Iwahashi Shinichi answered firmly, "Of course it's true, you can't joke about this kind of thing."
"Thank you very much!" Yoshida Miwa bowed vigorously to him and stood up, "My abilities are limited, and although I may not be able to give much, I will try my best in terms of remuneration..."
"Forget about the reward." Iwahashi Shinichi felt a little uncomfortable with her seriousness, "I just think your music is great and should be heard by more people, so I just want to help. If I were to mention the reward, it would be
It’s boring.”
No matter what the process and results were, at first he really wanted to work as a backup dancer for Mimi Club because of the money. But now, no matter what the process and results are, he also sincerely wants to help Yoshida Miwa.
Different from Mimi's club's happy attitude towards making music, Iwahashi Shinichi felt something heavier with Yoshida Miwa. She not only regarded music as an ideal, but also regarded it as a lifelong pursuit.
This kind of determination to move forward in one direction without looking back is something Iwahashi Shinichi has never had before.
In life, money is of course very important, but occasionally, he also wants to do something that does not consider the reward, just for the sake of his ideals. Whether it is his own ideals or helping others realize their ideals.
The talents Yoshida Miwa showed him made him feel from the bottom of his heart that it would be a pity if such a person was buried.
"Yes, I understand." Yoshida Miwa also felt the kindness from him and thanked him again, "Then please leave it to Iwahashi-san."
Just do it, and the next night at Odyssey, Yoshida Miwa gave him the a cappella song she had recorded. Iwahashi Shinichi prepared a blank staff and dictated the music score to her.
He got a total of three audition tapes, all of which were songs composed by Miwa Yoshida through a cappella singing.
To be honest, when I first listened to her audition tape, Iwahashi Shinichi could understand what the manager said, "I have no idea what you sang" because what was recorded on the tape did sound abstract.
Things that make ordinary people feel scattered and meaningless.
What's even more special is that because her talent for composing music was completely rewarded by God and she has never gone through systematic study, the music she comes up with can be said to be unconstrained and erratic, with no trace to follow or any routine to follow.
The difficulty of dictating these a cappella songs is much more difficult than dictating the chords of the music.
But this did not affect Shinichi Iwahashi's evaluation of Yoshida Miwa, because when he listened carefully, these melodies were very interesting, and he could feel from them that this person indeed has unparalleled genius.
It's just that her talent only has one foot. If someone can't turn her intangible talents into something tangible and pass them on to the public, she will never be able to run.
At nine o'clock in the morning on Sunday, Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida made an appointment to meet at Shimbashi Station.
I originally thought that I could solve the problem by just listening to the tape, but when I actually started doing it, I found that there were quite a few little things that I needed to confirm with her. Rather than talking to her on the phone, of course, it would be easier to ask her to meet in person, and it would be easier to confirm with her in person.
Speaking of which, unlike Shinichi Iwahashi who does not offend anyone in the club but does not interact with anyone deeply, Miwa Yoshida has always been a loner in the club, whether she is a bartender, a waiter, or a waiter.
It's a collaborative accompaniment band, and they all keep a certain distance.
In the past few days, the two of them had communicated several times backstage about dictating music scores. Such a person, who was described by others as having a "somewhat gloomy personality", suddenly communicated with Shinichi Iwahashi, which attracted some attention, but no one noticed. When people mentioned this matter in private, Iwahashi Shinichi was happy to be quiet.
These days are not like later, when everyone has a mobile phone in their hand, and they can do anything by sending their location. Not to mention mobile phones, even a pager is still a luxury item. If you want to meet outside, you have to carefully agree on the time and place. It even has to be detailed down to which ticket gate.
The train on Sunday was crowded to a certain extent. Iwahashi Shinichi held on to the suspension ring and let his body sway with the frequency of the train. There was a cosmetics advertising poster posted in the carriage. Actress Yuko Furotegawa gently pressed her burgundy lipstick to her lips. , with a beautiful and moving expression. Iwahashi Shinichi was bored and stared at the poster for a long time.
Then he thought in his heart that he really wanted to pinch Yuko Furotegawa's ears. They were so cute.
When they arrived at the place where they agreed to meet, Yoshida Miwato had already arrived first. At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi noticed that she wore a similar color lipstick to the one he saw in the advertisement today. This coincidence made him very interesting.
Iwahashi Shinichi was in front, and Yoshida Miwa was a shoulder behind him. The two of them walked on the streets lined with high-rise buildings. When they reached Uchikocho, there was Hibiya Park in front of them.
On Sunday, the park was full of families and couples. They found an empty bench and sat down. They were surrounded by young men and women who were in love. There were only two of them. You can tell by looking at it that we're not dating.
Shinichi Iwahashi opened his backpack and took out a staff and a pen. Miwa Yoshida came up to look at it and said, "It's really amazing."
"Honestly, to me, these notes are just tadpoles crawling on a grid."
Iwahashi Shinichi said of her: "This metaphor is really nondescript."
"No way, I'm just a layman." Yoshida Miwa smiled, "Since I was a child, I can't understand or learn this thing no matter what."
That's probably because the talent points have been diverted to other places.
Next, Iwahashi Shinichi pointed out to her what she didn't understand. Because she couldn't read music, he had to hum the song. He stopped when he was unsure about the place, and then Yoshida Miwa took over and sang repeatedly. several times.
After so much fussing and revising, Iwahashi Shinichi finally breathed a sigh of relief and announced: "That's it."
Yoshida Miwa happily took over the determined music score.
At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "I'm curious, how did you come up with these songs?"
"Well," Miwa Yoshida thought about it, "When I'm in a good mood, I like to sing. I sing whatever comes to my mind. As I sing, inspiration gradually comes, naturally." She tapped her head with her fingers. , "It just came out."
"It seems that what I just said will be returned to you intact," Shinichi Iwahashi said with a smile, "'That's awesome.'"
This kind of genius favored by God makes people unable to envy her. Instead, they sincerely hope that she can succeed.
Iwahashi Shinichi delivered the music score and the three audition tapes to Yoshida Miwa. It was already noon, and Yoshida Miwa suggested that they go have something to eat together.
The two packed up their belongings, got up and walked outside. Passing the schematic route map of the park, Yoshida Miwa stopped and pointed to the fan-shaped part on the map, "Hibiya Outdoor Music Hall."
"The first time I went to Tokyo by myself was when I was fourteen, to watch Yumi-san's concert at Hibiya Outdoor Concert Hall," she said.
