1076. As for Akina, it would be better to be a mentor!(1/2)

.......

Within two days, audition advertisements for "The Sound of Neon" were spread out, in the folders of newspapers and magazines, on school bulletin boards, on KTV and nightclub posters, and in the gaps between Japanese TV programs~

The image of the hand holding the golden microphone alone made people know that this was a singer selection event.

"It's so attractive~" Akina sighed as she held a promotional leaflet at Yamasakura-in, "We will only blindly audition based on the singing voice. If you are selected, you can also form a team with a popular singer... In the end, you can

Signed a contract with Shuyou and got Naoki-san’s songs..."

She turned to Naoki Nagayama, her eyes sparkling,

"Naoki-san, how about I join in too?!"

"..." Naoki Nagayama was eating breakfast as usual, glanced at his wife and said, "If Akina wants to participate, she should also become a mentor..."

"Eh??" Akina chuckled a little, "Mentor? Me? Is it too junior?"

"After all, it is a show, and it still needs some gimmicks and highlights. If Akina's first comeback program is this audio series, I think it is very good...Diva Akina!"

"Singer? Is this too much...I will blush~"

Hey... obviously smiling very happily~

Akina and Nagayama Naoki have discussed their future music career, and they plan to focus on singers instead of idols...that is, they will release records and hold concerts, but they will not participate in so many announcements and variety shows.

However, "Neon Sound" is, after all, in the name of looking for potential singers, so Akina's participation is not in the capacity of an idol.

"However, the first period should be more stable..." Naoki Nagayama said, "The mentors for the first period are Sawada Kenji, Yoshida Takuro, Nakajima Miyuki and Saijo Hideki..."

These singers who have been working hard in the music industry for five to ten years, some are idol singers and some are singer-songwriters, and all of them are considered famous.

In fact, Naoki Nagayama even had the idea of ​​inviting Momoe Yamaguchi to come. It would definitely cause a sensation... But after thinking about it, forget it. She has a happy family, so there is no need to drag her into the entertainment industry.

The mud pit of the world.

"This issue is to build the brand of "Neon Sound". In the next issue, we can use more topical instructors, such as Ozaki Yutaka and Matsuda Seiko... to make the program more popular."

Naoki Nagayama said to Akina,

"The baby will be almost ready by then. If Akina wants to participate by then, she can become a mentor! Lead a team according to her own style..."

"Hmm~~~My own style...hehehehehehehehehahaha~...wuwuwuwu~"

As if she thought of something strange, Akina's snickering at the beginning turned into a bit arrogant...

Naoki Nagayama had to roll his eyes and cover his wife's mouth. The young pregnant woman who was about to give birth did not look stable at all!

"Akina, be more reserved!" Nagayama Naoki let go of his hand under Akina's confused gaze, "Don't smile so evilly!"

"...."

Then Nagayama Naoki was attacked by Akina's two-finger Zen and small fists, so that someone had to beg for mercy...

“Private Marseille~”

"...Hmph~" After Akina's revenge was completed, she continued to think about the scene when she was a mentor, "After I selected the team members, I asked them all to wear hip-hop kimonos and dance together on the stage!"

"..."

The planning for Akina's song "Passion" is ready, and even the hip-hop style singing costumes are ready. If it weren't for her pregnancy, it would have been recorded and sold early this year.

Nagayama Naoki also saw the early makeup photos and found them very interesting. The big gold chain and the Japanese kimono... the conflict between the two cultures is very impactful and eye-catching...

If it pops up on "Neon Sound", maybe it will really become popular!

"Akina, you should register the hip-hop kimono brand...and use it as a trendy clothing brand in the future..."

"What a great idea! I'll do it right away!"

Akina smiled and nodded. She originally liked designing clothes, and she already had a design studio. It would not be impossible to add a fashionable clothing brand. She also said she wanted to buy a clothing processing factory~

.......

After eating breakfast at home, Naoki Nagayama drove out.

Since July, his schedule has been very fixed.

In the morning, I had a leisurely breakfast at home and went out. I went to the Tree Friends Building to see the program preparations and the film editing progress...

Then go to the milk tea shop near the building to teach Tsuruko how to make new milk tea products...

Then I usually come back in the afternoon and take a walk with Akina, walk the dog, pet the cat...

Anyway, I feel very fulfilled at the end of the day!

