The place where Ye Zhao took Kawamoto and Dai was BEING's recording studio in Roppongi, since Watanabe Lu Youyan was first, even if it was just for him, Ye Zhao couldn't ignore Kawamoto and Yoyo, so he officially set the audition location in the recording studio.

Of course, he was also really curious about how special this Kazuyo Kawamoto voice was.

"Ye Zhaosang is here?" said the staff in the recording studio.

"Mr. Yamada, can you arrange a recording studio for me?"

Yamada replied attentively: "Of course it's no problem, please come with me." While carefully looking at the faces of Watanabe Riku and Kazuyo Kawamoto, although curious, he didn't ask too much.

……

When there were only four of them in the recording studio, Ye Zhao motioned for Kawamoto Kazuyo to go to the recording room opposite, "How about it, do you want me to go over and explain it to you?"

Kazuyo Kawamoto smiled slightly, "Thank you, Ye Zhaosang, but when I was in my hometown in Fukui, I recorded accompaniment for the underground band there." ”

"Well, let's get started. You pick the one you are good at singing. Ye Zhao picked up a monitor headset and handed it to Watanabe Lu, and then looked at Yuki Uemura, "Do you use it?"

"I'm going to make you coffee. Yuki Uemura said, walking out of the studio.

Ye Zhao shrugged his shoulders, put on the monitoring headphones, and commanded through the microphone connected to the recording room: "You can start." ”

Kazuyo Kawamoto made an OK gesture.

……

KAZUYO KAWAMOTO'S SONG SELECTION SURPRISED YE ZHAO A LITTLE, SHE SANG "BLUE TEARS" BY JUDY AND MARY.

When she started singing, Ye Zhao was distracted for a moment: the guy who proudly said that he was not a greenhouse flower, what was he doing at this moment?

Of course, it was only for a moment, and soon, he was drawn back to attention by Kazuyo Kawamoto's voice, and then, he finally understood why Riku Watanabe said that she sang very specially, while she herself said that she was not very suitable for singing.

YUKI, THE ORIGINAL SINGER OF THE SONG "BLUE TEARS", ONE OF THE POINTS THAT ATTRACTED HER ATTENTION WAS THE HIGHLY RECOGNIZABLE CHILDREN'S VOICE. If YUKI is a child's voice, this Kawamoto Kazuyo is a more Lolita sound than her.

And her loli sound is not the kind of lolita sound that makes people feel cute and cute, but the kind of food that can be described as natto, wasabi, and stinky tofu...... And so on the type of person with a strong personality, who likes it very much, and people who don't like it will get goosebumps when they hear it.

It was also at this time that looking at Kazuyo Kawamoto's face through the glass of the recording room, listening to her special Lori voice in the headphones, Ye Zhao's mind suddenly popped up with a worthy character.

……

When the four words Kawamoto Makoto came out of his mind, Ye Zhao's heart actually refused. Even if you often watch male and female pickets and pay attention to the gossip in the Japanese entertainment circle, you can laugh when you see this name.

Don't get me wrong, she didn't become a funny artist who was complained about on variety shows in later days, she just dated a funny artist.

In fact, the status of the funny artists in the Japanese entertainment industry is not low, and falling in love with them is not a forced thing, Rika Akana finally married Takaaki Ishibashi, Fujiwara Norika was not only married home by Tomonori Jinuchi, but also cheated on him in marriage, and Matsu Benzhi is the fifth diamond king in this funny artist...... If only this were the way things go.

However, the funny artist Makoto Kawamoto has dated is his name ...... Hidetaka Kano.

It's a hard thing to describe.

……

Although in later generations, this name re-entered the public eye because she was involved in the peach-colored scandal of Hidetaka Kano and became a member of the playboy trophy, but when the time went back to 1997, she was also a high-profile rookie in the music scene that year, and the OP song "1/2" sung for Rogue Kenshin sold 800,000 copies, and the first album "Kawamoto Makoto" directly sold more than one million, ranking 19th on the annual list, by the way, ranked 20th is Boy's debut album "A album".

This achievement is enough for her to be a super-large newcomer, right?

But all her star luck seems to have been exhausted in the year of her debut. The popularity of the album of the same name "Kawamoto Makoto" made her an unstoppable super newcomer, although she wanted to be a musician, but she couldn't adapt to the kind of high-intensity work that soaked in the studio all day, in addition, because her personal philosophy was contrary to the company's policy, almost from the beginning of her popularity, she was constantly fighting with the record company, and finally in 2001, after the expiration of the five-year contract, Kawamoto Makoto announced her withdrawal from the studio and disappeared from the scene.

Three years later, she reappeared in the public eye as an underground singer, but at this time, the place that belonged to her in the music scene had long been filled by latecomers, and the name Kawamoto Makoto was gradually forgotten, becoming one of the thousands of meteor-like figures in the entertainment industry.

……

When Kazuyo Kawamoto came out of the recording room, what he saw was Ye Zhao's tangled face.

Kazuyo Kawamoto, who didn't know that Ye Zhao was complaining about her gossip scandal in his heart, asked a little unconfidently: "That...... Ye Zhaosang, am I singing badly?"

