378. Extraordinary
(Two chapters in one chapter)
Okamoto Natsuo's words focused everyone's attention on Kusui Yukiko.
Amid the lively cheering, although Haruko Akamatsu did not say a word, she also looked at Yukiko Kazui with curious eyes.
Tonight, Kuchi Yukiko gave Akamatsu Haruko the impression that a girl who was unwilling to show off and was a little shy and restrained, and didn't know how to integrate into the friendship atmosphere was exactly the same as her performance at the friendship.
I can guess that she was also called by her friends to attend the sorority party.
In such an occasion, even if Okamoto Natsuo is talking sarcastically, Kusui Yukiko is not good at singing, but is trying to do it (it means not being good at it), and everyone will not be disappointed.
To put it bluntly, singing to Karaoke is just a part of the friendship activities, in order to liven up the atmosphere. If you sing well, you are a Karaoke singer, and if you don’t sing well, you won’t be laughed at.
However, the association tonight has been going all the way to the present. Seeing Okamoto Natsuko taking good care of Kusui Yukiko, she obviously would not ignore her friends' shy and restrained personality and cheer in public just to liven up the atmosphere, but to think so sincerely.
Since the decision to go behind the scenes, Haruko Akamatsu has frequently gone out to livehouse to watch the performances. Therefore, unlike the cheering people present who only pays attention to the atmosphere, he cared more about the performance of Kusui Yukiko.
How good is this Pu Chisang singing?
The reason why he responded to Yukiko Kazui such curiosity is also related to the favorable feeling generated by the subtle mutual understanding between him and Yukiko Kazui tonight.
...
Yukiko Kasui, who was introduced to everyone by Okamoto Natsuo, faced with the cheering, at first showed a hint of shyness and restraint of a person who was unwilling to show off, but holding the microphone, he had no intention of escaping.
Others probably think that Okamoto Natsuo's approach was intended to liven up the atmosphere, but Kuchiko remembered what her friend said when she asked her to join the friendship, and knew that this was an "opportunity" that Okamoto Natsuo was kindly created for her.
However, "shocking the record company's people" was just Okamoto's wishful naive idea.
When he was still a girl, although Yukiko Kuchi often had some girlish dreams, compared with other girls, she still retained a little rationality in her dreams. Later, she joined the company and became a fan-collar clan, and this rationality never disappeared.
Now, after entering the art world and becoming a model, this sense of rationality has become more precious and practical.
The art world is full of temptation, but the model circle is particularly special. As long as there is a little unrealistic fantasy, it is not far from falling into a lost situation.
In this circle, you can still keep your original intention unchanged. You have to work three times more than people in other industries, and you have to be thirty times more pious about your dreams.
When she decided to sign a contract with Xingchen Firm, the scout who found her told her, "Now is the era of selling things that can be sold."
The art world, especially the modeling world, is such a circle that fully interprets this sentence. As long as there is a slight waver, then "self" will disappear in such an environment.
However, it is precisely because of being in such an era of selling things that can be sold and entering a circle of selling things that can be sold, that Yukiko Kazui understands something better than in the past.
That is, in this world, there are things that cannot be sold in any way.
It is precisely because of this idea that Yukiko Kuchi can defend her "self" in such an environment.
After understanding this, Yukiko Puchi felt more awake, and she became more rational than the slightest rationality she was born in before. She knew and could also distinguish what was real opportunity, what was futile, and what was trapped that looked like opportunity.
Office workers at the record company may have heard something from Natsuo Okamoto in advance, and then they made the appearance of an expert's praise.
But even so, Yukiko Kasui didn't feel like she had the opportunity to come.
It was because he was grateful to Okamoto Natsuo for remembering her dream that he came to join the friendship. Just now, this record company's office worker looked at Shinichi Iwahashi's attitude of being so frivolous and despising the valuable quality of "working" made Yukiko Kazui even more sure that the opportunity was not on this person.