"Naoki-san, morning~"

Yukinatsu Suzuki greeted Naoki Nagayama energetically.

"Good morning, Yukika-chan~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, but he was a little surprised that he didn't see Xingka Hana, "Haha-chan asked for leave today?"

"No." Suzuki Yuka shook his head, "Hana-chan took the postman to the conference room on the third floor..."

"?Postman?"

"Hi!" Suzuki Yukina explained, "DEMOs have started arriving one after another in the past two days, and this morning there were two large boxes. Hana-chan took the postman directly to the third floor..."

The third floor has set up a working group specifically for "The Sound of Neon", which is responsible for the earliest auditions, which are selected directly from the DEMO... Of course, it is impossible for several instructors to blindly audition from the beginning, otherwise all

There were so many participants in Neon that it took ten days and a half to listen to it...

During the blind audition stage of the recording program, there can be about fifty or sixty contestants.

"That's it..." Nagayama Naoki nodded, "I'll take a look..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hi~"

When Nagayama Naoki arrived on the third floor, he heard faint singing besides the elevator door... After all, this is not a special soundproof room, and there will definitely be sounds if you listen to music.

After pushing open the "Neon Sound" studio, noisy sounds suddenly flooded into my ears.

There is an employee sitting in seven or eight workstations. Each person has a player at his position, and they put in the demo after a demo, play it, listen to it for a while, and then take it out, sometimes for more than ten seconds.

, sometimes half a minute determines whether a registered player will stay or go...

It's impossible to wear headphones, and it's not to the point where you need to block out other noise and listen exclusively.

After the initial screening, there will be a higher-level screening, which will be selected by the team leader or music producer. Finally, the person in charge at the level of music director will select the contestants suitable for participating in the program recording, and then call them to come.

Come to Tokyo for recording.

"Naoki-san?"

Xing Jiahua came out of the temporary storage room with a postman pushing a trolley. When she saw Naoki Nagayama, she quickly said hello.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, Naoki-san!" "Naoki-san is here~" "Oh~" "....."

Then everyone who was listening to the tape paused and asked how they were doing. Even the postman said "good morning" in this atmosphere... As expected, Neon's gregarious culture is reflected in every detail.

at~

"Hmm, good morning~ There are still many DEMOs during this period, thank you for your hard work~"

Naoki Nagayama greeted everyone with a smile, and now he is at ease.

"Hua Jiang, are there many tapes delivered today?"

"Yes, after the publicity went out, a lot of people came that day. Now the tapes sent from other places should have arrived..." Xing Jiahua pointed to the postman Noda Haisei, "Noda-san said that the post office in Ikebukuro said it was still coming.

arrive."

"I caused trouble to the post office~" Naoki Nagayama apologized to the postman with a slight nod.

"No, no, this is the responsibility of the post office~"

Anyway, the post office charges money for mailing and door-to-door delivery, and entertainment companies like Shuyou are even bigger. There are already a lot of fan letters and packages from various artists... We have already established long-term cooperation~

Xing Jiahua took the postman out, while Nagayama Naoki walked around the workshop...

The first wave of audio tapes sent over can be said to be of all kinds, colorful, colorful...

The songs sung by the contestants are of different styles, some are soft folk songs, some are heavy metal rock...the kind that makes ghosts cry and wolves howl...

Some even came to join in the fun, recording a strange rap, and what kind of telephone answering machine, electric sizzling sound, silent mute...

If you hear it in the dead of night, you might think of the ringtone from "The Ring"...

Nagayama Naoki walked into the storage room and took a look. There were several cardboard boxes stacked against the wall. Maybe the entire storage room would be full in the future.

"If you recycle these tapes, you can make a lot of money..."

That's what he thought... These DEMOs have names, addresses, contact information and other information written on them. Although they don't need to be returned, they will be destroyed after special processing.

When walking out of the workshop, Naoki Nagayama happened to bump into producer Kazuhisa Fujiwara who had just rushed back from outside.

"Naoki-san?"

"Fujiwara-san, just came back from outside?" Nagayama Naoki greeted with a smile. Naturally, he had met producer Fujiwara Kazuhisa in the past two days.

"Hi, I came back from Japanese TV..." Fujiwara Kazuhisa is a trendy middle-aged man with semi-long hair. He looks like an artist at first glance, "There is something wrong with the decoration of the studio over there..."

"Oh? What's the problem in the studio?"
