Chapter 291

In the early morning of the next day, Kazuki Akiyama drove the business car of the office and stopped in front of the new building of AKKA in Shibuya District on time at nine o'clock.

Wearing a peaked cap, he rolled down the car window and looked at the three Matsueda Kako standing by the roadside, "Are you all ready?"

The three of "Hay" nodded.

Kazuki Akiyama smiled and shook his head, "Get in the car."

So the front of the car flicked, and the group turned to the direction of the port area without stopping.

However, after a 10-minute drive, they did not really enter the port area. They stopped the car near a commercial street.

Matsueda Kako and the others got out of the car and looked around. It was near Spain Zaka in Shibuya District.

"Let's go." Akiyama Kazuki lowered the brim of his hat and led them into the first floor of the PARCO department store.

Although there were people coming and going here, he was able to travel easily with a little cover, and no one recognized him for a while.

Just a few steps around a few corridors, came to a white shop.It is not appropriate to say the storefront, but it is more appropriate to say the studio.

The flow of people here has dropped significantly, and almost no one passes by.

Matsueda Kako and the three of them looked up at the line of silver English letters above 'TOKYO FM STUDIO', and then turned to look at the department store behind them.

That's right, this is a recording studio, but the recording studio is built in a department store, or on the floor with the most traffic...

Matsueda Kako and the others could not connect the two with their own shallow experience.

"Akagi-san, thank you for taking care of me."

"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Qiushan, I must have notified you of the rules of use."

"Hay"...

While they were still looking around curiously and diverting their thinking, Kazuki Akiyama had already started talking with the person in charge here.

After a few minutes of effort, the two parties had finished their negotiations, and Kazuki Akiyama led them all the way unimpeded, and finally came to a recording studio with a red heart pattern painted on the door.

Kazuki Akiyama pushed open the door familiarly, and turned on the lights inside, "Come in," he turned to greet everyone.

Kako Matsueda, Takachi Eguchi, and Takeshi Watanabe carefully walked through the heavy screen door.

As soon as you enter the room, the most notable change is that the whole world seems to be quiet.

It was completely different from the noise of the department store just now. The transition from extremely dynamic to extremely quiet made them a little uncomfortable, and Mumu's eyes turned to regain their agility.

At this time, they regained their energy and looked at the layout here.

The place is transparent and bright with white lights, and there are mixers, speakers, microphones, monitor headphones, sound card equipment, and musical instruments.

There is also a separate recording studio inside. Through the windows, you can see the internal structural layout designed according to the acoustic requirements, and the walls are covered with sound-absorbing sponges.

There are also microphones, earphones and common musical instruments placed in the middle for easy listening, and the color style is mainly black.

"The rest of the time here will belong to you. Before Echo's own recording studio is built, all work related to recording will be carried out here."

Kazuki Akiyama waited for them to have enough eye addiction before introducing them with a smile.

When the three of "Si Guoyi" heard that this was their workplace, they couldn't bear it any longer, and knocked on the keys casually. Hearing the melodious sound of the piano, the smiles on their faces were filled with happiness from the bottom of their hearts.

Kazuki Akiyama saw that they were having a great time playing, and he didn't make a sound to disturb them. I hope you won't feel bored in the future.

Here is a recording studio he is currently renting temporarily for 'ECHO', which belongs to FM Tokyo.

This is a private radio station that also operates a recording studio.

The recording studio here was just opened in June last year, and all the facilities and equipment are pure first-hand goods.

Apparently, Matsueda Heko and the others had also discovered this, and the expressions on their faces were even more excited.

Although they also know that they are rented temporarily, they still have a sense of belonging of 'the studio that belongs to them'.

"Hey, it's almost ready." Seeing that they were still a little excited, Kazuki Akiyama had no choice but to tap the microphone to remind them.

The sound of "pop" from the speaker startled them, and then they stood in a row in front of Kazuki Akiyama in an orderly manner.

"Don't be so serious." Seeing them all bowing their heads to listen to the training, Kazuki Akiyama laughed instead.

I have to say that in the workplace, the Japanese are definitely masters of PUA.

Kako Matsueda and the others were ready to be PUA on the first day they officially joined the company, which shows how deep-rooted this workplace culture is in Japan.

"The first task today is to select a few songs from everyone's works and record them as demos." Kazuki Akiyama pulled a chair and sat down.

Under his signal, Matsueda Heko and the three of them followed suit, forming a circle.Then they took out the sheet music they had prepared and read it one by one.

Everyone discussed together, and they were so excited that they picked up the instruments around them and played it again.

This kind of atmosphere is simply the most ideal working environment for them who are new to the workplace.

In the end, Kazuki Akiyama made a decision, chose a song in each style, and decided to record it as a demo. This was their first task when they joined ECHO.

Seeing their full of enthusiasm, Akiyama Kazuki became the hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind.

After the demo is completed, Kazuki Akiyama needs to use them to open up the market and bring in the first business for ECHO.

After everything is on the right track, he can also let go slowly and let them toss.

Of course, before that, it is necessary to recruit some musicians and administrative staff for ECHO, all of which are for the creators.

They are the mainstay of a music production company and the source of value.

Speaking of which, Kazuki Akiyama chose the recording studio here, besides being close to his office in Shibuya District, it is convenient to travel.

Another reason is that the price is beautiful.This kind of high-end professional recording studio, if charged by the hour, is about 2000~5000 yen per hour.

He has been in the entertainment industry for so long, so he still has some connections.

I got to know a lot of staff behind the scenes, and the recording studio here was rented at a very 'preferential' price under their matchmaking.

The price is that in the future, Kazuki Akiyama will promote new songs, will appear as a guest on FM Tokyo's radio program, and even set up a radio program named after him.

Resource exchange is a very common operating method in the entertainment industry.On the day when Kazuki Akiyama's office was officially transformed, his identity was no longer a mere entertainer and singer.

Sang is still the president of a club, and he needs to personally consider the company's operations, decision-making, and resource coordination.

Without the big tree of Being, media resources for publicity have to be found by themselves.

Just like bringing Matsueda Kako and the others to the recording studio today, neither Ishida Takumi nor Watanabe Iraka came along.

The reason is that at the moment they are attacking the heads of various TV stations and advertisers, and they have no skills at all.

Music production companies not only need output, but also need sales in order to continue to operate healthily.
