719. Some kind of responsibility(1/2)

It's okay to go and see it quietly.

It is known that Akina Nakamori will definitely go to see the concert of Dorimuzcom Tulu, but I don’t know which event she will appear. If you want to know which event she will go to, you must know after she says it...

The more I talked about it, the stranger it became.

Two people, one was so tired after the concert, and the other was about to go to dance with his good friend, but after a few more words, he put down the phone.

...

The next morning, during dinner, the newspaper entertainment page headlines of that day published news about Mikong Skylark's death.

In the early morning of June 24, the queen of the song performer Mikū Skylark died at the Shuntiantang Hospital in Tokyo at the age of 52 due to acute respiratory insufficiency caused by interstitial pneumonia.

Iwahashi Shinichi was very calm last night. However, the people who were traveling with him were shocked and surprised by the big news about the art world.

After all, he is the most important person in the singing industry now, the gem on the crown.

As soon as the news came out, Shinichi Iwahashi immediately went to communicate with the stage director of the concert, and contacted Sony and Watanabe Manumi. At today's concert, Yumiwa-chan was the representative and added a temporary commemoration session.

I only say a few words to express my grief for the beautiful skylark.

In Osaka, Shinichi Iwahashi came on a business trip last time, and it was Showa's rogue locusts. This time I came to the concert and met the queen of the song "Mikko" Mikami who passed away.

After communicating with the stage director and two teammates, the stage director couldn't help but sigh in a very nostalgic tone, "I didn't expect that Mikongsang would die soon."

The words are filled with feelings about the change of times.

But that's all, there will be no extra reaction.

It is true that the generation of queens of singing is the highest-selling singer in Japan. However, there is no sales statistics list at the peak of Mikong Skylark. How many have been sold is only a roughly calculated data.

By the time the sales statistics list was available, Mikong Skylark's career had begun to decline sharply, and the records were basically unsold. The box office of the concert was very good, with countless loyal supporters of middle-aged and elderly people. Even these supporters may not necessarily support her new works in recent years, but it seems like they are gathering around the symbol of the era of Mikong Skylark.

Before her death, Mikong Skylark was an old artist whose status in the world had reached its peak and respected everyone, but may not be willing to pay for her records.

In the hearts of older people, this person still has considerable weight.

For young people, she is a great figure who will make her finale if she appears at a large party - but she doesn't really want to see her perform.

After all, even the form of singing has begun to decline significantly.

Even the older person is feeling and regretting her death at this moment, which may not be nostalgia for the time she has experienced. That regret may not be the passing of Mikawa Skylark itself.

Newspapers and morning news that convey real-time news will give Mikko Skylark a message to all of Japan. Later, magazines with summary meanings and special programs on TV will review the life of the queen of singing.

Singers and songwriters in the singing industry must express their condolences as long as they appear in public this time.

In addition, the most reflects that ordinary people pay attention to Mikong Skylark is probably the record store.

While the news was published, record stores of all sizes spontaneously prepared a large poster to commemorate Mikko Skylark, put her records in the most conspicuous place in the store, and at the same time, they sent a request for purchases to the record company.

Since the store opened in the morning, Volkswagen, who had received the news, went to the record store to buy a selection of Zhang Meikong Skylark, or to see if she has a newly released single.

Whether I liked her or just wanted to join in the fun.

After all, the essence of human beings is to follow the trend, and the essence of Japanese people is to follow the trend twice.

Meikong Skylark has poor sales in recent years, and the number of records shipments is already relatively small. Record stores are also very conservative when purchasing goods. Smaller stores soon declare that their inventory has been completely removed.

For singers, a big publicity that can only be used once in their lifetime is death.

But other than that, everything goes as usual.

...

"Anyway, I will send postcards to Mikawa Sunset's office first."

In the moving car, Omoto casually told Akina Nakamori how to deal with the death of Mikami Skylark. Although there is no intersection between her and Mikami Skylark, she is well-known in the industry and has basic etiquette.

It is precisely because there is no intersection that at this stage, as long as you complete the basic etiquette, you will not lose your etiquette.

"Yes." Akina Nakamori was absent-minded and listened to Omoto's words.

This look of disinterest, Da Ben didn't say anything more when he saw this. However, it seemed that he was still digesting it, rather than being indifferent.

This morning, the agent came over and picked her up and conveyed the news to her and the corresponding response methods.

After reading the news, my mother probably feels lonely...

When Omoto spoke calmly and said the way he would deal with it next, Akina Nakamori was thinking about the feelings of Chieko, the mother who liked Mikami the most.

Chieko has liked Mikawa Lark since she was young, and has been listening to her songs for decades. When she was a child, Akina Nakamori, who was sticking behind Chieko like a little tail, also learned to sing Mikawa Lark with her mother when she was in the musical enlightenment.

For Akina Nakamori, Mikami Skylark also seems to be a symbol.

For Chieko, who once regarded Mikko as a role model for life, Mikko's passing is like an old friend who has been with her for many years, and her mood is probably more complicated.

I want to say hello to my mother.

Akina Nakamori sat in the car on the way to work, but her heart flew to Kiyose's hometown.

During the lunch break, she went to the recording studio's public telephone and called Kiyose's hometown, but it was not connected. On Sunday, Chieko might go to the building in front of the station to check it out, or maybe Hepingta was going to play.

