If you are in the entertainment industry and are not raided by reporters from weekly magazines, then you are not considered to be at the top of your game... Anyone who can say this must have already enjoyed this kind of treatment.
The reporter surnamed Sato did not get any advantage from Shinichi Iwahashi, and this did not hinder the release of "Weekly Bunshun", which had already posted a preview.
The two days from the trailer to the official publication were enough to attract the public's attention.
Akina Nakamori is a top star that everyone knows, and Shinichi Iwahashi has just made a big splash. With these two people's names combined together, unless you have no interest in the entertainment industry, no matter how indifferent you are,
I couldn't help but take another look.
In the past two days since the release trailer was released, public relations agencies and record companies have been busy preparing to deal with it. However, the popularity among the public is definitely not low.
Ordinary readers were attracted by this headline notice. Among Nakamori Akina’s supporters, this notice stirred up waves with one stone——
Akina-san is dating the producer of her new album?!
It was not long ago that Akina Nakamori announced the release information of the new album. At that time, there was a wave of discussion among fans because the two people would collaborate again. There were even fans who were optimistic about the cooperation between the two people and Iwahashi thought that
The collaboration between Shinichi and Akina Nakamori had no spark, causing disagreements and disputes among fans.
As a result, tell everyone now that these two people started dating?
I was still debating whether the cooperation between Akina-san and Iwahashi-san was good or bad, but it turns out that these two people are already dating?!
Where there is "no sparks", there are clearly "sparks flying"!
Fans who were eager to find out the situation had already started calling to order magazines when they saw the trailer, and even made a special call to Nakamori Akina's office, hoping to get an accurate answer. Among them, some did not like Iwahashi Shinichi
It was a single produced for Akina Nakamori, so he was not very fond of him. However, some people suspected that this was a hype before the release of the new album.
After the release of "Shukan Bunshun", the new album will be released in less than two weeks. At this juncture, the relationship is revealed... But, can a magazine like "Shukan Bunshun" help put the hyped news on the headlines?!
Thanks to Shin Iwahashi's identity as the man in black behind the scenes, he has not released much information to the public. What the general public knows more clearly is that the music festival for which he served as the chief producer has just ended.
Earlier, the project album he produced became the first million-selling album in Heisei. Those with better memories may remember that earlier, he helped the troubled band THE BLUE HEARTS.
There are many people who respect and admire Shinichi Iwahashi, but not many people care about his private life. Although he is quite popular among middle-aged housewives, he has neither fanatic fans nor a support group, so there are no fans of his.
A big scene of fighting with fans of Nakamori Akina.
...It is possible for mothers and children to look at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
However, there are still some people who still remember that this Iwahashi producer was also photographed together with the actress Momoko Kikuchi who worked in the same agency as Akina Nakamori.
What on earth is this?
Is there any hidden secret between these three people? Are Iwahashi Shinichi and Kikuchi Momo just a hype? Or are things between him and these two female stars all a hype? Kenin can't let two of its female stars be with the same man.
Are you speculating on scandals?
However, it would be more subtle if this man had dated both of the female stars in Yanyin.
"Can this Iwahashi-san do it?"
"The person who should ask this question should be Akina-san, right? She must have been deceived!"
"Peach jam is so pitiful~"
"It would be too cunning to say that Kikuchi-san is pitiful right now? Who knows what is going on."
"What do you mean by this? Did Momoko-chan deliberately approach that guy?"
The general public was silently waiting for the official issue of "Weekly Bunshun", and there was a heated discussion among fans of Akina Nakamori. Behind-the-scenes men like Shinichi Iwahashi were not busy rushing to argue with girlfriend fans, but neither were fans of Akina Nakamori.
Just relax like this.
Some fans of Momoko Kikuchi had objections to this scandal, while some fans of Akina Nakamori had a heated argument in order to protect their idol.
It was at the end of the summer vacation, and the group with the strongest combat effectiveness was at leisure.
In terms of popularity, Momoko Kikuchi is certainly not as good as Akina Nakamori. After transforming into an actress, the fans from the original idol era have been purged again. But the fans who remain after going through so many things, either take everything as they come, or one can stand up to three.
