Chapter 322: Born in Heaven
"It's not a matter of work, but I made an appointment with a few musician friends to meet in the studio this afternoon to talk a little bit about songs. Ye Zhao explained to her simply.
Speaking of which, I have to go back to the night when I finished karaoke with the three of Okuda Minsheng and went back to the izakaya.
When he sang before, Ye Zhao learned that Yoichi Kuramochi and Masaki Masaki were both masters of playing the harmonica, so he took the opportunity to ask them some questions about the use of the harmonica in the arrangement.
"Ye Jun is planning to add a harmonica to the songs in the future?" Yamazaki Shoyoshi immediately sensed his intentions.
"Actually, there is such a song that is intended to be accompanied by a lot of harmonica. Ye Zhao replied, "However, because I don't know how to play the harmonica at all, I feel a little at a loss." ”
This song is not the song he planned to release from the beginning, but a song that suddenly came to his mind after spending the day so intensely but full.
"Lots of harmonica?" Kuramochi imagined, "I'm still interested." ”
Not only Yoichi Kuramochi, but also Okuda Minsheng and Yamazaki Masaki were also whetted by Ye Zhao, and they were full of curiosity about this song, so the four of them agreed to go to the studio to discuss the song together on the afternoon of this weekend.
However, because Yukie Nakama also happened to be resting on this day, there was a temporary conflict in the arrangement of the itinerary.
"In that case......" Yukie Nakama couldn't hide her frustration, "and we're going to separate next?"
"If you don't mind," Ye Zhao said to her, "will you come with me to the recording studio later?"
"Huh, is that okay?"
"I think it's okay, even though it's a workplace, it's not just work-related people, and there are a lot of cases like bringing family and friends there. Ye Zhao said, "Moreover, this is not an official recording, just a discussion of the tune." ”
"If there's anything that might bother you, it's probably that you might be a little lonely while waiting. ”
Yukie Nakama shook her head slightly, "It's okay. ”
"In that case, let's go with us after that. Ye Zhao decided.
……
After lunch, the two got into a taxi and headed for the agreed recording studio.
The recording studio where we agreed to meet is located in Roppongi, but it is neither being nor Sony's recording studio, but a recording studio belonging to For Life.
For Life is a record label that Takuro Yoshida co-founded in the mid-70s, of course, a record label that is a serious record company, not a company that only serves him.
The four of them belong to three different record companies, Ye Zhao is okay to say that he has always maintained a cooperative relationship with Sony, but Yamazaki Masaki's record appointment is around the world. Perhaps because of this, Okuda Minsheng eventually borrowed the recording studio for life.
Speaking of which, Takuro Yoshida's record company just terminated its cooperation with his old friend Poli Kanon this year, and Sony was responsible for the distribution of records.
When Ye Zhao took Yukie Nakama to the recording studio, Okuda Minsheng and Yamazaki Masaki had already arrived.
Because she didn't explain to her who she was going to meet next, she didn't know that Ye Zhao's "musician friends" in this studio were all seniors plus men who were many years older.
"Okuda-san, Yamazaki-san, good afternoon. Entering the recording studio, Ye Zhao and the two greeted each other.
"Good afternoon, Ye Jun. After the two finished greeting, they subconsciously looked at Yukie Nakama, who was following him.
Yukie Nakama hurriedly bowed to the two and greeted them.
"Hello. Okutian Minsheng nodded and looked at Ye Zhao, "Who is this?"
"It's my girlfriend, I just happened to be together today, so I brought her over. Ye Zhao explained.
"I see. ”
After waiting for a while, Yoichi Kuramochi also came over.
"It's too late, Kuramochi-kun!" Okuda complained.
"I'm sorry, I went a little too far yesterday and got drunk until noon. Kuramochi put his hands together and said with a smile, noticing Ye Zhao and Yukie Nakama who was with him.
When Yukie Nakama asked him a question mark, he said "oh", "Hello." He laughed and teased Ye Zhao, "Ye Jun, it's brutal." ”
Maybe there's a bit of an uncle in his own image who likes to joke, so although the tone is a little casual, it's not annoying.
Ye Zhao also joked, "Let's confirm first, Kuramochi-san should have come over after sobering up, right?"
"Of course," Kuramochi replied, "don't look at me like this, I also drove here by myself." After the joke, he got to the point faster than anyone else, "Ye Jun, has the score been made?"
"Of course. Ye Zhao said in imitation of his tone. Taking the sheet music out of his bag, "The timing of the harmonica was something I imagined, so I marked it with symbols. ”
"If you look at it this way, there are a lot of places where you need to use a harmonica. ”
"yes. Ye Zhao agreed. The original author of this song is one of Japan's top harmonica masters, so when making this song, you can add the harmonica to your heart's content without being inhibited.
"However, this lyric is really random. Okuda's focus is on something else, "The title is 'Born in Heaven'?"
"Yes, born in the kingdom of heaven. ”
"I see," Okuda nodded, "that's why my hometown is far away." ”
"Far away, born in Heaven. ”
This is a phrase that is repeated over and over again in this song.
It may sound strange at first, but when you think about it, it's amazing. He was born in Heaven, and then left Heaven to walk in the world, and finally returned to Heaven.
The song, titled "Born in Heaven," was produced and released by Hiroto Komoto in mid-2006, when he was in the middle of a gap for his second band to break up.
This song "Born in Heaven", from the production of lyrics and songs to the performance of musical instruments, is handled by himself from beginning to end. And his exquisite harmonica skills are also the biggest charm of this song.
"There is a so-called love that will not be realized, and it is already dead. But there are no dreams that will not come true, and you must never give up".
It is worth mentioning that these lyrics in this song are the inspiration for the creation of the movie called "How to Steal the Key".
That night, when Ye Zhao was drinking, a little drunk, and felt light, what suddenly appeared in his mind was the melody of this song. 2k reading web
