An arrangement is not an independent work, and a sample arrangement cannot be considered an infringement. At most, it is a "reference". It is polite to say hello to the original author. If you are thick-skinned and skip this greeting, there is nothing you can do about it.
If Mr. Nakamura samples someone else's music, it would still be a bit troublesome to deal with copyright issues, but with sampling and arranging, things become much easier.
At that time, it will be up to Sony to get a permit.
Speaking of which, when Nakamura was a student at Aoyama Gakuin University, his idol was Kuwada Kaisuke. This talented musician had more than one song that drew on the style of Western music when producing.
Shinichi Iwahashi felt relieved and went to see Miwa-chan, remembering her exaggerated remarks about "Masato-san seems to have done something bad" just now. At this moment, he was really curious about Nakamura-san's expression when he heard this comment.
"what you want to say?"
Miwa-chan caught his gaze, pouted her lips, crooked her neck, and stared at him...
Iwahashi Shinichi had a lot, "Nothing at all." He talked to Brother Nakamura, "Which song specifically was sampled?"
Brother Nakamura couldn't guess what riddle the two were playing, but Shinichi Iwahashi asked and put aside his curiosity and told him, "It's "Let's Groove" by the Earth Fire Wind Band." He explained, "I participated in a radio show before.
At that time, I wrote a verse for the show. After that, I thought about making a song with the feeling of earth, fire and wind, so I completed it and made a rough production."
"That's it." Shin Iwahashi nodded. He got up and went to talk to the recording assistant here, asking the assistant to send him a copy of "Let's Groove" by the Earth Fire Wind Band for his reference.
After giving instructions, he discussed with Brother Nakamura, "First make the music, and then take it to producer Ashida."
Ashida is the chief producer in charge of DREAM Color T-E at Sony. The band sampled arrangements from other bands. The licensing work is not done by the band members, but by the record company.
First make the music and show it to producer Ashida. What happens after that is up to Sony.
When Iwahashi Shinichi said this, Brother Nakamura understood it immediately.
The two Zeng Yis reached a consensus and rolled up their sleeves to make preparations. Meihejiang, who had become calmer after being unknowingly depressed just now, listened to the two of them talking. After listening for a while, they lost interest and buried their heads by themselves.
The ballpoint pen writes and draws on the paper.
…
After confirming the arrangement of this song with Brother Nakamura, Shinichi Iwahashi also listened to the song "Let's Groove" by the Earth Fire Wind Band to understand the extent of his reference.
The next day, he took the music to Sony and went to meet with producer Ashida.
When dealing with external parties, it is up to the record company to provide authorization. However, as the leader and band producer, Shinichi Iwahashi is responsible for bringing this matter to the record company and persuading them to come forward.
When they met, Iwahashi Shinichi explained his purpose and presented Nakamura-san's song and "Let's Groove" by the Earth Fire Wind Band. Producer Ashida listened to the songs respectively and praised: "Nakamura-kun wrote a good song.
Song."
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "Indeed, it is an impeccable title song." This song is definitely a single title song. Moreover, it is a song that only Miwa-chan can sing well.
Producer Ashida asked him, "Do you plan to release this song as your next single?"
"Now we only have the music, and the lyrics are not yet available." Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "Whether we can catch up with the next single depends on whether the God of inspiration takes care of our Yoshida-san."
Producer Ashida laughed at his statement and responded in agreement, "Then I have to pray to the God of Inspiration for Yoshida-chan."
This means that this song must be released. Producer Ashida joked and said seriously, "Leave the licensing matter to me... It's just an arrangement and sampling, it's not a big problem."
Sony stepped in to solve the only problem with the song. Next, it was time to give Miwa-chan homework.
Iwahashi Shinichi received Producer Ashida's assurance that the task was completed and he felt relaxed. He was thinking about what to say in his mind when Producer Ashida suddenly mentioned, "Just now, I heard a little thing."
Iwahashi Shinichi made a gesture of listening carefully.
Producer Ashida smiled and said, "Iwahashi-kun, Komuro-kun and YOSHIKI-kun participated in a radio show a few days ago. Is this true?"
"It's about Monday," Shinichi Iwahashi replied.
