Chapter 426: Jealousy
"Jealous" was released in August 2014. It is a song independently written, composed and sung by Japanese singer Yu Takahashi. It is included in his album "Now, Now and Now", which was also broadcast in the same year. The ending theme of the popular Japanese drama "Midnight Diner 8".

Regarding that TV series, Kitagawa Che was not deeply impressed, after all, he was still in high school at that time.

To put it mildly, he was like most high school students at that time. He was focused on his studies and was not interested in TV dramas and the like.

And if I put it more bluntly, it would make the listener sad and the listener cry.

To put it bluntly, at that time, he was not able to cope with the high school homework with ease. To put it more bluntly, he was the kind of person who was ravaged by one-sided academic work and was whipped to death.When you open your eyes every day, you are studying, and when you close your eyes, you are already sleepy. Most of your weekends are spent catching up on sleep. Under such circumstances, how can you have so much time to watch TV series?

However, thanks to the rise of the Internet and short videos, he is not completely ignorant of "Midnight Diner", and has a deep impression of Yu Takahashi's Jealousy.

The man holding the guitar and playing and singing softly made a deep impression on him.

You can return to the original question.

A deep impression is a deep impression. If you want to sing Yu Takahashi's song well, preparation and mental adjustment are indispensable.

It was just like the emotion he felt when he finished listening to the last verse of "Jealous".

People you fall in love with when you are young will be remembered for a lifetime. It is precisely because it is the first time for each other to fall in love, so they do not understand many things and can easily hurt each other, but because of this, they will be remembered for a lifetime because of their youthfulness.

Regret is always hard to let go, isn't it?

So, maybe I don’t know what kind of state of mind I will feel when I sing this song again.

Ah.

In the recording room, Kitagawa Che, who was sitting on a high chair, chuckled, temporarily put these thoughts behind him, closed his eyes, and regained his composure.

Beside him, Yukisa Morishima also closed her eyes and slowly regained her senses.

She didn't know if it was her imagination.

Anyway, when she stayed by A Che's side, her progress in finding feelings was much faster than usual, and she could easily get into the emotions in the music.

As for the only shortcoming, it is probably that she can only enter the mood of the song, and cannot consciously construct the story of the song itself like A Che, and then use his highly recognizable voice to sing it. People are pulled into his world "barbarically".

"Ah Che, Ah Che..."

Sitting in front of the radio equipment, holding the music score and lyrics in his left hand, and picking up the headset in his right hand, Nobuhiko Okayama's face showed some indescribable complexity.

Theoretically speaking, he has been dealing with Kitagawa Che for quite some time and has great trust in his talent and ability. However, when he saw the music score and lyrics of this new song with his own eyes, his mood was inevitably complicated. got up.

Yes, compared to the first song "First Love", "ヤキモチ(jealous)" is not that good, but it is not too different. If I had to say it, one is A+ and the other is average A. But the question is, which singer How can you ensure that every song you sing reaches A level? This level?

All joking aside, if he had had Kitagawa Che's creative ability back then, he wouldn't have quit the music scene in such a hurry.

He would be unreasonable and dominate the music scene for two or three years, and then arrogantly announce his withdrawal. He also said that his withdrawal was not because of anything else, but just because of his dissatisfaction with the music scene environment at that time.

But he also knew that this could only be his own delusion.

He doesn't have the ability like Kitagawa Che, and it's impossible to start his life over again.

"So, are you the devil of the music industry in the next 20 years?"

Muttering to himself, Nobuhiko Okayama shook his head, put on his headphones, and waited silently for Kitagawa Cheru and Morishima Yukisa to take their places.

Soon, Kitagawa Che opened his eyes and silently waited for Morishima Yukisa next to him to take his place.

After the music level gradually reached the middle and lower stage of lv.8, he became more and more comfortable in this aspect, and there was an obvious feeling of enlightenment.

About 2 minutes later, Yukisha Morishima also opened her eyes.

