Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 465
"Anyway," Iwahashi Shinichi met Miwa-chan's expectant gaze, "make the song first and see how it works."

In other words, although it wasn't a rejection, it didn't agree to her proposal outright.

In matters related to music, whether it is Iwahashi Shinichi or Nakamura Masato, it is difficult to refuse Miwa-chan.

It's not because the mouse-carrying team pet is dominating the group, making him and Nakamura-san unable to stand up, but because Meihe-chan's genius and her non-professional, when these two things are put together When they were together, they had to take her every idea seriously.

So as not to take her genius for whimsy and ignore her real talent.

Of course, you can't obey Mihe-chan in everything.Because she is indeed whimsical at times, so at the risk of scolding each other "Ba Ga Ya Lu", what should be said should be said clearly.

So, to make a compromise, when Miwa-chan made a proposal, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura Masato tried their best to make what she proposed first, and then guessed what effect it would have, and then made the final decision based on the effect.

……

As soon as Yanqiao Shen spoke, Nakamura brother fully cooperated.

The two immediately set about arranging the song "Future Vision II".The finished product will definitely not be ready for a while, and Yanqiao Shinichi has been very busy these days, unable to stay in the recording studio and discuss with the musicians how to add bricks and tiles.

So, take a step back and study the chord direction with Brother Nakamura first, study how to arrange the arrangement, and record it on paper while imagining what effect it will have.

After that, according to the plan written on paper, Brother Nakamura communicated with the musicians in the recording studio to produce the arrangement.

Arrangements made in this way will obviously increase as Shinichi Iwahashi's behind-the-scenes work increases.In terms of authorship, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura brother had agreed long ago that this kind of arrangement should write two people's names at the same time.

The direction of the arrangement of this song has been determined, and the specific implementation is left to Nakamura.

During this period, Shinichi Iwahashi, as the producer and representative of the band, called Wanyumi Watanabe, the owner of the firm who held a brokerage contract, to hold a meeting with CBS Sony to discuss the album plan with the record company.

There is no separate project, the band is preparing to select songs, and the company fully supports it. Everyone seems to be doing their own thing, but in the end, it is like combining separately produced parts to form a complete project.

……

U-MIZ office.

Watanabe Wanyumi heard that they planned to sing "Future Vision II", thought for a while, and said to Iwahashi Shinichi: "I remember, you mentioned this song to me."

"is it?"

Mayumi Watanabe nodded, "I was deeply impressed by that 'brake light flashing five times'." Speaking of this, she smiled mischievously, "I still remember you saying that it was because of such oblique actions that we couldn't get into a relationship."

"Haha!" Yanqiao Shin laughed, teasing himself, "Like something I would say."

All jokes aside, Watanabe Wanyumi still said, "As a woman, I still think that kind of confession is subtle and romantic, which is very touching. To be honest, if this is a secret signal between two people, then even if it is just sitting together In the car, thinking about it makes me feel good."

"Belongs to the secret signal between two people", Yanqiao Shinichi thinks this statement is excellent.

At this time, Mayumi Watanabe said again, "Speaking of which, the lyrics are good, but I haven't heard the tune of this song yet."

"Do you want me to sing it to you?" Yanqiao Shinichi was not joking.

With his absolute sense of pitch, he can absolutely show Watanabe Wanyumi this song completely and unmistakably.

In the end, after hearing what he said, Wanyumi Watanabe quickly refused, "Let's forget it." As someone who once sang with him in the karaoke box, Wanyumi Watanabe knew exactly what was going on with his singing voice. .

"..." This refusal was too straightforward.

Fortunately, although Shinichi Iwahashi has full confidence in his absolute pitch, he has no confidence in his singing voice. Watanabe Wanyumi refused to fly fast, so he gave up the idea of ​​​​performing in person.

Instead, he said, "Next time, bring a copy of Mihe-chan's audition tape."

Watanabe Wanyumi thought about it, and suggested: "If you don't cause trouble, how about letting me go to the recording studio to have a look at the finished composition when it is recorded?"

"Now you think the atmosphere in the recording studio is good?"

She smiled slightly, "As a layman, at least I can contribute some opinions from ordinary listeners."

