Tokyo Sound

There were no lyrics at first, just a short hum.

Light and long.

Jian Qi Jing Xiang, who was watching the audience, frowned immediately. This didn't seem right as expected. Not only was it wrong, but also - what a beautiful vibrato? So fast and thin!

Kenki Kyoka played musical instruments when she was a student. After graduating from university, she worked in music-related jobs. Later, she focused on being a band manager. She has a rich resume and some stories, although they are not as good as those of Kashiwai. She has been dealing with singers for so long, so of course she has a certain ability to distinguish.

"A tone full of texture." Jianqi Jingxiang whispered. It was like flipping through a book by the fireplace, telling a story, gentle and clean.

The man's singing continued to be heard from the professional headphones.

This is a song that focuses on emotions, with little technical flourishes.

'The warmth fades, the colors fade away'

'The existence before my eyes is so fragile and insignificant, and yet it is the world that you praise.'

'In a dream, across time, a figure is engraved in the pure white light and shadow.'

Very stable, with great control over his voice, without any pulling, the sound completely follows the owner's will. From time to time, there is a switch in the resonance point... The vibrato is also very technically placed, and never used too much. Although he is not the type who uses a lot of vibrato, when he adds it, it is very natural, low-key, tasteful, and leads the audience to engage.

'Sing this nameless poem to the blue sky.'

'Suddenly in a dream, I look for your figure.'

'The crimson flower is like the pulse of you and me.'

Kenqi Kyoka unconsciously began to bite her nails, a habit she developed from her previous job.

Technology is important, but the existence of one's own voice is precious. Everyone's vocal cords are a kind of musical instrument, with a shape like a saxophone or a piano. So it depends on each person's conditions, and there are only so many changes that each person can make. But he has developed his voice so powerfully, and after adding technology, it is such a comfortable tone.

Can you cut resonance? This kind of person can't even read music?

Tomoyuki Kadoishi didn't know much about music, but he had a basic aesthetic sense.

The reaction is also very simple. It sounds really good!

The pronunciation, the musicality, the emotion.

I see. I was just being modest!

The Taiko master must have been tired from practicing his voice and was just having fun.

"This song is well written, and the chorus is great, worthy of being Chisa Amemori." Kadoishi Tomoyuki nodded heavily. Although I haven't heard much about her, I know that she is a famous talented singer and songwriter.

Uh-huh.

Kenqi Kyoka nodded unconsciously.

It really has Chisa's style and flavor.

what.

Wait a moment.

Wait a minute…?

Isn't this Chisa? !

“???” Jianqi Jingxiang analyzed the situation quickly in her mind, and when she realized what was happening, she was stunned.

When the song ended, Yin Ze walked out.

"Oh! You sing so well!" Kadoishi Tomoyuki's long-cherished wish was fulfilled and his expectations were completely satisfied. He was full of energy, as if he was five years younger.

"It's because the teacher demonstrated well and taught well." Yin Ze said with a sense of guilt.

It was clearly a brilliant performance, why are you not happy? You are so strict with yourself, Kazuoishi Tomoyuki thought.

At this time, Jianqi Jingxiang walked over, glanced silently, reached out and touched someone's shoulder, and pinched someone's face, as if looking for a mask or something.

Yin Ze was a little confused.

"It's true, there is no painted skin." Jianqi Jingxiang said shockingly.

Yin Ze suddenly felt a little scared. What had this second generation encountered before?

"Are you really a genius?" Jian Qi Jing Xiang was extremely surprised, "Am I really the chosen one?"

"It's really good, but it has some flaws..." Tomoyuki Kadoishi said suddenly.

"Do you understand?" Kenqi Kyoka was even more surprised. With such a stable performance, there was still a problem.

"I didn't use Haruma Amajouin, and I didn't use the character's voice to sing." Tomoyuki Kadoishi pointed out.

"Hiss." Yin Ze had never expected this and took a deep breath. He remembered Dong Ma's voice... but he really forgot what Haruma's voice was!

"It's okay, it's okay. There's no need to recover." Kadoishi Tomoyuki was relieved again. "Your voice is the same as your character's."

Jianqi Jingxiang couldn't help but look sideways. This person was actually better at educating people about happiness than she was.

Is this the magic of Fukuzawa Yukichi?

Chapter 89: Mars or Not Mars

"Thank you for your hard work today. Please give me your guidance next time." Kenki Kyoka said goodbye to the chief producer in a very formal manner.

"With this song, we can act more easily. Let's have dinner together next time. I will reserve a seat at Ryūmian-tei in advance." Kadoishi Tomoyuki, who had just finished listening to the song, was full of motivation.

"It's best to book a room on the second floor by the window..." Yin Ze's expression changed, but before he could finish his words, his agent took him away like a child from kindergarten.

