(Thanks to the "Cao Cao's Capital" for the reward, and the brother with 43 recommended votes, it's not easy.) ）

Accepting the creation of the theme song of the movie "Attack on the Behemoth" was something agreed upon from the beginning.

In his spare time, Junya Watanabe reproduced a song "Desert Island" with a simple guitar chord arrangement, which is also a folk song-type track.

Pushing open the wooden door of the recording studio, a man and a woman were working on the sofa.

The man's light blue long-sleeved shirt, jeans, and appearance and Uncle Tamura Jun are a type, somewhat handsome, with a faint bookish atmosphere.

I searched on Google before I came, and I knew that this man was once the queen producer of Ayumi Hamasaki, one of the three major singers of Heisei.

His name is Kazuhito Kikuchi.

The other is Namie Amuro, who has a baby face and exudes sexy and mature charm.

"Hello Amuro sensei, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

When you meet someone you are familiar with, you must say hello first.

"I heard you came over to record, so I came over to take a look. ”

Namie Amuro said very casually, pointing to the man sitting in front of the mixer opposite, and said with a smile:

"You know, right?"

"Kunichiva, Kazuhito Kikuchi-sensei!"

He bowed very respectfully.

Kazuhito Kikuchi glanced him up and down and bowed his head slightly.

"Did you really write 'The Inner Activity When I Like You'?"

There was a hint of doubt in his voice, and the sharpness in his eyes flashed.

Watanabe's heart jumped, but his face remained silent.

"Of course. ”

"To be able to create such a work at the age of eighteen seems to be really old!"

Kazuhito Kikuchi sighed and glanced at Amuro, only each other understood the meaning of the sentence.

With the passing of Pozaki (Ayumi Hamasaki) and the overwhelming of Alain, the career of the gold medal music producer has been declining, and his creative inspiration has gradually begun to dry up.

But not participating in the lyrics and suites, just working as an arranger and mixer, there is no pressure on this big brother, after all, the sword is not old.

"The accompaniment to the song "When I Like You" has been completed, since you are here, let's record the song! According to the first single plan decided before, it will be officially released in May, and it will be launched together with PV, the time is very tight, are you making a movie now?"

"Hi. Jun Watanabe nodded.

"You also wrote the theme song of the movie, right?

"Hi. ”

Jun Watanabe took out Kingston's 32g mini USB flash drive from the Seven Wolves crossbody bag and handed it over.

Kazuhito Kikuchi took it, put it on the table, raised the coffee and took two sips.

"Record first, then listen, and to be honest, I'm really looking forward to your second original song!"

Watanabe Jun is embarrassed and doesn't know how to respond to him, after all, it's not his own original.

"You look nervous, first time in the studio?"

Jun Watanabe nodded awkwardly.

"Would you like to relax with a cup of coffee?" Kikuchi Kazuhito gestured with a glass raised.

He nodded, from last night to now, non-stop, insomnia watching videos at night, urgently making song samples, and recording three variety shows in a row during the day, bothered by the photos taken by the paparazzi, hated by Yasuke Akimoto, and Nanase Nishino......

I was really tired mentally.

"I'll play the accompaniment for you first, and get acquainted with it!"

Kazuhito Kikuchi said that he clicked the pre-made accompaniment in his laptop, and the soothing piano sound was perfectly presented along the **L 15-inch woofer passive speaker, cello, drum kit or intermingle, the resonance of these instruments created a faint melancholy atmosphere.

It's not easy for Jun Watanabe to restore the original lyrics and songs, and the arrangement part is still not enough, so I can only strengthen my learning in the future, and strive to be the same as Jay, not only the lyrics, but also the music producer, and even the PV.

I have to say that Jay, as the label of pop music in the post-80s era, is indeed a talented singer-songwriter who has infected a generation and has been popular for so many years, not for no reason.

However, Jun Watanabe, the arranger of this song, contributed his own suggestions, using real pianos, cellos, and drums as the main instruments for the arrangement.

