Flying over the bubble era

183 Chapter 183. Life

The Nakata sound engineer went over to fiddle with the equipment, and the two stood behind the console, watching him deftly manipulate the console.

Yanqiao Shen watched carefully. Since becoming a producer, he has to learn everything from the basics. He never misses any opportunity to learn from professionals. Even if it is something he understands, he will subconsciously watch it. Obsessed.

Nakamori Akina seemed a little absent-minded, looked at the console, and then quietly glanced at Iwahashi Shinichi, who was paying attention to the device and oblivious to her gaze, feeling a burst of disbelief in his heart.

We met by chance, why did you think of inviting him to audition Kato Tokiko-san's demo?And how did it go from listening to demos to listening to her own recordings?
Neither question has an answer.

It's a bit inappropriate to say that this approach is rash.However, if you have thought it through carefully, then you may lose the courage to ask the phrase "Are you coming?"

Thoughts that seem to come on a whim are the most real.

Will he be invited to listen to the demo, is the first unanswered question.It was also because of this first question that the second question that had no answer was triggered.To answer the second question, a third question arises.

Why did he propose to listen to his recordings?

Behind one question after another is Akina Nakamori's curiosity about Shinichi Iwahashi.

For a long time, because of Okada Yukiko's affairs, she had developed trust in Iwahashi Shinichi.I met him for the first time without knowing it, and experienced the considerate approach from him.

When the two are added together, Nakamori Akina has a special kindness towards him, and because of what happened a few times ago, she has a subtle expectation for meeting him unexpectedly.

However, she still lacks understanding of Iwahashi Shinichi.

Although I felt gentle kindness from him, only gentleness was not a three-dimensional image in my heart.

Will go to hope to see a three-dimensional image, this is Nakamori Akina's simple curiosity about Iwahashi Shinichi.

When she was thinking about it, the words of the sound engineer Nakata interrupted her thoughts.

"Okay." Nakata said to Iwahashi Shinichi.

"This is a preliminary mixed-recorded version. At present, Nakamori-san is most satisfied with this version." Nakata specially emphasized the word "currently". From this, Yanqiao Shinichi heard Nakamori Akina's music The attitude of keeping improving, and at the same time, Nakata's sound engineer appreciates her attitude.

Iwahashi Shinichi said "Excuse me" and picked up the monitor earphones.

The song "Difficult to Break the Ship" is full of melancholy and sad atmosphere as a whole. When listening to Kato Tokiko's demo, Iwahashi Shinichi already had a full understanding.

But even so, when he first heard Nakamori Akina's reinterpreted version, he was still shocked and captured by the sadness she created in her singing.

The so-called "extreme sadness" is fully reflected in her singing.

To be able to sing such a feeling, there must be Akina Nakamori's feelings for her love.

If Tokiko Kato wrote this song "The Hard Ship" because of the emotional differences between her husband and her husband, then Akina Nakamori can also be said to have expressed her feelings for this terrible relationship. It was only through this that he deduced such sadness and hesitation, as well as the hesitation as if floating alone on the sea, unable to see the land, and no one to lend a helping hand.

However, such an exposed sadness is completely different from the chic and handsome Nakamori Akina has always shown on stage, and it is also different from her style of not liking to bring up her personal affairs.

Her love affair with Kondo Masahiko is well-known throughout the country, but although she is often teased by the host on the show, she hardly talks about it herself. Is it now necessary to make an exception for the pain of the relationship?
While listening to Nakamori Akina's song, Yanqiao Shinichi suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"I am in pain, I cry, I beg, I cry bitterly, all of this is real. I am in unbearable pain, and the tears I shed are hot and bitter." Said the experiential actor.

Among the various genres of performance, there are expressionists who emphasize rationality, and there are also experientialists who follow the drive of emotion and integrate themselves and characters into one to perform, so I have the above feelings.

"It's all real".

Not only actors need acting skills, singers also need to perform songs, and the voice also has "acting skills".

Singer-songwriters are another matter. For non-songwriters, if they want to sing sincerely and touch people's hearts, they also need to brew.The reason why singing machines are called singing machines is because the singing voice is cold. They jump out of the song and sing a song like a bystander.

Enka star, enka singer Chiyoko Shimakura who is tied with Misora ​​Hibari, has a song called "Life いろいろ" (Life's Varieties).

"I have worried about dying. Whether it is a rose or an autumn cherry, it will wither."

"It's weird, when you're young. It's funny, when you're young. It's so dizzying, life is so different."

The lyrics sound a bit self-deprecating, but they are actually a kind of emotion about life.If you entrust it to other enka singers, you may not be able to grasp the "degree" in it, but it is perfect for Chiyoko Shimakura to sing.

Because the phrase "everything in life" happens to be a portrayal of her own life.

This famous enka star had a miserable life, her sister committed suicide, her younger brother broke up with her, was abused by her husband's family, despaired of marriage, and once attempted suicide.Later, he was deceived by a man and carried a huge debt of 7000 million yen.

But even so, I choose to continue to live, sing, pay back the money, and start again after paying off the money.

Chiyoko Shimakura like this, sang this song with a little smile, saying "everything in life", such funny, helpless, and emotional about life, that no one can imitate.

Because the song is herself.

There is another popular enka singer, Sayuri Ishikawa, whose trilogy "Winter View of the Tsugaru Strait", "Noto Peninsula" and "Warm Current" are masterpieces in the enka world.

She was only 19 years old when she sang "Winter Scenery of the Tsugaru Strait", and she couldn't understand the sadness of parting in the lyrics, so Ajiuyou, who wrote the lyrics, guided her to imagine——

Instead of directly imagining that kind of sadness, let her think about it, if you want to leave, what kind of suitcase you are holding in your hand, and what kind of clothes you are wearing, invisibly drag her into the lyrics and become the protagonist.

So Saiduri Ishikawa, who once debuted as an idol of the "Princess of Columbia", successfully transformed in one fell swoop, and went smoothly as an enka singer.The reason why she can be successful is not only because she sings well, but also because she can sing in people's hearts.

And with the growth of age and the increase of her own experience, Sayuri Ishikawa performed these songs of her own, and became more and more comfortable with her emotions.

One of the charms of enka is that with the enrichment of life experience, whether it is the singer's own interpretation or the audience's own feelings, the longer the time, the more delicious it sounds.
