If it is still in February, I will apply to the management of Bayshore Plaza now.

Of course, it was two years ago since the last time it was held, not once a year, and there is no need to stick to the month of February. As for this music festival, if it is to be held again, it should be treated as one of the pillars when it is beaded.

It cannot be an independent link, but must be linked to other arrangements. Therefore, the so-called deciding time is actually the deciding time.

"Following the performance of the rankings, the bands are getting better and better, and the women-centric bands are now quite strong. DREAMSCOMETRUE and PRINCESSPRINCESS singles relay are exactly this year."

Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe counted, "In addition to these two, Gekosan Terada who proposed the title 'NAONのYAON', was also in the limelight this year. REBECCA where NOKKO is located is still very popular now... There is also Marisan Hamada, who also has a place in the rankings."

"Including our ZARD, it should not be underestimated. This is a very prominent female band or female rock band in commercial performance." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "In addition, there are bands that are on the rise and bands that are popular in the underground music circle..."

The important role of a female band with excellent business performance is to allow more record companies and more girls to see the possibility of singing rock and forming a band, which has led them to join in.

In a field, the more people come in, the more opportunities you have to carry forward.

"Even, there are female idols who have transformed into rock."

Today is different from the past. Compared to the first time when I held a music festival, Shinichi Iwahashi now has a lot of talent, "Of course, among the female idols, some are not strong, but they only transformed with the popularity, but some are indeed outstanding."

"But no matter what, as long as you change your style, you may become the object of our invitation."

Shinichi Iwahashi took a look at what he thought of and joked, "How is it? Compared to the first music festival from scratch, the current situation - not fifty times, at least thirty times better, right?"

This is just Japan. If you look overseas, you still don’t know what kind of people you can invite.

"Thirty times there will always be." Wanyumi Watanabe smiled.

However, he didn't eat his ecstasy meal, and then changed his mind and asked him for more detailed plans and plans. When talking about the music festival, the two partners who fought side by side really felt like a boss and a small agent in the past.

"Although I know that the band with female protagonists is now popular, if you don't take a look like this, you won't realize that it has already reached this scale, right?"

Shinichi Iwahashi said his plans, "To push the current female rock to the phenomenon, there needs to be something iconic."

"Hold another larger music festival?" Watanabe Manyumi followed up.

"That's it." Iwahashi nodded, "So, why not consider it again, Manyumisan." He smiled, "This time, we may not be just losing money and gaining publicity."

"Um?"

"Maybe it's a win between fame and fortune."

Watanabe Manyumi looked at his confident expression and thought he was a little teenager-angry and funny - of course, this funny thing did not come from thinking that he was unrealistic.

On the contrary, it was because he knew that he had a good idea in his heart that he smiled at the youthful aura that he showed when he was confident.

"Then, please..." she said.

Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and took the words, "Prepare the plan, right?"

But Manyumi Watanabe didn't laugh, but said to him seriously, "Then Iwahashi Sang." She deliberately called "Iwahashi Sang".

Shinichi Iwahashi also put away his smile, "Yes, BOSS." He also deliberately called "BOSS".

Now, she made her laugh again and lose her skills.

In fact, what is funny is not "BOSS", but Shinichi Iwahashi who calls her "BOSS" seriously. Manyumi Watanabe lowered her head and went to get a teacup.

While chatting, the tea became cold. She took her hand back and prepared to go back.

“By the way.”

Shinichi Iwahashi spoke again, "If you hold another music festival, Manyu Misan, can you ask Misasa to ask Watanabe Production to join in?"

When the first music festival was held, the core was Watanabe production. If it was held again this time, GENZO would naturally take the lead. However, Shinichi Iwahashi hoped that Watanabe Manumi would hold the music festival again and get support from Watanabe production.

"Let's wait until you make your plan first."

Manyumi Watanabe neither answered "yes", but did not say "no".

"good."

Shinichi Iwahashi agreed.

Another music festival. In Shinichi Iwahashi's plan, this planned music festival is the gem he prepared for the current rock craze - this crown.

In addition to the female rock who started his career, Shinichi Iwahashi even considered a music festival that was not limited to gender.

Not only women rock, but also become the person who runs in front of the rock craze.

...

As soon as September began, an underground single called "I'm Standing Here" was released in 29 record stores in Tokyo. It is incomparable to the mainstream singles that are widely distributed, but as an underground single, it is already a large-scale distribution.

Ninety-nine percent of underground musicians make a thousand records and sell them in a record store.

Shinichi Iwahashi made a big gamble and ordered 150,000 copies with the printing plate factory. Although the orders from twenty-nine record stores combined, only 12,000 copies were ordered, and the rest were all in the warehouse.

Just the orders were 12,000 copies. If they couldn't be sold, the record store would have to come back and return the goods.

If the single can't be sold, the plastic waste will have to be sent to reclaim the sea.

Just kidding, don't even reclaim the sea.

For an underground single, placing an order of 150,000 in one breath is something that will be opposed wherever it is placed. Even Manyumi Watanabe, who has been standing on his side, is difficult to convince. So Shinichi Iwahashi took a detour and posted this single in the name of a production company, allowing the order for these 150,000 singles to be taken from his production company.