"Okay, general audience." Yanqiao Shenyi agreed with a smile.

……

Brother Nakamura is extremely efficient, of course, it is also related to time constraints.Therefore, after the last discussion, he put aside other matters at hand for the time being, and concentrated on completing the arrangement of the song "Future Vision II".

Within three days, the first arrangement was released. Meihejiang tried singing once, then sent the track to the mixing room, and made the first version numbered 001.

Iwahashi Shinichi held a meeting with the CBS Sony people. Since the album has not yet been finalized on what songs will be included, he must first decide on the release time and promotion channels, contact the printing factory in advance, and prepare for the shooting of the album's inner pages.

The debut album went to London for recording and filming. This time, because of the time, most of the inner pages will be filmed in China—or even in Tokyo.

After the meeting, Shinichi Iwahashi still remembered the agreement, called the ordinary audience Wan Yumi, and the two went to the recording studio in Shinanomachi together.

Brother Nakamura and Miwa-chan were both there. When Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe arrived, Brother Nakamura was checking the score at the table, the sound engineer was guarding the console, and Miwa-chan was recording in the recording room.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi went in, and after greeting Nakamura Masato, they sat at the table together.

Wanyumi Watanabe doesn't know much about music, and one of her goals is not to judge the singers' music.So, she looked at the score on the table calmly, and then turned her attention to Miwa Yoshida.

Earlier, when I went to ZARD's recording studio, the curtain connecting the recording room was drawn.However, in the recording studio of DREAMS COME TRUE, the curtains are open, and Yoshida Miwa who is opposite can see clearly.

Of course, Yoshida Miwa can also see the other side clearly.

For Sachiko Kamanike, if the curtains are open and the staff members come in and out, it may be difficult to get into the state.However, Yoshida Miwa was not affected by outsiders at all. As soon as she entered the recording room, she focused all her attention on the recording.

Miwachan's recording came out, and she greeted Wanyumi Watanabe as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring the fact that Wanyumi Watanabe watched her recording just now.

Moreover, it seemed that she welcomed Wanyumi Watanabe's arrival.

Wanyumi Watanabe is quite popular as the boss. Artists signed to U-MIZ have a good impression of her, and the atmosphere in the whole office is quite harmonious.Although there are three people in the band, they don't go back to the office much.

As soon as Miwa-chan came out, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't hesitate, and directly brought up the matter, "Watanabe-san and I came over to listen to the semi-finished product of "Future Vision II"."

When the arrangement has not been finalized, they are used to calling it a "semi-finished product".

"I'll go get ready." Masato Nakamura got up.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi followed, and Mihe-chan sat in the seat vacated by Nakamura-san, and looked at the pile of music scores while drinking the tea brought by the staff.

It seemed that the song the three of them went to audition had nothing to do with her.

……

Wanyumi Watanabe heard this song for the first time, just like her status as an "ordinary audience", what she paid attention to was the lyrics and whether the melody was pleasant.

There is no need to say more about Yoshida Miwa's singing skills, the word "free and easy" is enough.

After the piano prelude, Yoshida Miwa sang the first line of the lyrics.

"It's the third spring since graduation."

The simple lyrics are like narrating.When I first heard the first sentence, I thought it was nothing special.However, as the song gradually unfolds, the story in the lyrics unfolds before the eyes, and the simple writing of the lyrics is wonderful.

It is this plain and simple writing that gives the song a sense of life.

In the process of writing, I didn't use any writing skills, but it is this kind of straightforward presentation that gives me the feeling that the "future vision" is unfolding in front of my eyes.

As ordinary people, ordinary couples.

There are little secrets that belong to ordinary people, and little secrets that belong to ordinary couples.

"After I got out of the car, you watched me round the corner and always flashed the brake lights five times."

"That's the 'I love you' signal."

Wanyumi Watanabe finally heard the lyrics about "step on the brake light five times" that Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned before.And in Yoshida Miwa's simple singing, her feeling for this lyrics is also clearer.

The reason why it can be a signal that I love you is because I have the idea of ​​I love you in my heart.

It is because there is love in the heart, touching the helmet five times and stepping on the brake light five times can become a signal to express love.

