Chapter 37

Kazuki Akiyama walked into the recording studio to adjust his state. He was going to audition for the two songs "Until the End of the World" first. This song has a typical heavy metal rock rhythm and has higher requirements for state than the other song.

Although it is heavy metal rock, the lyrics are not straightforward and directly enter the passionate words.

On the contrary, if you read each line of the lyrics carefully, the first two lines describe the intuitive impression of the young people’s feeling of being abandoned in the big city, followed by the views on love, the memories of the happy past, and the lonely and unresolved mood.

Full of doubts and puzzles about the society, why do people only pay attention to the superficial things, and no one cares about the beautiful things?

Entering the society, you have toss and roll, and gradually get along with others, and it is difficult for the stars to illuminate yourself.Faced with the sad reality, but also to give myself the courage to continue, and even have the feeling that living is so tiring.

It can be said that the whole lyrics are full of a lot of decadence, but coupled with the passionate rhythm, there is always a kind of gushing power accumulated in the heart, the desire to break through all the shackles of this world, the fearless heart that makes people go forward , maybe this is the reason to awaken the blood and fearlessness deep in my heart.

With his own understanding of the song, Kazuki Akiyama sang the whole song with a slightly high-pitched voice. This song requires some treble.

To be honest, he has never tasted such a high range before. Fortunately, he has been insisting on taking vocal training classes, and singing now is not too much of a burden.

If I still follow my own wild way before, maybe after more than ten years of singing like this, I will never be in this state again.

Adjusted the state a little bit, and took a short rest.Oda Tetsuro's voice came from the earphones, "Does Akiyama-kun need to take a break?"

Kazuki Akiyama was still in good condition, so he said into the microphone, "No, the following song doesn't have too much burden on the voice."

Compared with the heavy metal rock song "Until the End of the World", the song "Encounter" is a J-POP with a slower rhythm.

This song appeared after I saw her for the first time, and that figure always lingers in my heart, always appearing inadvertently.The understanding of her in the previous life was only on the Internet, and seeing her in real life for the first time was always special.

The girl with a ponytail and taiyaki on the other side of the street came into his sight inadvertently, and never left, so there was this song "Encounter".

Although this song is also popular in the city, the rhythm is much more relaxed, expressing the desire for love and yearning for beauty.

Kazuki Akiyama adjusted his voice, and spoke in a low voice, his voice was lingering and affectionate, and the humming in the middle was like whispering in his ears.The lingering tenderness always lingers around.

After the audition, Kazuki put down the melancholy in his heart, took off his earphones, opened the door of the recording studio and stepped outside.I would like to discuss with Oda Tetsuro and sound engineer Fummasa Kitahara some issues during the audition.

As soon as I stepped into the outer room, I saw an extra person on the workbench, wearing a monitor earphone at the moment, looking at him with a smile—Sakai Quanshui.

"Akiyama-kun's singing voice is really nice, and the lyrics are also well written." Before Kazuki Akiyama could speak, Izumi Sakai praised him first.

"Hey, which song did Izumi-chan listen to?" Although he was surprised by the appearance of Izumi Sakai, Kazuki Akiyama also wanted to hear her opinion.

Izumi Sakai raised two slender fingers and waved them, "There are two capitals."

"Quan Shui Jiang came in quietly not long after you entered the recording studio, and signaled us not to make any noise."

Oda Tetsuri and the sound engineer Kitahara Fummasa were not surprised by the arrival of Sakai Izumi, because Sakai Izumi used to sneak in and eavesdrop when Daikoku Maji was recording.

Hearing Oda Tetsuro expose his behavior, Izumi Sakai stuck out his tongue quietly.

Seeing her playful appearance, Akiyama Kazuki felt a little amused, but still did not forget the business.

"Since you've heard the two capitals, what do you think of Quan Shuijiang?"

Izumi Sakai rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, "The styles of the two songs are quite different. If I hadn't heard Qiu Shanjun singing in person, it would be hard to imagine that they were written by the same person."

"That's why I can't make up my mind." Akiyama Kazuki joked.

Izumi Sakai thought for a while and said curiously, "How could Akiyama-kun write songs with such different styles, but they all sound very nice."

Seeing that Oda Tetsuro and sound engineer Kitahara Fummasa were also curious, Akiyama Kazuki simply explained to them,

"Before I debuted, I formed my own band when I just graduated from school. At that time, everyone had a dream and hoped that one day they would be able to make their debut and release their own album. But the reality is always cruel. We hit walls everywhere and have no jobs. Even livelihood is becoming a problem.

Due to reality and various problems encountered, some band members had to leave Tokyo and return to their hometowns in the countryside. In the end, the band disbanded and their dreams disappeared.

But there is always no shortage of optimistic and positive people in life. They have also been in difficulties, but they have not compromised on this, and let everything they encounter be open-minded.

Compared with those who had to leave Tokyo with their dreams in mind, I am much luckier. At least I am still here and can continue my pursuit.

Although I occasionally feel that life is really tiring, but life is always worth looking forward to, there will be a lot of troubles, and there will be a lot of fun, so I have this song "Until the End of the World". "

After listening to Kazuki Akiyama's explanation, Tetsuro Oda recognized him more. Before, he just thought Kazuki Akiyama was a very talented young man with a calm personality.

But after listening to his original intention of writing this song today, I feel that Kazuki Akiyama has more life precipitation and resilience. This is the wisdom brought by life experience, which young people of the same age do not have. It is very rare.Record engineer Kitahara Wenzheng also showed admiration.

Izumi Sakai smiled and said, "I didn't expect the gentle Akiyama-kun to have a passionate side."

Akiyama Kazuki put on a serious face, "I also have a heart of middle school."

"Haha, Akiyama-kun is also very humorous." Fummasa Kitahara, the recording studio, couldn't help laughing, and Tetsuro Oda and Izumi Sakai also smiled.

"What about the other song?" Izumi Sakai couldn't help asking about another song.

"The song "Encounter"?" Kazuki Akiyama glanced at Izumi Sakai, smiled, and continued,
"It was once after I went to a Live House interview, I met a girl on the street. The first time I saw her, I always felt that I should have seen her before. Otherwise, how could the melody of this song be so good? comes to mind naturally."

"Hey, Si Guoyi, did Akiyama-kun strike up a conversation with her?" Kitahara Wenzheng couldn't help gossiping, and Oda Tetsuro also showed curiosity.

"No." Kazuki Akiyama paused, glanced at the spring of Sakai, and explained to himself, "Because I always feel that our fate will not stop here."

Izumi Sakai looked at Kazuki Akiyama and frowned cutely, and there was a trace of inquiry in his eyes, probably because he was not sure and didn't say much.
