Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

My study room.

The man who had always remained calm and calm was actually blushing with embarrassment, leaning on the table with his elbows, covering half of his face.

"That guy...really talks about everything..."

The head of the Kotobuki family muttered to himself.

"That guy Gotou...he already has a child and yet he's still so immoral."

Although he was clearly saying that others were not serious, he was still grabbing his hair, trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl in out of embarrassment.

"How could you possibly let your own children listen to that kind of embarrassing middle school stuff? Why don't you just let me die!"

Those memories of my youth that I would have only felt emotional when I recalled them became extremely embarrassing when my son mentioned them.

Although it is indeed a nostalgic memory, in a sense, it can also be regarded as his dark history.

At least...

This is a dark history that must never be brought out in front of your own children.

Chapter 2 animation song?

The weekend came in a blink of an eye.

In front of the familiar mansion, the girls who finished the band gathered together.

The cloudy days that had been cloudy for the past few days have finally cleared up, and I can gradually feel the warmth in the season that is starting to get colder.

"Kotobuki-kun, we're here."

Itachi Hongxia called Kotobuki Mitsuru, and after the call was dialed, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and spoke.

"Oh, everyone, wait a moment."

After Kotobuki Hikaru hung up the phone, he immediately put down the black tea in his hand.

In the living room of the mansion, the man sitting opposite Kotobuki Hikaru put down the Marlboro in his fingers and extinguished it in the ashtray.

"The members of our band have arrived, please wait here for a moment."

"Well, don't worry, I also want to drink more high-quality black tea."

Kanichi Maezawa has swept away his previous image of a cynical, casual and frivolous uncle. Perhaps his career future, which had been gradually extinguished, has regained its second spring, and his mental state has improved a lot.

The scattered hair has been taken care of, and even the beard has been trimmed, making him look a bit like a professional music producer.

Ah...even though he was originally a professional music producer.

"I've been causing a lot of trouble to you recently."

After saying that, Kotobuki Hikaru, who was wearing home clothes, left the living room.

The girls have been waiting in front of the door for a long time.

Seeing Kotobuki Hikari emerging from the mansion and coming to the courtyard, Ijichi Hongka waved her hand there impatiently.

"Good morning! Kotobuki-kun!"

"Good morning, Kotobuki-san."

The introverted Ryo and Goto Kazuri just waved and did not say hello.

"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

"Nothing, nothing."

The five members of the band entered the courtyard and walked towards the mansion under the leadership of Kotobuki Mitsuru.

"Then we're going to start recording the song right away?"

Yijizhi Hongxia asked.

In the days after the meeting, several members of the band also practiced a lot at home. Now that it is finally time to officially enter the battlefield, the girls are basically eager to give it a try.

"Well... we'll start recording today, but before that, I still want everyone to meet someone."

click...

Kotobuki Hikaru opened the door.

"Who?"

As soon as Yijizhi Hongxia finished speaking, she saw a strange man in the living room.

An uncle-like man in a windbreaker was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was wearing a suit common to office workers and had a cigarette in his mouth, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Long time no see, everyone in the band."

The man stood up politely and walked towards the girls.

The strange man's aura made even Ijichi Hongxia take half a step back.

"Who is this..."

Kotobuki Hikaru suddenly remembered that no one seemed to know this uncle.

"Let me introduce, um...this is Mr. Maezawa. He is a relatively independent music producer in the industry. The recording of the album will be more troublesome for him."

"Ooh..."

The girls nodded indifferently.

"This is our first meeting... Mr. Maezawa, please give me some advice on the recording."

As the band leader, Ichichi Hongka stepped out bravely and shook hands with Hiroyuki Maezawa.

"Really... What a first meeting? We've met before, right?" Maezawa put aside his business-like seriousness and returned to the posture of a strange uncle.

"Ah? Really? Have we met before?"

"I was there when you performed for the first time. I can be considered one of your first fans...how do you say? A die-hard fan? We met at the izakaya later on."

"Ah——! Now that I think about it, you are that weird uncle!"

Despite the other party's explanation, Ichichi Hongxia recalled the scene of that day.

After all, it is a very important day, and no matter how hard the memory is, we will never forget it easily.

"Uncle blame...?"

"Don't worry about these details."

Kotobuki Hikaru interrupted the conversation between the two.

Music producer...what is this?

Goto Ichiri and Kita looked at each other, with only clear doubts in their eyes.

"Anyway, let's talk to Mr. Maezawa first. If we don't get to know each other first, it will be troublesome to start recording directly."

