Tsukasa Higashino handed the promotional poster for the sixth volume of "Unnatural Death" to Hosokawa Koharu, which can be regarded as the greatest comfort to Hosokawa Koharu, who has lost his soul.

After all, in Hosokawa Koharu's impression, most of Higashino's manga works are basically very short, except for "The Lonely Gourmet" on the monthly magazine "Aoba", there are basically no medium-length works, so some people question whether Higashino Tsukasa lacks the ability to create medium-length works.

That's why "Unnatural Death" was able to be serialized so smoothly to the sixth volume, and there is still the momentum to continue to be serialized... This, of course, made Hosokawa Koharu a little happy.

"If you really can't come up with a good work, you really don't have to force it, Mr. Higashino." Hosokawa Koharu put away Tsukasa Higashino's promotional poster in a document bag, and did not forget to comfort Tsukasa Higashino: "We, Urashima Publishing House, are responsible for printing textbooks... Such opportunities, while rare, are not uncommon. I really don't need Mr. Higashino, you push yourself too much. ”

She was worried that Higashino Tsukasa was reluctant to create for the sake of her face, so she added with a joke: "My face is not worth a few dollars, Higashino-sensei should relax." ”

This made Higashino Tsukasa amused and a little helpless.

However, considering Hosokawa Koharu, this is mainly thinking about things for himself, and I hope I don't get too tired... Hosokawa Koharu was originally this kind of chattering character, so Higashino didn't say much, just smiled and responded several times in a row.

Next to Higashino Division, Yamagami Chixia was a little impatient, and asked Higashino Tsukasa curiously: "Higashino Sensei, can our three apprentices really participate in the original painting of "The Winner is Justice"? ”

Tsukasa Higashino thought to himself, isn't this nonsense?

Otherwise, why would I spend so much effort cultivating you?

And if I were to do everything myself, wouldn't it be a complete reversal?

"Naturally, you can." Tsukasa Higashino replied simply: "But I didn't just withdraw from the original art group and be a hands-off shopkeeper, I will still check the original paintings submitted by the original art team." ”

The latter sentence made Yamagami Chixia feel a lot of relief.

After all, the level of guidance of the teacher Higashino Tsukasa is still very high, and with his help, there is basically no need to worry about any problems with the original painting.

"Go to work." After Tsukasa Higashino took out an A4 piece of paper, he called out without raising his head.

"Yes. I understand. Yamagami Qianxia bowed her head respectfully and obediently, and did not continue to speak, but began to prepare today's original drawing in earnest.

I have to say that Tsukasa Higashino's "Winner is Justice" is probably the most comfortable original sketch drawn by a novice like her, because many of the original storyboards of Tsukasa Higashino's "Winner is Justice" can be used directly, and it feels very comfortable.

This also made Yamagami Chixia sigh a little at the skill of Higashino Division's storyboard.

If you insist on picking a flaw.

That's what Tsukasa Higashino draws... Too detailed.

In layman's terms, it's too difficult to copy.

It's really hard to copy.

Tsukasa Higashino's characters are all lifelike, such as eyebrow shapes, eye corners, facial contours, nose bridges, hairstyles and bangs... Everything is presented in front of you as if it were three-dimensional.

It's too difficult to copy.

In addition, Higashino Tsukasa is very sophisticated in the lines of his pen, and the thickness is fine, which adds a bit of difficulty to copying.

You know, they draw the original painting, not to say that more than 99% of the original is consistent with the original, but there must be about 890% similar... If the degree of restoration is not high enough, it will offend the fans of the original work... The production company has to come forward and issue an apology.

But copying the original book of Tsukasa Higashino...

Honestly, it's pretty good that you can have an 80 or 90 percent resemblance.

Because no matter how you draw it, it seems to be a little different from what Tsukasa Higashino himself painted...

It's like the difference between Li Kui and Li Ghost, obviously there is a word difference, but it is very different.

Chixia Yamagami stopped painting and stopped.,Trouble.,In front of me is a Yanyi sketch of the male protagonist of "The Winner is Justice" Komimen Kensuke, but she doesn't care how she paints... I can't figure out the 'exaggerated and funny' feeling of Tsukasa Higashino.

So she pinched the original painting and was curious to ask Tsukasa Higashino questions.

