Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 445
The reason why Karuizawa became a resort is due to the contribution of the first Canadian missionary who built a villa here during the Meiji period.He took the lead, and a large number of foreigners also flocked here to build holiday villas here.

Because of this historical reason, Karuizawa is full of Western style.Building a house here and designing it in a Western style makes it look more authentic.

Before coming from Tokyo, I had already greeted here in advance.Therefore, no one in the villa was surprised by Yanqiao Shinichi's visit, and there was no need to worry about the effect of the head teacher raiding the evening self-study.

The four of them are sitting around a table discussing lyrics.Tatsuya Hirakawa accompanied him with an acoustic guitar, and Sachiko Kamachi auditioned the lyrics he had written.

For the first album, it is necessary to determine the style of the band in the general direction. Afterwards, unless it is hard to be popular, you have to try to transform, or think about transformation after it becomes popular, otherwise there should be no major changes, only subtle changes Just adjust it.

The so-called style is not only the style of music, but also the style of words.

The tune and the lyrics are two equally important legs, whichever one is shorter will cause a limp when walking.When writing lyrics, on the one hand, it is necessary to consider whether the lyrics fit the melody, and on the other hand, whether it fits with the overall style and image of the band.

One of the important tasks of the debut album is that as the band's first work, it not only sends out a "we are coming!" signal to the outside world, but also formally demonstrates the band's style to the outside world.

Now that Sachiko Kawachi has written the lyrics, the band members gather together for an audition. In this way, they can determine the effect of a certain line in the song and decide whether it needs to be modified. This is also a way to determine the style.

……

After saying hello, Masahiro Koyanagi moved over to Tomohisa Kawasoe to make room for Shinichi Iwahashi.Sachiko Puchi was very discerning, and handed the score and lyrics on the table to Shinichi Iwahashi.

Yanqiao Shinichi sat down, took the score and lyrics and read it.After all, he is a producer. Although he didn't hang out with the members all day, once he arrived, it was a natural thing to seamlessly enter the band's discussion meeting.

Looking at the lyrics written by Sachiko Puchi, I have to praise her talent and aura in writing lyrics in my heart.She is not only a master of words and sentences, but also a lyricist who knows how to properly expose herself in lyrics.

Self-exposure is not a bad word. For the lead singer who takes over the band's lyrics, being able to grasp the degree of self-exposure is also a job that depends on talent.

What Mori taught Sachiko Kawachi was the method of writing lyrics, and it was what Sachiko Kawachi had to do to build her own worldview in the lyrics.

Unlike Mori Haomi or Akimoto Yasushi, who are full-time lyricists who want to provide different styles of lyrics to people from all walks of life, these lyricists can extract their personality from the world of lyrics and write with the mentality of a bystander. lyrics.

However, as the lead singer of the band who wants to cover all the lyrics of the band and also establish the style of the band through the lyrics, when writing lyrics, he should not and avoid letting himself have the mentality of a bystander.

Not only that, moderate self-exposure and projecting a part of oneself are essential for building a complete world in words.

In this sense, the best personality is myself, which is also fully reflected in the lyrics.

……

At noon, the staff is responsible for preparing meals, and a large group of people have lunch together.

After lunch, there is an hour and a half lunch break.Leaving the table where they gathered to discuss music, the four members of the band looked like office workers who got off work at some point. After eating, they said hello and went upstairs to their rooms.

"Puchi-san." Yanqiao Shinichi called to stop Puchi Xingzi.

"Let's talk a little bit," he said.

The two returned to the table where they had gathered to discuss music and sat facing each other.Shinichi Iwahashi was sitting facing the window, his eyes bypassed Sachiko Kamagike and looked out the window, the weather was fine.

Then, he turned his gaze back and landed on the face of Sachiko Puchi.

"How does it feel to sleep together here?" Shen Yanqiao raised a topic together.

Sachiko Puchi replied: "Very good." After thinking about it, she seemed to feel that such an answer was not convincing enough, and she talked about how she came to Karuizawa, how she allocated her room, how she started working, and these things that really happened.

After finishing speaking, I smiled and said to him: "I'm trying to keep a record and write down everything I see and think every day."

