Since we plan to release a new song before the setsubun, especially the song composed by Nakahara himself and handed over to UMYM-色a to sing, UMYM-色a is not a signed artist of LME, they belong to another small firm , I have to say something special, probably because their office has delegated power to them more strongly, and they have chosen their own career path and so on.

People outside don't know about this matter, and Zhongyuan Zhong also naturally doesn't know about it, so when he raised this point with his broker in the LME, he was a little uneasy.

LME's business model is also one that respects the wishes of its artists. For actors, it respects their right to choose their own scripts, while for songwriters, in addition to the customized tasks they accept-the so-called customized tasks are A certain TV series, a certain cartoon, a certain stage play needs theme songs, interludes, ending songs, and character songs with time and theme restrictions, so they basically don't rush their progress too much.

Zhongyuan Zhong also took on such a custom task before, writing the theme song and ending song for a manga adaptation animation. The reason why he took on this task is also very simple. He has been chasing that boy manga. After discovering After the animation of the comic was released, he successfully found his agent and received this related task.

That manga adaptation animation was a big success, and the theme song and ending song he wrote and composed were also very popular. The animation only aired for three episodes, and the animation company rushed to find him to continue customizing the individual songs for the animated characters. Anyway Zhong Yuan Zhong also prepared for a long time, and it was released soon, and even wrote a divine comedy for the climax of the animation.

This cooperation also let the animation company know that "Taiichi Hasegawa" can also control the lyrics and composition of animation, and at the same time, it also made that divine comedy popular in the animation and music areas of various websites for a while.

Zhongyuan Zhong also didn't know how the LME negotiated with UMYM-色a. In short, when he received the invitation from his agent to come to the LME headquarters, the president Takada Raleigh was waiting for him in the president's office.

"Nakaya-kun, you said that the song you wrote would be sung by the group UMYM-色a, can you let me see your new song before that?" Probably because in my president's office, It was rare for Takada Raleigh not to bring his own stage theater entourage. Except for still wearing outrageously gorgeous stage costumes and a batch of inexplicable decorations newly put on in the office, everything else seemed very serious.

At least Zhongyuan Zhong, who has seen a lot now, can easily face this uncle, "Yes, President Baotian, this is the lyrics and music."

After watching it carefully, Takada Raleigh hummed twice. As a former musical actor, even if he just hummed a few a cappella, it was quite perfect, "I see, it really fits the style of UMYM-色a Lovely rock, but if it’s only because the style fits in, we at LME also have a lot of children who fit the style of these songs.”

"Well... my most important person is a loyal fan of UMYM-色a. He has been chasing after UMYM-色a since a long time ago, when UMYM-色a was still doing special photography." Nakahara also felt a little embarrassed Scratching my head, "How should I put it, I have always felt that I have been taken care of by him a lot these years, but there are very few things that can repay him. These songs are the inspirations I had during this trip. I think these songs It is very suitable for UMYM-色a to sing, so I want to collaborate with them on an album and give it to him as a gift."

Baotian Luoli's face was quite serious at first, but when he heard him speak, his eyes suddenly began to burst into tears, and when he heard the emotion, the tears started to flow down like a faucet turned on.

No, what are you crying about... Nakahara Chuya changed from a little shy to speechless dead fish eyes halfway through.

Takada Raleigh took out a handkerchief with flamboyant lace and wiped his tears, then sniffed and said, "I see, Nakaya-kun, leave these things to me!"

After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call. Within 2 minutes, Takarata Raleigh gave Nakahara a thumbs up, "It's done..."

"So fast?!" Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little shocked.

"Well, after all, the director of UMYM-色a's office is actually the famous Shining Saotome." Takada Raleigh made a K comparison to him while talking.

Nakahara Chuya resolutely flashed this K who he didn't want at all sideways, ignoring the sad eyes of Takanada Raleigh, "Shining Saotome is the super idol from long ago, and now the director of Saotome Academy, right? Does he still have an office?"

