Tetsuya Komuro invited him to be the host and entertained him for a meal. Shinichi Iwahashi thought to himself that he would take time to invite him back. Besides that, he was still a little bit confused about how this arrogant and talented man had met him.
After one meeting, I invited him to drink and have fun. What was his intention?
Although it is not strange for a musician with personality to do anything, Iwahashi Shinichi still feels in his heart that Komuro Tetsuya does not give people the impression of being a arrogant and willful musician.
Musicians who truly act straightforwardly are eternal youths like Yutaka Ozaki and Yasuyuki Okamura.
Or maybe Iwahashi Shinichi made a mistake, and Komuro Tetsuya is actually a musician with an informal personality. Or maybe he likes to make friends, and if he sees the right person, he wants to buy the other person a drink. But it is also possible that Iwahashi is
What Shen Yi was thinking about was the purpose of approaching so eagerly.
No matter which one it is, it doesn't matter to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Even if there is really some purpose, if the other party has a purpose, you will have one more opportunity.

After collaborating with Akina Nakamori on "Kiss", O-Day GINALLOVE's popularity soared. Taking advantage of the gust of wind, the band released a new album containing this collaboration song, and re-arranged and sang the collaboration song in the new album.
The album has been selling for a long time since its release at the end of last year, with cumulative sales approaching 500,000 copies. The band has become popular in one fell swoop. The talent of lead singer Tajima Takao has finally received the attention and recognition of the world. This summer, O-Day GINALLOVE is still in the Budokan
This band mecca has successfully held two concerts, and in this band era, it has firmly occupied its own territory.
After Akina Nakamori's new album entered the promotion period, the album that included "Kiss", a band she had collaborated with, also returned to the top 50 on the record list. It took more than half a year since its release.
The album was able to return to the top 50 simply because one of the songs included in it was a collaboration with Akina Nakamori, which shows the power of Topo Star.
O-Day GINALLOVE is able to achieve its current results because of the band's high production standards, so it was able to successfully seize the opportunity when it came and climb up. But it is undeniable that the opportunity to collaborate with Nakamori Akina played an indispensable role.
Nakamori Akina's new album is released and TV promotions begin. "Kiss" is the main song of the new album and is a must-sing song. Kenin discussed with Watanabe Wan Yumi and wanted to invite O'GINALLOVE to perform this song with Nakamori Akina again.
.
Over at Yanyin, the manager in charge of Akina Nakamori personally called to discuss it. The two firms were about to start cooperation, so this was the icing on the cake, so it was not difficult.
Watanabe Manyumi called O'GINALLOVE's manager and conveyed the matter to the band members.
Akina Nakamori's new album initially sold nearly 360,000 copies. Sales continued unabated and sold nearly 190,000 copies in the second week. Due to technical limitations, the record sales chart cannot be achieved.
Based on 100% statistics, Watanabe Mayumi estimates that the actual sales of this album will be a little more.
Not only is the album selling well, but the relationship between Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi has also been at the center of public discussion during this period of time. On the other hand, the better the sales of the album, the more it means that the topic will not fade away for a while.
.
"F Day" also went to follow Shinichi Iwahashi and took a picture of him taking Akina Nakamori's puppy for a walk. In the photo, Shinichi Iwahashi, who has a strong physique and always gives people a hardcore impression, was holding a petite dog.
The puppy. When the puppy is tired from walking, he will hold it in his arms.
Who would have thought that he has such a side in private? Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but smile when she recalled the photos taken in "F-Day". But after thinking about it, she felt that the reason why he showed such a side was because he
Walking Akina Nakamori’s puppy.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori participated in a TV show together, and the negative public opinion brought about by Bunharu's malicious reports was wiped out. The album sold well, and Akina Nakamori is a top female singer in the industry, and her popularity cannot be doubted by others.
This is crucial.
Because soon after, Kenyin will announce the information that Akina Nakamori will star in a TV series. As an important part of this plan, the stronger Akina Nakamori performs on this album, the more likely the subsequent official announcement will be.
