Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 389
"Haruko? Welcome."

At this time, in the recording studio, only Seiichiro Kuribayashi was here.Before going to the appointment, Akamatsu Haruko called the recording studio and said that she would bring friends over.

Therefore, Kuribayashi Seiichiro was not surprised to see a strange girl behind her.

"Excuse me." Puchi Xingzi bowed.

"Hello." Kuribayashi Seiichiro nodded back, and quietly looked at Haruko Akamatsu's friend.She looked several years older than Haruko Akamatsu, obviously not her friend from college.

"Kuribayashi-kun is the composer of GENZO." Haruko Akamatsu acted as the introducer, "This is Kabuchi-san, my friend."

The identity was clear, and the two people who met for the first time greeted each other again.

Seiichiro Kuribayashi served as usher and made tea for the two visitors.

During this time, Sachiko Kuchi looked around the room.When I entered the recording studio for the first time, I used to only see the music equipment on TV when the camera swept past, and now I am right in front of my eyes.

She was both curious and amazed.

Looking at these devices that I don't understand at all, and thinking that music producers manipulate these things that laymen don't know how to start to produce beautiful music, I can't help feeling a kind of reverence for musicians.

When Seiichiro Kuribayashi came out with a tea tray, he saw the curious eyes of this Kuchi-san.Judging by this reaction, it must be the first time for a layman to enter the recording studio.

He guessed that it wasn't because she wanted to see the real recording studio, so Haruko Akamatsu brought her here for sightseeing, right?If that's the case, it's not like Akamatsu Haruko's style.

Besides, this Puchi-sang didn't look frivolous in the recording studio, and he didn't look like a tourist.

"Kuribayashi-kun."

Akamatsu Haruko didn't confuse him for too long, and revealed the answer, "Can you help with the prison?"

"The prison?" Seiichiro Kuribayashi was a little surprised, "Haruko, do you want to sing?" Did she not intend to sing and wanted to go behind the scenes?

"It's not me." Akamatsu Haruko smiled.

The person in the recording studio today is Seiichiro Kuribayashi, which is much more convenient for Haruko Akamatsu.The two are old acquaintances, and now it is more comfortable and convenient to ask him to imprison an outsider.

"Give this Puchi Sang a prison?"

Kuribayashi Seiichiro once again set his sights on Kamaike Sachiko, and he changed a bit.I thought I was here for a visit, but did I come here for an audition?

Puchi Xingzi looked shy, and was embarrassed to bother the stranger, "I'm sorry to bother you."

"That's not necessary." When she said that, Kuribayashi Seiichiro calmed down and stood up, "Please, come and sing.... To be honest, it's the first time for ordinary people to enter the recording studio and hear their own singing , you might be taken aback."

This is not just talking nonsense. Singing in a recording studio is completely different from singing in karaoke. The sound sung through the equipment in the recording studio has no reverberation, no echo, no modification, and it sounds dry. of.

Because there is no modification, there is no way to escape a little bit of inadequacy and a little change in pitch.People who are very confident in their singing voice may be shocked by their own voice if they enter the recording studio.

Akamatsu Haruko got up with Kawachi Sachiko, stood in front of the console, and watched Kamaike Sachiko walk into the opposite recording studio.With a glass wall, she could see Sachiko Puchi on the opposite side, and Sachiko Puchi could see everything outside the recording studio clearly.

As soon as I entered the recording studio, my biggest impression was that it was so quiet, so quiet to a somewhat depressing level.One side is so quiet that it seems that I am the only one in the world, and no matter what happens, no one will appear by my side.

But on the other side, through the glass wall, everything can be seen clearly in the "real world" on the opposite side.

Such a contrast made Sachiko Kamachi, who entered the recording studio for the first time, feel an indescribable uneasiness, as if she had stepped into a strange world.

Through the glass wall, Seiichiro Kuribayashi pointed to the microphone.

Sachiko Kuchi came back to her senses, stood in front of the microphone, picked up the monitor earphones and put them on.

"So, what are you going to sing?" Kuribayashi Seiichiro asked her.

Sachiko Puchi told him, "Ann Lewis' "Roppongi Heart", is it okay?"

"It's amazing." After receiving such an answer, Seiichiro Kuribayashi sighed with emotion, and only said that people should not be judged by their appearance.

