466. Not Rock Enough(1/2)

Manyumi Watanabe believes that the lyrics of this song are "perfect", but in fact, it is more just right than perfection.

"Just right" is a very wonderful state, which means that if you add any more lyrics to it, it will be suspected of being extravagant.

While singing and looking for feelings, Miwa-chan confirmed that the lyrics could not add any sentence.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi believed that the song was missing something and did not reach its true meaning. Miwa-chan trusted Shinichi Iwahashi's judgment, but also believed in his own feelings.

She was confident that she shouldn't add any more lyrics to it, but she also thought about Shinichi Iwahashi's problem.

While thinking, I sing this song "Future Prediction Picture ii".

After the first version of the set arrangement was slowly realized after "Looking, it was slowly realized as I imagined", the accompaniment did not fade out immediately, but instead connected an instrumental performance of about thirty seconds.

After singing her own part, she silently listened to the thirty-second accompaniment.

Thirty seconds were not long but not short. Miwa-chan now had to think about what to add to it, so she listened carefully. However, while listening, she suddenly thought of something.

If you want to sing this song at a concert, until the accompaniment is completely over and before the next song is switched to, what will the audience do and what will she do in these thirty seconds?

Will the audience listen to the last thirty seconds of accompaniment in the audience silently?

So what about her? In these thirty seconds, should she stand on the stage and silently watch the audience's reactions?

Miwa-chan thought to herself that she should use these thirty seconds to perform an impromptu performance to drive the atmosphere in the venue.

She has loved Western music since she was a child, especially listening to a large number of jazz music. After coming to Tokyo from Hokkaido, she also worked as a jazz singer in the club. She has a deep jazz foundation and advocates the free performance of jazz music, which reflects this in her music.

During live performances, she will use these thirty seconds to improvise the show.

So, what will people who listen to records do when listening to these thirty seconds?

Even Miwa-chan glanced at the three people opposite the glass wall. What were the three of them thinking in these thirty seconds? A naughty thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

Shinichikun, Masato Sang, and Watanabe Sang, are now her audiences. Just like facing the audience at a concert, how about an impromptu performance in these thirty seconds?

Shen Yijun said, what's missing from the real one.

Then let’s have an impromptu performance to scare him and see how he will react...

Miwa-chan made up her mind and was in a good mood, so she naturally got into the state. When she sang the second time, her mood changed. Facing the three people opposite the glass wall, she simply thought it was a concert than when she was recording.

So, after "Look, it slowly realized as I imagined", Miwa-chan, whose emotions were brewing, added an impromptu performance without lyrics in the last thirty seconds.

On this side of the glass wall, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but hold his breath when he heard her first raising the tune. He stared at Miwa-chan opposite him. At this moment, she had entered his own world.

She seemed to ignore the audience here, but she seemed to be singing with great interest for more listeners.

She has been raising her tone repeatedly and spends her singing capital freely. It can be said that only she, who has first-class singing skills, can stand up and afford such a performance.

Several consecutive upscaling made the three people who were listening here unconsciously follow her voice, getting higher and higher, and getting more and more full.

With such an impromptu performance, the feeling of something immediately erupting becomes stronger and stronger.

Until it reaches the highest point

"Huh~"

The moment the improvisation ended, the three people on the glass wall breathed a sigh of relief. Then, what echoed in my heart was a sense of satisfaction of being well received.

It's simply a stroke of magic.

"Perfect." Brother Nakamura said.

Watanabe Manyumi was also incredible. Before that, she never thought that she could hear such a recording and witness how Mika Yoshida added luster to a song that was already excellent.

At this time, she remembered what Shinichi Iwahashi said just now, "It's still a little short of it" and couldn't help but look at his reaction.

After adding this improvisation, the whole song has reached a new level. From this point of view, what Shinichi Iwahashi said is indeed correct. So, has Yoshida Mihe achieved what he said?

Shinichi Iwahashi was about to take off his headphones when he talked to them about the impromptu performance of Miwa-chan just now. At this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong and started operating the equipment on his own.

After confirming the recording just now, he took off his headphones, "It's amazing."

When he said this, he looked like he was smiling.

Brother Nakamura and Manyumi Watanabe who took off his headphones at the same time were convinced that he was in a good mood when he saw his expression. Because Miwa-chan sang the impromptu performance for more than thirty seconds just now.

Even more than a minute.

After the accompaniment was played, she ignored or forgot that the accompaniment in her headphones had disappeared, and completed a complete improvisational performance in her own rhythm.

As for this, the three of them were intoxicated by this improvisational performance, and no one realized that the accompaniment belt had been put out. In other words, they still had not finished their feelings about this improvisational when they knew that the accompaniment belt had been put out.

