefully selected and included.
On the other hand, it’s because the band always selects songs for the album first, and then decides what singles to release after selecting the album songs. This ensures that even if B-side songs are included, the quality of the album will not be lowered and the overall album will not be damaged.
style.
Watanabe Manyumi nodded slightly, as if a layman accepted the insider's explanation. However, her eyes fell on Iwahashi Shinichi's face, thoughtfully.
After a pause, he suddenly said, "What if..."
She hesitated to speak, and Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her, "What?"
No matter what he heard from Watanabe Manyumi, he would not be surprised. Iwahashi Shinichi was calm, and Watanabe Manyumi also relaxed, "Whenever you encounter difficulties, I will stand by your side."
Iwahashi Shinichi reacted, smiled and said, "That's incredible." He considered it for a moment, then slowly said, "I have something similar to say."
"If you get into any trouble, I will definitely choose your side."
This time, both people said "I" and "you".
Watanabe Manyumi accepted this promise. She smiled and said, "If you choose Watanabe Productions, I will choose you."
Iwahashi Shinichi was stabbed by her, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He nodded, "That's right."
The two of them did not delve deeper into the topic.
…
In early April this year, the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan" was released.
In March, the single was put into print and related promotion arrangements were in place. "Chibi Maruko-chan" was originally adapted from a popular manga, and after being animated, there was no acclimatization.
Not only did it not happen, but after it was launched, the attention continued to rise, and it gained widespread support among all age groups. After three months of broadcasting, the highest ratings exceeded 25, which was only higher than the ratings of prime-time TV programs.
Do not lose.
With the release of such a popular cartoon, Fuji TV is naturally happy.
As for the song "Let's Dance" that accompanies this cartoon suitable for all ages, it is light, joyful and catchy. Even if it is just a song, it is a rare masterpiece. Not to mention, it was selected.
It became the theme song of a highly rated animation.
While the animation has received widespread support, the theme song has also attracted much attention.
The animation is a hit. Although it is a single of the theme song of the cartoon, and the singing group is also a temporary and unknown group, the number of orders from record sellers is quite considerable.
At least, as an animation theme song, it is a rare large-scale order in recent years. The total orders exceed 100,000 copies.
However, although it is the theme song of the six o'clock animation, this song is definitely not an ordinary animation special and a children's song with a limited audience. On the contrary, this song is not difficult, catchy, and has a sense of atmosphere. It is quite
Suitable to be sung at parties.
Regarding this, we had already reached a consensus when we decided on this song as the theme song.
The title of the song "Let's Dance Together" was filled in by the manga author Sakurako. Since such a name was chosen, it was natural to stick to the theme. During the part where the theme song was played, the characters led by the protagonist Sakurako danced
Pictures of self-created dances from unknown schools.
The original painting of this part is Sakurako, but it is not just a random drawing. We also solicited opinions from various parties in order to create a dance that is easy to imitate and can make people in front of the TV dance along.
After the animation aired and became a hit, the song and this dance must have become familiar to everyone.
When forming B.B.QUEENS, Nagato Daiyuki used the composition of the Dolls Festival dolls and arranged the king and queen as the lead vocals, the three female officials as the backing vocals, and the five accompanists as the accompanists. Such a large group of people stood on the stage and filled the stage with a bustling atmosphere.
But there are also advantages to having more people. It just so happens that we can simplify and adapt the dance on the basis of that dance, and choreograph a dance that is simple and easy to learn. And the three female backing vocalists who are responsible for the accompaniment are obliged to add one more
Dancing tasks.
The three female backing vocalists are all models from the Star Agency, and are life-long members of the Nagato Daiyuki Appearance Association. They are all beauties. The three beautiful girls dance, which is pleasing to the eye.
In terms of the number of people, it is a tribute to Mimi C and Lu B who helped Shinichi Iwahashi in the beginning.
However, after Mimi C Lu B debuted on her own, she expanded her team again and again, from eight people at the beginning, to twelve people later, and then expanded again this year, with the number approaching twenty people... Can't compare to Bi
but.
A highly topical cartoon first ensures the popularity of the song. Simple dances are arranged to interact with the audience and increase public participation.
The original disc rights of this song "Let's Dance" were given to Fuji TV. With the interest relationship, Fuji TV is also fully expecting that this single will sell well. In conjunction with the release date of the single, preparations will be made
Publicity matters.
The distribution rights of the single belong to GENZO, and related promotions are also planned with GENZO as the leader. Iwahashi Shinichi’s idea is that since Fuji TV holds the original rights, we can still discuss with them that after the single is released, we can discuss it with other Fuji TV companies.
Link up the program.
