I teach kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma also wanted to hear Saori Kitagawa sing, so he clapped his hands and said, "That's great. Here's another song. I want to hear "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun."

Kitagawa Saori glared at Kazuma: "Why should I sing it to you? And I don't like that song at all. If the movie hadn't been a hit, the song wouldn't have become popular at all."

Hinami Rina: "That sounds like a statement of jealousy."

"That's right, that's right, in Kazuma's words, Cha Lemon speaks." Mikako said.

Kazuma changed the Internet buzzword "Cha Lemon" from his previous life into Japanese, and also adopted a weird Kansai accent.

Saori Kitagawa didn't understand the meaning of this Kansai-accented word at first, but logically concluded that it must be talking about her jealousy, so she gave Mikako a blank look.

"I don't. I know a person who is super powerful and can write songs a hundred times better than that." Kitagawa Saori said.

Kazuma: "Me?"

Kitagawa Saori turned her eyes to Kazuma. Kazuma originally thought she was going to glare, but she didn't.

It seems that this girl has admitted that the music written by Kazuma is very good.

After all, He Ma copied famous songs from forty years later. They are good to listen to and have made some progress in composition techniques.

In fact, the biggest difference between these songs forty years later and the songs of the Showa era is the arrangement, especially the orchestration. The influence of technological development is very intuitive.

Arrangers in 2020 can have a complete set of paid sound source libraries without spending a lot of money. Most instruments can be arranged with software, and various parameters can be adjusted freely.

The most important thing is that you can modify it in real time according to the effect while writing, and then confirm the modified effect in real time.

Therefore, the music and arrangements of the 2020s are generally very "gorgeous". Even those who deliberately pursue "minimalist beauty" actually have hidden secrets. They look simple but are not simple in reality.

But composers couldn't do this in 1981. It was normal to have a guitar and make changes while playing. The richer ones were equipped with an electronic keyboard, unlike their counterparts 40 years later who had a workstation and could mobilize an entire " Orchestra” to help him compose music.

If Kazuma can present these more advanced and gorgeous arrangements 40 years later, it will surely make waves in the music world.

But now Kazuma only has one harmonica, so he can't copy the arrangement.

Despite this, these later famous songs are excellent enough in themselves and have the ability to shock people.

Kitagawa Saori obviously has to admit this.

She lowered her head and started to strum the strings again. Kazuma recognized that they were the strings she had just played to accompany "I Became Someone Else's Girlfriend."

Kazuma suddenly followed the chord and released a big killing weapon.

He began to sing "Once upon a time I also thought that it would be over once and for all (Servant's Death のうと思ったのは)".

This is Mika Nakajima's famous song in 2013. At that time, she was almost deaf due to illness. As a veteran singer, this had a huge impact on her, so when she sang this song, she sang with emotion and became a sensation.

It is said that this song reduced the suicide rate in Japan that year.

Kazuma may have not experienced enough things in his life and suffered not enough blows. Of course, it may also be that as his successor, he has truly inherited the spirit of the martyrs. In short, Kazuma never had any thoughts of committing suicide in his previous life.

So he only thought the song was pleasant, but he didn't feel that much about it.

But in this life, less than a month after he time traveled, he went to the meeting alone - at that time, he had actually decided to give up his life. "If you go and never come back, you will never come back." So he put this emotional experience into this song On song.

There’s nothing wrong with that, after all, this song depicts the hope and courage in people’s hearts facing desperate situations.

After listening to it for more than ten seconds, Kitagawa Saori changed the way he played the chords.

When it comes to chords, sometimes many songs can use similar chords, but there is a big difference between "I Became Someone's Girlfriend" and "Once I Thought I Was Over It", so using the same chords is a bit weird to be honest.

Saori Kitagawa adjusted the chords according to the somewhat lame melody Kazuma sang.

When she entered the chorus, she dropped the line for a while. After all, she had never heard the melody of the chorus and it was difficult to match the chords.

After Kazuma sang the chorus a cappella, Kitagawa strummed the strings again.

Nanjo Honami and Fujii Mikako stood not far from Kitagawa Saori, listening to the song quietly, cherry blossom petals constantly falling on their hair.

Mikako suddenly said: "This is the second song."

Honami smiled: "There's no way, we don't have that kind of singing voice."

"Nanjo, aren't you very good at the piano?"

