The agency and the record company are spending a lot of money, Taopu Star's attention is there, the media is willing to pursue it, and the promotion of the new album is of course indispensable. Not only that, this time the new album release information is also buy one, get one free, to the outside world
The producer of the announced album is one of the most popular figures in the recent year.
The entertainment section of the newspaper set aside a large space for this album release information. The newspaper was fixed on the whiteboard in the news studio, and the telescopic rod in the host's hand pointed at the bolded title.
"Nakamori Akina-san will release his original album on September 19th. The new album will be produced by Shinichi Iwahashi. This is the second collaboration between the two after last year's planned album..."
Akina Nakamori started to be the producer of her own albums a few years ago. This time she is willing to delegate power and give up the chair of the producer of the new album to others, which is a topic. And after Shinichi Iwahashi got on the right track from the record company
, I have been focusing on the production of my own people in GENZO, and this time I took over an "outsider" singer, which is another topic.
After all, it is just a promotional information for the new album, and it will not take up too long on the TV news. When the TV news is broadcast in a hurry, the newspaper of the day will send this information to readers who pay attention to entertainment, music, and Akina Nakamori.
Fans there.
That Iwahashi producer is collaborating with Akina-san again?
Last year's planned album was a huge success, and the album sold over one million, which means that among the 100 million middle-class people in Japan, one out of every 100 people owns that album. Excluding the elderly and ignorant children
, and considering that a family jointly owns an album...it can be said that as long as they are not completely deaf, they have at least heard about last year's project.
Even if you have never bought a record, you will still know nothing if you just listen to people around you mention it. Based on this foundation, today, when the news of cooperation comes out, the reaction from the public is not just an attitude of "I know"
Simple.
Whether the producer who has produced songs for Akina Nakamori is producing an album for her this time, or whether Shinichi Iwahashi, the leader of the band era, has continuously collaborated with the first person of the idol era, it has become a topic for discussion among the enthusiastic public.
"The first collaboration may have been the result of the record company's arrangement, but the second collaboration shows that both parties were very satisfied with the last collaboration."
"Akina-san's expressiveness as a singer is unparalleled, and of course he can easily control Iwahashi-san's production style."
"Iwahashi-san is currently the best-selling producer, and there are obviously many benefits to working with him."
Ordinary people, reading the contents of newspapers, either have such thoughts in their minds, or they casually talk about it as a topic in casual chat. Although the album release information has been widely advertised, there is still some time before the release, and the official release
The publicity has not yet started. For ordinary people, after reading this information, no matter what they think in their hearts or say with their mouths, they will eventually come back to the sentence "I know". As for whether to buy it or not, it depends on the subsequent operations.
, look at the quality of the album.
But one thing is mentioned in the album release press release that the opportunity for the second collaboration came from the first collaboration. The theme of this new album was exactly the song sung by Akina Nakamori when the two collaborated last time.
That song "Kiss".
Although it was stated in the press release that the song "Kiss" would be re-sung during this collaboration, the single that had been released for more than half a year naturally became the promotional single for this new album that has not yet been released.
The song "Kiss" sold quite well when it was released as a single. The final cumulative number exceeded 300,000 copies. This was because this single was used as the closing single and the planned album was released shortly after its release.
Not only that, the band O'Day GINALLOVE, who was responsible for composing this song, re-arranged and sang this song in the album they released later, and it also became popular again.
It can be said that although this collaborative album has not been released yet, it already has one hit song. Although it is written in the draft that the song "Kiss" will be re-produced and performed.
On the one hand, the general audience wants to guess the style of the new album based on the song "Kiss". For those who are more curious, they plan to go to a record store later.
But on the other hand, because the song "Kiss" has received mixed reviews among fans of Akina Nakamori, after the news of this collaboration was released, although little specific information was revealed, there was already a heated discussion among fans.
discuss.
…
"In my opinion, Iwahashi-san should stay away from Akina-san."
During the lunch break, in the restaurant next to the company, four young people were sitting by the window, chatting leisurely. Thanks to having reserved a seat in advance, they could sit here easily during this lunch time.
This kind of relaxation becomes precious and complacent only when the room is full.
