Chapter 53: The Album
After Kim Do-joon returned home, he directly left this matter behind, and now he has no air to care about these things.
After returning to the apartment, Kim Do-joon instructed Han Sung-ho to find himself a Japanese teacher to teach him to learn Japanese, and as a singer, especially a Korean singer, he must always maintain a learning posture and actively attack overseas markets, especially the Japanese market.
As we all know, Japan is the largest and most complete audio-visual market in Asia, and citizens generally support the purchase of genuine music, so basically all Korean singers, especially idol artists, will choose Japan as a secondary market or directly debut in Japan to pan for gold.
In terms of language, many people in Korea know Japanese, and some people say that Japanese is equivalent to the second language of Korea, and although there are many political conflicts between countries, people-to-people exchanges are still relatively active, and you can know from the daily flights from Gimpo Airport to Japan, and the connection is very close.
In addition, Korean and Japanese belong to the same language family, and the grammatical structure is almost the same, so it is relatively easy to learn, and if you study it carefully, you will soon be able to communicate freely.
SS501 of TVXQ and DSP of S.M company is mainly aimed at the Japanese market, so basically every singer can speak a little Japanese, and some members have reached a very fluent level.
Kim Do-joon is such a person, he will never be satisfied with the status quo, and if he hadn't been studying constantly, he might not have achieved this achievement.
The next day, Kim Do-joon asked Gary and Ji to meet together and talk about the new album, although it is a group that has been established for five years, but its popularity in South Korea is also very average, basically there is no announcement, except for commercial performances, roadshows or night shows, basically idle at home, no need to be on variety shows or anything, as soon as I heard Kim Do-joon call himself to discuss the album, they all rushed over.
Gary has been living in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, so some people call him Jamsil Gary, and Ji has been living in Mapo, Gangbuk-gu, so some people call him Mapo-gil.
The three of them went directly to the coffee shop near Gary's house, and the three of them were all coffee lovers, and they came directly to the coffee shop every time they met, not because they didn't like the barbecue restaurant, but because Kim Do-joon couldn't drink, and even if he went, it would be a disappointment, so it was better to drink coffee and talk about the new album.
"Brother Gary, Brother Ji, over here."
This time, Kim Do-joon arrived early, sat down, and helped them order their favorite coffee, a cup of mocha, a latte, and their favorite American iced coffee.
"Do-joon, why did you call us out today to discuss the new album?" Yoshichi asked as soon as he sat down.
Kim Do-joon continued as he bit the straw and kept sucking the cup of coffee.
"I want to discuss with you about the new album, how to say that the three of us are also starting anew, and let's see if we can release an album this year."
Gary listened to Kim Do-joon's words, nodded and said, "The company was supposed to help us release an album this year, and the two of us have already written a few songs, but none of them are suitable as the title song of this album." ”
"That's right." Kim Do-joon touched his temples and was thinking.
"Why don't I put my 'Joker' on this album?" Kim Do-joon asked in a low voice.
Both of them were thinking about what the style of the album was like and whether the song "Joker" would fit into the album.
"The style is okay, it's just a little less feeling, the style of this album has been positioned as crazy after the breakup of men and women, the song "Joker" is still not suitable as the title song, if "Joker" is re-adapted, Ji and I will join in, and there will be one less person to do feat, Daojun, your rap is completely different from mine, we can each sing a bar, as for Ji, we can find another person to help us do feat, Ji, what do you think of my proposal."
Gary said everything he wanted to say in one go.
"Well, that's a good idea, you can try it, but who is going to do feat now, the time is so tight, and I don't think anyone is suitable for singing this song."
Ji took off his hat and scratched at his bare head, sweating and itching.
"I think BMK is good, explosive, has a good voice, and the key image is also suitable, isn't it often that netizens attack her figure?"
Gary said, clasping his hands behind his head.
"When you say that, I remember that I was indeed maliciously slandered some time ago, and I heard that I was sad for a long time, and I haven't gone out for a long time! Now it looks like it fits the name of the song "Joker", the laughter on stage and the tears off the stage, this is really good, and the sound is good. Yoshiya agreed.
"Then why don't we contact each other first and see what the other party says, if there is a schedule, let's talk to Brother Tiger about going into the studio and giving it a try, what do you say?"
Kim Do-joon saw that Gary and Jidu had agreed on the target candidate, and decisively began to push for the implementation of this matter.
"OK, this matter is on me, I have a good relationship with BMK, I have crossed paths before, I went to her agent to ask, if it works, let's record it as soon as possible." Gary said excitedly.
"Daojun, although there is "Joker" you created, but I always feel that it is still a little suspenseful, the three of us are also a new departure, a new beginning, and strive for this album to be a big hit, I think I have to create another song, preferably about love, so as to meet the positioning of this album, and match several other songs, what do you think?"