"It's just that she is very good among amateurs. Miss Kitagawa is a professional. Besides, I don't plan to continue to follow Kazuma's footsteps in the field of music. My battlefield is elsewhere." Honami said softly.

Mikako was speechless.

Then she changed the topic: "He Ma, the song is about how he felt that day, that he went alone..."

"Probably. At that time, we were not with him yet..."

"I'm here!" Mikako interrupted Honami, but immediately fainted again, "I mean, I could have been here."

Jinguji Tamamo didn't know when she entered the dojo. Now she was standing not far behind Kitagawa Saori, leaning against the doorpost of the door leading to the courtyard from the dojo, looking at Kazuma who was concentrating on singing - and The reason why Ma is so attentive is to prevent the song from being too out of tune.

However, Kazuma only has karaoke-level singing ability, and Kazuma has been singing in karaoke all his life, such as "Camel Bell", "My Good Brother", "Brother Sleeping on My Top Bunk" and the like.

The characteristic of this kind of song is that it doesn't matter if it's not sung well, it will make people feel guilty if it's rough enough.

When Kazuma was about to sing the second verse, Saori Kitagawa couldn't stand it anymore and started to harmonize Kazuma - she should have memorized the main melody of the song.

Finally, Kazuma sang the whole song, and then kept his eyes on Kitagawa Saori.

Kitagawa Saori ignored Kazuma's gaze, sat there and fiddled with the guitar, adjusting something unknown, and then she played a completely different chord than before.

Then the first line was sung.

Kazuma couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and his whole expression became very "Dragon King".

——This doesn’t trap you? Please tell me all the secrets you know later!

But Saori Kitagawa stopped after singing one sentence, raised her head and glared at Kazuma with a frown: "What's the next sentence?"

"You don't remember?" Kazuma asked back.

"Who can remember those docile words? I'm the lead singer of a rock band! Our lyrics are very straightforward. What's the next line?"

Kazuma "recited" the next sentence, of course, in the eyes of others, it was his creation.

Honami spoke first: "This word... is really beyond my expectation. When you decided to take the exam to Tokyo University a year ago, you were still weak in the national civilization, so you can write this kind of word." ah."

Amao interrupted: "This morning, I saw Master looking at the cherry blossom trees at the entrance of the dojo. He must have been preparing a shocking haiku at that time. Now that I think about it, I came out and recited a haiku by Matsuo Basho, which disturbed Master. .”

Kazuma muttered in his mind, no, you didn't, you misunderstood, don't continue.

Fast forwarding to the point where I was asked to compose a haiku on the spot, which would be unbearable.

The best I can do is write a haiku like "The beer is so cold and I'm sitting next to the big clock, it's so embarrassing"!

At this time, Jinguji spoke with great interest: "Haiku, I really want to listen to Kazuma's works."

Kazuma helplessly looked at which pot of eggs was not being opened, and gave up: "Sorry, I tried it and found that I don't have the talent to write haiku. After all, this kind of ancient style thing has too many restrictions. I’m still used to it…”

"Hey, where's the third sentence?" Kitagawa Saori interrupted Kazuma and asked.

Just now, she had been chanting the second verse that Hema taught her in a low voice, repeatedly finding the tune.

Kazuma simply sang the entire lyrics of the first verse this time.

Kitagawa Saori didn't say anything, he just found a low key for the chord and then started singing.

Kazuma could feel that she was also pouring her emotions into the song, and she probably once thought about getting it over with.

After singing the first verse, Saori Kitagawa suddenly said: "Lying in the flower field and turning into dust with the corpses of insects, it feels a bit like a horror movie."

After speaking, she tried several chords and chose one to cut into the chorus.

Kazuma frowned. He recalled his "a cappella singing" when Kitagawa temporarily stopped playing because he didn't know the melody of the chorus. Compared to this, his a cappella singing was simply rubbish...

Saori Kitagawa only sang the first two lines of the chorus and then stopped. Kazuma thought she had forgotten the lyrics again, and when he was about to speak, the girl said: "I haven't forgotten the lyrics, I was just thinking about what chords to match."

Kazuma shut up.

Saori Kitagawa continued: "Why do you have this ability to compose music and write lyrics? It would be great if I had this ability.

