Daisuke Takahara is a first-class musician in the Wa Kingdom, although he is not one of those people at the top of the pyramid, but how can the ranking hover on the edge of the top ten. During this period, he was even more committed to spreading his musical ideas in China. When Chen Tianliao and Song Shiqing participated in the singing and dancing delegation of primary school students in the capital to visit the Japanese, Gao Yuan was the artistic director designated by the Japanese side in the troupe, so they got acquainted very early.

Speaking of cultural communication, Chen Tianliao admires the Japanese people very much. In the past, Wakoku had been trying to promote its culture to the world, and as a result, many things that originated in China were pronounced in English with their corresponding Wakoku pronunciations, such as tofu (tofu), bonsai (bonsai), zen (zen), and so on. Of course, Chen Tianliao may not be convinced by these promotions, but some things still have to be admired, such as the promotion of Go by the Japanese people.

The Wa Kingdom called Go (囲碁), or GO (碁) for short. That's right, the Go in the famous AlphaGo is the Japanese language. The Wa Kingdom not only inherited the long-standing culture of Go, but also carried it forward and pushed the technology of Go to a peak. Not only that, the Wa Guo also carried out a wide range of Go promotion activities around the world, not only funding and sponsoring various Go competitions and holding various Go classes, but also organizing players from all over the world to study and compete in the Wa Kingdom. Among them are Chinese chess players. In the previous life, the rise of Go masters such as the chess saint Nie Weiping and the demon knife Ma Xiaochun helped the Wa State a lot, and the Stick Country Go came from behind, and the Wa people also made great contributions. Therefore, Chen Tianliao has no objection to the English Go being read in the Wa Kingdom.

There are many examples like Go, such as the Chinese women's volleyball team that made the Chinese people proud in their previous life, and its enlightenment teacher was Coach Hirofumi Omatsu, who brought the Japanese women's volleyball team into the "Oriental Witch". Later, according to the guiding ideology of Dasong, Coach Yuan Weiming led the team with great effort in combination with the actual situation of China, and finally made the women's volleyball team the pride of the Chinese people at the beginning of reform and opening up. And Takahara Daisuke was also one of the people who spread the concept of Japanese music to China. While some cultures spread with unpleasant purposes, others are admirable. The spread of Go and women's volleyball belongs to the latter, and Daisuke Takahara also belongs to the latter.

So as soon as they saw Takahara Daisuke, Chen Tianliao and Song Shiqing followed Takekawa and saluted very respectfully. Takahara also politely returned the salute. After the ceremony, the two sides sat down, and the granddaughter of the plateau, Gao Yuan, came up to pour tea for everyone.

Daisuke Takahara picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I have read all of Chen Jun's letters, and I have also listened to Xiaoqing's tapes." Xiaoqing's potential is good, and I am willing to be her tutor. However, I can also train talents for you in China, but I don't need money, I only have a reluctant request. ”

Chen Tianliao hurriedly said, "Sir, please command." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Speaking of which, it's still about worrying about juniors." My granddaughter," he said, pointing to Takahara Maki, "is 18 years old this year, and she has been in the entertainment industry for a few years, and she has not achieved anything. I hope you can help her write an album, as long as you are willing to ask me to serve you, I will use two years of service in exchange for an album for her, how about it?"

Chen Tianliao was taken aback: "How can it be, Mr.'s labor is priceless, I'm afraid my work will insult Mr.!"

Gao Yuan said: "I know that people in your country love modesty, and I am familiar with Chen Jun's works. Even writing songs for a girl group like Luna has a lot of good work, let alone for other people's creations. There are still a few people as talented as Chen Jun in the Chinese music scene, but I have never seen Chen Jun make such great achievements at such an age. I'm afraid even the legendary Mozart can't compare. Therefore, such a deal should be that I took advantage of Chen Jun. ”

Chen Tianliao heard this, knowing that he could not retreat, so he readily agreed. In the Wa Kingdom, Takahara Daisuke's education level is basically the same as his artistic level, and Song Shiqing may not only be the singer he wants to create in the future, but also more likely to become his sister, so it is appropriate to spend some blood for her.

Chen Tianliao said to Song Shiqing: "Okay, Mr. Gao Yuan has promised to tutor you, thank Mr. Hurry up." ”

When Song Shiqing heard this, she jumped up from her seat happily, bowed to Takahara Daisuke, and said, "Thank you, sir, I will definitely listen to Mr.'s teachings!"

Takahara Daisuke nodded with satisfaction, and after listening to Chen Tianliao's translation, he said, "I am also honored to be your husband, you have great potential!"

The real tree of the plateau over there was also very happy, and said to Chen Tianliao: "Chen Sang, thank you for promising grandpa! I will also work hard to not disgrace your work." ”

Chen Tianliao smiled and nodded, and said, "I will also make an album for you." Mr. Takahara, it's better to listen to Xiaoqing sing first, and then help her make a counseling plan. How about I find another place to listen to my granddaughter sing, figure out her vocal characteristics, and create an album for her?"

Daisuke Takahara nodded, "That's it." ”

Chen Tianliao translated his words to Song Shiqing and said, "Xiaoqing, you try your best to show your skills, so that Mr. Gao Yuan can take a good look at your strength!"

Song Shiqing nodded firmly: "Well, I will!"

Chen Tianliao turned to Zhuchuan again: "Mary, you have worked hard to be a translator." ”

Takekawa smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take care of Xiaoqing." ”

Only then did Chen Tianliao turn to Gao Yuan Zhenshu and said, "Miss Zhenshu, you take me to a quieter place, and I'll listen to you sing!"

