Tokyo life starting with painting

The next day.

Although he told Higashinoji not to be anxious, but thinking that the other party said that he would go there to pick up the songs today, Hosokawa Koharu hesitated for a moment, but still came over obediently.

However, asking Higashinoji to write a good song in just one night is a bit too fantastical. To put it bluntly, it is simply impossible.

In consideration of respecting and protecting Higashinoji, Hosokawa Koharu made several phone calls to Higashinoji before coming over. He said overtly and secretly that it would be okay even if he didn't finish the writing. Mr. Higashino, don't worry, since he is just someone who has music incorporated into the textbook. At worst, we don't want the opportunity. We don't care about this opportunity anyway.

She had a good attitude, spoke softly, and cheered her on, fully expressing her idea of ​​"I'm on your side."

Higashinoji smiled and comforted her several times, asking her to come over early, and said that he would definitely be able to produce a good work for her.

Now that Higashinoji has said so, I still have to go over and check out the situation, both from a sense of obligation and a sense of reason.

Then--

"Have you really written it down?" Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help pinching his chin as he looked at the two pages of musical scores that Higashinoji held together with a folder.

Higashinoji always gave her a lot of surprises, but this time the surprise was a bit too big.

This made Hosokawa Koharu hide his surprise and said half-jokingly: "Teacher Higashino, you are too fast. You solved a big problem in one night. This is a bit unscientific. Some people said that you have more problems than normal people." Such a brain makes me believe it now."

"Let's take a look at the simple music score first." Higashinoji squinted his eyes and smiled. Then he reached out to Hosokawa Koharu and handed the simple music score to him, making a 'please' gesture at the same time.

"Yeah." Hosokawa Koharu didn't hesitate, took the musical score, hummed the tune, and quickly scanned the lyrics at a glance.

The title of the song is "Don't Give Up", which is very straightforward and simple.

But Hosokawa Koharu didn't care.

The song still depends on the music and lyrics. The song title is more straightforward and simple, but it makes people feel like it directly touches the soul.

She was just humming the tune, and she already noticed that this song was obviously different from "Lemon" and "Nothing" by Higashino Tsukasa.

Unlike "Lemon" and "Nothing", the lyrics of "Don't Give Up" are very straightforward.

‘Don’t give up, look, there, the goal is ahead. ’

It was this kind of simple lyrics, paired with a tune that spoke directly from the heart, but somehow it was able to impress Hosokawa Koharu.

If "Lemon" and "Nothing" are unpredictable change balls in baseball, then "Don't Give Up" is a simple and straightforward ball.

But it was this feeling of being straightforward, without any pretense, and without any makeup that made Hosokawa Koharu raise her eyebrows, and sincerely felt that this song was indeed very good.

Just like the national treasure-level queen Izumi Sakai, her delicate beauty cannot be concealed even without makeup.

Humming this song softly, Hosokawa Koharu was not like what was described in many novels, all of a sudden as if he had been given chicken blood, and his face turned red as if he had drank stimulants, but gradually he felt that something deep in his heart emerged. Strength, the whole person also has spirit.

She sighed a little.

Since taking over the task of being the editorial team leader, her pressure has indeed increased a lot, but this song actually made her feel that the pressure had dissipated a lot.

Perhaps this is the appeal of the art of music.

"How's it going? Editor Hosokawa?" Higashinoji asked when he saw her put down her musical score.

"It is indeed a good song. Although the lyrics are very straightforward and simple, it has a feeling that directly touches the soul. It is indeed very inspiring."

Hosokawa Koharu commented objectively, and then said a little funny: "Actually, the editor of the music textbook there prefers this kind of simple and plain songs this time. After all, the textbooks compiled are mainly junior high school music textbooks, and simpler ones would be better. It is in line with Japanese basic education, and this re-editing of music teaching materials is mainly to inspire young people who are confused and confused after the economic crisis. Unexpectedly, Mr. Higashino just came up with this kind of work."

It is undoubtedly easier for a song to impress others with a tactful and changeable form, but it is very difficult to impress others with a direct expression of the heart and a direct and bright rhythm.

Hearing these words, Higashinoji also sighed a little.

