Chapter 22. I won't go into battle, will I? (4000 words)(1/2)

Hosokawa Koharu really thinks something is wrong with Higashinoji.

She also didn't think Higashinoji had called to make a special call to enjoy herself.

After all, since Higashinoji has this confidence, the lyrics and music he wrote should be the kind of work that can be used, and is not just here to joke.

only...

"Does Teacher Higashino still know how to write songs?" Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but ask.

She asked casually, always feeling uncomfortable without asking.

"It's a little bit." Higashinoji replied with a smile: "I just don't know much."

"...Is that true?" Hosokawa Koharu did not take Higashiji's words "I can do it a little bit" to heart.

Because every time Higashinoji says this, it basically means that he is stable this time, and he must have taken out something good again.

Since that's the case...

"Okay...I probably understand. To be more specific, what song did Mr. Higashino write?"

Hosokawa Koharu put down the pen in his hand and asked Higashinoji curiously.

"It's a song about "Unnatural Death", it's the theme song of this comic." Higashino replied with a smile.

"Theme song..." Hosokawa Koharu pondered, feeling that there was nothing abrupt about it.

Because there are actually many secondary creations of "Unnatural Death" on the Internet, many of them like to join in the fun, and some people compose music and sing for "Unnatural Death" for free.

This is the horrifying influence of phenomenal comics.

Just walk on the street and ask about the situation of "Unnatural Death", and the passerby can also express that he knows this work.

Just like the three giants of "Naruto", "Dragon Ball" and "Pirate", even those who have not read these three comics know their names to a greater or lesser extent.

For such works, even if the theme song is brought out in advance, it is not too abrupt.

If it were other works... it would be basically impossible.

Urashima Publishing House has always given preferential treatment to Higashinoji.

Thinking of this, Hosokawa Koharu didn't hesitate. She picked up the bag next to her, stood up and walked out, and asked, "Don't you know if Teacher Higashino is available now? I want to go over and discuss the specific matters with you now."

In fact, there is a fax machine in the company, and there is also a Higashinoji family. It is okay to ask him to fax the simplified score directly, but many issues cannot be discussed in person, which is really inappropriate.

She was also worried that Higashinoji would have produced animated or TV dramatic plans for "Unnatural Death".

It's better to come here in person...

"I'm free at any time." Higashinoji replied with a smile: "Then I'll wait for editor Hosokawa to come to my house."

Higashinoji didn't use any respect, after all, the relationship between him and Koharu Hosokawa was not to be said, and the two of them didn't have to be so restricted in their words.

Hosokawa Koharu also smiled and replied to Higashinoji for a few words, then drove towards Higashino's family.

It didn't take long to drive to Higashino's house. Hosokawa Koharu got off the bus and quickly entered Higashino's house.

"Teacher Higashino...uh...are you drawing?" As soon as Koharu of Hosokawa entered the door, he saw Higashinoji holding a pencil and not knowing what he was drawing. He tried to ask him in a gentle and undisturbed tone.

"Well, draw something you want to draw." Higashinoji saw that Hosokawa Koharu had arrived at the door, so he put the pencil in his hand aside.

He drew the same one on the cover of "Lemon" by Genji Yonetsu's previous life, wanting to see if he could express "Lemon" through a flat medium like paper before the song "Lemon".

But the final result failed.

No matter how I draw it, there is no special effect of "Lemon" in my ears.

Sure enough, this new painting skill is similar to the painting ideology, and it is the kind of skill that can only take effect after one's own experience.

"Teacher Higashino, the song you wrote... I wonder if I can take a look first?" After watching Higashinoji handle the matter with him, Hosokawa Koharu put down his bag and sat down and asked.

She is a professional and knows a little bit about songs. Although she doesn't reach the level of a professional, she is also more skilled than ordinary people.

"Please check it out."

"Okay, is the name of the song "Lemon"?" Hosokawa Koharu took the three pieces of paper simplified sheets handed over by Higashinoji. He glanced at the title briefly, but he didn't care much about it.

I can’t tell anything in just one title, so I’d better look at the lyrics and tunes first.

She continued to look down, and at the same time she also whispered in the tone: "How great would it be if all this was a dream? I can still meet you in a dream today... There are also irreversible happiness in this world, those dark past events that have not been mentioned to others..."

This tune has an indescribable sense of clarity and transparency. Just humming seems to feel the freshness of the lemon.

But the lyrics give Hosokawa Koharu another feeling.

"Even the sadness of that day, even the pain of that day, has turned everything, together with you whom I love deeply, into the bitter lemon fragrance in my heart, and cannot return before the rain has sunny. To this day, you are still my light..."

This word seems to imply that the creator has lost a loved one or a friend, sour and depressing.

