Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 466 466. Not enough rock
Mayumi Watanabe thought the song's lyrics were "perfect," but in reality, they were more just right than perfect.

"Just right" is a rather wonderful state, which means that if you add any more lyrics to it, it will be suspected of superfluous.

During the process of auditioning to find out the feeling, Mihe-chan confirmed that he could not add any more lines to the lyrics.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi believes that this song still lacks something, and has not reached its true apex.Miwa-chan trusts Iwahashi Shinichi's judgment, but also trusts her own feelings.

She is confident that she should not add any more lyrics to it, but she also thinks about Shinichi Iwahashi's question.

While thinking, he sang the song "Future Vision II".

In the finalized first version of the arrangement, after "you see, it slowly came true as imagined", the accompaniment did not fade out immediately to end, but was followed by an instrumental performance of about 30 seconds.

After singing her part, she silently listened to the 30-second accompaniment.

30 seconds is not long but not short either. Mihe-chan is now thinking about what to add to it, so listen carefully.However, while listening, she suddenly thought of one thing.

If this song were to be sung at a concert, what would the audience do and what would she do during the 30 seconds until the accompaniment was completely over and before switching to the next song?

Will the audience listen to the last 30 seconds of accompaniment in silence?

What about her?During these 30 seconds, do you want to stand on the stage and silently watch the audience's reaction?
Mei Hejiang thought that she would use these 30 seconds to perform an impromptu performance to drive the atmosphere in the venue.

I have loved Western music since I was a child, especially listening to a lot of jazz.After coming to Tokyo from Hokkaido, she also worked as a jazz singer in the club. She has a solid foundation in jazz and at the same time advocates the free way of performing jazz, which is reflected in her music.

When performing live, she will use the 30 seconds to improvise.

So, what will the record listener do while listening to these 30 seconds?

Even, Meihechan glanced at the three people on the other side of the glass wall, what were the three of them thinking during these 30 seconds?A naughty thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

Shinichi-kun, Masato-san, and Watanabe-san, the three of them are also her audience now.Like facing the audience at a concert, how about an impromptu performance during these 30 seconds?
Shinichi-kun said that it was still a little short of the real apex.

Then start an impromptu performance to scare him and see how he will react...

Mihe-chan made up her mind, was in a good mood, and naturally entered the state.When I sang again for the second time, my mood changed. Facing the three people on the other side of the glass wall, I thought it was a concert instead of recording.

So, after "Look, it slowly came true as imagined", Mihechan, who was emotionally brewing, added an impromptu performance without lyrics in the last 30 seconds.

On this side of the glass wall, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help holding his breath when he heard her first rising tone.He stared at Meihejiang opposite, at this moment, she had already entered her own world.

She seemed to be ignoring the audience here, but it seemed that she was singing with great interest for the sake of more audiences.

She raised her tune again and again, swaying her singing capital wantonly. It can be said that only she with first-class singing skills can afford such a performance.

And several consecutive rising tones made the three people listening here unconsciously follow her voice, raising it higher and higher, and fuller and fuller.

With such an impromptu performance, the feeling that something is about to erupt is getting stronger and stronger.

until the highest point was reached—

"Whoo~"

The moment the impromptu ended, the three people on the side of the glass wall breathed a sigh of relief.Then, what reverberated in my heart was the satisfaction of being well received.

It was a stroke of genius.

"Perfect." Brother Nakamura said.

Wanyumi Watanabe also felt incredible. Before this, she never thought that she could hear such a recording and witness how Yoshida Miwa made an already excellent song even more brilliant.

At this time, she remembered what Yanqiao Shinichi said just now, "It's not close", and couldn't help but look at his reaction.

After adding this improvisation, the whole song has reached a new level.From this point of view, what Shinichi Iwahashi said is indeed correct, so, has Yoshida Miwa's performance reached the culmination of what he said?

Shinichi Iwahashi was about to take off his earphones, and chatted with them about the impromptu performance by Caimi and Jiang just now.At this time, it suddenly occurred to him that something was wrong, and he operated the equipment by himself.

After confirming the recording just now, he took off the earphones, "It's amazing."

