Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

——The people of "Cube Company" are not wrong.

Different from Kato Yusuke.

After all, the other party has never played the game "", so naturally he cannot make something exactly the same. This is a crime other than war.

But still the same sentence.

Kato Yusuke came here to get his own way, so he would not choose to give in.

Therefore, even if the other party shows resistance, he does not intend to compromise.

He frowned slightly and searched deep in the memory in his mind for a while, then slowly said:

"... Regarding the game music, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. It's just that the existing music style is very different from my ideal, so I said no."

Sound Production asked immediately:

"So, can you tell us your specific requirements in detail? When explaining, please avoid using ambiguous words and try to express them clearly."

Kato Yusuke glanced at her, turned his attention to the sound monitor, and muttered:

"Mr. Goto, I am not a professional musician and cannot express it like you. If possible, can I roughly hum the melody I want?"

"Hey~ do you want to hum?"

When Goto heard this, he showed an interested expression, and then nodded happily.

"Well, that's a good idea! Then, Kato-san, just go ahead and hum it, don't be shy."

In this regard, Sound Production remained noncommittal and waited to see what would happen.

The sound mixer behind him curled his lips, laughing inwardly.

Composing music seems simple. Even a three-year-old child can casually hum a few lines. But if you want to write a melody that is both good-sounding and in line with the mainstream, it is a completely different matter.

If ordinary people don’t have that much professional knowledge, if they want to write music that can be used in commercial works, they can only use four words to describe it——

Idiot's dream!

The mixer thought this while showing a funny expression.

Kato Yusuke ignored those looks mixed with subtle malice and nodded to the sound monitor.

"So, first, a theme song."

He cleared his throat, pondered for a while, and started singing a cappella.

"Duanzi~Duanzi~Duanzi~Duanzi~Duanzi~Duanzi, big family."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was stunned.

This is...a children's song——? ?

The sound supervisor couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Sound Production frowned.

The sound mixer disdained.

The three of them had different expressions, but they did not interrupt.

Without saying anything, Hui put her other hand on the back of his hand and intertwined his fingers tightly, clenching tightly as if to convey support.

Kato Yusuke felt this, looked sideways at her with warm eyes, and smiled tenderly.

"Naughty and mischievous baked dumplings ~ gentle and kind-hearted bean paste dumplings."

"Everyone, everyone, come together to form a family of a hundred people."

"Duango baby ~ live happily ever after."

"Old Tuanzi~ He always smiles so hard that he narrows his eyes."

Immediately afterwards——

"The group members were happily holding hands and forming a big circle~~~"

The beautiful melody flows out, and the rising chorus suddenly becomes catchy.

Everyone: "——!?"

"The dumplings built a small town and smiled happily on the dumpling star~"

"There are rabbits waving in the sky ~ and there is also a big moon ~"

"Combine all the happy and sad things into a ball~~~"

The melodious tail sound floats in the air, full of vitality and vitality. It's like a lingering sound lingering in my ears for three days.

As the singing stopped, there was a brief void in the room, leaving only the faint sound of breathing.

"Mr. Goto." Yusuke Kato looked straight ahead, "This is the theme song for the character Nagisa Furukawa. What do you think?"

"Um…………"

The sound monitor frowned hesitantly, touched his chin and thought carefully, and asked after a while:

"Um... Kato-chan, didn't you just say a simple hum? How come you even have lyrics??"

Kato Yusuke did not answer this question and said:

"...In short, this is the theme song I want for Nagisa Furukawa. The instrument is xylophone as the main instrument and piano as the supplement. After the first chapter ends, harmony should be added to the second half of the chorus."

"The second half?? This means... Kato-chan, you already have a complete song?"

"...That's right, can you do it?"

"Well...how should I put it? Let me think about it first."

The sound monitor said as he closed his eyes and shook his head gently up and down, as if simulating the melody in his mind.

After a while, he opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes shining slightly.

"It's interesting... No, this is very interesting. Brother Kato, you want a xylophone and a piano, right? Our company has these instruments! Come with me, let's talk about this in detail."

After finishing speaking, he walked out in a hurry.

Kato Yusuke naturally did not hesitate and pulled Hui to follow him.

The sound production and mixing engineers looked at each other and followed suit.

In this way, a group of people moved from the control room to the instrument room.

