Chapter 135: AKB's No. 1 Composer?

was already fantasizing about Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was an artist under him, Yasu Akimoto, but he didn't know that he was completely distracted.

Then.

"What do you think of this song?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi's sudden question made Yasushi Akimoto wake up from a dream.

"What was I thinking, he's Sony's baby, how could he get under my hands, where did he think... After laughing at himself in his heart, Akimoto Yasusu turned his eyes to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting opposite.

"Well, it's very well written, I think it's perfect, I heard that your lyrics are also very good, have you ever thought about this song, how to fill in the lyrics?" Akimoto Yasu suddenly thought that the lyrics of the young man in front of him should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Akimoto Yasu also asked a little ridiculously.

"Uh? Fill in the words? Actually... When Kiyoshi Sakamoto heard this, his face suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, what? Actually, what?" Akimoto Yasushi saw that he was a little embarrassed, and he was also a little curious.

"Actually, I have a habit of writing, and when I usually write songs, I will fill in the lyrics of my favorite tunes. So I've also brought the lyrics version of this piece with me, and I would like to ask you for some advice. Kiyoshi Sakamoto explained.

"Oh, is that so? Bring it to me and show you. "As a lyricist, Yasu Akimoto also wants to know what the words that Kiyoshi Sakamoto filled in this piece are?

And what is the difference with your own?

This is also a good habit when Akimoto Yasushi is learning lyrics: what are the differences between the lyrics of the same song and those written by others.

So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took out another identical sheet of music from his backpack, the difference was that the score was filled with lyrics.

That's right, the lyrics above are the lyrics of the original version of "The Petals of the Cherry Blossoms", and Kiyoshi Sakamoto directly "copied" them without missing a word.

It's not that he hasn't thought about changing it, it's really the lyrics written by Yasusu Akimoto for this song, which are so perfect that Kiyoshi Sakamoto can't find anything that can be changed, at least for him now.

Yasu Akimoto took it and started reading the lyrics directly.

"By the window in the classroom, the clear sun is silent"

"There is not much left, the calendar of spring"

Well, the beginning is pretty good, judging from the name of the song "Cherry Blossom Petals", and the second sentence "There is not much left, the calendar of spring", this should be a song with the theme of graduation.

After reading the first two lyrics, Yasu Akimoto quickly saw the theme of this song, and he deserved to be the best lyricist of the lyrics of the Neon Girl Group.

He then looked down.

"When I go to class, I see everyone wearing the same uniform."

"Such a companion looks like an adult"

。。。

The climax of a song usually appears in the chorus, and this song "Cherry Blossom Petals" is no exception.

"When the tiny petals of the cherry blossoms bloom, the bell of hope rings in the earth somewhere"

"Give us the freedom and courage of tomorrow"

"When the small petals of the cherry blossoms bloom, someone must be praying somewhere"

"Open the door to a new world with your own hands"

After seeing the chorus, Yasu Akimoto suddenly put the score on the table.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto had actually been staring at Yasusu Akimoto, and just now, he was thinking like this in his heart.

"When Feiqiu was young, I heard that he was very handsome, how did he become like this? Is it that when you have money and power, and you have women, you won't pay attention to your figure!!?

So,When Yasuya Akimoto put the score on the table all of a sudden,Kiyoshi Sakamoto was half scared to death.,I thought that like Ogawa Zhen.,Said what was in his heart.。。。

However, Yasushi Akimoto's next words turned him from fright to surprise.

"I don't think I have to write the lyrics for this piece. Akimoto said this sentence very blandly.

"Eh, what do you mean?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi vaguely knew what Akimoto meant, but he couldn't believe that Akimoto would do this.

"This is a graduation song, right?" Akimoto did not directly answer Kiyoshi Sakamoto's question, but began to talk about the song.

"Well, yes. Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little confused, but he replied seriously.

"The lyrics and tunes you wrote are great, and the theme is also very in line with the theme I proposed to you last time, "Cherry Blossoms", since the lyrics and music are so perfect, I don't need to mix it up, this song, so be it, the composition and lyrics are all yours. ”

"Eh, eh, eh, ???" Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto guessed it, he was still a little confused when he heard the news from Yasushi Akimoto's mouth.

"Didn't you say that we were working together on a song? Now that the song and the lyrics are written by me, then... Kiyoshi Sakamoto was confused.

This song "Cherry Blossom Petals" is AKB's first self-made underground single and the first song of the Sakura series, and it also has a very high status in AKB's history.

