Chapter 234 Want to collaborate on a single again?
Facing his apology, Mari Nishimoto showed a subtle, "Not important" smile, and Mire Takahashi, who was more familiar with him, replied: "It doesn't matter, Miss Nishimoto and I have just arrived not long ago."
Ye Zhao wanted to provide music for MANISH. Shortly after he made this proposal to Nagato Daiyuki, he informed the two of them that the official title song was delivered to them a month ago and the recording began.
In theory, it is just a song that is just a song. Even if you don’t meet the singer himself, it doesn’t matter if you just send the song over. For most composers and lyricists, the songs they write to the singer are “blind marriage and mute”. Unless they serve as producers or have agreed to participate from the beginning, even if they meet in the early stage, they rarely follow the entire shed.
Although many singers from BEING are singing Oda Tetsuro's songs very ordinary, they will not see Oda Tetsuro most of the time, let alone let Oda Tetsuro come over to supervise them.
However, the cooperation with MANISH is slightly different, that is, this cooperation is not just as simple as providing them with songs, but rather, we must jointly record this single under the name of "MANISH with AKIRA".
This form of cooperation is somewhat different from the previous ones created with Masaji Fukuyama. In the singles with Masaji Fukuyama, Ye Sho and Masaji Fukuyama each provide a new song, and their own songs are also the lead singers. But in this single, Ye Sho plays a role just in the green leaves that accompanies the song.
To give a word from Chestnut, it is approximately equivalent to WANDS, who stands behind Miho Nakayama, who contributes harmony in the song "Who in the World".
The person who came up with this idea was naturally a blessing for Nagato. He hoped to take advantage of the topic of this cooperation to let Ye Zhao help "milk" with MANISH so that they can break through the current bottleneck and take the lead to a new level. Otherwise, if Ye Zhao himself was just like him, he would never take too much work for himself and take the initiative to mention the collaborative single for others to be a green leaf.
Although he is a bit suspicious of adding more life to others without authorization, since he proposed the confession himself, he will be a good person to do it to the end and be a handful of green leaves.
When MANISH debuted, the BEING dynasty was established. Despite this, although the predecessors expanded their territory in the music industry and created one glory after another, as juniors, they were still lukewarm and could not keep up with the footsteps of their predecessors.
Not only do they, including bands such as BAAD, ZYYG, REV, and other bands that were at the same time as them or who debuted later, have not achieved very good results in business.
At its peak, it was impossible to launch a first-line band. In a sense, this also released a signal: while BEING's momentum reached its peak, the public was also tired of his assembly line music style.
As for the MANISH combination alone, at first glance, the overall strength is very strong. First of all, both members are beauties selected from one in a hundred, and they are all first-class in terms of height and appearance. In the entertainment industry, although they are powerful players, being pretty is definitely an advantage.
Otherwise, when B’z’s boss Matsumoto would not have set a standard for selecting a partner when he decided to form a band, he would be beautiful... and then he chose a beautiful partner (companion) like Hiroshi Inaba.
In addition, Mire Takahashi, who is the lead singer, has a high voice and clear voice, which combines the advantages of Okuro Moji and Sakai Izumizu. The keyboardist Mari Nishimoto has superb performance skills and composition skills.
To be strong and capable, to be beautiful, logically speaking, although such two powerful members dare not expect to be a female version of B’z, they should not be limited to their current second-rate status, and they simply disappeared afterwards, which troubled fans by the two questions of "Why isn't MANISH popular? Where did the members go afterwards?"
Even though Ye Zhao was not a fan of MANISH, he had troubled these two questions in his previous life. When he came here and was actually in this environment, he had close contact with the two members, and he got some answers.
Judging from the actual situation, although Mari Nishimoto can write music, the quality of the music is not stable enough and it is difficult to continuously output good songs. The only popular single "Capture the Shining Moment" was written by Mika Kawashima.
(Mika Kawashima is similar to Seiichiro Kurirabashi. She is not as popular as a singer. She has written many popular songs for others, but she cannot become famous regardless of whether she debuts alone or form a band. It can be seen that what determines the fate of a singer is not only talent and beauty, but also the so-called luck and star aura.)
Similarly, Mire Takahashi, who serves as the lead singer and lyricist, does not have the aura of lyricist Sakai Izumizu and Uesugi Tsuke in lyrics.
The reason why ZARD and the early WANDS bands were able to break through the siege was the lyrics.
In the lyrics of ZARD and WANDS, there is a complete and unique worldview of ZARD and WANDS. Such a complete and unique worldview is precisely the most important thing that MANISH lacks. Therefore, MANISH cannot stand out from many similar style combinations and gain public attention and long-term support.
In addition to these things that Ye Zhao had analyzed in his mind, when he actually worked with Mire Takahashi and Mari Nishimoto, Ye Zhao also discovered a very important problem in the two. That is, the relationship between these two people is a little bit subtle.
This subtlety does not mean that the relationship between the two people is very bad. The air around them will automatically cool down ten degrees when they meet, but rather a so-called dissonance of aura. When they get together, even if they look at each other, they will smell like a combination of appearance and separation.
In fact, for the band, there are not many people who really have a good relationship so good that they eat, live and go out together every day, or in other words, there are many more people with mediocre relationships than those with good relationships.
In order to ensure that the band can maintain a long time, many band members will deliberately keep a distance, just be ordinary colleagues, and they will not even call a private phone call except for work.
