These female singers who have already debuted, whether they are popular in the industry or not, are all "checked out", and screening can be considered a good start. In contrast, the focus of efforts is still in the underground music circle.
Inviting outstanding singers from the underground music circle to perform is not only the original intention of the music festival, but now it has also become Watanabe Production's guarantee for the record companies that cooperate.
Iwahashi Shinichi, the darling of the women's rock circle and a friend of women, worked hard for the music festival business and returned to the underground music circle again.
After joining Watanabe Productions, he was basically in a state of being semi-out of the underground. At this time, he went back to discover new talents, which felt quite unpredictable in life.
In order to leave a way out for himself, he did not leave the underground completely. Who would have thought that this choice would actually make it easier for him to return to the underground music circle to find musicians to collaborate with.
The clubs where he has performed, the people in charge who have dealt with him, and Minedama and his colleagues who are still selling excellent products. These people who either met by chance or had a deep connection with him have now come into play again.
their role.
Musicians who are emerging in the underground music circle often have their own fan base, which may not be big, but it is definitely very strong. Therefore, making a big fanfare in the underground music circle to recruit participating singers can also advertise the music festival.
Shinichi Iwahashi is good at leveraging his own strength. This can be proven by the two projects he has proposed since he joined the company, and this time is no exception.
The popularity of teenagers is the weathervane. In addition to clubs, Shin Iwahashi set his sights on Harajuku's Walker's Paradise. Nowadays, a large number of amateur bands gather here. On weekends, every step of the way, it is a complete "Band Paradise".
He wandered around the weekend stroller's paradise, looking for suitable talents, and found that even in this place where amateur bands gathered, it was still a male rock world.
Or to put it conversely, the reason why the mainstream music world is dominated by male rock is because men are also active in the underground world as a reserve army.
It is not easy to find a female singer or band with some strength and charisma.
It can be seen from this that female rock music is indeed in a disadvantaged position.
The performance lineup that can be assembled now does not lack strength, but lacks popularity and topicality. But even so, this lineup is based on the premise that it has been liberalized. It does not only invite all-female bands and female rock singers, but also invites
Nokko, a female-centered mixed-gender band, was formed after the female lead singer, otherwise it would be even more shabby.
If we were to open a "men's wild music" on the other hand, and just list out a lineup of rock stars that could be invited, the participating audience would be able to kneel down to listen to it, and they would be afraid that their knees would be inappropriate.
"Given the popularity and weight of the current lineup, it may not be able to support such a scale." At the regular meeting of the planning committee, Otsu Shusaku looked at the currently finalized list and sighed with worry.
He was a little worried about the effect of this music festival.
There is a lack of guests in this lineup who can make the finale, I’m afraid everyone here thinks so. However, female rock music is born with shortcomings. It’s not that they can’t be invited, it’s that there is no one to invite.
The lineup was worrying. Shusaku Otsu used his mature experience to put this topic aside for the time being. Instead, he worked hard on the format of the music festival and began to focus on how to expand influence and attract audiences.
Iwahashi Shinichi was prepared early and made three suggestions.
The first is to recruit part-time volunteers from students. For a music festival of this size, on the opening day, there will be almost 500 staff working around the stage, not counting others, so part-time part-time workers will definitely be recruited.
Spreading part-time opportunities at universities in the city may be a way to expand its influence among students.
There is nothing to say about this. Recruiting part-time part-time workers is a necessary step. If you can take this opportunity to advertise in the university, you will kill two birds with one stone and be approved immediately.
The second one was an idea that came to his mind when he went to Wangan Plaza for an on-site inspection as a member of the planning committee and observed the nearby terrain.
Because this area is still a large warehouse, Wangan Plaza is not blocked by high-rise buildings, and the view is very open. Therefore, Shinichi Iwahashi suggested that at night when the music festival enters its final stage, a fireworks display should be included as part of it.
There is a tradition of fireworks displays every year in Japan. The public has an extraordinary love for fireworks. If fireworks are set off after dark as a gimmick in publicity, it will definitely attract a lot of people's interest.
As for the third one, it is a concept triggered by sound volume.
When the singer performs on stage, he strives to mobilize the audience's enthusiasm. If the atmosphere is successfully heated and the audience's cheers reach the trigger point, a dazzling stage effect will be triggered. This small interactive link will increase the audience's participation.
All in all, none of the three suggestions are difficult to implement.
Iwahashi Shinichi feels that this kind of activity without a basic base has few owners and many concerns, so when making suggestions, we should try to be as feasible as possible.
Even small and inconspicuous ideas can bring good results if they are properly blended together.
He has always adhered to this since he joined the team. He completes the assigned work seriously and only makes suggestions that are practical. In addition, he never makes trouble for others by giving advice and cooperates with other people's work. This is ideal.
colleague.
In this way, even if my colleagues were wondering about his merits at first, they now feel much better about him.
Expecting a domineering boss to support you will only block your own path.
To obey the masses, bear the burden first, work steadily, worry less about small things, and don't be confused about big things. We are all adults, not primary school students who should immediately draw the 38th line and break off friendship if they have a quarrel. If this energy is used in one place, everyone can count on it.
If you trade performance and bonus for the same project, as long as you do it just right, your colleagues can at least put their prejudices under the table at work.
As for outside work, they are just colleagues, not female students holding hands and going to the toilet together, or naughty boys stealing each other's peaches.
Just love each other.
All three proposals were approved. When Otsu Shusaku looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, he had one more comment in his mind: pragmatic ideas.
After he joined the group, Otsu Shusaku looked on with cold eyes, wanting to see what it was about this young man that was worthy of Watanabe Manyumi's admiration. Looking at it, he first felt that he had a correct attitude, and then he felt that his acting style was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Now he has this added
One piece.
...and it’s not just superficial.
After the meeting, Shinichi Iwahashi walked out of the conference room and returned to his seat, still thinking about the lineup for this performance.
Things that are unresolved are the things that should be paid attention to.
I looked at the time and saw that it was fifteen minutes to four in the afternoon. I simply packed up my things, wrote "discussing about the music festival" on the check-in box, and left the office.
Agents are different from ordinary 9-to-5 office workers. There is no such rigid requirement that you have to work here. Of course, another difference from ordinary office workers is that even after off-duty time, you may not be able to get off work. get off work.
Watanabe Production is located in Shibuya. After leaving the office, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't think of where to go for a moment, so he strolled along the sidewalk.
Summer has arrived, and I started to sweat after walking for a while. Shinichi Iwahashi looked around, planning to find a place to have a cold drink.
At this time, wherever he looked, he saw a poster.
