Kudo Shizuka was stunned for a moment, "Is it so hard?"
In my impression, the reputation of this Iwabashi producer is quite good. Does it turn out that there is such a side? Kudo Shizuka was a little surprised.
However, considering that Producer Iwahashi has taken over all the power in the company at a young age, since he is a young and promising talent, it seems that it is normal for him to be conceited.
She thought about it in her mind, after Akina Nakamori said what she said, she felt that it was not good to just say bad things about Shinichi Iwahashi, so she added a few words for him, "Domineering is domineering, but if the opinions raised are reasonable, they will not blindly do so."
Unreasonable."
As for "You guy!", that's something only the people in the recording studio know.
Shizuka Kudo nodded, thinking this was reasonable. She smiled and said, "If it makes sense, he wouldn't be a tyrant."
Nakamori Akina said "Hmm~" and got through it like this.
Kudo Shizuka said of her, "In fact, rather than appearing in a variety show that Iwahashi-san participated in, I would like to ask Iwahashi-san to help produce music if there is a chance."
However, before Shinichi Iwahashi became the president of a record company, his reputation was not prominent. Popular idols like Shizuka Kudo could not see such small roles. Now, Shinichi Iwahashi has become the president-san, focusing on his own singers.
production, it would be difficult to invite him to cooperate.
It’s not that Shizuka Kudo doesn’t know this. Because she knows it, she is not attached in her heart and can talk about it casually.
Nakamori Akina heard this and replied: "As for me, I would like to participate in the variety show that Shizuka-chan is recording."
Speak the words yourself and laugh first.
Kudo Shizuka also laughed. The two girls, without paying attention, actually confirmed that what they can't get is what they want more, and what others have is better than what they have... and so on.
When Iwahashi Shinichi originally conceived this program, Nakamori Akina listened to a lot of what he said, and she enthusiastically gave him advice... and even said that she wanted to participate when the time came.
Now that the show is on regular schedule, I don’t know when I will receive his invitation.
Iwahashi Shinichi is a man who does what he says, and his promises are worth a thousand dollars.
Akina Nakamori knew this about him. Although she was thinking about this, she still believed that she would definitely receive his invitation.
However, if you want to catch him off guard, just tell your manager that you want to participate in the show that Shizuka-chan participated in. Before you go to tease others, you should first deal with Shinichi Iwahashi, a guy who is too calm.
Give it a try.
Nakamori Akina secretly had random thoughts and broke up with Kudo Shizuka. One of them went to record a show, and the other didn't have work until eight o'clock in the evening.
I have some free time and can't do big things.
She called her mother, Chieko, at a public phone booth. After putting down the receiver, she took a taxi to Kiyose.
…
Chieko still lives at home alone.
After hanging up the phone with Akina Nakamori, she went out to the shopping street before her daughter came over. When she got home, she put away the food she had purchased, found flower scissors, and re-trimmed the small handful of flowers she bought.
As I was putting the flowers into the vase, there was a sound at the door.
Not long after, a voice sounded outside the living room: "Mother~"
Akina Nakamori stood at the door of the living room, leaned out half of her body, and greeted Chieko with a smile. As soon as she reached her mother's side, she became a child waiting for snacks after coming home from school.
Chieko waved to her, "Welcome back, Akina-chan."
The children who came back from the outside went to wash their hands and rinse their mouths, and the mother who was waiting at home put the shortbread she had just bought on a plate. The mother and daughter sat next to each other and happily tasted the snacks.
When she came here, she passed by Kiyose Station. Akina Nakamori saw that the Nakamori building was being renovated, and all traces of the Nakamori family had been wiped away.
After the decision was made to sell the building and the store was closed, the eldest sister, who originally traveled between home and the store, moved back completely, and recently started planning to open a small restaurant near her home.
Akio Nakamori and his wife disliked each other, so they lived outside and never came back.
The second brother's family still lives in Kiyose. The second brother found another job, and his wife stayed at home to take care of the eldest son and their newborn daughter.
It seems that after selling the building, the brothers and sisters returned to their original lives.
Despite this, the relationship between brother and sister is still subtle.
On the one hand, the love between brothers and sisters who grew up shoulder to shoulder is still in their hearts. On the other hand, her brothers and sisters also feel that they have never benefited from having such a big star sister, but rather because of this.
