Chapter 132: Cheering Forward for Your Dreams
In the office, the sound of music slowly faded, and Rin Chihara turned off the stereo with the remote control, leaned back on the chair, and looked up at the ceiling with his back to the sky, speechless for a while.
He has just finished listening to the top songs on this year's public trust list, and he has learned about the current situation in the ballad world.
It's almost the end of 95 now, and the idols have just come out of the ice age, and they are probing their brains to observe the situation, and they are beginning to slowly absorb fans, and the mainstream music industry has nothing to do with them, and they are far from being able to do the feat like AKB48 later - not only did they get a copy of the sales list in the first week of the history of the public trust list, but also exaggerated to account for 19 places in the top 20.
And the current world of songs, judging from the results of his own ear audition......
First, at present, it is said that this is in the heyday of the band tide and the rock tide, and the pop song style is dominated by the rock style, which is basically in the form of a band, and there are very few solo singers - most of the solo type are the remnants of the successful transformation after the last idol trend, and now their popularity is not very good;
Second, tie-up songs have a great impact, and they are the only contenders for rock music on the ranking list - tie-up songs refer to bundled songs, such as TV series theme songs, advertising songs, etc., and the audience is not only from fans, for example, the song that is currently ranked first on the public trust list is called "Chong! Catfish King", this is the theme song of an old morning drama on Sakurajima TV, and the fact that this song can win the first place has a lot to do with the fact that the morning drama has accumulated many audiences.
So what to say about this situation, half good and half bad!
The good thing is that tie-up songs don't have to follow the mainstream of the times, but must conform to the tone of bundled carriers such as TV dramas, such as "Chong! Catfish King" This song is cheerful and bright, and a little funny, so that people will sing it as soon as they listen to it, and the more they sing, the more smooth it is, and the most popular rebellious rock at present, then it is no problem to be on "Lemon" on your side, and you don't have to worry about the genre.
And the bad part is that there is still no one to sing "Lemon", there are too few solo singers, and there is no genius like Yonezu Genshi.
The song can be copied, even if the effect of rimming and mixing is difficult to achieve with current technology, but this famous song does not rely on special effects to win, but with the singer's thoughts and feelings to conquer a large number of audiences and fans - Yonezu Genshi wrote this song, his grandfather died, and he put all his feelings and emotions about life and death into it, and the truth is the most moving, many people heard this song and cried, and even went to see "Unnatural Death" because of this song.
Chihara Rin thought about it for a long time, and felt that "Lemon" could be on it, and it must be on, after all, this is almost the most suitable theme song for the drama "Unnatural Death", and there is no need to waste it too much, but there is no Yonezu Genji, and the second is also a little difficult technically, and it may not be able to achieve the most ideal effect, so we have to find a way to make up for it.
However, finding a qualified solo singer is still a talented kind, and it is even more of a priority!
He sprang into action, asked Hitomi Konoe to fetch him more CDs, records, and tapes, and began to shut himself in his office while he was busy with his work and listening to songs - distraction is a miracle!
There's no way, this was supposed to be Murakami Iori's job, but only he himself knew what kind of singer he wanted to find, so he could only find a needle in a haystack so slowly, and after two days, he listened to all the popular songs on the public trust list in recent years, but he always felt that these people were missing something, and they were a lot worse than Yonezu Genshi.
It's not that these people can't sing well, it's that he can't listen to rock and roll with his personality, and those singers who have transformed into duals can't appreciate it, so there's really no way.
Or should I say that I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of comparing the goods, even if there are indeed a few solo singers whose singing skills are very good, and they are indeed powerful, but he makes up for the effect in his brain, and he feels that these people can't sing the taste of lightness, joy and sorrow.
It's really a difficulty.,He didn't give up.,I feel like there's a genius in every era after all.,As long as you look patiently.,You can always find it.,And Konoe Hitomi helped him find a song for two days.,I'm also a little confused.,When I gave him a CD, I asked: "Chihara-sensei, there's only so many singles I can find, do you want to listen to the album next?"
"I've listened to all the singles on the public trust chart in recent years"
Hitomi Konoe said honestly: "After listening to it, that's all for the more popular title songs, and the rest is the supporting album songs." ”
Rin Chihara rubbed the corners of his eyes, feeling that he hadn't found the genius he was looking for, and couldn't help but sigh.
Hitomi Konoe was confused for two days, but he also felt it a little, and asked tentatively: "Chihara-sensei is looking for a singer who sings the theme song?"
"Yes!"
Konoe Hitomi looked at him really distressed, and couldn't help but say, "Then can I recommend one to you?"
Chihara Rin smiled dumbly, feeling that the silly girl Konoe Hitomi was indeed a little stunned, and asked with a casual smile: "What, do you have any friends who are singers?"
