The difficulty and complexity of a song, the level of the song itself, and the feelings contained in the song are naturally very important, but the arrangement can also bring enough complexity to a song, and the song "givemefive", the version in Zhou Xiao's history originally had many abbreviated parts, and now let an AKB selection team with enough technical advantages to do this song, the operation side can rest assured that it will be more difficult.

This 2012 AKB Group's new single, the members of the selection team are: Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Minami Takahashi, and Aya Yamamoto used guitar bass in the first row.

Airi Mayu, Shinoda Kojima, Ono Miyazawa second row, in addition to the keyboard and the synthesizer similar to the keyboard, Shinoda and Kojima are two tall beauties, Kojima is actually holding a saxophone and blowing, and Shinoda is also a wind instrument, she is holding a flute that is almost the same, but it is actually a traditional Japanese musical instrument "shakuhachi".

Kindness...... Shinoda has a stalk called "Air Ocarina", and now the Air Ocarina has finally become a real flute, and it doesn't matter if it's a pottery or not.

As for Ono and Miyazawa, there is a taiko drum in front of Miyazawa, this instrument was originally claimed to be Kawanishi Tomomi's specialty, but unfortunately Kawasai did not enter the selection group this time, so the person who plays the taiko drum becomes Miyazawa, and Ono's instrument is a ...... Shamisen.

That's right, the AKB Group band established by Zhou Xiao is not a pure light rock band, but a band that looks a little messy, behind the obvious rock instruments electric guitar and electric bass in the first row, the back six people are mixed with three Japanese national instruments.

Further back, it's even more amazing, referring to Rino Hara's trombone, Yuki Kashiwagi's drum kit, which was asked by Zhou Xiao to start practicing since joining AKB, among which Kashiwagi was the first time to contact the drum kit, and Arihara only participated in the light section to practice trombone for a period of time when he was in school.

Next to these two people, Jurina Matsui has a wind instrument in her hand, a clarinet from a Western symphony. And Ami Sato next to her sat there pulling an erhu of Chinese folk music...... Looking further aside, Li Chun's guzheng may have been learned from the Twelve Women's Orchestra, and Reina Matsui plucked the harp......

At last...... Yuka Masuda, Saika Akimoto, Miyuki Watanabe and Akion Takayanagi formed a four-member chorus......

The 20-member selection team lineup takes into account Chinese folk music, Japanese traditional musical instruments and Western bands, and in terms of candidates, those who can enter this selection group can be entered outside the first three phases. Including Aya Yamamoto in the first row and Shishihara Kashiwagi in the third row, Reina Jurina, Ami Nakana Takayanagi, and Miyuki Watanabe.

Compared with the previous selection group, this selection group, the members of the first three phases have become the absolute main force, Masuda Yuhua and Akimoto Saiga, two girls who are normally difficult to enter the selection group, joined the selection group, but to say how much this selection group really needs the members of the first three phases to support the band plan, there is no such thing, and the TOP that must really enter has all entered. Even if Masuda and Akimoto enter the selection, it is not a position for any instrument, but a position for singing harmony.

The reason why Zhou Xiao selected the members like this is mainly because he thinks that from this year, AKB will also start to consider the issue of generational change. When it comes to the next AKB summer single, maybe a large number of members will start to be used after the eighth term and even after the ninth term, so this graduation sheet. It may be the last glory of the members of the old era.

For AKB in the previous life, the operation usually does not do this kind of thing, and the members who have judged that there is no chance will let them grow on their own. The reason is simple, these people ...... There are many people who are not AKS at all, and maybe these people may become top artists in the future, but at this stage, they are not of any help to the AKB family.

There is no need to waste resources for this group of people who can't make money for themselves now, and even if they make money in the future, it won't belong to AKS.

Mixing Japanese instruments, Chinese instruments, and Western instruments, I play a soft rock graduation song, and the arrangement of this song is ...... Zhou Xiao studied with the people of being and the music author from China for a long time before finally deciding.

Even so, in the whole song, Japanese and Chinese folk instruments still have a small presence, and it is still the instruments of traditional rock bands that determine the direction of the whole song.

And those folk music instruments have other functions.

The song "givemefive" is not only good for the girls to play, but also for their singing.

Since AKB's debut, it has been used in real singing when the number of people is small, and this live performance, real singing is even more natural, and after a long period of preparation, the girls' performance is quite good, the voice is very stable, and the phenomenon of being out of tune is not even there, so it can be said that this performance was completed perfectly.

The audience didn't know what expressions to use to face it.

Girl orchestra or something, maybe a lot of people have thought about this idea, but intellectually, they also know very well that this thing is difficult to succeed, the members are too busy with their work, and under normal circumstances, they can't have time to be busy with this kind of practice for a single, such as in the previous life, the girls claimed to have practiced for half a year, but they practiced that effect in half a year, and you can imagine how much thought they put into it.