The two men walked out of the building and onto the street.

"I'll give you a ride." Jianqi Jingxiang drove here today.

"I ride a motorcycle." Yin Ze said frankly.

"Oh, then let's go home." Kenqi Kyoka said without any hesitation.

"Didn't you say you were going to meet someone and have a meal?" Yin Ze was a little annoyed. When he faced the second generation, he always had the illusion that he was looking in the mirror. It was very annoying and he couldn't help asking.

"It's just an excuse. We won't cooperate in the future. I don't want to waste my time socializing." Kenqi Kyoka shrugged.

"How can this be a waste of time?" Yin Ze taught earnestly, "In business matters, whether we can cooperate depends on fate. Even if we can't reach an agreement, just treat it as making friends. We are all in the same circle. You must know that as an agent, connections, credibility, and reputation are the most important."

"You just want him to treat you." Jian Qi Jingxiang's smile was disdainful at first, but then turned into kindness. "Haha, but I'm glad you think so. It shows that you also have the potential to lead a team."

"?" Yin Ze frowned, feeling a little uneasy suddenly.

"And I didn't expect that you are such a good singer. You even said that you couldn't understand the music score. I almost got fooled by you." Jianqi Jingxiang folded her hands again and looked at her.

"I am so ashamed." Yin Ze stopped thinking about his previous uneasiness and answered.

"It's just very strange. Your singing style and habits are too similar to Chisa's." Kenki Kyoka was very confused. "If it weren't for your different voice conditions and different voices, I would have thought it was a recorded version. It's really puzzling."

"Teacher Yusen is indeed a very talented singer." Yin Ze said seriously. After all, his main job is voice actor, and he has been in the industry for many years, so he has a lot of experience in using voice.

Although singing and dubbing are two different things, they both rely on the voice to make a living, and there are some similarities. Relying on the common breath proficiency accumulated in daily life, the Life Corridor will overclock and accurately control the respiratory organs, vocal organs, resonance organs, and articulation organs, so as to imitate this song with relatively high quality. Software drives hardware, which has always been the best thing of the Life Corridor.

However, without systematic training, this is just a poor imitation of one-on-one songs, and he still cannot sing other songs independently. His songs were banned, so he retired. If he wants to increase his song library, he must continue to analyze and sing along with singles. On this road of music, he is just a precisely set puppet, far from being comparable to people like Yu Mori Chisa.

If you want to really make progress, you have to start from the basics.

Just like dubbing, when you debut as a dude, you still have to rely on the corridors to cheer you up. After years of polishing, now you can still show your strength as a professional voice actor without the corridors. As for technology, as long as you work hard in the right direction and persevere, you will achieve something. For example, the moves of Kaiba Seto and Muto Yugi in the first few episodes were very awkward and lacked strength. After one or two hundred episodes, each one was more passionate and exciting than the other, with full tension and cross-dimensional synchronization.

Yin Ze has matched so many orders, and he was also fed up. Of course, he can't compare with top actors like Matsuoka Yoshitsugu without any outfit... There are also strong and weak professionals. As for Shimazaki Nobunaga, it's a 50-50 split.

"There are still a few songs. I'd like to trouble you to find a teacher to demonstrate for me." Yin Ze rubbed his hands embarrassedly and asked.

"What do you mean?" Jian Qi Jing Xiang pondered, looked at the shame on someone's face, and suddenly widened her eyes, "I will not introduce you to Qian Sha, just give up - although you and her may have a common language in music, but now that things have come to this, I have to say something unpleasant, this is a shame!"

"I just want to complete my music library for Live, why is sister attacking me?" Yin Ze was stunned, "I am doing this for work!"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Kenqi Kyoka expressed her obedience.

The two of them discussed for a while, but since they were people of the same type, neither of them could gain any advantage, so they ended up going back home.

Kenqi Kyoka sat in the car, not in a hurry to leave, but slowly made a phone call.

……

In the quiet countryside far away from Tokyo.

Kashiwa Ippei was staying in a small space, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking, as if he was meditating. He took long breaths, as if he was looking for harmony between man and nature in the silence, and finding that wonderful balance.

dong dong dong.

There was an unexpected knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Kashiwa Ippei asked.

"Your call." Dad's voice was loud and clear.

"Leave it there. I can't leave. I'll call you back later." Kashiwai Ippei gathered his spirits and continued to practice meditation.

However, the toilet door was suddenly opened.

"No, Dad, why is the call so urgent? Can't you put it aside?" Kashiwa Ippei was sitting on the toilet with his legs crossed, grabbing his pants, speechless.

"It's from Tokyo." Dad ignored the awkward terrain and handed over the phone persistently. Although the smell in the small toilet was not very fresh, the father's expression was firm, very much like a reliable tough guy in a commercial blockbuster who entrusted important props to the protagonist.

