"Mr. Kitaro has been awarded for you. I have long admired Daime for you. The song "Silk Road" you wrote a few years ago has benefited a lot from me. It's a pity that I was still in high school when you held a concert in Beijing a few years ago. I didn't have the opportunity to attend. It's really a pity." Li Yange sighed, as if he really regretted not being able to attend that concert for the rest of his life.

"Haha, if Mr. Li wants to listen, I will give you a few tickets to the concert in the future if you have the chance to perform in China in the future." Kitaro, who has been famous for many years, has long been tired of the praise from others, but he is very helpful to Li Yange's compliment. After all, Ryuichi Sakamoto has always praised Li Yange before, and now the other party seems to be his own music fan. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the joyful mood.

"Then I'm looking forward to Mr. Kitaro's concert tickets." Li Yange smiled. He knew why Ryuichi Sakamoto brought Kitaro over here, not just for the synthetic music needed in "Dawn of Heroes".

Kitaro has been exposed to high-tech synthesizers since the early 1970s and was the first to play electronic music. In 1978, he released his first music album "Celestial Realm", which included a large amount of electronic synthesized music. In the music of the same name created for the documentary "Silk Road" in 1980, he also used a lot of electronic synthesized music. In terms of electronic synthesizers, he is a well-deserved master.

"It must be!" Kitaro smiled heartily, and he asked, "I heard from Ryuichi that Mr. Li is playing an animated film recently for Toei Co., Ltd."

"Yes, it's an animation soundtrack about "The Three Kingdoms".

"I wonder if Mr. Li has finished writing it?"

"I have written a few songs and I am trying to find a way to record them first. I was going to go to Polykin to borrow some of them. But I'm not afraid of the two jokes. My album sales are bleak, so I feel embarrassed to borrow them."

Li Yange calmly told the story of poor album sales, after all, sooner or later, they would know it.

Upon hearing this, Kitaro did not ask about the album, but waved his hand and said, "If Mr. Li doesn't mind, you might as well go to my personal recording studio. Although it is not as good as Polykin's recording studio, there are all equipment that should be available, and it is not very far away."

"This..." Li Yange glanced at Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Ryuichi Sakamoto nodded slightly and smiled: "Mr. Li, there are many equipments in Kitaro's recording studio that I'm jealous of."

At this moment, Li Yange didn't know what Ryuichi Sakamoto meant, and immediately smiled and said, "Then I'm more respectful than obedience. Speaking of which, if Mr. Sakamoto and Mr. Kitaro are there, I think I can help me find out the shortcomings of these songs."

...

...

Kitaro Li Yango visited the studio he founded. The studio is not large in size, but there are quite a lot of employees, at least a dozen. They are all excellent young musicians recruited by Kitaro after signing with Geffen Records in the United States last year in order to better create songs, rather than having to find someone to rehearse the songs themselves after writing them.

Kitaro handed the manuscript paper that Li Yange gave him to the female clerk in the studio, "Shiko, go and print this score and notify everyone to go to the recording studio for rehearsal later."

"Okay sir." Shizuko nodded, turned around and ran to print it with the score.

"Let's go! Mr. Li takes you to see my recording studio!"

After pushing open the door of the recording studio, Kitaro said proudly: "Mr. Li, my recording studio took me a lot of time to create it. No matter what kind of music you need, it can be made using electronic synthesis!"

Seeing the dazzling array of equipment, especially a Sony brand electronic synthesizer, Li Yange was shocked.

He knew this synthesizer. It was the latest electronic synthesizer launched by Sony last year. Its functions have been very perfect and can be said to be almost omnipotent. Almost all common instrumental music can be made, no less than the electronic synthesizer decades later.

Such a good electronic synthesizer is naturally extremely expensive. Even Polygon has only two, and Kitaro has one in his personal recording studio. With the rest of the recording and tuning equipment, you can imagine how much money Kitaro spent to build this recording studio.

Ryuichi Sakamoto slowed down and after being side by side with Li Yange, he smiled and said, "How is it, I'm right, not only the recording studio, but also Kitaro's studio, are among the best in Japan."

"It's really amazing!" Li Yange nodded in agreement. He hadn't seen some domestic musician studios before, but none of them had raised a small band as luxuriously as Kitaro to serve him.

Soon, Shizuko walked in with the orchestra in the studio. Kitaro looked at Li Yango and said, "Mr. Li, they are all musicians I specially found who are proficient in various Chinese musical instruments. I will leave them to you next."

After saying thank you, Li Yange was not polite. He first glanced at the instruments held by the members of the band, namely the pipa, guzheng, bamboo flute, erhu and other common traditional Chinese musical instruments. He thought about it and then, under the translation of Ryuichi Sakamoto, he began to direct the band to rehearse this song.

There are a little less types of musical instruments than he expected, but it should be enough to have Sony electronic synthesizers here.

This song is not long, only about three minutes in total, and Li Yange doesn't expect them to perform well, as long as it can have that effect.

So after talking to Kitaro and Ryuichi Sakamoto about the effect of electronic synthesis they needed, they simply and roughly worked it in for more than half an hour. After everyone gradually became familiar with it, their performance became more and more mature.

"Great! Mr. Li, your song "Dawn of Heroes" is so nice. It seems to take me into the Three Kingdoms era more than 1,800 years ago. Especially when using the opening method of a small trumpet, it immediately grabbed people's ears and asked you to embellish the electronic harmony I used. It is simply a magical stroke. It not only exaggerates the cruelty of war, but also expresses endless and delicate emotions. With the melodious tone of the pipa, it is sometimes serious and sometimes tender, which aggravates this tense and contradictory atmosphere."

At the end of the song, Kitaro was amazed.

I have a little more clarity in my heart about the past Ryuichi Sakamoto's appreciation for Li Yange in my ears.

You should know that Ryuichi Sakamoto said it very nicely before, Kitaro just thought it was Ryuichi Sakamoto who admired Li Yange. It was not until he heard the majestic emperor's voice of the Forbidden City that he affirmed Li Yange's talent. Now he has witnessed Li Yange's neatly and orderly recording of the music with his own eyes, and he understands why Ryuichi Sakamoto so respected it.

Li Yange said modestly: "Mr. Kitaro has been awarded. If it weren't for the help of you and Mr. Sakamoto, I don't think I could have improved this song so quickly."

"This is not an over-the-top award. Today I am an eye-opener. No wonder Long Yi admires you so much."

"Haha, Kitaro, you believe in Mr. Li's talent in music now." Ryuichi Sakamoto laughed, but suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Mr. Li, I saw that there seemed to be a few music scores in your backpack before?"

Li Yange said: "Well, that was also written for the animation of "The Three Kingdoms".

"Oh? I don't know if I can take a look?" A hint of joy flashed in Kitaro's eyes.

"Of course it's OK."

Li Yange then walked to the sofa seat beside him, took out two music scores from his backpack, and handed them to the two: "These two songs are episodes I have produced for the animation, namely "Baozhu" and "Majesty".

Both of these songs are interludes from the glorious classic game "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Series". Li Yange has liked it very much before, and this time he happened to write it together.
