As soon as eleven o'clock came, it seemed like the time was set in advance, and the store door was opened, and four or five young people rushed in.

The store was not big, and so many people came in all at once, and it was quite disturbing. While Shin Iwahashi looked over, the young people who came also noticed him, walked towards him, and surrounded him.

Judging from this attitude, the boss at the bar put down the towel in his hand and made a preparation to get out to stop him at any time. The young waitress was in a dilemma and hesitated on the spot. The result-

"Let you wait for a long time." The leading young man bowed and greeted him politely.

The boss picked up the towel again, and the waitress breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face again.

"It doesn't matter."

Shinichi Iwahashi pointed to the cup in front of him, "I just came here."

The coffee in the cup was only about one-third of the time. The leading young man lowered his eyes and looked at it, and the expression on his face calmed down.

The people who were designated to meet here are these young people.

After taking off the heavy makeup from his face, his clothes changed to the style of an ordinary college student. Looking at this, these young people were ordinary, and walking on the streets of Osaka, they could easily find a bunch of similar things.

These young people were the band called "She Ran Q" that I met with Watanabe Manyumi in Osaka Castle Park last time.

"My name is Mitsuo Terada, and he is the lead singer in the band." The leading young man introduced himself first.

He started, and the other four young people also introduced it in turn, this one was Katsuyama, that one was Matsui, this one was Horiuchi, and the last one was Katsuka... This one was very strange.

...

We made an appointment to meet at noon, and Shinichi Iwahashi invited these young people to dinner.

The location was chosen by them. Shinichi Iwahashi was very unfamiliar with Osaka, so he followed their arrangements.

After giving the business card in Osaka Castle Park, the band did not contact Shinichi Iwahashi immediately, and it took almost two weeks to call him.

The person in charge of contacting him was the young man Ta Mitsuo who was leading the way.

The band seemed quite cautious when they received the business card of the record company leader, but they were not overjoyed and couldn't wait to find out about genzo and Shinichi Iwahashi first.

After inquiring, I also called. From this point of view, Shinichi Iwahashi passed the band's "first test".

Both sides were eating and chatting.

After learning more about it, Shinichi Iwahashi learned that the five members of this band were all students of Kinki University.

Originally, these five people belonged to three different bands. Later, because they were about to enter the last school year, all members of the three campus bands withdrew from the band and prepared to take office. The rest of them still wanted to continue working in the band, so they got together again to form the current band.

And the somewhat inexplicable band name "Shutterq" (Shutterq), is made up of the original three band names - Shutters, Luan, and Qp - their respective lyrics.

It's a little strange, but it still has meaning.

"So, are you planning to target professional musicians?" asked Shinichi Iwahashi.

The reply was a young man named Katsuyama, who worked as a guitarist in the band. "That's the plan for the time being. First, it's two years. If you have the opportunity to debut, then continue to do it, otherwise you will go back to be an office worker."

The young man named Mitsuo Terada had been in charge of communication before, but when it came to this issue, it was replaced by Katsuyama. Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but look at Terada, but in the end, he saw a trace of wanting to speak but stopped.

"So," Shin-yama turned to the topic, "we wanted to know how Iwahashi-san sees us."

His tone and expression were filled with a hint of expectation, "To be honest, I received a scout's business card when I was performing in Chengtian. This kind of thing has always been heard from others as a legend. I didn't expect that we would have such a day."

"And," Mitsuo Terada, who was silent just now, spoke again. These Kansai youths all had a strong Kansai accent as soon as they spoke. "To be honest, isn't our performance in Chae-Tian like a joke?"

This is honest enough.

But on the other hand, I was also asking Shinichi Iwahashi, what could be seen by him as a professional producer and specially handed over the business card.

Although they called him and made an appointment to meet this time, they were not blinded and knew how much they were.

"Indeed, the performance is not very good." Shinichi Iwahashi was not polite.

"At the current level, signing a contract is definitely not possible. To be honest, even if you perform in a livehouse, you will be booed." He said while examining the reactions of these young people.

After being criticized in person in person, these young people did not show any unhappiness at all, and looked like they accepted it completely. They were so calm that they were almost "alternative".

"But there are advantages," he conveyed to them again what he had summarized with Watanabe Manyumi, "First of all, it is to insist on originality, and secondly, it is to be very conscious of being a gorgeous rock. Moreover, the voice of the lead singer Terada-kun is very recognizable."

For record companies, "showing a wide net" is a must. Therefore, it is not until you find an excellent new talent to take action, but whenever you see a little possibility, you must take action first.

"There is a 'possibility' which is very important for newbies who have not debuted," he said.

After listening to his words carefully, the five young men exchanged glances with each other. This time, the young man named Teda spoke, "So, what are you planning?"

"I am in Osaka and am preparing to open a livehouse. At that time, I would like to invite you to perform too." Shinichi Iwahashi's reply was a bit far from what he planned to debut after receiving the scout's business card.

However, they knew how good the band was, and they knew they were still far from their debut.

Therefore, it was expected to get such an answer. However, when I got such an answer, several people, especially Mitsuo Terada, still looked like they wanted to say something but stopped.