"That's right, but this is the only office he is running. All the routes of UMYM-色a are at their discretion, including the earliest strange routes of special photography, food, singing and dancing, or even now. As an idol business, I still don’t forget to continue to take the route of gourmet hosting, it’s up to those girls to decide for themselves, and he’s just supporting their choice behind the scenes as a supporter.” Takada Raleigh didn’t know what he was thinking of, for Chuya was relieved to avoid K in such a disrespectful way, "By the way, Zhongye-kun, there is a TV series recently, can you help me write a theme song? The style should be more fashionable and rock type. "

"No problem, rock songs are my specialty." Nakahara nodded without hesitation, "But can you show me the script? The first episode is fine. I want to know what type it is. Rock."

"No problem..." Baotian Raleigh snapped his fingers, and the person who had been hiding somewhere before immediately came out to call the manager downstairs.

Soon, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit walked in, "President, this is the script of the TV series you want."

"Master, this is Taiichi Hasegawa, the top songwriter in our club, and this is Koichi Tsuruga Ren's manager." In front of others, Takada Raleigh is very socially responsible. Call the artist by his stage name instead of his real name, "This time, I'm asking Hasegawa-kun to write the theme song, which is a new drama that Tsuruga Ren just took over."

"Tsuga Ren, ah, I know, he's the new artist who debuted this year, right? I also watched his first TV series, and his acting skills are really good." Nakahara Nakaya was stunned for a moment before he realized that this TV series he I watched it one after another with Yukichi Big Cat, so when he was at the ski resort earlier, he was very surprised that Yosano Akiko could say that the Minowa Shogun is handsome. Not to mention, isn't this new actor Tsuruga Ren much better than that Minowa Shoubing?Thinking wildly like this, he quickly responded: "I know, I will create it as soon as possible."

"Excuse me for your trouble." She Xingyi saluted very politely, regardless of how young the other party looked.

"Ah, there's no need to be like that. I'm just a music writer, and Tsuruga-kun is not a senior or senior, so there's no need to salute me like that." Seeing such a social scene, Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't bear it.What's more, he was really right. Although the showbiz pays great attention to things like seniors and juniors, actors and musicians are not together in the first place, and the seniors really don't go together.

But even if Chuka Nakahara said the same, Sha Xingyi didn’t dare to be rude at all. Actors and musicians really can’t get together, but this also has to be graded, like "Taiichi Hasegawa" or they don’t release songs No matter how old he is, a big boss who will definitely occupy the first place on the Oricon chart for several weeks when he releases a song cannot be easily offended.

Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't bear the restrained atmosphere, so he quickly got up and said to Takada Raleigh: "Then President, I'm leaving first, I will write the theme song and send it over as soon as possible."

"I'm looking forward to your masterpiece—" Takada Raleigh waved at him.

After Zhongye returned home, he read the script carefully. The script in his hand contained the contents of the first to third episodes. Judging from this part of the content, the whole story should be a very typical urban love drama. A little bit of daily work in the city, plus the male lead is Tsuruga Ren, and the female lead is said to be a popular floret, as long as the director and screenwriter don't suddenly get overwhelmed with taking the wrong medicine afterwards, and add inexplicable reversals abruptly, this film will be perfect. Can't beat it.

If this is the case, then the tune should be based on love, with some trendy elements added, and the theme of rock and roll matching is simply perfect.

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt as if there was a new storm in his head, and he started to write non-stop when he lifted his pen.When he came back to his senses, not only the theme song was written by him, but also the chorus and the lyrical ending song.

"Forget it, let's send it to President Takarata for him to see." Nakahara Nakaya said and recorded the three songs on the computer, and sent it to Takarata Raleigh that night.

"What a talented creator!" Takada Raleigh couldn't help but exclaim when he glanced at it. The style was completely different from the cute and slightly devilish sexy songs he saw in the morning, so he couldn't help but sigh I thought this guy was really great.

He immediately arranged for the singers under the LME to sing these songs and make demos, which will be handed over to the TV crew, and they will definitely hire them.

But since Zhongye-kun fulfilled his request so neatly, he has to reciprocate, and Zhongye-kun is saying that these songs are gifts for important people, right?Then it shouldn't be delayed until the next year!

Takada Raleigh took out his mobile phone again, tapped the content on it, and discussed with Shining Saotome about releasing an album.

After solving a problem in his mind, Zhong put all these things behind him until half a month later, two days before Christmas, he suddenly received a call from Takarata Raleigh.