Producer Ashida nodded slightly, "I see." He looked at Shinichi Iwahashi's confused expression and said, "The operator responsible for answering the band's calls has received several calls in recent days."
"There were about 20 or 30 calls, not too many." Producer Ashida told him, "The content of the call was, 'Producer Iwahashi's voice, and the band KIRIN-kun that I heard before were on the radio.
The sound is very similar."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "The audience's ears are really good."
Producer Ashida also laughed, "Normally, when Iwahashi-kun is on TV, when people look at your face, they won't particularly associate you with the image of a giraffe man, but when you can only hear the sound,
It’s inevitable to pay too much attention to the sound.”
When the band first debuted, they were only slightly famous. At that time, Shinichi Iwahashi was still a man in black behind the scenes who had never stepped onto the stage. The three of them acted together, participated in radio programs, and even talked to Miwa-chan on the radio.
Fried soybeans and present a cross talk with no tickets.
After participating in a radio program, the audience noticed his behind-the-scenes identity. This development surprised Shinichi Iwahashi. However, despite the surprise, he did not regard it as a big deal.
The audience for the radio program was limited, and the band was not a big name at the time. After listening to the program and remembering his voice, the audience who also happened to hear that episode of "ALLNIGHTNIPPON" was probably only a few dozen people.
It was precisely because he knew this that Producer Ashida told him this matter as an anecdote.
The band has become very popular now, and it would be very rare for the three of them to participate in a radio show together. And Shinichi Iwahashi is not a frequent guest on radio shows. The radio shows that can invite him are 100% super big names.
In this way, this trivial matter can only be discussed secretly by a few people in a small area at most.
Even if someone does ask him, what does the Giraffe Man thing have to do with him, Shinichi Iwahashi?
No one likes wearing a hood.
Iwahashi Shin put this trivial matter aside and didn't take it seriously.
…
Friday is here.
It's not even close to the end of the day, but the young men and women in the office are already a little restless. Neighboring colleagues raised their heads to look at each other, quietly winking.
The weekend party starts on Friday night.
Zhang Zi was absent-minded, his eyes wandered here and there, and suddenly settled on a certain place. Miho, who was wearing the company's pink-blue uniform, gave her a somewhat exaggerated smile. After getting to know Miho, Zhang Zi took a serious look at her face.
She has a round, small and cute face, clean and as simple as her personality.
This kind of girl is completely different from her.
Zhang Zi thought to herself that Miho must have never experienced pain like hers during her school days. Such a girl must be regarded as a pistachio, as a cute sister, as...
At this moment, the phone on the table rang.
Zhang Zi's heart skipped a beat and she almost ran away from her seat. She calmed down and looked at the ringing phone, feeling fear spreading in her heart.
"Zhang Jiang~phone, phone!"
The female colleague Matsuda Kazumi sitting next to her approached her and lowered her voice to remind her. Even the specially lowered voice sounded like thunder in Zhang Zi's ears. She closed her eyes, picked up the microphone at random, and played
to the ear
It was a call from the customer who was responsible for it previously.
The moment Zhang Zi breathed a sigh of relief, she felt her eyes heat up slightly. She lowered her head, restrained her tone, and communicated with the other party on the phone in a business-like manner.
Among the employees at the same time, Zhang Zi had the highest evaluation from customers and was highly trusted. It is hard to say whether this was due to her outstanding appearance, but Zhang Zi also enjoyed the additional benefits brought by this appearance.
But now, when she forced herself to go out in bright clothes and full make-up every day, she accidentally saw herself reflected in the glass, and she felt an urge to tear all the blooming flowers into pieces.
After Akiko put down the phone, Matsuda Kazumi couldn't wait to make a joke about Akiko, "Aki-chan was so distracted just now."
The colleague next to me also came to join in the fun, "It is Friday after all. From now on, I have planned which store to go to today."
Kazumi Matsuda smiled and said, "However, Akira-chan is not acting like this just because of which store she plans to go to."
When she said this, she deliberately raised her voice slightly so that people sitting nearby could hear it. There may not be a hint of sarcasm in this approach.
In the past month, Akira went home early every Friday, using the excuse of watching a TV series starring Nakamori Akina. Whenever Akina left, a male colleague always expressed regret and joked, "Aki-chan was taken away by Akina-chan."
