We agreed to watch my sister record, but my sister closed the curtains.
Is this some kind of recording rule?
Yumiko Kamaike had questions all over her head, while sound engineer Kamio communicated with Sachiko Kamaike through the microphone as if nothing had happened. After being confused for a while, she realized it later and asked herself: What does she want to watch next?
The curtains in the recording studio are quite stylish...
At this time, she was the only one in the recording studio except for the sound engineer and her sister who were working. The environment of the recording studio was so quiet that a layman would feel uncomfortable staying there for the first time.
Yumiko Kamaiike was forgotten here by her sister. She looked around for a while, but it was not interesting and it was not easy to move around casually. She picked up the magazine on the coffee table and passed the time.
Although he came here to visit the recording studio, he ended up reading a weekly magazine in the studio. As Yumiko Kamaiike flipped through it, she was secretly amused by this strange situation.
However, now that she has followed her and seen her sister's working environment, Kamaike Yumiko has been relieved for a long time. She plans to return to Qinye's home later and tell her parents and younger brother about all this to reassure them.
Especially, I want to tell my mother who has always supported my sister’s dream. The Puchi family has a good relationship and is considerate of each other. It is an old-fashioned but reliable family.
Kamai Yumiko was calculating and flipping through the magazine in her hand.
This is a comprehensive weekly, but the gossip and information in the entertainment industry takes up more than half of the space. She is not very interested in the gossip in the entertainment industry, and she does not believe in short essays without pictures and facts. A magazine has
Half of it was hastily turned over by her.
And among the titles of a bunch of small essays whose authenticity is unknown, there is a rather provocative title: "Sister vs. Sister? Akiho Nakamori: To prove that I am who I am."
Kamai Yumiko felt confused for a moment.
Who is Akiho Nakamori? However, this name looks like sisters to Akina-san.
She turned to this page and found that this was not a made-up essay, but an interview. The first few lines revealed the identity of Akiho Nakamori.
"This summer, the sister of the top idol also decided to enter the entertainment industry."
She is indeed Akina-san's sister.
However, after confirming that Akiho Nakamori was really Akina Nakamori's sister, Yumiko Kamaike looked at the pictures in this magazine and subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable.
Published together with the interview were several photos of Akiho Nakamori. She was dressed boldly, and I don’t know if it was the angle deliberately chosen by the photographer, but she did look somewhat similar to her sister Akina Nakamori.
Akina Nakamori doesn't like to wear revealing clothes, but her younger sister chose to take such a bold route when she debuted, which is completely the opposite of her elder sister.
However, Akina Nakamori and Akiho Nakamori are sisters who are only one year apart in age. They have similar body shapes and similar faces at certain angles. Yumiko Kamaike thought of something, and for a moment, she looked a little embarrassed, but she quickly recovered.
.
Fortunately, no one was paying attention, so she continued to look down.
In this interview, Akiho Nakamori said that after her sister Akina became popular, as a younger sister, she often had the experience of being mistaken for Akina Nakamori.
"So, more than ever, I want to get rid of my sister. I must take a different life path from my sister." She said in the interview.
However, even though he talks about getting rid of his sister, the entire interview, from the title to the content, is inseparable from Akina Nakamori.
Even Nakamori Akiho herself, when she keeps repeating "I am who I am", brings out her sister Akina Nakamori every time she repeats it.
But the more she mentioned "I am me", the more the subtext emphasized "I am Akina's sister!".
"Sister and sister may be almost identical in some aspects, but in more places, Mingsui is Mingsui."
"And in order to prove 'I am myself', Akiho finally decided to shoot this photo album, a photo album with Akiho's own determination. Are Akina and Akiho, elder sister and younger sister, alike?
What a difference, everything is in this photo album."
The entire interview is written in the same way. Although it is written to support Nakamori Akiho in being herself, between the lines, Nakamori Akina is constantly mentioned, and even emphasizes that "some aspects of elder sister and younger sister are one."
