As July passed in a hurry, the streets of Tokyo were gradually occupied by Ye Zhao's "Summer Color", in addition to the shops playing on the stereo, Ye Zhao has recently been on the way to and from the company, and often encountered singers singing his singles near the station.

Apollo Records, has been reprinted for the third time, after the successful release of "Summer Color", the fame of this little-known underground record company in the industry soared, and Arakawa Kazushi, who single-handedly contributed to the cooperation with Ye Zhao, also received olive branches from several mainstream record companies because of this "insight into talents", as for whether he sticks to his old club, or goes to a high place to jump to another house, this is not Ye Zhao's concern.

On this day, he came to the vocal music classroom of BEING's headquarters before nine o'clock as usual. The moment he pushed open the door, Ye Zhao saw a slender and tall woman standing in front of the classroom window, like a model, wearing a white chiffon shirt and loose light blue jeans, and long hair in a maroon shawl.

Maeda-sensei is less than 1.55 meters tall, and her hair is also the kind of high school homeroom teacher-style short ear-length hair, which is obviously not her. Ye Zhao subconsciously exited the classroom, and after confirming that he had not made a mistake, he walked in again.

This movement alarmed the woman in the classroom, and when Ye Zhao went in again, the woman had already turned around, put her hands behind her back, and looked at him with a shy smile, "Hello." The woman's skin is clean and fair, with long eyebrows and almond eyes, and at first glance she looks very feminine, but if you look closely, there is a sense of heroism, and the two completely different temperaments are mixed in her, not only does not feel incongruous, but adds a bit of charm.

Such a beautiful woman! This was Ye Zhao's first reaction.

"Hello, that, where's Maeda-sensei?"

"Maeda-sensei is not here today, so I will be your vocal teacher when I come. The woman stepped forward and introduced herself: "I'm Mirei Takahashi, and I've been teaching for more than an hour and a half." ”

"MANISH, THAT MIRAI TAKAHASHI?"

"You know me. Mirei Takahashi smiled happily.

Of course, Ye Zhao knows MANISH, a girl band composed of lead singer Mirei Takahashi and keyboardist Mari Nishimoto, which is one of the few bands launched by BEING in the early 90s that did not become popular from the beginning to the end Later, the band abruptly ceased its activities in 1998, and the two members disappeared from the public again.

However, although this band is not as popular as her predecessors, it also leaves two topics that people talk about, one is the high-pitched and clear voice of the lead singer Mirei Takahashi, and the other is the beauty of the two members, especially Mirei Takahashi, whose appearance at her peak is definitely the top part of the female singer.

"Does Miss Takahashi also work as a vocal teacher?"

"Miss Takahashi is so awkward, they are all colleagues in the same company, just call me Takahashi or Meiling. Mirei Takahashi said a little shyly, "Maeda-sensei went to B'z's concert to help with harmony, and I came here to help temporarily." ”

"I see, then I'll give you a lot of advice today. ”

Although Mirei Takahashi is a singer by profession, she is not ambiguous when she teaches classes, and her words and deeds have taught Ye Zhao a lot of things as a professional singer.

"It's not right here, you have to use your abdominal cavity to make your voice. Mirei Takahashi gestured with her hand on her lower abdomen.

Ye Zhao nodded and sang again.

Miling Takahashi frowned and listened to the song, sighing: "You have to get rid of your previous bad problems and learn to sing with skills, so that your career as a singer will last longer." ”

"I'm sorry. ”

"Forget it," Takahashi Meiling shook her head, came to Ye Zhao's side, and gently put her right hand on his lower abdomen, "You sing again, remember to pay attention here." ”

The temperature of Miling Takahashi's palm passed through the thin T-shirt, Ye Zhaoyi lowered his head, smelled a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, and his eyes moved down, and he could vaguely see the delicate cup-shaped flower on her lace underwear through the shirt.

Ye Zhao took a breath.

"Hey, here we go. Mirei Takahashi didn't notice his abnormality and urged.

"Okay. Ye Zhao quietly looked away, recalled the skills taught by Maeda Sensei in his mind, and sang again.

This time, his performance was finally recognized by Mirei Takahashi. Her slightly frowning eyebrows stretched out and applauded softly: "That's right, that's it." The warm palm was withdrawn, and it made Ye Zhao feel a little lost.

