After the third period of Band Heaven ends, White Day will be held within two days.
On this day, it started to wind in the morning, and then it started to rain in the evening. It was freezing outside. But even so, the cold rain could not extinguish the passion of people in love, just as the cold rain could not extinguish the passion of lovers.
The torch in the hands of the dead group.
Evenly matched.
As soon as the clock hit five o'clock, Masato Nakamura began to prepare for retreat.
Miwa Yoshida didn't even raise her head, she was writing and drawing with the pencil in her hand, complaining: "I didn't expect Masato-san to have such a strong enthusiasm for this festival promoted by a merchant."
The only country in the world that celebrates White Day with such grandeur is Japan, which invented the White Day.
Masato Nakamura didn't care about the complaints from Miwa-chan, and said with a smile: "A holiday that is promoted is a holiday that is promoted. Even if there is no 'White Day', there will be a 'Purple Valentine's Day.'"
To put it bluntly, these couples just want to seize the opportunity to show off their affection.
Ms. Cuiping not only gives people the courage to express their love and tells everyone the true truth that there is no such thing as if, she also ruthlessly exposes the idea of couples that "actually they love the right person and spend Valentine's Day every day."
Miwa Yoshida raised her head, "Then, I wish Masato-san and his girlfriend a happy holiday."
Nakamura Masato happily accepted the blessing and boasted a bit: "For White Valentine's Day, I wrote a song specifically for her. I racked my brains when writing the lyrics, and the effect must be good."
"Hai, hai."
Miwa Yoshida thought of his lyrical masterpiece "owothree, four, the rhymes match, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss three times" and silently classified Masato Nakamura into the category of "feeling good about myself".
In the past few days, Shinichi Iwahashi has been focusing on the production of Chisato Moritaka's new single and rarely shows up in the recording studio. The new song "lat.43°n~forty-three degrees north latitude~" will be performed on the fourth episode of Band Heaven.
", the arrangement work was handed over to Masato Nakamura, and he came over again at about the same time for joint practice.
The song I chose has such a long title, and both Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura complained: "What kind of weird title is this?"
"43 degrees north latitude is 43 degrees north latitude." Miwa Yoshida said matter-of-factly, "43 degrees north latitude is Sapporo. It was originally written about long-distance love."
She is the boss of the lyrics and she has the final say, so the title of the song is up to her.
…
Nakamura Masato didn't care what Miwa-chan was thinking, and happily enjoyed his two-person world. As soon as he left, only Miwa Yoshida and herself were left in the recording studio.
She put on her headphones and listened to the music written by Masato Nakamura over and over again, thinking up lyrics that she could fill in.
During this period of time, Miwa Yoshida suddenly learned how to write lyrics for music written by others. She couldn't learn to read music, and she had little knowledge of music theory. She relied on intuition to do things, which made this work very difficult.
She has been teaching her how to write lyrics for other people's songs since the band was formed. These days, the band's competition in heaven is going well, and their debut is just around the corner, which makes this task even more urgent.
If she wants to make a mainstream debut, if the entire band relies entirely on her innate inspiration, it would be too willful and not a long-term solution.
Compared with inspiration that you don’t know when it will come or when it will leave, professional and traceable music production is more reassuring and can ensure the band’s long-term performance.
Best-selling songs seem to be a matter of destiny, but in fact, in which period and with what kind of structure, songs are more likely to sell well, and there are patterns that can be found.
Such a pattern is difficult to grasp for Miwa Yoshida, who relies on his talent.
Immersed in my own world, I wrote and crossed out, corrected and corrected with the pencil in my hand.
Finally, Miwa Yoshida let out a sigh of contentment and wrote the last line. She took off her headphones, hummed with the lyrics book, and after confirming that it was correct, she said to the recording studio where she was the only one: "It's done."
No one said "Great!" in response. Instead, the hunger in her stomach attacked her rashly, fearing that she would feel disappointed because she didn't get a response.
Looking at my watch, it's almost eight o'clock.
"this late?"
Miwa Yoshida muttered something, packed up her things, and left the recording studio.
…
The rain had stopped in the evening, but the air was damp and cold.
Miwa Yoshida was walking alone on the street, occasionally passing by couples walking together. She was in a good mood, humming a song in her nose, and walked into the restaurant where the three of them frequented.
