I interpret life in Tokyo

The relationship between the members of the group is the most important thing.

Taking a break from her busy schedule, Kaede Sakakibara skipped club activities in the afternoon, the modeling outsourcing at RECT stayed up late last night and finished rendering, and the five Nakano sisters have no class today.

He just needs to go back in the afternoon and attend classes for Higuchi and Asakura.

"Good afternoon, Sakakibara-san, please wait here for a while."

Nanakusa Hazuki is working in front of the computer, Kaede Sakakibara can see her faint dark circles under the light makeup, giving people a soft feeling.

On this point, don't directly kill Iida Gui who looks like a night owl.

"Yo--"

Someone patted on the shoulder, and the boy turned his head away from the phone, seeing Miura Yuma, whom he hadn't seen for a while, smiling and beckoning to him.

Seeing Miura Yuuma's slightly unshaven beard, he raised his eyebrows, "Have you been playing decadent lately?"

"You have seen all this?" Miura Yuma was taken aback, "This is the type of man we like the most among the girls in our Music University."

"No... I think what I like is the feeling of an adult uncle who has gone through all the vicissitudes of life." Sakakibara Kaede complained.

Miura Yuma sighed, and shook his head sadly, "I was urged to find a partner when I got home, but I want to ask Taki-senpai I met during my internship..."

Afterwards, Sakakihara Kaede pretended not to hear the broken thoughts.

"I don't know who the other person is?"

"I made a request last time. At present, the instruments of the two of us, plus a bass, should be complete."

"To be honest, I have never seen a musician who plays bass in the music area."

Miura Yuma scratched the back of his head and said that most of the musicians in the music area record their own music, and there are not a few who are striving to enter the orchestra to play in the future, and most of them are string instruments.

As for bass. . .Bass cannot be played solo, even if it is played alone, it is just a heavy bass, and it cannot be commercialized at all without joining the band.

Nanicao Yeyue pursed her lips with a smile when she heard this sentence, she was determined to keep the secret, or the surprise to a minimum, after receiving the news, she stood up, "Sa, the person has arrived, we Go to the rehearsal room."

Kaede Sakakibara and Yuuma Miura looked at each other before getting up and walking.

Walking through the aisle, there are soundproof panels on both sides, as if the sound of footsteps has been sucked in.

Nanakusa Hazuki whispered a few words to another female manager standing in front of the rehearsal room, then turned her head and smiled.

"She's in there."

"she?"

Miura Yuma subconsciously said in surprise, Sakakibara Kaede had already opened the door.

A familiar girl turned her back to the door, looking at the musical instruments all over the wall.

Miura Yuma stared dumbfounded at the girl's red hair, and even Sakakibara Kaede opened her eyes slightly.

"What... what's wrong? Your eyes are very rude."

Nishikino Maki felt the burning gaze of the two, her face was slightly red, she turned her head and frowned.

There was a brief moment of silence in the rehearsal room, and when few people knew what to say at the beginning, Kaede Sakakibara took the lead and said: "It's nice to see you again, Nishikino-san, we may need to get to know each other again, my name is Kaede Sakakibara. "

After all, he stretched out his hand.

Nishikino Maki and Sakakibara Kaede shook hands, "Nishikino Maki."

Miura Yuma introduced himself in a decent manner, and several people made a few social remarks, Sakakibara Kaede sighed, "I didn't expect Nishikino-san to be recommended by Mr. Tianjing. To be honest, I was surprised and also a little happy .”

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Because Nishikino-san's voice is very nice, and he is naturally suitable for singing." Sakakibara Kaede commented, what he said was the truth, and there was nothing hidden in what he said, which made him sound very credible, "like this As the bass player, Nishikino-san became a combination with us, and I even think this is unfair to Nishikino-san."

Hearing the sincere praise, Maki Nishikino looked away a little awkwardly.

"What does Nishikino-san want here?"

Kaede Sakakibara asked, he glanced at Yuma Miura who was sitting beside him with a slight smile, "Miura-san, what do you want to get in this band, this group?"

Miura Yuma rested his chin, thought about this question for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you need to answer this, because I love music, and my dream is to be part of the concert and experience the comfort of being embraced by music."

Sakakihara Kaede looked at Nishikino Maki, she looked straight into the boy's eyes, "Because I like music, there is no other reason."

"Singing is only part of music, and now I can continue my journey as a pure musician."

"What about you?"

