Ye Zhao didn't care about Kawamoto's apology, and he focused all on this half-written song.

After working with Kawamoto Makoto for so long, he probably knew that Kawamoto Makoto was the type of lyrics and music that appeared at the same time when writing songs, so now, although the half song in his hand is a semi-finished product, it already has some rough lyrics.

"1/2?", along with the lyrics and melody, Ye Zhao blurted out a sentence.

"What?" Kawamoto Makoto showed a puzzled expression.

The most important reason why Kawamoto Makoto was able to be qualified to be included in the chronology of singers after the TV station when she retired from the mainstream music industry and moved underground, was that in the original history, she had her own representative works and millions of albums since she officially debuted in 1996 in less than two years.

This starting point is definitely one of the best newcomers in the same period.

Her million-dollar album is her debut album "Kawamoto Makoto". When she first debuted, she achieved sales of millions, which shows how much she attracted worldwide attention. An important reason that made her debut album so brilliant is also because this album contains the most-selling single in her short career as a mainstream singer: "1/2".

If you happened to watch the animation "Rongke Sword Heart", you will definitely be familiar with this song. This song is the second OP song of the TV animation "Rongke Sword Heart". This single ended up selling 730,000 copies, ranking 29th on the 1997 singles annual list.

The TV version of "Ronke Jianxin" is contracted by Sony Records. Sony singers have sang OP or ED songs for this animation, including JUDY AND MARY, Kawamoto Makoto, Rainbow Band, T.M. Revolution, etc.

Having said that, in the era when TIE-UP was popular, the song itself and the works of TIE often felt like "I don't know why it was paired with such a strange song".

For example, the song "Only Staring at You" by Dark Mori and "Slam Dunk" has a line that actually says "I also know more about the car and even fell in love with football." Although this song is a super masterpiece and one of the theme songs that Ye Zhao has the deepest impression of "Slam Dunk", so every time I hear it, I have the urge to go to the basketball court to play wildly, but in an animation with basketball as the theme, "I even fell in love with football", what is this doing?

Even if it is tailored, strange songs will still appear. For example, the first OP "Freckles" sung by JUDY AND MARY for "Longke Sword Heart". The band received a notice that it will be the theme song of "Longke Sword Heart" before the single was produced. However, because none of their band members had watched the animation "Longke Sword Heart", they didn't know how to write songs that fit the animation. So they wrote "Freckles" based on the animation "Little Sweet" that all members of the band watched as inspiration.

Therefore, the "freckles" in this song that makes people confused are not on Kenshi Himemura's face, but on the little Tiantian's face.

...

In the original history, this song "1/2" was released in March 1997. Now, what Ye Zhao has in his hand is a piece that has just been written in half and may only be called "formal form".

Kawamoto Makoto seemed to mistakenly think that the "1/2" in Ye Zhao's mouth meant that the song was only half of it, and explained to him: "... Suddenly, the inspiration flashed and he wrote it down immediately. But after that, he didn't know how to proceed, so he had to put it aside for the time being."

Ye Zhao was wrong and nodded, "But it's a pretty interesting melody." After thinking about it, he said to Kawamoto Makoto: "Miss Kawamoto, can you help me get a guitar?"

"Please wait a moment." Kawamoto Makoto got up and picked up a cascade guitar that was placed in the control room to confirm the pitch.

Ye Zhao took the guitar, debugged the strings, and hummed it in front of Kawamoto Makoto while recalling the melody of "1/2".

As the melody gradually spread out, Kawamoto Makoto, who was still a little confused at the beginning, suddenly had an unconcealed surprise on her face... This is, filling up her song with only a small piece of melody!

Although Ye Zhao was just humming the song in his memory again, in the eyes of Kawamoto Makoto, who had witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, Ye Zhao, who only got a melody clip and could seamlessly connect it to complete a song, showed a talent that was like a "magical skill".

Invisible pretense is the most fatal... If this is considered as pretense, although Ye Zhao feels that this is not pretense at all. For a person who has a golden finger, who has been standing on the shoulders of a giant from the beginning and has a starting point of more than a hundred meters higher than others, it is really boring to gain a sense of superiority by showing his so-called "in front of others".

...Then what are you doing now?

Having said that, although the thing that is being done now is very suspicious of being pretended, Ye Zhao’s original intention of doing this is not to show his own part, so he should return the lightning rod in his hand to him as soon as possible.

After Ye Zhao hummed the complete song "1/2", Kawamoto Makoto clapped his hands and said in conscientiously: "It's worthy of Ye Zhaosang! This is really amazing!"

"Nothing happened." Ye Zhao put down his guitar. "I like this melody very much. When I saw it, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and wanted to try to make it complete. It made you laugh."

"If others could take a look at the situation just now, it would definitely scare everyone." Kawamoto Makoto was still very moved. "Improvised composition is not particularly surprising, but it is really possible to be able to complete other people's songs improvised, and there is no sense of incongruity at all. This is really..."

There are many people who have the skills of improvisational composition. Basically, musicians who have received orthodox music can complete this in public. However, it is not particularly difficult to draw a painting by yourself. It can recompile half of others' paintings, and it can continue the original author's brushstrokes and painting style. It will not make people feel uncomfortable in patching things together. This is really a super difficult mode.

There are not so many people who can do this, or even very few.

Kawamoto Makoto insisted on praising Ye Zhao and put him in the type of talented person. Ye Zhao had to say "sorry" to her original author in his heart while accepting it implicitly. Of course, it is not a bad thing, or a good thing to be recognized by Kawamoto Makoto as a talented person and then respected by her.

