Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 879 879. National Band
In the semi-annual singles list in the first half of the year, in the top ten, DREAMS COME TRUE got No.4 and No.6 respectively.This ranking looks mediocre...

However, the single that sold to No. 4 was released at the end of last year.

That is to say, after a year, last year's single also entered the top five of this year's semi-annual chart and sold more than 40 copies.The cumulative sales in two years are more than 80 copies, linking up with the super-sold popularity of "Eyes to me", directly throwing off other singers by a large margin.

The No.6 single on the semi-annual list is the single "Ring! Ring! Ring!" released in March this year.

After two consecutive singles used songs composed by Brother Nakamura, the main creation of this single was handed over to Miwa-chan.There is another special reason for this.This single is an advertisement song commissioned by an advertiser.

And the entrusted manufacturer used the band's debut single "So Happy!"so happy!Really like! "Glico as a commercial song.

Use "So Happy!"so happy!Really like! ", the band had just debuted and hadn't gained much popularity yet.In order for Glico to use the band's single, the record company opened a big bargain, and didn't even charge for the use of the single.

Now that the band is very popular, it would be a good thing if Glico came to invite him to cooperate with him.

The person in charge of the commercial song is DREAMS COME TRUE, and the heroine who was hired to shoot the commercial is Miyazawa Rie.Two years ago, "So Happy!"so happy!Really like! ", the heroine is her.Such a match is naturally intentional by Glico.

In the past two years, DREAMS COME TRUE has been a top-notch band, and Miyazawa Rie has also starred in TV dramas and released a single that sold at No. [-] on the charts. He is a super popular new star. ...Although her singing skills were so disastrous that even a tuner with an annual salary of tens of millions couldn't save her, she won the championship that many singers dream of by relying on her popularity.

Now that the band has become popular, the cooperation treatment this time is quite different.Glico paid quite generous royalties for this commercial song.Of course, the condition is to write a song similar to "So Happy!"so happy!Really like! "The song.

After getting homework and debuting for the third year, Meihejiang, who can be regarded as a mature musician—although she still relies on a cappella to compose music—has not racked her brains as much as before, and turned in her homework early as a top student.It's another song that rushes forward in one go, making people listen to the exciting song.

However, although she went well when composing the music, when she was producing, in the recording studio, she had a big fight with Brother Nakamura over the arrangement. The production was suspended, and Yanqiao Shinichi was moved to fight the fire.

...Sure enough, a triangle relationship is the most stable relationship.

When this single was released, DREAMS COME TRUE was about to repay Fuji Film’s sponsorship last year, in preparation for holding a reception concert, and Shinichi Iwahashi had to deal with the sub-label cooperation with Stardust. , very busy.As a result, the whole single did not appear on TV to promote it, only all members appeared on the stage and participated in an issue of "MUSIC STATION".

This single is the first single after the band's reorganization, and the Giraffe Man was not absent from the production or shooting of the cover and inside pages.Not only that, but his name is also printed on the producer column.

Looking at it this way, it has not changed at all since before the announcement of the band's restructuring.

And that's what the band and the team are doing on purpose.After sending out the draft, at least for a period of time, you must pay special attention to the form of the TV appearance.You can let Miwa-chan or Nakamura-san appear on TV separately, but to appear at the same time, the giraffe man must also be present.Otherwise, it would be better to reduce the TV publicity and change the publicity method to the form of advertisement, radio, and matching theme songs of film and television dramas.

The publicity campaign for this single is not too big, and, with "So Happy!"so happy!Really like! "Before, this single is not so fresh.In addition, considering that last year there was a million-dollar single and an 80-level single, in order to let the single's popularity relax, it deliberately did not promote too much.

But even so, even with these few unfavorable factors, when the half-year chart is counted, this single still won No.6, sold 37 copies, and it can sell a few casually. billion yen in sales.

However, when making this Glico commercial song, it gave Iwahashi Shinichi an inspiration.

When the band was in its infancy, Glico used the band's single.Today, the band is very popular, and once again cooperates with Glico, who once supported him... such a good talk, if you don't make good use of it, you will not be the best rock-climbing Shinichi Iwahashi.

