Chapter 24 A great success

 After bidding farewell to Akina Nakamori that day, when Narita Masaru returned to Dajun, the Christmas special performance had already ended. He spent the rest of the night "having fun" with the idols. As for the effect of the performance, he was really not sure. So he hid in the darkness

Inside, he concentrated on observing the expressions of the audience who were leaving the venue.

Some people haven't left yet, and they find the waiter with unfinished thoughts. They know that there are no vacancies in the karaoke box, but they still have a glimmer of hope and want to sing to their heart's content in the second half of the night.

Some people waited until the music started playing again and crowded into the dance floor excitedly. They would not stop until they had a good dance, thinking of playing until the Maharaja closed and going to KFC to enjoy breakfast. Since 1974, KFC has continued to offer "Christmas"

"Activity Advertisement", in the 1980s, the concept of "eating KFC on Christmas" had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and had become a fixed tradition of Japanese Christmas.

There were also people who left the scene in a hurry. They were either office workers or "bad boys" pretending to be adults, but their faces were undoubtedly filled with substantial happiness.

Whether they are young people who grabbed tickets in advance, or idols and reporters who were invited to the scene, they all realized how incredible the beauty of music is.

The short-lived beauty completed by the singer transforms a certain period of time into pure duration. It brings people happiness without hesitation and without repetition. Although the duration of this happiness is as short-lived as floating, it is the perfect abstraction of life itself and is

Create.

There is nothing more similar to life than music.

The next day, reports about the Christmas celebrations flooded in. Some department stores had sold out their Christmas gift packages, and some family restaurants were very popular. Fortunately, the Christmas show was successfully held.

The Maharaja also has a place on the entertainment board.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about things like fame and popularity. As the most luxurious and fashionable disco in Roppongi, Dajun has already made a name for itself. The underground music bands and original singers who participated in the performance have also attracted the attention of some record companies.

Even taking advantage of this momentum, the "Original Sun Band", which was the first to appear, also received many notices for commercial performances.

Since it was the first time for such a performance to be held, Narita Masaru did not discuss the live recording with the record company, but after that, some small companies responsible for audio and video production and discovery submitted applications to participate in the live recording of the New Year's performance.

Although the scale of the New Year's performance is not as good as that of Christmas, the quality of the performance is not inferior. Narita Masaru is prepared for this. These "Yakuza" under him have no experience at all in contacting record companies, so they are busy before

He will do all the planning after being busy.

Having said that, Narita Katsu has no intention of recording live in a short period of time. It is too early to start selling CDs rashly, and there is a high probability that the king will not make a lot of money. No matter what, he must first be motivated.

It would be better to arouse widespread public attention and release the CD as if you were forced to do so.

"My Majesty, it's been crowded these days, and I see you've been holding back what you want to say. How about our Christmas performance?" Narita Masaru was checking the bill when he saw Koike Min walked to the desk, so he laughed.

"You are really good at knowing things." When it comes to performances, no one has more experience than Koike Min. From selecting the performance list to maintaining the order of the scene, he knows the entire process. During the rehearsal, he presided over it again and again.

The whole scene was so intense that Koike was unable to do anything during the last rehearsal, but after seeing the grand performance with his own eyes, he felt extremely proud of the king.

When asked by Narita Katsu, Koike Toshi found an opportunity to express his feelings.

"I know, Minjun did a great job. This performance was successful because of your greatest contribution."

The "black-hearted boss" praised him generously, but he had no other thoughts except accepting it calmly.

Regarding Koike Min's personal opinions, they were all trivial. After hastily speaking, he immediately got to the point, "The next time such a large-scale performance is held, it should be Valentine's Day in February next year."

"That's right, as soon as the New Year is over, we have to decide on the theme of the performance immediately, so that we can have time to create a powerful advertisement for the Maharaja."

What is Maharaja’s limited performance?

At this moment, the people who went to see the performance that night had different answers to this question in their hearts, but no matter how big the differences were, when gathered together, they would become countless budding seeds.

, waiting for the opportunity to take root.

The so-called disco music performance requires people to personally feel the warm atmosphere of the scene in a closed and dark environment. This is Narita Masaru's core concept of promoting Maharaja to passers-by. At the same time, during his participation, he learned from people's enthusiasm

In fact, he has found the most important thing, which is the goal of his future actions.

"Even so, there are still many shortcomings in the Christmas performance, but I should be satisfied if I can achieve this effect in a short period of time." The performance was a success, and the morale of the employees at the top and bottom was greatly boosted, but Narita Masaru deliberately poured water on him.

Leng Shui went over, "First of all, the rehearsal was a bit rushed beforehand, and the order of the performances didn't quite fit together. In fact, I noticed this problem during the rehearsal, but we couldn't find a suitable singer to replace it at that time."

"The actual situation is that the enthusiasm of the singers covers up these shortcomings. If we really talk about it, the problem still lies with our king." Koike Min lowered his head and pondered, revealing the meaning of Narita Masaru's words.

"That's right."

The singers who were invited by the Maharaja were full of energy and worked harder than ever during rehearsals. They arrived early, practiced by themselves, and read the lyrics loudly and silently after returning home.

Some singers are not very famous, and are even newbies in the underground music circle. The reason why they are appreciated by the Maharaja is only because of their own talents, rather than buying performance qualifications through so-called connections. So they immerse themselves in performing.

There is no one like Hot Pillow, and it is their enthusiasm that has earned them this reuse.

Speaking of the performance itself, the new singers are not shy or pretentious on stage. Not only do they not have stage fright in front of the public, but they will perform better because there are people watching. They can be selfless and immersed in any occasion.

In music. From this point of view, it can be said that Narita Masaru has a vicious vision when it comes to selecting singers.

Without further ado, we took advantage of the opportunities to hold performances in major Live Houses at the end of the year to find new singer candidates. At the same time, Narita Sheng also received self-recommendations from some singers who came here. On the table were several pairs of widely active singers.

Resumes of singers at underground music festivals. After reviewing the bills, he looked through the information of these bands and original singers in turn.

Singers who dare to recommend themselves, excluding a small number of people who are overly exaggerated and confident, are pretty good. But just having strength is not enough. Now that the idol era is reaching its peak, the idol style has naturally spread to other fields. A band's lead singer is more than

You need a good voice, and you also have to have an appearance that makes young people crazy.

Although the strength ranks first, how they look directly affects the audience of the fan group. Handsome men and women can leave a deep first impression on people, which also makes people more willing to pay for their performances. So when promoting

, we should use the banner of "idol band" to gain popularity among idols.

But if your appearance is not outstanding, if you want to survive in the fiercely competitive Japanese music industry, you can only adopt the path of "dressing in strange clothes" or "singer-songwriter".

There are not many bands that can have a handsome lead singer, and there are even fewer bands that are as successful as "Fanggezi Band". After reading the singer's information, Narita Masaru deliberately made a big difference in the singers' costumes and makeup.

Article. In short, it should be more consistent with the style of the king who focuses on "high-end" and "luxury", for example, imitating the current hot "Holy Muscle Demon Band".

Of course, it's not just a matter of copying and pasting their styles like heavy metal and hell demons, but drawing on their unique performance style.

Continuous transformation and innovation are the characteristics of the newly born Daikun. With 1985 as the watershed, the traditional Shinjuku discotheques gradually declined, and on the other side, Roppongi, headed by the unconventional Daijun, began to rise. In fact, staying true to the status quo is not

It's an easy thing. Shinjuku still maintains stable performance, but in this era, their achievements seem relatively modest.
