Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 400 400. Irreplaceable
"Is Puchi-sang a little nervous?"

Suddenly being asked this question, Sachiko Puchi was taken aback for a moment as if she was about to consider how to react.

Through the glass wall, the expression on her face was clearly seen.Yanqiao Shinichi smiled and expressed comfort, "Is it too presumptuous? But, I'm a little hard to hear your voice."

Iwahashi Shinichi asked Kawachi Sachiko to sing the song she wanted to sing, and Kawachi Sachiko finally chose Takahashi Mariko's "For you..." to sing.

This song was released in 1982, which is longer than "Roppongi Heart". At that time, Sachiko Kuchi was still a high school student.But no matter which one it is, it is a famous song worth listening to repeatedly and enough to be handed down.

From rock to ballad, from the selection of these two songs, we can understand the taste of Sachiko Kamachi in listening to music.

However, Sachiko Kamachi, who sings ballads, is lacking compared to the performance of "Roppongi Heart".It's not that she can't sing well, but that her voice is perfect for rock and roll, and singing ballads can't fully bring out that unique charm.

In addition, it is the question mentioned by Iwahashi Shinichi.

"Not only the song "For you..." that I sang just now, but also when I listened to your audition tape of "Roppongi Heart"." Iwahashi Shinichi has golden ears, and he can't hide any minor problems in singing from him.

It is inevitable for newbies who have just entered the recording studio to be nervous, and they will gradually relax after singing more times.The reason why I asked specifically was to confirm whether it was really nervous, or whether it belonged to a certain characteristic in her voice.

nervous?Sachiko Puchi was about to nod, recalling the state of mind in the recording room twice, she shook her head slightly, "I don't think I should be nervous."

"Oh?" Shinichi Yanqiao showed polite curiosity.

Kuchi Sachiko thought for a while, "It's probably because I'm uncomfortable...Is that so?"

In the recording room, singing to the sound engineer, Puchi Sachiko didn't feel nervous about it.However, the sharp contrast between the inside and outside of the recording studio seems to be isolated from the world, but the "ordinary world" outside is right in front of my eyes.

Especially now, when I am face to face with Iwahashi Shinichi across the glass wall, and communicate with the microphones connecting the two sides, the feeling is clearer and stronger.

Sachiko Puchi didn't know whether the discomfort caused by this contrast could be eliminated with getting used to it, but, as far as she felt now, it should be a kind of discomfort, not nervousness.

"I see." Yanqiao Shen nodded, changed the subject, and praised her, "Puchi-san, your voice is very nice."

"Thank you." Puchi Xingzi bowed to him.

Watching her salute to him through the glass wall, Yanqiao Shinichi felt a certain kind of humor in it, and couldn't help laughing.

He thought back to the environment in the recording studio, he felt funny when he saw Sachiko Kawachi bowing, and it was not surprising that Sachiko Kawachi felt uncomfortable when he saw him smiling.

There are some no-experienced novices that Shinichi Iwahashi has dealt with, but this is the first novice like Sachiko Kamaike who is so sensitive to this kind of contrast.

He thought about it for a while, and then suddenly proposed to her, "Can I ask you to sing one more song?"

"What?" Sachiko Kawachi couldn't figure out what Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking.

Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "This time, I would like to ask you a little bit, choose a rock song that you are good at, okay?"

However, in addition to asking her to choose another rock song to sing, Iwahashi Shinichi also gave her another suggestion, "Have you seen the curtain on the wall? You can try to pull it up."

"Draw the curtains?"

Sachiko Puchi's eyes followed his words and fell on the heavy curtains.

After thinking about it, she followed Yanqiao Shinichi's suggestion, took two steps forward, pinched a corner of the curtain, and covered the glass wall in front of her.In an instant, Iwahashi Shinichi, Akamatsu Haruko, and Kuribayashi Seiichiro, who were standing in front of the console and facing her just now, all disappeared before her eyes.

The ordinary world outside disappeared before her eyes.

"Do you feel better now?"

Shinichi Iwahashi's voice came from the earphones.The outside world did not disappear, but continued to maintain contact with the world in the recording studio in another way.

However, not face to face, the sense of separation has indeed faded.

"Ordinarily, things that should be faced must be faced, and it is not good to escape."

