Find out the business card that Mitsuchi Iijima gave him when he was in the backstage of MS for the first time, and dialed it in according to the number on it. The waiting time lasted for a long time, and it was finally picked up when Ye Zhao was about to hang up.

"Hello, this is Iijima."

"Hello Iijima San, I'm Ye Zhao. I'm calling Iijima San now, isn't it causing trouble, right?"

After Ye Zhao reported to his house, Mitochi Iijima's voice became more kind, "Ye Zhaosang's phone number will not be troublesome no matter when it comes."

"It's really too polite to say this." Ye Zhao said politely, and without waiting for Mitochi Iijima to ask, he took the initiative to get to the point. "I called Sanshima to tell you that the song for SMAP has been produced. After that, I will send the sample to the record company. Please pay attention to collecting it."

Mito Iijima was a little surprised, "It was done so soon?"

"After all, I promised San Iijima to be ahead, it would be too rude to ask you to wait too long."

Ye Zhao's words made Mitochi Iijima quite soft, "I originally thought that Ye Zhaosang had so much trouble recently, and he would have to wait for a while. Since that's the case, I will look forward to receiving the song."

"If Iijima San feels it is not suitable," Ye Zhao said with a smile, but his tone is very serious, "I accept the return."

Although Johnnys established a huge idol empire, his artists' record contracts have been signed with other record companies outside, such as GENJI signed with Polygain, SMAP signed with VICTOR, and TOKIO signed with Sony. It was not until the eve of Kinki's debut that Kitakawa established an exclusive record company for them, and since then, more and more groups have debuted through Johnnys' own record companies. (Note 1)

The sample Ye Zhao sent to SMAP not only did the arrangement, but also asked the studio's Kawai staff to help sing the parts responsible for each member. It can be said that the completion degree is already quite high. He is very confident in the song "Over the Night Sky" and believes that this song is enough to impress SMAP and Iijima Mito, and the senior executives of the company who decided to release the single.

...

"I'm thinking about you now, I want to tell you by singing."

"How can you be with you on a rainy night and a winter morning?"

"While imagining the happy ending in the movie, there is such a beautiful saying, please listen to it very shortly."

"I love you."

...

From the recording room, Ye Zhao could see the appreciation in Sakai Izumi Seiya sitting in front of the console. Taking off his headphones, Sakai Izumi looked at him, "What a song."

"Thank you, although I'm a little embarrassed." Ye Zhao moved his gaze a little.

"Sorry?" Sakai Izumiya held her cheek with one hand, and she was very interested.

"I just sang 'I love you' so bluntly, and I'm still a little embarrassed." Ye Zhao rubbed his index finger against his cheek. "If I really want to put this song into the album, I'll probably pull up the curtains during the recording."

"My feeling is the opposite," Sakai Izumizumi said. "It's not a very implicit thing for people who are not good at expressing their love through music. Didn't you also write in the lyrics that 'can't express it because of shyness'."

"That's right, but during the official recording, wouldn't the recording artist Sang ask us to sing the same sentence repeatedly? Then we will keep repeating the sentence "I love you and I love you". If we don't pull up the curtains, we will definitely laugh when I look at each other."

Recording songs in the recording studio is by no means a one-time thing you imagine. Due to the special environment in the recording studio, the sound you hear in the monitor headphones is always dry, without reverberation, and no echo. Professional recording and monitoring equipment also allows any tiny flaws from pitch, breath, rhythm, etc. to be revealed.

Therefore, when recording songs in the recording studio, you have to repeatedly craft a certain passage and a certain sentence, and finally send countless scattered tracks to the mixing room to synthesize. A song that is too difficult or a singer is in a bad condition, it is not impossible to sing the same lyrics for three hours. If your psychological quality is poor, you may even have the intention of throwing your headphones away.

Not to mention a music practitioner with an annual salary of one million, he is still a serious singer. He is not an amateur contestant who comes to cross-border tickets. If he has to rely on a music practitioner, he might as well change his career and step down the scene so as not to contribute a car accident that is famous for music history one day, and he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the following years or even decades.

Speaking of this, we need to mention the stage of MUSIC MAIR. The reason why singers are prone to sing in MF is because the stage sound effects of MF are very similar to those of the recording studio, and the shortcomings are infinitely amplified, so there are countless singers who have been involved in a series of car accidents here.

As a veteran singer who has been rooted in the studio for many years, Sakai Izumizu naturally knows this very well. When she heard him say this, she couldn't help but laugh. Then she asked jokingly: "Does Ye Jun have someone you like?"

"What?" Ye Zhao reached out to grab the teacup and slapped.

"It feels like such profound lyrics are difficult to write without such feelings. So I can't help but want to ask." Sakai Izumizu added, "Ye Jun, don't treat me as Obasan who loves gossip."

"There is no such beautiful Obasan in the world." Ye Zhao took a sip of black tea. "If you want to say that there are definitely people you like, but it is impossible to support such profound things by just liking it. If you want to write good lyrics, you must have a little dreaming heart."

"Love dreaming?" Sakai Izumizu felt a little fresh about this statement. After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement. "Actually, when I write the lyrics, I will also make up a 'him' in my mind, treating the lyrics as words for 'him'."

"What does the 'he' look like in Sister Quanshui's heart?" Ye Zhao was a little curious.

"Well," Sakai Izumizu smiled slightly, "Keep it confidential."

...

The song Ye Zhao is singing now, its name is "Singer's Love Song", which is a single released by Saito Kazuyoshi in 1997. As Sakai Izumizu said, this is actually a very implicit love song. A singer who is not good at speaking expresses his love through singing. Although he boldly said "I love you" twice, combined with the lyrics before and after, it gives people a feeling of being brave, nervous but firm.

As a love song, this song is top-notch in terms of lyrics and melody. It is precisely because it touches people's hearts enough that it has been constantly sung as a famous song since its birth.

After sending out the sample "Overseas of the Night Sky", Ye Zhao finally took out a look to prepare his new album. As for the soundtrack of the TV series, because the production cycle is quite abundant, it can be put aside temporarily. When the TV series starts filming and the finished product of the first episode comes out, it will be carried out slowly.

Compared to singles, the production cycle of the album is much longer, and you have to prepare at least half a year in advance. This is still the case when Ye Zhao has plenty of songs. If you want to collect songs like an ordinary singer, the preparation period can be as long as one year or more. Therefore, although song sample starts to be produced in May, even at the fastest time, the time for the album to be officially released has to be in October or November.

Since the album preparation period coincides with the single production period of Sakai Inumizu, he can meet Sakai Inumizu almost every night when he comes to the recording studio.

With the last conversation with her in the recording studio, Ye Zhao was naturally getting along with Sakai Insumi again. Recording is a very boring thing. Even people who love music often feel this way. Therefore, during the recording interval, Ye Zhao and Sakai Insumi occasionally visit each other, listen to the songs they are recording, talk about some irrelevant trivial matters, and relieve the mental tension caused by the recording of excellence.

...

"After that, Sister Quanshui's new song this time is really amazing."

"sharp?"

"Yes, this speech speed really scared me. If it were me, I would definitely bite my tongue." Sakai Izumizu is scheduled to release her new single "Aigao Sutra" in June. The composer and arranger of this song are not the familiar Tetsuro Oda, Seiichiro Kurirabayashi and Masao Akishi, but the guitarist Ozawa Masasuke of the band PAMELAH.

Speaking of Masasuke Ozawa, we have to mention his "Attraction", which was once the top ten goals background music for the "World Football" column of the state-owned Wu Channel. Masasuke Ozawa's name is also known to many Chinese people because of this song.