He discussed with Glico through the team of the record company and proposed a plan:
From now on, the band will cooperate with Glico once a year, and write a new song specially for Glico as an advertisement song, highlighting the idea of ​​"Glico's insight, DREAMS COME TRUE and Glico grow together".

Once the cooperation plan was negotiated, within a few years, DREAMS COME TRUE had a reserved promotional spot, plus a sponsor for the concert.

……

In the top ten of the singles chart in the first half of the year, DREAMS COME TRUE occupied two seats.But on the album list, there is no sign of the band in the top ten.

The reason for this is, of course, because the band's original album this year has not yet been released when the semi-annual chart is counted.

However, there is no original album by the band this year in the top ten of the semi-annual list. The band's two albums from last year and the year before have appeared on the semi-annual list at the same time. By the time of release, it can be said to be a sales miracle.

Not only on the album list, but also on the six-month singles list, you can still see the song "Eyes to me" at No. 40.

After the explosion of popularity last year, the public began to tutor the band's previously released works, which is why all the albums released by the band entered the semi-annual list, such a grand occasion.The long-term sales of old albums that have been released for a long time are a manifestation of the fact that the band's audience is still expanding and the number of people interested in the band is still increasing.

This is a more remarkable situation than having an original album enter the top ten of the semi-annual chart.What's more, the reason why it didn't enter the front row of the list is just because it hasn't been released yet.

Just looking at the sales performance of old albums, one can guess how "scary" it would be if the band released a new album at this moment.

The semi-annual rankings for the first half of the year have just been counted, and DREAMS COME TRUE's original album this year has also been released as scheduled.In the first week of release, 28 copies were sold, and with a tick of a finger, BOLAN, who ranked No.10 in the semi-annual list and sold more than 30 copies, can be pulled down.

In the next few weeks, I will watch DREAMS COME TRUE, who has sharpened his knife, cut down the opponents one by one.

When the first week's sales come out, let the whole industry make way for DREAMS COME TRUE.It even scared the singer who will release the album next week to temporarily reschedule, just to avoid this monster band.

With the accumulation of word-of-mouth in the past two years, now, "DREAMS COME TRUE must be a high-quality product" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the public.In terms of sales of singles, they are much better than the band, but when it comes to sales of albums, the band can be said to be firmly at the top.

The album sells well, which shows that the band's popularity is stable and its popularity is high.

It doesn’t matter if the band debuted at the same time as the band, or the band debuted a little later... No matter what band, there is no doubt that in this round of band craze, DREAMS COME TRUE is the first to touch the "national level" threshold.

Now, away from the "big thing band", only a few years of qualifications.Even, although it can't be called "Big Things Band" on the surface, the treatment in all aspects has already been on par with "Big Things".

As soon as the sales of the new album came out in the first week, some small articles even appeared in the newspapers, saying that "DREAMS COME TRUE is so strong, I am afraid that other companies in the industry will avoid it", and here they avoid it, so It means that when determining the release date, avoid releasing it on the same day as DREAMS COME TRUE.

For such a small composition, it is hard to say whether other companies deliberately bought such a draft to praise it.However, none of the people who read the short essays were led to think about something, only nodded. DREAMS COME TRUE is so popular, other singers want to win the championship and keep the record, isn't it the most basic thing to go around the band?
As long as it's red enough, no matter if it's an acid or a trick, let alone hurt the band, you can't even get close.

……

The band of the GENZO series is so beautiful that Iwahashi Shinichi is full of energy. DREAMS COME TRUE was the best, and of course Shinichi Iwahashi was filled with joy.

The band promoted by the company has been a big success, so it has the confidence to expand.As DREAMS COME TRUE, which he first dreamed of, marched towards the national level, Shinichi Iwahashi also felt that "dreams come true".

If he hadn't met Mihe-chan and formed DREAMS COME TRUE, his "dreams would not have come true".

From last year to this year, DREAMS COME TRUE has sold so much that the three members of the band have lost their hands in receiving royalties.Compared with a luxurious life, if you want to quickly let the money in your hand accompany you in another form, there is nothing better than investing.The reason why the LIVEHOUSE chain of the three partners can expand with such fanfare is deeply related to the fact that the band has indeed made too much money.