"However," Yanqiao Shenyi turned around and told her, "Personally, I am not opposed to proper evasion. If Pu Chi-san feels uncomfortable, you can also try to 'escape' in this way first."

He encouraged Puchi Xingzi to escape.

Sachiko Puchi couldn't see his face, but just heard such serious words.Because of this, I was amused by his words.

From the monitor earphones, a short chuckle echoed back.

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't take it seriously, and gave her a final explanation, "I will always wait for you to start. Now, I leave it to you to decide when to start, Puchi-san."

After saying this, the monitor earphones fell silent.

Now, the connection with the ordinary world outside has also been cut off, and everything has become unknown.However, since the timing of the decision to start is up to Sachiko Kawachi herself, it might be better to say that the initiative is in her own hands.

She slowly immersed herself in this world where only she was, thinking about what song she should sing next.

……

Giving the initiative to Sachiko Kawachi, I don't know when it started, the curtains are drawn, and I can't see her state inside, everything has become unknown.

Yanqiao Shinichi pressed his lips tightly, waiting for the recording to start at an unknown time.

Closing the curtains is a practice that increases the pressure on the sound engineer, so that this side falls into a passive state.However, rather than giving orders to Sachiko Kamaike, or teaching her how to overcome that discomfort, Shinichi Iwahashi now wants to hear the voice of a "relaxed" Sachiko Kamaike.

I don't know how long it has passed, but through the earphones, I heard the voice of Sachiko Kamachi: "It's ok."

Iwahashi Shinichi quickly manipulated the equipment.

After that, in the monitor earphones, Sachiko Kamachi sang Ann Lewis's "In Pleasure".Yanqiao Shenyi listened carefully to the subtleties, the first two sentences were still a little tight, but as the song slowly unfolded, it gradually stretched out and became more "elastic".

The singing voice of Sachiko Kamachi, which was fed back from the monitor earphones, was still clear, and after letting go of that uncomfortable feeling, she performed better.

Of course, she, who has not undergone systematic training and relies entirely on her talent capital, will never suddenly rise to a higher level just because she draws the curtains.

In other words, the first audition tape of "Roppongi Heart" has already shown her highest level so far, and this little trick by Shinichi Iwahashi just gave her a little extra points.

However, it is enough to see results.

In any case, the tight voice caused by this discomfort is not a good thing.

Sure enough, it was the place where her voice could be brought into full play when she was singing rock and roll. While listening to it, Shinichi Iwahashi compared it with "For you" just now in his heart, and he was even more sure of this.

But what is more certain is another matter.

That is, the excellence of Sachiko Kawachi is both "worthy" and "able".

……

Sachiko Puchi was going to report at the office at four o'clock. When she came to the recording studio, she first chatted about music, and then tried to sing two songs. Before she knew it, a quarter of three o'clock had passed.

Sachiko Puchi offered to leave, and Haruko Akamatsu got up together.

The two girls greeted Shinichi Iwahashi and Seiichiro Kuribayashi and walked out of the recording studio.

"Thank you for coming today." Akamatsu Haruko chatted with her on the side of the road outside the recording room.

Sachiko Kuchi shook her head lightly, "I am very happy to be able to sing in the recording studio again, and to see Iwahashi-san."

Hearing what she said, Akamatsu Haruko gave her a slightly probing look.

Sachiko Puchi guessed what she was thinking, and explained to her: "I respect Iwahashi-san..." Looking at Haruko Akamatsu, her expression was shy, but her tone was not hesitant, "Iwahashi-san respects dreams and can make others people whose dreams come true.”

Make someone else's dream come true?

Akamatsu Haruko remembered that Kamachi Sachiko told Iwahashi Shinichi just now that her dream was to be decisive when singing.Is that so?
Today, Iwahashi Shinichi invited Kawachi Sachiko to the recording studio, and in the end he didn’t tell the reason why he invited her. He just chatted with her about music and invited her to audition, as if it was just to satisfy curiosity and want to get to know her Just a moment.

The only thing that "crossed the line" was that after the recording was over, during the chat, I casually asked Kachiko how long she had been in the industry and how many years her contract with Stardust was, but she didn't go further into this topic.

However, Akamatsu Haruko didn't think that Iwahashi Shinichi simply wanted to satisfy his own curiosity.During this meeting with Sachiko Kawachi, Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her with scrutiny from time to time, as if he was interviewing her.

