Chapter 376 Collaboration Single
After talking on the phone with Masaharu Fukuyama, Kiyoshi Sakamoto came downstairs, first took a few cans of beer from the refrigerator, put them in a bag, and then went out with the bag.

. . .

Ten minutes later, a suspicious person rang the doorbell in front of Fukuyama's house in Minato.

Ring Ring Ring!
The doorbell rang, and Masaharu Fukuyama also walked out of his study slowly.

Seeing on the doorbell screen, a man wearing a peaked cap and mask standing at the door carrying a bag, Masaharu Fukuyama felt very puzzled.

He asked into the microphone of the doorbell and the man outside.

"who are you looking for?"

"Hello, the takeaway you ordered has arrived, please come out and get it." The man said while holding up the plastic bag in his hand.

The man's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was not young.

"I didn't order takeaway?!" Just as Masaharu Fukuyama was hesitating whether to open the door, the "delivery boy" standing outside seemed a little impatient. He didn't wait for Masaharu Fukuyama to reply, and directly He just lifted his mask and said to the doorbell camera with a smile on his face.

"Hee hee hee, it's your beer delivery!"

Seeing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's face, Fukuyama Masaharu realized that he was tricked by this kid. . .

pat!

The door was opened.

"Teacher, your..."

However, before Sakamoto Kiyoshi could speak, Fukuyama Masaharu took the bag from him, and closed the door again with a "snap".

Only the "delivery brother" who was messing in the wind was left. . .

"Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy..." Finally, Kiyoshi Sakamoto lowered his head solemnly and muttered.

The two, who didn't look like a teacher and a student at all, gave each other a punch at the door before entering the room.

. . .

As soon as his butt settled down on the sofa, Kiyoshi Sakamoto hurriedly took the glass of milk handed over by Fukuyama Masaharu, and thanked him, "Arigado."

Fukuyama Masaharu took out a can of beer from the bag, opened it with a "hiss", and took a big gulp into his mouth.

"Tell me, you said on the phone, what is the good thing?" Fukuyama Masaharu, leaning on the sofa with the appearance of a big boss, asked about the purpose of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's visit.

"Ahem, it's like this..." Hearing Masaharu Fukuyama's question first, Kiyoshi Sakamoto corrected his sitting posture before speaking.

"Your close disciple, the most handsome talented singer-songwriter besides you in the music world, that's me, ahem... ready to release a second solo album!" After speaking, Kiyoshi Sakamoto pretended to clap his hands .

However, what he got was Fukuyama Masaharu's indifferent reaction.

"Hehe, that's right, that, no, I want to collaborate with you on a song. I don't know if you are old, do you have time?" Seeing Masaharu Fukuyama's expression of "I'm waiting", Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately smiled awkwardly road.

"Oh, a collaboration single?"

"That's right, speaking of it, our two masters and apprentices have never collaborated in music, what a pity..."

"How can we two talented handsome guys not cooperate?" Sakamoto Kiyosai looked at Fukuyama expectantly and asked after frantically praising himself and Fukuyama.

"So I thought, how about we co-create a song, you compose and I write the lyrics, or I compose the lyrics and you write the lyrics, how about singing together at the end?"

Speaking of which, Masaharu Fukuyama's contribution to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's current status and achievements in the music world is not insignificant.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also thought that with the help of this cooperation, he would let his teacher see his growth over the past few years.

Facing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's proposal, Fukuyama Masaharu was also a little moved.

"Hmm... really pale..." Fukuyama Masaharu used his "Yukawa studies" stalk in "Detective Galileo", pretended to push his glasses, and said pretentiously, "Your opinion is good. Woolen cloth."

"Has the album's positioning been settled?"

Fukuyama Masaharu did not immediately agree, but asked about Sakamoto Kiyoshi's album.

"Oh, it's settled, because the release date is set at the end of March. You know, at that time, it's either the graduation season or the beginning of school season, and there are cherry blossoms, so it's decided to be "spring"..."

"Hmm, "Spring"..." Masaharu Fukuyama thought for a moment, as if sighing, before continuing to ask, "Where's the title song?"

"It's also settled, I even brought the sheet music here today..."

Saying that, Sakamoto Kiyoshi took out a piece of paper that looked a little new from his pocket.

Open the folded paper, only to find that the paper is full of notes and lyrics.

Taking the paper from Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Fukuyama Masaharu touched the paper first, and then teased, "You wrote this song not long ago, right?"

"Hee hee, I just wrote it at home..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto also smiled awkwardly, admitting that the song was freshly released.

