Chapter 99 The lights of Tokyo Tower still shine
Izumi Sakai took off his earphones, opened the curtains of the recording studio, and came to the console outside, "How is it?"

Kazuki Akiyama put down the earphones, "The voice has a clear sense of transparency, and the melody is also very optimistic and positive. Singing from Izumi-chan's mouth is very convincing. At least I was lifted up after listening to it."

"It would be great if it can cheer up Mr. Qiushan." Izumi Sakai took a sip from the cup.

After dealing with the photos, Kazuki Akiyama was about to return to the recording studio, taking advantage of this time to start recording his next single "Sakura".

As a result, I received a call from Izumi Sakai in the afternoon, asking him to come to the recording studio.

So now he is sitting here, auditioning the double A single that Izumi Sakai has basically finished recording.

"And the background accompaniment of this song is also quite interesting." Kazuki Akiyama pointed to the score of "Don't Give Up" on the desktop,

"The guitar processing is very prominent, with obvious distorted sound effects, but it is very hard to avoid being too heavy. If I hadn't played this section myself, I would have suspected that Quan Shuijiang had changed the guitarist."

Kazuki Akiyama heard that in order to find the most correct feeling, she listened to at least dozens of remixed versions before finally deciding on the current version.

"Has Mr. Qiu Shan heard it too?" Izumi Sakai smiled a little happily, as if he was delighted that the gift he secretly prepared was discovered by careful others.

"Not only the guitar alone, but also the snare drum that pushes the rhythm effect to the peak in the intro and chorus, and the dense keyboard that brings out the atmosphere of the song 100%, all of these combine to create an 'active' The performance effect. It's really amazing."

The more Kazuki Akiyama said, the more obvious the smile on Izumi Sakai's face became.Presumably at this moment, she is also happy that the work she has spent a long time on is recognized by others.

"Qiu Shan-kun is also very good. Although he didn't participate in the production of the song, he can hear the intention of the arrangement."

Izumi Sakai was surprised that Kazuki Akiyama could hear her intention of choosing this version from the many remixed versions.

"I'm a professional singer." Kazuki Akiyama got up and went to the sofa to take the black tea she handed over, and sat down beside her.I laughed and joked.

Hearing his ridicule, Sakai Izumi pursed his lips and smiled.

"Hey, what is Izumi-chan?" Kazuki Akiyama pointed to the two staff members who had been silent in the corner. They had been there since the last time they came to her recording studio.

At first, Kazuki Akiyama thought it was to prepare for the music video or single cover for shooting materials.

But looking at the state she has gradually adapted to, this situation has existed for a long time, far exceeding the needs of shooting materials.

"It was a decision after discussing with President Nagato. I plan to stop public activities in the future and want to spend more time on music, and then they have been here." Izumi Sakai glanced quickly and pointed the camera at her camera.

"But there's still one last task to be done." She smiled gently as she spoke.

She regards public events such as appearing on the screen as a task, at least it shows that she doesn't like it in her heart.But she can face it gently. This is the tough side under her gentle appearance.

"Akiyama-kun, do you remember asking me if I regret being a model?" Izumi Sakai turned to look at him.

"Huh?" Akiyama Kazuki didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this.

"It is a fact that I have been a model, but my person in charge has cultivated me very hard. I am very grateful to them and grateful for their help.

It is precisely because of those years that ZARD is now, and I am now.

Even now, I don't regret it back then. "

"So?" Akiyama Kazuki looked at her.

"Don't admit defeat." With clear eyes, gentle but firm words.

"Please look forward to tomorrow." He answered naturally, and the two looked at each other quietly, but they both smiled at each other.

You are so gentle, you didn't talk about the outside world's gossip about you when you called yourself over.

But she brought the topic to herself, wanting to encourage herself in this way, even though she has not completely escaped from the vortex of public opinion.

If you think about it this way, you are really a pair of difficult brothers and sisters.

Thinking of this, Akiyama Kazuki couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at, Mr. Akiyama?" Izumi Sakai wondered why he had such a reaction.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little hungry all of a sudden." Kazuki Akiyama stretched, and secretly checked the time, um, it's past eight o'clock.

Although he didn't understand the connection between being hungry and laughing, Izumi Sakai stood up very considerately and said, "Leave Akiyama-kun's dinner to me, after all, I invited Akiyama-kun to help."

Kazuki Akiyama got up and said energetically, "Then please Izumi-chan."

Amused by his actions, he pursed his lips, "Then what would Mr. Qiu Shan want to eat?"

"The thing I want to eat the most is the tempura made by New Year's mother at home." Kazuki Akiyama rolled his eyes, "Can spring water sauce cook?"

"Hey" Izumi Sakai didn't expect him to ask such a question suddenly, but looking at his expectant eyes, he still replied, "A little bit."

"Then..." Kazuki Akiyama's eyes almost told her directly, invite me quickly.

However, Izumi Sakai seemed to tease him deliberately, looking at him innocently, as if waiting for his next words.

"Actually, other things are not impossible." Seeing her nonchalant appearance, Kazuki Akiyama muttered a little awkwardly.

Seeing his child-like demeanor that he had never shown before, Izumi Sakai couldn't help laughing, and stopped teasing him, "Let's say it first, it doesn't taste good, and I won't return it."

"How come, I'm not a picky eater." Kazuki Akiyama patted his chest and swore.

"Then we're here today?" Kazuki Akiyama pointed to the recording studio again.

Izumi Sakai thought about it for a while and the production of the single has basically been completed, but there is no need to rush the progress of the next one, so he nodded in agreement.

After tidying up, the two came to the parking lot, followed by Assistant Matsui.

"If you don't mind Qiushan-kun, you can take my car." Izumi Sakai invited before boarding the car. She lived not too far from here, so she simply took him with her.

"Of course not, I'll trouble Izumi-chan." Kazuki Akiyama naturally withdrew his steps towards his car, and turned to Izumi Sakai.

"Miss Sakai, I still have something to do at home. It just so happened that the recording ended early today. Can I go back first?" Assistant Matsui who had been following behind suddenly asked Izumi Sakai to confirm whether he could go home early.

"Of course, Yuko, you should go back first, please be careful on the road." Izumi Sakai reassured very gently.

Assistant Matsui bowed to the two, then turned and left.

Before getting into the car, Akiyama Kazuki looked at the still shining lights on Tokyo Tower, and finally let her leave the recording studio before it went out.
