712. Seize the Opportunity(1/2)

"Mobilize about 55,000 people, DREAMS COME TRUE field tour ends successfully!!"

"For the first time in the history of a female band! PRINCESS  PRINCESS Budou Hall's three-day performance decision!!"

On Monday, the newspaper entertainment page not only had news that DREAMS COME TRUE's first outdoor tour was successfully completed, but also news that PRINCESS PRINCESS will hold a concert in the Wudang Hall for three consecutive days in July.

Last time, these two bands appeared in the newspapers on the same day at the same time. It was more than two months ago that the two sides took turns to occupy the first place on the singles chart and teamed up to fight back with popular idols and top idols.

This time, one has just completed a large concert, while the other is preparing to hit its own record: the first female band in history to hold a concert in the martial arts hall.

Generally speaking, the more qualifiers are added before the record, the less valuable the record will be.

In the Wudou Hall, the Beatles performed here first and were gilded, and the Rolling Stones were also scheduled to perform here for a while, which was of special significance to Japanese rock bands.

Before the Tokyo Dome was put into commercial use, Japan's largest indoor venue was the Japanese Wudou Hall. Therefore, for singers, holding concerts at the Wudou Hall became a proof of being among the top.

Since the Beatles first held a concert here, in the past twenty-three years, countless singer and idol bands at home and abroad have performed here, and there are many people who have been there for ten consecutive days.

However, there is indeed only the band with a full-female lineup of PRINCESS  PRINCESS.

Because Shinichi Iwahashi was too stretched to be a Women's Rock Festival, he knew how rare a popular female band was in Japan.

This record is not very valuable among singers, but it is of great significance to the female band form. Having the confidence to open a martial arts hall for three days means having the popularity and commercial value to be among the top.

As long as the martial arts hall in these three days can be successfully concluded, PRINCESS  PRINCESS's first-line position will be stable.

This is basically the same as Shinichi Iwahashi let DREAMS  COME TRUE launch a large outdoor tour to show off his strength, popularity and status.

However, he chose to fulfill his agreement with Miwa-chan, while Sony chose a martial arts hall with special meaning.

After all, this year is not only the year when DREAMS COME TRUE became popular, but also the year when PRINCESS  PRINCESS enters its explosive period.

To go further, these two bands first joined hands to beat up their idols on the singles chart, and now they both held large-scale performances to announce the arrival of the band craze.

For the general public, there will be no entire female band or female-centric band. In their opinion, first of all the bands, and then the bands of the female lead singers.

The essence of human beings is Gugu, Follow the Wind, and Lemon Spirit.

Facing these two bands with the strongest momentum this year, various record companies in Tokyo secretly envied and jealous of Sony leading the way again in the band era and gaining the lead. While deciding to reduce the number of idols and cancel their debut plan.

Then, I prepared to follow these two bands, hurry up and make a band plan, and join the battle.

...

"Nagou Sang, here."

The driver reminded him that Nagato Daiyuki moved his attention away from the newspaper in his hand, turned his head and looked out the window, and closed the newspaper.

After taking over the production rights of the theme song "Cherry Maruko", Nagato Daiyu has been working hard around the planned limited-edition group in recent times.

He was made up by Shinichi Iwahashi. This incident certainly made him angry. But later, Nagato Daiyuki decided to follow the flow and instead used this limited group and this cooperation as bait to pave the way for his planned record company.

Under the guise of producing this limited group, he successfully obtained the support of the investors behind Xingchen Firm, introduced the president of Xingchen Firm, and negotiated a decision to hold an interview among the models to select the three harmonious female officials of the limited group.

Today is the day when we agreed to come to Xingchen Firm for a small interview.

In order to save time, I went straight to the topic, Xingchen Firm conducted an intention selection first. But unexpectedly, there were more girls who were interested in participating in the group than I thought.

I originally thought that there were only twelve people in the interview, but I didn’t expect that there were as many as 23 models who were interested in participating in the interview through the agent.

It seems that Pu Ji Yukiko and Ude Keiko were successively selected by the producers of the record company, and Pu Ji Yukiko became famous as the band lead singer. Those two things brought a lot of longing for these models to become singers.

Anyway, I'll try it. If I haven't become popular, I can go back and continue to be a model. If it becomes popular...

The album was sold well, appeared in fashion magazines, and got a special topic of Kuchi Yuki, whose "luckiness" inspired the girls.

Although Nagato Yuki was presented with a trick by Shinichi Iwahashi, he also entrusted his blessings, and eleven more people were chosen in vain.

It's strange that I'm thankful for his blessing...

When Nagato Daiyuki was contacting the person in charge of Xingchen Firm and learned that Yukiko Pu Chi was originally a model of Xingchen Firm and now the agency is still in Xingchen, there is an indescribable feeling.

The Yukiko Kuchi looks impeccable. Nagato Daiyuki went to listen to ZARD's records. She took all the lyrics and read the lyrics she wrote. You will know that she has a considerable talent and unique style in terms of using lyrics and sentences.

It fits perfectly with the heroine he expected with the leading actress in the band, which is centered on the leading singer, but it is different from the style of the band he imagined.

Only one step away!

The guy named Iwaki took the lead again!

The past has passed, and Nagato Daiyuki only hopes to seize this opportunity and use Shinichi Iwahashi to make this limited group famous, so that he can use this limited group as the first shot of the record company to open up the situation.

Then, stay away from that guy named Yanqiao! Never have any connection with him anymore!

