969. Half and Half

Today, Dream's style is unique in the industry. Basically, if a song is written by a band, you can tell it as soon as you listen to it.

A band with an overly strong style will scare away the companies that invite them to sing.

In addition, Miwa-chan is an absolutely inspirational player who can only serve herself and cannot accommodate others.

Besides, the band has no shortage of popularity at the moment, and the current focus is to take advantage of this opportunity, which is the most inspiring and most famous, to consolidate its position and secure its throne as a national band.

Therefore, rather than providing songs to other singers, it is better to focus good inspiration on yourself. After all, there is only one band that can sell one million singles and two million albums at the same time. For

Considering many aspects, the band only writes songs for themselves and does not provide songs for other singers.

However, it's one thing not to contribute music to other singers, but it's another thing entirely to write soundtracks for games.

The absolute center of the band is Miwa-chan, and the public's gaze is also on her. But the more people in the industry, the more aware they are of the role of the two green leaves around her. As the band becomes popular, Brother Nakamura will naturally rise as well.

But on the one hand, he is limited by the rule that he will not provide songs for other singers alone. On the other hand, Nakamura also needs to hone his arrangement skills, so he does not exclude the work of soundtrack. Of course, Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog",

As an ambitious work, the other party did give me a lot.

Although the current prosperity still seems to be mired in wealth and wealth, there is a suspicion of drinking poison to quench thirst. However, since real estate as a symbol is still at an unshakable high level and the economy is still continuing, game companies that are at the peak of their careers are even more generous in taking action.

When he is not participating in band activities and making music with Miwa-chan, Nakamura-san not only takes on game soundtracks, but also takes on private work as soundtracks for TV series. He also opens his own sponsored radio station, chatting and laughing with a group of well-known musicians all day long.

As for the Giraffe Man, the real person under the hood is already the most eye-catching person in the industry right now.

The three members of the band get together when there is band work to do. When there is no work that needs to be done together, each of them has his or her own career. The reasonable sharing model ensures that there will be no conflicts due to uneven income.

Having different directions of efforts ensures that no one of them will get angry due to failure, and the relationship between the band will be stronger.

For now, Dream Color T Milk E has the strongest triangular relationship in the industry.

Nakamura has a full schedule outside of the band. When he has time, he drinks with his new musician friends at Toranomon until he is drunk. He is also funny and has a lovable appearance, which makes him popular among the hostesses.

He received good reviews and his little life was quite nourishing. At this moment, the band's executive producer made fun of him, and he couldn't help but smile a little reservedly and picked up the wine glass.

The three of them chatted with each other and continued to discuss the arrangements for the band's next album. According to the band's usual production process, they first decided on the theme and then selected the song that would serve as the title song.

The songs to be included in the album should be roughly half-and-half newly written after the inventory has been written and the theme has been decided. When holding a theme selection meeting for the new album, it is necessary to negotiate sponsorship for the band and find ways to promote the songs in the album.

When the time comes, composing music specifically for advertisers, as happened several times before, will definitely happen. Rather, for creative bands, it is common for them to write and submit their homework.

The band's philosophy is that even if the bonus B-side song is included, it cannot be used to offend the audience at will. Therefore, if a B-side song is included in a single, the B-side song will also be included in subsequent albums.

However, it is better to say that it is the band's philosophy than Miwa-chan's obsession. This little fox is also a perfectionist. Songs that she does not agree with will never be included in the album. In her opinion, every song is her own.

masterpiece.

...As a producer who needs to remain rational, of course I know this is not the case.

But even if the songs are included as b-sides, there is no doubt that they are of sufficient quality as album songs. This is why Iwahashi Shinichi did not interfere with Miwa-chan's idea and agreed to this way of recording.

If the two songs of the single can be heard on the album later, then if the title song of the single is not strong enough, it will easily affect the sales of the single since it can be heard on the album at the same time.

But on the other hand, this will boost album sales.

The sales of singles are not as good as those of albums. Since we have decided to follow this release model, in order to deal with the single sales that may be affected, we must work accordingly in other aspects. Singles and albums use different arrangements.

