In 1990, BB.QUEENS became famous with the east wind of the theme song of "Cherry Maruko". BEING took advantage of the opportunity to hold an audition for B.B.QUEENS in August of that year. It was this audition that pushed a character to BEING.

Her name is Kuroi Yukiko. She was just a famous model at the time. She was already 25 years old and was "old" and was on the verge of elimination in the RB art world. With the last faint hope, she came to the audition venue held by BEING. Although the selection ended in failure, her outstanding conditions attracted the attention of Nagato Daiyuki, and after the audition was over, she initiated an invitation to join BEING.

The following year in 1991, Yukiko Kasui renamed Sakai Izumizu and became the center of ZARD band and the only fixed member. The legend of an era began.

In China, ZARD's most famous song should be the song "Rolling the Wheel of Fate" by Detective Conan. The classic melody accompanied many people to grow up together. But in RB, her classic song is the song "Don't Give Up" released in 1993. This song has been hovering in the top three inspirational song lists for many years. Later, it was included in music textbooks and became a classic that has passed down. It was also after the release of this song "Don't Give Up" that ZARD announced that it would no longer make public appearances.

Although he no longer played songs on TV and did not hold concerts publicly, ZARD did not disappear because of this. Instead, it maintained strong momentum, creating a sales miracle of 37 million copies in total in his career and over one million copies in nine consecutive albums. As the soul of ZARD, Sakai Izumizu has also become a legendary figure.

When he decided to join BEING, Ye Zhao also imagined meeting Sakai Izumizu. Maybe he met unexpectedly at the company, maybe he wrote a song for her, and met her at the audition of the new song. He also thought about how to greet her and how to tell her that he liked her very much and was her fan. This is the most real reaction of anyone in this era when he saw Sakai Izumizu.

But when Sakai Insumi really appeared in front of him, this strong impact made all the words Ye Zhao rehearsed before lose their meaning. For others, seeing Sakai Insumi was just a superstar who would not appear on TV. But for Ye Zhao, this encounter was not the distance between fans and idols, but the gap between life and death. In 2007, she would fall from the stairs of the hospital while she was seriously ill and rested, and her life ended abruptly at the age of 40.

At this moment, Sakai Izumi, who was standing in front of him, was not a photo and image that left for future generations to recall sadness, but a living person who was at the best time of her life. There has never been a moment like now that Ye Zhao was grateful for the rebirth.

"Who is this?" She noticed Ye Zhao's hot gaze, Sakai Izumi turned her head slightly. When she was sure that the young man who looked at him had no bad meaning in his eyes, she asked Masao Akishi.

"This is the newcomer that the company just signed, the underground singer Ye Zhao who sang "Summer Color". "Akishi Masao smiled and announced proudly, "Now I learn how to arrange the music with me, I am my apprentice!"

"You are Ye Zhao?" Sakai Izumizu looked at Ye Zhao with a little curious, "So young."

"I'm only 19 years old, and the younger generation is so scary." Akio Akio looked at Ye Zhao, who was still in a semi-petrified state, patted him on the shoulder hard and urged: "Why don't you say hello to your senior now!"

As soon as Akishi Masao reminded him, Ye Zhao, who came to his senses, stood up from the chair, "Hello Sister Quanshui!"

Seeing this, Sakai Izumi laughed out loud, "There is no need to be so serious. I am not that kind of fierce senior. But, you call me 'sister'? No one has called me that except for my younger brother and sister in my hometown."

"Uh..." Ye Zhao was purely used to it. After all, in later generations, her fans would call her "sister".

"You don't know this, 吧水." Akishi Masao smiled wickedly and exposed Ye Zhao's true feelings. "This kid just arrived at the company on the first day, Mika wanted to pull him into the BEER meeting, but his first reaction was to ask if you were inside. Look at how he looked when he saw you just now, he was probably your fans, and maybe he was in the company for you."

"Is that true?" Sakai Izumi looked at Ye Zhao with interest, with a little naughty light in his clear eyes. This kind of charm is something that Ye Zhao has never seen before, and belongs to the other side of Sakai Izumi outside the camera.

After being watched like this, even though he lived in his twenties in his previous life, Ye Zhao was still a little embarrassed. When his mind became hot, he said bald: "That, I actually came in because of my BEING's style very free."

"So that's how it is~" Sakai Izumizu dragged her tone and looked disappointed.

"I'm so stupid!" Akio Akishi said disgusted, "The standard answer at this time should be 'Yes, I joined the company because of my admiration for Miss Sakai'. Izumi will definitely be very happy if I say this. Then you can take the opportunity to climb up and get close to her. Maybe she will treat her to midnight snack!"

"It's Mr. Akishi who wants to have late-night snacks, right?" Ye Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth.

I don’t know if Ye Zhao underestimated the friendship between Sakai Izumi and Akishi Masao Akishi, or if Sakai Izumi was not as reserved as the camera showed, Akishi Masao Akishi joked, Sakai Izumi simply joked, "Ye Jun, since Teacher Akishi wants to have midnight snacks, do you also need to do something as an apprentice?"

Ye Zhao knew the intention, cooperated with the appearance of thinking hard, and looked at Sakai Izumizu and said, "I like Sister Izumizu very much... Miss Sakai, I joined the company because of admiration for Miss Sakai."

"Is that so perfunctory, but for your obedience, I'll treat you to a midnight snack." Sakai Izumizu smiled, "Also, don't change your words, I don't hate the title of 'sister'." After that, he went out and told her assistant.

Only Ye Zhao and Akishi Masao were left in the control room. Akishi Masao joked: "I didn't expect that your moral integrity is so fragile, and you will be bribed for a midnight snack."

"Who am I doing for?" Ye Zhao rolled his eyes and sat back on the chair, too lazy to pay attention to this inappropriate old man.

Sakai Izumi Misin came to the recording studio in the middle of the night, not to chat with Akishi Masao and Ye Zhao. Just when she was going to ask her assistant, the studio staff came to remind her that the studio was ready to be debugged. Sakai Izumi Misin said hello to the two of them and went to the recording studio that was exclusive to her.

About ten minutes later, Sakai Izumizu's assistant, a baby-faced girl in her early twenties, entered the control room with a plastic bag in her hands. "Teacher Akishi, Miss Izumi asked me to send me an afternoon snack." She put down the plastic bag and retreated.

The midnight snack is made of Kanto and Japanese fried dumplings, and it is also served with a cup of iced coffee. When Ye Zhao learned that Sakai Izumizu not only invited him and Akio Akio, but also invited all the studio staff to have midnight snacks at one time, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart: It's worthy of being Sister Izumizu, and it's true that it's full of affinity.

On this day, Ye Zhao did not see Sakai Izumi again. After having lunch, he entered the recording studio for the second time with his summary experience. This time, the recording lasted for two hours. After Masao Akishi called for a stop, Ye Zhao yawned and rubbed his sour eyes to the lounge. He sniffed on the lounge until six o'clock in the morning on the recliner, and then dragged his tired body away from the recording studio.

Two days later, the second recording began, and this time three audio speakers were added...

At the end of the fourth recording, the recording of the two songs came to an end...

After the recording is completed, all the tracks are sent to the mixing machine room. The mixer combines the fragmented audio together and adds compression, balance, distortion, reverb and other effects, and finally presents a complete and three-dimensional finished product.

When the final mastering was completed, it was August 22, and there was still no more or less than half a month before the single release date of September 7th booked by BEING.

And Ye Zhaoxin's TIE-UP finally decided.
Chapter completed!
