One hundred ways to resist the Bandoli women

Everyone at Morfonica was once again impressed by Shengren's talent.

But this raises a new problem.

“Why do you want to watch us write songs?”

Futaba Chikushi asked again.

"Ah, another good question. I'm almost falling in love with you, Futaba-san."

Shengren couldn't help but sigh.

Just when Futaba Chikushi was about to blush and was at a loss.

"Why is it that you always ask the questions I want you to ask? You are much better than Kiritani-san."

"Well, even if this is the case, you can't just say love so easily!"

Futaba Chikushi looked at Kurata Mashiro with a flushed face—only to see Kurata Mashiro looking restless, but not reacting much.

It seems she has gotten used to it.

Sure enough, only our Tu Bi is still an innocent girl.

"Okay, okay. I apologize."

Shengren gave a French military salute.

“This is indeed a good question, but please forgive me for still answering it with a question… When you write a song, do you write the lyrics first or compose the music first?”

"Do you even need to ask? Of course I write the lyrics first and then compose the music..."

Kiritani Toruko said this as a matter of course, but suddenly stopped talking.

"Could it be that you..."

"Ah."

Shengren gave an affirmative answer.

“I composed the music first, then wrote the lyrics.”

----

I suddenly realized that the setting for Sumimi in this book is very bold... Although I can't reveal it now, you will soon know how bold it is.

It's so bold that if Ave Mujica described it in detail, I might not be able to continue writing...

Well, for secondary creation, one should be prepared to have this level of awareness.

Chapter 44 What I Saw

In fact, it is very normal to write lyrics first and then compose music, or to compose music first and then write lyrics.

However, in the pop music industry, most songs have a melody first, and then the lyrics are written based on it.

From a commercial perspective, the latter is a higher level.

So, under what circumstances would you write the lyrics first and then compose the music?

One situation is a newcomer who has just entered the industry.

I can't control the melody alone and need the help of lyrics.

Another type is to have a very deep feeling for one or two words.

When strong emotions are turned into words, it is natural to write the lyrics first and then compose the music for them.

But, unfortunately—

Shengren has never had such an experience.

Once again, Ushiromiya Katsuto is not devoid of emotion. Aside from the huge hole in his heart, his emotions are no different from those of a normal person.

But, perhaps because of this huge void, he was unable to fully commit his emotions.

In order to fully express his emotions, he had to face his heart... and once he faced it, Katsuto felt as if he was being swallowed up.

This made it impossible for him to bring enough emotion to some things. Therefore, he was prophesied -

Sooner or later, you will taste the taste of defeat.

Speaking of which, it happened at a singing competition.

Because of his outstanding singing skills among his peers, he undoubtedly won the first place after the five judges' scores were averaged out.

However, after the competition, the judge who gave him the lowest score came up to him.

"Your technique is flawless... your talent is far superior to that of ordinary people. But your only problem is that you don't bring enough emotion to it."

In some industries, the only way to achieve perfection is to eliminate emotions...but music is an extremely emotional field, so he is not wrong.

Then-

"Sooner or later, you will meet someone who is weaker than you in every way."

"His innate conditions are inferior to yours, and his skills are inferior to yours - but you will be knocked down by his abundant emotions and defeated by his god-killing blow."

Although it sounds quite childish, Shengren didn't understand it at that time.

But as he grew older, he realized the emptiness in his heart—

And began to believe that these words were correct.

But has this prophecy come true?

You can say no, or you can say yes.

The reason I say no is that I don’t know whether it is a miracle or absolute will, but he has never been defeated in any competition that Shengren has participated in.

Yes, that's because -

...through the clouds

Become sparkly

My inner thoughts overflow

Cheeks come back to life

Also shining

Hot tears wet my face

Why your hand

It's so warm

Please

Please never let go from now on...

Shengren could not write such a "Spring Shadow" or sing such a "Spring Shadow".

So, at that moment.

He admitted his defeat.

Anyway, the topic has gone a bit off topic.

"I've always written songs based on inspiration, and I've never tried to write songs for anyone or anything like this. So I want to see how Xiaobai writes lyrics—"

"is it so serious?"

Toruko Kiritani said, tilting her head.

"Mashiro's lyrics aren't that complicated. I just scribble something on a notebook and then it becomes lyrics."

"Touko-chan!"

Mashiro Kurata stomped her feet embarrassedly, and then looked ashamed and angry.

In response, Katsuto gave a friendly laugh.

At this time.

"Just now Ushiromiya-san asked, who do you want to learn how to write songs for?"

At this time, Futaba Chikushi asked the third question.

"Who is that person?"

Pretty.

I have to say, this is indeed a very interesting question.

However, Katsuto couldn't give a frank compliment.

"Huh? I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually in love?"

Touko Kiritani elbowed Katsuto.

Putting aside her familiarity, Shengren's comment on this elbow is that if you don't have great skills, don't elbow ()

But Shengren also has something to say.

"I'm planning to write a song for Sister Saaya."

He looked normal.

"I have been living in the Yamabuki family for three years, and Sister Saaya's birthday is coming soon. I want to write a song to express my gratitude to her."

A perfect answer, so perfect that even Toruko Kiritani couldn't find any fault with it.

"But since you're here, I'll practice with you guys first—"

As he spoke, Shengren took out his guitar.

This time, the guitar was not borrowed from Wakaba Mutsu, but he picked it out from his own [Ushiromiya's Treasure].

By the way, Katsuto named it "the strange bird of Lake Stymphalis".

(King Crimson!)

After the practice, Katsuto left with Mashiro Kurata.

We had agreed before to go to Kurata Mashiro's house for dinner one day, but due to various reasons, we were unable to fulfill the appointment.

Now it’s better to do it today than to wait for another day.

Katsuto put his hands in his pockets and walked unsteadily beside Kurata Mashiro.

And Kurata Mashiro looked up and watched the sun gradually setting.

"By the way, when did Xiaobai move out of Sakuragaoka?"

"Hey, it was probably the period before entering the Moon Forest..."

"We are so lucky that we can meet again here."

Katsuto stared at Kurata Mashiro's face.

"If gods really exist and control people's fate, a relationship like ours that is so precisely calculated is probably unique."

These words seem to have a bit of Seta Kaoru's flavor.

"Well... I'm also very happy to meet you here, Arong."

When Kurata Mashiro wanted to say something else—

Before her eyes, a blue butterfly fluttered by.

As the butterfly flew higher and higher, and finally disappeared into the sky—

The whale erupted with more paintings and butterflies.

The sky turned into the ocean.

Whales fell to the ground, huge flowers bloomed, schools of jellyfish and schools of sardines appeared one after another.

"what……"

Having known Kurata Mashiro for so long, Katsuto certainly knew that she was in the right state.

Shengren doesn't have such exaggerated clairvoyance abilities, however.
