Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

"And Xiao Yili, the lyrics written by Xiao Yili are really like the monologue of an anime heroine, very... beautiful?"

If the music gives a song its body, then the lyrics give it its soul.

The lyrics written by Kazuri Goto can indeed be said to give this song a 'soul'.

At least that's what Kotobuki Hikari thinks.

"In short, the first goal now is to record this song first, so let's try our best, gentlemen."

"I will work hard!"

Kita cheered herself up again.

"I will never let down the song that Kotobuki-kun and Koichiri created!"

......

...

Music Supervisor's Office.

After smoking two cigarettes and listening to the music composed by the band in the recording studio, Sawano's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Music creation is a job that requires inspiration. If you keep tense your nerves, you will not be able to create good works.

Originally, he was a little worried that the band would not be able to compose music that would satisfy him.

As the music supervisor, he is also responsible for the production of this animation.

Even at the beginning, he had prepared a backup plan - if it didn't work, he would find composers he had worked with before and let them do the work for him, or if it couldn't work, he would work overtime and do it himself.

However, after listening to the song composed by the closing band, the worries disappeared.

It was not because the construction deadline was approaching and he had to compromise in order to rush the work that he approved of this song.

But even in his opinion, this is a song that is good enough to be recognized by himself.

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Mr. Sawano, how are you preparing the animation songs?"

A man with a beard came through the door.

"Director?"

Seeing this, Maezawa put down what he was doing.

"The theme song is being recorded in the studio now and should be available soon."

Sawano was a little confused as to why this guy came over at this time.

As the general supervisor, the entire animation, whether it is soundtrack, painting, or dubbing, falls under his supervision.

"Now the animation team's promotional PV is almost halfway done, so I'd like to ask you about the progress here."

"Don't worry, the music will be handed over soon."

"Um......"

After thinking for a moment, the man nodded and sat down opposite Sawano's desk.

"What do you think of ending the band, Mr. Sawano? Is it okay?"

"It's not bad... They are a group of kids who work very hard, and the music they wrote is also very good. It's not bad at all as the theme song for this animation."

"Eh... Mr. Maezawa actually has such a good opinion of them?"

The general supervisor looked surprised. The guy in front of him was notoriously difficult in the industry. He seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder and was an absolute perfectionist. Even the lead singer of the songs he wrote was a designated role.

"Mr. Sawano was obviously very dissatisfied when the band was first arranged to come in, but now he still praises them so generously?"

"Isn't the person who asked them to parachute in for me also the general supervisor?" Sawano teased. "However, after I heard the music they made, I actually felt grateful."

"Why did I come in... If it weren't for the order from above, I wouldn't have been able to let the immature high school student band join the production team."

The general supervisor spoke helplessly.

Although the Ending Band has been very popular recently and the songs they write are well known to everyone, in the end they are just newcomers to the band.

Letting them join the animation production team really takes too many risks. Being young also means they lack experience and are not stable enough. These uncertain factors are like time bombs.

This animation is a large-scale production prepared by the company, which can be seen from the invitation of Sawano, who is an ace in the industry.

If possible, the general manager still hopes to bring in more stable veteran music creators.

"Eh... This is actually not the decision of the General Supervisor?"

Even Sawano looked surprised.

"I don't have the courage." The man spread his hands. "However, this kind of thing is actually quite common."

"How to say?"

"For example, after an investor invests, they specify a request, 'I want voice actor If they are unreasonable, we can only follow their wishes.”

The man is very helpless.

No matter what kind of job it is, in the final analysis, the most important thing is to satisfy Party A and investors. Party B like them is just a worker in the end.

After all, from the company's perspective, the ultimate and most important purpose of animation production is to make money.

"However, the designation of a band to compose the theme song...this is the first time I have seen such a request."

Unconsciously, a conversation started between the two.

"This is also my first time seeing you." Maezawa suddenly sighed.

"But thanks to them, our production team did receive a lot of investment and outsourced several famous original animators... I guess the final quality of the animation will be much better than expected."

The general supervisor still had a smile on his face.

"Mr. Sawano said those children were fine, so I felt relieved."

"Is this what the General Supervisor is here to ask about?"