This way of writing, the subtext is guiding the audience to associate Nakamori Akiho with Nakamori Akina. They are similar in age, grew up together, maybe wore the same clothes, and took a bath in the same bathtub.
Since they have similar body shapes and somewhat similar looks, are some parts of their bodies also similar?
Kamaike Yumiko almost immediately thought about how the audience would react to Akiho Nakamori's photo book, which was meant to prove "I am who I am".
The reason why she is so sensitive may have something to do with her younger sister, who is also an older sister.
Although she had never told anyone about it, when she first learned that her sister had become a photo model, Kamaike Yumiko felt very shy.
There is a two-year age difference between her and her sister, and it is recognized that they have similar looks and similar body shapes.
However, when Yumiko Kamaiike was shy and troubled by her sister's choice, she did not blame her sister for the path she wanted to take. Instead, she decided to think for her sister and imagine her sister's mood when she made this decision.
In the process of thinking, Yumiko Kamaichi understood one thing: she and her sister are two completely different people, with different dreams, different life goals, and different choices and pursuits for their own lives.
I am me, and my sister is my sister.
Kamai Yumiko realized this more clearly than usual.
With this understanding, she no longer feels shy as long as her sister can hold her head high for her own life.
Not only did she not feel embarrassed because her sister was a photo model, but she cheered for her sister in her heart, hoping that she could realize her dream as soon as possible.
Ordinarily, Akiho Nakamori has her own life, and she is free to do what she wants.
However, she kept saying that she wanted to be herself, but in fact she tried every means to make others associate her with Akina Nakamori. It seemed that she wanted to get rid of her sister, but in fact she tried to imitate her sister in everything.
A discerning person will know at a glance that she is borrowing the fame of Akina Nakamori, rather than really trying to "be herself".
If you fall into such a vicious circle, you will not only fail to be yourself, but you will also lose yourself. Kamaike Yumiko's mental journey made her feel particularly profound when looking at this matter.
However, for the general public who have never considered these issues, when they read this interview and see Akiho Nakamori's photo album, they will only think of "the younger sister borrows her sister's spotlight to debut and take photos".
thing.
Kamike Yumiko was filled with emotion, but she was also curious in her heart, does Akina-san know about this?
Is this her tacit consent on the premise of knowing about this matter, or is she kept in the dark? If she knows but acquiesces, how does she feel about acquiescing to her sister to borrow her light? If she does not know, she suddenly hears
How will you feel about this matter?
Yumiko Kamaiike, who is not very interested in entertainment industry gossip, is not so much curious about the top idol's family affairs as she is curious about how this top idol views her sister's declaration of "I want to be myself" and how completely she is related to this declaration.
An unrelated approach.
Yumiko Kamaiike was thinking about this interview when she suddenly heard the door of the recording studio being knocked twice from the outside. She subconsciously turned her face to the door.
There was a knock on the door, and the doorknob was turned open.
"please."
The first person to come in was a young man, and the person he was talking to was a very capable-looking professional woman. Judging from his natural behavior, he seemed to come here often.
Staff? Kamai Yumiko was a little nervous, closed the magazine and stood up.
Her sister was recording inside, and Kamaike Yumiko didn't know how to deal with the strange staff who suddenly came over. It was only then that she realized the value of the almost boring solitude just now.
…
Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe walked to the recording studio.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw an unknown girl standing in front of the sofa. He stared at the door a little at a loss. To be precise, he and Wanyumi Watanabe walked in.
However, even though he had never seen her before, this face looked a bit familiar. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her calmly, but said nothing. He just nodded to her, "Hello."
Watanabe Wan Yumi thought she was a staff member of the recording studio and greeted her politely.
Kamai Yumiko hurriedly returned the gift, but since she didn't know the identity of the visitor, she wasn't sure how to introduce herself.
Iwahashi Shinichi took a few steps inside, glanced at the console, saw the curtains drawn up, and said casually: "Tachichi-san is recording."
"The curtains are drawn up." Watanabe Mayumi also looked at the console, "Do you want to draw up the curtains when Kamachi-san is recording?"