The question that was raised finally came back to the boy. Without hesitation, he said directly: "I want to use my songs to change the trajectory of other people's lives."

"Some of the content of the lyrics is to let them know that the goal is ahead, and they just need to work harder. Some of the content is about young love, if you like it, you have to say it out loud. Some of the content is about dreams, tell them Dreams are precious and must be cherished.”

"Use songs to influence and drive other people's lives. This is the reason why I want to sing."

Miura Yuma admired, this reason sounds too dazzling.

The person sitting here seems to be the young man who confessed his love under the starry sky and vowed to shine brighter than anyone else.

At this moment, Sakakibara Kaede showed a smile just like Hiroshi.

Is it Kaede Sakakihara who enriched Hiroshi Kitahara's character design, or Hiroshi Kitahara who brought out Kaede Sakakihara's acting skills?Half a year has passed since the TV series. Although there are many ratings and comments on this TV series on the website, everyone is full of praise for Kaede Sakakibara who has just debuted.

"it is good."

Maki Nishikino nodded slightly, and she took down a bass hanging from the wall, caressing with her fingers, a deep and heavy sound suddenly sounded.

"I like your goals very much. I have no problem forming a band."

What Maki Nishikino recalled in her mind at this time was the happy figure standing outside the door when she just entered the school three years ago, when she played the piano and sang in the school's piano room.

At the beginning, she didn't know how to answer the enthusiastic senior sisters at all, and she was wary of idols, so she didn't make the decision to join from the beginning.

Three years have passed, and the seniors have also embarked on their own paths. Although the connection is still not broken, this year, the last class of Muse, the original high school students are about to graduate.

This marks the complete disbanding of Muse - although their public activities have now ceased, the nine will still record songs together in private.

This time, Maki Nishikino, she wanted to say it from the very beginning.

Miura Yuma whistled and smiled at Kaede Sakakibara, the band was officially established.

The three of them walked to the door together, nodded to the two female managers, and informed them of the establishment of the band. After that, the three of them temporarily left the rehearsal room and came to the office floor, where the three of them were going to renew their contracts.

This is completely different from the singer contract that Kaede Sakakibara signed last time. The contract in front of the three of them is exactly the same.

Nanakusa Hazuki explained the minutiae, and the most urgent task at the moment is to choose a band name.

It is not difficult to say the name of the band, but it is still a bit difficult to choose a catchy name.

"Well..."

Stuck at the key point of naming.

Maki Nishikino said flatly, "The simpler the name of the band, the better, and it's better if it's impressive."

"Well, like Muses, it is the general name of the nine ancient goddesses of art and science in Greek mythology. To be honest, I think this name is already the best." Kaede Sakakibara followed, this name is indeed There is a taste of absolutes, there is no better, and there is no worse, truth is perfect.

"Uh, how about using English?" Miura Yuma suggested, "For some reason, the word shining always flashes in my mind, should I use illuminate?"

"Sekailluminate?"

Kaede Sakakihara scratched his head. To be honest, he initially wanted to use the names of several bands he had an impression of in the past, but he didn't want to let himself ruin this signboard.The future is still unknown, and the band does not know how far it can go. Instead of taking the same name to pay tribute to the past, it might as well take its own steps forward.

"The world shines...does it?"

"How do you feel that it's okay to use Japanese and English, but writing in all Chinese characters is a bit like a novel in the second class." Miura Yuma laughed and complained.

"I think it's not bad... If you want to abbreviate it, you can use SI directly."

Nanakusa Hazuki gave her most honest evaluation, she smiled and said, "Well, to give you the simplest example, Noctchill, the combination of Asakura-san and Higuchi-san, is a combination of two English letters. , Relax) + Noctiluca (Noctiluca) = Noctchill."

"So, a name that wants to make the singing voice shine in the world as a slogan is also very good."

Thank you, Miss Nanakusa.

Sakakibara Kaede thanked him in his heart, he himself was a little embarrassed by the name he came up with just now, but after Nanakusa Hazuki explained it like this, he felt, eh, it’s really not poking.

"I agree with Nanakusa-san's suggestion." Nishikino Maki had no objection, she nodded, obviously thinking that Nanakusa Hazuki made sense.

The three wrote down their group name on the paper, and Sakakihara Kaede suddenly felt a sense of mission as he looked at the dog-like font.

Well, it's time to practice the word art of the band name.