"What? Just release a new album for Christmas? No, isn't this too rushed?" Surprised by this unexpected news, he almost stopped, and kicked hard in front of the prisoner they were arresting. On the ground, the scene where he almost kicked his whole foot down scared the prisoner so much that his back was sweating. Do you want to be so cruel?Are you still detectives?If this foot is stepped on, my head will bloom!

"Mr. Chuya, you have already said that this is a gift for your important people, right? Of course, such a gift is more meaningful when the more important festivals are given, isn't it? Wait until the next year, the most important Christmas and It's too bad that the new year is over." Takada Raleigh said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Chuya-kun, do you have any strange voices?"

"Ah, it's not a big deal, it's been resolved." Zhongyuan Zhong also gave the man who fell on the ground a fierce look, and the man didn't dare to move immediately.

"I understand, I understand, after all, it's Yokohama." Takada Raleigh said in a tone that I understand, and Jochu couldn't help sighing.

"So what's the problem with Yokohama?" He was a little annoyed, "Now Yokohama is much better than before, okay! Isn't Tokyo also having a high crime rate?"

"This is really..." Baotian Luoli showed a toothache expression, "Let's not talk about this, anyway, when you have time to come to the club, I have someone specially leave you a signed deluxe album oh."

"Thank you, I'll be here today!" Chuya Nakahara put away his phone, and then he looked anxiously at Doppo Kunikida who was running over, "Kunikida, I'll leave this person to you, I still have something to do Go to Tokyo."

"Huh? Now?" Kunikida Doppo was a little surprised, "Could it be that something happened at school?" Because of the recent winter vacation, he was free to do the task of the Armed Detective Agency.

"No, I met a pretty good thing, and those guys are really a group of good people." Chuya had a happy smile on his face, turned around and strode towards the Shinkansen station, "Anyway, tell Mr. Yukichi that I probably won't be able to go back for dinner tonight. Also, I'll write the report when I get back. Kunikida, just write yours."

"Oh, Nakaya-kun, go early and come back early!" Kunikida Doppo said loudly.

After finishing speaking, he escorted someone to the nearby police station. This person was a fugitive murderer who had been wanted by the police for a long time. The other person sneaked into Yokohama, and was sent to the Yokohama Police Station as a consultant before he had time to move. Ranpo Edogawa pointed it out, so the two of them had just resolved a commission from the society, so they followed Edogawa Ranpo's instructions and came to the neighborhood and arrested the person, even though they said they were right Maybe it's not right, after all, the man's ability to escape is quite good, but unfortunately he underestimated the force value of the Armed Detective Agency, even if he didn't use any special power breathing method, Zhong Yuanzhong still caught him in minutes .Kunikida Doppo just went to appease the frightened ordinary people nearby. After all, everyone is from Yokohama. After he calmed down a little, everyone went to their own ways.

After Kunikida Doppo came out of the police station after completing the transcript, he went back to the Armed Detective Agency. Everyone was a little surprised to see him come back alone.Oda Sakunosuke was the first to ask, "Where's Chuya?"

"He ran away in a hurry after answering the phone call, saying that he was going to Tokyo, maybe it was a school thing?" Kunikida Doppo said not quite understanding.

"Eh? It can't be something about the school." Osamu Dazai lazily raised his head and said something, then he turned his head and looked at Edogawa Ranpo, "I see, it has already been done. ah."

"They're all good people." Edogawa Ranpo also nodded knowingly, "But this will put Chuya in the lead! Don't just sit around, think about gifts for me!"

"Gift?" The few people who didn't know why the topic turned to the gift were taken aback, and Yosano Akiko looked sideways at the calendar, "Are you talking about Christmas gifts? I'm ready."

With more and more people, Fukuzawa Yukichi felt that every Christmas, it would take too much time for Yukichi Maomao to prepare Christmas gifts for them one by one, so he simply started doing American-style Christmas two years ago, that is, The so-called exchanging gifts, everyone prepares a gift. When it’s time for dinner, everyone listens to the song and hands the gift to the next person according to the beat. When the music is over, whoever gets the gift will be It's all random. Every year when the song is selected, it is randomly selected by the big cat Yuji. There are only three gift exchanges in total. There is a Chinese classic song, a brand new Japanese song, and another time except Fukuzawa Yu Enka that no one has ever heard except Ji.

This results in an annual gift exchange filled with unknowns and fun.

"I'm ready too." Kunikida Doppo nodded, "I remember that Chuya-kun should be ready too."

