499. Hanging Appetites
It’s a bit unworthy to spend two or three thousand yen to buy an album just for a song.
Why not release a single? When I saw the album commercial on TV, Tanjima thought so in my heart.
On New Year's Eve, Tanjima watched the Dreams e true performance and liked the song "Future Prediction Picture Ii". He thought to himself that after the New Year's Day, he went to the record store to find this single.
Unexpectedly, after the Red and White Songs ended, after midnight, I saw the advertisement for this song on TBS TV’s New Year’s Eve program.
After watching this advertisement, Tashima first reacted to it. He felt it was like the MV of the song, because the plot and the lyrics were extremely co-starred, or rather, it was filmed according to the lyrics.
After watching the advertisement, Tajima realized that this song was not a single released, but was included in an album called "Love Goes on..."
This made Tajima, who was originally planning to buy a single and listen to it, a little disappointed.
Bachelor Tajima is neither a fan of idols nor a super music fan who goes to record stores every week.
He has never bought a dreams e true album, and he doesn't know how good they are in the production of the album. To buy an album for a song, Tajima still feels it's a bit worth it.
On the evening of the New Year, while watching TV, Tajima saw this advertisement for "love goes on..." again.
The reason why it was confirmed that it was the same advertisement was because the male and female protagonists appeared in the advertisement, or the two yesterday. This time, they did not show the tacit understanding of "five strokes", and the background music of the advertisement was replaced by a new song that they had never heard of before.
In the advertising screen, on the seaside road that continues to extend forward, the male and female protagonists walk side by side. The sky darkens and the sea surface darkens. The light of the lighthouse flickers and is projected interactively on the two people.
The atmosphere is romantic, and the long seaside avenue and quiet night give the picture a sense of tranquility.
However, although the picture is quiet, the new song as the background music is different from the atmosphere of "Future Predictions Picture ii". The melody is smooth and refreshing, making people sound refreshing.
"What you and I see in our eyes are the sea reflected in the starry sky."
"Don't forget the feeling of being moved when looking up at the sky together."
The whole melody seemed to be completed in one go, both nice and memorable. While watching the advertisement and listening to the song, my mind felt like it flowed through my mind, leaving an impression of this melody.
At the end of the advertisement, as Tajima thought, the album cover and release date of "Love goes on..." reappeared.
In addition, the name of the song that is the background music today: "The Starry Sky Reflects the Sea" (the sea reflected in the Starry Sky).
Then, the screen switches, and then plays an advertisement for eye drops. Tajima reminisces about the melody just now, thinking that it is not worth spending two or three thousand yen just for one song, but if it is two songs, it would be much better.
Besides, if you can include two such good songs in the same album, can you also look forward to the quality of Dreams e true album?
The next day, Tajima walked into the record store and went to find a new album of Dreams e true.
In front of the record shelves, there are many people who come for the same goal as him. During the New Year holiday, the record store with dreams e true shelves has become one of the most lively places in the store.
...
On the second day, Shinichi Iwahashi went to greet the head of Takeda Printing Company. In the evening, Wanyumi Watanabe called to discuss the itinerary with him.
On the morning of the fifth, she flew from Sendai to Osaka, and Shinichi Iwahashi and a large team set off from Tokyo.
In Osaka, Watanabe Manumi greeted the firm that had business dealings with Watanabe Production, and at that time, they would send someone to help.
"My brother-in-law Yoshida greeted us first to the producer Igarashi of the second production department of Kansai TV. At that time, we will visit him first."
Watanabe Manyumi mentioned it and changed her mind, "The ratings of the Four Days Red and White Song Club and the feedback from TV advertisements can be transmitted to the company."
"I'm waiting to see it too." Shinichi Iwahashi replied. He is confident in the quality of the album and the promotional methods this time, but in the end he still has to look at the data.
"After watching it, I will wait for five days to have a face-to-face conversation." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "And, there are some things I want to discuss with you about the band."
“Dreams e true?”
“This is natural.”
"Is there any new plan to be done?" Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help guessing.
Shinichi Iwahashi kept it in a silence, "I'll talk about it then..." By the way, I'll joke, "For a rare New Year holiday, let's put your work aside first."
"Okay." Watanabe Manyumi agreed with a smile.
After thinking about it, I also said, "It just so happens that I have to discuss with you. I will wait until we meet in the five days."
It's okay to suck each other's appetite.
...
"I have packed my luggage, and put all the local products Iwahashi mulberry in..." On the afternoon of the third day, Yukiko Okada finally checked her luggage.
After she was sure that she hadn't forgotten to bring her things, she picked up the phone receiver and prepared to call Shinichi Iwahashi and report to him that she was about to set off.
"I'll pick you up at the station." Shinichi Iwahashi replied on the phone.
"There's another thing..."
"What?"
"Tonight, another person asked me to have supper."
Shinichi Iwahashi was also easy to talk to, "Is that so? Then I'll send you back to the apartment and I'll go back to another day..."
"No, it's not right!" Okada Yukiko quickly stopped him.
The plan to stop in front of Shinichi Iwahashi quickly stopped and went straight to the topic, "This person, Iwahashi Sang, also known Akirashi Sang, was Akirashi Sang. He originally wanted to set it tomorrow, but it was not a coincidence."
He paused and asked him, "So, can Akana Sang come here tonight?"
Shinichi Iwahashi had no objection and told her, "If Akana Sang doesn't mind, of course I'm OK."
Okada Yukiko was full of confidence, "No problem."
This tone fell into Shinichi Iwahashi's ears and found it very funny. But no matter how funny it was, he could notice that Okada Yukiko seemed to hope that he could meet Akina Nakamori.
"Huh~"
After hanging up the phone, Okada Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief.
The man from Iwahashi Sang is so smart, it is indeed a challenge to do something without hiding it. He almost led it away by the nose just now... Fortunately, he finally took the initiative back.
Okada Yukiko is quite proud of accomplishing something big.
Although it's a little early to be proud now...
After Shinichi Iwahashi got it done, she dialed out Akina Nakamori's number in the address book. On the day of the New Year, after I promised to have dinner together for three days, Okada Yukiko told her that she would contact her again on this day.
Today, Akina Nakamori is at home.
After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up.
"Akira Sang!"
Hearing this energetic voice, Akina Nakamori also felt a little excited and asked her, "Yukiko, are you going to go now?"
Chapter completed!