Holding the complete song and lyrics, I read it carefully on the side
And Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also very confident in the quality of "さくらのうた".

In his opinion, this song is not inferior to Fukuyama Masaharu's "Sakurazaka", and it can be said to be a very high-quality song among many cherry blossom songs.

The only reason for this song is that the singer Yu Takahashi is not very famous, nor is he a handsome singer, so it didn't become popular.

However, if it was Sakamoto Kiyoshi who sang it, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

After all, the quality of the song is there, coupled with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's national popularity, popularity in the limelight, and Sony's vigorous promotion, it is unreasonable not to be popular!

Sure enough, after carefully reading the music and lyrics several times, Masaharu Fukuyama also nodded in approval.

"The song is very touching, especially the lyrics, it feels like growing up..."

"By the way, just wait for me."

In the middle of the review, Masaharu Fukuyama got up from the sofa and walked to the room as if he remembered something.

Only Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was confused, was left sitting there.

Soon, Masaharu Fukuyama came out of the room with an extra acoustic guitar in his hand.

Passing the guitar directly to Sakamoto Kiyoshi who was dumbfounded, Masaharu Fukuyama raised his legs, like a mentor with a good voice, spread his hands and said.

"Please start your show!"

Faced with such a sudden request, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not give in. First he coughed twice, and after opening his throat, he immediately pressed his fingers on the guitar strings and swept them. . .

Along with the clear guitar sound, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's voice is like the sun in spring.

"Smiling at the little things"

"Back then every day was shining"

"I also said with a smile, one day I will become an adult too."

. . .

A disagreement turned into a good voice scene. I saw Fukuyama Masaharu closing his eyes and listening carefully, while tapping the rhythm with his fingers on the sofa.

There is only a simple guitar as an accompaniment.

However, the simple accompaniment did not dissipate the artistic conception contained in this song, but with a purer accompaniment, the charm of the song itself was infinitely maximized by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's voice.

Especially in the chorus part.

"Like a tree full of cherry blossoms"

"Flying like bright petals"

"We swear, it will bloom like this"

"Fulfill your dreams and become strong"

"Reunion under the same tree"

"Remember this agreement?"

"I still remember my dream"

The continuous emotional outbursts, and the rising tone with almost no interludes, fully reveal the inspirational feeling of the whole song.

Under the interpretation of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Fukuyama Masaharu is undoubtedly the person who can feel all this the most.

In his opinion, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's ability to express songs has improved significantly compared to when he first debuted.

Also, when he first debuted, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was only 14 years old, and he sang such a sad "Hitomi をとじて". Even though Sakamoto Kiyoshi's singing skills are very good, he tried his best to integrate his feelings into the song.

However, it's still a bit awkward.

If it wasn't for the tie-up, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the theme song of "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World", a masterpiece of pure love, would not have become an instant hit.

Therefore, even rebirth depends on luck. . .

If he had chosen other songs as his debut song when he first debuted, Kiyoshi Sakamoto might not have the value to impress Sony. . .

Compared to "Hitomi をとじて", the song "さくらのうた" may be more suitable for Sakamoto Kiyoshi to sing.

. . .

After the song was over, Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately changed from an affectionate singer to a normal mode, and asked his teacher expectantly, "How is it?"

"Well, not bad. It's much better than before." Fukuyama Masaharu nodded in approval and praised.

"Hee hee, since you've heard my title song too, what about the collaboration single?"

"Yes yes yes..."

"Uh...but?" Hearing the hesitation in Masaharu Fukuyama's tone, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the next sentence.

"However, there is a problem." Sure enough, Masaharu Fukuyama's next sentence started with "but". . .

"Question? What's the problem?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little confused, but he immediately thought of a possibility.

"Could it be Universal?"

As soon as he thought of this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto rejected this possibility in his heart.

To put it bluntly, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaharu Fukuyama are two wonderful masters and apprentices. It is very interesting that the record contract is not with the same record company.

This is also an interesting anecdote in the entertainment industry.

However, it is nothing new for singers under the two record companies to cooperate.

Therefore, even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that Kenji Kitano, the president of Universal Music, was probably targeting him.

However, in his opinion, it's not a big deal for him to cooperate with his teacher. No matter how much he targets himself, there's no need to make a move on such a trivial matter. . .

He thought so.

Moreover, this collaboration single was a proposal he had just thought of, no matter how powerful Kenji Kitano was, it was impossible to know it so soon, so this possibility is also untenable.

Sure enough, the problem Masaharu Fukuyama mentioned was not that.

"That's right, I'm going to start filming a movie recently, and the time is a bit..."

"Eh?!"

"New movie?!"
