Hosokawa Koharu really felt that something was wrong with Tsukasa Higashino.

She also didn't think that Higashino Tsukasa had called her on purpose to entertain her.

After all, since Tsukasa Higashino has this confidence, the lyrics and songs he writes should belong to the kind of works that can be taken out, not specifically to joke.

Merely...

"Does Higashino-sensei still know how to write songs?" Hosokawa Koharu still couldn't help but ask.

She asked casually, but she always felt a little uncomfortable not asking.

"It's going to be a little bit." Higashino replied with a smile, "It's just not very proficient." ”

“... Is it. "Hosokawa Koharu didn't take Tsukasa Higashino's sentence 'will be a little bit' to heart.

Because every time Higashino Tsukasa says this, it basically means that this time it is stable, and he must have come up with something good.

That being the case...

"Well... I kind of understand, but to be specific, what kind of music did Higashino-sensei write? ”

Hosokawa Koharu put down the pen in his hand and asked Higashino Tsukasa curiously.

"It's a song about "Unnatural Death", which is the theme song of this comic." Tsukasa Higashino replied with a smile.

"The theme song..."Hosokawa Koharu groaned, thinking that it was nothing abrupt.

Because there are actually many secondary creations of "Unnatural Death" on the Internet now, many of them like to join in the fun, and there are some people who compose music and sing for "Unnatural Death" for free.

Such is the terrifying influence of phenomenal comics.

As long as you walk down the street and ask a random passer-by about "Unnatural Death", that passer-by can also say that he knows about this work.

Just like the three giants of "Naruto", "Dragon Ball", and "Pirates" back then, even those who haven't read these three manga know their names more or less.

For this kind of work, even if the theme song is moved out in advance, it is not too abrupt.

If you change to another work... That's basically impossible.

Urashima Publishing House has always given preferential treatment to Tsukasa Higashino.

Thinking of this, Hosokawa Koharu didn't hesitate, she picked up the bag next to her, stood up and asked as she walked out, "I don't know if Higashino-sensei is free now?" I'd like to go over and discuss the specifics with you now. ”

In fact, there is a fax machine in the company, and Higashino Tsukasa also has it at home, so it's no problem to fax him directly, but many problems can't be discussed face-to-face, which is really a bit inappropriate.

She was also worried that she didn't know when Tsukasa Higashino would make the project of animating or dramatizing "Unnatural Death".

It's better to come here in person...

"I'm free anytime." Tsukasa Higashino replied with a smile: "Then I'll wait at home for the editor Hosokawa to come to the door." ”

Higashino didn't use any honorifics, after all, the relationship between him and Hosokawa Koharu didn't have to be said, and there was no need to be so restrained when talking between the two of them.

Hosokawa Koharu also smiled and replied to Higashino Tsukasa a few words, and then drove to Higashino's house.

It didn't take long to drive to Higashino's house, Hosokawa Koharu got out of the car and soon entered Higashino's house.

"Higashino-sensei... Belch... Are you drawing? As soon as Hosokawa Koharu entered the door, he saw Tsukasa Higashino holding a pencil and didn't know what he was drawing, so he asked him in a gentle, unobtrusive tone.

"Well, draw something you want to draw." Tsukasa Higashino saw that Hosokawa Koharu had already come to the door, so he put aside the pencil drawing in his hand.

He drew an identical copy of the cover of Genshi Yonezu in his previous life, trying to see if he could express "Lemon" through the flat medium of paper before the song "Lemon".

But in the end, it failed.

No matter how I drew it, I didn't hear the Lemon effect.

Sure enough, this new painting skill is similar to painting taste and shape, and it is the kind of skill that can only take effect after experiencing it yourself.

"Higashino-sensei, the song you wrote... I wonder if you can let me take a look at it first? After watching Tsukasa Higashino take care of the matter on his side, Hosokawa Koharu put down his bag and sat down and asked.

She is from a professional class, and she still knows a little bit about songs and other things - although she is not at the level of a professional, she is also more qualified than the average person.

"Please take a look."

"Okay, is the name of the song 'Lemon'?" Hosokawa Koharu took the three-piece paper sheet music handed over by Higashino Division, and glanced at the title cursoryly, but he didn't care much about it.

