Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

Ken Sakaguchi took a deep breath, put his glasses back on, and randomly clicked on a demo of a song labeled "Lemon".

The prelude of piano music begins, melancholic yet pure.

Then came the male chanting—

梦ならばどれほどよかったでしょう(It would be great if this was a dream)

美だにあなたのことを梦にみる(I still dream of you)

After just a few words, Ken Sakaguchi felt a tightness in his throat.

This kind of heart-wrenching sadness...

He closed his eyes, letting the melody flow in his ears.

Three minutes later, the song ended.

Ken Sakaguchi opened his eyes and found that his eyes were a little wet.

"This..." He was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

He took a deep breath and clicked on another song—"Uchiage Hanabi".

Upbeat electronic sound effects, youthful guitar melodies...

That atmosphere of a summer night, a fireworks display, and a touch of melancholy was instantly created.

パッと光って岲いた(suddenly blooming with light)

Hanabi を见ていた(looking at the fireworks)

The summer is definitely not over yet.

Ken Sakaguchi unconsciously swayed his head to the melody.

This song...

Will be on fire.

It will definitely be a hit.

He listened to more than a dozen more songs in succession.

The exhilaration of "Zen Zen Zense"...

The complex emotions in "Pretender"...

The feeling of running fast in "Yoraka"...

The explosive power of "The Monster"...

Every single one is a masterpiece.

Each song evoked a strong emotional resonance in him.

Ken Sakaguchi leaned back in his chair, staring at the long list of songs on the screen, feeling somewhat dazed.

142 songs...

142 songs of this caliber!

Was this created by one person?

He suddenly remembered what Seiji Fujiwara had said three days ago—

All original content, and the copyright belongs entirely to me.

At the time, he was just recording it professionally and didn't think much of it.

but now……

"No way?" Ken Sakaguchi muttered to himself, "They must have acquired the copyright from somewhere else, right?"

After all, releasing 142 high-quality original songs at once...

This doesn't make sense at all.

Even the top music producers in the industry are already doing very well if they can create ten high-quality works a year.

And Fujiwara-sensei...

142 songs at once?

Where do I find the time, energy, and passion to create?

Ken Sakaguchi rubbed his temples and checked the time—it was almost midnight.

He saved the organized files and shut down his computer.

Let's ask in person tomorrow, just in case there are any hidden problems behind these songs... such as not properly handling hush money payments to the original authors.

……

……

The following afternoon, in the conference room of Black Rock Law Firm.

Seiji Fujiwara arrived on time.

He walked into the conference room and saw that Ken Sakaguchi was already waiting.

"Attorney Sakaguchi, thank you for your hard work," Seiji Fujiwara greeted with a smile.

“Professor Fujiwara.” Ken Sakaguchi stood up, his expression somewhat complicated. “The documents have been prepared. Please take a look.”

He handed a thick folder to Seiji Fujiwara.

Seiji Fujiwara took it, flipped through it casually, and nodded: "Very good."

“Fujiwara-sensei…” Ken Sakaguchi hesitated for a moment, “Um, may I ask you a question?”

“Speak,” Fujiwara Seiji said, raising his head.

Ken Sakaguchi took a deep breath: "These songs...were they all really composed by you?"

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Seiji Fujiwara laughed: "What? You don't believe me?"

“It’s not that I don’t believe it… it’s just…” Ken Sakaguchi said tactfully and carefully, “To create 142 high-quality songs with different styles in one go… to be frank, the effort required is almost astronomical. Many musicians may not be able to write so many songs in their entire lives.”

He paused, then added, "I've listened to all the songs over the past three days. Every single one is a masterpiece, each with a completely different style and emotional expression. The sheer quantity and quality of their compositions..."

"So you think I got these songs from somewhere else?" Seiji Fujiwara chimed in.

Ken Sakaguchi remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Seiji Fujiwara smiled and shook his head: "You're worrying too much, Sakaguchi."

He picked up the document and turned to the page with "Lemon".

Have you heard the demo of this song?

“I’ve heard of it.” Ken Sakaguchi nodded immediately. “This is the most moving piece for me.”

“Then let me talk about this song.” Seiji Fujiwara leaned back in his chair and said slowly, “The inspiration for this song comes from the theme of loss.”

"The intro is played purely on piano, without any other instruments. Why?"