"Very good." Yanqiao Shen nodded.He does not interfere with the way the lyricist writes the lyrics and the source of inspiration, and only puts forward his own opinions on the general aspects.

"However, when it comes to things like lyrics, the most important thing is the combination of fiction and reality."

He reminded, "Being a lyricist is part of one's own thinking, and then there is an indispensable part of fiction. Pure fiction and too much pursuit of one's own truth are not advisable."

At the beginning of the class, Sachiko Kawachi was like a top student, straightened her back, and listened carefully.The last lyricist he taught in this way was Chisato Moritaka.

"But," Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned again, "in addition to fiction and reality, a little magic is needed."

The rhetoric of magic has really been in Japan for a long time, and even the words have a Chinese taste.

"The lyrics that combine the virtual and the real and master the benefits can already be said to be excellent works. However, pop music does not exist alone. After a song is born, it must be sung by the singer. The interpretation of the singer himself is the so-called magic. where it exists."

Including the style of the band mentioned, as well as the vocals of the singer himself, and the artistic conception of the song, these things must be taken into consideration when writing lyrics.

Because it is invisible and intangible, but it cannot be ignored, so it is similar to "magic".

"Fiction, reality, and magic." Sachiko Puchi repeated these three words thoughtfully.

Yanqiao Shen nodded, "That's right." He said with a smile, "Besides, how to adjust the proportions of these three things, and how much each should take up in a song, are not fixed, and need a lyricist. I went to find it myself."

"It's amazing." Puchi Xingzi felt a little bit emotional.

"It's really good. Lyric writing is a very powerful craft." Yanqiao Shinichi said, "It's not easy to be a good craftsman."

"Puchi-sang, you are very talented in this area." He was never stingy in praising others.

Hearing what he said, Sachiko Kuchi smiled, "Thank you.... I will take care of myself as a craftsman."

The interesting part of Sachiko Puchi's personality is that although she is shy, she is firm at the same time. On the one hand, she is easily shy, and on the other hand, she decides what to do, just like standing in front of a long-distance running track, and moves forward with all her strength. run.

So, when we first met, I had the impression that she was shy.After starting to work together, she was straightforward and forthright in her work.

However, in the face of Kawachi Sachiko's response, Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her face with a thoughtful expression.After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked, "Is Puchi Sang a little concerned about her teeth?"

Sachiko Puchi didn't expect Shinichi Iwahashi to suddenly turn the topic to her, and he was talking about the actual "body".Instinctively wanted to refute, but after reacting for a while, he still admitted: "I am not very confident about my teeth because they are not neat enough."

"is it?"

Iwahashi Shinichi's idea was confirmed.

This kind of thinking is not unique today. From the first time I met Sachiko Puchi to signing her, the more times I met in between, the deeper the impression.

Among the Japanese, the problem of crooked teeth is quite common. Some people think that their teeth are unique, and some people feel inferior because of crooked teeth.

From the perfectionism revealed by Sachiko Kawachi at work, it seems reasonable to care about the imperfections of the body.

I feel inferior to my weak teeth, and always purse my lips subconsciously when I smile. This state will hinder my expression.In the future, she will shoot album covers and inside pages, shoot MVs, participate in music shows, stand in front of the camera, and hold concerts in front of the audience.

Shyness is not a problem, musicians can be reserved.Low self-esteem is the real problem.

Even if Pu Chi Xingzi is a bitch, if she doesn't care about it, then the little buck teeth can become the characteristic of the lead singer of the band.However, it would be unnatural if I always smile without showing my teeth because I am worried about my teeth.

"That's not okay," he said.

Kuchi Sachiko pursed her lower lip and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi.

It is not Iwahashi Shinichi's style to point out problems for no reason without giving solutions.Since I pointed out this matter, I hope she can make changes, and he will support her changes.

"Otherwise, how about you consider orthodontics?"

"Although it's a bit impolite proposal," Shinichi Iwahashi apologized to her, "You shouldn't judge other people's appearance. But if you feel troubled, maybe you should think about it, so you don't always care so much."

The problem of irregular teeth is quite common in Japan. When signing a newcomer in the entertainment industry, it is also quite common to take the newcomer to have a canine tooth pulled or a whole mouth done in consideration of photogenic issues.

