010. Skillful
"Haha!"
After listening to his explanation, Akiko Koshiro smiled and leaned back, among the girls Iwahashi Shinichi had ever met since he crossed, she was definitely the one who laughed the most.
Yuelu Qiuzi smiled and apologized to him, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I caused you such trouble." At first, I just wanted to look for you, but your reaction was funny, and before I knew it, I was intrigued......"
Iwahashi Shinichi's expression was like eating a sour plum, "It's too bad." โ
"As an apology, I know there's a nice little bar around here, can I go now?" Akiko Koshiro invited him.
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't speak, looking at her as if waiting for something.
For three months, although they were in the same club, they did their own thing unrelated to each other and never said a word. Now, he didn't believe that Akiko Koshiro had been waiting for him on purpose, in order to ask him to drink after saying these words.
"Well," Akiko Koshiro admitted, "Actually, I want to discuss with you and ask for your help, and it has to do with your excellent sense of sound. ...... If you can, I hope to hear what I've said before deciding whether to say yes or no. โ
Iwahashi thought about it for a moment and decided that it wouldn't hurt to listen to it. So, Akiko Koshiro takes him into a bar called "Bacchus" hidden among the small bars and restaurants in the alley.
Take a seat at the bar and the bartender hands them two towels.
"Cross-road mulberry ......"
Iwahashi Shinichi just screamed like this, and she seemed to be amused by her own name, and stopped him, "It's my negligence." My surname is Yoshida, and my name is 'Miwa', so you can call it whatever you want. โ
"Yoshida-san. "Iwahashi Shinichi is as good as a stream.
"Okay. Miwa Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief, "This is much more reassuring." โ
No one in the store would call her "Yue Lu San", and being called so seriously outside has a feeling of arrogance and impracticality, after all, the real "Yue Lu San" is a star with the title of Queen of Chanson.
Compared to Koshiji Akiko, Miwa Yoshida is ordinary, like a name that can be seen everywhere. Not only that, Miwa Yoshida told him that when she sang in another club, her stage name was "Machiko Etoshi", which was a parody of the former celebrity singer and actor Ken Takakura's wife, Tomomi Etomi Etomo.
"It's old enough. โ
The era of Yue Lu Blowing Snow and Jiang Li Zhihui Mei became popular and purple were all in the fifties.
"However, I really like to sing, and I like to respect the singers of this era. Miwa Yoshida said, "Iwahashi-san has such a good sense of sound, he will definitely play the piano?"
"It's okay, I can play some. Iwahashi said modestly.
"I also learned piano when I was a child, but I was too playful to always concentrate on practicing, so I quickly gave up and didn't learn the piano. Miwa Yoshida opened the conversation, "Later, I also learned other musical instruments, but I gave up everything as soon as I started learning, and I won't change my mind even if I get scolded." โ
That's probably because you don't have a feather duster by your side that can beat people. Iwahashi Shinichi thought.
A good feather duster, the vocal that is beaten out, the high pitch is sweet, the middle pitch is quasi-bass, and the fever is honest after listening to it once. Burn and beat again, and retreat after beating, it's so transparent.
"I was impatient with things, with the exception of singing. Even if others say, 'Stop singing, give up!', they still persisted. โ
So after graduating from high school, she came to Tokyo from her hometown of Hokkaido, and sang in the club for a year or two, during which she also wanted to make her debut as a singer, and sent audition tapes of her own composition to several record companies, but there was no response.
After two glasses of wine, Miwa Yoshida told him a lot about himself. Not so long ago, he didn't know anything about Mei Yoshida and his people, but now, a piano that has gone out of tune has brought two parallel lines to intersection.
"You can also compose?"
"My dad was a music lover, and I had a lot of records at home, and I listened to them since I was a child, and when I was in elementary school, I thought I might be able to do it myself, so I started trying to compose. โ
Shinichi Iwahashi was shocked, "You can write your own tunes in elementary school?"
What kind of Mary Sue setting is this? Sister, you're here with memories of your past life, right?
"Hmm......" Miwa Yoshida smiled and explained, "to be precise, to sing the melody that comes to mind on tape." I couldn't learn how to use a staff or play an instrument, and until now, I still do. โ
"That's pretty good, too. Iwahashi Shinichi praised it, and then thought that the composition also depends on the level, so it's a bit early to boast.