When he said this, he had a smile on his face.

Nakamura and Watanabe Wanyumi, who took off their earphones at the same time, saw his expression and were convinced that he was in a good mood.Because - Mihe-chan just sang the impromptu performance for more than 30 seconds.

Not even 1 minute.

After the accompaniment was played, she ignored, or rather forgot that the accompaniment in the earphones had disappeared, and sang a cappella in her own rhythm to complete a complete impromptu performance.

And this point, because the three people were intoxicated by this impromptu performance, none of them realized that the accompaniment tape had been played.In other words, knowing that the accompaniment tape has been played, I still have more to say about this improvisation.

Therefore, each ignored the matter.

Brother Nakamura laughed again and turned into an emoji, "It's really amazing."

Ordinary audience Wanyumi Watanabe didn't know what to say for a while, so she put down her earphones and waited to hear what the three of them had to say.But in my heart, there is no need to say more about Yoshida Miwa's impromptu evaluation.

Anyone who has seen Yoshida Miwa's talents will not be surprised that Iwahashi Shinichi entered the industry because he wanted to sell her.

……

Meihechan also listened to the recording just now, but she didn't care about the a cappella without accompaniment, and asked Shinichi Iwahashi, "Is it okay to sing like this?"

She looked extraordinarily childlike when she sang to her heart's content.Yanqiao Shinichi smiled at her, "Of course it's no problem.... Now, it's time for Masato-san and I to solve the problem."

"Prolong the last part of the accompaniment, Masato-san," said Iwahashi Shinichi.

Masato Nakamura also agreed, "...just give Miwa-chan enough time to play, so that everyone can experience it."

The two teammates reached a consensus almost immediately and began to work on the research of the second arrangement version.Meihejiang's mission came to an end for the time being, she was free, and she turned her attention to another person in the recording studio.

When Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura were studying the new arrangement version together, Wanyumi Watanabe thought of something, and her expression became a little serious.

However, since they were working, it was not good to interrupt their inspiration by pouring cold water on them, so they didn't say anything.

Miwa-chan observed Watanabe Mayumi's expression, pouted her mouth thoughtfully.

……

The arrangement of the second version was still proposed by Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura in partnership, and then handed over to Brother Nakamura to complete.There is already a version, mainly for the improvisation at the end, but it hasn't been discussed for too long.

After his thoughts settled down, Iwahashi Shin looked at the time, and then at Mayumi Watanabe.

When coming here, in order to facilitate the movement, Watanabe Manyumi took the car of Iwahashi Shinichi.At this moment, the song to be auditioned for her has already been listened to, and before starting work, it is better to send her back to the office.

"Send me back, do you want to come back again?"

Coming out of the recording studio and standing on the aisle, Mayumi Watanabe said to him, "I can just take a taxi back by myself."

"It won't be long before we return to the office from here..." Yanqiao Shinichi said this, seeing that she had made up his mind, he changed his words, "Okay."

He went to the front desk and called the taxi company.

Then, the two walked out of the recording studio together and came to the side of the main road.

"It's a great song, Shinichi-kun." Wanyumi Watanabe looked at the straight asphalt road and suddenly started the topic.

Iwahashi Shinichi kept an eye on the taxi for her, "Indeed. And the improvisation at the end is really unexpected—but, if it's Meihe-chan, it's not surprising that it can do this."

"Hmm..." Watanabe Mayumi was vague.

This ambiguous attitude made Yanqiao Shen look at her subconsciously.

"Shen Yi-kun."

With only the two of them, Mayumi Watanabe was finally able to express her worries just now, "Extend the accompaniment to allow time for Yoshida-san to play freely. In that way, the length of the song will also change accordingly."

"Well."

The first arrangement version is about 5 minutes. If the accompaniment is extended, the final product of this song will definitely exceed 6 minutes, and may even exceed 7 minutes.

Watanabe Wanyumi reminded him, "We only have 5 minutes for the performance of the Red and White Song Festival."

Iwahashi Shinichi's expression also turned serious.

"This song is really good."

