One topic ends, and the next one is immediately followed.

Watanabe Manyumi sighed, “Is there any more?”

This situation seemed as if there was a conspiracy of internal and external cooperation in secret, and deliberately wanted to hold her back and prevent her from going back to the office.

Shinichi Iwahashi joked: "I've prepared a basket of things."

"It's so scary." She said this, but smiled at the words. She complained, but she didn't leave. She continued to listen to Shinichi Iwahashi on the way down.

I heard good news from DREAMS  COME  TRUE in advance, so that Manyumi Watanabe was not in such a hurry to go back.

Of course, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't really prepare a basket.

At the meeting just now, we also discussed the debut of BOLAN. The official debut is scheduled for June 17, and the debut press conference will be held on May 21.

According to the record company's plan this year, from late May to June is the empty production period for ZARD. BOLAN is scheduled to debut at this time, and it just so that it can free up some resources from ZARD and put them in.

It's different from ZARD, where Star Firm is behind it. BOLAN is signed at Watanabe Manyumi's Firm.

Although it is "directly-owned", after all, it is not as luxurious as possible to devote itself to a family with poor resources. It depends on hard work.

In addition, DREAMS COME TRUE's circus tour was the first one in Fukuoka on June 11th. BOLAN, who has already been scheduled to follow the band as a tour team, just so happened to get the popularity of his seniors and make a debut advertisement.

This method of first being popular and then being popular is not special. In order to promote new bands, many well-known bands will also invite them to perform warm-up performances. It is not wasteful or free.

As there are more people available at hand, more choices will follow when things are done.

The popularity that is open is the popularity, and resources can be exchanged secretly.

This trick was used when I went to Osaka to promote ZARD. This time I will continue to use DREAMS COME TRUE to participate in the program as a condition and replace publicity resources for BOLAN.

ZARD has just made a successful debut now, and it is not as good as getting resources... Just consolidate its existing popularity first. Even so, ZARD is not completely invisible in BOLAN's debut, but is making contributions in another way.

If BOLAN wants to debut, it must have its own exclusive production team. Shinichi Iwahashi continues to take charge of the overall situation and serves as the chief producer of BOLAN. Not only him, but also several people in the team responsible for ZARD also have two positions to support BOLAN.

This is because the small company lacks talent resources, but also because the team has accumulated some experience in ZARD, it is now just taking advantage of BOLAN.

However, although Shinichi Iwahashi continued to serve as the chief producer, this time he went to negotiate with Sakuma Masae's personal firm to entrust BOLAN's music production to him, and he was only responsible for taking on the chief.

Sakuma Masae is the producer of the disbanded legendary band BOOWY, an examiner of the band Heavenly Kingdom. He has a very good set of pure Japanese rock production. He is only responsible for music production and does not participate in lyrics and songwriting. In the industry, he is the quality assurance of producing rock bands.

“BOLAN and ZARD are different.”

Shinichi Iwahashi reiterated the old words he said at the meeting just now, "Compared to ZARD, BOLAN actually has the potential of an orthodox rock band, so in terms of strategies for treating BOLAN, ZARD cannot be copied."

The two bands belong to the same record company, and the production team has overlapping points. If the music producers are the same, it is easy to have the risk of "squashing" and there is a suspicion of falling from a chocolate candy assembly line.

One advantage of doing this is that listeners who are used to eating the chocolate candies produced on this assembly line will think that ZARD is good, so they will go back and buy BOLAN songs.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. The styles are too similar. Those who don’t like ZARD will never like BOLAN and cannot open up a market other than chocolate candy.

In addition, once the audience is tired of chocolate candy, ZARD and BOLAN will be abandoned at the same time - music is even more cruel than food.

There are new audiences when the chocolate is tired of being tired of it, but once the singer is unaware of being eliminated by being tired of it, he has to return to the stove to create it again.

Whether a small record company that has just started to open up the market faster with similar styles, or choose each with its own style and let Shinichi Iwahashi decide, then he would obviously choose the latter.

It’s not that the styles cannot be similar. Perhaps after ZARD becomes popular, it will launch a band of similar styles according to the ZARD model. However, bands like BOLAN, which are built as a signboard from the beginning, cannot be the same.

Especially ZARD has not become popular yet. If BOLAN is also close to ZARD's mode, it is equivalent to putting eggs into the same basket.

Since we decided to make it separately, we had to build a new product line for BOLAN.

Although the R&D personnel overlap with the chocolate candy, the boss is still the boss of the Six Chinchillas Company. The packaging box may also have the shadow of chocolate candy, but the latest flavor of crab roe broad beans contained in it.

Opening a record company is to make the public feel that the singers of this company are rich, diverse, and of high quality, so they like it very much, rather than letting the public feel that the singers of this company are coming down from the same assembly line to suit their own taste.

On the one hand, we consider the long-term development of the record company and the band, and on the other hand, we must also consider that Shinichi Iwahashi now has multiple jobs and will soon be involved in the production of the album. DREAMS COME TRUE's circus tour is on the side and not waiting for anyone.

If a person divides himself into five equal parts is not enough, he should consider letting go.

Shinichi Iwahashi felt that it would be better to try to cooperate with the outside world than to grab it by himself.

It is not easy to invite a first-class producer like Sakuma Masae.

Thanks to the production band Heaven, during the broadcast of the program, Shinichi Iwahashi was criticized for being "Iwahashi Jun outside the painting" while also establishing a deep friendship with the three examiners outside the program.

He only gave Shinichi Iwahashi a chance to negotiate, rather than being so happy that he said nothing was wrong without saying a word.

