MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 658 amazing composer

  Chapter 658 The Amazingly Talented Composer

  —The "Cube Company" people are not wrong.

   is different from Yusuke Kato.

   After all, the other party has never played the game "Clannad", so naturally they can't make exactly the same thing. This is a crime other than war.

   But still that sentence.

  Yusuke Kato came here to satisfy his wishes, so he would not choose to make do with it.

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

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

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

  Audio production immediately ask questions:

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

   Kato Yusuke glanced at her, turned his gaze to the sound monitor, and said in a deep voice:

   "Mr. Goto, I'm not a professional musician, so I can't express like you. If possible, can I roughly hum the melody I want?"

   "Hey, are you humming?"

  Goto nodded happily after hearing this with an expression of interest.

   "Well, that's a good idea! Brother Kato, just hum and watch, don't be shy."

   In this regard, the sound producer was noncommittal and waited and watched.

  The sound mixer behind curled his lips, laughing inwardly.

  It seems simple to say that composing music, even a three-year-old child can hum a few words casually, but if you want to write a melody that is both pleasant and mainstream, it is a completely different matter.

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

  Fantasy!

  The sound mixer was thinking so, while showing a joke expression.

   Kato Yusuke ignored those subtle malicious eyes, and nodded to the sound monitor.

   "So, first, a theme song."

  He cleared his throat, brewed a little, and began to sing a cappella.

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

  As soon as he spoke, everyone was taken aback.

  This is...a nursery rhyme—? ?

  The sound supervisor couldn't help being dumbfounded.

  The audio producer frowned.

   The sound mixer disdains.

  The expressions of the three people were different, but they didn't interrupt.

  Hui didn't say anything, and covered the back of his hand with the other hand, and interlocked his fingers tightly, as if to convey support.

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

   "Mischievous baked dumplings ~ gentle and kind red bean paste dumplings."

   "Everyone~everyone~ get together to form a family of a hundred people."

   "Baby Tuanzi ~ live happily ever after."

   "Old Man Tuanzi ~ always squinting his eyes with a smile."

   Immediately after—

   "The dumplings held hands happily and formed a big circle~~~"

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

  Everyone: "—!?"

   "The Tuanzi built a small town and smiled on the Tuanzi Star~"

   "There are rabbits waving in the sky ~ there is also a big mother-in-law of the moon ~"

   "Knead all happy things~sad things together~~~"

  The melodious ending floats in the air, full of vigor and vitality. It's like a lingering sound lingering in the beams, which lasts for three days.

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

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

"Um……"

  The sound supervisor frowned slightly hesitantly, stroked his chin and pondered seriously, and asked after a while:

   "That's what... Brother Kato, didn't you just hum it briefly? Why do you even have the lyrics??"

   Kato Yusuke did not answer this question, and said:

  “...In short, this is what I want for Nagisa Furukawa’s theme song. The main instrument is the xylophone and the piano is supplemented. After the first chapter, the second half of the chorus should add harmony.”

   "The second half?? What does this mean... Kato, you already have the complete song?"

   "...well, can it be done?"

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

  The sound supervisor closed his eyes as he spoke, shaking his head up and down slightly, as if imitating the melody in his mind.

   After a while, he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were slightly bright.

   "It's kind of interesting... No, it's 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 Kei along to follow.

  The sound producer and sound mixer glanced at each other and followed suit.

   Just like that, a group of people moved from the control room to the musical instrument room.

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

   "Okay, Brother Kato, everything is ready, let's play this theme song live! You can sing it, we will watch and cooperate with you."

"good."

   Kato Yusuke nodded, not being stage frightened about it, and stood directly in front of the microphone.

   After confirming that he was ready, the sound supervisor gave the xylophone player a wink.

  Ding Ding Dong~

  Accompanied by the crisp sound of the piano, the boy also opened his mouth.

   "~~~~~~"

   This time, Kato Yusuke's cappella became different.

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

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

until-

   "The dumplings held hands happily and formed a big circle~~~"

  The moment when the chorus sounded.

  The bodies of the audience trembled at the same time, a layer of goose bumps suddenly appeared on their skin, but they held their breath and listened attentively.

  The room became eerily 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 contagious singing voice, the sound production couldn't help but feel a little moved. I felt like I was brought to a completely strange world, but it felt very familiar.

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

  「How is this possible—!?!?」

  —The idea popped into my head.

  He opened his mouth blankly, his expression frozen.