Hearing this, Maki nodded excitedly and said, "Please come with me!"

Chen Tianliao followed Zhenshu out of the community and came to a bench by a green space downstairs. Zhenshu said, "Chen Sang, you can sit and listen to me sing." ”

Chen Tianliao was not polite, sat on the bench, and said to Zhenshu: "You sing." ”

Maki began to sing. As soon as she spoke, Chen Tianliao was startled. Although Maki's voice is not much different from that of ordinary people when he speaks, as soon as he sings, his voice becomes deep and deep, not at all like an eighteen-year-old girl. No wonder she has a big grandfather in the entertainment industry, but she can't be famous no matter how she sings. The voice seemed a little strange to the girl. However, her singing skills are very solid, her vocal range is relatively wide, and she has strong plasticity.

But Chen Tianliao quickly found a template for the real tree. Although Yamaguchi Momoe, a generation of divas of the Wa Kingdom in the previous life, debuted with a crisp girlish voice, the voice changed very significantly in the later period, and the mid-bass voice was very outstanding. Because Yamaguchi Momoe quit the entertainment industry at the age of 20 to concentrate on his husband and children, even in the later period, his age is not much different from that of Maki.

Chen Tianliao decided to let Maki try Yamaguchi Momoe's song. He thought of "Autumn Sakura (Autumn Sakura)". This song is still a work written and composed by Masashi Sada, an old friend of the Chinese in the previous life, describing the complicated feelings of a girl facing her mother before she got married. Chen Tianliao liked this song very much, so he decided to let Maki try to sing this song.

He took out the simple stave book he carried with him, and after quickly marking the tune, he wrote the lyrics on it (please Baidu for the original text, not for hydrology.) I haven't learned professional Japanese, so please forgive me for my translation):

"Pale red autumn cherry blossoms, swaying in the warm autumn sun. At this time, the mother, who was in tears, coughed in front of the courtyard. In the hallway, the photo album opens, reminiscing about my childhood. I repeated the same words over and over again, as softly as I did to myself.

"Such a small spring (the climate of the tenth month of the Japanese lunar calendar is like a spring day), this sunny day, the body and mind are immersed in your tenderness. No matter how hard it is, time will turn it into a joke, don't worry. You smiled and said to me who will marry tomorrow.

"After chasing these and such memories, I realized that I was never alone at any time. Now that I realized my waywardness, I couldn't help but bite my lip. Ask you to help clean up tomorrow's dowry, although you have a moment of joy, but suddenly burst into tears and say, 'Take care.'"

"Looking back on the words of gratitude, I will try to live with it. Such a little spring, in this sunny day, let me snuggle up to you again and be your child for a while!"

It should be said that this is a song with rich feelings, and it is difficult to sing the taste of this song without a certain life experience. But at the beginning, Masashi Sada wrote it to 18-year-old Momoe Yamaguchi.

At first, Momoe Yamaguchi considered that he should transform as he grew older, so he asked singer-songwriter Masashi Sada. Sada casually agreed, but forgot about it afterwards. Later, Yamaguchi called again and asked Sada if he had written it, and Sada remembered that there was such a thing. When it came to creating, Sada didn't follow the usual path. He thinks Yamaguchi is a very traditional girl, and estimates that her marriage will be the end of her acting career. At the same time, he heard that Yamaguchi had a good relationship with his mother, so he wrote this song. After receiving this song, Yamaguchi Momoe felt inexplicable and called to ask why Sada wrote this song for her, and Sada said something that I don't know if it was esoteric or nonsensical: "It would be nice if this day came early." Momoe Yamaguchi didn't know what Sata meant, but released the song as her 19th single on October 1, 1977.

On October 5, 1980, exactly three years later, Momoe Yamaguchi sang the song while standing on the stage of the Budokan in her wedding dress for her last performance. Sada didn't come because he had his own performance, but Yamaguchi left a message to thank Sada and said that he finally understood the meaning of the song. And this song has finally become a classic in the Japanese music scene, and has been covered by countless male and female singers. In the future, there will often be such a scene in the wedding of the Wa Kingdom: the married girl reads a letter to her parents at the wedding, thanking them for their nurturing grace. During the reading process, "Autumn Cherry Blossoms" will be played as background music.

At this time, Gao Yuan Zhenshu, who is also 18 years old, looked at the lyrics written by Chen Tianliao, and his heart was also confused. It seems to be a little heavy, and a little warm, and the picture seems to be very warm, the little girl thought. But how to express this feeling and this picture, the little girl really can't say why.

Chen Tianliao didn't ask her to know more about this song, but just handed the song sheet to Gao Yuan Zhenshu and said, "You watch it first." Then go back and ask Mr. Takahara how to sing this song. If Mr. Takahara thinks it's a good fit, then I'll help you create this album. ”

Maki snorted and said, "That...... Chen Sang, can you sing this song for me to listen to?"

Chen Tianliao looked at the plateau and nodded with a smile. And he began to sing. In the first lyrics, he used the male singer Masaharu Fukuyama's version of singing, and in the second lyrics, he used the original singing method of Yamaguchi Momoe. Maki heard the mystery: "This seems to be ...... Not exactly the same song?"

Chen Tianliao nodded again and said, "It's two different arrangements and interpretations of the same song." When the time comes, you just need to sing your own "Autumn Sakura". I think Mr. Takahara has a lot more experience in this area than I do. ”
