Zongman: There are a few beautiful girls who like me

So Kitagawa Yuu could only say, "I was introduced by a friend who owns an agency," while secretly complaining in his heart: "As expected of an angel like Ichichi Hongxia, this guy is really enthusiastic."

Chapter 91 Always by my side...

To be honest, Kitagawa Yu actually doesn't dislike a girl like 'Subaru-chan' who is beautiful, cheerful, enthusiastic and very understanding.

But...An and Subaru are not alone now!

Fortunately, it is impossible for the two parties to share a recording studio again.

Without Kawaharaki Momoka, who had a sullen face all the way, behind him, Kitagawa You suddenly felt much more refreshed.

"I'll debug the equipment first. Once Yingzi-chan is ready, we'll start recording."

"Ok!"

Tsukimi Eiko couldn't help but clench her fists, her face full of fighting spirit, obviously stimulated by Kawahara Ki Momoka's previous actions.

But this is a good idea. At least this way, Kitagawa Yuu doesn't have to worry about her getting nervous.

......

......

"I'm ready!"

"OK, then I'll go to the monitoring room next door."

Ten minutes later, Kitagawa You left his phone, which had been turned on at a suitable angle, and went to the monitoring room next door alone.

At the same time, Tsukimi Eiko took a deep breath and put on the slightly heavy headphones on her head.

"One! Two! Three! GO!"

Kitagawa Yu made gestures to Tsukimi Eiko in front of the microphone through the transparent soundproof glass, and then pressed the play button of the accompaniment while saying 'GO'.

Compared to the original piano version, after adding guitar, bass, drums, electronic sounds and a little violin.

The originally thin melody suddenly became rich and colorful.

These days, Tsukimi Eiko has been listening to the demos recorded by Kitagawa Yuu every day when she goes to sleep, wakes up, washes, and cooks. This melody, which is as warm as the sun and as colorful as a palette, has already been deeply imprinted in her heart.

When the melody sounded, all the previous resentment, as well as the hidden tension and uneasiness, disappeared like snowflakes in the sun.

He completely immersed himself in the sea of sunflowers swaying in the wind under the clear sky. Although it was his first recording, from the timing of his entry to the rhythm of his singing, from the state of his voice to the integration of his emotions, everything reached a level that left Kitagawa You breathtaking and impeccable.

Although the voice of Tsukimi Eiko is quite different from Ado, Kitagawa Yu can feel that this version of "Sunflower" is definitely not inferior to the original.

In terms of how moving it was to him, it even surpassed the original version.

"I can only say... Yingzi is indeed the 'Soul Diva'!"

In the recording studio with natural wood tones, a blonde girl in a sailor suit closed her eyes and sang in ecstasy in front of the microphone. Her whole body seemed to be emitting circles of colorful halos, and Kitagawa Yu was so moved by her singing that he couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Actually... from a rational point of view... compared to Sayu and Lao Ba, or Himemiya Karen, Yingzi-chan is the one who is more suitable for me... willing and able to stay by my side and walk with me..."

This thought suddenly popped up in Beichuan You's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

After all, it doesn’t have to be a lover who always stays by your side; friends can do the same, right?

But...when he thought that Tsukimi Eiko might date some other boy in the future, he couldn't help but feel like he was suffocating, and he had to quickly stop his wild thoughts.

......

......

"You, was my singing...ok?"

When the accompaniment ended and Kitagawa Yuya made an OK gesture to her through the window, Tsukimi Eiko immediately took off her headphones and ran over with a nervous and expectant look on her face. Her little hands nervously grabbed her collar, completely different from the confidence and brilliance she had just shown when she was singing.

"Very good! But you've given me a big problem~"

"Eh? A big problem?"

"Yeah, I just paid for two hours, but you passed it in this one try. What should I do with the remaining hour or so?"

“Ah… H-I see… Is what Yuu said true?”

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

"Oh oh... hey hey..."

The naive Yue Jianyingzi finally realized that Beichuan You was praising her in various ways, and she couldn't help but giggle happily, just like... seeing the Shiba Inu holding a new toy in the hands of its owner. Beichuan You's body moved involuntarily, and he reached out to rub her head.

