Chapter 17 Selection of Debut Singles
Akiyama Kazuki came to Nagato Taiko's office and knocked on the door. Hearing the sound of "please come in" from inside, Akiyama Kazuki pushed the door and entered.

Seeing that it was Kazuki Akiyama, Taiyuki Nagato was a little surprised but got up and led Kazuki Akiyama to the sofa in the meeting room.

"Akiyama-kun, you want to ask about the first single?"

Kazuki Akiyama, who was still thinking about how to speak, was a little surprised to hear Taiyuki Nagato express his purpose first.

"President Nagato knows?"

Nagato Taiyuki showed such an expression, "Every newcomer who signs a contract can't wait to release his own single, let alone someone like Akiyama-kun who has more than one original song."

Since Nagato Taiyuki said so, then Akiyama Kazuki didn't have any embarrassment, and said openly that he wanted to prepare his debut single in advance.

"Akiyama-kun, which song do you want to use as your debut song?" Nagato Taiyuki first asked Kazuki Akiyama's thoughts.

"I want to use that "Thank You" as a debut single." Kazuki Akiyama expressed his thoughts.

"Reason?" Nagato Taiko took a sip of coffee.

"This song is written for my mother. She supported my musical dreams when I was very young. Without her support, I probably wouldn't be able to make it today."

This song is the first song that Akiyama Kazuki fell into a dream, and it was also because he dreamed of his mother in his dream that he had this song.

Although Kazuki Akiyama's soul is no longer from the original island country, but in the first period of time, he often dreamed of Hara's mother, which shows how deep Hara's feelings for his mother are.

Even the current self is also affected by this, the kind of family affection that comes from the heart is thicker than water can really be felt, and it may have become the obsession of the original body.

So Kazuki Akiyama plans to set this song for his debut single. On the one hand, it is indeed gratitude and longing for his mother, on the other hand, it is also an confession to the original body, and thanks for his perseverance.

Nagato Taiyuki is actually optimistic about the song "Until the End of the World". First, it is very similar to the style of Being now, and second, it also expresses the pursuit of dreams, but the emotion is much more intense.

It should be very in line with RB people's understanding of dreams. In fact, it is enough for the second grade.

But he also felt that Kazuki Akiyama's current fame could not fully drive the sales of this song, so let's think about it first after gaining fame.

After gaining some fame in the entertainment industry, through various announcements and programs, he can find a well-known TIE-UP. With the quality of the song "Until the End of the World", the results will definitely not be bad.

Only in this way can we maximize the benefits. Which song to choose for the debut single depends on how to bring more profits to the company.

Thinking of this, Nagato Taiko made up his mind.

"It's okay to be so. Akiyama-kun's debut single should follow Akiyama-kun's ideas. The company respects the ideas of its artists."

Pretty words don't cost money, and it can also make the artists under the banner feel respected. If he can make money by only speaking beautiful words, he can talk wildly every day.

Akiyama Kazuki didn't expect Nagato Taiyuki to agree so readily, and thought he would have to spend a lot of time to persuade him.

"Now that the title song has been determined, does C/W have an idea for a song? If not, it doesn't matter. The company still has a lot of music in stock. You can go and pick it out."

A CD is divided into side A and side B. Side A is the main song, side B is the C/W song, and the C/W song is also considered as a bonus song. Usually it will not be included in the album, and it is also a feature of the RB record industry. up.

Now popular CDs are basically 8cm single discs, and the internal storage is limited. Generally, a CD only contains two songs, so there will be A side and B side.

Taiko Nagato is now asking about the arrangement of another C/W song besides the title song. There will not be too many restrictions on C/W songs. They can be original or adapted.

For the C/W song, Kazuki Akiyama is also ready.

"Is there a guitar here, President?"

"Of course" Nagato Taiko asked his assistant to get a guitar, and he also wanted to see what kind of song Kazuki Akiyama had prepared as C/W.

