The music festival will be held in Tokyo, and the available open-air venues are limited.
The planning committee considered large parks, plazas, and parking lots with open spaces within Tokyo. Among them, the application time for parking lots is the shortest, only three months, and the application time for parks is the longest, one year.
The square is in between.
Different venues have different stage effects. Until a decision is made, nothing can happen. The only thing is that we can start contacting co-organizers to share the pressure of this music festival.
Watanabe Productions holds shares in Warner Pioneer, and has cooperated more frequently with Fuji Sankei's Polygon in recent years. At this time, these two record companies have become their targets.
On the one hand, this music festival is held to increase the influence of women's rock. On the other hand, it is also intended to attract fresh blood in this field through this music festival. Therefore, it is natural for people in the underground music circle to
has entered the invited range.
The bait thrown by Watanabe Productions is that the two record companies can take this opportunity to discover potential newcomers.
Warner Pioneer is a record company that is very good at producing idols. Big star Akina Nakamori publishes songs under this label. Polygon is relatively weak, but it is a record company that Watanabe Productions has worked closely with in recent years.
Nowadays, the idol market is saturated. Although everyone continues to invest in idols, they have also begun to pay attention to other directions.
The record company, which has dedicated personnel to collect market trends all year round, has also paid attention to the band's rising popularity among teenagers. The music festival that Watanabe Productions is currently organizing, although it may not allow the record company to attract the beautiful woman, it is still a good opportunity.
Finding a good co-organizer can, on the one hand, reduce financial pressure, and on the other hand, it can draw more attention and support through the co-organizer's network.
Polygon, which belongs to Fuji Sankei, is a related company to Fuji TV, and can also provide media attention to the music festival, not to mention Warner Pioneer, which is a giant.
Watanabe Productions even contacted private enterprises to seek sponsorship. Even if Watanabe Productions' momentum declined, it was still able to do whatever activities it wanted to do.
When looking for co-organizers, the venue was roughly decided.
Taking into account various issues such as the effect of the venue, the scale of the music festival, etc., the final location decided was Wangan Plaza in Jiangdong District.
There are a lot of warehouses in Koto District right now. When you open one here, you don’t have to worry about disturbing the people. The Japanese people are very capable of complaining.
The square is very spacious. If it is fully opened as a concert venue, it can accommodate about 30,000 people. It is said that there are expansion plans in Koto District. The rebuilt square will be a fatter and larger version that can hold a super large open-air concert of 50,000 people.
.
The reason for planning to expand this square is related to the current booming infrastructure construction atmosphere in the country.
Japan's real estate boom started before Tanaka, Bulldozer, and Kakuei came to power, and slowly climbed from the 1970s to the 1980s.
From the rapid development of poverty alleviation in the 1950s to today's Japan, both the government and the private sector have strong financial resources.
Since the signing of the Plaza Accord, the exchange rate of the yen has risen sharply, which has caused a setback in trade and exports. In order to cope with this situation and improve the damage to the export industry caused by the appreciation of the yen, the government began to implement policies to expand domestic demand and encourage consumption, and urban development
, the improvement of residential buildings, improvement of people's livelihood and public utilities are the current goals... speak human words.
Oh, I had too much money to spend, so I spent it on real estate, land and stocks.
That is to say, if you talk about having too much money to spend, in the end the rich will have too much money to spend and throw it away, while the poor will be trapped in this luxuriant atmosphere and struggle to move forward. If you are not careful, you will fall into a trap.
At worst, they will lose their entire family and fall into the hell of abject poverty; at worst, they will be sold as laborers and dispatched girls and die without a burial place.
In Japan, where associations are legal, dark places are so dark that even nine suns cannot illuminate them.
I'm going too far. In short, Koto District actively responded to the call. However, I feel that this square is too small. It is better to expand it and change it into a super large square that is also attracting attention throughout Tokyo...
However, for this music festival, the real situation is that we are worried that even the 30,000 people will not be able to absorb it, so we only plan to use about two-thirds of the number, and the target number of people mobilized is 15,000 people.
After starting to negotiate the venue, Watanabe Productions got the venue map of Wangan Plaza, designed the stage according to the topography of the venue, and carried out on-site planning. Where is the main stage and where is the sub-stage, how should each area be divided, where will souvenirs be sold, and where will the people be?
Where to deal with three emergencies, how to set up stalls...these are all problems.
Shinichi Iwahashi’s work almost focuses on “people”.
On the one hand, she negotiated with the committee members about the candidates to be invited and posted hero posts widely. On the other hand, it was Keiko Terada who helped him get in touch and introduced him to the musicians she had previously attracted who were interested in the music festival.
There is an unknown band called PrinessPriness that was originally called Akasaka Komachi but was dissatisfied with the original company's style and switched jobs to BS Sony. Keiko Terada and the band's drummer were friends who knew each other before they debuted. Mioshi Ogawa, the lead singer of the avant-garde rock band Hakra,
, there is another one who is amazing, she is a heavy metal singer named Mari Hamada.
To say she is great does not mean that she is a famous person who needs to deliver a name card and visit with gifts. In fact, before this, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't even know who Mari Hamada was. But the day I went to see her, she happened to be in Kitazawa.
There was a performance at the club, so I stopped by to watch it, and then...
I was shocked by her terrifying high notes that could kill people.
What did such people grow up eating?
And when the performance ended, Keiko Terada introduced Shinichi Iwahashi to Mari Hamada, and learned that the girl who sang with her with a high note who could kill two more people than Mari Hamada was her biological sister...
I really want to see what kind of parents these two sisters are, who could raise such a daughter.
There are indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the music industry. If you grab a handful of people who are beautiful, can sing well, and can create, they can move from the underground to the mainstream. First, there is a big barrier that blocks 98% of people.
Even if they make their debut as expected, with the right time, right place, and the right people in the industry, very few will be able to become popular.
Because competition is fierce, opportunities are particularly important. This music festival is also a type of "opportunity".
Shinichi Iwahashi, who pushed Keiko Terada's idea into reality, in a sense provided the opportunity for this opportunity to arise. Because of this, as long as Keiko Terada introduced him as "the agent who proposed the project at Watanabe Productions
", her friends would treat him well even if they met for the first time.
Because of this project, Shinichi Iwahashi became famous in the girl rock scene.