"By the way, You, can I get a refund for the extra money I paid?" Tsukimi Eiko couldn't help but ask while happily enjoying Kitagawa You's head pat.

Although this money was spent by Kitagawa Yuu, but... as Kitagawa Yuu's exclusive divine maid, she must consider Kitagawa Yuu's wallet, right?

"this--"

Beichuan You thought about it and said, "After all, it was recommended by a friend and it was discounted. Plus, it's only 3200 yen, which isn't a lot. I feel like it would be bad to return the money, so I'd better use the remaining time to do something else~"

"Do something?" Yue Jianyingzi couldn't help but look at him curiously.

"I finished the instrumentals for two more songs last night, one is "Running Towards the Night" sung by you and the other is "Horizontal Line" sung by me, so I can try to record my "Horizontal Line" in the remaining time."

"Which way or more!"

After listening to this, Yuejiang Yingzi first suddenly realized what was going on, and then immediately became excited.

For her, who is a simple-minded girl, being able to hear in advance a new song recorded by Kitagawa Yu that she has never heard of before is already something that can surprise her and make her happy for the whole day.

only......

"I'll go get the phone. You can listen to the effect of your singing first."

"Hmm...eh?"

Tsukimi Eiko, who was originally looking forward to Kitagawa Yu's new song, suddenly felt a little nervous, uneasy, and curious after taking the headphones handed to her by Kitagawa Yu.

"Is my singing...really as good as You said?"

Tsukimi Eiko muttered to herself while putting on the monitoring headphones.

It's not that she didn't believe in Kitagawa Yu, but when it really came to this moment, it was her first time recording a song and also her first time listening to the song she recorded, so she couldn't help but feel a little insecure.

However, after the prelude ended and the vocal part began, her heart, which had been lifted up due to nervousness and uneasiness, finally slowly calmed down.

"It seems... I sing... really well..."

"But I still need to work harder!"

"After all...I still have to go on stage at the Budokan with You~!"

Yue Jianyingzi thought happily in her heart, her gray-blue eyes twinkling with joy.

At the same time, after walking into the recording studio and taking out his mobile phone, Kitagawa Yu also checked the video he had just shot.

“If it follows the model of THE FIRST TAKE, it can be used directly as a MV…”

It may be that the lighting in the recording studio is sufficient, and now smartphones and shooting software also have built-in filters and light supplements, so the overall effect of the video is unexpectedly good.

However, this was the MV for their group's first single after all, so he didn't rush to make a decision. After saving the video, he went back to the mixing console and downloaded the accompaniment of "Horizontal Line".

At this time, Tsukimi Eiko had also finished listening to the song "Sunflower" that she had just sung, and she came back to his side as if she had picked up a frisbee thrown by her master.

Chapter 92 Kill three birds with one stone?

"Just do what I did just now. After I say OK, count to three and then press this button."

"Yeah! I know!"

After watching Kitagawa Yu's demonstration and confirming that she should be able to do it, Tsukimi Eiko felt relieved. Then, as she watched Kitagawa Yu walk into the recording studio and stand in front of the microphone, her face showed excitement again.

However, at this moment, Kitagawa Yu, who was standing in front of the microphone, looking at Tsukimi Eiko behind the soundproof glass, suddenly became a little nervous.

after all......

"Yingzi passed the test after just one recording. Isn't her talent and ability too freaking scary?"

"If I have to record several times before I pass, or even fail after several attempts...it would be a bit embarrassing, right?"

Thinking of this, Beichuan You suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Although objectively speaking, his vocal talent is pretty good, at least he can sing the songs of Green Apple, Rinre Shigure, and 'Bearded Man', but compared with the talent of music anime heroines like Tsukimi Eiko, it is completely incomparable.

According to his level, even if he has the original version as a reference to know how he should sing, it would be considered a good condition if he can pass it after recording it a few times.

Compared with Tsukimi Eiko's performance in the first pass, the gap is really too big.

"Forget it! It's embarrassing, but I'm a talented player who makes a living by my talent. It doesn't matter if I'm not talented enough. Besides, most composers and arrangers can't even sing themselves."

Kitagawa Yu could only comfort himself in his heart, then he took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and emotions, and made an 'OK' gesture to Tsukimi Eiko in the monitoring room.