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

  How is this possible? ?

  How could a layman write such a melody? ? !

Again-!

   Composing music seems simple, but in fact the threshold is quite high.

  Generally speaking, a melody written by an ordinary person without professional knowledge basically has only one random word!

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

  However, Yusuke Kato is different—!

   These questions, which are difficult for ordinary people to grasp, did not appear at all in the mouth of the other party!

  Youth's arrangement is exquisite, with a strong sense of rhythm and ups and downs.

  Although there are many repeated passages in it, the other party has cleverly used some changes to make the whole track even better.

  The sound mixer listened to the warm and moving melody that seemed to evoke people's good memories, and couldn't help but think of the songs he had made before.

  Thinking about it carefully, my own things seem to be inferior to others...

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

  Hui stood quietly, staring at the young man in the center with both eyes, his heart was full of branches and branches, and his rippling pupils swayed 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 gave an evaluation in surprise.

   "Okay, this song is really well done.

  The melody is simple and pleasant, the arrangement is rich and colorful, the harmony layering is strong, and the appeal is quite attractive. The only problem is that it is more suitable for girls to sing.

  Although this little brother’s voice is not unpleasant, it lacks a bit of slenderness and airiness, and cannot express that kind of aura. What a pity, what a pity. "

   Seeing him moaning and sighing, the sound supervisor laughed and cursed impolitely.

   "Pull you down. She is not a professional singer in the first place, so don't pick your bones here. If you have the ability, you can also write such a song to see?"

   The relationship between the two seems to be good.

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

   "Not to mention too much, the song made by my brother is really very good. May I ask where you are in high school? Are you interested in coming to work with us?"

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

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

   "Stupid, he is a client of our company, are you out of your mind?"

   "What? What's wrong with the client? I'm just asking, what if someone wants to?"

   "Ask about your size! I told you not to stay at home all day long, and pay more attention to things outside.

  Keep your eyes open and take a good look, Brother Kato is a manga artist whose copyright was sold for 100 million a while ago! You still want to hire someone, can you afford you? "

"ah-!?"

  The xylophone master was taken aback, as if he had just noticed this, he stared at Kato Yusuke with wide eyes, and finally showed surprise, and said that it was you.

  The eyes that seemed to be looking at rare animals made Kato Yusuke a little uncomfortable.

  Just when he was about to say something, the sound producer behind came up and pushed the xylophone player who seemed a bit out of line out of the room with the excuse of "please don't be rude to the company's guests".

  “…I’m really sorry that our employees have caused trouble for you, Kato-san. Also… I also want to apologize for my previous rudeness. The repertoire you wrote is really excellent. I’m sorry.”

  The sound producer sincerely apologized in words, and bowed deeply with a correct attitude.

   Talented people will be respected no matter where they are. This is a universal truth.

  Seeing her reaction, the sound mixer had mixed feelings, and at the same time had to admit that the music she made was really good.

  The sound supervisor was happy to see this, and asked someone who walked up to Hui, "Brother Kato, what's the name of this song?"

   "The Big Tuanzi Family."

  Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they heard the name, as if they thought it was too simple and straightforward.

   Kato Yusuke didn't care about these things, and looked around the musical instrument room.

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

   "Any other songs??"

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

   "Okay, that's my job."

   Yusuke Kato thanked him politely, and accepted it safely.

   There is nothing polite about this kind of thing, everything is for work.

   Just like that, the two exchanged the musical instruments they needed as if no one else was there.

   Sound production and mixing engineers stand and listen.

  Hui found a chair and sat down a little further away, and took out her mobile phone.

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

  There are guitarists, stringed instruments, wind instruments... almost all kinds of talents. Among them was the xylophone player who was kicked out, and even the sound mixer also played as a keyboard player.

  As more and more people joined, the room became lively.

  Yusuke Kato was surrounded by a group of musicians, calmly talking about the melody he wanted, and humming a section from time to time.

  He doesn't sing fast, and sometimes he stops to think for a while, as if thinking about the follow-up design and connection.

  Although it was a bit intermittent, it seemed normal to the sound monitors.

  After all, composing music is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If Kato Yusuke is as smooth as when he sings "Danzi Dajia", it will appear abnormal.

  A group of musicians listened patiently, asking some questions from time to time, and got answers from Yusuke Kato.

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

  The first thing to play is "Little Palm".

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

  This song uses the chorus of "The Big Family of Tuanzi", and the main key is slightly lowered.

