Please make money.

At the same time, a quarrel was going on in the artist department of Victory Records.

It’s not quite right to call it a quarrel. It was more of a one-sided scolding.

In a luxuriously decorated room in the artist department, female singer Kiko Umekawa was knocking on the table lightly.

"This is what you have accomplished? This is the theme song you chose for me? I raised you losers just to make fun of me!"

Kiko Umekawa is currently one of the most popular female singers in Sakura Empire.

Alia had no impression of her because she was a specialty of this world line and her songs were all created here.

Ai Xiaozhangyu, a plagiarist, knows nothing about music. Her ability to appreciate music has long been nailed to the version from more than ten years ago.

Of course, she herself also had something to say, about the era when the gods fought for supremacy, blah blah blah...

"My movie will be released soon, but how long will it take to get the accompanying music album and title song ready?"

In Sakura City, it is common for artists to cross over to other industries, but there are very few cases where the crossover is successful.

Kyoko Umekawa wanted to be one of the few, so she kept striving for perfection, but the result was that she was neither good nor bad.

The assistant and the manager shook their heads repeatedly - there were no good songs! There were no suitable songs!

"Xizi," the manager said helplessly, "Your requirements are too high. We selected almost 20 songs before, but you didn't like any of them."

Victory Records is already considered one of the top record companies in Japan. The composing department and the artist department work together and are considered the elite in the industry.

But she had brought in all the recent stock from the composition department, and had also received song requests from outside, but she was not satisfied with any of them. She could only say that she was too picky.

"I didn't like it? Is it my problem? Didn't you hear the quality of those songs yourself?"

What the hell is that! Even if it's just a catchy song, you have to give me something that catches my ears, right?

But faced with her high pressure, everyone just looked away and pretended nothing happened.

After all, we can't really blame everyone for this. People have different aesthetic tastes, not to mention that their starting points are different.

Their starting point is to get the job done.

And Kyoko Umekawa's starting point was to become famous.

This is just like taking a salary of 3,000 yuan and worrying about a 30 million yuan villa for your boss...

Umekawa Kiko took a deep breath and said, "So, you really think I'm too strict, right?"

"Xizi, you have to understand that the composition department of Victory Records is a rare professional team in the industry..."

In other words, you have to learn to compromise.

You are already an adult, so stop dreaming about finding a bargain all day long.

That's something only middle school boys do!

Do you really think you are the protagonist, and you can get the assistance of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix to rule the world?

Listening to everyone's excuses, the very strict Kyoko Umekawa didn't think it was her fault at all.

She even got angry all of a sudden. You all eat my food, wear my clothes, and use my things, but you can't do your job well!

Then everyone stop doing it!

"Okay, okay, okay... Didn't you say that the composing department of Victory Records is amazing? Come on, get out the new songs and play them all!"

She patted the table and said, "I'll play all the latest singles for everyone. I won't say anything critical. You have ears too. Listen for yourselves!"

Seeing that she seemed really angry, the assistant hurried to smooth things over: "Xizi, don't be so excited, talk it over nicely..."

"Speak nicely? Speak nicely, will you listen?"

Once Kyoko Umekawa makes up her mind, she has to be serious about it.

To the Donghuang people, her character is at most a bit stubborn and arrogant.

But in the eyes of the Sakura Empire, this is not arrogance at all, it is simply treason.

Do you know how much trouble you have caused everyone?

You damned guy, you should apologize to everyone!

Kyoko Umekawa used her own account to open the computer background and directly filtered out the composition department singles that had been recently added to the library.

As the top artist of Victory Records' artist department, Kiko Umekawa has very high authority and priority.

It was even so high that one could see a new sample song "Stay By My Side" by a newbie named "Ailizi" in the system.

Kyoko Umekawa glanced at the songs she had heard before and slid the mouse down like the footsteps of a devil.

The others watched and twitched and twitched as well, thinking to themselves, "Don't click it."

Because the quality is only entry-level and far from excellent, everyone knows it.

Fortunately, Kiko Umekawa is not the kind of person who deliberately messes with other people's mentality, or her purpose is very pure, which is to write good songs and become famous herself.

The mouse slid down and finally landed on "Stay By Me", and clicked on this new single.

Aaliyah: Quack! Don't touch me!

As a small clerk, she had no idea that the victory scene system had such a convoluted design and even more background.

Stay by my side, そばにいるね, a song with an ordinary name.

In fact, if you just look at the lyrics, it is true and it is no big deal.

Even when the piano prelude came on, Kyoko Umekawa still had an expression that said, "This is the good stuff you were talking about."

