309. Gentle gaze
After the third episode of the band Kingdom of Heaven ended, it was White Day in two days.
On this day, from the morning, it was windy, and then in the evening, it rained again, and it was cold outside. But even so, the cold rain can't extinguish the enthusiasm of people in love, just as the cold rain can't extinguish the torch in the hands of couples who go to die and die.
It's evenly matched.
As soon as the clock reached five o'clock, Masato Nakamura began to prepare for retreat.
Miwa Yoshida didn't raise her head, wrote and drew with a pencil in her hand, and complained: "I didn't expect Masato-san to have such a strong enthusiasm for this festival promoted by the merchants." β
Countries all over the world that celebrate White Day so solemnly are made up of the White Day thing.
Masato Nakamura didn't care about the complaints from Miwa-chan, and said with a smile: "The festival that is promoted is the festival that is promoted." Even if there is no 'White Day', there will be 'Purple Valentine'. β
To put it bluntly, these couples just want to seize the opportunity to show their affection.
Ms. Cui Ping not only gave people the courage to confess and told everyone that there is no such thing, but also ruthlessly exposed the couple's idea that "in fact, I love the right person, and Valentine's Day is celebrated every day".
Miwa Yoshida raised her head, "Then, I wish Masato-san and his girlfriend LOVELOVE a holiday." β
Masato Nakamura happily accepted the blessing and boasted about it by the way: "For White Day, I also wrote a song for her." When you rack your brains when filling in the words, the effect must be good. β
"Hay, Hay. β
Miwa Yoshida remembered his masterpiece of lyrics "one two three, four, rhyme together, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss three times", and silently put Masato Nakamura in the category of "feeling good about himself" in his heart.
In the past few days, Shinichi Iwahashi has been preoccupied with the production of Chisato Moritaka's new single, rarely appearing in the studio, and handing over the arrangement of the new song "LAT.43Β°N ~forty-three degrees north latitude~" to be performed by the band Tenkoku in the fourth installment, and he will come back for joint practice at about the same time.
The song chosen, with such a long title, was complained about by Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura: "What kind of strange song title is this?"
"43 degrees north latitude is 43 degrees north latitude. Miwa Yoshida said, "43 degrees north latitude is Sapporo, and it was originally written about long-distance love." β
She is the lyricist, she has the final say, and the name of the song is up to her.
......
Masato Nakamura doesn't care what Miwa Chan thinks in his heart, and happily enjoys his two-person world. As soon as he left, Miwa Yoshida was left in the studio.
She put on her headphones and listened to the tunes written by Masato Nakamura over and over again, contemplating lyrics that could be filled in.
During this time, Miwa Yoshida suddenly learned how to write lyrics to tunes written by others, learned not to read music, and knew nothing about music theory, so he did things intuitively, which made this work quite difficult.
Learning to write lyrics to other people's tunes has been teaching her since the band was formed, and this time, the band's heavenly competition is going well, and the debut is just around the corner, which makes this work even more urgent.
If the whole band were to make its mainstream debut, it would be too capricious and not a long-term solution if the entire band relied entirely on her innate inspiration.
Rather than knowing when inspiration will come and go, professional, traceable music production is more reassuring and can ensure that the band will continue for a long time.
Best-selling songs seem to be popular, but in fact, there are rules that can be found in which period and what structure of songs are more likely to sell well.
And such a law is difficult to touch by Miwa Yoshida, who relies on talent.
Immersed in his own world, the pencil in his hand was written and crossed, changed and changed.
Finally, Miwa Yoshida let out a heartfelt sigh and wrote the last line. I took off my headphones, hummed the lyrics book, and after confirming that everything was correct, I said to the studio where I was the only one: "It's done." β
No one responded with a "Great!", but the hunger in her stomach was afraid that she would feel lost because she didn't get a response, and rashly attacked her.
Looking at my watch, it was almost eight o'clock.
"So late?"
Miwa Yoshida muttered, packed up her things, and left the studio.
......
In the evening, the rain had stopped, but the air was wet and cold.
Miwa Yoshida walks alone on the street, occasionally passing by couples who are walking together. She was in a good mood, humming a song in her nose, and walked into the restaurant that the three of them frequented.