An hour and a half flew by, and after Mirei Takahashi announced the end of the class, the two walked out of the vocal music classroom together. Miling Takahashi, who just turned 20 this year, is the same age as Ye Zhao, Xu is similar age, and the two get along very relaxed, and they have always maintained an atmosphere of talking and laughing in the elevator. Of course, most of the time it was Ye Zhao who was talking, and Mirei Takahashi listened with a smile.

There is a vending machine on the first floor of the company, and when he got out of the elevator, Ye Zhao went to the vending machine and bought two cans of coffee, and handed one of them to Miling Takahashi, "Please use it." ”

"Thank you. Mirei Takahashi took the coffee, opened the tab, and took a sip.

Ye Zhao originally wanted to invite Miling Takahashi to lunch, but his royalties haven't arrived yet, BEING's basic salary is used to pay the rent, and the rest is to ensure that he won't starve to death. was thinking about how to say goodbye to Mirei Takahashi, but Mirei Takahashi spoke first: "I have a job next, so I'll go first." ”

……

On August 2, Ye Zhao came to the company on time to check in and report, but before going to the vocal music classroom, the receptionist at the front desk told him that Nagato Daiko invited him to the office.

I took the elevator to the president's office on the top floor, and when I knocked on the door, I heard the voice of Daiyuki Nagato, "Please come in." Ye Zhao pushed open the door, and Nagato Daiyuki got up from the president's seat, and let Ye Zhao to the couch in the reception room with a smile, while telling the female assistant to hurry up and make coffee.

"President Nagato, why did you call me here?"

Nagato Daiyuki handed Ye Zhao a document on the table, "Look at it, this is the sales of last week's singles counted by ORICON." ”

Ye Zhao took the file, and subconsciously started from the twentieth place in the singles list to find it up, twenty to ten no, ten to five no, Ye Zhao's gaze moved up little by little, over the fourth, third, second......

"First?!" Ye Zhao looked at the top of the singles chart, his "Summer Color" won the weekly champion of the ORICON singles chart with more than 337,000 copies sold this week!

"It's amazing!" Nagato Daiyuki patted Ye Zhao on the shoulder hard, "It's a miracle!"

A miracle indeed. There are only a handful of examples of underground singers winning the ORICON weekly chart championship, no matter which underground singer does this, it is a feat worth bragging about, and various music groups and radio stations must also be mentioned.

Nagato Daiko was happy, and did not forget to mention the matter, "Now the momentum of your single is almost at its peak, and there are several fireworks displays in August, taking advantage of this east wind, there is no problem with the fire in August, but as soon as autumn arrives, it will inevitably fall." So, we can't wait for the craze to subside before preparing a new single, and try to officially release your debut song between the end of August and the beginning of September. By the way, are you ready for the new singles? If not, it doesn't matter, the company has a lot of composers in stock, you can pick and choose. ”

"Thank you, President, I'm already ready for the new song. Ye Zhao smiled, how could he sing other people's songs with his own music library?

"Oh, what kind of song is it, can you let me listen to it?" Although Nagato Daiyuki looked forward to it, he thought that if he didn't think this song was good, he would definitely persuade Ye Zhao to use the songs in the music library to make his debut. He knows very well that the current Ye Zhao can be said to be completely loyalist, and he is selling songs based on word of mouth, if he continues to produce good songs, this popularity can continue until he accumulates fixed fans, and once he can't get a good work, it is inevitable that he will be beaten back to his original form in an instant.

Ye Zhao didn't care about Changhu Daxing's little Jiujiu, because in his place, there was no such thing as not being able to come up with a good song. "Let's borrow the president's guitar and use it. "Daiyuki Nagato, who is a music lover and has formed a band himself, even though he has become a businessman, seems to have collected a lot of rare guitars in his office in order to show that he has not forgotten his original intention.

"Feel free to use it. If you like any of them, I'll give them to you. Nagato said generously.

"Then I'll thank President Nagato first. Ye Zhao was not stupid enough to take this seriously, and then picked the most precious one from Nagato Daiyuki's collection, picked it around, and took down a Martin D28, although the price of this guitar is not cheap, but it is nothing compared to other pianos, after all, what can be placed in the president's office is definitely not ordinary.