Ann Lewis is a rice-Japanese hybrid born in Japan. She first worked as a photo idol in Tokyo. In the early 70s, she debuted as a singer. Add some spiced ballad rock.

In the 80s, he married rock singer Masahiro Kuwana, and his style of music became more and more "heavy". He rushed all the way in the direction of metal rock and became a pioneer of Japanese metal.After a few years of divorce and comeback, this "Roppongi Heart" was released.

Heart in Japanese means to die for love, but "Roppongi Heart" is not a bitter love song about a man and a woman meeting to die for love, but a bold and powerful song.

Rather than saying that a couple of men and women meet to die in love, it is better to say that they are pursuing the ultimate love with the energy of dying in love.

By the way, Ann Lewis lived in Roppongi when she first came to Beijing from her hometown in Kansai to work hard as a photo idol.By the way, when she became a singer, she signed a contract with Wanyumi Watanabe's father's Watanabe Productions.

Watanabe's influence is terrifying...

Sachiko Kamaike, a girl who looks quite quiet, said that she was going to sing "Roppongi Heart", in the eyes of Seiichiro Kuribayashi, it was also a complete contrast.

However, for Sachiko Kamachi, who likes rock music and even thought of becoming a rock singer herself, singing this song in the recording studio is more in line with her own wishes than singing atmospheric ballads in karaoke.

"Then please begin." Kuribayashi Seiichiro ordered.

Sachiko Kuchi looked at the two people who were waiting in front of the opposite console.

The recording studio was so quiet, so quiet that it seemed that no one would care about what was done in it, but there was always someone watching the recording studio from the opposite side. Such an environment made Sachiko Puchi feel a disharmonious contrast.

She moved her eyes away, tried not to look at the opposite side, and then took a deep breath, "one! two! three! Four!" and sang the first line of the song "Roppongi Heart".

……

this is my voice

Coming out of the recording studio, Sachiko Kawachi put on the monitor earphones to listen to her performance just now.As a result, the cry of "one! two! three! Four!" made her feel strange, as if it came from another person.

Sachiko Puchi was still stunned by the authentic voice, but on the other side, Haruko Akamatsu said: "San Puchi's voice is really nice."

Seiichiro Kuribayashi was thoughtful, "Indeed, it's a very nice 'voice'."

Both of them emphasized the sound itself, not the performance of singing.

Although through the recording, the unprofessional aspects of Sachiko Puchi's singing, such as unsteady breathing, a little floating ending, some places are not full enough, and other places are a bit cumbersome, because of nervousness, some places hold her throat and sing, various All kinds of little problems exist.

However, even though she sang in a cold recording studio, Sachiko Kawachi's voice was not compromised at all, and even in this state of no exaggeration, her voice appeared more textured.

"There are too many problems."

Puchi Xingzi felt quite embarrassed when she heard those little flaws in her singing.

But that is to say, if you are not professional, you can find a teacher to correct it, and you can practice it repeatedly. However, this kind of innate talent in the voice cannot be copied the day after tomorrow.

On this side, she was shy and entangled in her singing while wearing monitor headphones, and even felt a little unconfident.On the other hand, Akamatsu Haruko and Kuribayashi Seiichiro talked about something else.

"This Kabuchi-san is very good." Kuribayashi Seiichiro praised, thinking that Akamatsu Haruko specially brought her to the recording studio to audition, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of something, and said to Akamatsu Haruko: "Iwahashi-san today Are you going back to Tokyo?"

Haruko Akamatsu is not an idiot, let alone regard Seiichiro Kuribayashi as an idiot, knowingly, "It should be like this, but the performance is not over yet, and I can't move yet."

She was in charge of sitting on the bench for Yanqiao Shinichi at the TV station, and knew more about his schedule.

"Just let Iwahashi-san listen to it." Seiichiro Kuribayashi said.

Hearing what he said, Akamatsu Haruko also thought in her heart that it would be great if Iwahashi Shinichi could listen to it, but she didn't say anything.

Kuribayashi Seiichiro didn't know, but she knew that Kamachi Sachiko now had an agency and was a model, not an ordinary person she happened to meet in Walker Paradise or LIVEHOUSE.