あなたのことprivateは日でも

"Every moment with you until now"

I want to keep thinking

"I still keep thinking about it"

いくら时流れて行こうと

"No matter how time passes"

I'mbyyoursidebabyいつでも

"I'll always be by your side"

So.どんなに里れていようと

"So even though we are far apart"

It's in my heart

"In my heart at all times"

One thread, one, one, one, one, one, one

"I am with you but I am still lonely"

Sobabypleaseただhurrybackhome

"So baby just asks you to hurry back home"

The entire paragraph is actually only about thirty seconds in the song.

But when she heard this, Kyoko Umekawa immediately put down her arms that were crossed over her chest and stood up straight.

Aoyama Thelma has sung many songs, but the most popular one, or the one that you know is definitely good and will be a hit the first time you hear it, is this one.

This song made Thelma Aoyama the biggest dark horse in the music scene of Sakura City in 08.

Even in that era when pop music was the most popular ringtone for telephones, this song still set a Guinness World Record for the song with the most downloads as a ringtone in Chongqing, and it was a full song ringtone.

Everyone stopped talking and listened to the song attentively with different expressions.

The popular singer Kiko Umekawa didn't even care about the slapping scene.

She was waiting anxiously and nervously for the entire song to be played - and hoped that it would not be a slap in the face.

"..."

After the show was over, she sat down in silence and looked at each other with everyone else.

After a long moment, the manager smiled awkwardly: "Look, this is it...it's not like there aren't any good songs, right?"

Only then did Kyoko Umekawa come to her senses, rolled her eyes at the idiot, and then looked through the background data.

Who is this Alice?

Currently, Alizi has a total of three songs in her collection, one is the piano piece "Wedding in the Dream" and the other is this one.

The piano piece has been 'reserved' by the principal pianist Fujisawa Yu, as there are her notes at the back.

This means that whoever wants to get this song will first have to deal with not Alia, the composer, but Fujisawa Ame, who is first in line.

However, the composer and original singer of "Stay By My Side" was not named after herself.

The lyrics and music were both written by SoulJa, and I've never heard of such a person.

As for the original singer, Aoyama Daima, I have never heard of her. Who is she?

Normally, even if this song doesn't become a huge hit, it can definitely be regarded as catchy pop music to support the album's title song.

Mature arrangement, qualified singing skills, and more importantly, the existence of this "ear edge".

Audience affinity is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.

Just like some movie stars, they may have tried very hard in acting, but they are just not remembered by the audience. This is because they are not appealing to the audience.

Their faces are handsome in their own ways, but if it doesn’t suit, it just doesn’t suit. Every country has these stars who can’t be made popular.

The same goes for singers. Some people sing all their lives, but their songs are popular but they themselves are not. It’s totally incomprehensible.

Based on her own experience, Kyoko Umekawa concluded that this song could at least make a new singer famous and directly push him to the second tier.

Even dominating the Oricon charts for a few weeks wouldn’t be a problem!

"Go contact this Alizi, I want this song, she can name any price!"

Umekawa Kiko rubbed her face and said, "What I mean is, as long as she is willing, I can transfer some resources to her later. This is a price. Do you understand?"

Although I don't know who the original singer, Thelma Aoyama, is, but since Aliko was able to put it into storage, she should have the right to dispose of it, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, another song was uploaded to the music library.

"Time after time?"

She frowned as she looked at the name and lyrics of the song. The most important thing was the composer and the original singer. Why did they change again?

The lyrics were written by Mai Kuraki, the music was composed by Aika Ohno, and the arrangement was by Cybersound... I don't recognize any of them!

What kind of trumpet is Mai Kuraki?

Kiko Umekawa was confused. Could this Alice be a super porter?

There used to be such a person in the record industry, who was more of a translator than a porter.

It is not uncommon to simply copy lyrics and music from overseas, then give them a makeover and release them as new songs.

However, the original singers of these two songs both sound like they are from the Sakura Empire...

When she clicked on this song, Kyoko Umekawa's eyes gradually widened.

Zephyr! I saw Zephyr!

"What did you...see?"

I was clearly listening to a song, what did I see? Is this a reasonable question?

But most people nodded.

“I saw a little girl wearing a kimono!”

"And I saw a little girl in a kimono playing with a ball!"

"Yes, yes, I saw it too—"

This thing is like a supernatural event, and it can only be said that it is somewhat influenced by the Rice Flower Theater.

However, even if we simply evaluate the quality of the song, this song is still an excellent one.

Historically, this single ranked third on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart with sales of 6.7 in its first week of release.

This became Mai Kuraki's 14th consecutive single to enter the top three of the chart, and ultimately accumulated singles sales of 14.4.