Goto made a phone call and called for a helper who could play the xylophone. After briefly explaining the melody to the other party, he sat down in front of the piano.

"Okay, Brother Kato, everything is ready. Let's sing the theme song together live! Just sing it and we will watch and cooperate with you."

"good."

Kato Yusuke nodded and stood directly in front of the microphone without any stage fright.

After making sure he was ready, the sound manager gave the xylophone player a wink.

Ding ding dong~

Along with the crisp sound of the piano, the young man also spoke.

"~~~~~~"

This time, Kato Yusuke's a cappella singing became different.

With the addition of xylophone accompaniment, the melody immediately lost its previous monotony and became very rhythmic and dynamic.

The lively notes dance lightly in the room, and the sound of the piano and the singing harmonize, jumping into people's ears one after another.

until--

"The group members were happily holding hands and forming a big circle~~~"

That moment when the chorus sounds.

The audience's bodies were shaken in unison, and goose bumps suddenly appeared on their skin, but they held their breath and listened carefully with their ears raised.

The room became extremely quiet.

Accompanied by the young man's clean and melodious voice, the beautiful melody lingers in the air, full of emotion and beautiful.

Listening to the infectious singing, the sound producer couldn't help but feel a little moved. He felt as if he had been transported to a completely unfamiliar world, but at the same time he felt extremely familiar.

The mixer's eyes widened in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

"How is this possible——!?!?"

——This idea popped into my head.

He opened his mouth blankly, his expression frozen.

The main thing is that what happened in front of him was completely beyond his understanding!

How is this possible? ?

How could a layman write such a melody? ? !

Again--!

The profession of composing music seems simple, but in fact the threshold is quite high.

Generally speaking, the melody written by an ordinary person without professional knowledge is basically just a gibberish!

Not to mention the foreshadowing of the paragraphs and the gradual progression of emotions, even the neatness of the dialogues is a problem!

However, Kato Yusuke is different——!

These problems that are difficult for ordinary people to grasp did not appear at all in the other party's mouth!

Juvenile's arrangement is exquisite, rhythmic and ups and downs.

Although there are many repetitive passages, the other party cleverly used some changes to make the entire track even better.

The mixer listened to the warm and moving melody that seemed to evoke people's fond memories, and couldn't help but think of the music he had made previously.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that my own things are really not as good as others'...

His heart was complicated and aggrieved, and he finally fell into melancholy.

Hui stood quietly, staring at the young man in the center, her heart filled with branches and branches, and her rippling pupils swaying gently.

Ding~ding~dong.

Finally, the singing and the piano stopped together.

The xylophone player put down the hammer, glanced at the silent crowd, and then commented in surprise.

"Okay, this song is really good.

The melody is simple and pleasant, the arrangement is rich and colorful, the harmonies are layered, and the appeal is quite catchy. The only problem is that it is more suitable for girls to sing.

Although this guy's voice is not unpleasant, it lacks a bit of slenderness and airiness, and cannot express that kind of aura. It's a pity, it's really a pity. "

Seeing him sighing, the sound supervisor laughed and scolded him rudely.

"I'll take you down. I'm not a professional singer in the first place, so don't find fault with me. If you have the ability, can you write such a song and see?"

The two seem to have a good relationship.

Facing the sound supervisor's sarcasm, the xylophone player just shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at Yusuke Kato with some eager eyes.

"Not to mention too much, this song I made is really very good. Where did you get your job? Are you interested in working with us?"

Hearing this, everyone, including Kato Yusuke, couldn't help but be startled.

But the next moment, the sound supervisor kicked the xylophone player in the butt.

"Idiot, they are our company's customers. Are you out of your mind?"

"What? What happened to the customer? I just asked, what if they are willing?"

"Let me ask you! I told you to stop staying at home all day long and pay more attention to things outside.

Open your eyes and take a good look. Brother Kato is a cartoonist whose copyright was sold for 100 million some time ago! You still want to hire someone, can you afford it? "

"ah--!?"

The xylophone player was shocked, as if he had just noticed this. He stared at Kato Yusuke with wide eyes, and finally said with surprise on his face, "It's you."

The look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a rare animal, made Kato Yusuke a little uncomfortable.

Just when he was about to say something, the sound producer from behind came up and pushed the xylophone player out of the room on the grounds of "please don't be rude to the company's guests."