"Chuya is indeed ready, I saw the gift he prepared before." Oda Sakunosuke said.

"This one is different, damn it, the little slug actually took it one step ahead!" Dazai Osamu said rather unhappy, "Obviously it should be me first!"

"What strange things are you talking about?" Kunikida Doppo couldn't stand it and sat down and opened the laptop in his hand. He was still very relieved that Nakahara Chuya said that he would come back to write a report. After all, Nakahara Chuya didn't seem like Dazai Osamu is still a very reliable senior detective agency, he said that he will come back to write a report, and he will definitely come back to write it, instead of pushing his own report to himself who knows nothing about the case like someone by his side .

"Kunikida, you don't understand." Dazai Osamu looked depressed, and he slammed the table, "No, this time I must prepare a surprise gift!"

After hearing his words, Kunikida Doppo couldn't help but look at him with a complicated expression, only Oda Sakunosuke applauded him seriously, and said, "Come on, Dazai, I believe in you."

"What gift?" Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who pushed the door in, looked at Osamu Dazai who was agitated, "Is Dazai-kun talking about Christmas gifts?"

"Yes!" Osamu Dazai had a serious face, and his back was burning like a special effect of fire, "I must prepare an unexpected gift this time!"

"Dazai, don't overdo it." Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "And time is running out, don't make any fools out of it."

"Absolutely not!" Osamu Dazai waved his hand decisively, and then rushed out.

"Hey, wait for me, your report hasn't been written yet!" Yosano Akiko was about to say something, when she turned her head and saw the empty screen on Dazai Osamu's computer screen, and couldn't help gnashing her teeth and roaring.

"Well, Ms. Xie Ye, do you want me to help?" Atsushi Nakajima who came in from behind saw this and hurried over and asked.

"I can help too." Akutagawa Ginya said quickly.

"Tsk, maybe you really need your help." Akiko Yosano patted the table twice with her hands in displeasure, "Oda, you are not allowed to help when I hit someone later!"

"Hmm..." While nodding, Sakunosuke Oda did not forget to pull his chair towards the other side of Yosano Akiko.

When Yuji Maomao walked in, he saw that everyone was busy in the whole office. The big cat put the afternoon tea in his hand on the table and signaled them to take it casually, so he looked around curiously After a while, why are Dazai and Chuya not here?

"They have prepared a special Christmas gift for you, Mr. Yukichi." Ranpo Edogawa picked up a Margarita biscuit and put it in his mouth. The crispy taste made him squint his eyes happily, " Mr. Yuji's craftsmanship is still so good!"

Big Mao Yuji didn't wait for him to finish, poured him a cup of warm scented tea and handed it to him, then waved to him again.

"Thank you, Mr. Yukichi." Edogawa Ranpo took the scented tea and drank it down, and then said, "I know, but the few dollars I got were definitely made by you, Mr. Yukichi!"

Big Cat Yuji nodded and gave him a thumbs up.

"What do you mean?" Yosano Akiko took a bite out of a margarita biscuit in a strange way. It tastes pretty good. Although it is a biscuit made in a very simple way, as long as it is not a dark cooking emperor like Dazai Osamu, a normal person They can make biscuits with the same taste, but because the method is simple, it is even more difficult to achieve a good taste, but the margarita biscuits made by Yuji Big Cat taste better than the Margarita biscuits bought outside. Greta biscuits are good.

Tasted with Yosano Akiko for a while, and finally realized that the taste was slightly different from the usual one. She put down her hand that was going to continue to take the biscuits, and looked at the two sitting beside her in surprise, "These Mages Lite biscuits are made by you?"

"Yes, Mr. Yukichi instructed us to do it." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded seriously.

"The biscuits made by my brother are the most similar to those made by Mr. Yukichi. The ones made by Atsushi and I are not as satisfactory." Akutagawa Gin said shyly.

"Amazing." Kunikida Doppo nodded in praise.

"It's really amazing." Oda Sakunosuke, who lost his memory for three days after eating the dark food cooked by Osamu Dazai, nodded.

"Brother already met, Mr. Yukichi came here specially to teach us." Akutagawa Yin became more and more embarrassed.

On the other side, Edogawa Ranpo guessed something, and couldn't help but became more and more worried, "That guy Dazai really can't make a moth?"