After opening the curtain, the store was not too busy at this time. The boss had known her for a long time and greeted her: "Are you coming here alone today?"
"Yes." Yoshida Miwa smiled, not caring about eating alone at all, "It's too cold today, so I really want to eat the boss's cooking."
"The weather this spring is unusual... However, in previous years, it has snowed at this time of year." The boss quickly prepared what she ordered.
"Speaking of which," he looked at Miwa Yoshida and asked, "Have you joined the band Heaven?"
Yoshida Miwa was not surprised at all, nor did she find the question abrupt, so she naturally replied: "Yes."
"I'm just telling you, I felt the same when I was watching TV." The boss said, "The name of the band is Dolimuzcom Tulu, right?"
"That's right!" Yoshida Miwa showed a big smile.
"The night before yesterday, some customers who came to the store asked me to adjust the TV to Channel Asahi." The boss said, "They said it was a pleasure to watch your show. My son even praised you for being cute."
"Really? Thank you!" Even Yoshida Miwa smiled happily after receiving the compliment.
Of course, before seeing them on TV, the store owner always thought they were underground musicians who couldn't find serious jobs and couldn't make a name for themselves.
Both parties are well aware of this, but neither one will challenge it.
"The two people who often come with you are your teammates, right?"
The boss chatted with her, "I recognize Mr. Bassist too, but Mr. Keyboardist is wearing a hood. Is this the band's 'setting'?"
From his mouth came a word that was not expected from a person of his age. It was probably something he heard from his son.
Miwa Yoshida neither answered "yes" nor "no", but changed the topic and said: "Please support me in the next episode of the program, boss."
"Of course." The boss smiled and said, "I was just about to say, work hard for the next show. If you can make your debut, I will have something to say."
The ordered mixed rice was brought to the table. Miwa Yoshida took a bite of the steaming radish and once again breathed out from the heat, but she still said: "It's delicious!"
…
“This sea bream dish is good.”
"It's delicious." Shinichi Iwahashi tasted a little and agreed.
At this time, he was having dinner with the fat young man Yasushi Akimoto. He had dinner with Yasushi Akimoto on White Day. Well, it was just an ordinary social interaction.
How could the merchants take this kind of holiday marketed by merchants seriously?
Not to mention White Day, it’s Valentine’s Day, and office workers should still do whatever they need to do.
"Teacher Akimoto," the timing was about right, Iwahashi Shinichi brought up the matter just now, "What do you think about providing lyrics for Chisato Moritaka's c/w song?"
I met Yasushi Akimoto today to discuss the b-side of Chisato Moritaka's new single.
The star of the A-side has decided to cover Minami Saori's "17 Years Old", and the progress in this aspect has been more than half, but the c/w song has not been decided yet.
The c/w song has a bit of a bonus in it, and its importance is incomparable with the title song of side A. Many singers carefully select the song for side A, and just choose a similar song for side B.
As for Chisato Moritaka's new single, since the A-side song is a cover, the B-side song needs to be a supplement. Choose one carefully and don't just do it perfunctorily.
The b-side song was selected from Warner Pioneer's music library, and in terms of lyrics, Shinichi Iwahashi once again thought of the fat young man Yasushi Akimoto.
The reason why I thought of him first was not because I only knew this one lyricist, but because the theme of the b-side song he had decided on would have been easy for this fat young man to write.
When making "17 Years Old", the coincidences about "17" made the entire team believe that it was a good idea to choose this song to cover.
At that time, Chisato Moritaka's executive producer said, "It's a pity that Moritaka is nineteen. If he were seventeen, it would be a perfect coincidence."
As a result, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't take it seriously, "If the coincidence is that perfect, it will seem to be deliberate. If it is slightly staggered, it will be more interesting."
"Besides, nineteen is a very interesting age just like seventeen."
Seventeen years old is the age between adults and teenagers, the age of maturity. In Japan, where adults reach adulthood at the age of twenty, nineteen years old is the final "immature period".
After crossing the threshold of nineteen years old and participating in the completion of human form, everything will be completely different.
When I first met Miwa-chan, Iwahashi Shinichi was nineteen years old. At that time, Miwa-chan also made such a speech to him. Once he passed nineteen and entered twenty, he became a real adult.