Kazuki Akiyama took the guitar sent by his assistant, plucked the strings lightly, and slowly sang the adapted "Takeda Lullaby".

This song was already highly sung as a folk song, but Kazuki Akiyama's current version is very different from the original version. It can already be regarded as a popular song, and the lyrics have also been adjusted.

Taiko Nagato did not expect Kazuki Akiyama to use this song as C/W. When he first heard this song, he frowned subconsciously.

Because this song has been banned before and it involves sensitive topics, the first red line to remember as an artist is not to touch sensitive topics.

But after listening carefully, I found that the adaptation is still quite large, the lyrics have also been changed, and the emotions expressed are different, so there is no problem at all.

And it still sounds very good, more than enough as a C/W.

What's more, the original song has also been unsealed, let alone stepping on any red line.

"It seems that the entire CD of Qiu Shanjun is a gift for mother."

Nagato Taiyuki also felt a little emotional. From these two songs alone, it can be seen that Kazuki Akiyama is a person who pays great attention to filial piety.

For the sake of their own future, some artists disregarded their mother's life or death, and were threatened by Jidao with their mother's urn, they just ignored them.

Comparing the two, it is natural that people with good moral character are more likely to be respected.

Kazuki Akiyama smiled and did not speak. It can be said that this CD of his is indeed prepared for his mother. Since the main song is gratitude, then C/W should also use mother as the theme.

"Since Mr. Qiushan has this idea, let's use a CD for his mother as the theme of this CD, and the follow-up publicity can also be carried out around this."

Taiko Nagato finally agreed to Kazuki Akiyama's arrangement for this CD. The only regret is that the flavor of Being is not strong enough and does not continue the usual style of Being.

But it doesn't matter, he is very optimistic about the next single, and the style of Being is also in the same line.This might not be one of the reasons why he is optimistic about Kazuki Akiyama.

Nagato Taiko also asked Akiyama Kazuki to study hard in the vocal music class and record his own single as soon as possible before letting him go.

Walking out of Nagato Taiko's office, Akiyama Kazuki was going to the recording studio to find Akashi Masao and told him that his single had been basically confirmed.

Later, I can arrange related arrangement work earlier, and when I walked to the recording studio far away, I could already hear someone talking, and the voice was somewhat familiar.

"Dahei-san?" Akiyama went to the door and saw that the people talking inside turned out to be Dahei Moji and Akashi Masao.

"Akiyama-kun, long time no see. The last time Akashi-san said that you came to the recording studio to audition, I knew that Akiyama-kun must be fine." Daikoku Moji still dressed in a refreshing and handsome way, and spoke as brightly as a big sister's head .

"I haven't thanked Dahei Sang for the recommendation at the beginning." This is really due to Dahei Moji's affection, without her, I wouldn't know where I am now.

Daikoku Moji said indifferently, "Even without my recommendation, President Nagato will definitely sign the contract when he sees Akiyama-kun's face."

"Hahaha" Masao Akashi on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard Daikoku Moji say this.

Kazuki Akiyama was a little embarrassed. After all, he had also heard that the president of Nagato first valued the artists under his banner for appearance, and then for talent.

After Daikoku Moji joined Being, his singing ability has already reached above the level, and he can even write lyrics and compose music by himself, but because Nagato Taiyuki pays too much attention to the artist's appearance, Daikoku Moji's life has been suppressed for a long time.

Before that, Daikoku Maji could only harmonize with other singers, but seeing her indifferent appearance now, Kazuki Akiyama had to admire her mentality.

In fact, Akiyama Kazuki felt that although Daikoku Maji could not be regarded as a beauty, he should still be fine in the upper middle class.

Although it can't be compared with the appearance of Izumi Sakai and Keiko Utoku, it is not impossible to make a debut.

After chatting and laughing, Kazuki Akiyama talked with Masao Akashi about his debut single.

　Thank you for your recommendation and monthly support!There is a little bit of Calvin, but I still insist on forcing myself to change it every day