However, although it is a dream to become a singer, and although you will look forward to the arrival of opportunities, singing is not for the sake of opportunities.
When those opportunities, whether true or false, are not in front of you, even if music can only be an embellishment of life, even if she becomes a housewife, she will sing while preparing meals.
If you want to deny the "opportunity is here", it is no different from the karaoke session in an ordinary sorority party, and it is no different when you go to karaoke singing with models of the same period.
Thinking of this, Kuchi Yukiko was calm instead. She was neither embarrassed by the sudden push to the limelight, nor did she have the aura of showing off her skills.
It is better to say that it is neither self-confidence nor lack of self-confidence, but a natural way of holding the microphone.
She used the singing ordering device to think about her specialty songs, and then selected Deng Lijun's "Farewell" (the premonition of separation).
...
Although Deng Lijun actually said that she should be a pop singer, she was active as a singer when she first appeared on stage in Japan and published many songs during the development of Japan.
As her representative work, "Airport", as well as the love trilogy "つぐない" (repayment), "Love", and "Time Flow" (no matter how time passes by, that is, I only care about you) are all songs.
As a singer who is famous, he is also included in the range of singers.
When he first went to Japan, Deng Lijun signed a production in Watanabe and worked closely with the singer-song singer Morichi. It is said that the two of them had been in a relationship. They also had many times on the same stage with another singer-song singer Hiroshi Gogi. There were rumors in the martial arts world that once refused to be moved by Hiroshi Gogi, but the truth is unknown.
In short, when it comes to Deng Lijun and singing, there are various connections.
Since you are a singer, you will feel a little bit like "people who are a little older will like it."
It is not specifically referring to middle-aged and elderly people. It is better to say that compared to unmarried people, married people have a deeper understanding of singing and are more likely to like singing.
For example, for example, Deng Lijun's song "Love" means lover in Japanese. Having the subtleties of having lovers and being lovers is something that young people find difficult for them to understand and understand.
The style of the song and the themes in the songs filter out many young audiences and is destined to be something like aged wine. Only as you get older can you gradually experience the flavor.
In addition, the young generation today has experienced the impact and baptism of a series of new music, and is in a fast-paced era. Songs and ballads have become difficult to impress them, and the style and structure of the music have gradually become "outdated".
While all kinds of musical styles are blooming, the market for singing is gradually shrinking.
Deng Lijun's song "The Premonition of Farewell" was originally created as a sequel to the love trilogy. The production team is like the previous three songs, composed by Miki and written by Toshiki Araki. These two are also the fixed teams of Deng Lijun's cooperation in Japan. Deng Lijun's road to popularity in Japan is inseparable from these golden partners.
However, during the production of this song "Premonition of Parting", Deng Lijun suffered a serious kidney disease, and vocalization in Dantian will cause kidney pain, so he had to change his vocalization method.
The singing style has changed, leaving the style of singing, and the arrangement style has also changed. In contrast, the popularity of the song has become more intense.
In this way, the fourth part has a subtle sense of separation from the previous trilogy, and the plan to upgrade the four-part trilogy is failed.
However, although it was not possible to be put together with those three famous songs, this "Premonition of Separation" was different from the popular flavor of the song, beautiful melody, and dreamy and fashionable arrangement. After its release, it became a representative work in another sense.
Even when Pu Chi Yuki was an unmarried fan collar, she always liked Deng Lijun's songs and was convinced by her grasp of feelings. After the release of this "Premonition of Farewell", she repeatedly heard it.
After a prelude with a romance, a slight dream, and a little sadness, Kuchi Yukiko sang the first line of the song, "I almost cried and loved you in pain."
...
Kuchi Yukiko showed her singing voice. Everyone present had a "very powerful" reaction, shaking her hands and ringing the bell to help her, but there was only that "very powerful" reaction, and there would be no more.
In occasions like a sorority club, singing is just an embellishment, just one of the entertainment projects tonight. For these people, in addition to the impression of Kusui Yukiko's "introverted and shy" tonight, there is another "very good at singing".
