Studying in Tokyo: From Provoking to Succubus

Chapter 89 Song

In an elegant recording studio.

Li Xin and Kawai Mion found a stool and sat down.

Producer Akutagawa Joichi, sitting in a swivel chair in front of the mixing desk, turned to face the two of them.

"Well~you look very young." Akutagawa Joichi asked with a smile.

Not only are they young, you can tell at first glance that they are two students.

"Well, we are both sophomores in high school," said Li Xin.

"Well, whose song is it? Is there a demo? I want to listen to it first." Akutagawa Jōichi said, and glanced at Li Xin casually, thinking that this guy must be a rich second-generation.

"My song, there is a demo." Kawai Mion took out her mobile phone, turned on the player and placed it on the mixing desk: "This is a demo of me singing on guitar at home."

The mobile phone slowly played music. Akutagawa Joichi pinched his chin and squinted his eyes, wanting to listen to what kind of song this high school student wrote.

At the beginning, it was just an ordinary guitar playing. Akutagawa Joichi simply listened to the pitch and interval, and instantly deduced that it was just a very ordinary lyric song and instantly lost interest.

As a gold medal producer, although he does things for money, he also has certain criteria for judging the songs he produces. Songs that are too casual and ordinary are boring to him, and he will be bored and lack enthusiasm when making them. If it is a very interesting and distinctive song, he will be very motivated to make it.

Now, he has determined that this song is just an ordinary lyric song, the kind that anyone who can sing can sing.

A human voice came out, and Akutagawa Joichi was slightly surprised. The voice was very nice and gentle.

I couldn't help but look at Kawai Mion in surprise. It seems that this girl has great potential to become a singer. Her voice is very unique and she can complete many songs.

The guitar progresses slowly, and the vocals follow suit.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Akutagawa Joichi feels that the vocals follow the song very closely, as if they blend perfectly with the song.

Suddenly, a strange chord sound appeared.

Akutagawa Joichi opened his eyes wide and listened carefully with his ear tilted.

The melody began to become dynamic, and he shook his head slightly, feeling some interest. It was just an ordinary lyrical song just now, but it changed after this chord. It was like a girl in love who suddenly encountered something and had a change. There was a feeling of joy and happiness.

This is the joy of music, being able to hear a wonderful story in the music. Although there are a hundred different Hamlets for a hundred people, the basic emotions remain the same: joy is joy, sadness is sadness, and happiness is happiness.

The pitch of the vocals increased and the sound also sounded joyful.

For a high school student, this is impressive.

Akutagawa Jōichi took a look at Kawai Mion and thought that this girl had the ability to become a great singer.

The sound of the guitar changed again, picking up speed.

Akutagawa Joichi was slightly stunned. Is this going to be rock? Wouldn't it be too strange for a ballad to suddenly jump into rock?

At this moment, the vocals in this fast-paced area also came out.

Rap! This is rap!
The voice in the phone was spewing out words quickly, rapping with a strange flow to the accompaniment of some rock music. Although the overall sound was weird, it felt very good.

Akutagawa Jōichi stared at the mobile phone on the table in amazement. Rap?

This rap has a great rhythm, great flow, and is sung great.

Akutagawa Joichi listened attentively.

The changing harmony appeared again, this time returning to a calm lyrical style with a touch of classical flavor, and the singing style also became like the sound of a theater musical, as if announcing and summarizing everything.

It feels like the last few words in the musical: "In the end, the prince and princess lived happily ever after." It's a very elegant and natural ending.

Finally, the song ended. Akutagawa opened his mouth halfway, thinking about how to make this song. It was a very interesting song, with many styles and challenging tones and intervals. It felt like there were many ways to arrange the song later. This kind of song might be rare in the market, and it was not certain whether it would be a big hit. But regardless of whether it would be a big hit or not, this song was very interesting, and a quiet and passionate girl's love drama was performed before his eyes.

"Mr. Akutagawa, how about this demo?" Li Xin saw that he was a little intoxicated, so he reminded him.

Akutagawa Joichi came to his senses and smiled.

"Very good, very impressive, a fusion of various styles, not abrupt but very natural. I have rarely seen this type of song, I am very interested."

Li Xin smiled, "This is a song written by my girlfriend." He felt a little proud.

Akutagawa Shoichi is a gold medal producer. He made an appointment with a producer online yesterday, thinking that he was not short of money and it was also for the sake of his girlfriend, so he directly chose the most expensive one to make an appointment.

The fact that he praised this song shows that Kawai Mion's song has a certain technical content.

"I'm curious, did you write this song by yourself?" Akutagawa Joichi asked Kawai Mion.

"Ah."

"That's impressive. You're only a sophomore in high school? That's a little hard to believe."

Akutagawa turned around and faced the mixing console, operating it skillfully.

"Well, the demo is good. The next step is to arrange the music. If you don't mind, I can arrange the music. This song feels like it will be fun. Various instruments can be used in various styles."

"Mr. Akutagawa, I have already arranged the music."

Upon hearing this, Akutagawa Jōichi turned around and looked at her in surprise.

"The arrangement is ready?" Unbelievable.

Composing music and writing lyrics are relatively simple. If you know a little about piano and literature, you can figure it out by thinking about it.

But arranging music is not easy. It requires knowledge of various musical instruments and is a job that requires a lot of experience. He couldn't believe that this high school girl in front of him could arrange music. How to arrange music? Guitar, piano, bass, drums, let's not talk about how to arrange these, let's first talk about whether this high school girl knows these instruments and whether she can use them.

"Well, I already thought of the arrangement, but since there are no instruments, I just memorized it all in my head," said Kawai Mion.

Akutagawa Joichi: “.”

Akutagawa Joichi first loaded her demo into the audio software for use in the subsequent process.

"Then tell me about your arrangement." He said while playing Kawai Mion's demo.

“For the first lyrical part, all you need is the guitar, and you don’t need much arrangement.”

"The second verse picks up the tempo for the first time, bass and drums"

Kawai Mion pointed at the progress bar on the audio software and spoke one by one.

As Akutagawa listened, he was gradually shocked. It was really like that.

After hearing everything, Akutagawa Joichi was stunned, trying to digest her narration.

"Well, it's okay, not bad." After a long time, he said slowly.

It’s really not bad.

Li Xin watched from the side and felt that Kawai Mion was becoming more and more talented. Without realizing it, she knew so much about music that she could compose, write lyrics, and arrange a song by herself. It seemed that she had been studying a lot at home.

I don’t know much about music…