When Hosokawa Koharu said this, he inexplicably discovered that there seemed to be "God's will in the dark" in the world.

The song "Sakai Izumi" was the result of Japan's post-bubble economy. In this world, this song was born under the hands of Tonoji. It is similar to the song "Sakai Izumi" in the previous life. It was mainly to inspire those hesitant and confused young people. .

There is indeed a sense of ‘divine guidance’ in this.

This made Higashino couldn't help but shake his head.

Just as Higashinoji was sighing, Chinatsu Yamada next to him glanced here twice, and then immediately retracted his eyes, not quite understanding - is this song that good?

She didn't understand music theory or the concept of simplified musical notation, so she felt that Hosokawa Koharu's statement was a bit exaggerated. Her family is a standard family struggling to make ends meet due to the bubble economy.

As a worker in a closed factory, her father could not find a job after the bubble economy, so she and her mother could only earn money by doing odd jobs to support the family. Those days were really difficult, and besides her, she had a younger brother in the family. Therefore, I had to drop out of school and transfer to a junior college. Even at this time, my life can only be regarded as a mess caused by the bubble economy of that year.

Is this song so good?

She has not actually listened to it, so she will not comment.

As if aware of Chinatsu's gaze on the mountain, Higashinoji turned around and asked curiously: "Chinatsu, do you have any ideas?"

"Huh? No, nothing."

Halfway through her words, she saw Higashinoji's meaningful smile, which made her swallow her words back and said in a small voice: "How about singing a few lines?"

This was what she really thought, but she regretted it as soon as she said it and felt like a fool.

What attitude are you using when talking to Higashikata?

Even singing a few lines, do you really think that Higashinoji is the kind of singer who sells his songs on the street with a small speaker on his back?

Chinatsu Yamayama was about to change her mind, but to her surprise, Higashinoji nodded thoughtfully: "Well, indeed, if you don't actually sing it and just read the lyrics and melody, it really doesn't make sense."

No matter whether it is a mule or a horse, it still needs to be taken out for a walk. Not everyone is like Hosokawa Koharu, who can read simple music and understand music theory.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if I sing a few lines.

Higashino didn't hesitate and started singing very simply.

Unlike many Japanese singers, his advantage is that his voice is clear and translucent. Paired with this song "Don't Give Up", it really makes people feel like they have courage in their hearts.

Even without the blessing of background sound and simple singing a cappella, Higashinoji accurately grasped the feeling of this song and sang it out.

This is actually a bit of wisdom. Higashinoji has heard Sakai Izumi's original singing, so as long as she sings according to her feelings in terms of vocal production, there won't be many problems.

However, Higashinoji was not particularly satisfied, because even if he sang it according to the feeling in his impression, he felt that he still did not restore much of the essence of "Don't Give Up".

The emotional investment is not deep enough, and it does not have the power to reach the bottom of the heart. In short, it is a mess.

Higashino stopped halfway through singing and coughed twice in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't sing very well."

He only said half of what he said, and then he saw that Hosokawa Koharu's eyes were a little red, and she seemed to feel like tears were welling up, but she was okay and held it back.

Shanxia Qianxia next to her couldn't hold it back and started to whisper, "There's sand in my eyes" and rubbed her eyes.

As for what Higashinoji said just now, "The singing is not very good," these words were ignored by the two of them.

It's so good that I can't sing it well. It's simply great. The feeling pierced their hearts.

Higashinoji felt that Shanxia Chinatsu's reaction was too exaggerated, so he couldn't help but turned his head and asked her.

Perhaps her mood was slightly aroused by the song, Shanxia Chinatsu told Higashinoji why she worked so hard and the specific situation at home.

Only when Chinatsu Yamayama said that she was one of the victims of the bubble economy did Higashinoji understand.

It was obvious that the song "Don't Give Up" evoked some memories of Chinatsu Yamayama and resonated with her emotions to a certain extent.

This sounds very mysterious, but in fact it is similar to the definition of not listening to love songs when you are sad.

"It's really a good song." Chinatsu Yamayama wiped away her tears, and then told Higashinoji excitedly: "Teacher Higashino, please put this song on the single disc you are making. It will definitely be very good." popular."

She will definitely buy it anyway.