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

  The song is over.

  Not only the audience, but even the performers themselves were amazed at the excellence of the piece.

   They didn't give them much time to reflect, and the second song "Tide Ming" started to play immediately.

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

  As the track gradually advances, the melody of the piano and stringed instruments also strengthens, as if the waves are slowly beating the shore.

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

   Finally, in the climax of the whole track, the playing of string instruments and percussion reaches its peak.

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

  No one speaks, only the sad and beautiful tone floats in the room, as if to touch the softest part of people's hearts and make people feel depressed.

  The musicians were silent for a long time, only feeling a little stuffy in their chests. Female music producers couldn't help but look away and wipe the corners of their eyes gently.

   Followed by the third song "Where Wishes Come True".

  Its melody is simple and pure, with piano and guitar as the main accompaniment, adding some soft stringed 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 resonated with the audience.

  The musicians looked distressed, looking at each other not knowing what to say, feeling a little lost for a moment.

  Yusuke Kato stood in the center, as if he was the conductor of the orchestra, announcing the preparation for the next song.

  However, everyone is still immersed in the faintly sad aftertaste, unwilling 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 the emotion of jealousy feels redundant, only admiration remains.

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

   are emotional expression, game demands, time pressure, and musical adaptability, respectively.

  A composer can only create satisfactory and high-level game soundtracks if he has mastered the above skills.

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

   In addition, the interaction between the player and the music must also be considered.

  As an old man in the industry, the sound mixer has participated in the production of countless game music, and has also made satisfactory works by himself.

However-!

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

   He couldn't even dream of creating so many high-level songs in a few hours.

   Kato Yusuke waited for a while, and again proposed to perform the next ensemble, and said that this would be the last one.

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

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

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

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

  Yusuke Kato nodded in satisfaction, and finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart, secretly thinking that this is the "Clannad" he is familiar with.

  Because too much time has passed, he can't fully recall all the music in the game, so he can only try his best to restore these five impressive tracks.

  The warm and healing "The Big Tuanzi Family".

  Pure and melodious "Little Palm".

  The sad and profound "Song of the Tide".

  Sincere and pure "Where Wishes Come True".

  The relaxed and cheerful "Two Idiots".

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

  The musicians exchanged a look, and then swarmed to Yusuke Kato, their eyes shining around him asking this and that, as if seeing some rare treasure with eager eyes.

  Yin Jian couldn't help but feel a little excited, and his face became flushed with excitement. He had a vague premonition that he seemed to be creating a classic.

  The same idea also came to the mind of sound production.

  She repeatedly stared at the relevant information in her hand, deeply aware of the extraordinary nature of this case, her expression changed for a while, and she felt that it was necessary to remind her superiors to pay attention.

  Hui silently put down the 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 I like, but to prove who the master of these amazing songs is, so as to prevent disputes in the future.

  For such a reason, she even had a private chat with Hasumi Kanoko to express her concerns.

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

   Return to the control room.

  After discussing the style of game music with the sound supervisor, the other party 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 producer and sound mixer next to him, and the two nodded to him in a friendly way, with no previous resistance and dissatisfaction on their faces.

   "Then I will thank you all." He said politely.

  The three of them waved their hands again and again, saying no.

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

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

   "Thanks to you, Brother Kato, I now have a lot of inspiration! Even though your game music is on me, it will definitely become a classic in the game for you!"

   Facing the sound supervisor who suddenly became enthusiastic, Kato Yusuke bowed politely to express his gratitude, "Okay, then please Mr. Goto."

   "Haha, you're welcome. By the way, this is my business card. Let's add you as friends on LINE. If you think of any new songs later, Brother Kato, please let us know."

"good."

  Yusuke Kato took out his mobile phone and added friends with the other party.

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

  When we came outside, the girl suddenly said this.

   "Yusuke, I found on the Internet that there is an outdoor goods store nearby, and I want to go and have a look. Can you accompany me?"

  Yusuke Kato raised his left hand, glanced at the watch Shiwa gave him, and found that it was just past half past six.

  He thought for a while and said, "...well, I'm fine, but aren't you tired?"

  Hui shook his head.

   "Well, that's not what I'm going to say, but we're leaving next week, and I want to get ready early. We'll go home after visiting that store, okay?"

"Well."

  Yusuke Kato nodded slightly, agreeing.

  The two stood shoulder to shoulder and walked forward together.

  …
