After understanding the meaning of the lyrics sung by Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori also confirmed one thing.
Why did Tokiko Kato send her this song and leave a message saying that she wanted her to sing this song? In fact, she already had an answer in her mind.
Of course, her voice matches the song very well, but besides that, sending such a song may not not have a persuasive meaning.
When persuading people, you have to risk being disliked, especially when persuading people on emotional issues. Thinking of this, Nakamori Akina couldn't help but feel grateful to Kato Tokiko, a gentle senior.
At the same time, when she first heard the song demo, the tears she shed were also because the lyrics of the song seemed to be a portrayal of her current relationship.
Akina Nakamori couldn't help but feel sad for her relationship, which was crumbling like a shipwreck but unable to dock.
I would ask Shinichi Iwahashi, "Do you want to listen to that demo?", and ask him, "Why did Kato-san send you this song?" It was like standing opposite him, shouting silently at him.
Can you reach out to me?!
It was obviously not a beautiful song at all, but when Nakamori Akina heard it, she felt an indescribable touch, as if she was being persuaded.
At the same time, his way of not persuading or telling answers directly, but expressing implicitly through singing lyrics, made Nakamori Akina deeply impressed by his thoughtful behavior and leaving room for leeway, and also felt his gentleness.
It was this person who pulled Okada Yukiko back from the edge of the cliff. Thinking of this, Nakamori Akina's heart warmed up. Then, even she developed an incredible trust in Iwahashi Shinichi.
These hands that once held the life standing on the edge of the cliff were indeed so warm and powerful.
…
But that's all.
Not only Shinichi Iwahashi, but probably Akina Nakamori herself also knew that even though she held these hands, the problem was still not solved after she let go.
Because Shinichi Iwahashi cannot take this step for her.
Hopeless love is different from a sudden thought of death. If the person on the edge of the cliff uses all his strength to pull her back, she can be saved.
However, people who are lost in the boundless wilderness, even if they know where the direction is, still need to rely on their own legs and the paddle in their hands to get out of the wilderness as they wish.
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about Akina Nakamori's mood when she listened to this song, how she felt when she invited him over to listen to this song, and how she felt when she asked him questions one after another.
However, he himself did not know what persuasion could bring.
It's easy and thankless to persuade people about relationships. Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't have any life mentor-like obligation to Nakamori Akina. If he has this kind of power to guide people,
Everything Nakamori Akina faced seemed very simple to an outsider.
It's nothing more than a scumbag who keeps cheating on Taopusida and still follows her closely. If you ask a hundred people, a hundred people will answer, "If you don't break up, can you still celebrate the New Year?"
Does Nakamori Akina herself not understand such a thing?
The reason why she couldn't make a decision was because there was too much "noise" around her.
As an outsider, what I see is simply from one to two, but for Nakamori Akina who is in it, she has to consider all aspects.
Outsiders don't understand them, they just see a scumbag who keeps cheating, but the scumbag Nakamori Akina sees, his scumbag is mixed with many other things.
There may be nostalgia for the good old days, there may also be the isolation and helplessness of not being able to get support from family members, and the timidity of not wanting to admit that the sacrifice of one's youth is not worth it...
She had to sort out these complicated things before she could get rid of the most fundamental rot.
If in the eyes of outsiders, there is only one signpost leading to the "right road", in her own eyes, there may be a hundred.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt that forceful persuasion was irresponsible.
…
With such pointed lyrics, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't believe that Nakamori Akina's intelligence and delicacy couldn't be felt.
Even though she knew that it was such a sad song and that singing it would remind people of her current situation and make the audience sigh, "Is this the sadness of a woman?", she still picked it out from countless demos and made it her new song.
Released as a single.
Thinking of this, and her consistent style of pursuing innovation and breakthroughs, Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly felt a little concerned about one thing.
If Tokiko Kato sent such a song to Akina Nakamori because the song suited her voice, and at the same time had some good intentions to persuade her to get out of her own way as soon as possible, and told her that she hoped she could sing it.
So, for what reason did Akina Nakamori decide to sing this song?
Is it because this song fits her voice? Is it because this song contains her inner voice? Or, is she using this song to persuade herself and accuse her heartless boyfriend? Or is it to express her feelings for others?
of what?
Shinichi Iwahashi believed that there might be all these reasons, but he didn’t believe it was just for this reason.
Akina Nakamori has always been independent in her own music and pursued innovation. She can be said to be a pioneer of pop music in this era. Even if she wants to use a song to express her feelings, if she can use this song as the main song, she must have a musical reason for her existence.
Or Akina Nakamori has delicate emotions, but Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't believe that she is a little girl who is completely at a loss after falling into a hopeless love, and who decides to give up regardless of hearing such a song that contains her heartfelt feelings.
People with ordinary personalities will not grow rapidly on the stage with such momentum.
Thinking of this, Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Akina Nakamori and suddenly asked: "Nakamori-san, have you started recording this song now?"
Akina Nakamori had not yet come out of the tenderness she felt just now. She was startled for a moment and nodded slightly, appearing to be a bit obedient, "It has already begun."
"How's the progress going?"
"Hmm..." She thought for a while, "About two-thirds of it. I have made several versions, but overall, I am still not satisfied with it, so I am still revising it."
"I would like to ask you," he said, "may I hear your version of it?"
"Why?"
Akina Nakamori was a little confused, but she still asked the sound engineer Nakata, "Nakata-san, can I ask you a favor?"
"Yes, yes." Nakata was also a little confused.
However, Akina Nakamori said it herself, and he went to prepare it.
