In the 1960s, there was a conflict between Watanabe Production and NTV. Watanabe Shin once threatened that Watanabe Production's artists would no longer appear in NTV programs in the future.

At that time, Watanabe's production was at its peak and was the number one force in the art world. This harsh statement was very important.

Of course, we all know the ending. Feng Shui takes turns. With the broadcast of "Star! Birth", the "Watanabe Surrounding Net" in the artistic world was formed, and the hegemony of Watanabe production began to collapse.

Everyone in the industry knows this old calendar. Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly mentioned this matter again. Wanyumi Watanabe was a little confused. He was the agent of Watanabe production, so this kind of thing was naturally very clear.

After reacting for a while, he replied: "In the early years, I had already settled with NTV and continued to perform."

Of course, by the time of reconciliation with NTV, Watanabe Production had lost the confidence to make harsh words in the past, and it was difficult for it to have intimate cooperation with NTV.

There was once such a struggle, and the most important thing was that Watanabe Production had no good cards as good as before.

"I remember that TBS TV station had a ban on the Kitten Club before." Shinichi Iwahashi's topic jumped to this point again.

"This is the case." Watanabe Manyumi nodded, knowing it.

In 1986, when the Kitten Club became popular, the first single in the 52 weeks of the year was the terrifying result of the thirty-eight weeks of the credibility chart.

However, on the one hand, it dominated the credibility list, and on the other hand, it was repeatedly defeated by the ace sound anime "thebestten" of TBS TV.

According to the ranking calculation method of "thebestten", physical sales account for only 60% of the points. Although the sales of the Kitten Club is strong, its performance in on-demand radio and fan submissions is not very good.

Although the Kitten Club won the first place in the credibility list, the sales trend of the entire combination and the team were surprisingly consistent. The sales exploded in the week of release, and it started to plunge in a row in the second week.

The problem reflected by such sales trends is obvious. This means that the group relies on loyal fans to support sales and has no popularity. Fans will crazily move boxes or even buy them in multiple ways in the week of release for the good sales. However, passers-by have no interest in their records and will not spend money on them. Therefore, after consuming fans, the selling will disappear.

Deadly fans can give their idols the first place in the credibility list in the first week, but they cannot keep their idols in the first place. If they are not popular enough, the data on radio on demand and fan submissions will not be good.

After several aspects, a strange scene appeared from time to time on "Thebestten". The Kitten Club and its derivative combination. In the first week of the single release, although it was the first credibility list, it did not win the first place in "Thebestten".

And by the second week, a big plunge came directly, and there was no counterattack at all.

The fundamental reason for the defeat in "thebestten" is that the popularity structure of the Kitten Club is not healthy enough. However, the Kitten Club believes that this is a tbs TV station and deliberately prevents the Kitten Club produced by Fuji TV from winning the first place.

At the end of the matter, the Kitten Club was on the blacklist of TBS TV because it refused to star in "Thebestten" and disappeared on TBS TV's program for a long time.

Although the entire ban period is only a few months, it is indeed a long period of time when the Kitten Club survives. It was not until Kawahiko, one of the core members of the group, decided to star in "Thebestten", that the two sides announced a settlement.

The reconciliation was also quite dramatic. Kawai Yuanko was determined to play, and Fuji TV tried every means to stop her from appearing. On the day of the live broadcast, Kawai Yuanko went to TBS TV. Fuji TV even sent a car to hit Kawai Yuanko's car, and the two sides staged a street speed drama.

In the end, Kawahiko Sonoko successfully escaped from Fuji TV's siege and came to the backstage of "thebestten" before the live broadcast began. At this point, the war (farce) finally came to an end.

"There is no eternal enemy."

Wanyumi Watanabe knew it in her mind and said that Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly mentioned Watanabe production and the reason why he mentioned the kitten club.

"Yes, there is no eternal enemy. This is true for the firm and the TV station, and the same is true for the firm and the firm."

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Gohiromi and Johnny are now on the same stage. We and Amuse are partners in the band Heaven and are rivals in the Red and White Song Club. By the next time, we may have a new connection."

