"Deep in the mountains, I really have to do it again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" CHOKKAKU-san, who was sitting in the studio, said to Mai in front of him, this is the 25th time that it has been repeated - Shota and CHOKKAKU-san started SOLO's recording early this morning, but it doesn't seem to work very well - Shota's voice came from CHOKKAKU-san's headphones, "I see." ”

Through the thick glass wall, Shota in the recording room said into the microphone. CHOKKAKU MAKES AN OK GESTURE, AND SHOTA STARTS AGAIN. THE ACCOMPANIMENT PLAYS, AT FIRST IT IS A SMALL NOISE, FOLLOWED BY A BRIGHT GUITAR LEAD, AND SHOTA FUKAYAMA'S VOICE FOLLOWS CLOSELY, "僕らの生まれてくる......" LISTENING TO SHOTA'S VOICE, CHOKKAKU-SAN FROWNED.

"CUT-", CHOKKAKU-SAN STOPPED ACCOMPANIMENT, "DEEP MOUNTAINS, LISTEN TO ME, TAKE A DEEP BREATH." Music, the most important thing is the contract. The simplest is the songwriting contract, which is also the most basic. On top of that, there is the main melody and voice contract, the arrangement and main theme contract, and finally the voice and arrangement contract. You also saw yesterday how much the inadvertent noises and drumbeats in the arrangement can change the feel of the music. You sang before, the first two points are very good, but the most subtle, and the most important voice and arrangement contract, completely ignored, you.

Voice & Arrangement...... Is it?

"The so-called voice and arrangement contract is essentially rhythm. We usually like to say 'melody', 'melody' is a regular, rhythmic sound, the voice is loaded on the arranged music, how to sing a certain sentence, not the singer does what he wants, but to cooperate with the arrangement to change the rhythm of his singing, so that the melody, arrangement, and voice will achieve a perfect balance, rather than letting one side occupy an overwhelming position. In this so-called rhythm or melody, the emotions of the music will be completely overflowing, and the impression to the audience is exactly what the author wants to express, this feeling is the most simple, even ordinary people who have not undergone any training can fully feel it, and your target audience, isn't it this group of people? ”

Rhythm...... Is it?

Shota Fukayama, who was separated by a wall, closed his eyes and fell into thinking, and his fingers were inserted into his ears, which was his habitual action when thinking. Suddenly, as if a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, Shota opened his eyes, and his fingers pulled out of his ears at the same time, "I see!" Master, let's do it again. ”

“OK！”

And so it was another recording. The accompaniment is played, and a small noise is followed by a bright guitar, followed by the voice of Shota Fukayama, "僕らの生まれてくる、ずっとずっと前にはもう。 アポロ11号は、月に行ったっていうのに......"

AT THE END OF THE BAR, CHOKKAKU GESTURED TO STOP AND BEGAN TO PLAY BACK THE RECORDING OF THE DEEP MOUNTAIN. Hearing the halfway through, CHOKKAKU-san's eyes widened, Shota Fukayama was surprisingly good this time, no, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's perfect, arrangement, voice, main melody, and then arrangement, voice, main melody, so repeated cycles, the balance between the three is just right, and the continuous melody comes to the face, as if it is the tide of the sea, but I can't feel the pressure of strong feelings at all. In addition, Shenshan has only been thinking about it for half an hour, and he has already achieved such a point, which is really a talent. "Deep mountain, listen to it yourself and tell me how you feel."

"Ah, okay."

Another recording replay. "How?" "Hmm~, I don't have any special feelings, but I think this recording is much better than the previous two."

"お前、ちょっと......," CHOKKAKU-san couldn't help but laugh, "this is a genius who makes music completely on his own instincts, but he doesn't play it at will." Forget it, let's let the mountains go on like this, and if it develops naturally like this, what will it grow into, I'm really interested. ”

"OK, THEN LET'S PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF,......" CHOKKAKU BEGAN TO PREPARE TO RECORD THE SECOND BAR, BUT WAS INTERRUPTED BY SHOTA, "THAT...... I think it's better to start from scratch, and I think I'd like to try One-Take......"

"That's what you think...... Okay, then start from scratch, after all, you can't ask for segmented recording in the future. ”

So the master and apprentice duo restarted the recording of "Apollo", this time it didn't take long to complete it, and it was a rare One-Take, followed by "Little Love Song", no need to ask, this is also a song from Shota's dream, the original song Mongol800, which was also their debut in 2001, and sold 1.07 million copies in the year of release, ranking 4th in Oricon. However, this song is a typical song celebrity is not popular, the original singer Mongol800 did not begin to appear in mainstream variety shows and music programs until 2007, but it was Zhou Xiao and Yui Aragaki who were covered and widely acclaimed. WITH THE FIRST SONG AS AN EXPERIENCE, "LITTLE LOVE SONG" WAS QUICKLY RECORDED, AND AFTER THAT, ONLY A SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED TO SEND IT TO THE FACTORY TO SUPPRESS THE SINGLE, AND UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF CHOKKAKU-SAN, THIS PART WAS ALSO QUICKLY COMPLETED.

“よっしゃぁ！ That's it! Shota lay on the ground, and the SOLO single, which lasted nearly thirty hours, was finally completed, and it was already nine o'clock in the night. Listening to the first original work completed by the master and apprentice playing on the stereo, Shota danced in ecstasy, and Chokkaku-san took out shochu and dried squid again, and looked at Shota Fukayama with a smile while drinking sake. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT CHOKKAKU-SAN IS THINKING AT THE MOMENT, BUT THE MOON OUTSIDE THE STUDIO WINDOW IS EXCEPTIONALLY ROUND TONIGHT.