Perhaps because of this, when talking about Nakamori Akina's new album information, Higashino Yoichi, who was a little proud, criticized Shinichi Iwahashi rather unceremoniously to his tablemates.
There were two men and two women at this table, employees of the same company. They were similar in age, and the popular things around them were similar. However, Higashino Yoichi, who criticized Iwahashi Shinichi, was not a fan of Nakamori Akina.
Sitting opposite him were the company's clerks, Mari Miyabe and Yukiko Ayukawa, these two girls.
Hearing Higashino Yoichi's comments, the two girls, Miyabe Mari and Ayukawa Yukiko, had different reactions. Ayukawa Yukiko half covered her mouth, a little surprised, "Hey~ are you so strict? Why, why?"
"I think the last collaboration between Akina-san and Iwahashi-san was quite exciting!" Ayukawa Yukiko said good things for Shinichi Iwahashi, "This time the two of them announced their collaboration again, and I'm looking forward to it."
Ayukawa Yukiko was chattering, but Higashino Yoichi's eyes were looking at Miyabe Mari.
Unlike Ayukawa Yukiko who said good things for Iwahashi Shinichi and praised this collaboration, Miyabe Mari heard Higashino Yoichi's words. Although she didn't say anything, there was a trace of approval on her face.
...I know that’s what Mari Miyabe thinks.
Higashino Yoichi made a victory gesture in his heart, continued to carry the shelf, and explained to Ayukawa Yukiko who reacted fiercely: "Akina-san's expressiveness as a singer is unparalleled, but last time, she and Iwahashi
With Akina-san's cooperation, that 'gold medal producer' overemphasized commerciality and completely limited Akina-san's expressive power."
"Although I made a best-selling single in the end, I think Akina-san would never be happy singing such a song." Higashino said with determination, as if he felt sorry for Nakamori Akina.
These words were spoken to Ayukawa Yukiko, but they were addressed to Miyabe Mari. As expected, the approval on Miyabe Mari's beautiful and dignified face became even more obvious.
Ayukawa Yukiko was stunned by Higashino Yoichi's words and momentum, "Is that so?"
She was not very confident to begin with, and she knew that she was very superficial. She liked to listen to pop music, yearned for the life in urban white-collar fashion dramas, screamed for handsome guys and celebrities, and was teased by comedians' programs late at night.
Laughing loudly...
He's ordinary and superficial. If it weren't for being good friends with Mari Miyabe, he wouldn't be sitting here.
Higashi Yeyang is smiling. He is a quite upright young man. Although he has only been in the company for two years, he has a face with a promising future.
Ayukawa Yukiko's hesitation was like a compliment to him. Higashino Yoichi became even more proud and turned to talk to the fourth person at this table, another young man who had been silent since just now: "You think so too, right? Heng
ditch."
Hiroshi Henggou saw that Wen Jing was timid and looked like a little follower. He said slowly, "This is it."
Higashino Yoichi was waiting for one more supporter, but Hiroshi Henggou couldn't read the air or understand the signal he sent, so he continued to say in his slow tone, "I haven't heard it, and I don't know anything.
.”
Higashi Yeyang pounced on nothing, which was a bit boring.
Ayukawa Yukiko was full of enthusiasm and recommended to Hiroshi Henggou, "You can listen to it, it's a great song..." She glanced at Higashino Yoichi, her tone softened, and she added, "In my opinion.
"
Hiroshi Henggou nodded slightly, "Then, I'll go listen and see."
At this time, Higashino Yoichi's voice drifted over again, "Indeed, although it is a bit tacky, as a pop song, it is still a qualified work. However, if you put her in the works released by Akina-san in recent years,
…”
After all, Higashino Yoichi knew only a little about Nakamori Akina. He paused and pretended to be profound, "Anyway, after listening to it, you will understand why I made such a speech. With Akina-san's talent, there must be unlimited possibilities in the future.
.It would be a shame to get too close to a second-rate producer.”
Ayukawa Yukiko looked down on Higashino Yoichi's pretentious appearance.
Even if she is a very superficial, ordinary person with poor taste, is Higashino Yoichi qualified to point fingers at Akina-san?
What if Akina-san's career will stagnate as long as she cooperates with Iwahashi-san? Couldn't Akina-san sing for people with ordinary tastes like them?