Therefore, each of them ignored this matter.

Brother Nakamura smiled into an emoticon again, "It's really amazing."

Ordinary audience members of Watanabe Manyumi didn't know what to say for a moment, so they could only put down their headphones and wait to listen to what the three of them said. But in their hearts, there was no need to say much about Yoshida Mi and this improvised comment.

Anyone who has seen Yoshida Mikata's talents will not be surprised by the opportunity of Shinichi Iwahashi's entry into the industry because he wanted to promote her.

...

Miwa-chan also listened to the recording just now. She didn't care about the a cappella without accompaniment and asked Shinichi Iwahashi, "Is it OK to sing like this?"

When she was satisfied with singing, she looked particularly like a child. Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her, "Of course there is no problem... Now, it's time to solve the problem with Masato Sang."

"Extend this last accompaniment a little longer, and behave like a man." Shinichi Iwahashi said.

Masato Nakamura also expressed his agreement, "...I'll give Miwachan enough time to let everyone see."

The two teammates reached a consensus almost immediately and began to study the second arrangement version. Miwa-chan's task came to an end for the time being. She was free and looked at another person in the recording studio.

When Watanabe Manyumi was studying the new arrangement version together in Shinichi Iwabashi and Masato Nakamura, she thought of something and her expression became a little serious.

However, it was difficult for them to throw cold water to interrupt their inspiration and said nothing.

Miwachan observed Watanabe Manyumi's expression and pouted, thinking.

...

The arrangement of the second version is still Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura to make an idea and then hand it over to Brother Nakamura to complete. With one version already in place, it is mainly focused on the last improvisation performance, and it has not been discussed for too long.

After a fixed idea, Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the time and then at Manyumi Watanabe.

When I came here, in order to facilitate movement, Watanabe Manyumi was riding in Shinichi Iwahashi's car. At this moment, the song she was going to listen to was finished. Before starting work, I should send her back to the office.

"Send me back, do you want to come back again?"

Come out of the recording studio and stand in the aisle, Watanabe Manyumi said to him, "I'll just take a taxi back by myself."

"It won't take long to go back to the office here..." Shinichi Iwahashi said this, seeing that she had made up her mind and changed her words, "Okay."

He walked to the front desk and called the taxi company.

Then, the two walked out of the recording studio together and came to the side of the main road.

"It's a great song, Shinichikkun." Wanyumi Watanabe looked at the straight asphalt road and suddenly started the topic.

Shinichi Iwahashi paid attention to the taxi for her, "It's true. There's the last improvisation, which is really unexpected. If Miwa-chan had it, it wouldn't be surprising."

"Well..." Watanabe Manyumi was ambiguous.

This ambiguous attitude made Iwahashi look at her immediately.

"Shen Yijun."

Only the two of them, Watanabe Manyumi was able to express her concerns just now, "Extend the accompaniment and leave time for Yoshida Sang to freely play. In that case, the length of the song will also change."

"Um."

The first arrangement version is about five minutes. If the accompaniment is extended, the final product of the song will definitely exceed six minutes, or even more than seven minutes.

Manyumi Watanabe reminded him, "We only have five minutes to perform at the Red and White Song Club."

Shinichi Iwahashi's expression became serious.

“This song is really good.”

"But, it has another characteristic, which is that it is connected. It is a different story if it is already familiar songs, but according to your expectations, removing any of the lyrics will make it lose its color."

Originally, I could only finish singing in five minutes, but now I add this improvisation and it is obviously not enough time. However, no matter which segment I cut off, the song will be reduced.

Watanabe Manyumi's reminder made Shinichi Iwahashi again in a dilemma.

At this time, the taxi came over and stopped in front of them. Watanabe Manyumi and Shinichi Iwahashi said goodbye, "Then, I will lose my companion first."

As soon as she got into the car, Shinichi Iwahashi also got into the car.

Watanabe Manyumi looked at him, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Let's continue." Shinichi Iwahashi said to her.

Watanabe Manyumi reported the address and spoke to him, "What are you going to do?"

"Work with nhk and extend five minutes to seven minutes. Can you give it a try?"

Wanyumi Watanabe is not optimistic. "For more than seven minutes, the Music Association will calculate it as two songs. The stage of the Red and White Song Club is also a game between various forces. Giving newcomers five minutes is almost the limit."

"But we should give it a try," said Shinichi Iwahashi.

Watanabe Manyumi's rare expression was a bit dissatisfied and did not answer this sentence. "If you look at it now, it is the most realistic way to reduce the duration of this song, or..."

Or don't sing this song, prepare another song.
To be continued...