Songs and carefully crafted inner pages of singles are all basic operations. In addition, karaoke accompaniment must be included with the single.

"Karaoke has become a big trend, and more and more songs are being bought because they are popular in karaoke boxes," said Shinichi Iwahashi.

His Zard's goal has always been to produce pop rock songs that can be sung in karaoke. The songs can be sung in karaoke, and the lead singer Sachiko Kamaichi has gained a large number of young women's support through fashion magazines, which makes it possible, even though

The lead singer of the band is a beauty, but the band zard has a wide range of female fans.

"So, we included the single's karaoke accompaniment with the single to encourage the public to sing at karaoke."

If it can become popular in karaoke, not only will the subsequent income of the song be considerable, but it will also have a more profound impact on the public. The opportunity for children of this generation to grow up and become singers may be that they were encouraged by adults at family gatherings when they were young.

He sang "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!".

The topic of the band has come to an end. More details will have to wait until the meeting. Of course, how to find sponsorship and arrange publicity for Dream has nothing to do with music producer Shinichi Iwahashi.

That is something Sony needs to negotiate with Watanabe Manyumi and then complete it together.

In the evening, he was tipsy after drinking three or two glasses of wine, and the excitement brought about by talking loudly made the executive producer very high-spirited. He also strongly invited Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura to have dinner with him and have some entertainment after the meal.

Of course, all the bills will be credited to Sony's entertainment expenses. When it can be reimbursed, the invitation is particularly strong.



Dream's album-themed tour this year still has four shows in Tokyo waiting to start. At this time, the new album title selection meeting will be held first, and we won't be able to enter the recording studio for a while.

As for when the album will be released, it’s unlikely that two original albums will be released within one year.

All in all, it is first scheduled to release a single focusing on winter at the end of November. If there is no suitable song in the song library, it will be re-created. From production to release, the time is not too generous. Therefore, the band's

After the tour is over, I only need a short break before getting back into song production.

That's how it is when you're in your prime. You're busy all year round, especially when the band has to go on tour. However, compared to idols who sleep two or three hours a day during their prime, being a singer is more relaxed and comfortable.

.

The most important thing is that as long as there is no scandal such as having an affair or accepting a female student as your daughter, or you have committed something that requires a visit, the paparazzi will not bother to pay attention to you. Unlike idols or actors like Wakatou,

As long as there is any sign of trouble, we will immediately monitor it 24 hours a day.

After experiencing the ups and downs of dating a female star, Iwahashi Shinichi had a particularly profound understanding of this. He himself did not realize that since the public relationship, he often thought of his relationship with Nakamori Akina and the hidden meaning in it. It’s just that

Many times, I subconsciously think of her.

As soon as the topic selection meeting ended, Nakamura-san and Miwa-chan were busy preparing for the final tour, and Shinichi Iwahashi had no time to spare. All kinds of things were waiting for him to do.

In the new week, I will be recording Masataka Isumi's "Working Hard Even at Night" on Wednesday. The content of this program is relatively simple. The invited guests include singers and actors. Everyone sits together, sings karaoke, and chats.

Quite casual and relaxed.

On Friday, he will go to "Mu Private" as Shinichi Iwahashi. However, although he does not wear a hood, he will still go to be a green leaf for Nakamori Akina and sing the songs of the new album for the first time on TV.

And wait until Sunday night, the second episode of the previously recorded "Gayao Pu n Pai n House" will be broadcast as scheduled. At that time, there will also be a performance by Akina Nakamori. However, MS took advantage of the live broadcast and took the lead in pre-ordering the new album.

"Premiere".

Fortunately, the program where I meet Masataka will not be broadcast until two weeks later, so the audience will not see his face one after another within a week.

Iwahashi Shinichi used to be his own manager without a manager, so the two assistants around him took over most of the related work these days, helping to handle various trivial matters for participating in the show.