"Okay, okay, okay, I got it, you should get out now," Kashiwa Ippei urged. He had caught a cold in his stomach these past few days and felt uncomfortable. He had just started to prepare, but his state was interrupted.

"Yeah." Dad nodded calmly, stepped back and closed the door. But after closing it, he didn't walk away, but huddled beside the door and listened attentively. The reliable tough guy turned into an ambitious spy.

The mother was in the living room, looking over here, a little speechless. She was naturally concerned about something, and she could see that her son had experienced trauma during those years in Tokyo, like pebbles being washed away, leaving too many invisible traces. But she felt that her husband's behavior of eavesdropping in the toilet was a bit too avant-garde or retro. I'm afraid that fifth-grade boys would no longer guard the toilet.

"Hello?" Kashiwa Ippei answered the phone.

"I've done what you asked me to do." said Kenqi Kyoka.

"Very good. Is it well done?" Kashiwai Ippei asked in a deep voice.

"Of course." Jianqi Jingxiang tilted her head, "Why are you talking with reverberation? Where are you?"

"Uh, loading potatoes in the cellar," Kashiwa Ippei said. Things like bathroom acoustics don't need to be explained so clearly.

"You're not in the bathroom, are you?" Kenqi Kyoka was speechless.

"You can guess this!" Kashiwa Ippei was shocked.

"Alas, these days, the scenes you find yourself in are either trying to cheat old ladies out of their vegetables or going to the river to catch shrimps. It's less and less like the old Dentsu Man." Jian Qi Jingxiang sighed.

"Don't slander me. I helped with the vegetables, and they were gifts from others. I caught the shrimps to help the old man collect the fishing nets. My retirement life is very comfortable. I enjoy the work and go fishing when I have nothing to do. It's much more comfortable than living in Tokyo with all the intrigue." Kashiwai Ippei snorted.

"You're still fishing at your level? Won't you catch nothing every time?"

"How dare you be so sure!"

"If you really caught something, would you not post it on your Moments?" Kenqi Kyoka said calmly.

"Okay, okay, wait, I'll catch a big one someday and scare all of you to death." Kashiwa Ippei was so angry that he laughed. He had been in the business for many years, using profit as bait, and had hooked so many people, trapped so many competitors, and even caught dragons, so how could he not be able to catch a mere river fish.

"I've already secured a contract with Side M." Kenki Kyoka said, "I didn't expect his singing is quite good."

"It's a pity that I didn't make full use of it and discover it when I was in office, otherwise I would have achieved idolization long ago." Now that another cause and effect has been resolved, Kashiwai Ippei can't help but look back, but he just thought about it and asked again, "'Gal' has broken 3 billion yen, right?"

"Yes. What instructions does the first generation have?" asked Kenqi Kyoka.

"He is constantly raising the ceiling of the voice actor industry. The professional image has been refreshed. With his example, future voice actors will probably face less resistance when they step in front of the screen to act." Kashiwai Ippei smiled, "With his personality and the way he handles things, he shouldn't make any enemies in the industry. But with such a high reputation, he has to be careful of the journalists behind him... There may even be Bunshun paparazzi following him. Tell him to be careful. I don't want to see news of his downfall in the newspapers or on the Internet."

"What can he do?" Jian Qi Jing Xiang asked calmly, "It is possible that he was rumored to have had plastic surgery secretly."

Kashiwa Ippei opened his mouth and found that he had no way to refute it. What is there to be said about a Buddhist parasite?

"Didn't I hear that you were going to have a blind date before? How's the follow-up?" Kenqi Kyoka talked about other things.

"Oh, I went to meet the girl and went to a nearby big town and had a meal," said Kashiwai Ippei.

"That's all?" Kenqi Kyoka asked.

"Haha, I also watched a movie, 'Hot Girl'. It was really well made." Kashiwai Ippei said happily.

"..."Kenki Kyoka, who was hundreds of kilometers away, rolled her eyes.

"It seems like I'll introduce a few more candidates." Kashiwai Ippei thought for a while.

"Oh, so you are here to make a choice?" It was Jian Qijing's turn to laugh.

"Whatever you say, a blind date is all about choosing each other and being attracted to each other," said Kashiwa Ippei.

"Do you regret not flirting with actresses when you were an official at Dentsu?" Kenqi Kyoka began to lasso.

"What are you talking about? I was only thinking about my career at that time, didn't you know that? I thought you understood me. Alas, it really makes me sad." Kashiwa Ippei defended easily.

"Okay, that's my question. That's all for today. I won't disturb you while you're using the toilet. I wish you good health." Jianqi Jingxiang hung up the phone.