However, Haruko Akamatsu found it very interesting to watch Kuchiko singing.
Kuchi Yukiko sings very well and her voice is accurate enough. This is probably the first reaction of the people sitting here to listen to her singing and the most direct reaction. Haruko Akamatsu is no exception.
As soon as Kuchi Yuki opened her mouth, the first thing that came to her was that it sounded very nice.
It not only means that she sings well, but because her voice is really nice.
Singing has acquired skills and teachers can give you guidance, but sound is born unless you have any surgery on your throat.
A natural good voice may not be the kind of high notes that can overturn the roof, or a subwoofer that opens its mouth may sound "medium", but it just makes people's ears shine.
Kuchi Yukiko sang this song "Premonition of Farewell" with devoted attention. Once she started singing, as she immersed herself in the song, the impression she gave people seemed a little different.
She is no longer so thin, "introverted and shy" or the intuitive, "very good at singing", she gradually forgot her nervousness. She is not trying to use skills to perfectly complete the singing, but devotes herself to the song.
Puchi Yukiko's voice is clear and bright, while Deng Lijun's voice is sweet and round. The song "Presentials of Farewell" in my impression is sung by Deng Lijun, light and like a dream, with Japanese-style sorrow.
However, this song was sung by Yukiko Kasui, and her clear voice gave the song a hint of clean and neat meaning.
Yukiko Kasui, who looks so implicit, feels like this when she sings. It’s not for no reason. Haruko Akamatsu wants to listen to Yukiko Kasui sing rock music.
...
After singing a "Premonition of Farewell", everyone applauded and cheered for Yukiko Kasui.
"Excuse me, Pu Chisang"
"So amazing!"
Everyone praised Kusui Yukiko, but Okamoto Natsuki said, "Just say I didn't exaggerate it, so I'll just increase everyone's expectations?"
She looked proud and sincerely thought that Pu Chi Yukiko sang nicely. If others praised Pu Chi Yukiko, she would also feel happy, and she had a sense of recognition that she had also been recognized.
Indeed, as a recommender, her recommendation was successful.
And the end of the song, like the magic with time effects, ended here, and Yukiko Kasui returned to that state of implicit appearance.
"Pu Chisang is really good at singing and looks at him with admiration." said the office worker of Dejian Records. "Why would you be a model with such a level? It would be a pity that you can't become a singer."
Such words sound regretful for her, but they are really not clever enough.
Being a model is not a "mistraight" in life. When Kuchiko thought of this, she smiled implicitly and nodded politely to the office worker of Tokuma Records, and then her eyes fell on Haruko Akamatsu.
The two girls who met for the first time but unexpectedly understood each other tonight exchanged glances. Then, Yukiko Kasui handed the microphone to Haruko Akamatsu.
The next person to sing is Haruko Akamatsu.
"What should Chi Songsang sing?"
"welcome"
"It's not that I want to deliberately raise your expectations, but Haruko is also very good at singing!" The friend who called Haruko Akamatsu probably thought it was interesting to say this after Okamoto Natsuo and announced loudly.
"Really or not?"
"Of course it's true. Haruko has been the lead singer of the band and has performed at the campus festival." My friend talked about this.
"Akasongsang? Lead singer?"
Everyone's reaction was incredible. Such a shy person had been the lead singer in the band and performed publicly?
Yukiko Kasui couldn't help but go to see Haruko Akamatsu.
Has Akamatsusan not only worked part-time at genzo, but also served as the band's lead singer? She found it a little incredible. But, when she thought about it on the other hand, she felt it was not surprising.
In fact, Haruko Akamatsu, who is so dignified, looks like a good family background, is already a part-time job in genzo. This itself can already explain many things.
Haruko Akamatsu was told by a friend that she had been the lead singer of the band, but she didn't take it seriously, and she had taken the singing instrument.