"No, not really. Ye Zhao coughed dryly, "On the contrary, it is indeed a very distinctive voice." ”

"In that case, why did Ye Zhaosang have a very embarrassed expression?"

"I'm not embarrassed, I'm just thinking about what kind of route you should take if you make your debut. Ye Zhao replied slowly.

"Huh?!" Kazuyo Kawamoto looked incredulous.

Looking at the cautious and modest appearance of Kazuyo Kawamoto now, it is really difficult to associate with the person who was tough with the firm and retired from the company at the most popular time. But regardless of whether Kazuyo Kawamoto, or the future Kawamoto Makoto, will continue to follow the old path in history, Ye Zhao feels that as long as he is not the kind of producer with a particularly strong sense of personal subjectivity, he will feel the need to sign her.

Moreover, although it is mentioned from the perspective of an onlooker, the resume of Kazuyo Kawamoto is not a big deal, and it is not at all comparable to the kind of high-ranking singers who were talked about until many years later. But she has an advantage that sets her apart from the average singer-songwriter: she's a singer-songwriter.

Even after she faded out of the television media, she was still active behind the scenes as a composer, and later engaged in the production of experimental music, which can be said to be quite an idea and talented person, although she was a little sloppy in her handling of things.

But in the final analysis, since there are people in this world who are constantly chasing commercialization for results, there are also people who stick to niche music and fight for it for life. One of the hallmarks of the maturity of the music scene is the ability to tolerate this personality.

Ye Zhao's expression was quite sincere, "Miss Kawamoto, I think you have the talent to become a singer, so I want to help introduce you to someone from the record company." ”

"Eh?!, eh-" Kazuyo Kawamoto covered his mouth and let out a long series of exclamations, and after a while, he came out of this blank state of mind and asked tremblingly, "Really, Ye Zhaosang, but I don't sing well, and people are not cute......"

"Alright," Ye Zhao interrupted her, "you have to be confident in yourself. Instead of thinking that your singing is not good, I think that your voice is very recognizable and will definitely attract attention. ”

Watanabe Lu smiled and reassured: "Kawamoto, Ye Jun doesn't need to lie to you with this kind of thing, don't worry." While looking at Ye Zhao, he asked, "Ye Jun, when do you plan to introduce Kawamoto to President Nagato?"

Ye Zhao thought for a moment, "Brother Watanabe, I don't plan to introduce Miss Kawamoto to BEING. ”

"NOT TO BE INTRODUCED TO BEING?"

"I don't think Miss Kawamoto's style is a good match for BEING, and I didn't have any prospects in the past. Ye Zhao explained in a few words, and said to Kazuyo Kawamoto: "Miss Kawamoto, I would like to invite you to join my personal firm and attach the brokerage contract to my name. After that, I'll contact the record label for you to find the right time to make your debut. ”

"Brokerage?"

Ye Zhao saw her hesitation, "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary sharing contract, there is nothing special to bind you, it's just to facilitate some of your affairs." Regarding this, you can read the contract and decide whether you want to sign it or not. ”

"Then when am I going to read the contract?" Kazuyo Kawamoto put a little bit of heart.

"You can always when you have time, I'll arrange it. As for the address of the office...... Ye Zhao touched his pocket, "Wait for a while, and ask him to give you the business card when Uemura comes back." ”

……

Yuki Uemura, who was late, returned to the recording studio with four cups of hot coffee, and the four of them sat on the sofa in the small living room opened out of the door and drank coffee slowly, Ye Zhao quietly led the topic to creation, "Since Miss Kawamoto is from a professional class, has she been involved in composition?"

"Don't hide it from Ye Zhaosang, I've been trying to compose, and now I feel that I can get my hands on it, and I've probably saved more than a dozen songs. Speaking of this, he smiled a little embarrassedly, "Actually, my original plan was to send the demo to the record company after a while, and work hard for the composer behind the scenes." ”

"Did Miss Kawamoto use piano or guitar when she composed music?"

"Guitar, that's a little more convenient. ”

YE ZHAO LOOKED AROUND THE RECORDING STUDIO, GOT UP AND TOOK OFF A GIBSON HANGING ON THE WALL, AND ENCOURAGED WITH HIS EYES: "MISS KAWAMOTO, DO YOU WANT TO SHOW YOUR HAND?"

Kazuyo Kawamoto hesitated for a few seconds, put down the paper cup, and took the guitar from Ye Zhao's hand.

Kazuyo Kawamoto's composition ability is good, but it can only be good, there are bright spots, but if you want to touch the first-class edge, it will be so bad after all. And her strongest point is not composition, but excellent lyric ability, don't look at her weak appearance, the lyrics she writes are angular.

What surprised Ye Zhao was Kazuyo Kawamoto's guitar skills, although Ye Zhao also knew that she debuted as a female guitar singer, but she didn't expect her skills to be so good. Ye Zhao even sighed silently in his heart: He really deserves to be a person from a professional class, and he really has nothing to pick in these things.