Anyway, the ratings and topicality of "Chibi Maruko-chan" are there. As a popular anime, it is normal for it to be used as a joke in other programs once or twice.
When the time comes, it will be very simple to arrange a session where you imitate the dance while "cracking, crackling, crackling~".
You can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree.
With so many advantages, Iwahashi Shinichi was full of confidence in this single. He received an order for 100,000 copies, but the printing plate factory started up and pressed 400,000 copies in one go and put them in the warehouse for later use.
For such a big undertaking, on the one hand, the more suitable something is for people of all ages, the greater its potential.
On the other hand, it is also confidence in the quality of the song itself. The composer named Tetsuro Oda of BEING is definitely a genius in composing.
With such a composer in charge, Iwahashi Shinichi really will not underestimate BEING's own strength.
Now, with the support of BURNING, this company is even more promising.
…
The single was about to be released, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Daiyuki Nagato sat in the same conference room for the first time in a long time for the song "Let's Dance Together".
When they competed for the right to produce the theme song, the two sides were at least a little unhappy. However, GENZO took the lead in reaching a cooperation with Star Office and intercepted Nagato Daiko. After this incident, the relationship between the two parties became subtle.
It is impossible to be friendly. However, since we are both in the industry and are now collaborating on the same single, there must be some plastic friendship on the stage.
It is precisely because both parties are well aware of this matter that there will be no further cooperation at least in the short term. When we meet again this time, both Shinichi Iwahashi and Daiyuki Nagato are polite and cordial.
.
Just looking at the harmonious appearance of the two people, it seems that the cooperation this time is so pleasant that the next cooperation will be put on the agenda.
However, Nagato Daiyuki had a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, Iwahashi-kun."
Iwahashi Shinichi knew exactly what this incoherent congratulation was about, but he changed the topic with a smile and did not answer the sentence, "Nagato-san's production talent, and your company Oda-san's
His composing talent is fully reflected in this single. This single will definitely have great potential. Only then will I say 'congratulations' to you."
He only kept the topic on this cooperation and never expanded it to other places. This manner made Nagato Daiko smile on his face, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that this boy named Iwahashi was really slippery.
...However, if you don’t hold back, let’s forget it first.
In the past, I might have been sulking for this naughty boy. But things are different now. Now, I accepted BURNING's solicitation and established a record company. I also reached a cooperation with Crown Records and handed over the distribution of records to Crown Records.
Over at the Star Agency, Ikkio Sue was trying to save his face by expiring the contracts of the three harmony models. The record contract of B.B.QUEENS was signed to the newly established record company, and the management contract was signed directly to the BURNING headquarters. The two B'z people
, the record contract will also be transferred to the new record company. With the support of BURNING department, various promotions for the new single will be indispensable.
Everything is in order. If we proceed steadily, there will be many opportunities for that naughty boy to suffer in the future. Fortunately, Nagato has a big backer. He knows that the great future is at hand, so he can come more calmly. For a while, he is too lazy to fight with Iwahashi Shinichi.
.
In the plastics industry, once it is determined that this is the last cooperation, both parties will do their best.
At this point, Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't care what Nagato Daiyuki thinks. Anyway, either he has smoothed out Nagato Daiyuki's plan, or Nagato Daiyuki has caught him off guard. In the end, he can only be regarded as a rival and an enemy, not an alliance.
However, as far as this single is concerned, the harder Nagato Daiyuki works, the greater the chance for Iwahashi Shinichi to make a fortune.
…
In cooperation with Fuji TV, GENZO arranged all kinds of publicity. Before and after the single was released, an advertisement for the single was also arranged at the end of the cartoon after it was broadcast.
B.B.QUEENS has signed a contract with GENZO. Although the group's management contract has been secured, they still have to follow GENZO's arrangements for the promotion of "Let's Dance".
What's more, the original rights to the song are in the hands of Fuji TV, so even if it's BURNING by Ikuo Suho, there's no reason not to cooperate with the TV station.
No matter how powerful the firm is, it cannot act too tough in front of the TV station.
The theme song of Fuji TV animation and various audio programs of Fuji TV must be participated in. If the single performs well, the audio programs of other TV stations must also participate.
Only TBS TV station, as Fuji TV's biggest rival, has an unknown attitude.
This group was formed for the sake of animation. Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't pay much attention to maintaining a sense of mystery and not overexposed. On the contrary, he wants them to appear from April to the end of the year, even if the promotion period is over.
, as long as the single performs better on the charts, it will be arranged to appear on TV.
Of course, the premise of this arrangement is that the single can sell for a long time.
The reason for such a plan is not because they are not members of their own company, but it is because the group's positioning and their ability to attract the public by singing and dancing with simple dances are destined to make more appearances.
