Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1175 1175. No exception
On Christmas Eve this year, Mihe-chan and Nakamura-san performed at the LIVEHOUSE jointly funded by the three of them as usual, vowing to make this practice a tradition.

The LIVEHOUSE chain has opened branches in Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Sapporo, the hometown of Miwa Sauce, and opened two new branches in Sendai and Hiroshima last year.

Of course, all shops, without exception, are rented houses.Although since they started to get involved in the LIVEHOUSE operation, all three of them have become the key objects of care in the eyes of bank financial specialists and real estate salesmen.Yanqiao Shinichi, the person in charge, even received calls from financial specialists from time to time, or received visit requests from uninvited guests.

The commissioners who are determined to be the first in terms of performance can really sit down and ask for a loan.

Rent a house to open a store, if the management is not good, close the store and withdraw the lease, if the business is good, rent a house to expand, and open it wherever you want.This is a truth that even Meihe-chan understands.

Of course, everyone who sells and participates enthusiastically understands this truth.

It's just that they live in an era that goes against common sense.

After opening branches in big cities across the country, their LIVEHOUSE has another purpose: to become the venue of choice for singers on tour.

Among the singers who hold concerts, some can mobilize tens of thousands of people, and naturally some perform in venues that can only accommodate 10 people.Even a little unknown singer can make a living from music as long as he has a few thousand loyal listeners.

And starting to undertake the singer's tour also brought a stable income to LIVEHOUSE.Only then can it be said that their LIVEHOUSE has a basis for normal operation.And this is also the focus of Yanqiao Shinichi's attention.

It not only provides a stage for underground musicians, but also can be used as a venue for performances.

On this basis, in the future, more branches may be opened.But at that time, the meaning of opening a branch is to add another one, making this a tour route for unknown singers.

……

Counting the chain stores in Tokyo, since this year, the local staff and scouts have sent dozens of carefully selected performance videos to the company to recruit new talents for the company.

For the operation of the band, GENZO is now very experienced. It has recruited several famous players from the industry who can play their own roles, and has also actively cooperated with well-known producers and musicians in the industry.

Since Iwahashi Shinichi resigned from the position of president last year and was in charge of the debut of Dai Kuroki, he is rarely in charge of a band directly.After meeting Tetsuya Komuro, now, in order to support his electronic dance music project, he enriches himself and makes preparations.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who temporarily looked away from the band, has not been in charge of any rookie bands other than the few bands he was in charge of in the past year.

The fact that he can still attract newcomers to GENZO without him having to do everything himself, actually shows that the reputation of GENZO, a record company, has reached the level where it can win people's trust.

However, in the end it was the band that started. Although it is now ready to change direction, when Iwahashi Shinichi is making plans for the coming year, he still considers that he will launch one or two bands next year.After all, I started out as a band producer. If I stay away from rookie bands, I will lose my sense of capturing popular trends.

The form of bands is different from idols. Even if the trend of music changes in a short period of time, there will definitely be bands that will stand out.Because the band can be combined with any kind of fashion trend.Even if the current wave of band craze is over, Iwahashi Shinichi also firmly believes that when the new fashion is in full swing, there will still be new bands that will become popular.

It is this particularity of the band that makes Iwahashi Shinichi unable to lose his sense of capturing the trend of the band.

Of course, the reason for doing this is because Iwahashi Shinichi also has to consider that in addition to planning the next new direction of GENZO, he also has to guard against the decline of his original influence.So, it became a must-do.

……

After Giraffe Man became a limited-time character, Shinichi Iwahashi could only support the regular performance of DREAMS COME TRUE on Christmas Eve as an audience member.

And this year's Christmas Eve, Nakamori Akina was with her to watch the show.

Three days ago, she performed on the stage of Nakano SUNPLAZA, showing her dazzling brilliance of a big star.At this moment, he disguised himself and followed Iwahashi Shinichi to the scene early, squeezed into the front row, facing the small stage, and waited for the performance to start.

On Christmas Eve last year, Shinichi Iwahashi went to watch the band's regular performance alone, and then went to meet up with Akina Nakamori.This year, finally two people acted together to watch the same show.

In such a performance scene, from the moment the audience enters the arena, all their attention is directed to the stage that is close at hand. Even Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina are no exception, looking at the stage in front of them.

Although, Yanqiao Shenyi thought, part of the reason for such concentration is that the auditorium of the standing seats is too narrow to allow a bunch of eyes to look around, and can only look at the widest and brightest place in the venue .

The venue is small, and the band is simple.In addition to the keyboard player for Giraffe Man as a backup, only one other drummer was added as a supporting musician.

On the keyboard used on the stage, there is a sticker of a cartoon image of a giraffe man.In this funny cartoon image, there is a credit for Meihejiang.Although no one really thinks there's anything admirable about her designs, except herself, who is smug about it.

But she insisted on bringing the giraffe man together, and Shinichi Iwahashi became the one who couldn't complain.

Standing in the front row, you can have a panoramic view of everything on the stage.Akina Nakamori felt amused when she saw the cartoon giraffe man pasted on the keyboard.

But what made her feel funny was not the funny sticker image, but the one that emerged in her mind. Shinichi Iwahashi had nothing to do about it, and could only act like Miwa Yoshida.And thinking that Shinichi Iwahashi, who is next to him in the audience, will also notice the cartoon sticker, makes Nakamori Akina even more interesting.

When the performance started, Nakamori Akina let go of these weird imaginations, and naturally focused on the performance itself.

Yoshida Miwa's singing ability is recognized as the top level, and her crazy personality, she was a little cautious when she first started singing, but once she sang, she seemed to plunge into her own music world, running wildly all the way until she was out of breath. Drenched in sweat, I sang to my heart's content, which also made the audience feel enjoyable.

Even Akina Nakamori is no exception.