The reason is very simple, Kazuhito Kikuchi is a master of pop music, the arrangement is more inclined to pop, the sound of electronic synthesizers is more, the combination of electronic music and pop music, and its production is dominated by electronic synthesizers, computer music production software and other equipment.

With the development of technology, electronic music has taken an important place in the pop music field, but most of the songs written by Watanabe are still folk.

In the field of music production, on the one hand, the timbre of many acoustic instruments is indeed unattainable by current sampling or electroacoustic instruments, such as orchestral music, ethnic instruments and acoustic guitars, etc., especially orchestral music, which still needs to be recorded when the cost allows.

Listening to the accompaniment in his ears, he took a few sips of coffee handed over by Kazuhito Kikuchi and cheered up some spirits, and Jun Watanabe hummed the lyrics casually, gradually becoming familiar.

After humming along to the accompaniment about two or three times, he pushed open the door to the next studio and walked in.

It's so quiet that it seems to be living in a vacuum, and it seems that it is well insulated.

He walked slowly to the microphone, the microphone through the round pop filter, the lyric book standing upright on the lyric stand, and he put on the Audio-Technica headphones.

Then he looked at the soundproof glass opposite Namie Amuro and made a fist-hugging gesture, but he didn't expect this eldest sister to be quite warm.

Kazuhito Kikuchi's voice came clearly from the earphones.

"I played the accompaniment. ”

"Hi. ”

As the accompaniment sounded in his ears, Jun Watanabe squinted his eyes slightly and fully immersed in the singing of the song.

After all, he is a powerful singer, and after about half an hour of recording, the whole song is easily done.

Jun Watanabe's singing skills were once again praised by Kazuhito Kikuchi.

"Okay, the song has been recorded, and the post-mixing production will be put to a later stage, let's listen to Ah Chun's new song first!"

"Can't wait. Namie Amuro changed her lazy lying position and sat up.

Kikuchi Kazuren inserted the USB flash drive into the interface with some anticipation, clicked on the USB flash drive, and opened the mp3 format file called "Desert Island".

After a faint sound of guitar, there was a deep male voice.

I heard the sound of raindrops falling

Tick on my heart bit by bit

I heard wakefulness at midnight

There is no one path that leads to your heart

I heard a blind dragonfly

Fall in love with a hollow glass bottle

I hear the sound of melting snow and ice

but I can't hear your echo in the wind

I hear your voice

At the top of the northernmost hill

I hear your response

At the deepest seabed

I hear you crying

In the layers of waves

I hear your decision

In the dreams of the birds

I heard the clouds playing the organ

Like a letter without a message

I heard the dawn bell approaching

But no one can flee with me

I heard a stranded blue whale

The explosion made a loud noise

I heard the sound of charcoal burning

Leave an indelible mark in the flames

I can't hear you

At the top of the northernmost hill

I can't hear you back

At the deepest seabed

You can't hear me crying in the layers of the waves

You can't hear my decision

In barren love

......

Under such a rough musical sample, Watanabe's male voice with a high sense of pure density became a little hoarse and rough, but it added a moderate sense of vicissitudes to his young voice, relying only on the accompaniment of a few simple chords, no one thought that inferior sound sources could also present amazing results.

His highly personal and rich mid-bass voice brings people a primitive impact and feeling in the interpretation of a cappella.

Like the wind blowing from the north side of the mountains, it carries a fresh and wild breath that hits the bottom of my heart.

Listening to this, the corners of Sister Namie Amuro's eyes gradually moistened.

Kazuhito Kikuchi looked at Jun Watanabe's eyes with only admiration.

Born singer.

(ps. Lyrics and composition together are a cappella, and arrangement is accompaniment + harmony, roughly understood in this way.)

"We Are All Good Boys" is Cao Fang's, and "Desert Island" is Xie Chunhua's, you can listen to it, it's great. ）