Several major metropolitan areas have their LIVEHOUSE chains, and Meihejiang can't wait to open a branch back to his hometown in Hokkaido, so as to provide the best performance venue for the musicians in his hometown.

"The best performance venue", this is what Mihe-chan said.

For the reception concert of Fuji Film, the band also went to those big cities respectively.Knowing that Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka have LIVE HOUSE invested by them, Mihe-chan will go to perform in these cities, so I can't help but want to see it.

Or for her, every time she goes to their LIVEHOUSE, she feels like returning to her own territory.

Therefore, after finishing the entertainment performances in Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka, and returning to Tokyo, after seeing Shinichi Iwahashi, Miwa-chan couldn't wait to share her experience of the LIVEHOUSE tour with Shinichi Iwahashi.

After several local reception performances, so far, there is only the last reception concert at Fujifilm, which will be held in Tokyo at the end of July.

Although the time span of the reception concert is a bit long, in fact the number of performances is not many, but it is more or less in line with the arrangement of Fujifilm, so the time interval between each performance is also extended.

In the LIVEHOUSE chain run by three people in partnership, except for the stores in Tokyo and Osaka, Shinichi Iwahashi, who visited more times, Shinichi Iwahashi visited the other three stores when they opened. The specific operations are managed by professionals. , with Mine Island top in charge in front.At this moment, Ting Mei and Jiang came back to talk about some experience, which made him listen with gusto.

As soon as Yanqiao Shen was happy to hear it, Miwa-chan was not happy——

I'm not happy that he is so unfamiliar with the store he opened, and he deliberately wants to confront him.This little fox with a mouse and a gun will never change his mischievous nature at any time.

In order not to fall into the trap of talking to her about frying soybeans and becoming a cross talk show, Shinichi Iwahashi quickly changed the subject and chatted with her about the scene of the reception concert.

Meihejiang was full of ambition, and said "The performance is perfect!" After saying it, remembering that this is the concert where the giraffe man was absent, she stared at Shinichi Iwahashi's face, rolled her eyes, and added another sentence.

"Only Masato-san and I have a 150-point system. When Shinichi-kun participates, it will become a [-]-point system."

Yanqiao Shinichi couldn't help laughing, "He's pretty good at talking."

The mouth is teasing, but the heart is actually warm and happy.She understands that she wants to ease his heart and let him know that the band's performance is going well, and also wants to tell him how important he is.

Meihejiang can accept any compliment with pleasure, with a complacent expression that is impolite, if there is a big fox tail, it will definitely be swaying behind her at this moment, "I have always been so understanding."

"..." It's really a model of panting when you say she is fat.

The specialty of this little fox is that he is full of good intentions and good words, but he can make good words and good intentions less credible by virtue of his superb tail cocking skills.

Yanqiao Shen nodded, "This time, I am really understanding."

"It's always been like this." Meihejiang emphasized.

Yanqiao Shenyi secretly thought, "Only the phrase 'always' has the most moisture".

He secretly poked at this, Meihechan stared at his face, showing an expression of disgust, and commented seriously, "Shen Yi-kun is definitely thinking about something very disgraceful."

"..." Yanqiao Shen was a little angry at first.

Meihejiang continued to fan the flames, "Ha!" with a high-spirited voice, like Heisei Holmes who just solved a big case, and said triumphantly, "This appearance is what I said, right?"

Yanqiao Shen sighed, "It's amazing."

As long as you admit defeat quickly, Meihejiang's arrogance of being unreasonable and unreasonable will disappear quickly.She smiled and looked at Yanqiao Shinichi's face again and again, as if admiring her defeated opponent.

Finally, having had enough appreciation and complacency, she leaned over from the chair, stretched out her hand, and patted Shinichi Iwahashi on the shoulder, without saying anything, just humming with her nose and walking away, hearing that it was her own creation. What tune.

Half of Yanqiao Shinichi couldn't help her, and the other half made her laugh at her optimistic appearance.

"Say something else." He interrupted.

Miwa-chan sat back, resting her chin on her elbow, waiting for Shinichi Iwahashi's next words.

"Say something else." Yanqiao Shinichi said again.

Meihejiang repeated, "Tell me something else."

"I mean……"

She nodded, pretending to be stupid, "That's right, Mr. Shen Yi, please say something else."

"..."