Sister, it is such a grievance to be thought by outsiders that I have made so much money.
When you grow up, you should have your own life. Once you can't figure it out, it becomes a situation where grievances and hatreds are mixed together. When it's good, I feel warm and affectionate when I think about it. When it's not going well, I feel suffocated.
mind.
But in any case, after selling the building, the brothers and sisters returned to their original lives, which was better than the previous situation of being chained to a building.
Now, if we can avoid being affected by the subtle thoughts of our family members, then we can really live in peace.
The only thing is that the building was successfully sold, and Chieko and Nakamori Akina, mother and daughter, were both in a relaxed mood. Thinking that her mother supported the matter and that her mother was happy after it was handled, Nakamori Akina felt confident.
Of course, she was also thanking Shinichi Iwahashi in her heart for staying with her, listening to her complaints, explaining her problems, and suggesting that she consult her mother.
It is true that she always brings trouble to him. But if she thinks about it selfishly, Akina Nakamori secretly touches her heart and feels that she has experienced big things with him.
"The program that Iwahashi participated in is about to be broadcast."
At her mother's side, Nakamori Akina was like a fan who spontaneously promoted the show. She first told Chieko, "TV Asahi, Thursday at 11 p.m."
Chieko nodded, looked at her daughter, and said imitatingly: "TV Asahi, Thursday at 11 p.m."
"That's right~" In front of her mother, she was quite shameless. She didn't care at all about the joking nature of Chieko's actions.
Akina Nakamori whetted her mother's appetite, "I won't tell you what the specific content is, but it's a prank..."
"Okay." Chieko agreed.
She is very energetic, "I like to watch prank shows. Akina-chan has participated in secret reports on celebrity pranks, but she has watched every episode without missing a single episode."
Chieko smiled, and Akina Nakamori drooped her eyebrows as she remembered how miserable she was.
When did Shinichi invite her to show off his skills?
This pitiful look was even more interesting in Chieko's eyes.
However, Nakamori Akina's little entanglement went away as quickly as it came. Seeing her mother happy made her happy, and she put the shortbread in her mouth and chewed it.
She couldn't hide anything in her heart. The information that she had not leaked to Shizuka Kudo in advance came to Chieko and she poured it out again, "Iwahashi and I have another album to collaborate on."
"The planned album seems to be selling very well," Chieko said.
Akina Nakamori nodded, "The total number seems to be close to 1.3 million..." This year has not even passed half yet. Based on this momentum, by the time the list ends at the end of the year, maybe two million copies will be sold.
Now, this album is the first million-selling album of the year. If it can really sell two million, it will set a record.
"It's really incredible." Chieko exclaimed.
Nakamori Akina continued to nod, "That's incredible." Bringing the topic back, "However, this time it's not a collaborative album. It's a regular album."
She held her chin with one hand and pouted, "The press release for public announcement should be released soon. When we held the discussion meeting, everyone felt that the theme of the album was not suitable for release in the summer. The release time should be postponed.
It’s not good to send out the draft too early.”
Looking at it like this, it’s like I put on the new dress my mother bought on Saturday night and was looking forward to Monday. But on that day, the school was closed again because of the flu season. I could only look at the new dress at home and look forward to the start of school soon.
child.
"What's the theme?" Chieko imitated her daughter and held her chin with one hand, showing great interest.
Nakamori Akina lowered her eyelids and said, "It's KISS, KISS." She decided to be shameless and didn't care if her mother laughed at her.
But Chieko didn't laugh at her daughter, she just nodded, "I understand."
Facing her daughter who was so frank, as if she didn't care about anything but was full of expectations, Chieko couldn't laugh at her, and she couldn't laugh out loud.
…
In the evening, the newspaper delivery boy delivered today's evening newspaper. Akina Nakamori went to retrieve the newspaper and spread it out on the low table in the living room.
She called her agent, Omoto-san, and asked him to pick her up from her hometown later. "...If you come here early, my mother will entertain Omoto-san for dinner."
She invited her warmly. But Ben on the other end of the phone couldn't accept this kind offer.
In April, the days are getting longer, and before five o'clock, it is dawn.
Nakamori Akina put down the phone, stood outside the kitchen, and told Chieko, "Omoto-san will come over after dinner."