I can't tell anything in the title, so let's look at the lyrics and tunes first.

She continued to look down, whispering to her tune, "What if it was all a dream?" I can still meet you in my dreams... There are also irreparable happiness in this world, those dark past events that are not mentioned to others..."

This tune has an indescribable sense of clarity and clarity, and it seems that you can really feel the freshness of the lemon flavor just by humming it.

But the lyrics give Hosokawa Koharu another feeling.

"Even the sorrow of that day, even the pain of that day, turned everything, together with the beloved you, into the aroma of bitter lemons deeply imprinted in my heart, which could not return until the rain passed and the sky cleared, and to this day, you are still my light..."

The word seems to imply that the creator has lost a loved one, or a friend, which is sour and depressing.

The original song of "Lemon" by Genshi Yonezu in the previous life also expresses this idea, the remembrance of the living to the deceased, mourning...

Hosokawa Koharu was just reading the lyrics softly to the tune, but when he read it, he thought of his own experience and couldn't help but sing in a cappella.

Last year, in the second month of her job at Urashima Press, her grandmother, who loved her the most, passed away due to illness.

At that time, she only heard the sad news of her grandmother's death in the middle of the journey, and she was depressed for a long time.

This song "Lemon" really evoked her memories inexplicably.

The phrase 'To this day, you are still my light' made her choke up.

Similarly, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but be cranky in the process of singing...

Is Higashino-sensei trying to express something through this song?

What sensational tunes, such bitter lyrics...

But under this sad song, there is inexplicably a little warmth and touching.

Merely... Who does the 'light' in the lyrics refer to?

Hosokawa Koharu finished singing a cappella song, and then raised his head to look at Tsukasa Higashino.

She didn't burst into tears like Ryoka Konoe, but she was obviously a little choked up, and at the same time a little hesitant: "Mr. Higashino, this song is very well written... It's just..."

"Just?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Higashino couldn't help but ask.

Hosokawa Koharu hesitated for a while, but still didn't say, 'Mr. Higashino, have you been thinking about your life lately, so you wrote this kind of song?' Say that.

It's so rude after all.

"Nothing... So let's talk about the song. Hosokawa Koharu sorted out his thoughts, and then continued to speak, expressing his thoughts very directly: "It's been a long time since I've heard a theme song that fits the theme of the manga so well. ”

Yes, maybe because it was born by a father, this "Lemon" is too suitable for "Unnatural Death".

Whether it is the remembrance of the deceased, or the warmth in the suppressed pain... It's all too good for "Unnatural Death" - it feels like it's tailor-made.

It's actually normal for Hosokawa Koharu to have this idea.

In his previous life, this song won the Best Theme Song Award at the Tokyo International Theater Festival, the Best Theme Song Award at the 96th Japanese Drama Academy Awards, and even Yonezu Genshi directly appeared on the 'Red and White Song Meeting', which is known as the Japanese Spring Festival Gala, with this song.

It's perfectly fine to say it's tailor-made.

"The genre is also the favorite pop genre of young people nowadays... Personally, I think it can be done. Hosokawa Koharu nodded in affirmative while analyzing.

She is not the kind of person who particularly understands the music market, but she also has a vague feeling in her heart - this song is released, not to mention the fire, but the results and popularity will definitely not be bad.

After all, this song fits the atmosphere of Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death" too well.

"Then can you ask Editor Hosokawa to help contact the singer?" I've seen it, I've sung it, and I've sung it, and of course I'm going to make my own request.

"Contact the singer... Yes yes yes... Do you have any favorite candidates? Hosokawa Koharu asked thoughtfully.

Urashima Publishing House, as a publishing house, can be regarded as having a head and a face.

After all, the theme songs of many animations under the publishing house can be written and composed by professional singers.

As long as Higashino is not the kind of singer who has been hidden or retired, there is no problem in finding it.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, I have a lot of interest in Miss Oura Yukie, can I please contact the editor Hosokawa if I can?"

Higashino didn't think much of it, and just spoke.

"Oura Yukie?" Hosokawa Koharu still has some impressions of this name that can often be seen at the top of the distribution list, but to be honest, she doesn't have such a good impression of this singer.

Say something that Higashino didn't know.