When Shinichi Iwahashi was in high school, there was a male classmate in a certain class, who was rumored to be a hidden guitar master and was deeply admired by female classmates. Everyone instigated him to show his hand, but this gentleman was so gracious that he played a song "Hotel California" in public.
He and his friends were so struck by the skill that no one ever spoke of the guitar master since.
Thinking of this, Shinichi Iwahashi asked her tentatively, "Can you sing a song of yours and listen to it?"
Referring to this, Miwa Yoshida turned his head to look at him, "Actually, this is what I want to ask you to help with." You have a good sense of tone, so I would like to ask you to help write the score after listening to my cappella. โ
Miwa Yoshida told him, "The audition tape I sent out was never lost, and a few days ago, I met an agent in the underground music industry and said that he could help me ask again, and I gave him the audition tape, but he said, 'I don't understand what you are singing, can you prepare the score?'"
Speaking of this, she asked in a very puzzled tone, "But, does this need to be said? If you can write a score, you can just give it to him in the first place." โ
Shinichi Iwahashi made her tone laugh in amusement, "You're absolutely right. โ
"When I was worried, I heard them talk about you, and thought that you might be able to do it, so I cheekily came to you and begged for help. Miwa Yoshida said.
"Can I dictate the score for you?"
In his previous life, because of his absolute sense of tone, Shinichi Iwahashi did something to help others dictate chords, although the two cannot be generalized, but this thing should be able to be done.
But before that, he asked again, "I want to hear your cappella first, is that okay?"
"Of course. Miwa Yoshida drank the rest of the whiskey from her glass and pulled out her wallet. I was about to pay for the drink, but I was rejected by Shinichi Iwahashi, "I just got a bonus from the manager tonight, so I can always have a drink for myself." โ
"I'm not going to ask for your help later. โ
Iwahashi shook his head, "Whether you want to help or not, you have to listen to it before you can make a decision." โ
"I know," Miwa Yoshida said, "that you always have to have an interview before you get in." So he didn't insist anymore, and finally only paid for his own drink.
Out of the bar, Miwa Yoshida jokingly said, "Iwahashi-san divides everything so clearly, beware of being perceived as cold by girls." โ
"If you can't tell the difference, you have to be thought by girls to have a soft personality, which is annoying. Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
Miwa Yoshida agreed, "That's true. โ
No matter what the interview, there is no serious interview location. The two walked along a sparsely populated street with a park in front of them, with dim street lights and dark shadows cast by the leafy foliage.
Miwa Yoshida suddenly quickened her pace and approached him, as if driven by the shadow of the tree. Tonight, she has been giving Iwahashi Shinichi a kind of boyish heartiness, and only now when she walks at night, there is a feminine atmosphere......
He thought too much.
After the distance suddenly narrowed, Miwa Yoshida sang her own song with a hint of drunkenness.
The co-author is not afraid, but almost brewing, and the interview is arranged.
However, after a moment of complaining, Shinichi Iwahashi immediately had no distractions. Because, with all his heart, he was attracted by Miwa Yoshida's singing.
Celestial sounds - Miwa Yoshida's voice has nothing to do with this word, because her voice has a pyrotechnic atmosphere, not a distant ethereal voice that seems to come from the clouds and hits the heart, but an emotional urban sound close to her.
Her voice is rich and free, like waves crashing on the shore, which is completely different from the traditional slender Japanese voice, which shows that she has a deep jazz foundation.
With this voice, it is not an exaggeration to say that God appreciates food.
And in addition to her almost full-level singing skills, the song she is singing at the moment also surprised Shinichi Iwahashi. This melody is beautiful, and it is no longer lost to the songs sold on the market, which she wrote by humming the melody in her head.
"Is this your original? Yoshida-san. Iwahashi Shinichi listened to her cappella, knowing the facts, but couldn't help but ask with confirmation.
"Yes, the name is "ๅจใซ1ๅบฆใฎ็ฑไบบ" (once a week of lovers). Miwa Yoshida said. He explained to him, "Because the melody came smoothly, I was also worried about whether the melody I heard was mixed into my own tune. โ
"The lyrics too?"
Miwa Yoshida nodded, a little smug in his shyness.
"Yoshida-san," Iwahashi Shinichi paused, "I'll help you." โ