"I'm OK here~"

She turned her head and looked at Beichuan Che beside her, giving him a 'ready to start at any time' look.

"Ok."

Kitagawa Teru nodded, held the microphone, and was about to say something to Nobuhiko Okayama on the other side of the studio to start, when the accompaniment sounded one step ahead of time.

"All right……"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Nobuhiko Okayama sitting inside through the soundproof glass.

The latter smiled slightly at first, and then raised his eyebrows, indicating that he should concentrate on recording the song.

Looking back, Kitagawa Che nodded, silently took the microphone, sat casually on a stool, and then sang softly as if narrating.

君が前にFUき合っていた人のこと (When you tell things about people you dated in the past)
PUに打ち明けてくれたとき (When you confess to me)
So Nao Naru (I didn’t listen candidly)

In the recording room, Nobuhiko Okayama's eyes widened subconsciously, and his left hand unconsciously put on the radio earphones.

Whether a song is good or not, for laymen, the first impression comes from the melody of the intro, and then the lyrics. The more the lyrics meet the two prerequisites of simplicity and sincerity, the more effective they will be. Go into the streets.

It sounds simple, but to do it, it can only be said to be extremely difficult.

He himself also called himself a singer-songwriter at the beginning, and he did write many good songs. In terms of aesthetics, he must be confident. However, after reading the lyrics just now, and now hearing Kitagawa Chezhen singing with his own ears, They are two completely opposite concepts.

This……

Okayama Nobuhiko's Adam's apple moved and he swallowed.

He instinctively wanted to say something, but in the end, the thousands of words turned into wordless emotion and he swallowed it down his throat.

With just these first few sentences, he was able to conclude that this song would undoubtedly be in the top five of the hot song list, even if it were to change its name and not release it under Jay's name, it would still be the same.

The quality of the songs and the singing skills of the singers are here. With the combination of powerful forces, even the most layman can tell the difference between good and bad.

However, this song is not a solo by Kitagawa Che, but a duet.

How far this song can go depends on Morishima Yukisa's performance.

just.

Nobuhiko Okayama moved his gaze, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Objectively speaking, Morishima Yukisa's singing skills are not bad, and can even be considered good. It is perfectly fine for her to debut as a new singer, but she is afraid of comparison in everything, especially when it comes to her 'partners' and ' This is especially true when men and women sing duets with keywords like ''.

This time last year, he was already a little worried in his heart.

Judging from the information that Kitagawa Che revealed when talking to him, this boy is a serious man who chases and feeds food into his mouth. He is extremely talented, and he learns quickly. His own conditions are good and visible to the naked eye. It won't take long for him to reach a very exaggerated level.At that time, Morishima Yukisha's singing skills will be left behind.

When the two are soloing, the difference is not big, but once they start singing chorus songs, the difference starts to become obvious.

In fact, just as he expected, in October last year, Kitagawa Teru's singing skills completed a transformation, completely catching up with, or better than, Morishima Yukisa.

As for now, judging from the ease with which Kitagawa Che showed his singing voice, transposition, and breath opening and closing the last time he came to record the Chinese song, he has already reached the level of the younger generation of singers, and even the middle-aged generation. The singer is at his peak.

With such a difference in level, it would be difficult for Morishima Yukisa to keep up with Kitagawa Teru's pace.

Of course, Nobuhiko Okayama does not deny Morishima Yukisa's talent. He is even more clear that Morishima Yukisa's main business is piano and her level is among the top of the younger generation. However, the problem is that fans do not know this.

In other words, they will use Kitagawa Che as a standard to ask for Morishima Yukisa.

But what if.

Maybe Renmorishima Yukisa has made an eye-catching breakthrough during this time?
Thinking of this, Nobuhiko Okayama frowned unconsciously, lowered his eyebrows silently, looked at the lyrics sheet in his hand, listened to Kitagawa Che's voice in the headphones, and waited nervously.

If, he means if.