Although the words on the notes are like dogs crawling, Kaede Sakakihara has practiced his own signature so that he will not sign out the cursive font when he is surrounded by fans. . .Now I need to practice one more word, which is also the name of the band.

After signing the contract, Maki Nishikino turned to Kaede Sakakibara and asked a key question.

"What song does Sakakibara-san want to sing? Do you have a clue? Do you have the lyrics?"

"I have lyrics and part of the arrangement. We need to continue to create on top of that." Kaede Sakakibara stretched out his hands in a comforting gesture, signaling Nishikino Maki to take it easy, "Actually, I think we should get to know each other first. For a while, for example, play one or two songs that you all know."

"I agree that rehearsing ahead of time saves us a lot of unnecessary mistakes when recording music."

Nishikino Maki nodded, she thought what Sakakihara Kaede said made sense.

Yes, in the past, the muse also walked step by step in this way. At the beginning, everyone was not familiar with each other, but in the rehearsals and exercises, the connection and bond between people gradually deepened.

Nishikino Maki patted her cheek, feeling like doing it again.

She doesn't need to sing or dance this time, she just needs to play the music and the bass perfectly.

Kaede Sakakibara wants to sing a lot of songs, but he also knows that he can’t record an album right after he founded the band. First of all, he still has to rehearse and find a feeling for each other. Regardless of recording music, Miura Yuma’s dream in the future will not be fulfilled.

A band that doesn't cooperate well will not be able to hold a concert.

"Well... your official activity time is tentative, let's practice first." Nanakusa Hazuki said gently, "I have booked the use of the rehearsal room for you every day, if you need any resources, just tell me, I will Feedback to Mr. Tianjing, and I will give you an answer in a short time."

"I want to use the electric guitar in the office, do I need to approve any loan procedures?" Kaede Sakakibara raised his hand and asked.

Nanakusa Hazuki shook her head and said with a smile: "As the contracted person of the music area, you can freely use all the musical instruments in the office, and you can take them home."

The three got up, taking advantage of everyone's time now, it was a good time to chat and get familiar with the music.

Sekaillumate, the world shines, or shines in this world.

Chapter No.17 Singer and Idol

There are many problems before us, which need to be solved one by one.

The registration of the band needs to go through a process. Although the three signed the contract, it will take a while to apply for a trademark and appear as an official group.

This matter is arranged by the STARS agency, so there is nothing to worry about.

The focus is on the running-in of the three.

There is also the question of notation.

Sakakihara Kaede mostly only cared about the tone of the lyrics when singing before, but now he needs to roll through the past music in his mind, and use his own memory to extract the notes from the instrument one by one.

In addition to the tone, there are drums.

One can imagine what a huge workload this is.

After the song was sung, Kaede Sakakibara wiped the sweat from his head. Just now they sang a popular love song, the theme song of the TV series Tokyo Love Story "Sudden Love". Since the score can be found directly on the Internet, the three of them After familiarizing themselves with the sheet music for 10 minutes, they began to simulate the rehearsal.

"The sound of the drum kit is too soft, and it is drowned out by the guitar."

Maki Nishikino said, holding her chin, that at this moment, everyone is free to express their opinions, "The sound of my bass is a bit dull. If I want to record a song or perform on stage, I need to change it."

Miura Yuma didn't think that Maki Nishikino despised her because she was younger than him, and he nodded in agreement. During the first two rehearsals, he and Kaede Sakakibara had been controlling the primary and secondary.

Compared with the competition of a hundred flowers in the orchestra and string band, compared to who can sit in the first position of the violin, Miura Yuma and Sakakibara Kaede gave in to each other, and their voices became smaller and smaller each time, but in the end they still did not reach that balance.

This takes time to practice.

"Do I have a question, Nishikino-san?" Sakakihara Kaede put down the guitar, took the warm water from the side, poured it into his mouth for a while, and then swallowed.

It is not advisable to drink too much water during singing. Drinking too much water ①〇①⑦④⑤⑨④⑨⑧ will wash away the lubricating mucus in the throat, resulting in a jerky voice afterwards. . .This is what he learned when he heard Madoka Higuchi communicate with Ms. Sato.

This is also the reason why Madoka Higuchi only drank warm water while working.

He asked Maki Nishikino this question because he knew that Maki Nishikino had more singing experience. She had sung for three years and still sang and danced.

Speaking of singing, he really had to ask Maki Nishikino for advice.

"Has Sakakibara-san sung before?"

"I have practiced singing, but I haven't officially appeared on stage."