Lift the warm curtain, this time, the store is not too busy. The boss had known her for a long time and greeted her: "Are you coming alone today?"
"Yes. Miwa Yoshida smiled, not taking the matter of eating alone to heart at all, "It's too cold today, so I really want to eat the miscellaneous stew made by the boss." β
"The weather was unusually good this spring...... However, there have been cases of snow at this time of year in previous years. The boss quickly prepared what she ordered.
"Speaking of which," he said, looking at Miwa Yoshida, "are you part of the band Heaven?"
Miwa Yoshida was not surprised at all, nor did she feel that this question was abrupt, so she naturally replied: "Yes." β
"I just said that when I watch TV, I feel like it. The boss said, "The name of the band is Dorimuzcom, right?"
"That's right!" Miwa Yoshida smiled widely.
"The night before, a customer who came to the store asked me to tune in to the TV on the Asahi platform. The boss said, "It's a pleasure to watch your show." My son compliments you on how cute you are. β
"Yes, thank you!" was complimented, and even Miwa Yoshida smiled.
Of course, before seeing them on TV, the owner of the store always thought that they were underground musicians who couldn't find a serious job and couldn't get a reputation.
Both sides know this, but no one will find fault with it.
"The two who often come with you are teammates, right?"
The boss chatted with her, "I also recognize Mr. bassist, but Mr. keyboardist wears a hood, is this the band's 'setting'?"
Out of his mouth, a word that did not look like a man of his age would speak, most likely from his son.
Miwa Yoshida did not answer either "yes" or "no", but diverted the topic and said, "For the next episode of the show, please also ask the boss to support me." β
"Of course. The boss smiled, "I was about to say, come on for the next episode." If you can make your debut, I'll have something to say. β
The ordered miscellaneous boil was served, and Miwa Yoshida took a bite of the steaming white radish, and was scalded again, but he still said, "It's delicious!"
......
"This sea bream dish is very good. β
"It was delicious. Iwahashi Shinichi tasted a little and agreed.
At this time, he was having dinner with the chubby young man Akimoto Yasu. White Day and Akimoto Yasushi eat together.,Well,It's just an ordinary entertainment.γ
This kind of festival marketed by merchants, how can the merchants themselves take it seriously.
Don't talk about White Day, it's Valentine's Day, office workers still have to do what they should do.
"Mr. Akimoto," the timing was about the same, and Shinichi Iwahashi brought up the incident again, "What do you think about providing the lyrics for Chisato Moritaka's C/W song?"
I met with Yasu Akimoto today to discuss the B-side of Chisato Moritaka's new single.
The A-side main song has decided to cover Nansha Weaving's "17 Years Old", and more than half of the progress in this regard has passed, but in terms of C/W songs, it has not yet been decided.
C/W song, there is a little bit of a bonus in it, the importance is not comparable to the A-side title song, many singers, the A-side song is carefully selected, and the B-side song is almost the same.
As far as Chisato Moritaka is concerned, since the A-side song is a cover, then the B-side song needs to be used as a little supplement, and it is not perfunctory.
The B-side song was selected from the Warner Pioneer music library, and in terms of lyrics, Shinichi Iwahashi once again thought of the chubby young man Yasu Akimoto.
The reason why I thought of him first was not because I only knew this one lyricist, but because the theme of the B-side song he had set was probably handy if it was written by this fat young man.
When making "17 Years Old", the coincidences about "17" one after another convinced the whole team that it was a good idea to choose this song for cover.
At that time, the executive producer of Chisato Moritaka said, "It's a pity that Moritaka is nineteen years old, if it is seventeen, it would be a perfect coincidence." β
As a result, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care, "If the coincidence is perfect to that extent, it will seem somewhat deliberate." It's a little more interesting. β
"And, nineteen, like seventeen, is a very interesting age. β
Seventeen years old is between adults and teenagers, and they will be mature and immature. In the case of adulthood at the age of twenty, the age of nineteen is the final "immature period".
After crossing the threshold of 19 years old and participating in the completion of the human pose, everything will be very different.
When I first met Miwa-chan, Shinichi Iwahashi was nineteen years old, and at that time, Miwa-chan also made such a high statement about him, and once he passed nineteen, he entered twenty and became a real adult.
