045, who doesn't know that you are a creative genius, Naoshu-sang!
Nagayama Naoki occasionally hears young people talking about cats on the street, discussing which one they like best, and discussing the shining points of cats.
There is also a lot of discussion about cat ear hair accessories.
"But speaking of cats, that cat ear hair accessory is very interesting!"
"Yeah, I don't know where I can buy it."
"I heard that you can only get it through the TV station's lottery. It seems that there are only a limited number of 1,000 copies."
"Actually, there are only more than 900 copies. The first 100 copies have been taken away by relevant personnel in advance~"
"Really? Did the Cats wear No. 5 during their performance?"
"No, during the last interview, it seemed that the front desk manager Ohno Miterina only had a serial number of 003."
"So the first two must have been taken away by the producer. How can we fix them? Damn capitalists..."
"You can't say that. After all, they are the fathers of cat ears. Without them, how could we see such cute creations~"
The first two, those two samples, have of course been given to Nakamori Akina and Nakamori Akiho by Naoki Nagayama. Are they "designers" after all?
As for Nagayama Naoki, he just framed the original design and put it on the bookshelf. Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi also took one of the first ten as a souvenir.
The first 1,000 other customized cat ear hair accessories will be drawn from fan letters sent in. About half of them have been sent out as prizes so far.
After the first 1,000 numbers have been issued, subsequent cat ear hair accessories will no longer have serial numbers.
...
...
As Cats became more and more famous, it made some waves in the television industry, and the ripples spread slightly to the entertainment industry.
After gaining fame, of course cooperation will continue.
Fangcun Otomo has become busy again recently. Announcements for various programs, large and small, are coming out one after another, and he is required to handle them one by one. If it weren't for the two helpers brought in from the office, it would be too busy.
Itou Shuichi did not continue to participate in the subsequent choreography, but hired a special dance teacher, and let the professional people do the professional things. As a producer, he will focus on creating the overall image, shooting promotional MVs, and contacting
Lyrics, music, record production, etc.
What about Naoki Nagayama?
He bought a piano...
Yes, I just put it in Wen Jing’s house and play it for a long time when I have free time.
He had never discovered it before, but after learning music theory and playing the piano, Naoki Nagayama discovered the charm of music.
One's own music is the purest thing, without other impurities and falsehoods.
Just like a confidant who understands us best, he can express all the emotions in his heart.
When playing the piano, even if there is no music score, you can play it at will according to the thoughts in your mind. If you accidentally meet the melody in your memory, a beautiful piano sound will be produced.
Teacher Yukiko Tokunaga was also surprised at Naoki Nagayama's progress from being a first-year student to now being able to play music properly. During the last few classes, she even said that if he studied since he was a child, he might be able to become a pianist.
Besides practicing piano at home, I just continue to enjoy a decadent life.
"Naoki-san, why don't you come to the studio and have a look~!" But Shuichi Itou called at this time, "After all, he is also the man who is called the father of cat ears, how can he leave his own girl group alone!"
Nagayama Naoki is also very helpless. The girl group has entered the formal stage, and she doesn't know what to do now, so she looks very redundant at the scene.
"Xiu Yi-san, I feel like I have nothing to do when I'm in the studio... By the way, the studio no longer shoots commercials?" said the master at changing the subject.
"This business is gone for the time being. We plan to change the studio into the base of the girl group and later become GG's office."
"What will happen to Shuichi-san's studio in this case?"
Shuichi Itou seems to be planning to change careers completely.
"At worst, I'll change it back again~"
...
With the brand of being the father of cat ears, Naoki Nagayama certainly cannot do nothing.
I drove to Shogo Processing and found the factory manager Tsuchida Masago who was busy.
"Zhengwu-kun, I'm disturbing you again."
But Tsuchida Masago was very surprised: "Naoki-kun, why are you here today? Is there something wrong with the cat ear hair accessories before?"
"Haha, no," Nagayama Naoki laughed, "It's a good thing, Director Zhengwu. We plan to continue customizing cat ear hair accessories. It's an order~"
"Is this like this?!" Tsuchida Masago was very happy. The previous 1,000 hair accessories could only be regarded as extras. If we continue to customize them this time, the order may be a big one.
"Yes, Zhengwu-kun, do you remember what you said before? In addition to black and white, cat ear hair accessories can also come in red, yellow, gray, floral colors, etc."
"Remember, what is the quantity of this order?"
"Let's get 10,000 first. Then if the sales are good, we will increase the quantity." Nagayama Naoki directly doubled the number tenfold.
This was a big order for a small workshop. Masago Tsuchida poured a cup of tea diligently, then quickly made the contract and signed it.
Naoki Nagayama happily paid the deposit and agreed to pick up the goods once a week.
For the time being, the store in Shibuya will be used as a stocking location, but if the sales are good, you can actually open a peripheral store directly~
...
...
Cats is developing very well. In addition to the famous Cat Dance, the new choreographer also choreographed a dance with a particularly strong rhythm based on the characteristics of the Wild Cats troupe.
Paired with the exciting dance music, Naoki Nagayama saw a bit of the shadow of later Korean girl groups.
"Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, this kind of dance is actually most suitable offline." Nagayama Naoki looked at the two people next to him. If he was in the announcement for a long time, the audience might get tired of it.
"Would you like to organize an offline meeting?"
Itou Shuichi said: "But just two dances cannot support a concert."
"Of course it's not that kind of large-scale concert. It's very difficult for the Cats to hold a concert in a stadium like those kingly idols. After all, they have no works and no fans."
"Are you talking about a record? Indeed, I contacted several lyricists and composers before, but none of them could create a song for the girl group." Otomo Yoshimura looked at Naoki Nagayama expectantly, "Can Naoki-san write one?"
"Uh... Otomo-san, didn't you say that my creation is an apocalypse? It's not something you can just think of!"
"Who doesn't know Naoki-san that you are a creative genius!" Otomo Yoshimura went to Naoki Nagayama's house in Bunkyo District to pick him up several times. Sometimes he met him playing the piano and heard many excellent music clips.
But it’s hard to say anything more now.
"Otomo-san, I'm thinking, Cats can't follow the old path, why not try it and start on the underground stage?"
"You mean like those underground bands?"
"Hey, let's first accumulate fans and popularity, and then get in touch with the team. I hope I can have more songs before I try to hold a concert or something like that."
For the Wildcats, they suddenly became famous, but their fan base and the capabilities of the gg office behind them are actually not enough. If they continue to push hard, they will probably lose their attention and fall back to the bottom.
Naoki Nagayama suddenly had an idea: "You can also hold a meet-and-greet in my disco ballroom!"
Isn’t it interesting how disco and girl groups meet?