Then......

As expected, as the countdown of 3, 2, 1 ended, the sound of the electric guitar came in first. Kitagawa Yu did not suddenly explode at the critical moment of the battle like the legendary Saint Seiya. Sure enough, in the first recording, there were several times that ordinary people might ignore when they first listen, but if they listened to it several times, or if professionals listened to it, they would find obvious mistakes.

In this case, it was obvious that he had no chance to match Tsukimi Eiko's performance in the previous pass.

However, when Tsukimi Eiko learned that he needed to re-record, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"What? Wasn't that one good? I thought it sounded good!"

What Tsukimi Eiko said was from the heart. In her opinion, although the song "Horizon Line" was not as sunny as "Sunflower", it was equally touching.

She couldn't help but immerse herself in the melody of the prelude alone, and when it came to the chorus, the poetic lyrics touched her so deeply that she was almost in tears.

"It's not that it's bad, it's just that there are still some flaws. It's not good enough." Beichuan You smiled and touched her head. He didn't belittle himself, but explained very objectively.

"In addition, apart from those mistakes in breathing and voice stability, I was not emotionally engaged enough when I was singing just now, so there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"So this is ah."

At Kitagawa Yu's reminder, Tsukimi Eiko put on her headphones again and listened to the playback through the headphones, and finally noticed the mistakes mentioned by Kitagawa Yu.

Then I have to admit that what Kitagawa Yu was saying was right. The heavy breathing sounds and the vibrato that shouldn't have appeared did make the whole song sound a little flawed.

However, she didn't notice that the song wasn't emotionally engaged. After all, in her opinion, what Kitagawa Yuu just sang was already super touching.

If she gets more involved...wouldn't she really cry?

Next, Kitagawa Yu first drank some water to moisten his throat, and then returned to the recording studio to start the second recording.

It is worth mentioning that the water cup was prepared by Tsukimi Eiko, who has never spent money to buy mineral water or drinks. Kitagawa Yuu himself does not have a water cup, so...

While Kitagawa Yu turned around and walked towards the recording studio, Tsukimi Eiko picked up the water cup with a pounding heart. Her cherry-pink lips trembled slightly as she gently placed them against the place where Kitagawa Yu had just drunk, and she secretly took a sip herself.

Then, before Kitagawa Yu turned around again, he suppressed his nervousness, excitement, shyness, guilt, and a trace of indescribable happiness and sweetness, and quickly screwed the lid back on and put the cup back into his schoolbag.

Then... he grinned like a Shiba Inu who had stolen the luxurious dog food that his owner had prepared.

At the same time, in another recording studio next door.

Momoka Kawaharaki, who had just finished recording for the fourth time, returned to the monitoring room, picked up her headphones to listen to the playback, and found that the recording effect still did not meet her standards. She sat down with a sullen face and felt a little depressed.

At this time, An He Subaru on the side also said something similar to Yue Jianyingzi: "Actually, I think the one you just recorded is already very good!"

However, unlike Tsukimi Eiko, her words were purely to comfort Kawahara Momoka.

After all...the new song written by Momoka Kawahara could not move her to the point where she would ignore all its flaws.

Kawaharaki Momoka knew this very well, so she said nothing, but just shook her head gently, obviously not feeling comforted.

So at this time, An and Subaru need to change the subject and help her calm down by diverting her attention.

"By the way, how do you think the guy next door is doing with his recording?"

"How could I know that?"

Momoka Kawahara's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she finally responded to her.

"That Kitagawa-kun looks quite cool, and he even received an invitation to Shinjuku LOFT, so he must be quite impressive, right? But that Tsukimi Eiko looks a bit silly, like a newbie, so I'm sure there will be a lot of problems when she's recording the song, right?"

"Come on, you're about the same age as her, right~"

"So, should we go over to see them? And give them a hand?"

After being silent and hesitating for about two or three seconds, Kawaharaki Momoka finally succumbed to her curiosity and a little bit of unwillingness to accept it, and started a conversation with An and Subaru.

"how to get to?"

"That's easy. Just buy them some drinks and send them over under the pretext of apologizing for what happened just now!"

"..."
