Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1549 1550. Changing the Way

It is almost October and the wind brings the coolness of early autumn. This summer has been unusually hot, and the arrival of autumn makes people feel relieved.

The weather is fresh and people are particularly energetic.

"Shinichi-kun——"

When Meiwa-chan came to the house, she was quite aggressive. However, because there was a baby at home, her voice was reduced by 70%, and her momentum was only 30%, so she was calm.

The daughter is a caring little girl. Even when she was still in her cradle, she knew how to rescue her father.

Recently, Akina Nakamori went out to work to promote the movie about murdering her husband, which she is working on with Kyoko Koizumi. When his wife is occasionally not at home, Shinichi Iwahashi has a perfect excuse to work from home, and Kenta, the pet dog, acts as the atmosphere. Of course, in reality, most of the work is done by the babysitters hired.

In this way, the act of working from home has a suspicious suspicion of being deliberately aimed at Meihejiang.

Even though he is a little fox who is used to carrying a gun, he still has the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young. Considering that there is a baby at home, he will not make too much noise.

Nakamura, who came with Miwa-chan, was not impatient and handed over their respective visiting gifts. The preparations were so thoughtful that Shinichi Iwahashi could sense Nakamura's attitude.

Last year, the band successfully held its quadrennial circus tour, and the tour video they released sold 500,000 copies, breaking the existing sales record, and firmly maintained its position at the top in all aspects.

Sitting firmly on the top of the mountain, the work schedule has naturally entered a period of slowing down. There are only two singles planned for this year, and the album is planned to be released early next year, and a small-scale tour with the album as the theme will be launched at the same time.

There is no need to work as hard as in the first few years after debut. Moreover, now that he has achieved success and a solid position in Japan, all kinds of ideas naturally surge in his mind.

Meihejiang’s intrusion into Meixin has been going on for a long time, and this time she is bringing up the old matter again.

"Shinichi-kun, don't you agree?"

Miwa-chan leaned forward and approached the mountain of documents in front of Shinichi Iwahashi.

Shinichi Iwahashi raised his head and asked, "If we go to the US, what kind of music should we make?"

"Of course it's DCT-style music."

Absolute innocence means absolute confidence.

Nakamura said nothing. Iwahashi Shinichi listened to Miwa-chan's words, but first looked at him. Meeting his gaze, Nakamura smiled harmlessly.

To some extent, these two people are very compatible. Both of them are deeply influenced by Western music and dream of going out into the world. At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi, who did not experience this kind of growth background, became a bystander and knew that being too deeply influenced by Western music was the biggest weakness of the band.

There is no need for Europeans and Americans to listen to a knockoff, or even an outdated knockoff. This is not an era of nostalgia, but on the contrary, an era of continuous innovation.

But Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't say such words to Mika-chan.

Nakamura-san might not be unaware of this. Whether he agrees with Mika-chan's proposal and goes with her, or whether he disagrees with Mika-chan and just wants to pass the ball to Iwahashi Shinichi, it is still unknown.

Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a moment and said, "Miwa-chan, why don't you do a solo activity?"

"Solo? In the name of one person?" Miwa-chan always said "the three of us will sing together until we die." At this moment, Iwahashi Shinichi suggested that she sing solo. However, she did not react strongly to this sentence, but just stared at him closely.

Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly realized some subtle thoughts of hers.

Compared to when we first met, there is no doubt that Shinichi Iwahashi's life has changed dramatically in all aspects. However, in contrast, Miwa-chan has always been on the road of DREAMS COME TRUE and has not changed.

To go to the US is to take a completely new path in life. It may be related to her dream in her teenage years, but if the word is slightly changed, the real meaning may be: a road not taken.

When she came up with the idea of ​​going to the US, success or failure was probably not important to her, which is why she was confident enough to come up with this idea.

"Just give it a try as a solo artist, and make music based on your own ideas. If you wish, you can also consider releasing the album overseas." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "If you have a mature concept and the performance is acceptable, we can consider the next step."

In short, we should avoid using the band's brand. The reason why a brand is a brand is that it cannot be damaged. Especially in this era of overall decline and disillusionment, Japan's top bands cannot return to the United States with a big defeat.

Although there is no singer who stays at the top forever, the band's limit in Japan is not limited to this. Especially in the unpredictable competitive era ahead, if the band is really hurt by the US dollar, it may have to experience a lost decade.

With the speed of renewal in the record industry, no matter how popular a singer was when he was popular, once he is out of fashion, unless he waits for a great opportunity to make a comeback, he will become a mascot that is respected by others. In the highly developed entertainment market, no one can be abandoned by the audience.

"Masato-san and I can both support you in the production. Of course, you can also choose the producer you want to cooperate with and try more..."

"Even so, I can't escape?" Brother Nakamura narrowed his eyes and finally said something.

His attitude was still ambiguous, and I didn't know whether he was complaining that even if Mikado was performing solo, he would still be behind her, or he was telling Mikado in this way that even though the form of activities had changed on the surface, in fact, the three of them were still active together.

Just like the Giraffe Man only shows up at a concert once every four years, but that doesn’t mean he’s actually absent.

The band is still a band, and Mika-chan can try whatever she wants to do, and the three of them can even try a different way of cooperation. As for Mika-chan's wish to go to the United States, she can carry out some activities in the United States, but she cannot really debut.

It's a compromise approach.

Meika-chan didn't agree, but she didn't refuse on the spot either.

Shinichi Iwahashi felt that he was halfway to success if he could avoid being rejected immediately. If she agreed, Shinichi Iwahashi would come forward to negotiate with Sony to arrange her solo schedule and overseas release for the US market.

She didn't say anything, and Iwahashi Shinichi didn't rush her. He looked at the time and said, "The little girl is almost awake, Miwa-chan, how about you go and see her later?"

"Do you want me to help you take care of the baby?" Meihe-chan thought for a moment and said confidently, "I have two younger brothers. When they were young, I was always very responsible and acted like a good older sister..."

Well, the responsible sister who tricked her five-year-old brother into drinking rice water by saying it was a drink.

That's what happens when you're too familiar with her. Iwahashi Shinichi thought of her unreliable personality when she was overconfident, and quickly refused: "I just want you to take a look at her, kid, she'll look the same in a few days, it's so fresh."

Meiwa-chan was a little unhappy and said sarcastically, "That's amazing. Now that you're a father, you can talk so much."

Among the three people in DREAMS COME TRUE, Shinichi Iwahashi is definitely worth mentioning.