Besides, Iwahashi-san is obviously a million-level super producer, so how come he is considered “second-rate”?
She was secretly angry in her heart, but was afraid of Higashino Yoichi's dazzling momentum, and knew that compared with handsome men and beauties like Higashino Yoichi and Miyabe Mari, she was as ordinary as a dandelion on the roadside, so she had to remain silent.
Besides, we are still colleagues on the same floor, so it will be embarrassing if we talk nonsense...
Hiroshi Henggou listened carefully to Higashino Yoichi's words. He originally had the face of a follower, but now he looked more like he was being led by Higashino Yoichi.
He listened carefully and expressed his admiration, "Higashino-kun's understanding of music is really profound."
Higashino Yoichi showed a little bit of pride, thinking that Hiroshi Yokomori had finally fallen in love with him. This time, he would show off to Mari Miyabe first, and then ask her out for a "music date", and then... he would have it all.
.
Hiroshi Yokomori was modest, "I don't understand music, so if I were to just listen to that song, I might be just like Ayukawa-chan, confused and completely unable to appreciate the wisdom of what you just said.
"
Hiroshi Yokomori was very curious about knowledge, so he asked Higashino Yoichi, a know-it-all about music, "So, Higashino-kun, can you recommend another record that can represent the level of Aina-san? ... Anyway, I have to go to a record rental store."
Ayukawa Yukiko also became curious, "Yes, which record by Akina-san does Higashino-san admire the most?"
Mari Miyabe, who was listening in, also showed an interested expression.
Higashino Yang was prepared early in the morning, "It goes without saying. The album that best combines art and business with Akina-san is undoubtedly the "C-Day MSON". Since then, Akina-san has started a new era of her personal life.
…”
This set of words, as well as the criticism of Shinichi Iwahashi just now, were all made up by him in the magazine.
""C-Day MSON"?" Hiroshi Yokomori showed an expression of sudden realization. He told Yoichi Higashino, "I heard such a song, and I thought at the time that the voice sounded like Akina-san, but it also sounded like "Girl A"
It's different now. If Akina-san sang it, then her ability to sing the song would be too strong."
Higashino Yang nodded and smiled, "Doesn't this mean that Naisang's expressiveness as a singer is unparalleled?" As he spoke, he looked at Mari Miyabe with a somewhat proud look...
Why did Miyabe Mari's expression suddenly become so cold?
There is no such a song with the same name in "C-Day MSON"! Ayukawa Yukiko thought as if she was shouting in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that she and Higashino Yoichi are colleagues on the same floor, I would really want to say this loudly
speak out!
However, even though she couldn't say it, she still felt a sense of pleasure.
This guy said a lot of things, but in fact they were all big words!... This shows that the song "Kiss" that Nai-san and Iwahashi-san collaborated on is not as worthless as this guy said.
.
However, isn't Henggou-san's approach too crooked?
Ayukawa Yukiko's face showed a little as she thought about it.
Seeing Miyabe Mari's face turn cold, Ayukawa Yukiko's expression became lively. Of course Higashino Yoichi knew that he had said the wrong thing.
Sweat broke out on Higashino Yang's head, and he began to regret that he had been careless and did not do enough homework. However, Mari Miyabe, a girl who can be coaxed as long as she has something in common, would have been as good as she was just now if the two guys hadn't sang along.
, is enough to deal with her.
Damn it! Why is Hiroshi Henggou asking all these questions? And that Ayukawa, why are you trying to persuade him to listen to that song?
In the busy restaurant, for some reason, only the big table by the window fell into a subtle silence.
Mari Miyabe looked at Higashino Yoichi who was still trying to make up for herself, and thought that Ayukawa Yukiko had long known that Higashino Yoichi was lying, but she couldn't bear to tell him, and she felt doubly ashamed.
There is no one else to blame for this kind of thing, only this pretentious guy.
Miyabe Mari didn't want to talk to Higashino Yoichi anymore, and talked to Hiroshi Henggou: "There is no song of the same name in "C-Day MSON". The song Henggou-san heard should have been sung by another singer."
"Mingna-san is indeed very versatile, but her personal style is still very strong. Generally speaking, there is no confusion."
Dong Yeyang felt like sitting on pins and needles when he listened to it.