Yano Ryuichi has contacted the CD production house. They are willing to produce single CDs of "Lemon" and "There is Nothing in Our Hands". After discussions between Higashinoji and Yano Ryuichi, they decided to set the price at 1,500 Between 100 yen and 2,000 yen, based on market price.

However, the disc recording work has not officially started there. If Higashinoji has the idea, he can add "Don't Give Up" to it.

The construction of the voice actor and singing recording studio at Higashino Studio has also started and is now available for use. This song "Don't Give Up" is simply a coincidence.

Higashinoji didn't say anything, didn't make a decision, just looked at Hosokawa Koharu.

Although he can make his own decision, he still has to respect Hosokawa Koharu. Does a music textbook like this allow him to sing it first?

"That's no problem." Hosokawa Koharu clearly noticed Higashinoji's gaze. She didn't turn over the documents and only relied on her memory to explain: "This kind of thing is something that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology wants to ask Mr. Higashino. They are sure of such a small matter. They won’t care, and the higher the popularity, it will be very helpful for the promotion of new music teaching materials, and they may even support it.”

After saying this, Higashino nodded, indicating that he probably understood the specific situation. Then he thought about it and said, "I'll think about it."

However, the advice given by Chinatsu Yamayama is indeed good, and it can indeed come in handy. Higashinoji plans to discuss it with Yano Ryuichi later.

"Then I'll take this simplified music score back first. Teacher Higashikata, I'll let you know when the results are out in the afternoon. There should be no problem, right? Teacher Higashino?"

Hosokawa Koharu smiled and put the musical score in his arms and said.

"No problem." Higashino replied with a smile.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then Tonoji watched Hosokawa Koharu leave, then said hello to Chinatsu Yamayama, turned around and walked to the office to call Yano Ryuichi.

To be honest, Yano Ryuichi was very excited when he received the call from Higashinoji.

He was originally going to check the status of the original soundtrack, but halfway there, Tonoji called, making him so excited that the phone in his hand made a clicking sound.

What's wrong?

Could it be that Higashinoji finally remembered his importance as an animation supervisor and wanted to join the supervision team of "The Winner is Justice"? This is totally fine! He had always wanted to flex his muscles in this business as a supervisor, instead of receiving the high salary from Tonoji and doing such insignificant 'little things' that could make his black hair fall off.

He suddenly became interested and answered the phone: "Teacher Higashino? What's wrong?"

"I want to talk to Yano-san about something. Can you come over?"

"Come right away."

Yano Ryuichi put down the phone without hesitation, turned around, called a taxi and headed to Higashino Studio.

Yano Ryuichi came with enthusiasm and a steady pace!

Then he was dejected and left helplessly.

There is quite a feeling that talents are not appreciated, integrity is old, and heroes are in their twilight years.

My mood right now is very complicated.

very complicated.

You could say that Higashikata didn't pay much attention to him, but he listened to a lot of his opinions and left many things to him.

But these are not things that a team-oriented guy like me should do.

He couldn't help but plucked his hair and found that his hair was gradually becoming damaged.

It cannot be said that talents are not appreciated.

All I can say is that I didn’t seem to be used in the right place by Higashinoji.

night.

In addition to helping review the original paintings in the studio, Higashinoji also had work to do on "Unnatural Death" when he went home at night.

After Konoe Ryoka finished massaging his head as usual, Tonoji stood up and planned to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.

There is no way, no matter who you are, you will be hungry at this time of night.

He glanced at Higashino Chihaya's room.

Chihaya Higashino also went to bed very early today.

Even after listening to "Lemon" and "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands", Chihaya Higashino seems to have not changed much. She still gets up early and goes to bed early, looking innocent and lively.

This made Higashino also touch his chin and shake his head slightly.

He felt that he still owed Higashino Chihaya. He had been busy with things and the time he spent with her had plummeted.

"You still have to make time to go out with Chihaya." Higashinoji murmured to himself, and then walked to the kitchen.

But what surprised him was that there were two rice balls placed on the table, and a thermos bottle containing exquisite miso soup was placed next to it.

This was probably done when Konoe Ryoka left.

Higashikata was a little touched.

The little girl Konoe Ryoka always takes care of people in such details.