Oura Yukie had taken over the task of composing lyrics and singing for the anime theme song very early, but in the last month, the producer approached Oura Yukie, hoping that she could come up with the theme song according to the scheduled plan...

As a result, at that time, Oura Yukie's agent said that he had only just started construction and that the progress was only halfway completed.

You must know that the animation will be promoted a month in advance, and all kinds of things are ready... was forced to drag back for a while by the other party's words.

I don't know if this singer is a little arrogant or a little unsympathetic... In short, Hosokawa Koharu didn't have a good impression of her.

However, at that time, it was only a medium-sized animation production company and a general publishing house invited by Oura Yukie... This time, it was Tsukasa Higashino, a phenomenal manga author, and Urashima Publishing House who took the initiative to invite... And just asked her to sing a song, she couldn't skip the ticket again, right?

Hosokawa Koharu thought so and nodded: "I understand, I'll ask the editor-in-chief of Urashima when I go back later..."I'll take the song "Lemon" with me first." You've done all the copyright procedures, right? Higashino-sensei? ”

"Well, I took the time to ask the lawyer to help me complete the formalities before."

The song "Lemon" is a reliable killer for Tsukasa Higashino to hit the average sales of two million volumes, and it is really the kind of Gatling who can 'suddenly' spark when he takes it out, and of course he can't be treated sloppily.

Tsukasa Higashino directly found the lawyer he had hired before to help him complete all the necessary procedures.

"Okay." Hosokawa Koharu was still very relieved about Tsukasa Higashino's watertight attitude, so she picked up "Lemon" and left.

This is a good song, she was a little moved when she heard it, and she was deceived into a lot of tears.

Of course, she can't just let herself suffer this grievance, she must let other people cry with her!

With this thought in mind, Hosokawa Koharu got on the bus again and returned to Urashima Press at a high speed.

And Higashino Tsukasa on the other side couldn't help but breathe when he saw Hosokawa Koharu leaving.

The situation is not bad, and it is on the right track.

The quality of "Lemon" made Hosokawa Koharu very satisfied, and he finally didn't have to put on his own to make a low-profile version of Yonezu Genshi's "Lemon".

But to be honest, it's not impossible to let him sing "Lemon" in this low-profile version.

Tsukasa Higashino looked sideways at the system.

Skipping the options associated with violence such as names and physical fitness, Higashino's gaze kept down, and finally stopped.

Other skills: Tang hand, animation script production (10,000 well-known points are required to open up the next skill empty column).

Yes, there is a special skill slot in the system skills.

This skill bar can be developed according to the idea of Tsukasa Higashino, and he can actually open up a 'singer' skill bar.

This thing has actually been forgotten by Higashino Tsukasa for more than half a year.,I only saw it yesterday when I exchanged painting skills.。

However, the main reason is that the skill bar developed by this is not plug-and-play, even if Tsukasa Higashino spends points to open up a 'singer' skill column, he will have to spend time practicing and familiarizing himself with the skill of 'singer'.

This thing is very troublesome, and Tsukasa Higashino will have to learn from a professional teacher for at least a while.

"You're not going to really let me use this, are you?" Tsukasa Higashino looked at it, and couldn't help but have this idea in his heart.

This idea just popped up, and Higashino Tsukasa had already shook his head and vetoed it, and at the same time laughed and scolded himself for whether he was a crow's mouth or not, and he had to curse himself.

Urashima Publishing House is willing to help, and it will not be so difficult to take Oura Yukie at all.

After all, although Urashima Publishing is not one of the top three publishing houses, it is also a giant publishing house in Japan.

There can't be any kind of person in the world who doesn't have the slightest understanding, right?

That emotional intelligence is inevitably too low.

He felt very stable, so he clapped his hands and didn't think about it, and continued to paint "Unnatural Death".

This is the third episode of "Unnatural Death", and the content in it involves the issue of discrimination against women in Japan, and Tsukasa Higashino still has to study it well...

Tsukasa Higashino continued to paint, and within a few days, he received a call from Koharu Hosokawa.

Things are going well, and I have already made an appointment to meet with Oura Yukie tomorrow, hoping that Higashino Tsukasa can prepare a little and go to meet Oura Yukie tomorrow.

It's steady-

Tsukasa Higashino nodded in satisfaction.

It's not really going to let him go into battle now, is it?