"In the art world, the identity of the 'enemy' is always changing, so the identity of the enemy is not that important."

Friends of today are the enemy of tomorrow, and enemies of today are the friends of tomorrow. In this constantly changing art world, it doesn’t matter who the enemy is, because everyone is already an opponent and a potential partner.

"That's what it means." Watanabe Manyumi did not breathe a sigh of relief because of his words.

She knew in her heart that Shinichi Iwahashi felt that there was no eternal enemy, and that defense was likely to be useless against enemies in the art world. Only soldiers could block the water and soil, so he did not care about the identity of the enemy.

"The enemy's identity may not be favored, but the enemy's goal is very important."

Shinichi Iwahashi's optimism makes sense, but Manyumi Watanabe's worries are not asking for trouble. In her opinion, the identity of the enemy and the goals of the enemy determine how she will adjust next.

"You're right." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "But if you want to know who the enemy is and who is targeting... whether it is a band of the Heavenly Kingdom or 'we', it will be clear soon after you leave it to time."

He said "we", which means he knew that he understood what her worries were, and then Manyumi Watanabe felt a little more comfortable.

"Anyway, put this hand aside first." Shinichi Iwahashi rushed to Watanabe Manyumi with a smile, "Next, let's deal with the Red and White Song Club beautifully."

Watanabe Manyumi cooperated, "Then I'm looking forward to it."

"Don't just expect it, be prepared if it's more practical." Shinichi Iwahashi sensed that she was unhappy about the secret enemy, so he deliberately joked with her and made a gesture of raising his glass, "There are also wines for celebration."

Wanyumi Watanabe smiled and said, "Okay, even the wide-mouth glass is ready together... and the handshake is also there."

Yes, if you want to hold this hand, you can only maintain your fighting spirit forever.

Shinichi Iwahashi thought, and looked at his watch, "I want to go to the recording studio to see Zard. How about you going together? You can just listen to your opinions."

During the preparation period for Zard's debut, Watanabe Manyumi rarely appears.

This is not abnormal. The band's agent has a date with Star Firm, which has nothing to do with U-miz. On the record company, Shinichi Iwahashi is the chief producer, and she has no reason to always show up.

Even so, Shinichi Iwahashi still wanted to hear from her.

Wanyumi Watanabe confirmed the itinerary in her mind, "Okay. However, I am an amateur in music production. If I want to give my advice, I can't say anything."

"The greatest affirmation for laymen to say 'good'." Shinichi Iwahashi is not telling jokes. Most of the audiences of pop bands are laymen who can't express any opinions.

The distance from u-miz to the recording studio was not far. The two of them didn't take the bus, so they just walked there and chatted on the way.

Compared to Zard in the studio ahead, Manyumi Watanabe cares more about dreamsetru's new album.

"This time I sang the decisive song. In terms of the song selection, try to be more catchy." After the plan was invented, Shinichi Iwahashi slowly added details to it.

"Be careful and avoid the suspicion of cursing to death." Watanabe Manyumi continued.

"That's right..." She said this, and Shinichi Iwahashi remembered again, "The entire publicity plan is connected. Now the situation of the locust is not good, so we still have to leave a plan to deal with the national funeral."

I don’t know when the locust will be braided. If the money is spent on advertising, it just happens to meet the national funeral and is taken advantage of to make use of the issue again, the plan will be messed up again.

When you catch up with this time, there is nothing you can do except leave yourself to deal with in advance.

"There is also Zard's debut." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "I was selected as an advertising song before, and the effect was very good. This time I wanted to give Zard's debut song to advertisers first."

"But now, I've changed my mind," he said. "It's better to try sending it to the TV production bureau than to send it to the advertiser."

"TV series?" Wanyumi Watanabe understood as soon as she heard it.

Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "Mr. Akimoto told me before that Kameyama Sang of Fuji TV is now responsible for the production of the TV series. After that, he sent Zard's audition belt to him for listening."

...

"Yumiko, this is the studio."

