Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 6 is about to debut?

In the music studio of Fukuyama Masaharu, Meguro-ku, Tokyo.

Looking at Uncle Fukuyama who was seriously reading the score, Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt very guilty. After all, he copied someone else's song. .

The song "Close Your Eyes Lightly" is a single released by Ken Hirai in May 2004. It is also the theme song of the movie "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World", and it was the single sales champion in 5.

Hirai Ken also won the 2005 RB Gold Disc Award for this song.One can imagine the popularity of this song.

"Hmm...very good, I didn't expect you to learn so much in two years and create such a good song!!" Fukuyama raised his head and looked at his disciple with complicated eyes.

When I was accepting this disciple, I never thought about how talented he is.However, during the teaching process, Fukuyama discovered that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was simply a genius. .

On the musical instrument, one can teach it, and it can also infer other things from one blow.In terms of music style and music theory, I have my own unique insights (after all, I am a person who is more than ten years ahead of the current music industry...) After studying for a year, I can start to write lyrics and compose myself.This talent, Fukuyama Masaharu felt, was unprecedented. .

It may be because of the rebirth. Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that his memory was stronger than one or two points since he was a child, so he was able to complete all the courses in middle and high school by himself in his teens.In this regard, when learning music, the progress is fast, and part of the credit is also due to the strong memory.

In the second year of studying under Fukuyama Masaharu, Fukuyama deliberately assigned some composition and lyrics homework to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, wanting to see how far this disciple can do.

As a result, Kiyoshi Sakamoto gave him a big surprise today.Come up with a song that can be said to be on par with his single "Sakurazaka" released in 2000.As a creative singer, Masaharu Fukuyama's eyesight is enough to see that this is a song that will become a hit once it is released.

Therefore, while Fukuyama Masaharu is proud of the talents of his disciples, he is also gratified that he has such disciples.

"I think you should debut!!" Fukuyama Masaharu put away his smile and said to Sakamoto Kiyoshi in a serious manner.

"Hey?? Debut?? I'm a teacher??" Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who didn't expect his teacher to say that.

After studying here for almost two years at Masaharu Fukuyama, Kiyoshi Sakamoto never thought that he would be able to become a teacher so soon. After all, in his opinion, he still has a lot to learn.Whether it is music or the way of dealing with people in the entertainment industry, as a layman, there is still a lot to learn.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch, uncle, why did you hit me?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi felt baffled as he touched his head.

"Being taller than you, I'm telling you to make your debut. Debut doesn't mean you've become a teacher. Do you understand? Or do you want to become a teacher from me? You've thought about it for a long time, huh?" Fukuyama Masaharu touched his hand and said.

This kid has a tough head.

"Oh, that's it. It's nothing, I never thought about becoming a teacher, I'm wronged, my lord!!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the opportunity to act cute, trying to get away with it.

"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare. Well, come on, let me record a demo for you to see how you sing..." Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto pretending to be crazy, Masaharu Fukuyama forgave him a lot .

"Alright, alright, teacher SAMA."

On June 2002, 6, in Masaharu Fukuyama's music studio in Meguro-ku, Tokyo.

This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's first time here.

This is the place where Fukuyama Masaharu makes music. There are meeting rooms and lounges outside. Walking inside is a small recording studio.

When he walked into the recording studio, through the mirror, Sakamoto Kiyoshi saw his teacher who was recording in the recording studio, so he waved to Uncle Fukuyama inside and said hello.

The fool. . .

The sound engineer outside the studio laughed. .Even Masaharu Fukuyama smiled when he saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto waving inside. .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was still wondering what they were laughing at, realized that he had made a fool of himself when he saw the sound engineer communicating with Fukuyama inside through the intercom microphone. .

The inside of the recording studio is soundproof, and the only way to communicate with the people inside is through the intercom microphone on the table outside. If the microphone is not turned on, the outside voice cannot be heard inside. .

So when Kiyoshi Sakamoto greeted Masaharu Fukuyama inside just now, Fukuyama didn't hear him at all, he just happened to see him waving. .

In this way, the sound engineer's first impression of Sakamoto Kiyoshi was only the word cute (fool).