The original song of "Lemon" by Master Yonetsu's previous life also expresses this idea, the living's recollection and grief of the deceased...

Hosokawa Koharu was just chanting the lyrics in the tune, but as he chanted, he thought of his own experience and couldn't help singing in a low voice.

The second month after taking up her job at Urashima Publishing House last year, her grandmother who loved her the most died of illness.

At that time, she heard the bad news of her grandmother's death just halfway through, and she was depressed for a long time.

This song "Lemon" really inexplicably evokes her memories.

The sentence "Today, you are still my light" made her choke.

Similarly, Koharu Hosokawa couldn't help but think randomly during the a cappella...

Does Mr. Higashino want to express something through this song?

What a sensational song, what a bitter lyrics...

But under this sad song, there is a little warmth and emotion inexplicably.

But...Who is the 'light' in the lyrics referring to Teacher Higashino?

After singing a companion song by Koharu Hosokawa, he looked up at Higashinoshi.

She didn't cry like Koumai Lianghua, but she was obviously choked and hesitated: "Teacher Higashino, this song is well written...but..."

"But?" Seeing that she had not spoken, Higashinoji couldn't help but ask.

Hosokawa Koharu hesitated for a while, but still said the sentence "Teacher Higashino, are you a little confused about life recently, so you wrote this kind of song?"

After all, it's too rude.

"Nothing... Then let's discuss this song." Hosokawa Koharu sorted out his thoughts, then continued to speak, and expressed his thoughts directly: "I haven't heard such a theme song that fits the theme of a manga in a long time."

Yes, maybe because it was a father who gave birth to it, this song "Lemon" is really suitable for "Unnatural Death".

Whether it is the memorial and remembrance of the deceased or the warmth in suppressing pain... it is really suitable for "Unnatural Death" - it feels like it is tailor-made.

It is actually normal for Hosokawa Koharu to have this idea.

This song in his previous life won the Best Theme Song Award for the Tokyo International Drama Festival, the Best Theme Song Award for the 96th Japanese Drama Academy, and even Kenji Yonezu directly appeared in the "Red and White Song Club" known as the Japanese Spring Festival Gala with this song.

It's absolutely fine to say it's tailor-made.

"The style of music is also the popular style of young people nowadays... I personally think it can be done." Hosokawa Koharu nodded and affirmed while analyzing.

She is not the kind of person who knows the music market very much, but she also has a vague feeling in her heart - if this song is released, it will not be very popular, but the results and singing level will definitely not be bad.

After all, this song is so in line with Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death".

"Can you please ask the editor Hosokawa to help contact the singer?" After reading and singing, Higashinoji of course had to make his own request.

"Contact the singer... Yes, can... Does Teacher Higashino have any candidates you like?" Hosokawa Koharu asked with thought.

As a publisher, Urajima Publishing House can be considered well-known.

After all, many of the theme songs of animations under the publishing house can be invited to write lyrics and compose music by professional singers.

As long as Higashinoshi is not the kind of singer who has been hidden or retired, it is still no problem to find it.

"As far as the situation is concerned, I have a lot of interest in Miss Yukie Oura. If possible, can I ask the editor Hosokawa to contact me?"

Higashinoji didn't think much and spoke directly.

"Is Oura Yukie?" Hosokawa Koharu still has some impression of this name that can be seen on the top of the post list, but to be honest, she does not have such a good impression of this singer.

Say something Higashinoji doesn't know.

Yukie Oura took on the task of composeing and singing the animation theme song very early. As a result, in the last month, the producer found Yukie Oura and hoped that she could come up with the theme song according to the scheduled plan...

As a result, at that time, Oura Yukie's agent said that the construction had just started and the progress was only halfway through.

You should know that you have to promote the animation one month in advance, and all kinds of matters are ready... The other party's words were dragged back for a while.

I don't know if this singer is a little arrogant or a little dissatisfied with human nature... In short, Hosokawa Koharu has no good impression of her.

However, at that time, Yukie Oura was invited by a medium-sized animation production company and a general publishing house... This time, the phenomenon-level comic author Higashinoji and Urashima Publishing House took the initiative to invite her... and she just asked her to sing a song, so she couldn't have missed her vote again, right?

Hosokawa Koharu nodded as he thought so: "I understand. When I go back later, I will ask the editor-in-chief Urashima... I will take away the song "Lemon". Have you completed all the copyright procedures? Teacher Higashino?"

"Well, I took the time to ask the lawyer to help complete the procedures."

For Higashinoji, the song "Lemon" is a reliable killer weapon for "Unnatural Death" to hit the average sales of two million volumes. It is really the kind of Gatlin who can spark "jump" and spark when he takes it out. Of course, he can't be treated carelessly.

Higashinoji directly found the lawyer he hired before to help complete the various required procedures.