If Morishima Yukisa's level is too different from Che's next, after recording the chorus version, he will talk to Kitagawa Che alone and suggest that the latter record a solo version.

In the recording room, Kitagawa Teru sang this song "Jealous" (Jealous) whose melody he was quite familiar with with a relaxed expression.

In fact, every time like this, he had an indescribable feeling.

If at the beginning, his purpose of bringing over excellent works from that world was just to make money, then with the gradual improvement of economic conditions and the improvement of music level, his ideas have changed subtly.

In fact, he is not averse to singing, and even enjoys this 'narrative' feeling.

It's just that Kitagawa Che himself doesn't know that his 'enjoyment' is indescribably natural and unrestrained in the eyes and ears of most people.

In other words, it will give people the feeling that 'this person is born to belong to the stage'.

The singing progressed and the emotions filled the air, and the male voice part of the first section quietly came to the end.

As the last line of the boys' part was sung, Kitagawa Che put down the microphone, turned his head and looked at Yukisa Morishima next to him.

When their eyes met, he gave her an encouraging look.

As a partner, he was actually very aware of her sometimes emotional changes, but she was a strong person and didn't want to talk about it, so he could only pretend not to know.

'Thank you~'

Yukisha Morishima winked playfully, and instead of taking off the microphone directly like him, she leaned forward and naturally connected to the lyrics she was supposed to sing.

すぐにヤキモチ焼くとこも（“I also like what you like to be jealous about”)
好きだよってからかって（Facing such a smile and teasing me）
笑う君に干えていた (I must have acted coquettishly towards you inadvertently)

While singing, Yukisha Morishima unconsciously showed a smile, and the tension she felt before the accompaniment started disappearing.

In Kitagawa Che's singing, she saw a boy who fell in love for the first time. When facing the person he liked, he wanted to be nice to the other person, but didn't know where to start, so he could only treat the other person awkwardly. An image of a hug.

Falling in love for the first time is always awkward. You want to express your emotions, but there is no reasonable way, so these emotions called jealousy turn into hurtful sarcastic remarks.

Although the girl was a little sad, she could tell that the boy was jealous, so she showed her gentle side.

As a result, the warmth melted the coldness, and sincerity and tenderness merged into a surefire way to reach people's hearts.

Maybe it's because she put herself into it, or maybe she empathized with her for some other reasons. In short, she integrated herself into the mood of the song, and her singing skills also quietly passed through it unknowingly. That hurdle.

The mountains are high and the sea is vast, it’s nothing more than this.

"..."

Nobuhiko Okayama listened to the female voice in the headphones and fell silent unconsciously.

The current situation has exceeded his expectations, and even faced his initial self-relief that the probability was not very high.

Yukisa Renmorijima did it!

And it did much better than he imagined, to the point where it was almost exaggerated.

The most important thing is that she looked at him just now.

That look is so sweet that it’s almost hairy!
Let's just put it that way.

If this scene had been at a concert, a public live broadcast, or a broadcast stage, this look at each other would have been recorded in history.

In the words of today’s young people

——This doesn’t look like an act. I suggest you check carefully to see if they are a real couple.

But unfortunately, only he saw this scene.

The result was also obvious. He was like a passerby walking on the roadside, and then he was stuffed with dog food inexplicably, and he had to put on a forced smile.

Uncomfortable.jpg
But complaining is complaining, in fact, he is quite happy.

Morishima Yukisa's singing skills really gave him a big surprise.

Although there is still a gap between Kitagawa Che, but at least this gap will not be so obvious in the chorus, and it has reached the lowest standard line.

And this is enough.

As for other things, what else do I need for a bicycle?

A person's main job is not a singer, but a pianist. It is already very rare to be able to sing to this extent. How much more demanding is it?He believed that he could not make such excessive demands.

As for the fans?

He could only say that when Jay and Yuki stand in front of the camera one day, and Yuki inadvertently shows off his proficiency at the piano, all problems will be solved.