But before she could speak, she saw Tsukasa Higashino writing sharply on the A4 printer paper in front of her, and her movements were crisp.

Belch...

Chixia Yamagami didn't dare to disturb Tsukasa Higashino, after all, the boss in front of her was busy with her own business, and a little deputy like her dared to come forward and interrupt...? Isn't that looking for scolding?

It's just that Yamagami Chixia is also a little curious about what Higashino Tsukasa is doing, and the other party's action of walking the dragon and snake doesn't look like he is drawing the original painting.

She glanced at it, and what came into her eyes was a beautiful line of handwriting.

This didn't attract too much attention from Chixia Yamagami, she knew that in addition to his superb painting skills, Higashino Tsukasa also wrote a good hand, which was enviable.

But... Doesn't that seem to be a word?

Looking at the numbers and music symbols marked on the A4 copy paper, Chinatsu Yamagami touched his head.

She reacted.

This is probably a song written by Tsukasa Higashino for Koharu Hosokawa... Didn't you say it before? Come and get it tomorrow.

But... Just write it directly? Don't even use a draft?

This speed reminded her of the essay she scribbled when she was a child, 'What do you want to do when you grow up?' when she was a child, and she wrote it blindly at the time, which is similar to the action of Tsukasa Higashino now.

"Don't admit defeat" (there are also other translations of "Never admit defeat", "Don't admit defeat")?"

The title of the song does seem quite positive... But that's too straightforward, right? It's even a little plain.

Names like Tsukasa Higashino's "Lemon" and "Nothing in Our Hands" are good, they sound literary, and they still need to be speculated, which is very literary.

However, Chixia Yamagami didn't understand songs, so she read the brief score written by Tsukasa Higashino for a long time, and then gave up.

She simply couldn't read it.

But she can still read the lyrics.

"I will always remember the occasional moment when I met your eyes and made people's hearts beat happily. I fell in love with this pastel season, just like I fell in love with you shining on that day. Don't throw in the towel, it's just a little bit left, and be sure to keep running until the end, no matter how far away. My heart will be with you..."

Chixia Yamagami read the lyrics, and the more she read them, the more she felt that the lyrics were catchy, and the content was also very inspiring.

Merely... She couldn't sing it, and she didn't know the tune, so she couldn't be moved.

I have to say that this is the time to reflect the meaning of learning, if you don't study, you can't even read a brief score, and you can't even sing your favorite songs.

She stood by and watched for a while, detaching her thoughts from the song and focusing more on Tsukasa Higashino's terrifying speed of writing lyrics.

This speed...

It's all written blindly, why was the composition she wrote scolded by the teacher, but the lyrics written by Tsukasa Higashino made her feel catchy and easy to read?

It is true that people cannot be generalized.

Just as she was thinking this, Higashino Tsukasa, who had written violently, suddenly turned around: "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

When he raised his hand to write a brief score just now, he heard Chixia on the mountain behind him reciting the lyrics as if he was chanting a scripture, which more or less attracted the attention of Tsukasa Higashino, and he couldn't help but look back.

"I just have some questions about the original painting, and I want to ask Higashino-sensei... Sorry, it's rude. Yamagami Chinatsu bowed and apologized for his peeking just now.

Higashino obviously didn't care about such a trivial matter, he just waved his hand and handed the sheet music to the other party: "What do you think of this song?" ”

"Huh...? Ahem, I'm sorry, Mr. Higashino, I don't know how to read the sheet music..."

"......" Tsukasa Higashino.

You don't know how to read the sheet music, why do you still chant behind me? Idle?

He was a little speechless, he thought that Chinatsu Yamagami was the kind of young man who loved music, and he could let her help refer to it.

Seeing that Higashino Tsukasa's face was wrong, and it seemed that he wanted to criticize her, Yamagami Chixia immediately said again: "But the lyrics are very good, and I read them very smoothly." ”

"Isn't it smooth?" Tsukasa Higashino smiled.

This evaluation is honestly a bit nonsense.

The lyrics of that song don't go well?

If it doesn't go well, can you still sing it?

However, since Yamagami Qianxia didn't even know how to read the simple score, Higashino Tsukasa naturally didn't plan to embarrass her.

After all, Tsukasa Higashino is not one who cares too much about this kind of thing.

