After Shinichi Iwahashi returned home, he opened the bag that Akina Nakamori had handed him before going out. Inside was the breakfast prepared for him.
She woke up too early and had no appetite, so she made breakfast and asked him to take it away.
After sleeping for two or three hours, he would get up and prepare breakfast for him. He would not be allowed to go out with an empty stomach, at least not with empty hands. Iwahashi Shinichi realized from Nakamori Akina's considerate and considerate care that a woman was completely devoted to him.
What's going on.
However, realizing this did not make Iwahashi Shinichi feel complacent. On the contrary, from her meticulousness in private and the restraint and forbearance she occasionally showed in her daily words and deeds, from the contrast between the two, she also felt it
When it comes to Nakamori Akina's strong self-esteem.
Knowing this, Iwahashi Shinichi is full of expectations for this collaborative album, and is full of enthusiasm for dating her publicly. He feels that no matter what he faces by then, it will not be a problem.
Iwahashi Shinichi has not been to Nakamori Akina's house for a while, and the suit he is wearing has a faint smell of mothballs. The apartment he lives in is full of office workers. When he leaves his home again, at this moment,
The residents in the apartment have almost started their day's activities.
When I arrived at the company, I had a meeting with the production team of Daikoku Moki this morning.
Daikuro Maki's three-month short-term study in New York ended a few days ago, and she has just returned to Tokyo for two days. Iwahashi Shinichi gave her three days of vacation to rest, and then went into the recording studio to prepare her debut album and single.
of production.
When Daikoku Maki was sent to Los Angeles to work as a producer assistant for ZARD, in Tokyo, Shinichi Iwahashi took the lead and started to form a production team for her. Like ZARD, Daikoku Maki was the producer of these two.
The group is currently the only two groups of singers in GENZO for which Shinichi Iwahashi is responsible for everything from coordination to execution to music production.
Currently, the debut date decided for her is late November or early December, which is plenty of time.
The team has been formed early, and various promotions for her debut have begun to be paved. She is just waiting for Dai Heimoji to enter the recording studio. Before her debut, her record company manager will lead her to various places.
Daikuro Moki's music is full of impact, and the debut plan prepared for her is also particularly vigorous. The related publicity funds are also the highest since the establishment of GENZO.
Ordinary singers, after learning that their debut is the largest among the singers in the company, will be more panicked than happy, fearing that their results will not be satisfactory, their promotional expenses will be wasted, and they will be accelerated.
refrigeration.
But Daikoku Moki is different. She is not the kind of submissive character. She was born as a young lady. Until she was introduced to BEING and Nagato Daiyuki disparaged her, she had never really encountered any setbacks. Even after being introduced
Going to BEING is not considered a setback, but an episode.
She signed a contract with Shinichi Iwahashi, whom she had admired since high school, and was encouraged by his high hopes. During this period, although Keiko Utoku debuted one step ahead of her, she felt confused for a moment, but she immediately went to Los Angeles as a producer assistant for ZARD
, followed by three months of studying in New York. After returning, the team was ready to arrange for her to record and make her debut.
Although there were a few twists and turns, overall it went quite smoothly. In this way, her self-confidence was well preserved. Therefore, even if she knew the scale of her debut, she could only be happy, and she would never let down Iwahashi.
San's confidence.
Such an idea is in line with Shinichi Iwahashi's hopes.
A genius with a unique personality like Moki Daikoku will lose her charm once the edges are worn away. The more she maintains this "who else but me" aura, the more opportunities she has to occupy a position in the music world.
Next place.
On the opposite side of her, Keiko Utoku has been debuting for two months. From mid-May to the whole of June, she used this time to visit broadcasting stations across the country to promote her.
After entering July, her promotional role began to show when she traveled across the country. Her debut single, which had no media promotion when it was released, has really made its way from the bottom of the list to the highest ranking in the past two months.
It has reached No. 16. This ranking may not seem high, but as the first single of a solo newcomer, it is not too low. Besides, the real large-scale promotion is about to begin.
After returning to Tokyo, the TV promotion prepared for Utoku Keiko was immediately picked up. The rainy season is about to pass, and the refreshing summer single is just about to show its charm in summer. Utoku Keiko is a cooperative label between GENZO and Stardust.