The two sides were quarreling back and forth, and gradually deviated from the topic, becoming a quarrel between two fans of the most popular female stars in the same agency. "If Akina-san hadn't focused on being a singer, where would Kikuchi-san's position be?" and again
"How could Akina-san understand Momojima's determination to give up her singing career and attack her acting career with all her strength?" Shinichi Iwahashi, a man, has long been thrown out of the center of the topic.
However, whether it is waiting silently, or having a heated discussion, or passionate debate, the same atmosphere is brewing. Everything is ready to go, just waiting for the publication of the main text of "Weekly Bunshun" to detonate it all.
Finally, the official day of Thursday arrived, and a sign saying "Weekly Bunshun is on sale" was hung on the newsstand.
The long lead was pulled open and ignited.
…
On the TV news early in the morning, as expected, it was reported that Nakamori Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi were dating. As the wife listened to the TV host talking about this big news, she tasted the saltiness of the soup with a spoon.
"...For the specific content, the "Weekly Bunshun" published today carried a ten-page report."
Hearing this sentence, the wife picked up the salt shaker and added a quarter spoonful of salt to the soup. She thought to herself that the ten-page report was absolutely full of pictures and texts, and there would be no falsehood.
However, Akina-chan really dated Iwahashi-kun.
The wife thought so, and felt a little unspeakable in her heart. Her surname was Suzuki, and she had moved to Kiyose for more than ten years. She lived in the same Katamachi as Akina Nakamori's family. She was very familiar with Chieko, and she also knew that Akina Nakamori made her debut before
appearance.
Last year, during the THE BLUE HEARTS incident, Iwahashi Shinichi made his first public appearance on TV. Since then, Mrs. Suzuki had a very good impression of the decent-looking and masculine Iwahashi Shinichi. When she met Chieko, she also
I once asked her if she had ever heard Akina-chan talk about this person.
At that time, Chieko-san still answered "no". Who would have thought that now, a month or two later, Akina-chan, who has watched her grow up, would be dating Iwahashi-kun.
However, the person I am dating is Akina-chan, so there is nothing to say...
After all, I watched Akina-chan grow up and knew that she was a good child and worthy of a man like Iwahashi-kun.
and.
Mrs. Suzuki suddenly thought that after Iwahashi-kun and Akina-chan started dating, she might have the opportunity to meet Iwahashi-kun in person. Thinking of this, Mrs. Suzuki became even more curious about the content of this issue of "Weekly Bunshun" and eagerly wanted to know that
What is the content of the ten-page report?
I prepared breakfast and took care of my husband before going out. My son Kazuya, who just entered high school this year, made an appointment to go to the indoor ski resort in Chiba with his friends today.
You can get a big discount on student tickets - Kazuya told his mother.
After sending her husband and son away, Mrs. Suzuki walked out of the house and went to the nearest "Tanaka Bookstore". Before half past nine, the bookstore had lost more than half of the "Shukan Bunshun".
It has always been a best-selling magazine, and every issue sells very well after it arrives, but today it is selling particularly fast. The most eye-catching headline on the cover of the magazine is the report about Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi.
Sure enough, a lot of people are concerned about the Akina-chan scandal.
Kiyose is Akina-chan's hometown... Mrs. Suzuki stood outside the store and was distracted for a while. Two more young men bought two copies of "Weekly Bunshun". She quickly bought her own copy.
In fact, Mrs. Suzuki usually doesn't like to read "Shukan Bunshun". She prefers magazines like "Weekly Women" or "Women SEVEN" that understand the inner feelings of housewives. However, when it comes to making big news, it is "Shukan Bunshun".
Different magazines write gossip in different ways.
Magazines aimed at housewives are fond of all kinds of vivid short compositions, so detailed that they seem to have bugs stuck on the soles of the parties involved, and even the dialogues are compiled and given away. Magazines targeted at men and for entertainment are good at fabricating various stories.
It is a kind of sensual little composition, and the authenticity of the content is the least important. Anyway, people who read this kind of magazine will not really pay attention to the gossip in it.
And "Weekly Bunshun", a magazine with the largest circulation in Japan, covering everything from politics to finance to the entertainment world, and covering all kinds of scandals, the way of writing is also different from the frivolousness of other weekly magazines.
On what day of the month, when and where, something happened, mixed with the testimonies of witness A and person B, and then added some past events that can be found with a little research to increase credibility. It is quite readable.