Full of momentum.
Precisely because of the need for this momentum, the sales momentum of this album has become a top priority for Kenyin, Warner, as well as Shinichi Iwahashi and Watanabe Manyumi.
When Yanyin announced the information about Akina Nakamori's starring role in the TV series, the agreed three-party cooperation will also be made public. It is not without reason that Watanabe Wanyumi is willing to promote Nakamori Akina's new album.
On the other hand, after making such a big commotion, Watanabe Mayumi's band will perform with Nakamori Akina to jointly create topics and highlights, which is also showing the world that she is "W"
position.
In the same way, she is also expressing her position to BURNING.
…
During the two years that Band Heaven has been on the air, countless bands have appeared on the stage. Some have won the first round and been able to release records, and some have made their debut directly after winning the championship for five consecutive weeks. Of course, there are countless bands that have been directly eliminated.
Some of the bands that won one issue and released a single were later selected and signed to a record company. Even though the bands that won the championship for five weeks were directly given the opportunity to debut, not all of them were later
Become popular.
However, O'Day GINALLOVE, a band that was directly eliminated, has achieved the results it has today.
In the beginning, it was Shinichi Iwahashi who suggested Watanabe Manyumi to sign the eliminated O-Day GINALLOVE, and it was Shinichi Iwahashi who gave him the opportunity to collaborate with Akina Nakamori and expand the band's popularity. The noble man of the band was none other than Iwahashi.
Bridge Sang.
"Just think of it as being for Iwahashi-san, there's no harm in supporting Akina-san." Tajima Takao made the final decision.
Once they became popular, two members of O-Day GINALLOVE were a little reluctant to co-star with Akina Nakamori again. The more they borrowed the fame of Akina Nakamori, the more reluctant they are now to star with her again.
tower.
However, Tajima Takao is the backbone of the band. He spoke, but the two members who were not happy had nothing to say. Moreover, he even mentioned Iwahashi Shinichi's name.
At the beginning, the band was eliminated from the show and was ready to return to the underground, but was picked up by Shinichi Iwahashi.
Tajima Takao can understand the idea of his teammates not wanting to share the stage with Nakamori Akina anymore, probably because they don't want the audience to think that the band became popular because of the support of a well-known idol.
However, Tajima Takao does not feel disgraceful about being an assistant performer. To become popular, opportunities and abilities are indispensable. As the backbone of the band and the person responsible for creation, he understands this most deeply.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori were trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion before, but they finally escaped smoothly. Akina Nakamori's new album was also a big seller. They did not need support from anyone, but Takao Tajima felt that at this time, he should help Akina Nakamori.
At this time, after the turmoil, being able to stand on the same stage as Nakamori Akina is not only not disgraceful, but also an honor.
The relationship between the members of O-Day GINALLOVE is not close. They are basically "harmonious colleagues". Of course, there are also colleagues who get along very well with each other. For a band or combination, this kind of clear-cut public-private relationship is the best.
but.
When working, we collaborate in the recording studio. After work, we go for a drink together, and then we disperse. Everyone has their own drinking buddies.
Tajima Takao has a good relationship with X's lead singer Toshio Deyama, and he was cared for by X during the underground period of O-Day GINALLOVE. However, he was drinking buddies with X's drummer and the soul of the band, Lin Jiashu.
Lin Jiashu, who looks like a princess, was a very famous drunkard when he was still in the underground music circle. He spent money freely and drank happily. The only thing was that he would not do anything extraordinary when he was drunk.
strangeness.
Of course, at least there is no anecdote like Ryuya Ishii of Mimi C Lu B, who reported that "after being drunk, I woke up next to a man, and some indescribable part of me felt strange."
If the band
Tajima Takao, a drinking buddy, also knows a lot about Lin Jiashu's famous wine, which one he frequents. Since he is a drinking buddy, he shouldn't make special phone calls to make appointments to drink together. Instead, he goes from one store to another.
Let's have a drink together when we meet.