Not only did GENZO contribute, but Stardust also paid close attention to it and actively cooperated with the publicity.
After all, Keiko Utoku is not only a new female solo, but also a sign of cooperation between GENZO and Stardust.
Thanks to the nationwide promotion, the news that GENZO and Stardust's sub-label will hold a new talent selection event that will not be open to the public in October has also spread throughout the country.
Now, sub-labels receive about a hundred application forms for selection every day. A dedicated person is responsible for the initial screening, eliminating those who are too outrageous, and then sends out a notification letter for being selected for the preliminary audition.
I have to be busy with Dai Hei Mo Ji and the sub-label's new talent selection meeting.
Although the two groups of solo singers and bands that have just debuted do not have to go through Iwahashi Shinichi's hands, they still have the commission from Masaharu Fukuyama to debut from Yokichi Ohri, and the idol band that Johnny's is about to form...
In his spare time, he also had to interview new people who had sent their audition tapes to GENZO to add fresh blood to the GENZO headquarters. This July, and even the entire second half of the year, Iwahashi Shinichi had to be busy dealing with new people.
It’s hard to make a meal without rice. Since you want to expand the scale, you can do without anything, but you can’t do without potential newcomers.
To expand the scale, it is not just about launching more popular singers and moving to larger office buildings.
The issuance entrustment contract with JVC was to be renewed in September, but relevant negotiations had to start in mid-July. Today, GENZO is no longer the unknown small company it was before. To renew the issuance entrustment contract, some terms must also be renewed.
Follow the changes. In addition, reducing the commission on JVC's distribution is also something that we have confidence in and must do.
Discussing the distribution entrustment contract made Shinichi Iwahashi wonder whether GENZO should consider establishing its own independent distribution network in the future if it can gain a firm foothold.
At present, GENZO has the ability to produce and distribute records, and has also taken back the production and distribution of videos. It can be called a regular record company. As for the distribution network, it has the ability to build a logistics company to distribute its own goods. Such a company
You can count them on your fingers. Not to mention small companies, medium-sized companies also outsource their distribution.
When it comes time to build an independent distribution network, it will not only be a matter of burning money or effort, but also having to compete with several distribution companies for share. After all, when a distribution network is built, it will not only distribute GENZO's own records, but also GENZO's own records.
We will accept distribution commissions from other companies. If we accidentally stumble on this, we may have to ask all the singers in the company to go on a concert tour to pay off the debt.
However, if you can really build your own distribution network, it may not just be used to sell records or magazines.
Of course, a small workshop cannot accomplish such a big thing, so the best we can do now is to consider this possibility.
Nowadays, if you want to expand the scale, you have to consider adding new partners. With GENZO today, it is not difficult to find new partners, but if you want to find the one you like, you have to think twice before making a move.
Especially now that Takeda Printing Company is the boss, Watanabe Manyumi is fully cooperating, and Iwahashi Shinichi is the center of operations. If new forces join in, it may not be feasible to continue to maintain this state.
Although Iwahashi Shinichi is not the kind of person who wants to be the boss and ensure that he is in control. However, before considering bringing this matter to the table, he must first figure out what GENZO needs now and in the future. In recent years,
What is the goal for the year?
…
Gossip magazines have to be busy every week, whether the news is big or small. When there is no big news, small news is also big news. The industry has been relatively calm recently, so there is news that idol star Eisaku Yoshida and a model from the VIVI series are in love.
, it was also treated as big news and reported with great fanfare.
Rising idols, regardless of gender, must have an explanation for their scandals. Either the agency will clarify the matter on their behalf and silence the reporters, or the agency will ignore it and press the reporter's microphone in front of the person involved.
In short, it won't work to just get by as if nothing happened. Not only that, this rule is particularly strict with idols. Whoever is allowed to be an idol will eat a bowl of food that treats themselves as a commodity exhibition. At this moment, reporter Biao
They were so fierce that they divided their forces into several groups and even went to the hometowns of both men and women. Taking the photos taken together, they asked their parents what they thought about their children's love scandal.
If you really want to say it, the reporters have done this to a certain extent, in fact, they are more or less deliberately trying to embarrass Yoshida Eisaku and add trouble to this idol rising star. The bigger the fuss, the higher the attention.
The more viewers there are.
