"Why is haircut so popular?" Miwa Yoshida was confused.
"Nothing." Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her short hair. Compared with the fashion of girls on the street today, Miwa Yoshida is quite unique.
"Why did you suddenly think of cutting your hair short?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.
"Two days ago, I went to Yoyogi and saw that all the girls on the street had either curly hair or fluffy perms, and they also had outdated saint-child hairstyles. It seemed like all the girls lined up to buy some.
Same ice cream."
"If you use ice cream as an analogy, you won't be able to eat ice cream in the future," Iwahashi Shinichi said.
"It doesn't matter, my appetite has always been good." Yoshida Miwa said nonchalantly.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled bitterly, "Okay."
"...Anyway, I felt that it was boring, so I wanted to change my hairstyle. But when I went to the beauty salon, it was still the same, so I might as well cut it short." Speaking of this, Yoshida Miwa smiled, "It's quite fresh, right?
?”
"Fresh." Shin Iwahashi nodded, "Like oranges just picked from the branches."
Hearing this, Miwa Yoshida said to him with satisfaction, "Now come closer and smell it, there is still the fragrance of oranges."
The two then stepped forward.
Walking past the shrine, this stretch of road is called "Walker's Paradise". On weekends, it becomes a paradise for teenagers to gather, and many popular cultures were born here.
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the youth pop culture of the "bamboo shoots" emerged here.
On weekends, a large number of young people wearing strange clothes gather here, bringing cassette recorders, playing disco music, and collectively dancing a dance called "parapara dance".
The characteristic of this dance is that it pays attention to the neat and consistent movements, and it is always organized into group activities. The strange costumes between the groups are often quite harmonious and unified, coupled with the performance of the amplified dance music and the venue of the activity in the square in front of the Jingu...
Square dance?
This sense of déjà vu.
Any place where teenagers gather will inevitably attract the attention of talent scouts.
The star Hiroyuki Okita, who sang the opening theme song "Burning Heroes" (Burning Heroes) of the animated film "Captain Tsubasa", was a member of the bamboo shoot family who came to Walker's Paradise on weekends to dance in the square before he was discovered as an artist.
However, after experiencing the peak period of Japanese square dance (crossed out), the Bamboo Shoots clan could not escape the fate of prosperity and decline. Its influence in Harajuku dropped greatly and it gradually declined.
Instead, there are amateur bands who have recently used this pedestrian paradise as a stage to perform on the street.
However, today is not a holiday, and you can't see that kind of grand scene on this street.
The wind was sunny and the asphalt road shone with gray light in the sun. As he was walking, Yoshida Miwa suddenly said to him: "Iwahashi-san, there is something I want to tell you."
"oh?"
"I resigned from Odyssey." Miwa Yoshida announced to him.
"Why?" Iwahashi Shinichi was a little stunned and couldn't help turning his face to look at her.
Although Yoshida Miwa did not prosper in Odyssey, everything went smoothly and there was no reason to resign.
"I look down on places where people are jealous of other people's talents and scheming over trivial matters." Miwa Yoshida said firmly, "Staying there is like being next to rotten fruit, and sooner or later you will be tainted with the smell of rot."
"That's what I said." Shinichi Iwahashi focused on another point, "What will you do with your life after resigning from Odyssey?"
"Don't worry, I don't just have this job, my basic life can still be guaranteed. At most, the place to sing is temporarily gone." She looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "But, because you are here, this won't be a problem.
"
"If it really doesn't work, I might as well eat less first." She made a witty remark.
It's really hers.
After hearing this, Iwahashi Shinichi also laughed, "...Okay, if it really doesn't work, I can eat less first."
Happy to be poor.
Somehow, such a word floated through his mind.
This is the first time in his life that Shinichi Iwahashi has entered a recording studio. Let alone recording songs, he doesn't even sing much, because it has no other advantages except being in tune.
Iwahashi Shinichi generously looked at the various equipment in the recording studio, and his candid expression of novelty made people know at a glance that he was an amateur, but his boyish frankness was a bit cute.
"There is a room opposite this glass wall, and I will sing there later." Noticing his expression, Yoshida Miwa deliberately explained to him.
Already aware of the joking element in her personality, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't take it seriously.
The songs to be recorded were all Yoshida Miwa's own original works. Before coming here, she used the same method as before, and Iwahashi Shinichi helped her dictate the music scores, and then registered the copyright.
Miwa Yoshida's singing skills are astonishing. When she sings, she is as natural as eating and drinking. Even in the recording studio, facing professional equipment and monitoring headphones, there are no too many flaws exposed.
"My skills are amazing." Even the recording engineer who doesn't often praise others in the recording studio was convinced.
However, when it comes to Yoshida Miwa's songs, the reviews are not as unanimous as her singing skills.
Yoshida Miwa, who had already heard enough bad reviews, naturally didn't care. Iwahashi Shinichi, who was well aware of this situation, didn't care either. The two of them recorded the songs seriously. Not only did Yoshida Miwa sing the harmony for herself, but Iwahashi Shinichi also
He played a guest vocal role.
Things didn't go so smoothly for him, and "do it again" became the sentence he heard most these days.
He found that the working rules in the recording studio were particularly interesting. If the singing was not good, the recording engineer would not directly say "no", but "not bad, please do it again", and then "do it again" until "ok".
Being the backing vocalist for once made Shinichi Iwahashi understand two things. First, don't believe in ambiguous words like "good", especially in the recording studio.
As for the second point...
"Iwahashi-san really doesn't have any singing talent." After recording, Miwa Yoshida said to him regretfully.
"Nothing is perfect."
The second point is that even if he changed his identity and name in time and space, he still didn't have the skills to light up his singing skills. A well-qualified karaoke singer is just okay among ordinary people. Putting him with this great god is simply a public execution.
.
"This tone..." Miwa Yoshida laughed at him, "I don't know why it sounded like boasting."
"Where?" Iwahashi Shin said without changing his expression.
The money for recording and arranging was shared equally between the two of them. According to their agreement, the expenses for such matters were shared between the two of them. The money Iwahashi Shinichi made from the work she contacted for her was also shared equally.