"Just here to complain."

After the conversation ended, Sawano was the only one left in the music production department office.

......

...

It's getting late.

It's time to get off work.

However, the staff at IG showed no signs of getting off work. Almost no one left their workstations, but continued to work in front of the computer.

However......

"After get off work, after get off work, let's go quickly."

Maezawa urged the band to end and leave the recording studio, impatient to get off work.

"Mr. Maezawa... we haven't finished recording the song yet!"

As the lead singer, Kita had a somewhat lonely look on his face and spoke unwillingly.

"It's already time to get off work. You are outsourced, so you don't get overtime pay."

"But...but..."

Kita wanted to continue explaining, but was immediately interrupted.

"Besides, overtime is not counted when I am out in the field. Who would be willing to work overtime without overtime pay?"

Maezawa's voice was a little loud, and almost everyone in the company could hear it clearly.

Some outsourced painters were shocked.

"Originally, I had already made up my mind that I would never leave until I finished recording..."

"It's been a tiring day. You are no longer fit to continue working, whether in physical or mental condition. Continuing to work hard under such circumstances is just useless and may even hurt your throat. It's better to take a rest. Let’s continue tomorrow.”

"Eh......"

It seems that this is Maezawa’s true thoughts.

"That's right, Ikudai, let's have a good rest today. We'll come back tomorrow."

Yamada Ryo's eyes shone.

Come back tomorrow...that means you can have a reasonable excuse not to go to school tomorrow.

Even though it was work, except for Kotobuki Mitsuru and Kita, everyone else was quite free when they were in the company.

"Kita has recorded very well now, but it is probably because he is too tired. It will be better to go back and have a rest. It will be better to continue tomorrow." Kotobuki Mitsuru also spoke.

Several people were walking in the office.

Under the eyes of the overtime workers who exuded a dark atmosphere, enduring the envious and jealous eyes, the band ended and left the company.

Chapter 274 animation broadcast

It was late at night.

There were no lights on in the dim room, and only the TV screen was reflected in the spacious living room.

Kotobuki Hikaru hasn't slept yet, even though she has to get up early to go to school tomorrow.

But he wasn't the only one who wasn't asleep at this time... In other words, a large part of the students were staying up late today.

There is no other reason.

"Isn't everyone asleep yet?"

Ding-dong-

Kotobuki Mitsuru's cell phone sounded a group chat message notification tone, and on the preview screen of the cell phone screen, the incoming call message displayed the following words.

The TV was still playing meaningless advertisements, so Kotobuki simply used the remote control to mute the sound.

After unlocking the phone and clicking on the message prompt above, the phone screen automatically jumped to the familiar group chat.

The cute emoticons left by Kita remained on the top of the chat message, a large series of repeated messages on the screen. Kita used this to express her excitement for tonight.

However, just when Kita's excitement was about to reach its peak, she was interrupted by a merciless one-minute ban from the group leader.

"not yet."

Kotobuki Hikaru typed in response.

"Nightlife has just begun." It was Ryo Yamada who sent the message.

"Me...me too." Goto Kazuri.

"How can I possibly sleep at this time?"

Finally, Kita, who was put into the solitary room, was released by the system after one minute.

After sending the message, I also posted a cute emoticon of a cat girl from a certain mahjong game that has been very popular recently.

And because Kita was afraid of being banned again, he didn't just post it like before, but just posted one.

"Ah...it's time!"

After the group leader Ichichi Hongxia sent this message, there was no sound in the group.

Kotobuki Hikaru threw the phone aside, raised his eyes, and focused on the TV that had not been turned on for an unknown amount of time.

Snapped--!

The TV's mute was lifted, and the dark living room suddenly fell into a commotion.

"I never thought I would stay up late and watch late-night anime..." Kotobuki Hikari suddenly sighed.

Kotobuki Hikaru usually doesn't like to watch anime.

There is a saying that what you like in junior high school can determine the kind of person you will become in the future.

If you liked watching animations when you were in junior high school, then in all likelihood you will become a senior two-thorned ape in the future.

If you like reading in junior high school, you will probably become a literary girl or a literary young man in the future.