"...I'm really sorry that our staff has caused trouble to Mr. Kato. And...I also want to apologize for my previous rudeness. The music you wrote is really excellent. I'm sorry."

The sound producer apologized sincerely and bowed deeply with dignity.

Talented people will be respected no matter where they are. This is a truth that applies everywhere.

When the sound mixer saw her reaction, he had mixed emotions. At the same time, he had to admit that the song she made was really good.

The sound supervisor was happy to see this, and asked someone who walked next to Hui: "Brother Kato, what is the name of this piece of music?"

""The Tuanzi Family"."

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this name, as if they thought it was a bit too simple and straightforward.

Kato Yusuke didn't care about this and looked around the musical instrument room.

"Mr. Goto, I have some other songs that I want to demonstrate. Can I ask for your help?"

"Are there other songs??"

The sound supervisor's eyes lit up, "Of course! What instruments do you need? I'll find someone to accompany you."

"Okay, then it's hard work."

Kato Yusuke politely thanked him and accepted it calmly.

There's nothing to be polite about, it's all about work.

In this way, the two of them communicated about the instruments they needed to use as if no one else was watching.

Sound production and mixing engineers stood and listened.

Hui found a chair and sat down a little further away, taking out her cell phone.

After confirming Kato Yusuke's needs, the sound supervisor quickly found many helpers.

There are those who play guitar, string instruments, wind instruments... almost all kinds of talents are available. This also included the xylophone player who was driven away, and even the sound mixer came on board to serve as a keyboard player.

The room became lively as more and more people joined.

Kato Yusuke was surrounded by a group of musicians, calmly describing the melody he wanted, and humming a piece live from time to time.

He didn't hum very fast, and sometimes he would stop and think for a while, as if he was considering the subsequent design and connection.

Although it was a bit intermittent, it seemed to the sound monitors and others that it was completely normal.

After all, composing is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If Yusuke Kato could do everything as smoothly as when he sang "Duango Family", it would be abnormal.

The musicians listened patiently, asking questions from time to time and getting answers from Yusuke Kato.

After all the questions were answered, the musicians picked up their instruments and began to play tentatively.

The first thing to play was "Little Palm".

In an instant, the beautiful melody spread in the room.

This song uses the chorus section of "The Tuanzi Family", with the main key slightly lowered.

The soundtrack is mainly composed of piano and xylophone, accompanied by a chorus to render the grand sadness. The sound produced is pure and ethereal, and has a sense of imagery.

The song is over.

Not only the audience, but also the performer himself was astonished and marveled at the excellence of this piece.

Without giving them much time to reflect, the second song "Tide Ming" started playing immediately.

It opens in a gentle and melodious way, using piano and string instruments to create a quiet and contemplative atmosphere, making people feel like they are on a peaceful and beautiful coast.

As the track progresses, the melody of piano and string instruments intensifies, as if the waves are slowly lapping on the shore.

At the same time, the playing of guitars and percussion instruments gradually became more intense, and the rhythm became more and more obvious, just like the mutual agitation of sea wind and waves.

Finally, at the climax of the entire track, the string and percussion performances reach their peak.

The intense music intuitively expresses the huge power brought by the waves, as well as the beautiful and spectacular scene. Let people deeply feel the magic of nature.

No one spoke, only the sad and beautiful timbre floated in the room, as if it wanted to touch the softest part of people's hearts, making them depressed.

The musicians were silent for a long time, feeling a little tight in their chests. The female music producer couldn't help but turn her face away and gently wipe the corners of her eyes.

Then comes the third song, "Where Wishes Come True."

Its melody is simple and pure, with piano and guitar as the main accompaniment, and some soft string instruments as embellishments.

The whole piece expresses the meaning and true meaning of life, and the warm tone injects deep and pure emotion into this theme. Sad but light, it deeply resonates with the audience.

The musicians looked depressed, looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and felt a little lost for a moment.

Kato Yusuke stood in the center, like the conductor of the orchestra, announcing the preparations for the next song.

However, everyone was still immersed in the faint sad aftertaste and did not want to wake up.

The sound mixer shook his head and let out a weak sigh, completely convinced.

The other party's level is much higher than his, and the gap is so big that even jealousy feels superfluous, leaving only admiration.

Generally speaking, composers have four main important considerations in the process of creating game music.

They are emotional expression, game needs, time pressure, and music adaptability.

