Chapter 22: Why don't you sing it yourself!

~7 min read 1,248 words

Otomo Yoshimura's efficiency was very high. After a day, he found a music teacher who was said to be specially training artists to sing.

Otomo Yoshimura took Naoki Nagayama to a Western-style building. The room was full of musical instruments and various music books, as well as simple recording equipment, which should be convenient for students to listen to their own singing when teaching.

"Nagayama-san, this is Teacher Sachiko Tokunaga from Toho Gakuen School of Music." Upstairs, Naoki Nagayama met a dignified lady in her forties, "She is also a specially appointed vocal music teacher in our office, and has trained many idol singers~"

"Nice to meet you, Teacher Sachiko Tokunaga. I am Naoki Nagayama. Please take care of me in the future!" He bowed and greeted properly.

"Hai, nice to meet you, Nagayama-kun. Very happy to meet you." Seeing a young handsome guy, Sachiko Tokunaga was very happy.

"Since both sides know each other, then I will trouble you two later." After Otomo Yoshimura nodded to the two, he went to get busy silently.

After the door closed, Sachiko Tokunaga served tea to Naoki, and then said: "When I heard Otomo-kun say it, I was still very curious. A creator who has a famous song actually can't compose..."

"Hai, because it was a sudden inspiration, I have never learned music theory knowledge before." Naoki Nagayama also said frankly, "Last time, I also asked a friend to help compose the song."

"That is to say, the degree of having a little melody in your head?"

"No, Teacher Sachiko." Naoki Nagayama took out the copied lyrics, "Currently, the lyrics have been written, and the melody has been basically perfected."

"Ah, that is to say, it is basically a complete song, right."

"Hai, from my own point of view, I have already sung it, but I have no way to let others know the melody, and I have no way to play it."

Sachiko Tokunaga took the lyrics: "This is really strange. I have encountered students who couldn't compose but said they created songs before, but they were just a little melody."

"The lyrics are a bit sad." The teacher who read the lyrics said so.

"It is a song of regrettable love."

"Then I know. I'll trouble Nagayama-kun to sing it once first. Judging from the lyrics, it should be an excellent song. A little looking forward to it~" Sachiko Tokunaga seemed to be moved by the lyrics and took a breath to relieve her emotions.

Is the emotion of people who engage in music so rich? Naoki Nagayama was a little confused, and then he sang this "Sakura ~Anata ni Deaete Yokatta~" (Cherry Blossom Cherry Blossom, Want to See You) lightly.

Although this song is a girl's song, the male voice also has a unique flavor, especially Naoki Nagayama's voice is clear and bright, with a sense of jade.

After singing a song, Sachiko Tokunaga seemed to be still immersed in the song. Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but call out: "Teacher Sachiko?"

"Ah, it is indeed a good song, and it is also very sad~" Sachiko Tokunaga, "However, Nagayama-san really hasn't learned to sing, right... The singing method is a bit wrong, even though the voice condition is very good."

"Ah?" -_-||

"Haha, then Nagayama-san, let's start composing!" Sachiko Tokunaga was very excited, and started working like this.

Naoki Nagayama didn't even drink tea, and started to cooperate with the teacher to compose.

Sure enough, it is a professional. The work that took about 3 days with Reimi Hoshino before was much faster here at Sachiko Tokunaga. After listening to it once, Sachiko Tokunaga wrote down the rough melody, and then let Naoki Nagayama hum it a few times, and perfected the detailed score in contrast.

Finally, she played it with the piano at home, and let Naoki Nagayama correct it.

In total, it took about 3 hours to compose.

"Sugoi, Teacher Sachiko. The previous score was written with a friend for 3 days, and now it is done in less than an afternoon."

Sachiko Tokunaga was relatively plain: "Just listening to the song and composing, what is difficult about this."

She thought of how many students she had encountered before who wanted to compose but couldn't compose: "What is really difficult is the process of creating a song. There are not many geniuses like Nagayama-kun. How many creators can't write such excellent melodies even if they rack their brains."

Naoki Nagayama was very embarrassed. After all, he was copying "future knowledge": "I am just lucky."

Then he thought of the requirement of trial listening for Shuichi Ido and them, so he said to Sachiko Tokunaga: "Teacher Sachiko, I am a little embarrassed, but can I trouble you to help record it once? I want to let the people in the office listen to the complete song."

"There is no problem with trial listening, but without accompaniment... Can Nagayama-san play the piano?" Sachiko Tokunaga asked.

"Sumimasen, I can't..."

"Haha, I should have thought of it." Sachiko Tokunaga considered it, "Why don't Nagayama-san sing it yourself? Your voice condition is also very good."

"Ah, didn't you just say that my singing method is wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just a song. I will correct it at any time." Sachiko Tokunaga said that this was her job.

Since she said so, what can Naoki Nagayama do... "Hai, then I will try my best."

Sure enough, it was just a singing method of a song. After correcting it three or four times, Naoki Nagayama could already sing it coherently.

Then the music teacher took a blank tape and stuffed it into the recorder, started playing the piano accompaniment, and signaled Naoki Nagayama to start singing.

I didn't expect everything to be so fast. A divine song "Sakura ~Anata ni Deaete Yokatta~" (Cherry Blossom Cherry Blossom, Want to See You) that was sung in later generations, the trial version had already been recorded.

Looking at Sachiko Tokunaga skillfully sticking on the label, writing the song title, singer, lyricist, composer, it seems that composing and singing is not very difficult...

Naoki Nagayama thought that he might recall more songs in the future, and composing might be indispensable, so he asked: "Teacher Sachiko, can I learn composing and singing from you?"

Sachiko Tokunaga found that Naoki Nagayama was interested in learning more: "Of course, the office entrusted me to train artists."

"Not to mention teaching the handsome and genius Nagayama-san~"

It's over. Will this teacher also covet my beauty?

Since fitness and paying attention to styling, Naoki Nagayama has experienced attention he has never had before. Walking on the street, little sisters will come up to chat from time to time.

Fortunately, he is usually quite a homebody, doesn't go out much, and has a car to pick him up.

No wonder those handsome guys have to wear sunglasses...

Thinking wildly like this, Otomo Yoshimura parked the car under the Waseda apartment.

"Really trouble you, Otomo-san."

"Daijoubu, this is the manager's job, er... this is the responsibility of the office." Otomo Yoshimura almost regarded Naoki Nagayama as an artist of the office.

"Haha, Otomo-san, please bring this trial tape to Shuichi Ido-san and listen to see if it can be used as commercial background music."

"Hai, it will definitely be delivered."

"Thank you very much."

Until he couldn't see the taillights of Otomo Yoshimura's car, Naoki Nagayama went upstairs.

Thinking while walking, it seems that he really should buy a car... ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
