Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1554 1555. A Certain Temptation
The Iwahashi family was bustling throughout the New Year period.

During the first month of the year, the veteran singers signed by the record company gathered in the reception room of Iwahashi's house as they did in previous years.

This year, ZARD did not attend the Red and White Songs Festival, so Sachiko Kamachi and Haruko Akamatsu went on a New Year's trip to Europe together and did not appear at the party.

The eldest daughter of Kyoto did not go back to her hometown for the New Year. When Takenouchi Akihito called to wish her a happy New Year, he told Iwahashi Shinichi about this as big news, and he just thought it was interesting.

"What's so interesting about this?" Takenouchi Akihito was puzzled.

Iwahashi Shinichi replied to his old friend: "Haruko's rebellious heart was aroused by people like Sachiko. Isn't that interesting?"

"That's right... If you only look at the appearance, ZARD's Kamaike-san is very decent."

Akihito Takenouchi said, and he couldn't help but laugh and joked: "When Haruko joined the band, I thought, what if she falls in love with the bandman one day. ... Isn't it a classic plot that a well-educated young lady is deceived by a gangster?"

Shinichi Iwahashi also laughed when he heard Takenouchi Akihito's blunt mockery of Bandman. He said, "Haruko is not the lady we imagined after all."

Akamatsu Haruko often gives people the impression that she is in the fog.

And when she walked with Kamachi Sachiko, the subtle and incomprehensible atmosphere became even stronger.

Sachiko Kamachi was absent from the New Year's party, but Keiko Utoku, who had successfully performed at the Red and White Song Festival on New Year's Eve, came to the Iwahashi family for the first time. She was a calm person by nature and didn't like to join in the conversation, but she was quite interested in the children of the Iwahashi family.

As the other of the only two female solo singers present, Daikoku Maki was helpless against such a person and had to give up the idea of ​​forming an alliance with her. He turned his attention to Iwahashi Shinichi: "Iwahashi-san, please introduce more female solo singers."

In fact, in the past two years, GENZO has been launching female solo singers. However, they all sing for Tetsuya Komuro under the Komuro label.

But obviously, what Daihei Moki expected in his words was a singer of a different style.

Iwahashi Shinichi used someone who wasn't there to take the blame, "Haruko is going to launch a program to discover new creative talents this year. It would be quicker to ask her for help after she and Sachiko return from their trip."

"A new creative person?" Daikoku Moki was very interested.

She thought of something and blurted out, grumbling, "Haruko-chan is doing exactly what Iwahashi-san did before."

This is true. At the same time, it is also what Shinichi Iwahashi is happy to see.

Before Iwahashi Shinichi could say anything, Daikoku Maki asked again, "What about Iwahashi-san? Don't you plan to create any new characters yourself?"

This was not a sharp question, but a casual remark after drinking. Even so, Iwahashi Shinichi answered seriously: "Of course I will personally create new people."

"What kind of newcomer do you want?" Daihei Moki asked with great interest.

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and replied, "Of course it's newcomers like you who capture everyone's attention the moment they debut."

"So, it will be a newcomer with both talent and personality."

Ohguro Maki nodded, more like introducing herself than responding to Iwahashi Shinichi. However, when someone like her said this, it didn't sound arrogant, but just natural.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that in her mind, Shinichi Iwahashi is always a frank and generous person. Daikoku Maki accepted the compliment from Shinichi Iwahashi and happily went to drink and chat with the bandmen.

Shinichi Iwahashi solved the problem easily and listened to people chatting with a smile.

Since we are going to introduce a new artist, we naturally hope that the new artist can become a big hit. From this point of view, Daikoku Moki is happy about a correct nonsense. But the key to correct nonsense is not nonsense, but correctness.

During the first month of the year, Ayumi Hamasaki and her mother Akiko will return from their hometown in Fukuoka. The mother and daughter will come to the Iwahashi family to pay New Year's greetings.

In a few months, Ayumi Hamasaki will have been in Tokyo for two years. She came to Tokyo with the intention of singing for Shinichi Iwahashi, but she became an unprecedentedly serious student and studied hard for two years.

However, for the poor student Ayumi Hamasaki, attending classes is probably just a background for her wild and imaginative thoughts.

At first, they didn't arrange for her to debut because the girl was wavering. Later, after she made up her mind, they still didn't arrange for her to debut. In addition to considering her ability, there was another reason, or the most important reason, that Shinichi Iwahashi didn't want her to stand on the stage too early.

What Shinichi Iwahashi wants is not a pop idol for young girls, but a superstar. So he can only wait until she gets rid of the shackles of her girlish temperament and knows how to show her edge just right.

This girl has a valuable personality, but she has been constrained by this personality for a long time. If she wants to stand on the stage, she must find that balance point.

The stubbornness she possesses is suitable as a raw material for personality processing, but not suitable for direct display to the public. The subtle emotions accumulated in her teenage years are a reflection of her outstanding perception, which makes her a naturally talented lyricist.

But no matter how she spent these two years in Tokyo, Shinichi Iwahashi could never really force this bad girl to go to college and turn her into an ordinary female college student.

In the new year, her next plans will be officially put on the agenda.

……

During the first month of the year, Tetsuya Komuro kept attending parties, attending appointments, and also acting as a host. Last year, Tetsuo Hira brought Namie Amuro and found ways to pass on his business card and the girl's name.

In the first month of this year, Shunichi Baba also appeared at the party together with Tetsuo Hira.

When Tetsuya Komuro first thought about becoming a producer, he had a brief contact with Shunichi Baba. Later, Ikuo Suho chose Daiyuki Nagato from the vast band Pop.

After going around in circles, Tetsuya Komuro finally sat together with Shunichi Baba again.

Ultimately, it was because of the presence of Shinichi Iwahashi. It was this person who started the band trend, and it was this person who decisively decided to collaborate with Tetsuya Komuro.

"This is something only Komuro-san can do."

Baba Shunichi stared at Tetsuya Komuro, as if to persuade him, "Making Amuro-chan a top star is something only Komuro-san can do. ... Of course, compared to the other thing, it's nothing."

The smile on Tetsuya Komuro's face faded and he stared at Baba Shunichi's face.

"To be able to surprise Mr. Iwahashi is something only Mr. Komuro can do."

Baba Shunichi accepted Tetsuya Komuro's sharp gaze, but his expression was calm, "When Vermillion Records was established, I was looking forward to what kind of person could make Mr. Iwahashi helpless..."

What would it be like if Shinichi Iwahashi felt stunned?
Tetsuya Komuro pondered this question.