Because this is a graduation-themed song, when some AKB members graduate, they will play this song at the graduation scene as BGM.

This is also one of the few AKB divine comedies in the memory of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's previous life.

It is precisely because of the uniqueness of this song that Sakamoto Kiyoshi chose to take out this song in order to leave his own mark on this AKB, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi believes that as long as he proposes to let AKB sing this song at that time, Akimoto Yasushi will definitely not object.

In this way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will be able to justifiably take out the AKB Divine Comedy that he remembers one by one, so that AKB can rely more on himself in terms of music.

Because only in this way can Kiyoshi Sakamoto control some of the right to speak, such as music production, as well as MV production.

This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's plan, since it is impossible to get the right to operate, then get the right to speak in music, that is a good choice, after all, AKB has always been an idol girl group, and it will definitely release a record.

Of course, it is impossible for the music production to be attributed to him, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto does not ask for much, as long as he can become the first composer above the three pillars of AKB composition, it will be enough.

As for lyrics, let it be left to Yasu Akimoto, anyway, he writes hundreds of lyrics a year, which is very easy.

However, now Yasu Akimoto said directly: I won't write the lyrics for this song, you can do it.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't know what to do in an instant...

Fortunately, Yasushi Akimoto was prepared.

"It's okay, since this song is so well written, and you are the future music producer of Akihabara 48, otherwise, this song will be directly sung by Akihabara 48!"

Hearing this, Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that Feiqiu was digging a pit here, waiting for him to jump in...

first asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto to come up with a piece of music to test his creative skills;

Then I saw that his skills were very good, so I thought, okay, but by Sakamoto Kiyoshi against the army, Sakamoto Kiyoshi directly took out the original lyrics, so that Fei Qiu didn't even have the opportunity to compose lyrics, because the lyrics and the tune were too compatible, Akimoto Yasu couldn't say a reason to refute, so he could only eat this dumb loss;

But Jiang is still old and spicy, Akimoto thought to himself, since you have written all the tunes and lyrics, then okay, just send them to AKB to sing.

The final result is that the song "Cherry Blossom Petals", written and composed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, was directly used by Yasu Akimoto for AKB to sing in the future.

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto originally wanted to work with Yasushi Akimoto and make this song for AKB, active giving and passive giving are completely different concepts!!

But,There's no way.,The lyrics rights of Yasushi Akimoto were all given to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.,It's impossible for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to say something like "Hey, this song can't be sung by AKB.,In that case,Kiyoshi Sakamoto may be kicked out directly by Yasuya Akimoto.。。。

You must know that Yasu Akimoto attaches more importance to the right to compose lyrics than any music creator.

This is also because the income from copyright is too large.

Karaoke is an important source of income for singers and musicians, and a single with millions of sales can basically bring millions to tens of millions of yen a year to a songwriter or lyricist.

That's why Yasu Akimoto has always controlled AKB's lyrics, because every time an album or single is sold, and every karaoke is sung, as a lyricist, he can get a share of the money.

"Well, it's up to you. After all, I'm also a music producer at Akihabara 48, so it's only right to contribute to the organization. Kiyoshi Sakamoto replied doggedly.

"Anyway, the lyrics of this song were originally copied by me, and now they will be returned to their original owners, but I can't help the buddy who composed the song, he has one less song that can be divided. Kiyoshi Sakamoto comforted himself in his heart.

"It's not entirely a bad thing that Sony sent this teenager here, after all, his talent in music will be very helpful in this early stage of Akihabara's start-up. Akimoto Yasushi saw that Sakamoto Kiyoshi agreed so happily, and he also added a lot of points to him in his heart.

In this way, the first "open and secret battle" between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yasuya Akimoto came to an end. . .

。。。。。。

After returning from AKS, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't have time to think too much, so he was dragged by Uncle Ishida to take an album cover photo.

And after Kiyoshi Sakamoto left, in Yasusu Akimoto's office, two people walked in.

If Kiyoshi Sakamoto is still here, he must be too... Didn't know these two.

After all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi didn't pay much attention to the top of AKB in his previous life, and he just focused on the god seven...

"Kang Zhi, Zhijun, you are here. When Akimoto saw the two people coming in, he also greeted the two warmly.

The only people who can come and go in and out of Yasushi Akimoto's office at will, and who can make him so enthusiastic, are the other two AKB founders.

Yasushi Kuwata, Yukitaro Shiba.
