Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1413 1414. Possibility of the Future
The staff of the TV station and the record company, when referring to the group SUPER MONKEY'S, referred to the girls as "little monkeys".

For a girl idol group that debuted for the first time, the performance of this group's debut single is neither good nor bad.Although they didn't get a decent ranking, they at least made it into the top [-] of the rankings, which was much better than those rookies who didn't even make a splash.

It is a common practice in the industry not to make a conclusion about the future of a newcomer until the first three singles are released.

However, after the debut single was released, the record company collected feedback from all parties, and the results were not optimistic.In the Ice Age of idols, this girl group from Okinawa did not have the charm to make the audience take a second look.

Many people in the industry believe that this group with Amuro Namie as the absolute center, because it highlights the central position of Amuro Namie too much, it gives the audience the feeling that it does not look like a girl group, but more like a female singer and her Several backup dancers.

As for Namie Amuro, who has a dark complexion and looks like a little monkey, where is her charm reflected?
If it is just a youthful, dark-skinned beautiful girl idol, then it will not be able to leave a deep impression on the hearts of the audience.

The debut of SUPER MONKEY'S was unremarkable, but Baba Shunichi and Heping Tetsuo's determination was not affected at all, and they continued to steadily advance the next step of the group's debut according to the original plan.

The end of the year is approaching. This year, VERMILLION Records won two Red and White song shows, slightly less than GENZO Records' three.These two record companies alone have sent four bands to the Red and White Song Concert, and with the addition of the quotas of those major record companies, the stage of this year's Red and White Song Concert, the pop group, is still dominated by bands.

However, TRF, which will make its debut at this year's Hongbai Song Festival, seems to announce that a new era is about to descend.

At this moment when everything is still unclear, Shunichi Baba, who only has the card SUPER MONKEY'S in his hand, seems determined to go his own way.

... But opportunities are often hidden at unexpected moments.

The scene of Akina Nakamori returning from her wedding vacation and tanning herself with a dark complexion was repeatedly broadcast by the TV station.After that, she herself participated in TV shows with such an image, and shot a feature for a fashion magazine.At the end of this year, suddenly, there was a burst of tanning topics.

Tanning was popular until the early 80s, and it still had a place in the Japanese fashion industry.But from the late 80s, the aesthetics of women changed, and the fashion industry began to regard white as beauty.

Fashion is a reincarnation, the same fashion element will be popular again after a few years or more than ten years.

People who have experienced the tanning epidemic do not find it surprising, but for the new generation who regard white as beauty, Akina Nakamori has once again become the fashion queen in their minds.When fashion magazines follow Akina Nakamori's free-spirited tanning complexion and launch a special topic on tanning, the eyes of the new generation of young people also turn to the strange old fashion of "dark skin".

Thanks to Akina Nakamori, even Namie Amuro appeared as a model in a fashion magazine for teenage girls.

Namie Amuro, who has a dark complexion and was ridiculed for being like a little monkey, suddenly revealed her own charm.

He regards Iwahashi Shinichi as a strong enemy, but the trend brought about by the wife of this strong enemy can still bring a chance for the newcomers under him.The arts world is such a place, if you have the idea of ​​being incompatible with a certain force, you will not be able to really gain a foothold.

Of course, Shunichi Baba knew that the opportunities brought by the sudden drop in heat would not last long. After this gust of wind passed, whether Namie Amuro or SUPER MONKEY'S, they were still the ordinary girl group that came to Beijing from Okinawa.

However, when the heat comes, it is necessary for the operators of the combination to seize every opportunity that can be seized.

Taking advantage of this gust of wind, Baba Shunichi and Heping Tetsuo came up with a bold idea, and decided to give this group the biggest opportunity to appear since their debut: appearing in the Red and White Song Festival.

Of course, a girl group with no name and no surname is not eligible to participate in the Red and White Song Festival.However, the feedback given to this combination by people in the industry gave Ma Changjun the inspiration for his actions.

People in the industry believe that the ranking of the group overemphasizes Amuro Namie's central position, making the group look like a girl singer and her backup dancers.That being the case, Shunichi Baba turned to seek an opportunity for SUPER MONKEY'S to serve as a backup dancer for the singers who will appear in the Kohaku Uta - such an opportunity.

The two groups of singers that will appear on VERMILLION Records are both bands, and the combination cannot follow the singers of their own record company on stage.However, with the strength of the BURNING department in the industry, it is not difficult to find such a partner.

At that time, as long as one more line of the name of the backup dance group is written on the subtitle of the introduction, it will be a publicity.

However, this approach is just cleverness and cannot be put on the table.For Baba Shunichi, this is just an opportunity to seize when the heat comes.

In this trend that Nakamori Akina accidentally brought up, what he really saw was a possibility.That is: the girl I brought back from Okinawa may be able to become a trend-setting person.

Akina Nakamori's unintentional move showed the younger generation a fashion that they had never seen before.After that, this epidemic, there will be a successor who will become the fashion leader of the younger generation.

Amuro Namie's personal characteristics are really strong, if she is put in the group, all the attention will naturally fall on her.Such a girl is destined to shine, and the people around her are destined to become her foil.

Shunichi Baba saw all kinds of possibilities in her.How to realize those possibilities will be his job as a producer.

……

Shinichi Iwahashi, the girl group who was ridiculed by TV producers as "monkeys", saw them later, when he went to BMG Records' year-end reception in mid-December.

Like Genzo Records, VERMILLION Records does not have its own distribution network, so BMG Records was entrusted to act as the company's distributor.

Of course, this sentence will have to be changed in the coming year.Next year, GENZO will set about establishing its own distribution network.These two are independent record companies that have emerged in recent years, and the similarities between them are getting less and less.

This reception was naturally attended by the president of VERMILLION Records, Nagato Taiyuki.Iwahashi Shinichi and Nagato Taiyuki had friendly cooperation several times, and they met at a reception by chance, and both parties were polite and thoughtful.

However, after a few pleasantries, Nagato Taiyuki took the initiative to say goodbye.In the venue, Shinichi Iwahashi met Shunichi Baba, the executive of VERMILLION Records who had met for a few times.

As soon as Nagato Taixing left, Baba Shun came back.

Yanqiao Shinichi somewhat realized that since just now, Baba Shunichi has been paying attention to this matter.
