Nakata went over to fiddle with the equipment, and the two men stood behind the console, watching him deftly maneuver the console.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at it carefully, and since he became a producer, he had to learn everything from the basics, and he didn't miss any opportunity to learn nutrients from professionals, even if it was something he knew, he would subconsciously see it.

Akina Nakamori seemed a little absent-minded, looking at the console, and then quietly looking at Shinichi Iwahashi, who was unaware of her gaze and focusing on the device, and his heart swelled with incredulity.

When we met by chance, how did I come up with the idea of inviting him to audition for Noboru Kato's sample?

Neither question was answered.

It's a bit inappropriate to say that this is reckless. However, if you think it through, you may lose the courage to ask, "Are you coming?"

Ideas that seem to be on a whim are the most real.

He will be invited to listen to the sample, which is the first question without an answer. It is because of this first question that the second question has no answer. In order to answer the second question, a third question arises.

Why did he bring up to listen to his recordings?

Behind one question after another, it is actually Akina Nakamori's curiosity about Shinichi Iwahashi.

All along, because of Okada's affair with Kiko, she trusted Shinichi Iwahashi first. I met him for the first time without knowing it, and I experienced a thoughtful approach from him.

When the two are added together, Akina Nakamori has a special kindness to him, and because of the previous events, he has a subtle expectation of meeting him unexpectedly.

However, she has always lacked an understanding of Shinichi Iwahashi.

Although I felt the kindness of gentleness from him, only gentleness was not a three-dimensional image in my heart.

I hope to see a three-dimensional image, which is Akina Nakamori's simple curiosity about Shinichi Iwahashi.

As she thought about it, Nakata's words interrupted her thoughts.

"That's it. Nakata said to Shinichi Iwahashi.

"This is a version that has been preliminarily mixed, and at present, Nakamori-san is most satisfied with this version. Nakata deliberately accentuated the word "current", and from this, Shinichi Iwahashi heard both Akina Nakamori's attitude of striving for excellence in music, and at the same time, Nakata's recording engineer praised her for this attitude.

Shinichi Iwahashi said "I'm sorry" and picked up the monitoring headphones.

The song "Hard to Break the Boat" is full of melancholy and sad atmosphere as a whole, and when listening to Noboriko Kato's sample, Shinichi Iwahashi already has a full understanding.

But even so, when he first heard Akina Nakamori's re-enacted version, he was still shocked in his heart, and he was captured by the kind of melancholy she created in her singing.

The so-called "ultimate sorrow" is fully reflected in her singing.

can sing such a feeling, which must have Akina Nakamori's feelings for her own love.

If Nobuyoko Kato wrote this poem "Hard to Break the Boat" because of the emotional differences with her husband, then Akina Nakamori can also be said to have feelings for her own terrible relationship, so she deduced such sorrow and hesitation, as well as the hesitation of being alone on the sea, unable to see the land, and no one to lend a hand.

However, the sorrow that is revealed here is completely different from the chic and handsome that Akina Nakamori has always shown on stage, and it is also different from her style of not liking to mention her private affairs.

Her relationship with Kondo Masahiko is well known all over the country, but although she is often ridiculed by the host on the show, she herself hardly takes the initiative to talk about it, is it now to make an exception in order to talk about the pain of the relationship?

Iwahashi Shinichi listened to Akina Nakamori's song, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

"I suffered, I wept, I pleaded, I wept, it was all real. I was in terrible pain, and my tears were hot and bitter. The experiential actor said.

Among the various genres of performance, there are expressive schools that emphasize reason, and there are experiential schools that listen to emotions and integrate themselves and characters into one to perform, so there are the above feelings.

"It's all real."

Not only actors need acting skills, but singers also need to interpret songs, and their voices also have "acting skills".

Singer-songwriters are different, for non-singer-songwriters, if they want to sing sincerely and move people's hearts, they also need to brew. The reason why the singing machine is called a singing machine is because the singing voice is cold, and they jump out of the song and sing a song like a spectator.

Singer Chiyoko Shimakura, a singer who plays a big name and is tied to Misora Skylark, has a song called "Life いろいろ" (Life Hundred States).

"I've been worried that I'm going to die, whether it's roses or autumn cherry blossoms, they're going to wither. ”

"It's weird, when I was young. It's funny, when I was younger. It's so dazzling, and life is varied. ”

The lyrics sound a little self-deprecating, but in fact they are a kind of emotion about life. If it is left to other singers to sing, it may not be possible to grasp the "degree" of this, but it is perfect for Chiyoko Shimakura to sing.

Because the phrase "life is full of states" happens to be a portrayal of her own life.

This singer has a miserable life, his sister committed suicide, his brother broke off with her, he was abused by her husband's family, she was desperate for her marriage, and she once attempted suicide. Later, he was deceived by a man and was saddled with a huge debt of 170 million yen.

But even so, I chose to continue to live, sing, pay back the money, and start again after paying off the money.

Such Chiyoko Shimakura sang this song with a little smile, saying "Life is full of states", such funny, such helplessness, and emotion for life, which no one can imitate.

Because the song is herself.

There is another singer who is now in full swing, Sayuri Ishikawa, whose trilogy of "Winter Scenery of the Tsugaru Strait", "Noto Peninsula" and "Warm Current" is a masterpiece in the singing industry.

When she sang "Winter Scenery of the Tsugaru Strait", she was only nineteen years old, and she couldn't experience the parting sorrow in the lyrics, so Ajiuyou, who wrote the lyrics, guided her to imagine-

is not to directly imagine that kind of sorrow, but to make her think, if you are leaving, what kind of suitcase you hold in your hand, and what kind of clothes you wear, invisibly drag her into the lyrics and become the protagonist.

So Sayuri Ishikawa, who once debuted as an idol of "Princess Colombia", successfully transformed in one fell swoop, and it was smooth sailing as a singer. The reason why she can succeed is not only because she sings well, but also because she can sing to people's hearts.

As she grew older and her own experience increased, Sayuri Ishikawa performed her own songs, and she became more and more comfortable with feelings.

One of the charms of singing lies in the fact that with the enrichment of life experience, whether it is the singer's own interpretation or the audience's own feelings, the longer the time, the more enjoyable it sounds.