The production company only gave Miwa-chan and Nakamura brothers. Both of them were not involved in the operation and absolute control was in the hands of Shinichi Iwahashi, so there was no need to discuss the discussion, as long as he contacted the printing factory.

Of course, doing this is no different from paying for it on his own.

Fortunately, the underground single itself is cheap. This time, Shinichi Iwahashi decided not to print formats other than CDs. In addition to ensuring the recording quality, the other costs were minimized. Even so, it was a considerable number.

Thanks to the success of the singers who have produced it, DREAMSCOMETRUE is a best-seller. The royalties given to him by the production company can make Shinichi Iwahashi occasionally do this.

Because he took all of it, the copyright of the original disk of this underground single belongs to his production company. The distribution rights still belong to the record company. They are in a mess and quite scattered.

Of course, copyright is only valuable if it sells well, otherwise it will take up space even if it is over.

However, I insisted on posting singles through the production company and ordering 150,000 copies at one time, Shinichi Iwahashi was not very excited. Although, if you want to bet, it is not a gamble.

However, the fact that you can't see the ending at a glance is a gambling itself, but just big bets and small bets.

The production company released these 150,000 singles, on the one hand, is preparing for the super hot band, and on the other hand, it is also creating opportunities for the production company - how to make it more valuable.

The more valuable the production company is, the harder Shinichi Iwahashi's back will be.

Before the underground single was released, the promotion of the band was quietly carried out in the underground music circle. Since he is now an underground band, in order not to attract disgust, he cannot use the bombardment method of mainstream singers who debuted.

At this time, thanks to Fengdao's wide connections, Shinichi Iwahashi himself has a good reputation in the underground music circle. In addition, this incident is special, involving "creative freedom", and the mainstream and underground views on weekdays must be put aside for the time being.

Having a common enemy is better united than having a common friend.

Moisturize things silently and without realizing it, THEBLUEHEARTS’s story is spreading more and more widely in the underground music circle.

THEBLUEHEARTS guys started performing on LIVEHOUSE since the contract was terminated. After the underground single was printed, they were sold after the performance.

However, the sales process of the performance was still a small fight, and Shinichi Iwahashi's focus was on the record store.

These twenty-nine record stores are all close to the underground music circle and mainly sell niche records and underground records.

On this side, the members of THEBLUEHEARTS performed hard, and the record company secretly tried to promote and arouse the public's emotions. On the other side, the report on "MUSICA" was also released and published in the magazine.

When Iwahashi Shinichi and Abuki discussed, he repeatedly emphasized that the focus should be on "creative freedom". Not only did Abuki know this well, but the editor of "MUSICA" would not be confused.

Music magazines, what is the most irritating reader’s emotions? They know the most about the magazines.

The first thing Kent wants to buy music magazines is the music lovers. Considering the audience of "MUSICA", these people are still fans of singers and bands. They are more sensitive to creative freedom than idol fans.

For Shinichi Iwahashi, choosing the MUSICA to publish the report is a round of screening.

This song "I'm Standing Here" was also featured in the A-book as a response. Similarly, when the magazine was first released, it became a big advertisement.

After the magazine was released, the incident about the band really caused an uproar among the music fans.

After that, we can only look at how powerful this advertisement is, how much topic it can trigger, and how many singles it can digest.

...

On one side, we walked forward on the steel wire, and our future was like gambling THEBLUEHEARTS, and on the other side was a smooth road, waiting for the DREAMSCOMETRUE, which was inlaid with gems on the crown.

Tokyo venue is right at your doorstep and you don’t have to arrive in advance. It’s much easier for Shinichi Iwahashi. There is no need to rush the itinerary, and even the rehearsal is much more free. The day before the official performance is not stuck.

The rehearsal began two or three days before the formal performance started. Shinichi Iwahashi took time to participate. The driver with affection was waiting next to him. After the rehearsal was over, he sent him to his next work location.

Arrived in the rehearsal, went to the locker room, replaced the suit, and wore a loose T-shirt.

The T-shirt is the periphery of this concert. The most ordinary white T-shirt is only printed on the front chest. The value of this tour doubles immediately - and in this way, it was snatched up wildly.

During the tour, the staff on site all wore T-shirts around as uniform work clothes.

It’s September, and it looks a bit like autumn. Although it’s still hot during the day, the oppression brought by the summer sky is wiped out.

Bayshore Plaza is close to the seaside, and the sea breeze is cooler, which is much more comfortable than in the city. After the expansion Bayshore Plaza, standing on the stage and looking around, you can see everything in your eyes, and you will feel refreshed.

“It has changed a lot, here in Bayshore Plaza.”

Miwa-chan ran to Shinichi Iwahashi and told him.

"Because it has been re-expanded." Shinchi Iwahashi answered seriously.

Miwa-chan said "stop" and said, "I know this without saying it. It's about the feeling of standing here again."

"It's a feeling!"

She emphasized it once.