But...... It's just such a thing that everyone thinks is impossible, and Zhou Xiao has done it successfully!

Not to mention professional musicians like Chunjun, let's just talk about ordinary people, they don't have such excellent music appreciation utilitarianism, and they can't tell what is craftsmanship and spirituality, what is the cry of life and what is the collision of souls.

So to their ears, the girls' performances are simply perfect, no different from those professional musicians, AKB members...... In their opinion, they can even be pulled out and performed as a musician!

That's amazing! It's perfect! How did they do it!? How much else is hidden in the AKB Group that has not been revealed! Martial arts is followed by a band, is there anything else this group of girls can't do!? They're just idols! Can't you let them sing honestly and be cute!? What a professional band! This kind of single, if you don't chop your hands, wouldn't you have to buy it bankruptly!

It can be said that the feelings of most of the core rice species of the AKB group are broken.

Not only the core rice, but the ordinary rice is actually just as collapsed, a 20-member girl orchestra?

This kind of dream-like thing is not only made, but can it be done so well?

Almost everyone thought of a possibility, this girl orchestra ...... It's definitely not a one-shot deal!

It's like the girls practiced kung fu for two years before.,Although it looks like the girls practiced for the first "Road Suga School Park.。 But in fact, because of this skill, the girls have a lot of more ways to play out of thin air.

Like Akimoto Caiga, in the news that has been coming out in the past two years, the girl has even become a bit of an international actress and is walking in the direction of Michelle Yeoh.

And Miyazawa Sae, there are also many invitations from Chinese crews, but most of these invitations are invitations to anti-Japanese dramas, and it is impossible for Zhou Xiao to agree to it.

Coupled with the MV of "Flying Start" for the girls here in Japan, the super energy system academy drama ...... This has become the biggest difference between AKB girls and normal female artists now.

Japanese actresses used to just sell cuteness on TV and shoot some literary dramas. This has led to higher requirements for actors' appearance and acting skills.

But Zhou Xiao let the AKB girls practice this, and the result was to broaden their acting path in an instant! Girls who originally needed excellent looks and outstanding acting skills to play the starring role now have a new path to take.

This road is actually not easy, practice the body, practice kung fu and the like, when I practiced, including Maeda Yuko and other girls, they were all practiced by the instructors and cried, and they also asked Zhou Xiao more than once, why they need to practice this little idol who sings and dances in the theater.

Now the girls understand.

Although Zhou Xiao has never refused talented girls to join. But it turns out that really talented people are only a handful, and Maeda and Yuko are already very talented, but if they want to become successful actresses. Their talent is far inferior to the kind of girl who can be called Zhong Lingyuxiu in Nagasawa Horikita, since the talent is not enough, then they can only work hard to make up, and this road will undoubtedly be difficult. But at least...... This road can see the light of day, doesn't it?

This girl orchestra looks the same, unlike the previous acting, this girl orchestra. Zhou Xiao is obviously looking for a way out for girls in professional music, just like in his previous life, Aya Yamamoto relied on his guitar skills to get quite a lot of opportunities to appear in music programs, in this life AKB can play musical instruments, can fiddle with musical instruments, and even said that there are more people who can fiddle with Chinese and Japanese national musical instruments, and when the time comes, ...... What kind of red and white song party, UTAGE and water yao song festival and the like can't be said without a shot.

The talent is not hard enough to make up, and it would be better if you could still throw money at it.

"How? Not bad, right? On the edge of the stage, Qiu Yuankang had already come to Zhou Xiao's side.

In his opinion, what Zhou Xiao did was a little unreasonable, and it was not so miscellaneous to spend money, so many years in advance to prepare this thing, God knows what will happen, such as Mai Oshima and Itano Yumi, they have also practiced their respective musical instruments, but now, after both of them graduate, that part of the considerable investment is equivalent to a waste.

This was the first time a few years ago when the plan was first implemented to let the girls practice musical instruments, and in the past year, when Zhou Xiao took out "GivemeFive" to show Akimoto Yasu, he wanted to say more.

According to his idea, the song "GiveMeFive" looks like a so-called graduation single that takes a catchy route, and this kind of song is inherently not suitable for complex and frenetic rock arrangements, even if you want to go the rock route, it is best to have the kind of simple and easy light rock to fit the impression of the song.

What he said...... Actually, it's true, in the previous life, AKB would use this song, not for the sake of simplicity, but at this time, it really doesn't need to be too complicated.

But the version that Zhou Xiao has come up with now, although it is still not very professional, it is no longer an amateur level.

This kind of song, Yasuya Akimoto seems to be a little inappropriate.

But in Zhou Xiao's view, this kind of thing can be said to have a problem of trade-offs, you take the simple and close to the people of the song, what you lose is the depth of the song's connotation technology, you take the latter, what you lose is the former, this is a choice in two directions.