Already."
Such a beauty can become a topic of conversation even when she is not present.
Zhang Zi became a loyal viewer of the TV series, and even refused to go to the Friday night life. Other colleagues also became interested in the "Lovely Season" because of this, and also chose to go home early after the dinner to watch the TV series.
Such a beauty's every move receives attention, is imitated, and is treated with tolerance. Even if she is not gregarious, there are people who take the initiative to understand her.
There was a hint of thorn in Matsuda Kazumi's beautiful words, but Zhang Zi was too distracted to notice other people's malicious intentions.
In the previous month, thanks to Miho, she was given a step up. When she went to work on Monday, Miho took the initiative to talk to her about her thoughts on the TV series. Zhang Zi was originally following the trend and used the excuse of watching TV series to avoid socializing, but
During this month, she also watched every episode.
...I envy Kanon, played by Akina-san, to have a good friend who can see her beautiful heart through her appearance.
However, such a pair of close friends broke up because they liked the same man. While Zhang Zi felt worthless in his heart, he couldn't help but sneer secretly, thinking that there was no real friendship at all.
In the trailer for the next episode, Hanayin decisively breaks off the relationship with Naoko, and her non-sloppy style makes people feel refreshed, but she can't help but feel pity for it. When Zhangzi recalled this trace of regret in her heart, she suddenly realized that what she regretted was not Hana.
Yin was betrayed by both friends and lovers, but it was a pity that a pair of close friends were separated like this.
But she clearly never believed in the existence of true friendship.
This week, Zhang Zi really wanted to know the next plot. He wanted to know whether there was any room for redemption in this broken relationship, and what kind of fruit the flower of love that grew out of betrayal would bear.
However, however.
Tonight, Zhang Zi did not dare to go home. Not only tonight, if she could, she hoped to never go back, even if she just disappeared.
Early this morning, a debt collection call from the loan company came to the management office of her apartment. Although the information was not leaked to the landlord, the caller was a man who sounded like a little A Fei. After Zhang Zi answered the phone, the landlord did not
Give her a good look.
In such an apartment, the landlord is afraid of trouble, afraid of getting into trouble, and is most afraid of tenants with unknown origins.
Zhangzi's apartment has an indoor telephone, and the debt collection call was deliberately made to the administrator's office, which was undoubtedly a warning to her. If she failed to repay the money, the other party would tell her landlord that she owed the loan.
, told her company.
Throughout the whole day, Zhang Zi felt frightened when he heard the phone ringing.
…
During the customary dinner after work, Akiko and Miho were seated together.
Witnessed with my own eyes that the relationship between these two girls, who had never spoken to each other before, and who looked like they were not the same people, had developed by leaps and bounds in the past month because of a TV series. Even though my colleagues felt incredible, they could not restrain themselves.
A playful heart.
Especially everyone knows that after that, these two people will leave early on the excuse of watching TV series.
Although these two people are not the only ones using this excuse in the past month, even people who are also going back to watch TV series will deliberately make fun of these two people, which seems to be a strategy to emphasize that they are not out of touch.
When Akiko savored this, she couldn't help but admire Miho who was the first to say that she wanted to go home. This girl who looked innocent and non-aggressive was actually strong and full of confidence.
In contrast, she was wrapped in glamorous clothes and exquisite makeup, but she was so fragile that she couldn't even say "no".
Akiko pretended to be worried, but although she was not rude, she inevitably looked polite and stiff. Her eyes occasionally fell on Miho's face, looking at the cheerful smile on her innocent round face.
"Aki-chan~" Miho turned around and greeted her with a smile.
Recently, Zhangzi realized that Miho seemed to treat her as a friend. After the first episode of the TV series was broadcast, Miho took the initiative to ask her about the opening plot that she missed. From that time on, Zhangzi regarded watching the TV series as a way to return home early.
The reason for going home is that when I was at work on Monday, I waited for Miho to come over to me at noon and listen to her thoughts on the plot.
How can there be friendship between two people like me, who is already standing on the edge of a cliff and may fall at any time, and Miho, who is full of light?
However, when Miho looked at her, she couldn't see that she was actually standing on the edge of the cliff.
