Chapter 143 What It's Like to Have a Middle School Second Brother

"Thank you so much for Akiyama-san's care, but I will ask Akiyama-san for advice during the recording later."

Iijima Sanchi not only wanted Kazuki Akiyama to provide lyrics and music, but also hoped that he could help guide him during the recording later.

After all, songwriters have a deeper understanding of songs, and the saying that Kazuki Akiyama has a first-class musicality has already spread throughout the industry.

With his participation, not to mention how much it can help, at least there are a lot of gimmicks in the publicity.

"Iijima-san is very polite, and I am happy to help if necessary."

Kazuki Akiyama was a little curious about helping others check the recording for the first time, and it seemed good to try the work of the man in black behind the scenes.

The next step is the communication between Yoshitaka Watanabe and Mitomo Iijima. After all, they belong to two different firms. When they cooperate, they need to communicate clearly in advance about the sharing of some interests.

Akiyama Kazuki is his own personal office, and he can decide for himself to confess to others.There is no cross-interest involved with Being, after all, this is his own personal behavior.

However, Sanzhi Iijima needed to go back and obtain the consent of the firm, but Johnny probably wouldn't do much to stop him in this matter.

Because if they had their own way, they wouldn't let SMAP's singles slow down.

After bidding farewell to Mitomo Iijima and his party, Kazuki Akiyama returned to the office and gave the song "Like the Starlight Under That Sky" to Yoshitaka Watanabe.

He will come forward to communicate with Johnny about the rest of the matter. Kazuki Akiyama still has confidence in this song, which is definitely higher in quality than SMAP's previous idol songs.

Speaking of which, Kazuki Akiyama's personal office is now fully supported by himself, and the revenue mainly comes from his commercial performances, advertisements, film appointments, and the management and use of the copyrights of several pure music songs he made before, etc. .

It's not that he doesn't want to sign a contract to discover new talents, but that he is still subject to a lot of constraints for the time being.

The most important and the first thing to consider is the background issue. I don't have a huge music library to use at will. This is a force majeure factor.

The other is that there is no professional team available, and I want to sign a newcomer to produce a single and then release it.

That requires a lot of behind-the-scenes personnel, such as sound engineers, sound mixers, arrangers, composers, and so on.The production of a song cannot be turned into a physical CD immediately with the music and score.

Also, his debut time is too short, less than a year.In terms of qualifications, it is not convincing, even if it is a best-selling singer now.

So Kazuki Akiyama wasn't too entangled in the matter of brokerage affairs, but he still had some thoughts about the future in his heart.For the time being, let’s take a step-by-step approach in a down-to-earth manner.

...

Kazuki Akiyama drove to the door of a hotel in Xiaoping City early in the morning of the next day. Manto Akiyama, who was already ready to go, couldn't wait to open the door of the co-pilot and came up.

"Where are your friends?" Akiyama Kazuki asked curiously seeing that he was the only one waiting here.

"They have already gone to the schools they applied for in advance. Let's leave soon, brother, but we must not be late." Akiyama Shinto urged him to leave quickly, and he couldn't wait for a moment because he was impatient.

"Hay, what are you doing in such a hurry, the hotel is so close to the school, you can even walk there to catch up."

Although complaining in his mouth, Akiyama Kazuki started the car immediately, and he also knew that today is a very important day in life for Manto.

At that time, in order to make it convenient for him to take the second entrance examination today, the hotel checked in for him was Kodaira City, which is in the same place as Musashino Art University.

The distance between the two places is actually very close, and it takes only 10 minutes to drive to the gate of Musashino Art University.

To be honest, if there are not many students gathered here, it would be difficult for Kazuki Akiyama to link it with Musashino Art University, one of the famous Japanese art schools.

Just looking at the school gate, there is a gray-white concrete long-haired frame standing on the road. It does not have the artistic atmosphere that an art school should have, and it is too minimalist.

However, Akiyama Shinto had an expression as if on a pilgrimage, looking at the dusty gate and chanting "Si Guoyi" in his mouth.

Well, the brain circuit of art cannot be figured out by ordinary people.Maybe it's also possible that I don't understand it. After all, the way is simple, and all methods are unified.

Akiyama Art put on a mask and was about to get off the car, while Akiyama Mantoya picked up his backpack like a baby and followed behind his brother.In the backpack are all his carefully prepared works for taking the exam.

After all, it is a university of fine arts, in addition to cultural courses, another more important assessment standard is the student's own portfolio.

Before arriving at the school gate, because it was still early, most of the students were quietly waiting to enter.

There is also equipment similar to a TV station's OB van, and a host is holding a microphone to interview the surrounding students.

At this time, the campus radio in the school suddenly rang, and a familiar melody came to my ears.

"Brother, this seems to be Ms. Sakai's song." Akiyama Manto said excitedly, it was the song "Don't Give Up" that was playing on the radio, and it was appropriate at this moment.

"By the way, my brother and Ms. Sakai are in the same club, do you know each other very well in private?" A small flame called gossip began to ignite in Akiyama Shinto's eyes.

Qiushan Yiyi looked at his curiosity and laughed, "Familiar, not only familiar, but also..."

"Teng", the small flame turned into a gushing flame, "Then..." Akiyama Shinto's eyes began to become wretched.

"Pa", "It hurts, it hurts" Akiyama Shinto looked at his brother innocently while covering his forehead, not understanding why he suddenly gave him such a blow.

Kazuki Akiyama withdrew his outstretched two-finger Zen, "Is this what you should ask, prepare for your exam well, and think wildly."

After speaking, the old god put on the airs of being an older brother.

At this moment, a microphone suddenly reached his mouth, "Good morning, my classmate, I am Mitsuyo Kusano, the live reporter of NHK TV's "Good Morning Japan" news program.

I came to take the second entrance examination of Musashino Art University today. How do you feel? Are you nervous? "

"Uh, don't be nervous, I'm here to send my younger brother to take the entrance exam." While talking, he looked at Matou beside him, indicating that the master is here, you are asking the wrong person.

"Then what prompted you and your brother to take the entrance exam for Musashino Art University?" After speaking, Mitsudai Kusano extended the microphone to Kazuki Akiyama, and his eyes were full of encouragement.

It seems like a song and tears, the two brothers supported each other and vowed to get into the university of their dreams, and the passionate story of realizing it was about to be revealed in front of them.

"It's a dream! It's the pursuit of art! It's the determination to become a great man in the comics industry that brought me to where I am today!"

Akiyama Shinto leaned in front of the microphone and answered loudly, his brows were furrowed and his expression resolute.

"Si Guoyi, by the way, I haven't asked the two classmates what to call them?" After Kusano Mitsudai finished speaking, he extended the microphone in front of Akiyama Kazuki. She still felt that his brother was more gentle and handsome.

　Thank you for your support and recommendations!