What about a not-so-perfect seventeen-year-old coincidence?
This nineteen-year-old, who is as special as seventeen, still has a lot of room to play.
I've only been a kitten club.,Wrote a lot of lyrics full of girls' hearts.,People suspect that he actually lives in his heart a girl's chubby young man Yasuya Akimoto.,For the subtleties of this age, he must also grasp the subtleties quite exquisitely.,It can be said that Iwahashi Shinichi is the most proficient lyricist who can write about girls.γ
Besides, please write the lyrics of the B-side song, in addition to money, you have to have some face.
Yasuya Akimoto may not be the most proficient lyricist at writing about girls, but he is a lyricist that Shinichi Iwahashi knows and has a bit of face with him.
So, after deciding on the theme, he called Yasushi Akimoto's office.
The chubby young man Akimoto Yasu did not reply immediately, but asked him to come out for dinner and an interview together.
At this time, hearing Iwahashi Shinichi mention the matter again, Yasu Akimoto thought for a while, "This Moritaka Chisato is the girl who provided her with the lyrics last time?"
"Yes. When Iwahashi heard him ask, he felt a little bottom in his heart.
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a bit of fate.
At the beginning, when he took over Chisato Moridaka, the lyrics of the title song of the first single he produced were written by Yasushi Akimoto. When I went to ask Yasushi Akimoto, Shinichi Iwahashi casually talked about the program plan for the ghost card reality show.
This plan allowed Yasu Akimoto to regain his confidence, postponed his original plan to study in the United States, stayed in Yumoto, and started the program with Fuji TV.
During this time, Shinichi Iwahashi was also called to several private gatherings with Fuji TV producers to talk about some details about the showβhe came up with the idea, and even if it was casually raised, his opinion was very informative.
Now, the show is scheduled to air in April, late at night on Tuesday.
By the time the show started, Shinichi Iwahashi would be considered a person who had programs related to himself on two TV stations at the same time. Although one only contributed an idea, it was not as involved as the other.
But even so, even if he was not on the cast list after the broadcast, the producers of Fuji TV already had his name.
"That's kind of fun. Akimoto Yasushi smiled, "If it weren't for Shin Yi-kun asking me to write lyrics for her, I wouldn't have heard such an interesting idea from you, and it's thanks to her." β
"No, it's still the credit of Mr. Akimoto and everyone in the production bureau who was able to make the trip. β
Yasu Akimoto accepted this politeness and asked, "What kind of lyrics do you want to write?"
If you can ask this, things will be more than half stable. Iwahashi Shinichi then shared his thoughts and asked, "What does Akimoto-sensei think?"
"The theme is '19 years old'. Akimoto narrowed his eyes.
After thinking about it, "For Shen Yijun's idea, Senri Moritaka is the so-called 'introduction to words'." If you want to calculate it like this, it's better to repay the favor of this introduction. β
"So?"
"Then send the song to my office, Shen Yijun. β
After eating a meal and coming out of the restaurant, Shinichi Iwahashi felt keen, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Akimoto glanced at him.
Iwahashi shook his head, "Nothing. "It just felt like someone was staring at him. However, when the two big men came out to eat, they were neither afraid of being robbed of their wealth nor of being robbed, and he did not take it to heart.
Akimoto didn't ask much, "I have other arrangements next, so I'll leave first." β
Shinichi Iwahashi agreed.
A taxi arrived, and Yasu Akimoto got into the car.
......
After the car started, Yasu Akimoto reported an address.
Today is White Day, and the promotional tricks of the candy merchant have turned into a sacred holiday in the hearts of couples. However, it is not so much that these people really believe in the sanctity of White Day, but that they have similar thoughts in their hearts as the candy merchants.
Candy merchants use White Day to promote gifts, and lovers use White Day to promote affection.
However, knowing that it is a trick of the merchant's promotion, the person who buys the gift is still very happy. Knowing that it is a man and a woman who take this opportunity to promote their relationship, at least they feel comfortable when they get it.
Yasushi Akimoto's mind was split in two.
On the one hand, there is oneself who looks at this kind of promotional trick coldly, and on the other hand, there is oneself who enjoys this promotional trick.
The taxi pulled onto the main road and sped up.