As long as you think about it, you can immediately contact a first-class dental clinic to correct a beautiful set of teeth.

Speaking of this, he looked at Puchi Xingzi, and while paying attention to her expression, he added: "However, I really think that Puchi-san is already an outstanding beauty, except for this point, everything else is very good, there is no need to look at her again." correct."

The point is that there is no need to correct it.This face and the whole set of teeth are the icing on the cake, and it would be a waste of money to use a knife.

Yanqiao Shinichi praised her voice and her talent in writing lyrics, but it was the first time that she praised her as a beauty.Hearing this, Sachiko Kawachi showed an embarrassed expression after a long absence, and looked away from Shinichi Iwahashi's face.

However, in his heart, he was thinking about the suggestion of orthodontics put forward by Shinichi Iwahashi.

"By the way, the cost of orthodontics is of course paid by the company." Yanqiao Shinichi added.

Dental clinics charge high fees and do not participate in medical insurance reimbursement. The average young person really cannot spend a large sum of money to straighten their teeth.

Shinichi Iwahashi poked his doubts secretly. The Japanese claimed that "irregular teeth are cute". One of the important reasons is that orthodontics are too expensive.

Since you can't afford it, let's say it's kawaii.

Since it cannot be changed, choose to accept it and say it is kawaii.

Of course, confident people are the most kawaii.

Kanachi Sachiko, who was already a little moved, seemed to have enough strength to make up her mind after hearing this sentence.

……

After the lunch break, the members of the band moved to the working place and went to the temporarily prepared recording studio next door for a sound test.During the audition stage, Shinichi Iwahashi mainly watched from the sidelines, observing the performance of the members and listening to their performances.

While watching, I thought to myself that Sachiko Kawachi has been singing in the recording studio until now, and has never been in contact with the scene, so she has zero experience in this area.

Since you don't plan to be a full-fledged studio band, is it also on the agenda to participate in live performances?

Ask Mineshima to help...

After thinking carefully, Yanqiao contacted the LIVEHOUSE where the performance was performed and asked the band to participate in the live performance.

What will be the effect of Sachiko Kamaike's live performance?He remembered the shyness of Puchi Sachiko when he met someone for the first time, and felt that this first step might not be so easy to move forward.

On this day, Shinichi Iwahashi stayed in Karuizawa until night.

After dinner, the band members, as well as the staff, gathered together, filled the table with wine and side dishes, chatted while drinking, not only exchanged music, but also talked about entertainment, personal topics Just say it.

During the recording period, Sachiko Puchi didn't drink, but she also sat among them.

She doesn't like to talk about her own affairs, and she talks a lot when discussing her views on music or the music she likes. When it comes to gossip in the entertainment industry, although she doesn't interrupt, she listens very carefully. It seems that gossip is very important to her. Very attractive.

At the reception after dinner, Shin Iwashi had a drink, sat down for a while, and then set off for Tokyo.The next day, he called Mayumi Watanabe and told her that he had read the book.

"How?" Watanabe Mayumi made a pun.

Yanqiao Shinichi replied, "Your classmate's recommendation is extremely accurate."

"After all, he is an employee of the publishing house." Watanabe Mayumi said a wisecrack.

"That's right." Yanqiao Shenyi echoed, and answered another layer of meaning contained in her question just now, "The book is interesting to read, but such a novel is not easy to make into a movie."

"Yes, it's difficult." Wanyumi Watanabe said, "If you want to shoot, you have to work hard on the adaptation."

"Besides, there is a high probability that the box office will be miserable." Yanqiao Shinichi said bluntly, "Investing a lot of money just for such a result is not worth it."

Wanyumi Watanabe didn't answer the question of whether it was worth it or not, and it was inconvenient to go deeper on the phone, so the two made an appointment to meet again, and planned to explain clearly in person.

On the next Wednesday, there was a conflict between the two schedules, so Thursday morning was set.

This morning, Shinichi Iwahashi came out of his house, and on his way to the parking lot, he passed a newsstand and saw the notice of "FRIDAY" hanging outside.

He glanced at it casually, but was attracted by a notice with a rather eye-catching font on it.