It can be roughly seen from the original historical trajectory that Kawamoto Makoto is a somewhat arrogant person who belongs to musicians and is also very independent of his music. If she can admire Ye Zhao in her heart, then for a long time in the future, some of the opinions put forward by Ye Zhao can at least be heard by her.

In that case, when she was about to let herself go, Ye Zhao could try to stop her from doing so, so as not to let a good future star, a singer with all her talents and personality become the tears of the times, and after more than ten years, it was because she had an unpleasant love affair with the playboy Hideto Kano.

After accepting Kawamoto Makoto's praise, Ye Zhao quickly got to the point, "Miss Kawamoto, why not use this new single title, right?"

"Eh?" Kawamoto Makoto was a little surprised.

"Although the title song of the debut single is provided by me, Miss Kawamoto is a singer-songwriter after all. If possible, she should show the public your talent in this regard as much as possible. The effect of C/W songs is limited, so this time, why not just make a collaborative song, right?"

"Of course this is great!" Although his original song, although only one of the melodies can be used as the title song of the new single, is of course good news for Kawamoto Makoto, who is determined to make his own music.

"Since that's the case... let's make the song now and give it to Mr. Okazaki as soon as possible. As for the lyrics, I should ask Miss Kawamoto to complete it in the future, right?" Ye Zhao asked.

"Please leave it to me." Kawamoto Makoto agreed confidently, "However, although the lyrics need to be brewed, I have already thought about the name of the song."

"What?"

"1/2." Kawamoto Makoto smiled, "Because this song was completed by Ye Zhaosang and I, although it was a bit shameless, it just happened to account for 1/2 each... Ye Zhaosang mentioned 1/2 just now, and it was because he thought about the idea of ​​filling this song with the completeness, right?"

After Kawamoto Makoto finished speaking, Ye Zhao smiled just as he was wrong, "It's almost like that."

...

That night, Ye Showa Kawamoto Makoto collaborated on the lyrics-free version of this song "1/2" in the recording studio. After commissioning the studio here to produce a DEMO belt, he took it to Tadao Okazaki for a trial. Although the song producer is Ye Sho, the executive producer is Tadao Okazaki, and these reports are necessary.

Tadao Okazaki didn't know that the process of making this song was so magical. After listening to the song and confirming that the quality of the song was good, he quickly nodded and agreed.

The title song was decided to be produced by Ye Shogawa Moon Makoto, while this time the C/W song was provided by Ye Shogawa. A single "Floating Boat" released by a band called GO!GO!7188 in 2002. This band is a niche band. The most popular song in their career is a song called "こいのうた". This song, which is said to "setting it as a mobile phone ringtone will bring love luck" was very popular among young people later.

Despite this, they never reached the peak of their careers. Although their music quality is very high, the arrangement of this song "Floating Boat" is complicated and the lead singer's singing style is a bit strange, but it also has a weird taste.

...

Speaking of late October, there are still a little more than two months before the end of 1995, so some things are put on the agenda early at this time.

For example... NHK's Red and White Song Club. Although the official announcement of the list of participants was in December and the official rehearsal was on the 29th, a few months ago, NHK would start to select the list of people who are eligible to be selected for the Red and White Song Club this year and start contacting their firms and record companies.

In 1994, although he released three best-selling singles in one go, Ye Zhao did not get a ticket to Hongbai. Among them, it was BEING's own reasons. Whether it was B’z or ZARD, he had never appeared on the stage of the Hongbai Song Club at the peak of his career. Of course, for such a big man, he did not participate in Hongbai because he was not interested. But for other BEING singers, it was not just that he could not appear on this stage, but that was not interested.

In addition, there are also the shortage of places in the Red and White Song Club. First, the positions of those big bosses who performed songs should be reserved, and then the positions for big singers, then the positions of the BRUNING department and Johnnys, and then the positions between major record companies and firms... After a little bit, some singers would have to be screened down.

As for the last point, perhaps the most important point, he made such a big news when he first debuted. Although he successfully reversed and cleared his stigma, it was the second year when the matter was really settled. For NHK, who valued the reputation of a singer, he would never invite him back then.

And this year, when NHK began to decide on the list of singers for the Red and White Song Festival this year, he sent the invitation to BEING and Ye Zhao's personal offices early.

As the most popular music program in Japan, it is absolutely first-class to improve popularity. For example, real big shots, such as B’z, who doesn’t start working during the Chinese New Year, Yumi Matsuri Tani who has no time to make the New Year’s Eve dinner, is not Matsuyama Chiharu who won’t appear until the finale, and Utada Hikari, who has never seen Hongbai before, who can refuse the Hongbai Song Club in a variety of ways, and not only does not feel that he has lost face, but also has to continue to invite him every year.

However, for other singers, especially those whose national popularity is not high and who urgently need to increase their popularity, it is definitely a dream to be able to participate in a red and white song party.

As for why not mention qualifications? When will the Hongbai Song Club choose seniority? As long as the backstage is strong enough, it will be a topical figure in the past that year.

Although Ye Zhao has not yet dreamed of being able to turn the brand by Hongbai Song, he will never refuse to receive Hongbai invitations. Anyway, he has neither New Year's Eve concert nor has he had to busy making New Year's Eve dinner, nor does he dream of being the finale at Hongbai at the age of 20, and is also very familiar with this Japanese Spring Festival Gala.