"No, it's a song I heard when I first came to Tokyo, and that song has always inspired me to work hard, and I listen to it every day before I go to bed now!" Hitomi Konoe said with anticipation: "I think she is a naturally talented person, but she doesn't have a chance to get ahead, Chihara-sensei has already listened to so many songs anyway, can you listen to her songs too"
Rin Chihara was indispensable, ready to give her a face, waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, you go and get it!"
"Chihara-sensei, please wait!" Hitomi Konoe shouted and disappeared.
Chihara Rin was just busy waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting,
Rin Chihara looked at her speechlessly for a while, are you running home to get it
You're such a tease, if you just say you wouldn't bring it tomorrow!
He complained in his stomach for a while, and then he looked down at the tape, and suddenly became even more speechless - there was not even a cover, it looked like a wild idol had recorded it himself, no wonder Hitomi Konoe was able to get it when he first came to Tokyo, this kind of street is often given away for free, purely by some unrealistic wild idols to chase their dreams.
He felt that it was a waste of emotion to listen to this thing, but he promised Konoe Hitomi to listen to it, and he didn't regret it, so he looked at the front and back and stuffed it directly into the tape recorder, and after the reel was brought to the starting position, it began to play, and after waiting for a while, there was only a rustle......
This is really self-recorded, it's not professional at all, and a silly girl like Konoe Hitomi can be a treasure!
Hitomi Konoe was looking forward to it, and whispered, "It's about to start, Chihara-sensei, listen carefully!"
Chihara Rin glanced at her, feeling that she had been in Tokyo for almost a year, and the amusement was still not cured, and then his face slowly changed, and the singing voice coming out of the tape recorder was a little distorted, obviously not recorded in a professional recording studio, but the female voice was still very crisp and clean, like a fine spring, quietly flowing, gliding over the mountains and rocks, around the mountains and forests, giving people a kind of ethereal inspiration.
It's just that the song chosen is not good, it's a support song, and the lyrics and songs are very rough, but the singer sings very devotedly, and he sings this very general support song with a healing taste.
Chihara Rin gasped, even he, a layman in the music industry, felt that this girl was a waste of talent not to be a singer, this voice was too healing, it was all ruined by the lyrics, and he immediately held his breath and listened more seriously, filtering out the bad songs, only focusing on the ethereal voice, but suddenly there was a murmur in his ears, and he tilted his head to see that Konoe Hitomi was humming along!
"Forward, come on, come on, move forward, refuel towards the dream, no matter how hard it is, don't be afraid, we will definitely succeed, we will definitely ......"
Chihara Rin was speechless for a moment, she was too familiar, she didn't need to be polite to her, she rolled up the script and gave her a head - listen to the song honestly, shut up!
Konoe Hitomi touched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and stopped talking, Chihara Rin turned his head to listen carefully, the more he listened, the more he admired, and felt that the song world was completely blind and missed this piece of jade - this sound is so good, full of ethereal inspiration, it makes people's hearts very peaceful, but the lyrics and songs don't match this sound at all, it's really worse than the other, and it completely makes this piece of jade dusty.
It should be her original song, so from this point of view, she is really a terrible singer-songwriter, and there is no band, just she plays and sings by herself there, which is not in line with the current trend in the music industry.
It's just that it doesn't matter, Rin Chihara doesn't lack good lyrics and songs, he lacks people who can sing, and he doesn't need a band, what he needs is a solo type, a singer who can sing good songs to the taste he wants - the female piano version of "lemon" is also super good, and it's also a good choice, after all, it's too hard to find someone like Yonezu Genshi, and it's good to find someone with a similar nature, so I don't care about men and women!
The singing "temperament" of these two people is really similar, one ethereal, the other dreamy!
Rin Chihara listened quietly for nearly twenty minutes, six songs, and then it was gone, followed by a rustle, he reverted back, listened to it again, and found that the tape had no theme, probably the singer sang all the songs he wrote that he was more satisfied with.
two support songs, she sang very healing;
three love songs, she sings delicately and gently;
In addition, there is a song that seems to be self-described, sometimes positive, sometimes depressed, as if making a difficult decision.
Rin Chihara doubled it twice, and his mood was depressed, but he quickly reacted, thinking that this female singer was worth cultivating, and her voice "temperament" was very suitable for the drama "Unnatural Death", maybe she could try "Lemon", and immediately took out the tape, looked at it carefully, and found that it was a common blank tape on the market, and there was no handwritten word on it, and then quickly looked at the tape box, and found that there was no record of any information about the singer.
He immediately turned to Hitomi Konoe and asked, "What's the name of this singer?"
Konoe Hitomi was stunned, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then touched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Ahhhh
Rin Chihara was stunned, and immediately speechless, you teaser, you recommend a singer to me, don't you even know who the singer is
Now I think the right person is right, where do you let me find this person!