Nagato Daiyu was full of energy and wanted to select three harmonious female officials from these twenty-three models - to be precise, they had to choose the fourth person without any emotion.

The right female lead singer of the band he intended.

Don't be aggressive, but you must see plasticity.

We must not only be as straightforward as women of the Heisei era, but also be gentle and restrained as women of the Showa era.

Nagato Daiyuki portrayed the image of the female lead singer in his imagination in his heart.

The interview began, from the first to the twenty-three, the models walked into a small conference room provided by Xingchen Firm in turn. The interview was very fast, and Nagato Daiyuki had already made a draft in his mind. He planned it carefully, and the images of the three female officials should not overlap. Try to make the audience look at it at first sight, and they have the impression that they are three sisters with completely different personalities.

First of all, you have to be beautiful. You can cross it out if you don’t look like him.

The images of the three sisters cannot be overlapped. If two people are similar, the one with the lowest score will be crossed out.

Compared to better singing skills, good sound quality is more important. If the singing sounds very tacky, you have to cross it out.

"Murakami Haruka."

"Mikako Yamaone."

"Watanabe is so beautiful."

Nagato Daiyuki checked the models who came in one by one. After the interview, he drew a circle behind the names of the three girls. If nothing unexpected happens, it is no problem to let these three girls play the role of harmony.

The people from Xingchen Firm were accompanying him. After the last girl left, they asked Nagato Daiyuki for his opinion.

"It's pretty good, the model quality of your firm is very high."

Nagato Oyuki compliments casually, "Not only are there no external conditions, but there are many people who are good at singing." As soon as he said that, he remembered the best one that was picked out by Shinichi Iwahashi, and couldn't help feeling bored.

The people at Xingchen Firm didn't know what he was thinking, so they smiled politely after hearing what he said. Out of kindness, they wanted to get close to Nagato Daiyu - after all, I heard that both parties might become brothers.

"I didn't know that these models could still switch careers to singers. When GENZO's Iwahashi Sang came to pick people..."

During the contact stage, the people from Xingchen Firm knew that the limited combination of Nagato's selection this time was a production commission received from Shinichi Iwahashi.

ZARD is steadily walking the upward path. Xingchen Firm and GENZO are at a good relationship. When they learn that Nagato Oyuki Masato works with Shinichi Iwahashi, the people in the firm do not shy away from mentioning this name in front of him.

Every time he mentioned it, Nagato Daiyu would pinch his nose and accompany him to praise him. Xingchen Office and BEING are not brothers, but they are real partners with Shinichi Iwahashi. Nagato Daiyu could not offend any of them.

To a certain extent, Nagato Daiyuki believes that this harmony selection is tantamount to "bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens."

However, after such efforts, among the twenty-three candidates for harmony, the suitable female lead singer was not selected.

Nagato Daiyuki glanced at the list in his hand. In addition to the three girls who drew circles, there was another girl who drew horizontal lines.

His name is Fujitani Mako, who is the best among the twenty-three models this time. He has a good appearance and can be called a beauty, but he is a little far from the kind of woman he imagined that Showa and Heisei's temperament were both good.

He was wandering in his heart. He wanted to list her as a candidate, but he was a little unwilling to accept it.

But no matter what, the three female officials who had the harmony had already made a decision this time. Nagato Daiyuki asked someone with Xingchen Office on the spot and was preparing to sign a contract with them.

The name of the limited combination is determined to be B.B.QUEENS. This name can be seen as playing B.'s meme.

The reason why I thought of this name is first because the core character of the group, Kondo Nosuke, is a blues singer, and the music god in his heart is B, the king of the Blues Kingdom.

Furthermore, Nagato Daiyu hopes that the name of this group is easy to remember and has a lot of characteristics.

After a comprehensive selection, the name was finalized.

The lead voice is Kondo Nosuke and Hirakura Miko, the three female officials are these three models, the five accompaniment musicians are BEING's musicians, and Oda Tetsuro also joined in, all of which are BEING's lineup.

“By the way.”

Nagato Yuki still spoke and asked Xingchen Firm for a person, "There is another person named Fujitani Mako..." He told Xingchen Firm that he had a plan that he needed a female singer, hoping that Fujitani Mako would give it a try.

It takes four people to speak at a time.

Fujitani Mako was outside the plan, and the people from Xingchen Firm did not express their agreement on the spot.

Nagato Daiyu is not in a hurry to urge him.

This interview took most of the day and had a simple meal with the people from Xingchen Firm at noon. In the evening, he also agreed to invite the staff who accompanied the interview to have a meal and drink one-stop.

After all the days of hard work, Nagato was quite tired.

The next day, he went to the company and asked the clerk to prepare to discuss the work contracts of the three harmonious female officials with Xingchen Office. He was busy, and Takahiro Matsumoto called over and asked Nagato Daiyuki if he could come here now.

Nagato Daiyuki answered "Yes".

After putting down the phone, he couldn't feel relaxed. Especially when he thought of Matsumoto Takahiro's stubborn personality and his achievements that B'z had no improvement at all.

When DREAMS COME TRUE and PRINCESS PRINCESS were fighting all over the industry, B’z performed in LIVEHOUSE across the country.

When a cigarette was smoked two-thirds, Takahiro Matsumoto knocked on the door.

Nagato Daiyu extinguished the cigarette in his hand, waiting to hear what this independent person wants to say.

Takahiro Matsumoto came prepared and went straight to the point as soon as he entered the door and handed a CD to Nagato Daiyuki. In his office, he had all kinds of listening equipment.