Only by mastering these skills can a composer create satisfying, high-level game soundtracks.

Behind this is not only a profound knowledge of music theory and harmony, but also the ability to skillfully integrate these elements into the work.

In addition, the interactivity between players and music is also an issue that must be considered.

As an old man in the industry, the mixer has participated in the production of countless game music, and has also personally produced satisfactory works.

However--!

That is work that requires a lot of time and effort, and even requires inspiration to complete.

He could not even dream of composing so many high-level songs like this within a few hours.

Kato Yusuke waited for a while and once again proposed the next ensemble song, saying that it would be the last one.

This time, the musicians did not push back and played "Two Idiots" expectantly, letting the cheerful melody and bright rhythm resound throughout the room.

This piece uses a combination of piano, guitar, harmonica, trumpet and other instruments, and the melody is light, smooth and dynamic.

The music style exaggerates the relaxed and happy feeling, creating a vibrant and sunny scene, making people unconsciously twist to the rhythm of the music, which relieves the melancholy mood just now.

Finally, all the songs were played, and the ensemble came to an end in a pleasant atmosphere.

Kato Yusuke nodded with satisfaction, finally feeling a little more comfortable, secretly saying that this was the "" that he was familiar with.

Because too much time had passed, he could not fully recall all the music in the game, so he could only try his best to restore these five impressive tracks.

The warm and healing "Tuanzi Family".

The pure and melodious "Little Palm".

The deeply sad "Tide Ming".

The sincere and pure "Where Wishes Come True".

The light and cheerful "Two Idiots".

The audience enjoyed an auditory feast and were greatly satisfied spiritually.

The musicians exchanged glances, and then swarmed around Kato Yusuke, asking questions around him with gleaming eyes, their eager eyes as if they had seen some rare treasure.

Yin Jing couldn't help but feel a little excited, and his face turned red due to excitement. He had a vague hunch that he seemed to be creating a classic.

The same thought came to mind in sound production.

She repeatedly stared at the relevant information in her hand, deeply aware of the unusual nature of this case, her expression changed, and she felt the need to remind her superiors to pay attention.

Huimo put down her phone, saved the video recorded from beginning to end, and posted it in the studio's contact group.

This is not to show off the superficiality of the person you like, but to prove who the master of these amazing songs is to prevent disputes in the future.

For this reason, she even had a private chat with Hasumi Kanoko and expressed her concerns.

Kato Yusuke was a little impatient by the enthusiasm of the musicians. After a few perfunctory words, he hurriedly withdrew and left the musical instrument room with Megumi.

Return to the control room again.

After having an in-depth discussion with the sound supervisor about the genre of game music, the other person said:

"...I see, I basically understand the style you want, Brother Kato. We will redesign all the music here."

Kato Yusuke glanced at the sound production and mixer next to him, and the two of them nodded friendly to him, with the previous resistance and dissatisfaction on their faces gone.

"Then I'll help you all." He said politely.

The three of them waved their hands and said no.

The sound supervisor showed an expression mixed with emotion and excitement, and said confidently:

"Brother Kato, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result this time. To be honest, I haven't had such passion for a long time since I retired from the band."

"Thanks to you, Brother Togato, I now have a lot more inspiration! Even though I'm responsible for your game music, it will definitely become a classic in the game for you!"

Facing the sound supervisor who suddenly became enthusiastic, Kato Yusuke politely bent over to express his thanks, "Okay, then I'll leave it to Mr. Goto."

"Haha, you're welcome. By the way, this is my business card. Let's add LINE friends. If you, Kato, come up with any new songs in the future, please let us know."

"good."

Kato Yusuke took out his mobile phone and added the other party as a friend.

Now that the matter has been finalized, he has no intention of staying any longer, so he directly bids farewell and leaves the company with Hui.

When they came outside, the girl suddenly said this.

"Yusuke, I found out on the Internet that there is an outdoor store near here, and I want to go and have a look. Can you come with me?"

Kato Yusuke raised his left hand and glanced at the watch given by Shiyu, and found that the time was just past six o'clock.

He thought for a while and said: "...Well, I have no problem, but aren't you tired?"

Hui shook his head.

"Hmm~ That's not what I want to say, but we are leaving next week and I want to prepare early. We can go home after visiting that store, okay?"

"Well."

Kato Yusuke nodded lightly and agreed.

The two of them walked forward together, side by side.

…