"Because I wanted to create a pure, lonely sense of sadness."

"In the verse, the vocals enter. The vocal range is not high, and the narration is gentle. This is describing memories—those memories about you."

"Then comes the chorus."

Fujiwara Seiji closed his eyes, as if he was recollecting the melody, and gestured gently with his fingers: "あの日の丝しみさえあの日のkuしみさえ (Sadness of that day, pain of that day)... This sentence is the core of the whole song."

"Emotions erupt here. The bass drum joins in, the strings join in, and the vocal range is raised."

"To vent emotions and release long-suppressed pain."

"Finally, the lemon that appears repeatedly in the lyrics." Seiji Fujiwara opened his eyes and looked at Ken Sakaguchi. "Do you know why the lemon was used as an image?"

Ken Sakaguchi shook his head.

“Because lemons are sour,” Seiji Fujiwara laughed. “Memories are also sour, bitter, and make you frown. But at the same time, lemons are refreshing, vivid, and impossible to ignore. Just like those people we want to forget but can’t.”

Ken Sakaguchi's breathing became slightly rapid.

This understanding of the song...

This attention to every detail...

Only true creators can say it!

"Let's talk about 'Uchiage Hanabi' again." Seiji Fujiwara turned another page. "This song is about the regrets of youth."

"The electronic sound effects in the intro are simulating the sound of fireworks rising into the sky."

"If you listen carefully, you'll hear a whooshing sound followed by a popping sound."

· ······Request flowers·· ······

"In the verses, the guitar and bass create the atmosphere of a summer night. The tempo is not fast, like taking a walk or waiting."

"Strings and synthesizers are added to the chorus. Why? Because fireworks are blooming. That momentary brilliance and fleeting beauty needs a richer timbre to express it."

“The lyrics 'Patto Hikari te Sakita Hanabi wo Miteita' (Watching the fireworks suddenly bloom)... This line refers to fireworks in a literal sense, but it is also a metaphor—youth is like fireworks, brilliant but fleeting.”

Seiji Fujiwara put down the documents and looked at Ken Sakaguchi: "Is that enough?"

Ken Sakaguchi's hand trembled slightly as he placed it on the table.

His voice was a little hoarse, "I'm so sorry, I actually doubted you!"

He stood up and bowed solemnly at a ninety-degree angle.

“I was ignorant.” Ken Sakaguchi looked up, his eyes full of admiration. “I never imagined that you were not only a genius writer, but also had such amazing talent in music…”

"It's alright, being cautious is the right thing to do," Fujiwara Seiji said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

“Um, Fujiwara-sensei, I…I have a favor to ask.” Sakaguchi Ken’s eyes became fervent.

"Ok?"

Ken Sakaguchi took a deep breath, his gaze resolute: "I want to resign from my job at Kuroiwa Law Firm and become your full-time lawyer."

Seiji Fujiwara paused for a moment: "A full-time lawyer?"

“Yes.” Ken Sakaguchi nodded. “I have worked at Kuroiwa Law Firm for thirteen years. Although the income is good and the future is bright, I always feel… something is missing.”

He paused, his tone becoming more serious:

"Until I met you!"

"Your talent has shown me entirely new possibilities."

"I believe that with you, I can do more meaningful things."

"so……"

0 .... ....

Ken Sakaguchi bowed deeply: "Please give me this opportunity."

Seiji Fujiwara looked at the elite lawyer in his early forties in front of him, feeling slightly surprised.

He knew Sakaguchi Ken's resume—a graduate of the Faculty of Law at Kyoto University, he had worked at Kuroiwa Law Firm for fifteen years and was already a candidate for senior partner, with an annual salary of at least 20 million yen.

Such a talented person proactively offered to become a full-time lawyer…

Seiji Fujiwara smiled.

“Attorney Sakaguchi, are you sure? A full-time lawyer is a profession that you can only do until you die; there is no possibility of quitting halfway.”

Being a full-time lawyer means having access to his core business.

That's their core team, a highly cohesive relationship where they'd go down with the ship even if it sank!

“This is exactly what I wanted!” Ken Sakaguchi stared intently at Seiji Fujiwara.

Seiji Fujiwara was silent for a moment, then extended his hand:

"Then welcome to the team, Attorney Sakaguchi."

Ken Sakaguchi grasped his hand, a genuine smile spreading across his face.

"Yes, boss!"
