Chapter 202 Album Selection
Tetsuya Komuro looked at Kazuki Akiyama and Masaki Fukuyama with a smile.

Beside him was a beautiful woman with long hair and big eyes, with exaggerated makeup, who was looking at Kazuki Akiyama and the others curiously.

"So it's Xiaoshi-san, I've admired you for a long time."

Akiyama Kazuki and Fukuyama Masaka also greeted each other politely, and they didn't act contemptuously because of the other party's compliment.

Komuro Tetsuya Akiyama Kazuki has also heard of him, and he has become popular as a producer in the 80s, and he has also appeared in red and white.

Seiko Matsuda, Kyoko Koizumi, Akina Nakamori, and Misato Watanabe, he has all been their producers.

Moreover, Akiyama Kazuki also heard Nagato Taiyuki mention him, and the two seem to have known each other before.

"Nagato-san is an amazing producer, who can discover a genius like Akiyama-kun. Of course, Akiyama-kun's own talent is also amazing."

Komuro Tetsuya sighed inadvertently, thinking in his heart that Nagato was very lucky that he picked up the treasure.

It's a pity that I started too late at that time, and missed a great opportunity to become a blockbuster.

When Kazuki Akiyama sent the demo to cast a wide net, Avex naturally did not miss it.

It's just that when Tetsuya Komuro noticed his demo, Kazuki Akiyama had already signed a contract with Being.

Later, when Kazuki Akiyama was on fire, he also secretly regretted it for a while.

It's just that this year he has found his direction again, and electronic dance music is his next main direction.

In February of this year, has tried to launch the first electronic dance music as its own style of the band, trf.

Although the current response is mediocre, he has figured out a way.The control of popular wind direction is more precise.

"Komuro-san has won the award, thanks to everyone." Akiyama Kazuki said politely, he couldn't figure out Komuro Tetsuya's intentions, so he could only be vague and perfunctory.

Komuro Tetsuya smiled, but felt a little disapproving.

He is very confident in his sense of smell, and Akiyama Kazuki no longer pays attention to it.

As long as I experiment a few more times and create a few artists whose sales are comparable to Kazuki Akiyama's, it's easy.

After a few more polite words, the two sides dispersed.

Kazuki Akiyama also seemed to feel Komuro's attitude, but he didn't care, as long as he didn't get in his way, after all, you can't make everyone like you.

Because the recording of the cooperative single was unexpectedly smooth, it also saved Kazuki Akiyama a lot of time.

And most of the time he saved was spent in the recording studio.Prepare for your first album.

Oda Tetsuro, Akashi Masao, Hayama Takeshi, Kawashima Mika, and Sakai Izumi were all invited together today by Akiyama Kazuki.

Originally, Izumi Sakai wondered why she was looking for the confirmation of the album's songs.

So Akiyama Kazuki could only invite her on the grounds that "I want my sister to help guard the gate as a senior".

As for the real reason, just look at Sakai Izumi's expectant eyes.

Bah, you said you are not licking the dog?
Kazuki Akiyama distributed the printed tracks to everyone one by one, and after receiving the documents he handed over, everyone looked down carefully.

Everyone is also full of curiosity and anticipation for Kazuki Akiyama's first album, which is completely written and composed by himself.

I don't know if he can come up with the same high-quality songs as the previous singles.

As for the songs prepared by Kazuki Akiyama for the first album, except for the main titles of the five singles released earlier, all of them are included.

There are also seven songs including "Until the End of the World", "Bridge of Glory", "Metropolis", and "Butter-fly", making the entire album a total of twelve songs.

The number of songs is the same as most albums of this era, twelve or thirteen are standard.

In fact, he was late when he released the album. Most singers usually have three or four singles that sell well, and they will release the album immediately.

With the popularity accumulated from the previous singles as a base, and then releasing an album according to the trend, it is no different from picking up money.

Both the artist and the record company are also keen on this, but he postponed the production of the album because of the schedule.

But Kazuki Akiyama originally planned to release an album a year, just add a few singles, and did not pursue high-density releases.

One is that being too tired doesn't fit his somewhat salty personality, and the other is that it is also restricted by the apocalypse, so he can't make waves.

"This album is pretty good, with so many great songs."

Masao Akashi was amazed at Kazuki Akiyama's generosity after reading the score in his hand.

At the same time, he thought to himself, he really did not disappoint, he was as stunning and talented as ever.

"It's simply a luxury." Mika Kawashima looked at Kazuki Akiyama and complained with envy and hatred.

In her opinion, many songs in the album are more than enough to be used as the main theme of the A side, but they are all stuffed into the same album by him.

If those singers who suffer from not singing well know this, wouldn't their hearts break down?

"It is indeed a very good song, and the quality of this album has made people expect it."

From the perspective of a fellow composer, Oda Tetsuro has to say that Kazuki Akiyama once again amazed him.

When Kazuki Akiyama heard their recognition of him, he also smiled happily, and couldn't help looking at Izumi Sakai.

Noticing his gaze, Izumi Sakai smiled slightly, "It's amazing, at least I'm looking forward to it."

Akiyama Kazuki winked at her secretly, causing a smile to flash in her eyes.

He lowered his head and stroked his hair as if nothing had happened, and continued to ponder the composition in his hand.

His fingers played playfully on the paper, as if he had found something interesting, with a hint of joy.

"Hearing everyone say that, I'm already full of confidence." Kazuki Akiyama stretched his arms, and he was also looking forward to his first album for a long time.

"I can't wait to try arranging music." Masao Akashi tapped his palm with a pen, as if he was already looking for a suitable melody for arranging.

Ye Shanwu also nodded approvingly. When encountering a good song, it is inevitable that he will feel a little anxious.

"Then I will trouble Akashi-sensei and Hayama-san at that time."

"no problem."

The arrangement of an album can be in charge of one person, or it can be in charge of several different people, and there is no mature habit of agreement.

Kazuki Akiyama asked them some questions about album production, including arrangement, structure, and even the ordering of songs.

After knowing the selection of his first album, he also immediately found Nagato Taiyuki.

Nagato Taiyuki borrowed the manuscript paper handed over by Kazuki Akiyama, and read it very carefully.

As the producer of Kazuki Akiyama's album, it is natural to obtain his consent first for the selection of songs.

After watching the newly added singles, Taiyuki Nagato admired Kazuki Akiyama's creative talent more and more, and was also grateful for the decision to sign him.

Except for the song "Until the End of the World", which he has been thinking about all the time, the other singles are all completely new songs.

It was the first time he took it out, and he hadn't seen it before.

In less than a year, including the previous B-side songs, there are already nearly twenty songs.

Coupled with the previous performance, it is enough to be praised as a genius.

"The song is fine, it's just...it's just a bit too wasteful." Nagato Taiko watched it for a long time, and it was only this that made him a little concerned.
