old events in tokyo

Chapter 277
After getting acquainted with the seniors here, Kazuki Akiyama was dragged by them to discuss composition and lyrics, and even his writing experience.

Most of these seniors were born in the 50s and [-]s, and their style is relatively traditional.

Although today's party is a bit like a Western-style party, they are all dressed in kimono.

When they were drunk, they clapped their hands and sang folk songs from their hometown.

It may be a bit old-fashioned, but the love for his hometown and the simple emotion can't help but also infected Kazuki Akiyama.

Encouraged by them, he also sang a local folk song.

Amid everyone's applause, Akiyama Kazuki bowed to pay tribute, bid farewell to their group gathering, and turned to rest in other places in the hall.

"Qiu Shan-jun's singing of traditional folk songs is also very pleasant."

While he was taking a nap with a glass of fruit juice, a pretty girl with long hair came over and struck up a conversation with him.

Seeing Kazuki Akiyama looking over, the girl bowed her body, "Kako Matsueda, please give me your advice."

"Thanks for taking care of me, Kazuki Akiyama."

After the two greeted each other, the girl looked a little hesitant.

"If you have anything to do with Songzhi-chan, you can tell me directly, please don't mind." Seeing her appearance, there seemed to be something embarrassing.

Because I am participating in the hometown association, except for the elders, no honorifics are used among peers.

Most of them add Jun or Jiang after the direct surname to show closeness, and Kazuki Akiyama also goes to do as the Romans do.

"Qiu Shan-kun's attainment in pure music is also very admirable. So... please give me your advice."

Gaiko Matsueda mustered up her courage, holding the manuscript paper she had prepared and handed it to him with both hands.

Kazuki Akiyama suddenly realized when he saw the music score on the manuscript paper. The melody on it had no lyrics, only musical notes.

Apparently she wanted Kazuki Akiyama to give her advice on the song she composed.

Although Kazuki Akiyama is a popular singer in the eyes of the public, the popularity of the pure music he created is not low.

It has been used as the soundtrack for many animations and games, which makes him quite famous in the soundtrack circle.

Kako Matsueda, who just graduated from the Tokyo Conservatory of Music, is also a composer lover.

At the age of three or four, he received music knowledge learning with the encouragement of his parents.

I heard that Kazuki Akiyama would join today's compatriots, so she managed to join in, the purpose is to ask him to give advice on her composition.

After all, Kazuki Akiyama is already famous, but she herself is a nobody.

Kazuki Akiyama read the music score carefully, "Jazz?" He raised his eyebrows, and looked up at Kako Matsueda with interest.

"Yeah." Matsueda Heko nodded obediently, feeling a little uneasy.

There are not many people who do jazz music in Japan, let alone a girl.

The current music world is dominated by pop and rock. Because jazz is too westernized, it is somewhat unacceptable in Japan, and the audience is not large.

"Have any of these pieces been released or adopted?"

After reading the score, Kazuki Akiyama asked her if these works were adopted without commenting first.

Songzhi Hezi blushed, lowered her head and muttered "Not yet".

Because of the limited style, and she just graduated, and the power of the bubble burst in 93 has just emerged.

She also submitted her works to several music production companies, but there was no news from them.

After graduating for a year, she still doesn't have a decent job, and she just makes ends meet by doing occasional private work with soundtracks.

Akiyama Kazuki nodded to express his understanding, and such an answer did not surprise him.

But the jazz-style soundtrack... Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, maybe he had a good idea to try.

"Does Matsuzhi-chan have a signed office now?" Kazuki Akiyama put away the score, and handed her a glass of champagne from the passing waiter.

"Hey" Kazuko Matsueda took the wine glass at a loss, and looked at Kazuki Akiyama with a look of anticipation in her searching gaze.

Kazuki Akiyama smiled, "The melody is very good. On the basis of jazz, it is very rare to be able to feel romance, passion, sadness, several different emotions."

Hearing Kazuki Akiyama's praise, Kazuko Matsueda's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked a little excited.

Then she remembered his question just now, "Mr. Qiu Shan intends to..." She looked at him expectantly.

"If Matsue-chan doesn't have a signed office, you might as well consider me." Kazuki Akiyama took out a business card from his arms and handed it to her.

"AKKA?" Matsueda Heko looked at the name on the business card and muttered in confusion. She thought it was the famous Being.

"This is my personal firm, but this year I will start to adjust the business model and switch to a brokerage firm.

In addition to artists, the brokerage affairs of behind-the-scenes creators will also be involved.

And you might as well tell Matsue-chan first that in addition to the office, he will also carry out music production business.

Presumably, Song Zhijiang's talent will definitely be of great use, but other things may not be guaranteed,
But a free creative environment can definitely meet Songzhijiang's requirements. "

Kazuki Akiyama briefly introduced her firm's plan for this year and the services it could provide her.

I dare not say anything else, but he is absolutely confident that he can meet the requirements of most creators when it comes to creative freedom.

As a singer-songwriter, he is well aware of how tempting a free creative environment is to creators.

Even a relatively free record company like Being will not really allow artists to choose or create songs at will.

He had seen Dahei Moji recording songs in the recording studio more than once with tears in his eyes. She must have experienced the depression caused by various constraints at that time.

Sure enough, after hearing Kazuki Akiyama's explanation, Kazuko Matsueda showed a very excited expression.

Everyone in the entertainment circle has heard about Kazuki Akiyama's character, but he has never heard him speak big words.

And he has a gentle personality. If he becomes his own president-san, then it must be a pleasure to work in his office.

"Thanks for Akiyama-kun's care, but..." Matsueda Heko showed a embarrassed expression on his face.

"If you have any requests from Songzhijiang, you can just say it directly, please don't be polite."

He can talk about any conditions, and he didn't expect that once he opened his mouth, everyone would wait and see.

After hesitating for a while, she still said cheekily, "I have a good friend named Eguchi Takachi, who graduated from the Tokyo Conservatory of Music like me. If possible, I ask Akiyama-kun to consider him as well."

"Please rest assured that Eguchi-kun's composition talent is by no means inferior to mine. Besides jazz, he is also good at electronic and orchestral music."

Afraid Kazuki Akiyama felt that he was fooling him, Kazuko Matsueda hastily added.

And buy one get one free?I was wondering where to go to recruit troops and buy horses, and when I stopped drowsing, someone would come to give me pillows.

"Yes, but you may need to read Eguchi-kun's works before making a decision."

Although I accepted the recommendation of Kako Matsueda, I still have to go through the process that needs to be followed.

However, if you want to graduate from the Tokyo Conservatory of Music, you can be recommended by Matsueda Kako so solemnly, there must be something outstanding about him.

"Hay, thank you Akiyama-kun!" Matsueda Kazuki bowed excitedly to Akiyama Kazuki.

Today's harvest was beyond her expectations, not only her work problems were solved, but also her friends were also settled.

What's more, it's the famous Kazuki Akiyama, who is also an authentic fellow from Tochigi City with me, so the future will not be bad.