Don't look at Ji Chubby, and he looks dull, but he is actually a very talented person, and those who know him know that he is a musician and hiphop singer who is very good at composing.
"Okay, then I'll prepare well and see if I can create another good song if I have any inspiration."
Kim Do-joon didn't dare to pack the ticket, the creation was originally a shadowless thing, and there was no opportunity to create a song casually, which was either waste or semi-garbage.
Kim Do-jun suddenly remembered what Pei Yongjun said yesterday, and thought about whether to tell them, if they didn't tell them, if they met in the future, they would know that they would definitely be a little unhappy in their hearts, and finally decided to tell them.
"Brother Gary, Brother Ji, when I went to the beauty salon yesterday, I saw Brother Yongjun, Pei Yongjun."
"Ahh You actually met Brother Yongjun, why is it so coincidental. Originally, Gary was still wearing sunglasses, but he immediately took them off, looked at Kim Do-joon and said.
"Well, we also had dinner together in the evening, and they also told me to help me socialize."
Kim Do-jun said it deliberately in order to make them jealous, and sometimes appropriate jokes are also a way to increase the feelings of friends.
"I want to help you with friendship, then did you agree, if Brother Yongjun wants to help you friendship, they are all top stars in South Korea."
Ji said with an envious face.
Kim Do-joon looked at Gary and Ji and found that the expressions of the two were completely different, Ji was completely excited, feeling that the person who participated in the friendship was himself, and Gary looked a little sad, just sitting here drinking coffee and not speaking, it was a world of difference from the active appearance just now.
"What's wrong with Brother Gary, when it comes to friendship, his expression has changed." Kim Do-joon asked softly at Ji.
"He just broke up with his girlfriend and met during the trip, and his girlfriend fell in love with other rich people in the friendship and broke up with him."
Yoshiya replied cautiously, for fear of being heard.
After Jin Daojun heard it, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, why did he say that he was talking about friendship, he must have touched the scene and was sad, he was so stupid, and after saying that, he hit himself, and with a "snap", Gary was frightened.
"Daojun, what's wrong with you, why are you beating yourself." Gary asked, confused.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry Brother Gary, my mouth was too fast just now, I accidentally hurt you, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry." Kim Do-jun lowered his head and whispered.
"I don't mind, it's okay, Daojun I'll tell you a story, in 2005, we released our third album, there was a song "I'm not laughing", that song was written for her, when the first album came out, I didn't fall in love for four or five years, and then I met her on a club trip, and then we started dating, and we broke up in 05, and then I created the song "I'm not laughing", and when she heard the lyrics I wrote, she came back to me, but now they broke up again, so my heart is not sad, just a faint melancholy. ”
Gary said in a low voice, it was not easy to say it from his own mouth, especially for a man who had been hurt a lot.
"Do-joon, you don't know, I wasn't good at writing lyrics at all, on the contrary, I liked dancing very much, and once I won the championship in a dance competition, and there were also members of HOT who participated in the same period at the same time, and I gave up signing because I wanted to go to university, and you said I was unlucky."
Kim Dojun looked at the somewhat lost man in front of him, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't think of any comforting words, he hadn't experienced these things himself, and he didn't have the feeling of knowing where to start, so he could only gently pat Gary's shoulder to appease him.
"Okay, Gary, now that it's over, don't think about it, life has to go on, people have to move on, don't you, remember that we didn't have money before, we didn't even have money to take the bus, didn't we survive?"
Ji said as he pushed his sunglasses.
"Or, let's rearrange "I'm Not Laughing" and launch a remix version, since everyone likes this song so much, you might as well reinterpret it, and it just so happens that Dojoon has also been added, and you can run in a little more. Ji went on to say that he had brewed this idea before, and he had never had a chance to say it, but today he had an idea and said it instantly.
"Then we can go and practice again when we have time, and reassign the songs, since there is one more person, it must feel different from before."
When the three of them talk about music, they will be very serious, eliminating all distractions, and even the atmosphere has changed.
"In that case, then let's discuss it, Daojun, if you have time, try to create it, I hope the story I told today will help you in your creation, we are free for the past two days, let's start rehearsing first, and by the way, reassign your "Joker" to the recording, as for the feat matter, I'll deal with it, rest assured."
Gary has returned to the expression he had when he first came, although it is still a little gloomy, but at least it has gotten a lot better, the blow of feelings is sometimes very deep for a person, many people are slumped, for others, the blow is the motivation to move forward, and it will bloom more perfectly.
Note 1: Gary's things are all true, to be honest, now looking at the Monday couple can understand his sadness, he is a good man.
