Chapter 42 Have you been to Qiu Ming Mountain?
It has been more than ten days since the matter of Sakai Spring, because she has not shown up or responded, and the turbulent public opinion from the outside world has gradually subsided.

There is never a shortage of news in the entertainment industry. Every day there are all kinds of news flying all over the sky. People are always forgetful, and they will soon forget the hot spots they once pursued.

It has been more than a month since Kazuki Akiyama released his first single, and now he can start preparing for his next single.

Came to Taiko Nagato's office, knocked on the door, waited for a response, opened the door and walked into the office.

"President of Nagato"

"Oh, why did Akiyama-kun come here today?" Nagato Taiyuki looked a little tired, thinking that he was also very busy these days, but he still asked with a smile when he saw Kazuki Akiyama.

Kazuki Akiyama bowed, and said, "President Nagato, I want to start preparing for the next single."

"Oh? Akiyama-kun started preparing for the next single so soon, has the song been finalized?" Nagato Taiyuki was a little surprised that Kazuki Akiyama started preparing for the next single so early.

Originally, he thought that he might have to wait for a while. After all, as a singer-songwriter, the inspiration for lyrics and music does not come just by saying.

Akiyama Kazuki handed Nagato Taiko the two lyric songs that had already been prepared.

The main song was "Encounter". As for C/W, Kazuki Akiyama did not choose to sing a cover this time, but chose an original song "Good Evening Moon".

This song "Good Evening Moon" was actually a female voice song when it first appeared in Kazuki Akiyama's mind.

But he himself tried singing in the recording studio in private, and the effect was not bad. In Akashi Masao's words, "Akiyama-kun's voice is unexpectedly gentle when singing slow-paced J-pop."

That's just right, the main title and C/W are both J-pop styles with a relatively slow rhythm, and they are fairly unified, and it doesn't look abrupt when they are placed on the same CD.

"Oda-san and Ms. Sakai also gave a lot of opinions on these two songs, and finally decided on these two songs."

Seeing Taiko Nagato frowned, Kazuki Akiyama hurriedly explained.

In fact, it's not that Nagato Daxing didn't like these two songs. On the contrary, after seeing these two songs, he felt that Kazuki Akiyama was a genius.

Compared with the first single, it is another completely different style of music, which has fully demonstrated that Kazuki Akiyama is not only good at a certain style of music.

A singer who is good at creating in different styles, and currently seems to be quite productive, maybe at the peak of his creation, so it seems that signing Kazuki Akiyama was definitely a treasure.

The reason why he frowns is because it is almost difficult to label him as "Being style" in the future according to Kazuki Akiyama's current changeable style.

Kazuki Akiyama has only signed a record contract with Being for only three years. How far will he grow in three years?Will he continue to sign with Being after that?
This is what Nagato Taiyuki is worried about. It seems that in the future, he has to think carefully about how to tie him to Being more deeply and thoroughly. In the end, it is nothing more than profit.

Of course, it’s still early to say this, and it depends on how far we can go in the future. If it soars to the sky, then it’s easy to discuss, but if it’s the peak when it debuts, then it’s better to be honest and wait.

Thinking of this, Nagato Taiko let go of his brows, and heard Akiyama Kazuki mentioning Sakai spring again, and couldn't help but feel a headache for the recent incident.

"Akiyama-kun is indeed a genius. Even if these two songs are the main songs, they are more than enough, not to mention Oda-san and Izumi-chan."

Nagato Taiyuki praised Kazuki Akiyama's selection with a charming smile, as if it wasn't him who frowned just now.

"Let Akashi-san be in charge of the arrangement. Izumi-chan's work just happened to be vacant recently, and he sometimes takes over."

Kazuki Akiyama stood up and thanked him, "Thank you so much, President Nagato. Naturally, Mr. Akashi will have no problem arranging the music."

The two went on to discuss the release time of the next single. Before leaving, Kazuki Akiyama couldn't help asking again,
"President Nagato, Ms. Sakai's side"

Nagato Taiyuki replied very confidently, "Don't worry, the matter is basically over, but considering her emotions for the time being, I plan to give her a long vacation, and put aside work matters first."

Kazuki Akiyama nodded, saying that Taiyuki Nagato had indeed taken good care of Izumi Sakai, and did not force the artist to start the work immediately.

In other firms, maybe at most they will hold a press conference and bow and apologize, and then do what they should do.As for the long vacation, I think too much, which artist is not involved in scandals, and they all have a long vacation. Does the office drink the northwest wind?

Saying goodbye to Nagato Taiko, Akiyama Kazuki was not in a hurry to immediately devote himself to the production of the next single. He also made an appointment with Ishida Takumi today and had other things to do.

As for Taiko Nagato, don't look at the ease he said to Kazuki Akiyama just now, in fact, he has been too busy recently.

Not to mention the back-and-forth due to the Burning incident, Izumi Sakai's first band concert, Hold Me -ZARD 1st live, which was planned to be held this month, had to be called off.

The holding of the concert, venue rental, and sponsorship, all these preparations have basically been implemented. Now that it is called off, the expenses that should have been spent can no longer be recovered, and the sponsors must be paid liquidated damages.

All these things piled up and made Nagato feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, Burning’s problems have basically been resolved, and Being is not alone, and there is also the support of chaebols. Otherwise, Being will no longer be his long-term household after being annexed by Burning. Fortunately, it has the final say.

Ishida Takumi drove the black Toyota Crown to the headquarters of Being company on time, picked up Kazuki Akiyama, and went straight to the real estate agency.

That's right, what Kazuki Akiyama has to do today is to change his residence.

Kazuki Akiyama sat in the co-pilot and watched Ishida Takumi drive forward with a focused expression.

"Has Takumi-kun been to Mount Akina?" Kazuki Akiyama suddenly asked with some evil taste.

"Hey, is Kazuki-kun talking about Mt. Akina in Gunma Prefecture? I went there when I was on vacation in high school. Except for Lake Haruna, there is nothing worth seeing."

Ishida Takumi was a little curious about why Akiyama Kazuki suddenly asked about Akinayama, thinking he wanted to travel there.

"Tsk~, it's a pity, I must drive to see it if I have a chance in the future." Kazuki Akiyama smacked his lips with some regret. The legendary Akinayama Rider has not yet come out.

"I always feel like you're talking about it." Ishida Takumi glanced at Kazuki Akiyama and complained in a low voice.

Akiyama Kazuki smiled and did not answer, but signaled Ishida Takumi to concentrate on driving. Both of them are rookies on the road, not Akina Yamamoto who can drift.

After a while, they came to a real estate agency that they had made an appointment with before, and the staff welcomed them warmly.

　Thank you for your recommendation and support!