Seeing this, Shinichi Iwahashi stopped what he wanted to say and asked: "Is there any problem? Just say whatever you want."

"It's a problem with Terada-kun." It's still Kazuyama who was responsible for speaking. "In fact, Terada-kun received the contract from the local credit vault and was hesitating whether to take up a job or give up the job first."

So, Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it and understood why when he talked about the band's future plans just now, Mitsuo Terada, who was originally in charge of speaking, became silent.

However, he solved a doubt and gave him a new doubt.

There are five people in a band and four people are about to give up their jobs, obviously they have to work together for two years. But the band's lead singer is a "time bomb" who is not sure whether to be an office worker.

If you are not careful, the lead singer will run away and the band will stop directly. I personally led the abnormal who ran away one after another, and Shinichi Iwahashi had a particularly profound experience of this.

For a band, the most important lead singer is between quitting and not quitting, this state is very dangerous.

Under such circumstances, the four young men were so eager to continue to form a team?

"Actually," this time, Mitsuo Geda finally spoke, "No matter how you view our band, what do you plan to do..." He showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I want to ask you for something."

"Let's talk about it," said Shinichi Iwahashi.

"That's right. I personally hope to work with them for two years and then decide whether to go to work formally. However, my parents at home think we won't have any prospects and hope I will go to work."

"So," this time, I changed to Katsuyama, "I want to ask you to help meet Terada's parents and help convince them that Terada's two can temporarily suspend their employment."

"You are the producer of this band zard, right?" said Mitsuo Terada.

Shin Iwahashi nodded, "Yes."

"I have been talking about zard recently in Osaka, because my parents also like zard..."

After careful calculation, the time when the band called Shinichi Iwahashi was the time when Yuejiu was on the air and Zard's publicity in Kansai was rolling out.

The reason why Sho Lunq called him was probably because he saw Zard and saw hope. To be honest, it could be said that Zard urged Sho Lunq to Shinichi Iwahashi.

In a sense, seeing the scrambler Q made Shinichi Iwahashi feel a little bit of Zard's popularity.

When these young people contacted Shinichi Iwahashi, they made up their own plans.

If I really signed it by Shinichi Iwahashi, then I would have a formal identity and things would naturally be resolved. Even if it didn't, it would be considered as a way to stabilize Minoto Teda's parents by using Shinichi Iwahashi's light.

Even these young people came to see Shinichi Iwahashi, and their real purpose was to make him become a lobbyist.

No wonder, no matter how Shinichi Iwahashi criticized them just now, these young people looked like they were obedient. It turned out that they had been thinking about it in their minds and wanted to use him.

The cunning of Osaka people, Iwahashi Shinichi, let me experience it in such a place.

The more Mitsuo Terada said, the more embarrassed he felt, "It's a bit difficult for you to ask for such a request... But if you can get the affirmation of the producer Zard, I think my parents will be able to let go of my job."

Please ask Shinichi Iwahashi to set up a cunning little abacus in advance, this is them. However, they were ashamed of making such a request.

But the contradiction between cunning and shame is their persistence in working as a band.

However, whether it is dreaming or persistence.

Shinichi Iwahashi thought for a moment, "First of all, I want to say that, judging from your current level, even if the band is full-time for two years, they may not be able to make it out at all, and they will end up with disbandment."

"Yes." Terada Mitsuo lowered her head.

Maybe in the end, it will just waste two years of time in vain and waste the good opportunity to take up your job now.

"If you can take you out immediately, it would be another story... In this situation, it would be too arrogant to just endorse your parents."

Dreams and persistence are not based on hypocrisy.

The five young men opposite changed a little bit.

Shinichi Iwahashi was slow, "Now, let me continue talking about the topic just now, is it okay?"

A few young people didn't say anything, so he pretended to be accustomed, "That's right, after the livehouse in Osaka is opened, I want to invite you to perform. The livehouse will be opened in Tokyo and Osaka. If you are interested in Tokyo, I hope to invite you to regularly exchange performances in Tokyo's livehouse and communicate with the musicians there."

Exchange performance.

After the livehouses in the two places were opened, Shinichi Iwahashi's plan would regularly exchange performances, allowing the musicians from Kanto and Kansai to perform on each other's territory.

On the one hand, Tokyo is the absolute center, and singers discovered in Osaka will definitely go to Tokyo to develop in the future. On the other hand, the Kansai market is not small, and he is ready to seize the most basic points from the beginning.

"In addition, I hope you can bring new songs to me every time." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "If it reaches the level of my opinion that I can debut within these two years, I will arrange for you to make an official debut."

Of course, there is no reason to cultivate new people in vain. If there is no contract, the Midway Band will be signed away by other companies, and this kind of thing that can be done for others to wear a wedding dress.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi signed with them not in the name of a record company, but in the name of a production company.

After signing the contract, they became employees of the production company like Seiichiro Kurirabayashi.

Of course, the treatment is completely different from Seiichiro Kurirabayashi.

There is a basic salary but very little, and the monthly salary in the first year is only 60,000 yen. The song production company has the right to buy first. The basic salary for a performance in a livehouse is that five people will receive 2,000 yen in total, but if more than one hundred audiences enter the venue on that day, they will participate in the box office share.
To be continued...
