Chapter 18 Small talk
"Mr. Akashi, my debut single has been finalized." Kazuki Akiyama and Masao Akashi mentioned their single.

"Oh?" Akashi Masao became interested, "Have you discussed with Akiyama-kun and President Nagato, which song is it?"

Akiyama Kazuki handed the manuscript paper of the two songs he had prepared to Akashi Masao.

After receiving the manuscript paper handed over by Kazuki Akiyama, Akashi Masao was a little curious why there were two copies, and Daikoku Moji also came over to see the single prepared by Kazuki Akiyama.

"Well, this song is not bad as a debut song." In Akashi Masao's view, a newcomer's debut single can't be too bad, but there is no need to choose too good, as long as it is above average.

The first and safe way for a newcomer is to let others know that you are such a person. After cultivating a certain popularity, next time you will come up with a better work than last time.

This will bring a sense of surprise to people, especially those who first followed you and became your fans, and it will give them a sense of accomplishment that they have grown and excelled with their idols.

Therefore, in Akashi Masao's opinion, it is also appropriate to use this "Thank you" as his debut song.

"This "Bamboo Field Lullaby" is interesting. Akiyama-kun must have recomposed it, right?" Masao Akashi stroked the gray beard on his chin, and began to think about how to arrange the music to better match the melody.

Daikoku Moji was watching the title song and humming softly. Hearing Masao Akashi's words, he couldn't help taking it over and looking at it, "Is this song Akiyama-kun going to use as C/W? It's really special. idea."

"This CD is prepared for my mother. She has been looking forward to the day when I can release her own CD, so I chose these two songs." Kazuki Akiyama explained why he chose these two songs to release own debut CD.

"I see." As Masao Akashi was about to walk to the workbench, he couldn't help but want to try arranging.

"Enough is enough, Akashi-san, what time is it now, let's go eat first." Daikoku Moji took the lead in protesting, because she often cooperated with Akashi Masao, she spoke very casually.

When it comes to eating, Kazuki Akiyama is also a little hungry. He only ate a little in the morning and hurried to squeeze the subway.By the time I got out of the carriage, my stomach was already deflated, not to mention the whole morning class.

Masao Akashi smiled and turned back, "That's right, today is the first day Akiyama-kun joined Being, so we should celebrate it."

"By the way, Akiyama-kun is old enough to drink alcohol." Akashi Masao confirmed again.

"Okay, I'm 22 this year, and I usually have a drink or two." Kazuki Akiyama's face looked a little tender, and he thought he had just turned [-] if he didn't pay attention.

"That's good," Masao Akashi nodded, "We can get together more in the future, and I'll introduce a few more people to you. If you hang out in this circle, it won't hurt to get to know a few more people."

Tsk, it's different to be surrounded by senior bosses, wouldn't it be possible to have connections in the future, Kazuki Akiyama thought happily.

"Speaking of celebrating, it's just the three of us, I'll call someone again." When Dahei Moji heard that there was going to be a celebration drink, he immediately regained his spirits, tossed his hair and went to shake people in a hurry.

Ok?Big Black Mulberry went to call someone, maybe Kazuki Akiyama became excited in an instant, since the last time he caught a glimpse, he hadn't actually had a formal face to face with her.

After looking around for a while, I saw Daikoku Moji leading two people in. One was Oda Tetsuro who I had met once, and a young girl who looked somewhat similar to Sakai Izumi at first glance, with long hair and simple clothes. fresh.

"Eh? It's not spring sauce?" Kazuki Akiyama asked subconsciously, with a slightly disappointed expression on his face.

He didn't hear everyone's answer, so he came back to his senses, and saw everyone staring at him, with a smile that was not a smile.

cough. .Kazuki Akiyama seldom blushed, he was just curious, he didn't have any bad intentions.

"Haha, Oda-kun, did you see that? I said that this guy will definitely inquire about Izumi-chan if he can't hold back for two days." Akashi Masao smiled and turned his head to tease Oda Tetsuro about Kazuki Akiyama's embarrassment.

Oda Tetsuro looked at Kazuki Akiyama with a rare smile, "Miss Izumi basically doesn't drink alcohol, and rarely attends such parties."

"Hey, Akiyama-kun, is it really okay to say this in front of Keirin?" Daikoku Moji also complained with a smile.

Only then did Kazuki Akiyama come to his senses, and quickly apologized to the girl, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a newcomer who just signed a contract, Kazuki Akiyama."

The girl smiled faintly and waved her hand to express that she didn't mind.Then he answered, "Hello, I'm Utoku Takako."

Keiko Utoku is a former member of BNQUEENS, which just announced its disbandment this year, and previously served as a backing vocalist in the orchestra.Last year, she formed the idol group Mi-Ke with Haruka Murakami and Mami Watanabe. Everyone likes to call her Keirin.

She is also low-key and introverted, she doesn't seem to fight or grab, and she doesn't feel offended by Kazuki Akiyama's words just now.

Daikoku Moji joked with a smile and then explained, "Quan Shui recorded songs very late last night, and should be resting at home now, and I will introduce you to each other later."

"By the way, Mr. Qiushan is Mr. Nianxia, ​​you just called the spring water "spring sauce", right?" Dahei Moji confirmed as if remembering something again.

"Hahaha" Everyone couldn't bear it any longer and laughed, Kazuki Akiyama didn't know how to explain it for a while.It can't be said that everyone in the previous life called her either "sister" or "spring sauce".

After a lot of laughing, a group of talents organized a group to find a barbecue restaurant in Roppongi, and ate like ordinary people while talking about funny things.

Although they are all from the entertainment industry, they are either behind-the-scenes, newcomers, or relatively low-key, and hardly anyone recognizes them on the street.

Think about it, not long ago, you were struggling with how to step into this circle, but now you can chat and laugh with senior bigwigs.

Kazuki Akiyama also had to lament, sometimes it is because of the lack of such an opportunity, once he came in, he became a so-called insider, which added a layer of mystery to outsiders.

After lunch, I went back to the company in the afternoon and took a two-hour vocal class.

After the course was over, I went to the recording studio to find Masao Akashi, wanting to see how a song is arranged.

In his spare time, Kazuki Akiyama asked Masao Akashi why the voice he thought of from the monitor headphones in the recording studio was different from the voice he usually speaks and sings.

The last time I was in the recording studio because I didn't get used to it at the beginning, I almost went out of tune.

Akashi Masao explained to him with a smile that the sound fed back from the studio monitor earphones is different from the medium in which we usually speak.

In the recording studio, the sound of my own breathing or the slight impact of my movements will be recorded by the recording equipment, and when it is transmitted back through the equipment, it will make people feel that it is not my own voice.

This is also the purpose of Akiyama Kazuki's vocal music class, to practice vocalization and control breath.Otherwise, if Ye Luzi goes up, what will be recorded will be noise or even out of tune.

Masao Akashi explained to Kazuki Akiyama that the recording engineer usually helps you find some problems when singing while recording, and adjusts the voice to a full state so that your voice and accompaniment have a good harmony fusion.

Therefore, during the recording process, any change in pitch, rhythm, breath, and emotion will be recorded without modification, and then adjusted for these places one by one.

I usually feel like singing in the recording studio over and over until the producer is satisfied. I just realized today that there are so many detailed and professional things in it.

It seems that professionalism in every line of work is not so taken for granted, Kazuki Akiyama thought to himself, if he wants to work hard in this line of work in the future, step by step to the top, these knowledge will need to be learned in the future.

I am just at the beginning of the threshold, and there is still a long way to go.
