Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 331
The selection of the debut single and the album should be carried out at the same time. As an undebuted band, their lyrics and music are very generous.

There are not only the songs that Miwa-chan has composed since elementary school, but also the lyrics and music that she and Iwahashi Shinichi completed from time to time like handing in homework after meeting.

More than enough to make an album.

Of course, keep in mind the lesson of FIR, don't put all the good songs on the same album.

There were several song selection meetings, and there is no doubt that the debut single was the song "So Happy!"so happy!Really like! ", as for the finalized list of album songs, nine songs are Miwa-chan's songs, and only one uses Nakamura Masato's stock songs.

The reason for this arrangement is simple and unadorned. Mihe-chan's ability to compose lyrics for other people's songs has not yet been perfected.In order not to give semi-finished products to consumers, let's sing her song first.

To make a debut, not only have to choose a song, but also other aspects.

As they acted, so did CBS Sony.

The debut press conference is scheduled to be held on the last day of April. Before the press conference, people from the record company have already started sending the band's materials to TV stations, broadcasting bureaus, record stores, etc. to build momentum for the band's debut.

During this period, the personal manager who was sent to take charge of the band's affairs was also in place, a 35-year-old man named Numata.

In addition to the agent, there is also a stylist who is specially in charge of them.As part of their debut preparations, the band will participate in several music magazine shoots and conduct simple interviews.

A powerful band does not have such high requirements on the external image, so none of the three of them were asked to do anything like orthodontics, and the 100% natural face was preserved.

The costumes and props during the concert are another matter, but if you want to appear in magazines or on TV, you still need to listen to the stylist’s advice, and of course, you will also keep some of your own insistence.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura Masato didn't need to worry about much about their costumes, just a few sets to go back and forth.

As the core character of the band, Mihe-chan is also the only flower, so she is naturally the one who gets the most attention. Therefore, most of the quarrels about clothing or hairstyles come from Mihe-chan and the stylist—and it’s amazing, most of them It ended with a stylist compromising.

Every time she waved the banner of victory to preserve her individuality, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but think in his heart that Miwa-chan would probably seldom lose to anyone in the matter of uncompromising.

However, for this kind of dispute, Brother Nakamura is much more impolite, always laughing and complaining: "The mind is really stubborn."

In response, Miwa-chan gave Nakamura a "What are you talking about?" face.

At times like this, it was when Shinichi Iwahashi was watching the fun from the sidelines.

……

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Before the debut press conference, I started preparing for the debut interview for the music magazine.Before the debut press conference, they entered the recording studio and started recording.

The recording production is carried out in Sony's recording studio in Shinanomachi. This recording studio completed in 1978 is the top recording studio in Japan and has always been synonymous with high-quality recording.

Produced by Shinano studio, it must be a boutique, at least in terms of recording quality.

The first recording was on April [-]th. The three of them first went to the record company, and then were sent to the recording studio by Numata.It was the first time to work in a top recording studio, whether it was Mihe-chan or her two little friends, they were a little bit excited.

This kind of hurrying is similar to walking into the room of the longing girl.

Not only is the equipment top-notch, but the team they work with is also top-notch. For Miwa-chan, working with a top-notch team is a pleasure, but for Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura, two half-behind-the-scenes people, the process of working with a top-notch team is also a pleasure. It can become a process of learning and learning, and this is one of the sources of excitement when I came to the Shinano studio to record.

After the equipment was adjusted, Meihejiang walked into the recording room opposite.

She put on her monitor headphones and stood in front of the microphone.The sound engineer instructed her to try the microphone.

The top recording studio seemed similar to the recording studio she had been to before, but it was different from the recording studio she had been to before.

Meihechan looked at the opposite glass wall, and the sound engineer gave her a start gesture.

She was in a good mood, like a child, and said, "Hi, How're You Doin'?"

……

The recording was made in the Shinano-cho studio, and the post-production was scheduled to take place in Fukuni. Taking this opportunity, the wealthy CBS Sony even arranged an overseas trip at public expense.

When they learned of such an arrangement, Meihejiang excitedly went to check the passport, and was very excited about this public tour.Even though the recording has just started, I have already mentally prepared to travel abroad.

Compared with Miwa-chan's excitement, Iwahashi Shinichi was much calmer. After confirming that the trip to the country would last for a week, the first thing he had to do was to arrange the work during the time he was not in Japan in advance.

The single "17 Years Old" is scheduled to be released on April 28th. At this stage, the production of the single is completed and it is just before the release, which happens to be a short period of time.

However, by the time they go to the country of corruption, the production of the second single will probably be in the middle of the process, and at that time, they can only coordinate with Chisato Moritaka first.

The performance of this single determines whether the road that Shinichi Iwahashi planned for her can continue, whether GENZO as a production company can have the first work, and also, to some extent, determines whether Mori Gaoqianli's future.

Iwahashi Shinji no longer intervened in the cover album contract with Tokyo Music Industry Co., Ltd., which is still going on now, and handed it over to others to practice.

It’s about producing a single for the winners of the band Heaven, and it’s still uncertain whether new winners will be eliminated during his absence. , and with Hirakawa Tatsuya and others playing support, it won't be a problem to support it.

However, this is okay for the time being, but it will not work in the long run.Therefore, the next important thing for GENZO is to recruit new blood.

Especially after DREAMS COME TRUE signed a contract with CBS Sony, Miwa-chan and Masato Nakamura's songs will be more troublesome to use. Among other things, a royalty payment to CBS Sony is indispensable.

Although before using the songs of these two people, you have to pay the usage fee, but compared to the previous friendship price, the current price is a bit too heavy for GENZO.In this way, now it is equivalent to losing two composers at once.

Therefore, not only producers, but also songwriters must actively recruit.