Watanabe Wanyumi said, "However, it has another characteristic, that is, it is intertwined. If it is a song that is already familiar, it is another matter, but according to your expectations, removing any of the lyrics will make it lose its color. "

Originally, I could barely finish singing in 5 minutes, but now with this improvisation, the time is obviously not enough.However, no matter which section is cut off, it will detract from the song.

Watanabe Wanyumi's reminder put Iwahashi Shinichi in a dilemma again.

At this time, the taxi came and stopped in front of them.Watanabe Mayumi said goodbye to Iwahashi Shin, "Then, I will excuse you first."

As soon as she got into the car, Iwahashi Shinichi also got into the car.

Watanabe Mayumi looked at him, hesitating to speak.

"Let's continue talking." Yanqiao Shen said to her.

Watanabe Wanyumi reported the address to the driver and talked to him, "What are you going to do?"

"Let's fight with NHK to extend the 5 minutes to 7 minutes. Can you give it a try?"

Watanabe Wanyumi is not optimistic, "If it exceeds 7 minutes, the Music Association will count it as two songs. The stage of the Red and White Song Festival is also a game between various forces. Giving newcomers 5 minutes is almost the limit."

"But you should give it a try," said Iwahashi Shinichi.

Wanyumi Watanabe showed a little disapproval, and didn't answer the question, "For now, it's the most realistic way to shorten the duration of this song, or..."

Or don't sing this song and prepare another one.

"If the rehearsal time is shortened, the whole song will be sung during the live broadcast." Shinichi Yanqiao muttered.

In that case, the following program arrangements will be completely disrupted, and it is indispensable to mention a NHK ban order afterwards.Not only red and white, maybe even NHK programs can't be on.

If the change of mind during the live broadcast affects the singers who will appear later, it will be a knot with other agencies and record companies.

"Our band is not that rock and roll." Shinichi Yanqiao laughed at himself.

They want to be popular, and their goal is to go to the people, not the kind of rebellious rock musicians who are more popular because of their rebellion.That being the case, you can't do this kind of self-defeating thing.

On the way to the office, neither of them spoke much.

"arrive."

The car stopped downstairs at the office, and Mayumi Watanabe got out of the car, "Anyway, I'll try to coordinate first."

Anyway, as soon as Yanqiao Shen insisted, she went to try.

After sending Wanyumi Watanabe away, Shinichi Iwahashi told the driver to go back the same way.Until then, thinking about it belatedly, he laughed at himself, if he had known that he would come back with her in the end, he might as well have insisted on sending her off in the first place.

After laughing at himself, Shinichi Iwahashi recalled the conversation with Mayumi Watanabe just now, and fell into a dilemma again.

……

"Shen Yi-kun has been gone for a long time."

Iwahashi Shinichi had just returned to the recording studio, Miwa-chan said to him.

"He sent Watanabe-san back to the office and came here again." Yanqiao Shinichi explained.

Meihejiang let out an "oh" and teased him casually, "Mr. Shen Yi is really thoughtful in doing things."

"..."

I can't tell her that I just sent people to the door, but then I followed them, right?If she finds out, she will definitely laugh at such a superfluous approach.

Therefore, Shinichi Iwahashi can only pretend to be stupid.

Fortunately, Meihejiang was in a good mood and didn't pester him about these things.Now that they are back, pulling Iwahashi Shinichi, the three of them discussed again what songs to include in the album.

Seeing her smile, Yanqiao Shenyi didn't want to spoil the fun, so he didn't mention the time limit of the song.Besides, I haven't tried to fight with NHK yet, how do I know if it can be successfully resolved?

So, he put the matter aside for the time being, and discussed about the new album together.

……

In the studio until 06:30 in the evening, the three went to dinner together.

Brother Nakamura will go back to the recording studio after dinner to continue making arrangements, and Miwa-chan will also return to the recording studio.The two looked at Yanqiao Shinichi, and Yanqiao Shinichi said: "I have an appointment with someone else later."

"Eh~ I'm so boring." Meihejiang pursed her lips.

Faced with her reaction, Yanqiao Shinichi had no second reaction other than a dry smile.