Akina Nakamori thought ran through this idea. When she imagined that her mother might take Heita out for fun, she subtly recalled the self who pestered her mother when she was a child and asked her to take her to Asakusa.

Thinking of this, together with myself, it seems that I have experienced some kind of loneliness.

...

At the second day of Osaka Festival, Miwa-chan threw away Shinichi Iwahashi and went to act with the two girls who were in harmony - probably because she thought it was too boring to act together yesterday.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who was disliked, was in a stable state. After breakfast, he went back to his room and made a few calls to Tokyo. Later, he went shopping in Osaka alone.

It's just Sunday, and I can still go to Osaka Castle Park to have a look.

It was still the same, and when he saw a band that was still alive, he put a coin in the piano box. If there was a band that passed by, he would hand over the business card and invite the band to perform at the LIVEHOUSE that he and Miwa-chan Nakamura in Osaka.

Kansai's artistic system is also mature and has its own way of cultivating people. It is similar to winning the first prize of the lottery.

Therefore, you must cast a wide net appropriately. As long as you see a little shining point, you will give you a chance to go out first.

After a walk around, I posted two business cards, but Shinichi Iwahashi hit him again when he came to Osaka last time, and the squirting Q picked up in Osaka Castle Park. Several young men still dressed in strange clothes and carefully put on makeup to perform here.

After Shinichi Iwahashi signed them into the production company, he did not restrict their actions except asking them not to interact with the audience like funny artists.

Usually, a few young people go to LIVEHOUSE in Osaka to perform, and go to Tokyo to report it two or three times a month, communicate and study with musicians at the production company, hand in homework regularly, and write new songs.

If they write good songs, they are willing to sell them, and the company is willing to pay for them.

At this moment, several of them performed hard, and there were a lot more audiences who stopped near them than when they first met them in Osaka Castle Park.

Most importantly, these young people finally no longer show off their nonsense as Kansai people so often, and they have been much more restrained. Although they are still a distance from their profession, they are at least like bands, and they will not make people think of funny artists.

During the time when Shinichi Iwahashi stopped for them, several young people who performed also discovered that there was a big acquaintance among the audience. Terada Mitsuo's expression was about to lose control for a moment, but he held it back and continued to carry out the performance.

After singing this song, Shinichi Iwahashi went over and put a hundred yuan coin into their piano case.

There were some coins scattered in the koto box, and there was a thousand-dollar bill. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at this "Natsume Soseki" and thought that Osaka people would do something like giving street artists one thousand yen?

But maybe it was done by Tokyo people who couldn't guess what Osaka people were thinking.

Staying in Osaka, Shinichi Iwahashi also fired a cannon at the Tokyo people.

No one expected that a few young men would meet Shinichi Iwahashi here. As soon as the song ended, they stopped performing and greeted him.

"I'm disturbing you." Shinichi Iwahashi said.

Terada Mitsuo smiled shyly and asked, "Iwahashi Sang has watched the performance just now."

“It sounds like a new song.”

"Yes." Terada Mitsuo replied. After getting familiar with it, he unknowingly became the spokesperson for Shinichi Iwahashi. "Because I wanted to collect the audience's impressions in person, I came to Osaka Castle Park to perform on the roadshow."

“What is the response?”

"Anyway, I wasn't ridiculed." He had a little humor.

When Shinichi Iwahashi heard him say this, he laughed at him, "I think it's quite good. Next time I go to Tokyo, I will make a sample of the song and listen to it."

After he praised the young people, it seemed that they had been recognized, and the visible ones were even more cheerful.

It happened to happen that at noon, Shinichi Iwahashi simply invited them to dinner.

A few young men packed up their musical instruments and prepared to go to the tooth-fighting ceremony with Shinichi Iwahashi. Behind them were a few young men who were not serious, Shinichi Iwahashi once again enjoyed the treatment of being avoided by passers-by.

"Mother asked me to thank Iwahashi Sang."

Terada Mitsuo followed Shinichi Iwahashi and whispered, "Thank you for the ZARD album you sent... I originally planned to thank you in person when you meet you in Kyoto next time."

Telling Shinichi Iwahashi about the album he gave reminds Terada Mitsuo of his mother's efforts to promote ZARD in the store street.

If it were said that at the beginning, Terada Mitsuo's mother just liked the band ZARD, but when her son joined Shinichi Iwahashi's company, Shinichi Iwahashi deliberately remembered that she liked ZARD and specially gave her the band's new record. After that, she had a more unusual enthusiasm for the band ZARD.

It seemed as if I had also become popular with ZARD and Shinichi Iwahashi's company had some responsibility for growing.

After receiving the new album, Terada Mitsuo's mother began to use her clever but not annoying sales skills in Osaka Shopping Street Oppasanna, and promoted the album with the people around her.

A few days ago, ZARD came to Osaka to hold a concert. Terada Mitsuo's mother did not get the ticket, which was quite annoyed. However, negative emotions came and went quickly and could not watch the concert, so she stayed in the store to watch the house.

However, this is obviously not suitable for Shinichi Iwahashi to hear. Terada Mitsuo thought about it in her heart and swallowed it back.

"Mother also said," he remembered, "If Iwahashi Sang thinks the store has good stuff, I will bring some to you next time."

While Terada Mitsuo said, she felt embarrassed in her heart, and felt that it was too shy to offer to send dry goods to Shinichi Iwahashi.
To be continued...