Not only are the lyrics moving, but the simple melody at first glance, as the lyrics progress layer by layer, it seems that emotions are gradually accumulating in one place, and finally reach the breaking point.

Listening to this song, it seems that my mood follows the song.

When it came to that breaking point, Wanyumi Watanabe was moved.

A vision of the future.

You see, it slowly came true as imagined——

She took off her headphones, intending to send her praise for the song as a "general audience".

However, looking at Shinichi Iwahashi, his expression looked a little serious.After the song was played, he didn't take off the earphones, and played the song again.

Mayumi Watanabe sized him up, then at Masato Nakamura.

"Shinichi-kun seems to feel that something is wrong." Nakamura Masato observed Iwahashi Shinichi, and then said to Watanabe Wanyumi.

On the other side, Meihejiang noticed their movements, left the pile of music scores, and came over.

……

After listening to this semi-finished song again, Iwahashi Shinichi took off his earphones.

"Is there any problem? Shinichi-kun." Masato Nakamura asked.

Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it, "The effect of the arrangement is similar to what we imagined, and this feeling is very good." Brother Nakamura's talent as an arranger is beyond doubt.

"However." He pointed out a little bit, "I always feel that there is still something missing."

"What's the shortcoming?"

Hearing this, Masato Nakamura subconsciously picked up the earphones and prepared to listen to it again.But before that, he looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, waiting for his next words.

"As I said before, this song sounds gentle at first, but it slowly advances, and then reaches the peak."

Iwahashi Shinichi ignored Nakamura's gaze and went to look at Miwa-chan, as if saying to her, "However, the finished product now feels that the apex is not enough, and it is not the real apex."

"So, listening to it this way, there is a feeling of giving up halfway, and I'm almost out of breath." Yanqiao Shinichi explained.

Masato Nakamura put on his earphones after listening to him.

"How does Manyumi-san feel after listening to it?" Yanqiao Shinichi went to ask her.

Watanabe Wanyumi said: "It's a very plain, but very touching song." After finishing speaking, she also hesitated a little.This hesitation stems from what Shinichi Iwahashi just mentioned "is not the real apex".

The song stopped at "Look, slowly realized as imagined", is it still a breath away?
On the other side, Brother Nakamura also frowned after listening to the tune.It’s okay if you don’t talk about it, but once you raise a problem here, and then think about it, it seems that something is really missing.

"Miwa-chan." Iwahashi Shinichi discussed with her, "Can you reconsider and add something to the end of the song?"

"Add something?"

Meihejiang's face wrinkled into a ball as if she had eaten a sour plum.

"It's probably a kind of explosive and accumulated emotion pouring out at this moment, reaching its peak, similar to that feeling." Shinichi Iwahashi and she described their thoughts.

Anyway, it is a semi-finished stage, at this time, changing the lyrics and changing the arrangement, anything can happen.Of course, it is also possible to make a lot of changes and finally overthrow them all, and still maintain the original state.

Meihechan didn't say a word when she received such a task.

Ordinary audience Wan Yumei watched everything and felt curious, what else could be added to it?From her layman's point of view, the lyrics of this song are already perfect, and adding a few lines to it would seem cumbersome.

Mihe-chan thought for a while, then raised her head, "Shen Yi-kun, can you help me with the prison shed?"

Yanqiao Shinichi used actions instead of answers, picked up the earphones and put them on.

Masato Nakamura was not far behind, and stood in front of the console together, wanting to experience Mihe-chan's new inspiration.Driven by this, Wanyumi Watanabe glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi.

At this time, a headset was handed to her, which was given by Iwahashi Shinichi.

Watanabe Mayumi breathed a sigh of relief, and put on her earphones.

Mihe-chan, who re-entered the recording room, did not go to the music stand, but began to think for herself.

After thinking about it for a while, she began to sing.

Instead of rushing directly to the place that Iwahashi Shinichi pointed out was a little bit worse, he sang from the beginning.After singing it once, she stepped back and sang it again.

It's like looking for a feeling while singing.

Until she got better and better, she forgot about the three people on the opposite side and swayed herself to her heart's content.And then—after the last sentence "Look, it slowly came true as imagined", Mihe-chan added an impromptu.