The assistant only helped with related trivial matters, such as what to wear when appearing on the show. This task was taken over by Akina Nakamori. On Wednesday afternoon, before going to NTV to record the show together, the two of them took a break from their busy schedule and ran out to go shopping.

Of course, he also followed Akina Nakamori’s manager and Shinichi Iwahashi’s assistant.

The promotion period for the new album begins with great fanfare this week, and you will be able to see the actual album in record stores in two days. At this moment, the most conspicuous and valuable advertising spots in Tokyo have been bought by Warner and Yanyin.

Give them Taopusida.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina walked side by side. Occasionally they raised their heads and saw how the people around them looked so dazzling and attracted everyone's attention. But when they lowered their heads, the person next to them was a lively, cute and warm little woman.

.

This wonderful contrast made Iwahashi Shinichi feel interesting in his heart. However, he looked interesting, but for ordinary people passing by, once they find the star on the poster in front of them, their first reaction will never be "interesting"

”.

"Akisai-chan!"

The young woman who recognized her first boldly ran over and spoke to her cautiously. After being recognized, Akina Nakamori took her time and greeted her with a smile.

After saying hello to Akina Nakamori, the young fan turned her attention to Shinichi Iwahashi next to her, showing an "I know you" expression. However, she bowed politely and cautiously, and whispered "Hello."

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't think much of this contrast, but Akina Nakamori next to him laughed secretly and found it interesting.

Although it was the afternoon of a working day, it was still in a public place after all. He was recognized and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time to avoid causing a commotion. The other party was also aware of this, and after saying hello, he left quickly.

As soon as the young female fan walked away, Akina Nakamori looked at Shinichi Iwahashi with a smile, pulled his sleeve, "Let's go~ let's go." This little pride could not be concealed, and I don't know what it was.

.

The small actions of the two people also fell into the eyes of the agent Ben and Shinichi Iwahashi's assistant who came with them.



They said they were going shopping, but after all they were not just wandering around. They had agreed to help Shinichi Iwahashi choose the clothes he would wear when attending the live broadcast of "Mu Private" on Friday. However, after all, he was the man in black behind the scenes, even if he walked to the stage

Come here, there is absolutely no way you can dress up in fancy clothes.

The king of soft rice, Shinichi Iwahashi, has received clothes or accessories from Akina Nakamori many times, but he has only gone shopping with her a few times. Therefore, even though some people often say that going shopping with a girlfriend is a thing.

Drudgery, for him now, is also an interesting, hard and happy thing.

A shopping expert, once he starts shopping, he will gradually forget what his original purpose was. From "choosing clothes for Shinichi Iwahashi to wear on Friday" to "this dress is suitable for Shinichi Iwahashi in normal times".

And now that I go out with my boyfriend, the theme of shopping will inevitably change from buying for my boyfriend to "Is this one suitable for me?"

However, in this regard, Akina Nakamori is a very worry-free girlfriend who will not make people embarrassed. Anyway, if she thinks it is good, she will buy it happily. The big book that comes with her will be signed with great proficiency.

Pay the bill, leave your address, and ask the clerk to send it back.

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate when he saw her neat and tidy look.

Nakamori Akina raised her eyelids, saw him looking at her, and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Iwahashi Shinichi blinked, deliberately teasing her, "I feel like I've seen another side of Akina-san."

When these words came out of his mouth, Akina Nakamori wanted to laugh a little, but also felt a little bit embarrassed. She explained to him seriously, "Isn't there an album-themed tour in the future? There are also costumes to be prepared during the promotion period.

…”

In short, it was because she thought about work when she was shopping, so she did some shopping. It was not because she was a woman who was extravagant and spent money lavishly.

...Don't worry. Nakamori Akina thought so and smiled naughtily.

Now that a new album has been released, a tour with the theme of the new album is also being planned. Of course, Iwahashi Shinichi knows this clearly. Even so, he couldn't help laughing when he heard the hidden meaning of her words.

He said, "Since we are going shopping, let's put work aside for a while."

Nakamori Akina said "Huh?"

Iwahashi Shinichi explained, "If you like something, let me give it to you. How about it?"