He took the original painting handed over by Qianxia on the mountain, and then criticized her so hard that her head was about to shrink into her neck, and then she smiled and stopped.

This made Yamagami Chixia swear again that in the future, Higashino Tsukasa would never bother him when he was doing other work.

Higashino's smiling and scolding is inevitably too terrifying, and it feels like a smiling murderer.

Tsukasa Higashino, who didn't know that he had been labeled as a 'smiling murderer', only then did he turn back to the song in front of him after criticizing Chixia Yamagami.

When it comes to this song "Don't Admit Defeat", we have to mention the bubble economy in Japan back then, Japan at that time was indeed beautiful, it seemed to be extremely prosperous, and every Japanese felt that they were rich, and they felt that tomorrow would be richer than today.

For example, if a college student from an ordinary school graduates is admitted to more than five clubs, the club will lock them up in a luxurious hot spring hotel once they are decided. As soon as the graduates of the top schools graduate, the club will take the initiative to provide you with an export car and arrange a high-end apartment residence...

At that time, Japan was too prosperous, and if the company's entertainment funds were not spent and saved, you would even be scolded as a 'unproductive' guy, and you couldn't even do a good job of socializing.

Then Japan's bubble economy shattered, the national economy was in the Great Depression, about 3,000 Japanese companies laid off employees, and there were instantly more highly educated college students in the market.

This song "Don't Admit Defeat" was born in response to the situation in that era, and it is not an exaggeration at all... This song originally encouraged an era in Japan, and it has been popular for more than 20 years, not only on TV variety shows, but even the old stubborn in the Japanese education industry have greatly praised this song, even if Japan does an audience survey in 2010, this song is still the most popular song of the year, with an approval rate of more than 80%.

Its singer Sakai Izumisui is revered as a rock queen of Japan's national treasure, and she is in the limelight for a while.

It's just that while taking out this song, Tsukasa Higashino also hesitated in his heart.

Because just looking at the background, the era of "Don't Admit Defeat" took off during the Japanese economic depression, will it be too late to come up with it now? After all, he lost the right time and place, and even Tsukasa Higashino was not the sweet 'sister' of Sakai Izumi (originally called it 'the peak of the yellow race' by the Japanese media', and even the last person couldn't keep it.

Is it really appropriate to come up with this song?

But soon, Higashino shook his head thoughtfully, feeling that he was completely overwhelmed.

A good song can become a trend of the times because it conforms to the times, but you can't say that the song is completely praised because of that era.

The song "Don't Throw in the Defeat" must have merit, or it wouldn't have stood out from the huge amount of positive pop music of the year.

In addition, Japan is still deeply immersed in the sadness of the "lost decade". (meaning ten years of economic stagnation, or even regressive development of Japan), the time and place have not been lost, and there are still people who are confused and hesitant.

The number of homeless people scavenging in the streets of Tokyo is still not decreasing.

Even in this era, this song is still the best support song.

Without him, because of Sakai Spring Water, and because this song was evaluated by the Japanese media as "the theme song that best represents Japan's lost ten-year support".

Thinking of this, Higashino felt that there was nothing to hesitate about.

People still need to be more sharp, and when it is time to make decisions, they must make decisive decisions.

As for the possible aftermath of writing the song overnight... Tsukasa Higashino actually didn't bother to care about this.

Anyway, many things about himself are spread out of the world, and some people think that he actually has two more hands than humans, and those two hands are usually invisible and will not be seen.

Some people also think that Tsukasa Higashino's tongue can be used to hold a dipping pen for drawing, so the efficiency is as high as that of a printer.

Some people even say that he was actually captured by aliens and transformed, and his brain is extremely developed, and he can even use superpowers.

Of course, one of the things that left Higashino Tsukasa speechless the most was that some people said that he was a time traveler and came here from the past, so he was able to come up with so many good works.

Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors, and sometimes Higashino Tsukasa can't help but laugh.

But fortunately, no matter how outrageous these rumors are, no one has posted that he is a Celestial Empire traveler.

This made Tsukasa Higashino a little inexplicably relieved.

Tsukasa Higashino put the two-page sheet music of "Don't Admit Defeat" into a bag and clamped it with a clip.

At the same time, I called the lawyer, hoping that he could handle the copyright procedures first...