She rarely goes into recording studios, but she has heard many musicians’ quirks when recording, so she doesn’t find it strange that Kamaiike Sachiko records with the curtains closed.
"Because the effect is better when the curtains are closed, she seems to be more comfortable." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, looked at Kamai Yumiko, and asked politely: "How long has it been since the recording started?"
"this……"
Kamai Yumiko was suddenly thrown off the topic, as if she had gotten a big hot yam, she hurriedly reacted, and then replied: "About thirty minutes?"
She wasn't sure.
"A round is forty minutes."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't pay attention to her clumsiness, looked at his watch, and walked to the console.
The sound engineer Kamio sensed someone approaching, raised his head and saw that it was Shinichi Iwahashi, and turned his head again. The work was in progress, and he couldn't care less about nodding and greetings.
Shinichi Iwahashi took a monitoring headset and handed it to Watanabe Wanyumi, and put one on himself.
When the curtains are closed, people here don't know what's going on over there, and Sachiko Kamaike over there doesn't know that there are two more people on the other side listening to her singing.
She is still concentrating on her recording.
While staying together in Karuizawa, the band finalized the lyrics for their debut single and album, and roughly decided how to arrange the music. After returning to Tokyo, they entered the formal recording stage.
As the band's lyricist, she has greater autonomy than ordinary singers. Therefore, during the recording, Kamaike Yukiko would improvise from time to time, changing the lyrics, or discussing with the recording engineer whether to raise or lower the key.
Category.
Entering the recording studio, this kind of autonomy gave Kamai Sachiko more self-confidence. This self-confidence also includes being uncompromising and making demands from the recording engineer and teammates, rather than simply completing the singing task.
And this kind of self-confidence is also related to Iwahashi Shinichi's tolerance. He always responded with an encouraging attitude towards Kamai Sachiko's uncompromising attitude.
The chief producer was supportive and the sound engineer was extremely cooperative.
So, at the end of the forty-minute recording and about to enter the rest period, Shinichi Iwahashi heard through the monitor headphones Kamaike Sachiko asking the sound engineer, "Ueio-san, can you sing the chorus part again?"
Kamio glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi, communicated with her, listened to her ideas, and agreed.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi also accompanied Kamaike Sachiko for a while.
Only Kamike Yumiko, the two strangers who suddenly came in forgot about her and joined the lineup in the prison cell. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Being forgotten was better than meeting strangers face to face.
What to say the situation is much better.
…
After Sachiko Kamaike sang it again, she finally entered the rest stage. She took a short rest first, and then listened to the result of her just recording.
She took off her headphones and opened the door to the recording room, but was startled for a moment.
"Iwahashi-san, Watanabe-san." Sachiko Kamaike greeted the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Shinichi Iwahashi and Wan Yumi Watanabe would come over. Sachiko Kamaike was surprised, but later she remembered her sister who came to the recording studio with her.
We discussed this matter with the staff and teammates about bringing my sister to the recording studio as a guest, but Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know about it.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kamachi-san." Watanabe Manyumi said.
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded at her and praised, "The last reprise was pretty good."
After receiving the compliment, Kamaike Sachiko lowered her head slightly.
Then, she introduced Kamai Yumiko to the two of them, "...Today, I brought my sister to the recording studio."
Kamai Yumiko then got the opportunity to formally introduce herself. Under the introduction of her sister, she greeted the two of them, "I am Kamai Yumiko, and I'm causing trouble here."
"Kachi-san's sister?"
Watanabe Manyumi looked at Yumiko Kamaike, then at Sachiko Kamaike, and smiled politely, "You two are quite similar."
…It turned out to be not a staff member.
After the identity was revealed, recalling the clumsy reaction of Yumiko Kamaiike when she first came in, it was indeed not like someone who often spends time in the recording studio.
However, didn’t Shinichi Iwahashi know that she was not a staff member?
Watanabe Manyumi subconsciously looked at Iwahashi Shinichi, wanting to see what his expression was like.