Believe that he can make other people's dreams come true, Kamaike Sachiko, has her dream been conveyed to Iwahashi Shinichi?

Haruko Akamatsu thought about that possibility—did Iwahashi-san also think that Sachiko Kamagike was very good, and she was tempted by her.

Thinking of this, Haruko Akamatsu felt emotional, and said to Sachiko Kawachi: "It would be great if Iwahashi-san could make Kamaike-san's dream come true."

Puchi Xingzi was slightly taken aback when he heard this.At first, there was a trace of yearning in his expression, and he shook his head slightly when he thought of something.Akamatsu Haruko didn't know what this shaking of the head meant, but it was inconvenient to ask further.

"Then I'll take my leave."

The two girls said goodbye outside the recording room, Sachiko Kawachi walked to the station, and Haruko Akamatsu returned to the recording studio.Yanqiao Shinichi was still listening to the audition tape just now, to be precise, it was the last one.

After listening, he took off his earphones, looked at his watch, and said to Seiichiro Kuribayashi, "Can you help me copy all three audition tapes of Kuchi-san into tapes?"

Kuribayashi Seiichiro agreed, "Of course it's no problem... But, are you going to show it to someone?"

Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "I have this plan." While Seiichiro Kuribayashi was busy, he greeted Haruko Akamatsu, "Komachi-san's contract with Stardust is for three years."

"Yes." Akamatsu Haruko nodded.

Yanqiao Shinichi thought deeply, "It's just the beginning."

……

Sachiko Kuchi arrived at the office ten minutes before four o'clock.10 minutes early, already the first to arrive.After the manager Nakano greeted her, he joked, "Sachiko, you really deserve to be an office worker."

Kamaike Sachiko showed a slightly offended expression.

Nakano noticed it and smiled, "I didn't mean anything malicious, I was just praising you for being punctual. The other 'Misses', however, would not come over until the last minute anyway."

"If you say that again," Sachiko Kawachi said seriously, "next time I will have to wait until the last minute to come."

Nakano couldn't help laughing.

While chatting, Natsuo Okamoto walked in, greeted Nakano, and then talked to Sachiko Kawachi: "You're here so soon, Xing-chan. I'm still wondering if you will be late."

Serious towards Nakano, much more lively towards Natsuo Okamoto, Kamachi Sachiko replied with a smile: "I said I will never forget it."

"I wandered around Minami-Aoyama alone for a long time, but nothing came of it. I also drank coffee." Natsuo Okamoto asked her, "What have you been doing, Xing-chan?"

Sachiko Kuchi recalled the experience of pulling up the curtains in the recording room and immersing herself in her own world. She didn't want to lie, and she couldn't tell Natsuo Okamoto about these things, so she just said, "I went to play with my friends."

Natsuo Okamoto is not an idiot, and after getting such an answer, he stopped asking.

The models who were summoned will be filmed at seven o'clock tonight.Sachiko Puchi still had to put on heavy makeup, wear clothes that she didn't like and wasn't comfortable with, and prepared herself mentally before walking in front of the camera.

Occasionally, when she is free, she will recall the experience in the recording studio today in her mind.

Compared with the chaotic studio, she still really likes the feeling of being alone in the recording studio.Chaos and stillness, two completely different experiences, appear alternately.

Singing is a dream, but modeling is a reality.

Akamatsu Haruko said that if only Iwahashi-san could make her dream come true.Thinking about this sentence, Sachiko Puchi smiled at the camera under the command of the photographer.

……

Wanyumi Watanabe was very efficient. The next day, Shinichi Iwahashi received the copied videos of the contestants he had selected at the selection meeting that she had asked someone to send, and they were all arranged there according to their names and numbers.

Shinichi Iwahashi got the video tape, but he didn't feel very much looking forward to it. He watched the players' videos one by one in the projection room of Kawasaki's office as if he had completed a task.

However, there was no turmoil in his heart, even for the people he personally circled.

After listening to Sachiko Kawachi's audition tape, and then watching the videos of these auditions, I don't like it anyway.Not only that, but also found many shortcomings.

In this kind of "tasteless", Shinichi Iwahashi has a deep understanding of the irreplaceable talent of Sachiko Kamaike.

He made up his mind and turned off the TV.Then he picked up the phone and called Mayumi Watanabe.