The girls were sitting in a row on the sofa in the living room.

Kotobuki Hikari and Maezawa sat on the single sofas on either side.

If there is a stranger around, I even feel uneasy, and the person is also the music producer of my own band.

Having said that... we didn't hire a producer at all, and it was Kotobuki-kun who did it... It seems like the two of them are very familiar with each other.

Itachi Hongxia's eyes were on Kotobuki Hikaru, and she was thinking silently in her heart.

"I really didn't expect that uncle to be a music producer..." Ichichi Hongxia sighed.

"What does a music producer do..." Kita, who had little knowledge in this area, asked in a low voice.

"Music producers, also known as record producers, are professionals responsible for recording, mixing, and post-production of albums," Ryo Yamada explained.

"Isn't that the kind of existence that only professional bands can afford to hire?!"

"Hmm... To be honest, I'm surprised too."

Although he said this, there was not much surprise on Ryo's face.

"I am over-flattered."

Being praised by such a new band, even Maezawa himself felt a little elated.

"But...is this weird uncle really reliable?"

Yamada Ryo didn't hide his voice, pointed at Maezawa and asked Kotobuki Hikaru.

"Stop calling me weird uncle! Am I so unreliable?"

"..."

The girls were silent for a while.

Maezawa carefully reviewed the situation.

Then......

The four nodded in unison.

"After all... we are just a new band. We shouldn't have a professional producer to help us." Ryo Yamada gave his own reason.

"Uh--!" Maezawa was immediately speechless. "Don't underestimate me... I have been a producer for many established bands since I started working."

"Really?" However, Yamada Ryo still pressed forward step by step, without giving in at all. Instead, he looked at him more doubtfully.

"Okay, Ryo, don't be joking... Although you can't tell from the surface, Mr. Maezawa is still relatively reliable." Kotobuki Hikari smoothed things over.

"No...that's right!" Someone spoke for him, and Maezawa felt more confident. "For example, I have been in charge of the famous Haiyun band...and the Biological Stocking Band...and other bands."

"Oh...it's the band that plays Treasure Island and the band that plays anime songs, right...I didn't expect Mr. Maezawa to be such a great producer?"

Yijizhi Hongxia's eyes lit up. After hearing the other party's amazing resume, he changed his doubtful attitude and clapped his hands in praise.

"Eh?! So Mr. Maezawa is such a powerful person!"

Even Goto Kazuri looked surprised.

No matter how you say it, this is too exaggerated...

Even a little shocked.

The bands he mentioned were all extremely popular. I didn't expect that such a producer would actually produce an album for a new band like The End Band.

Seeing Ichiri's shocked look and the man raising his head arrogantly, Kotobuki Hikaru felt a little unhappy...

"We are just a fledgling student band... Mr. Maezawa will actually become our producer..."

Itachi Hongxia pinched her cheek to confirm that this was not a dream.

As a new band in the industry, they may not even be considered industry insiders because they haven't released their own album yet. Everyone in the band knows relatively little about music producers.

After all, they are behind the scenes, and as they are still high school students, they know more about the performers themselves.

"In other words...does Mr. Maezawa really need to be involved in producing an album for a small band like ours..."

Even the members of the band had no idea of ​​hiring a producer from the beginning...

"If it's just an ordinary self-guided band, and self-produced records are sold at the concert, it doesn't matter if you rent a recording studio to make them... But the band's first album has already accumulated a lot of fans, and it's not just self-made and self-sold. Such a scale would not be possible without hiring producers from record companies.”

"Eh... I feel... the pressure on my body has suddenly increased..."

The hair on Yijizhi Hongxia's head drooped, and she even looked a little demoralized due to the pressure.

"Don't worry. With the help of the producer, the pressure should be reduced." Kotobuki Hikaru encouraged him.

"I always feel that a great producer like Mr. Maezawa is overqualified for us to produce albums or something like that."

Being told this, Maezawa did not show any arrogance, but the expression on his face became a little serious.

"Don't belittle yourselves. What I just said is that I am your first fan. This is not just flattery. Although you are just a fledgling band, the quality of most of your songs is definitely not inferior to those of popular bands. To be honest, I have been looking forward to being the producer of your first album."

The smile on his face didn't seem to be fake, it should come from the bottom of his heart.

"Then, Mr. Maezawa, please give me more advice in the future!"

Itachi Hongxia stood up from the sofa, bowed and said.

The golden side ponytail hangs down at ninety degrees.

This is an opportunity that cannot be missed to end the band... no matter what, we must seize it with all our strength.

"Please advise!"