Even if Yanqiao Shenyi listened to her singing, so what?
Akamatsu Haruko inexplicably felt a little bit of regret, if only she had met her sooner and brought her to Iwahashi-san.

However, what has already happened cannot be changed. Besides, Sachiko Puchi has no regrets about doing her current job.Akamatsu Haruko thought that if she felt sorry for her, it would be that she did not respect her personal life and thoughts enough.

That being the case, let's not think about the problems in front of him, just introduce her to Yanqiao-san as his friend, and let Yanqiao-san know that there is such a person, which is enough.

Afterwards, I must show the record left by this audition to Iwahashi-san.

Akamatsu Haruko made up her mind.At this time, after listening to her own recording, Sachiko Kamachi also took off the monitor earphones.

Kuribayashi Seiichiro praised her, "Kuchi-san, you did pretty well."

The composer of the production company is a professional in the eyes of Sachiko Kamachi.Being praised by professionals, Sachiko Puchi was a little embarrassed, but the lack of self-confidence just now dispelled a little bit.

……

Akamatsu Haruko wants Iwahashi Shinichi to listen to Kawachi Sachiko's recording, but things backfire.

After returning from the performance in Nagoya, Iwahashi Shinichi received a call from Yamauchi Kenichi. When they met, they learned that the office and WINK's record company were there, and agreed to try the production plan proposed by Iwahashi Shinichi.

Since the idea was adopted, it was a matter of course, and won a contract to take over the production of WINK's next two singles.

WINK's record company is POLYSTAR, and this company also participated in the band Tianguo. Representatives sent by the company meet with Iwahashi Shinichi at meetings from time to time.

After taking over WINK, when I met with their representative, the attitude of the other party became more polite.Anyway, participating in the production of their company's singer, Iwahashi Shinichi's identity has also changed with him.

The record company handles at least [-] or [-] newcomers a year, and concentrates resources to promote a few of them. It is a great opportunity to make one of them popular.

As for other debuts at the same time, it’s like a gift when you buy something. It’s the best if it’s easy to use.

Sometimes there are even newcomers from the same record company, and the company intends to promote A. In order not to affect the upward momentum of A, it will deliberately suppress Xuezang B, who has a similar style to the company.

Everything comes first and then there is light and heavy. The agency is well aware that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, and it is rare for newcomers who are pushing at the same time to sign with the same record company.

They are obviously singers from the same firm. At the company’s annual meeting, they sang blessings to the boss and the singer held hands together, but they are also rivals in the music industry, and the producers are jumping back and forth between different companies and singers. The industry is Such an amazing place.

If WINK is packaged according to Shinichi Iwahashi's idea, both the production cost and the promotional cost will increase significantly. Because of this, taking over these two girls is very important for him and for Kenichi Yamauchi who introduced him. under considerable pressure.

Of course, the same goes for the two girls.Having overdrawn so much funds in one breath, if it doesn't become popular, it will have to be given up directly.

But it doesn't matter, since they are all under pressure, the pressure can also make them form a united front, which can actually make them more united.After all, if you don't do well, the game is over here.

……

On the one hand, I have just taken over WINK. Before the work officially starts, I have to have several meetings and communications with the record company, the agency, and the two girls themselves. On the other hand, on Friday afternoon, I have to go on tour as a giraffe boy .

During the period, I also went to the TV station to participate in the recording of the music group.

Although it is not qualified to be on the prime-time audio show, some other programs that have the opportunity to play songs as long as the company is strong can still be on. However, there are not many scheduled shows. In the entire promotion period, only two shows have been recorded so far.

The reason for this is that there is also an intentional element in it.

Rather than making it easy for the audience to see the band perform on TV, I want them to buy records if they want to listen to music, and buy tickets if they want to see a show.

This is not only because it is simply falling into the eyes of money, but also because it is easier to cultivate fans on the spot than on TV.

When you debut, you need loyal supporters.After the basic market is stable, it needs a lot of popularity.

With such an intensive itinerary, it was not easy to meet him in private.Knowing this, Akamatsu Haruko called Iwahashi Shinichi and told him, "Iwahashi-san, I want you to listen to the audition tape."

Yanqiao Shenyi answered the matter on the phone, and told Akamatsu Haruko that he would definitely listen to it when he had time to go to the recording studio.

As a result, the phone was put down, and the whole week was busy.