This time, Shinichi Iwahashi went to ask Sakuma Masae, and he also told him the big producer that BOLAN had participated in the band Heavenly Kingdom, and after being eliminated, he went to his production company.

Not only that, I also went to negotiate with Asahi TV station to come to BOLAN to participate in the band's Heavenly Kingdom video, and accompanied the band's current performance video, and sent two copies to Sakuma Masae.

He put his honest attitude towards ten percent.

This is to persuade Sakuma Masae to make this new band that has not debuted. Secondly, we also took this opportunity to let the big producer evaluate the potential of BOLAN.

Sakuma Masae received two videotapes he sent. After watching it, he called Shinichi Iwahashi and seriously expressed his impressions, telling him, "BOLAN is a band that is polished and shining the light the more it is."

Compared to becoming famous on TV shows, they are obviously more suitable for this way of honing themselves from a basic LIVEHOUSE performance.

"Leave the music production to Sakuma, let BOLAN make its official debut first, and then let them participate in this new project." Shinichi Iwahashi made it clear for the first time that BOLAN also participated.

"How did you think of how to arrange them?" Watanabe Manyumi was curious.

Shinichi Iwahashi did not answer, but instead mentioned the old saying again, "Mizomi said that Moritoko is a fragile handsome man."

Wanyumi Watanabe reacted and remembered that she had indeed said this, but she couldn't guess why he suddenly mentioned this and remained silent.

"After you said that, I tried to observe it." Shinichi Iwahashi told her.

Although I was secretly observing the male lead singer of the record company to see if he was a fragile handsome man, this kind of thing seems a bit strange...

"Then what?"

Watanabe Manyumi went with him and began to find it funny.

This smile made Shinichi Iwahashi feel heartbroken when he looked at it.

There is no way, and the matter is important, "...Mizomi looks at people very accurately."

To be precise, it is to grasp the temperament accurately. When she was so arrogant that she was indefinitely tempted by the unreliable temperament in Anamura Izumi, she had already shown her excellence in this regard. This time she was not out of the way with Arashi Moritomo.

"Yeah?"

Hearing what he said, Watanabe Manyumi seemed to be in a very high mood, and she felt a bit of a wonderful feeling that she was just right in praise of the right place.

She asked more: "Do you want me to say more specifically?"

It’s not because Iwahashi Shinichi’s compliment after being praised by Shinichi Iwahashi, but because I know that Shinichi Iwahashi will not say things without any reason.

"Please." Shinichi Iwahashi was not polite to her.

There is such a tacit understanding between the two.

Wanyumi Watanabe told him, "Morito-kun gives me the feeling that it is very similar to the two folks in traditional plays. They are fragile and childish, but they have an advantage, they can exile themselves for women and commit suicide."

"ah."

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her with a subtle expression.

Manyumi Watanabe smiled, "Of course, maybe in Shinichikkun's opinion, exile himself for the sake of a woman and committing suicide is not considered an advantage. But the function played by the Nimamu actor in the play is to die for the woman he loves."

The so-called two-meme is a beautiful man who is responsible for talking about love in traditional plays.

In the Edo period, folk drama flourished. On the one hand, it was the background of respecting the samurai. It was not possible to arrange the decent protagonists to have a love relationship with their children. On the other hand, it was the yearning for ordinary people for love and love, such as love. In this way, there were two items that specifically satisfy the appetite of the people.

It is not advisable to not combine the upper and lower situations and take out something alone for praise or criticism.

“Not that.”

Shinichi Iwahashi denied it and smiled, "I have no objection to the functions of the actor Nimama..." He just admired Watanabe Manyumi's precise vision of looking at people in his heart.

"Mizo," Shinichi Iwahashi said to her, "I want BOLAN to work with singers, and I found one or two suitable candidates."

Watanabe Manyumi looked surprised. After a brief surprise, she began to feel curious.

Although Shinichi Iwahashi didn't really prepare a lot of things to tell her, this one alone was enough to keep her.

...

ZARD's new single will be released this Friday, and the record store will start to be released a day or two in advance. When the single is released, the record company has also been returned to it more times than a while ago.

There are also a bunch of singles that have to be held with the team members, listen to the arrangements for the publicity period, and there are also a bunch of singles that have to wait for them to sign and do activities and give favors.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't have time to see ZARD, but he didn't forget to let the staff convey it, asking the band members to prepare a signed single, and then sent it to Osaka for the mother of Mitsuo Terada.

Last Saturday night, after the performance, I just met Mitsuo Terada in a restaurant and learned about it. With such a little friendship, the band members were particularly attentive to do this.

While signing the autograph, Yukiko Kasui didn't forget to invite Shinichi Iwahashi to see the performance.

This week, from Friday to Sunday, there are performances tonight.

The band members worked hard to sign autographs in the company's lounge, Haruko Akamatsu came out of the production department's office and went over to take a look.

Haruko Akamatsu finished her studies and officially joined a record company.

She also has the identity of a former female lead singer in the band. She quit the band, but she worked hard for ZARD as a black-clad person behind the scenes. In the record company, many employees secretly said that she was "the fifth person in ZARD".

On the one hand, she did some work to keep bowing her head for the newly emerging band. On the other hand, her classmates who graduated at the same time and now join large enterprises and live a night of music and singing, feel unreasonable about her, a famous student from Waseda University who came to work as an employee of a small record company.

Students from famous schools have a wonderful sense of self-esteem. If they feel that their classmates are engaged in a job that does not match the identity of "students from famous schools", they will look at this person in a different light.

However, Haruko Akamatsu made up her mind and no longer wavered. She was devoted to being the man in black behind her. She also signed a formal entry contract with GenZo, and changed from a temporary employee to a formal employee.
