Fangcun Otomo was very efficient. He found a music teacher who was said to specialize in training artists to sing just one day later.
Yoshimura Otomo took Nagayama Naoki to a Western-style building. The room was filled with musical instruments and various music books, as well as simple recording equipment. It should be convenient for teaching students to let them listen to their own singing.
"Naoki-san, this is teacher Yukiko Tokunaga from Toho Gakuen University." Upstairs, Naoki Naoyama met a dignified lady who was over forty years old. "She is also a vocal teacher specially hired by our office. She has trained many
How about an idol singer~"
"First meeting, Teacher Yukiko Tokunaga, I am Naoki Nagayama. Please take care of me from now on!" He bowed politely and said hello.
"Hi, it's our first time meeting you, Naoki-kun. Nice to meet you." Tokunaga Yukiko looked very happy when she saw a handsome young man.
"Since both parties know each other, I'll be troublesome for you two later." Yoshimura Otomo nodded to the two of them and went about his business silently.
After the door was closed, Tokunaga Yukiko served Naoki hot tea, and then said: "When I heard Otomo-kun say it, I was very curious. The creator of a famous song can't compose music...
..."
"Hey, it was a sudden inspiration. I have never studied music theory before." Naoki Nagayama also said bluntly, "Last time, I asked a friend to help me compose the music."
"That is, to the point where you have a little melody in your head?"
"No, Teacher Sachiko." Naoki Nagayama took out the lyrics that he had copied, "The lyrics have been written now, and the melody has been basically perfected."
"Ah, that means it's basically a complete song, right?"
"Hey, speaking for myself, I have already sung it, but there is no way for others to know the melody, and there is no way to play it."
Tokunaga Yukiko took over the lyrics: "This is really strange. I have encountered students who can't compose music but said they created songs, but they only had a little melody."
"The lyrics are a bit sad," said the teacher who read the lyrics.
"It's a regretful love song."
"Then I understand. I'll ask Naoki-kun to sing it a cappella first. Judging from the lyrics, it should be an excellent song. I'm looking forward to it~" Tokunaga Yukiko seemed to be moved by the lyrics and took a breath to ease her mood.
Is music so emotionally rich? Nagayama Naoki was a little confused, and then he sang the song "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~" (Sakura Sakura, I want to see you) softly.
Although this song is a girl's song, the male voices also have a unique flavor when singing it, especially Naoki Nagayama's voice, which is smooth and clear, with a jade-like feel.
After singing the song, Sachiko Tokunaga seemed to be still immersed in the song. Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but shout: "Teacher Sachiko?"
"Ah, it's really a good song, and it's also very sad~" Yukiko Tokunaga, "But Naoki-san has never learned to sing... There's something wrong with her singing method. She obviously has a good voice.
"
"Ah?"-_-||
"Haha, then Naoki-san, let's start composing music!" Tokunaga Yukiko was very excited and started working.
Nagayama Naoki didn't even drink tea, so he started composing music with his teacher.
As expected, he is a professional. He and Suzumi Hoshino worked together for almost 3 days before, but Tokukunaga Yukiko was much faster here. After listening to it once, Tokunaga Yukiko wrote out the rough melody, and then asked Naoki Nagayama to
I hummed it slowly several times and compared it to perfect the detailed score.
Finally, I played on the piano at home and asked Naoki Nagayama to correct it.
In total, it took about 3 hours to compose.
"Sokuichi Sachiko, teacher Sachiko. It took me three days to compose the previous music score with my friends, but now it can be finished in less than an afternoon."
Tokunaga Yukiko was more plain: "It's just listening to the songs and composing them. What's so difficult about that?"
She also thought about how many students she had met before who wanted to compose music but couldn't: "The really difficult thing is the process of composing music. Geniuses like Naoki-kun are rare. How many creators have racked their brains.
I can’t write such an excellent melody.”
Nagayama Naoki was very embarrassed, after all, he was copying "future knowledge": "I'm just lucky too."
Then I thought about the request to audition Itou Shuichi and others, so I said to Tokunaga Yukiko: "Ms. Yukiko, I'm a little embarrassed, but can you help me record it again? I want to listen to the complete song for the people in the office.
.”
"There is nothing wrong with the audition, but if there is no accompaniment...can Naoki-san play the piano?" Tokunaga Yukiko asked.
"Private Marseille, I won't..."
"Haha, I should have thought of it," Tokunaga Yukiko thought about it, "How about Naoki-san sing it yourself, your voice is also very good."
"Ah, didn't you just say that my singing style was wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just a piece of music, I can just correct it at any time." Tokunaga Yukiko said that this is her job.
Having said so, what can Nagayama Naoki do... "Hey, I'll give it a try."
Sure enough, it was just a way of singing a song. After correcting it three or four times, Naoki Nagayama could sing it coherently.
Then the music teacher took a blank tape and stuffed it into the tape recorder, and started playing the piano accompaniment while signaling Naoki Nagayama to start singing.
Unexpectedly, everything happened so quickly. A preview version of a divine song "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~" (Sakura Sakura, I Want to See You), which will be sung by later generations, has already been recorded.
Seeing Tokunaga Yukiko skillfully labeling the song, writing the song title, singer, lyrics, and composition, it seems that composing music and singing is not that difficult...
Naoki Nagayama thought that he might recall more songs in the future and that composing music might be indispensable, so he asked: "Teacher Sachiko, can I learn composing and singing from you?"
Tokunaga Yukiko found out that Naoki Nagayama was interested in learning more: "Of course, the agency entrusted me to train artists."
"Not to mention the handsome and talented Professor Naoki-san~"
It's over, will this teacher also covet my beauty?
...
...
Since exercising and paying attention to his appearance, Nagayama Naoki has experienced attention that he never had before. When walking on the street, little sisters will come up to him from time to time.
Fortunately, I usually stay at home and don’t go out much, and I have a car to pick me up.
No wonder those handsome guys wear sunglasses...
With such random thoughts, Yoshimura Otomo parked the car under Waseda's apartment.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Otomo-san."
"Silly Tape, this is the agent's job, uh... this is the responsibility of the agency." Yoshimura Otomo almost mistook Nagayama Naoki for an artist in the agency.
"Haha, Otomo-san, please bring this audition tape to Itou Shuichi-san and listen to it to see if it can be used as background music for an advertisement."
"Hi, it will definitely be delivered."
“Thank you very much.”
Naoki Nagayama didn't go upstairs until he couldn't see the taillights of Yoshimura Otomo's car.
As I walked, I thought, it looks like I really want to buy a car...