Similarly, the more interviews are conducted with multiple parties, the more likely it is that the person concerned will be embarrassed. When being put in front of the camera, one mistake is enough to lose the favorability of the public.
As for whether the reporters did this simply because they were free, or because they were retaliated for the poor management of the firm, or because a rival firm took the opportunity to take advantage of it, please reporters to add more information, that cannot be put on the table.
It's over.
It is impossible for Eisaku Yoshida, an idol who has just become famous but has a relatively weak foundation, not to be affected. If he delays this even a little bit, he might give up the opportunity that comes to him and allow other peers to take the lead.
After taking such a blow, what happens next will also test the firm's ability to operate.
However, Eisaku Yoshida was somewhat lucky. When he was being chased and intercepted, the public's attention was drawn to another piece of gossip. Former Shibu Persimmon team member Yakumaru Yuei and female idol Ishikawa Hidemi published an article in the newspaper.
They wrote a joint letter about getting married and announced that they would hold a wedding press conference on TV Tokyo.
In terms of popularity, Yue Maru and Hidemi Ishikawa are not as popular as Eisaku Yoshida, but they are both as skinny as a camel is bigger than a horse, and the wedding announcement is quite interesting, and they really attracted the public's attention.
It was attracted by force.
Because Hidemi Ishikawa is nearly four months pregnant. After getting married, she will withdraw from her agency and temporarily retire from the entertainment industry.
The couple, Yuei Umamaru and Hidemi Ishikawa, were photographed dating at the end of last year. At the beginning of this year, it was reported that they were getting married, but they were immediately denied by the agency. This time, it is no more, no less, the third time.
As the saying goes, gossip is the same. If love announcements are frequent, they will annoy the audience, especially if they are not a popular star or a couple that the public likes to see.
Having said that, there are really not many celebrities who can satisfy both "popularity" and "people love to hear about their love".
Generally speaking, if the marriage rumors are denied, it means that the two parties have at least dated. In addition, the reason why the agency denies it is that either the company objects, or there are still contract issues that have not been clarified, so it is temporarily announced.
Each draft is stable.
If it is the latter case, once the contract is clarified, the previous negation will be negated again, leading to marriage. But if it is the former, if you want to get married, you have to fight the firm to the end.
The pair of Ishikawa Hidemi and Yamaru Yuei are in the former situation.
Yaomaru Yuying has long been independent from Johnny's, and no one is dictating what he wants. But for Hidemi Ishikawa, her agency strongly opposes it.
These two people who were determined to get married persisted in confronting the firm, so they resorted to the trump card of getting married, forcing the firm to release them. The result of fighting the firm to the end was that Hidemi Ishikawa quit the firm, and
Retreat temporarily.
This retreat lasted for at least three years. After three years, if she can reconcile with the firm and get back the right to use the name "Ishikawa Hidemi", she can return. If the firm refuses to let her go, or
Change your stage name, or retire to the end.
…
Halfway through the recording of the program, during the intermission, Akina Nakamori returned to the lounge. Assistant Momoi held up a newspaper to read to her, "Does Akina-san know? Yamaru-san and Ishikawa-san announced that they are getting married."
The assistant followed Akina Nakamori and knew that these two people had a good relationship with her.
Akina Nakamori reacted first, took the newspaper and read it, and was surprised.
Last time, at the 82 group gathering, Yuying Yamaru faced Koizumi Kyoko's question and said half-heartedly, "We will find out soon."
It has only been a month or two since he said those words, and it did come very quickly. However, I didn't expect it to be in this way.
Calculating time, Ishikawa Hidemi was already pregnant when she attended the party. These two people have been opposed by Ishikawa Hidemi's agency since they were photographed at the end of last year. It is obvious that they have reached this point.
Heart.
Both Hidemi Ishikawa and Hidehi Marumaru have a good relationship with Akina Nakamori, and Akina Nakamori and Hidemi Ishikawa are even good friends. It is certainly worth being happy if friends can get married after dating for many years.
While she was reading the newspaper, she was already planning in her mind that she should call Ishikawa Hidemi later. But then she thought, at this moment, Ishikawa Hidemi and Yamaru Yuei's phone calls were probably going to be full.
If you call me today, it will probably cause trouble for Xiumei-chan...
Akina Nakamori even began to consider what wedding gifts to give them. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.