Sakamoto Kiyoshi waited outside for about ten minutes, Fukuyama Masaharu finished the recording and came out from inside.

"Yo, here you come?!"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's Qing character, the Roman pronunciation is KIYO, so when Fukuyama called him jokingly, he would call him YO.

"Yes, teacher, I came to ask you to learn music. Please give me more advice in the future." Because the sound engineer and manager were present, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not call Fukuyama "uncle" to avoid being considered as an impolite person People, after all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is now a disciple of Fukuyama.

"Well, okay. How about this, you go in and sing a song first, let me listen to it."

Faced with this sudden "examination" by Masaharu Fukuyama, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was pushed into the recording studio before he could react.

After teaching Kiyoshi Sakamoto how to operate, Fukuyama went out and put on headphones, ready to listen to Sakamoto singing.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.In fact, Sakamoto also wants to know in the eyes of professionals, whether his singing level can be dominated by KTV, or whether he can become a professional singer.

After putting on headphones and calming down, Kiyoshi Sakamoto began to sing.Sakamoto's selection is his teacher's famous song "Sakura".

always make you happy
In the wind I sing softly
love hasn't changed yet
sunlight through treetops
The small slope full of cherry blossoms exudes fragrance
pale red like sorrow
it's you that i fall in love with

only you but not with you

I know it's love

Obviously spring has come
but a dream is still a dream
Soon, the song "Sakurazaka" was sung.

Fukuyama Masaharu and the sound engineer's eyes lit up when they heard the first line of Sakamoto's cappella.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto’s voice, compared to Masaharu Fukuyama’s voice, is more energetic and fresher. It has a warm and beautiful tone like sunshine, as if someone is holding a guitar and telling a story to his ear, maybe in the treble There is still room for improvement in the sound transfer, but such a voice is very recognizable, and it is easy to recognize who it is.

It can be said that as long as you correct the small flaws through professional training, basically, you are already at the level of a professional singer! !

Masaharu Fukuyama didn't know what to say. Kiyoshi Sakamoto's voice is perfect, and now he can make his debut as a singer.Unexpectedly, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is a natural singer's voice.

So, after singing, Kiyoshi Sakamoto came out and saw Fukuyama's constipated expression, and wondered if he sang too badly. .

As a result, Masaharu Fukuyama's first words startled him, "Perfect, this version of "Sakurazaka" has a special flavor."

"Is that good?? You don't need to comfort me, just tell the truth, teacher." Sakamoto Kiyoshi still couldn't believe that he could sing so well, and even began to wonder if Fukuyama was comforting him.

"Fart, why am I lying to you, your singing voice has reached the standard for debut, you just need to polish it a little more." After discussing with the sound engineer next to him, Fukuyama came to this conclusion.

Am I really a genius at singing?someone thought narcissistically.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch, it hurts, sir (teacher), why did you hit me?" The narcissistic Sakamoto was woken up by Fukuyama's slap.

"Don't think that you are a genius. If you can sing well, it doesn't mean you can become a great singer. Having a singing voice is not enough, you need to have other things." Masaharu Fukuyama said while touching his palm and frowning.

The head is so hard! !

"Huh? Then there is something else, please tell me, sir!!" After finishing speaking, Kiyoshi Sakamoto bowed to Masaharu Fukuyama and asked.

"There is also talent, creative talent, and only talent can make you gain a firm foothold in this highly competitive music circle. Only by being able to create good songs can you go further in the future. Just like me!" Fukuyama was secretly boasting about himself.

When he heard this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's mind immediately flashed a thought: I know which song will be popular in the future!Which song is a good song!Which song will be a hit!
Developed! !

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately said, "Sir, please teach me how to create, I want to create many, many good songs!"

"Well, then... well. Then you will learn under my hands in the future, and learn how to compose lyrics and music."

"Hi (yes)! Sir! I will definitely study hard and improve every day!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto saluted jokingly after answering.

Looking at such a handsome and funny, funny and cute disciple, Masaharu Fukuyama felt much better.

"Mingjun, you have sent me a good disciple. I don't know his limit, but I am looking forward to it. What kind of situation will he reach?"

In this way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto started his journey of music learning.