"I have obviously studied very hard, including music theory knowledge, composition routines, and various analyzes of famous music. I have obviously worked hard to do it...

"Why are the songs I write so mediocre?"

Kazuma didn't know how to answer for a while.

You can’t say, “I’m mediocre too and I copied everything.”

At this time, everyone may subconsciously not want to disturb Kitagawa Saori's creation, so they all remained silent. The setting sun cast the last red light on the courtyard.

Beichuan Shaxuli suddenly raised his head, glanced at everyone and said, "Don't worry about me, you continue to prepare to enjoy the flowers."

Chiyoko: "This is actually already prepared. After all, it is just for flower viewing. There is nothing to prepare. The snacks and other things to eat have been prepared by the Nanjo family and the Jinguji family. The rest..."

At this time, Ganzhong Meiyu suddenly patted her head: "You guys told me earlier, I still have two buckets of yogurt made from mare milk that I haven't finished yet. Just bring it over."

Kazuma looked at Ganzhong Miyu and thought, "Hey, your yogurt is calculated by the bucket?"

Saori Kitagawa glanced at Miu Amanaka, and then asked Kazuma: "I just wanted to ask in the car, what happened to that elementary school student?"

Miu Amanaka took out her student ID card with skillful movements: "I'm a college student! Look, the student ID card of Tokyo University! I'm a junior in college!"

Kitagawa Saori said "Oh", obviously not caring about it. At most, he just complained about Kazuma's "fraternity" in his heart.

She took a deep breath and started singing the first verse of "Once I Wanted to Get It Over" from the beginning.

This time her performance was better than last time, and the appeal of the whole song was close to the Mika Nakajima version that Kazuma remembered.

After singing the first verse, Kitagawa Saori looked at Kazuma.

He Ma spread his hands, deliberately pretending not to guess what she meant.

"The second paragraph." Kitagawa Saori said helplessly.

Kazuma pushed further: "Are you asking for help from others?"

"Please tell me the lyrics to the second verse, Mr. Kiryu."

Kazuma originally thought that Kitagawa Saori would be extremely reluctant, but he didn't expect that she would ask him politely.

It seems that Kitagawa Saori really likes this song and wants to learn it completely.

Kazuma began to teach Kitagawa Saori the lyrics of the second verse line by line.

After teaching, Beichuan Shaxuri whispered: "Thank you."

"What? I can't hear." Kazuma put his hands on his hips, "In my dojo, Shihan says he can't hear, but he just can't hear!"

"Go to hell!" Shaxuri Kitagawa cursed, and then started playing the piano.

Kazuma originally wanted to tease her a few words, but as soon as she opened her voice, Kazuma had no choice but to shut up.

The Tianlai entries are really great.

Mikako whispered to Honami: "This song turns out to be so good. When I sang it with Ma just now, I just thought it sounded good..."

Nanjo Honami put her finger up to her lips and made a "shush" gesture.

In the huge courtyard, everyone in the Kiryu Dojo was listening intently to Kitagawa Saori's singing.

At this time, there was a noise outside the courtyard gate, and everyone from the Kendo Club of Tokyo University arrived cheering.

Senior Huacheng directly led everyone around the house and into the yard. As soon as they entered, someone in the team shouted: "Wow! This cherry blossom tree!"

Kazuma turned directly to look at the senior students who came over, and made the same "shush" gesture as Nanjo Honami just did.

Kitagawa Saori was not affected at all and continued to play and sing.

After all, she often plays and sings on the streets with busy traffic, so she has long ignored this level of hustle and bustle.

Just when the chorus came here, Kitagawa Saori suddenly raised his voice and sang as if he was about to scream.

Full emotions burst out with the singing, telling this girl's praise of hope and courage.

Everyone in the Dongda Kendo Club was still confused and didn't understand what was going on. This time, they were immediately calmed down by Kitagawa Saori's singing. They fell completely silent, and all their eyes were focused on the singer.

After the song ended, the whole courtyard was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was left.

It seems that the melody just now is still lingering in the yard and has not dispersed. This is the so-called lingering sound.

Kazuma was the first to applaud, and then everyone applauded as if they were just waking up from their dreams, and a man from the kendo club whistled.

Kitagawa Saori looked straight at Kazuma and ignored the applause.

"You have to be careful," she said suddenly. "One day, you will regret giving this song to me here. I promise."