After greeting the staff, Yukiko Puchi said hello and then turned around and introduced him to Yumiko Puchi who was following behind him and greeting everyone.

"I sing on that glass wall on the other side of the wall." Kuchi Yukiko told her.

These days, my sister Yumiko Kasui has come to Tokyo to play with her sister. After obtaining the consent of the staff and teammates, Yukiko Kasui brought her sister to the recording studio where she works.

Yumiko Kuchi listened to her introduction and looked at everything in the recording studio with incredible eyes. Is this the recording studio?

My sister works in such a place... She thought to herself.

In theory, it was a bit rude to tell my sister that she wanted to visit the recording studio where she worked. With Yumiko Kamichi's personality, she also made a lot of determination to make such a request.

I want to see my sister’s workplace because of curiosity, and at the same time, I also have care for my sister.

When my sister was working as a fan-leader in a real estate company, Yumiko Kuchi would not want to visit a real estate company. For ordinary people, the art world, recording studios, singers, and these things are very far away.

Especially, before signing a contract to become a singer, my sister also worked as a photo shoot model.

Yumiko Kuchi does not underestimate her sister's choice. On the contrary, the sisters of a mother and her compatriots know her own sister's personality well, so she knows how courage it takes to be a photo model.

When my sister came home that day and told her father and mother that she and her brother had signed a record company and would debut as the band's lead singer, Yumiko Pu Chi heard that her sister's wish had finally come true and almost cried for her.

Knowing how courage my sister used to quit her job as a photo model, I let Puchi Yumiko be curious about the record company she signed with, about her sister's working environment, and all of this.

This kind of curiosity was not caused by the artistic world being too far away from her, but a kind of care for her sister.

I wondered where she works, whether she was happy or not, was her dream really coming true... Yumiko Puchi was so willful with such an idea and suggested to Yukiko Puchi to come and visit.

Her sister Yukiko Kazui, who grew up under the same roof, could also guess her thoughts.

Before he officially debuted, he brought his family to the recording studio to visit. I don’t know if this would make the three teammates unhappy. However, Yumiko Kazui suggested that Yukiko Kazui would not refuse.

It’s not that I can’t refuse Yumiko Kuchi, but through my sister’s request, I remembered my father and mother at home.

Yumiko Puchi came to the recording studio to visit, and after that, she would definitely pass on everything she saw to her parents and younger brother. Let her family know that she is indeed doing a dream job, so that her father and mother can feel at ease...

When Kuchi Yuki thought of this, he went to discuss with the staff and his teammates, and wanted to take his sister to the recording studio for a visit.

She is usually very introverted, not the kind of girl who wants to tell the world if she has something to do. She suddenly mentioned it and wanted to bring her sister to visit, which surprised the staff and teammates.

However, it is precisely because she is the kind of restrained person that everyone is particularly tolerant of her occasional small requests and has no objection.

"Pu Chisang, it's time to start."

At this time, the recording engineer asked Yukiko Kasui to start recording. It was polite to obtain the consent of his teammates in advance. In fact, only Yukiko Kasui recorded in the recording studio today.

At this time, two Pu Chi Sang in the recording studio opened their mouths. Yumiko subconsciously straightened her waist and looked at her sister who said "Yes, Pu Chi Sang" quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yumiko Kuchi is an absolute layman. She doesn't know how well the equipment in this recording studio is. She only feels that the sofa sitting on is very comfortable, probably a high-end product.

Kusui Yukiko followed O and communicated for a while, then told her sister, "I'm going to start recording."

"Come on, sister." Yumiko Kasui cheered her up.

Yukiko Kuchi smiled at her sister. Yumiko Kuchi watched her sister walk into the recording room, and through the glass wall, she saw her confirming the music score on the score stand and put on her headphones.

Then, he gestured to Yumiko Kasui on the side of the wall with a thumbs-up gesture.

Yumiko Kuchi looked at her sister's cheerful expression and smiled. Then, just in front of her, her sister walked to the glass wall and pulled up the curtains.