So what if it's not a perfect coincidence of being seventeen?
This nineteen-year-old, who is as special as the seventeen-year-old, still has a lot of room for development.
Yasushi Akimoto, a chubby young man who has only been in the Kitten Club and has written a lot of lyrics full of girly hearts, makes people suspect that there is actually a girl living in his heart. He must also have a good grasp of the subtleties of age.
Exquisite, it can be said that Shinichi Iwahashi is the best lyricist who can write about girls that I can think of.
Besides, please write the lyrics for the b-side song. In addition to money, you also have to have some face.
Yasushi Akimoto may not be the best lyricist who writes about girls, but he is a lyricist that Shinichi Iwahashi knows and has some respect for him.
So, after deciding on the topic, he called Akimoto Yasu's office.
The fat young man Qiu Yuanyasu did not reply immediately, but asked him to come out to have dinner with him for an interview.
At this time, hearing Iwahashi Shinichi mentioning business again, Akimoto Yasu thought for a moment, "Is this Sentaka Mori the girl who provided her with the lyrics last time?"
"Yes." Iwahashi Shin felt a little unsure when he heard him ask this.
Speaking of which, it can be considered a bit of fate.
When I took over Chisato Moritaka, I asked Yasushi Akimoto to help write the lyrics for the first single I produced and the title song. When I asked Yasushi Akimoto to help me write it, Iwahashi Shinichi casually mentioned the ghost card reality show.
planning.
This project helped Akimoto Yasu regain his confidence and postponed his original plan to study in the United States. He stayed in Japan and worked on this program with Fuji TV.
During this period, Iwahashi Shinichi was also called to attend several private gatherings with Fuji TV producers, and they discussed some details about the program. His ideas were his. Even if they were mentioned casually, his opinions were of great reference value.
.
Now, this program is scheduled to be broadcast on the late night slot on Tuesdays in April.
By the time the show started airing, Iwahashi Shinichi would be the only one who had programs related to himself on two TV stations at the same time. Although one only contributed an idea and was not as fully involved as the other.
But even so, even if he was not in the cast and crew list after the broadcast, the producers of Fuji TV already had his name.
"That's quite interesting." Yasushi Akimoto smiled, "If it weren't for Shinichi-kun asking me to write lyrics for her, I wouldn't be able to hear such interesting ideas from you. To be honest, it's all thanks to her."
"No, the fact that the trip was possible is due to Teacher Akimoto and everyone at the production bureau."
Yasushi Akimoto accepted the courtesy and asked: "What kind of lyrics are you going to write about?"
If you can ask this question, the matter will be more than half settled. Iwahashi Shinichi then told everything about his thoughts and asked: "What do you think, Teacher Akimoto?"
"The theme is '19 years old'." Yasushi Akimoto narrowed his eyes.
After thinking for a while, "As for Shinichi-kun's idea, Chisato Moritaka is the so-called 'Hua Yinzi'. If you think about it this way, let's just think of it as repaying the favor of this Hua Yinzi."
"so?"
"Send the music to my office later, Shinichi-kun."
After finishing the meal, Iwahashi Shinichi came out of the restaurant with a keen sense, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Qiu Yuanyasu glanced at him.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "Nothing." He just felt like someone was staring at him. However, when two grown men went out to eat, they were neither afraid of being robbed of their money nor their sex, so he didn't take it seriously.
Qiu Yuanyasu didn't ask any further questions, "I have other plans, so I'll leave first."
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.
A taxi came and Yasushi Akimoto got in.
…
After the car started, Akimoto Yasu reported an address.
Today is White Day. The promotional tricks of candy merchants have turned into a sacred holiday in the hearts of lovers. However, rather than saying that these people really believe in the sanctity of White Day, it is better to say that they have similar thoughts to the candy merchants.
Candy merchants use White Day to promote gifts, and lovers use White Day to promote relationships.
However, even though they knew it was a promotional trick by the merchant, the people who bought the gifts were still very happy. Even though they knew it was a chance for men and women to take this opportunity to promote their relationship, at least they felt comfortable when they got it.
Akimoto Yasu's thoughts were divided into two.
On one side is myself who looks at this kind of promotional gimmick with a cold eye, and on the other side is myself who enjoys this kind of promotional gimmick.