After a long time, Takao Tajima talked about co-starring with Akina Nakamori. He would talk to people who had taken care of him, probably because he wanted to be recognized. In particular, Takao Tajima believed that the members of
Anyone can understand.
Just as Tajima Takao agrees with X's insistence, "If you want more people to hear your music, you can't refuse to go on TV and commercialization." In the underground era of
He despises them, but Tajima Takao agrees with them. Otherwise, he would not seize the opportunity to cooperate with Nakamori Akina.
After hearing this, Lin Jiashu smiled and said, "If it's Akina Nakamori, what's wrong with sharing the stage with her?"
That is of course the best.
Tajima Takao also smiled after hearing this, "Does YOSHIKI-san also think highly of Nakamori-san?"
"Among Japanese female singers, her creativity and taste are among the best." Lin Jiashu spoke softly, and even though he was a bit drunk, he commented quite seriously.
"It's because her creativity is second to none, that's why works like that were born."
Although she neither writes lyrics nor music. However, after the songwriter provides her with the lyrics and music, she will be branded as "Akina Nakamori". Even if the same song is performed countless times by different people, it belongs to her.
That time will also give people the feeling that it is a unique song.
"Just like the song "KISS"." Lin Jiashu said. He didn't say "kiss".
Tajima Takao was curious and asked casually, "Have you heard of YOSHIKI-san?"
"A few days ago, I was driving with a girl I met, and she played that album." Lin Jiashu said rather coolly, "Although it is not a song suitable for listening to while driving, the album is well-produced..."
When he said this, he sighed slightly, "I found out later that she wanted to hear my evaluation of the album." Although the girl successfully heard what she wanted to hear, she also chose inappropriate songs while driving, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Lin Jiashu was thoroughly disappointed.
Tajima Takao laughed loudly, "That's it!"
"This album seems to be very popular among girls." Lin Jiashu said, "...the producer is still Iwahashi-kun."
When
It's an acquaintance.
"When a girl goes to buy that record, maybe she will be in the mood of buying dessert."
Lin Jiashu told a somewhat wonderful metaphor.
"Actually, there's something I'm curious about." Tajima Takao remembered it, and he simply said, "Why did Iwahashi-san choose that song when making the planned album."
In fact, Tajima Takao, the song's creator, was not the only one who was curious. Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori participated in a TV show together and after dispelling Bunharu's message, they also aroused public curiosity.
That is, that single called "Kiss", such a sticky love song, is there a story behind it?
"Of course it's because it's quite a masterpiece."
Without thinking, Lin Jiashu said with a smile, "After the music is written, the mood of the person who performs it will be in the mood to perform it, or what happened to the music... These are all things that have nothing to do with the person who wrote the music.
"
"Iwahashi-kun is a great producer, and Akina-san's taste cannot be overemphasized. It is not easy for singers from different companies to negotiate cooperation. A song that can be produced that breaks through stereotypes is of course a masterpiece.
"
The Lin Jiashu who said these words was in sharp contrast to his delicate and otherworldly appearance.
After being reminded by him, Tajima Takao realized that he had almost gotten into trouble. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "To be honest, now that I think about Iwahashi-san being able to facilitate such a plan, I feel incredible."
"That's really a great initiative." Lin Jiashu also thought so.
It can be said to be groundbreaking to be able to convince half of the industry to break the rules and produce that planned album. The success of that planned album also gave the industry a template for reference if it was different.
A template for how to start a collaboration with singers from your company.
With Shinichi Iwahashi's planned album first, there are more possibilities for subsequent singers.
"Speaking of this," Lin Jiashu smiled, "I also want to thank Mr. Iwaqiao."
Tajima Takao was confused by this meaningless sentence, "Have you and Iwahashi-san had any interactions recently?"...Could it be that X wants to cooperate with Iwahashi-san?
"Intersection can happen at any time if you think about it." Lin Jiashu replied.
Tajima Takao was not very satisfied with this answer. However, looking at this look, he did not intend to continue talking. Lin Jiashu picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into his mouth. This drinking gesture made people unable to help but look at it.