To be rigorous.
Likewise, its readership is divided between men and women, and is spread across all ages, middle-aged and young people. It is an absolute national weekly. Each issue has a circulation of 700,000 to 800,000 copies, and when breaking news breaks, it easily breaks through one million copies. It can be said that
It’s a must-have for every household. It’s on the headlines, so you don’t have to worry about it being known to everyone.
Mrs. Suzuki put the magazines she bought into her bag to avoid being seen holding a weekly magazine in her hand as an elderly lady. That would be rude. When she got home, she opened the magazine and found what she wanted to read.
That page.
The bold headline is "Secret meeting! Akina Nakamori is dating GENZO President Shinichi Iwahashi", and the subtitle is "A romance that the agency also fully supports...The agreement between Kenichiro-san and Iwahashi-san".
In addition, there are two thin subtitles. One is "The mood of Kikuchi Momoko-san who wants to get close but can't..."
The other is "The idea behind Iwahashi-san and the female president, Mrs. W."
Mrs. Suzuki looked at the front page and couldn't react for a moment. What is Kenichiro-san? What's going on with Mr. W.? She knew about the scandal between Momoko Kikuchi and Iwahashi-kun, but at that time she only said "
"Rapidly approaching", no communication, what can be written on this?
Just reading the title made her have questions in her mind.
Obviously she wanted to read the report on the relationship between Akina-chan and Iwahashi-kun... Her eyes fell on the first line of the report.
"The unprecedented music festival held in major cities across the country, centered on Tokyo's Wangan Plaza, ended successfully last Sunday. The reason why this grand music festival can be successfully held is that man - GENZO
President Shinichi Iwahashi plays a vital role in this."
Of course. Monday's newspaper also praised Iwahashi-kun for his actions. Mrs. Suzuki thought.
She continued reading.
"About half a month before the start of the music festival, Iwahashi-san's name also appeared in the public eye. He served as the producer of singer Akina Nakamori's upcoming new album, and this news was widely advertised
"It was also during the same period that our reporter learned that the two were dating."
On the inside page of the magazine, there is a photo of Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori appearing in the same frame. Look at the small introduction below the photo. This photo was taken at night in Shonan.
In the picture, Nakamori Akina is slightly disguised, and Iwahashi Shinichi is different from the formal image seen on TV. The clothes are quite casual. Dressed in this way, the atmosphere around the person is also a lot more relaxed.
The two kept a little distance, but Shinichi Iwahashi, who was walking in front, turned his head slightly, apparently talking to Akina Nakamori.
Looking at it this way, it seems like a good match. Mrs. Suzuki looked at the photo carefully.
She continued reading. Perhaps because the subjects of the report were all people she was interested in, she read the report with gusto.
The next paragraph introduces the background of the relationship between the two people.
"Last October, Iwahashi-san took the lead in producing a large-scale project that mobilized half of the industry. Akina-san, as one of the invited members, collaborated with the band ORIGINAL LOVE on the single "Kiss". The project was ultimately a great success, and as the president
As a producer, Iwahashi-san not only gained fame and fortune, but during the production of the single, his relationship with Akina-san also quickly got closer..."
After seeing the photos in the same frame, it was obvious that the relationship was not false. Mrs. Suzuki read the report with great interest, reading the inside story and tidbits of that cooperation that she was unaware of.
When I read, "According to an insider, the record company's contact person A revealed that during the first collaboration, the two people, Iwahashi-san who always speaks one way and Akina-san who never compromises, were at odds with each other in the recording studio, and they often quarreled because of disagreements.
But perhaps it was the quarrel that deepened our mutual understanding." Mrs. Suzuki couldn't help but smile.
It turns out that "no fight, no acquaintance". No wonder when I asked Chieko-san if she had ever heard Akina-chan talk about Iwahashi-kun, Chieko-san said she didn't know. At that time, Akina-chan probably hated Iwahashi-kun so much.
Bar.
However, looking further down, the smile on Mrs. Suzuki's face suddenly solidified.
She straightened up and changed from reading the contents of the magazine casually to absorbing the text seriously and quickly. While reading, she sometimes frowned and sometimes felt incredible.
Mrs. Suzuki closed "Weekly Bunshun" and found it hard to calm down and even harder to accept it.