And one more thing. In Akimoto's view, compared with the choice of the former, the pressure and risk brought by choosing the latter are far less than the benefits of choosing the latter, at least this benefit is not something that can be seen in a short period of time, or even four or five years.

This can be said to be the biggest difference between Akimoto Yasushi and Zhou Xiao when they talk about AKB, Zhou Xiao likes to put a long line to catch big fish, and two or three years of preparation is nothing to him at all. It is not impossible to prepare for four or five years, and it is not impossible for Akimoto Yasu to say that he doesn't want to put a long line to catch big fish, but the key to him is that he doesn't have Zhou Xiao's plug-in.

So in his opinion, every time Zhou Xiao acts, he is dancing on a tightrope, and if something is messed up, it may be a few years of hard work in a flash.

This time was the same, Zhou Xiao carried Qiu Yuanyasu's opposition. From the plan he started a few years ago, to now that it has finally been shown in front of the world, he can't help but show off to Akimoto Yasu.

"Awesome! It's really amazing! If I were given it, I would never have dared to make such a preparation so far in advance. It's too risky, but ...... You didn't make a mistake, so I don't dare to argue with you now, because you didn't seem to miss it. Akimoto said helplessly.

"Mr. Akimoto. That's the biggest thing I want of you, and if you succeed in doing this kind of thing, even if I succeed ten times. When it comes to the eleventh time, if you think it is inappropriate, you must try to refute me, I myself know very well that this practice is very dangerous, only if you refute me differently and remind me, can I not be lost in success to the greatest extent! Zhou Xiao said seriously.

"Alas...... You're a kid...... If you are complacent after success, I won't say anything, but you can still maintain this mentality after success, just this is enough to be demonic......" Akimoto said helplessly.

On the stage, the girls' "givemefive" performance is finally coming to an end, in the performance, the most powerful is of course Takahashi Minami, Maeda and Yuko's solo passage, wonderful and skillful, but also difficult solo performance completely ignited the atmosphere of the entire martial arts hall, all the rice stood up, shouting the girls' names loudly, such a wonderful performance, and it was such an unexpected performance, it was a surprise to them.

At the end of the song, the girls stood still, laughing and watching the huge cheers of the audience under the stage, they had been preparing for this day for many years, and now, they could finally show these things.

Moreover, it is still so well displayed.

The lights in the venue dimmed again, and the girls who had never left the stage turned their eyes to the big screen.

There, a video played.

The first thing that appears in the video is a date: "November 25, 2005."

This is...... Before AKB48's official debut.

The first thing that appeared in front of the camera was Zhou Xiao.

Although more than six years have passed, for Zhou Xiao, time has not left any traces on him, En...... There's really nothing to say about this, he's so young, what can time leave behind.

However, there is an obvious time difference between the people Zhou Xiao saw in the video and the people on the stage now.

"Hello Mr. Zhou Xiao!" Several girls in the room stood up to say hello.

These girls, including Atsuko Maeda, Takahashi Minami, Itano Tomomi and Oshima Mai and several other first-term students, at this time they are still in a state of incomparably green, especially Itano Tomomi, the little girl who has not grown up combs the childish double ponytail that seems to be combed by a little girl who is less than ten years old, and Takahashi Minami also looks like Lori, which is not at all the image state of Nange now.

As soon as this video came out, the audience burst into laughter, and the girls on the stage were full of shame, for them, the rustic appearance of a few years ago was too shy.

"Hello, sit down, I want to arrange some work for you this time."

"Work?" The girls looked at each other.

"What is the job?" Minami Takahashi asked.

"That's right, I want you to ...... Everyone learns the same instrument. Zhou Xiaodao.

"We? Musical instrument? Do you want us to be a band? The girls looked at each other curiously.

"That's the idea." Zhou Xiao did not deny it.

If you think about it rationally, it should be very weird and even incomprehensible for Zhou Xiao to say this at that time.

The reason is very simple, girls haven't done a good job of being idols yet, and they haven't even made their debut, so is it really okay to rush them to learn musical instruments?

If it was the members who were about 20 years old, or if the person who raised this matter was someone other than Zhou Xiao, maybe they would have raised objections at the time, but at that time, AKB had just been established, and Zhou Xiao had a super high influence in Japan, so although the girls were surprised, they still nodded and agreed, in their opinion, they were not qualified to deny Zhou Xiao, they felt that Zhou Xiao must have his own reasons for doing this.

Thereupon...... In the video switching again and again, the girls began to contact each other on and off but never paused.

Day by day, gradually, the second phase of Yuko Oshima, Akimoto Caijia and others also joined in......

Then there are the third students, especially the two girls who have enough ability and have a good relationship with Zhou Xiao to join, which makes everyone feel that this private practice can be called a gathering of AKB core members......

Merely............ The band's new single, which was promised by Zhou Xiao...... Where is it? (To be continued......)