Chieko rinsed the peeled broad beans and "steamed the broad beans with rice."
Akina Nakamori agreed, "The portion should be smaller, so don't waste it after eating." She helped Chieko cut the vegetables neatly. She returned to the living room, and while waiting for the meal, she turned the newspaper to the lifestyle section and read Housewife with relish.
Column.
First read the housewife column to learn some life knowledge that may not be useful, and then read the gossip in the entertainment section. When you see the name of a familiar artist, if it is a good thing like love, just smile secretly.
Nakamori Akina thought to herself, seeing familiar names in the reports.
Hidemi Ishikawa's agency has denied rumors that Hidemi Ishikawa and Yuhide Marumaru, a former member of Team Shibukaki, are going to get married.
Last year, when Seiko Matsuda's independent incident caused unrest in the entertainment industry, because of her ignition, all the famous idol stars in the entertainment industry became the targets of gossip magazines.
At that time, the entertainment section was full of big news every now and then. Love, dating, incest... Among them, the news about Ishikawa Hidemi and Yamaru Yuei being photographed was not really breaking news.
The two of them did not become top-tier stars in their peak period, and both became second-rate figures after they were out of breath. Shibu Persimmons, a team that Yuei once worked for, became popular for a while. After the group disbanded, Yuei Umaru quit Johnny's and started his career again.
Hidemi Ishikawa, on the other hand, never reached the front line when she was at her peak. After that, she showed signs of decline early on. In the past two years, her presence has become even thinner.
Akina Nakamori has a very good relationship with Hidemi Ishikawa, and she vaguely knew a few years ago that Hidemi Ishikawa and Yuhide Marumaru were dating. However, if I didn't say anything about this kind of thing, there would be no reason for others to expose it.
Her career was booming, while Hidemi Ishikawa had long since faded. They were busy with their own affairs, and had less and less chance to meet. Unexpectedly, a few months after the two were exposed, things progressed to the point where the agency came forward to deny the rumors of getting married.
This step.
She was confused for a moment. Did Xiumei-chan and Yaowan-kun really plan to get married?
It would be inappropriate to ask such a question rashly. However, if you don’t ask it, you still feel worried.
The firm comes forward to deny this, which is a matter of great interest to the general public, but people in the industry understand what it means. To the extent that it is denied in the newspapers, it proves one thing that the firm is opposed to the relationship between the two people.
At least, it's not support.
…
After a busy period in early April, Shinichi Iwahashi took time to prepare for going to Los Angeles to investigate and build a recording studio. Misa Watanabe conveyed the message through Manyumi Watanabe, and if they wanted to express their support, he contacted Watanabe Productions
Contact the person recommended there.
The significance of Misa Watanabe's expression of support is greater than the help she can provide. Similarly, the significance of Shinichi Iwahashi's acceptance of this help is greater than the help itself.
Of course, since it is a "helper", it is by no means useless and just a flower shelf on the table.
In this era when Japanese people are buying and selling all over the world, since some people go to Los Angeles to invest in real estate, it is not ruled out that some musicians with hot heads will go to build recording studios.
Especially since it is an upstart record company that has made a lot of money not long after its establishment.
It’s not surprising that any nouveau riche would make some incredible deals.
Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't care whether he is regarded as a nouveau riche or not. To put it into perspective, he has only been in the industry for a few years and his record company has only been established for two years. He already owns three popular bands and has luxury cars to ride in... It's true that he looked left and right.
They all look like nouveau riche.
By mid-April, ZARD, who had returned to Tokyo to sort out a round of album tracks, went to Los Angeles from Tokyo again. This time, Shinichi Iwahashi, the chief producer, also set out with him to supervise the production of the band's album and conduct local inspections.
Down.
Investigate first, then make specific decisions slowly.
Los Angeles has no shortage of musicians. It not only attracts musicians from all over the world to settle here one after another, but also countless bands like ZARD come and go to make music here.
Two days before departure, Shinichi Iwahashi held a meeting with the members of ZARD to discuss the production progress. After the meeting, while chatting, he heard Tomohisa Kawazoe mention that Yutaka Ozaki was also there at the recording studio rented by the band.
The band even met Yutaka Ozaki while having tea near the recording studio.
