Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 409 Worth the Expectation (4000 words)
The so-called fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders, the first time the song "Forever Together" was written.

Naturally, Higashino Division's first thought was that he had become the queen voice actress of Higashino Studio, Hasegawa Riko.

Yes.

Riko Hasegawa is already half of Higashino's employees.

Her main job now is to run the sukiyaki shop at home, provide her sister with reading, and come to Higashino Studio to be in charge of dubbing.

Basically, the main thing is that her voice is suitable, and Higashinoji will use her as the voice actor of the main character (that is, the protagonist).

For example, Sansumi Mikoto and Dai Machiko. These characters all fit her voice quite well.

In addition, Riko Hasegawa's dubbing skills are also very skilled.

Most of the dubbing can be passed in one pass, and many people give favorable comments
Naturally, Higashino asked her to help with dubbing.

Apart from Hasegawa Riko's dubbing skills, her own singing level is actually not low.

Higashino Division has also heard her sing the female version of "Lemon", which is indeed not bad.

The voice is clear, and there is an indescribable sense of distantness, which also reveals a sense of gentleness unique to women.

It really felt like giving her a try on the "Forever With" recording.

Thinking of this, Higashino Division didn't hesitate too much, and simply called Hasegawa Riko to come over to record.

""Forever Together"?"

Riko Hasegawa, who was stuffed with a numbered notation by Higashino Division when she first came to the recording studio, was a little confused.

She was already a little confused when she heard on the phone that Higashino Division needed her help with recording work.

Of course, Riko Hasegawa had heard about "Spirited Away".

But as far as she knows, Chihiro, the heroine of Higashinoji's new novel, is a ten-year-old girl.

Her Hasegawa Riko's voice is relatively mature.

Even if she could use a false voice, it would still be a bit unnatural.

She was puzzled.

But since it was Dong Yesi's request, she still came.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked over, Dong Yesi slapped a numbered musical notation on her hand, looking forward to it.

"That's right, the main reason for calling Lizi over this time is to ask you to help record this song."

Higashino Division nodded and continued, "See if you can sing."

"Uh, is it the song written by Mr. Higashino?"

Riko Hasegawa answered a sentence while opening the numbered notation.

"Yeah." Higashinosi nodded simply.

There is no Mr. Gong, nor Kimura Yumi in this world.

There's no need for him to say something like 'it was written by a friend' in a hypocritical manner.

There are two musical notations of "Together Forever".

Riko Hasegawa was able to sing softly after just looking at it twice: "Calling to a certain depth of the soul, I always want to have an exciting dream."

Although she just sang a simple cappella, the simple and melodious tunes still flowed out like clear water.

And when Riko Hasegawa spoke, Yano Ryuichi who was staying beside him couldn't help sighing: "That's a really good song."

No. Not just singing well.

The song is also well written.

Yano Ryuichi sighed, and also looked at Higashinoji who smiled and silently applauded Hasegawa Riko.

Should it be said that Higashino is worthy of being a genius?How did this brain grow?

Originally, Yano Ryuichi was still worrying about the theme song of "Spirited Away".

To this end, he also made a special trip to find a few musicians he knew who could write songs and compose music.

But he didn't expect that when he turned around, Dong Yesi had already arranged things properly.

Yano Ryuichi just slapped his head - Higashinoji hasn't written much music and lyrics for nearly half a year, he almost forgot that Higashinoji still has this skill!

And the level of the song written here.
Doesn't it fit too well with the animated movie "Spirited Away"?

Yano Ryuichi seemed to be able to see the strange world of gods through Hasegawa Riko's distant voice.

He even wondered if Higashino Division wrote the song first, and then wrote the script of "Spirited Away".

Also Higashino Division didn't know what Yano Ryuichi was thinking.

If he knew what the other party was thinking, Dong Yesi would probably just smile in the end.

Just kidding.

At the beginning, Hayao Miyazaki originally wanted to use the song of the famous Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi as the theme song of "Spirited Away".

But after hearing Kimura Yumi's song, he immediately decided to change the song.

This is a song appointed by the original author, and of course it fits the animation "Spirited Away".

"Teacher Higashino, I think Ms. Hasegawa is fine."

Riko Hasegawa was still singing a cappella softly, and Ryuichi Yano here took the initiative to say hello to Tsukasa Higashino.

He felt that it would be no problem for Riko Hasegawa to record this song, because this song was really suitable for the other party.

"I don't think there's much of a problem either." Higashinosi nodded in agreement.

Riko Hasegawa really has no problem singing this song.

It's really nice to hear, very similar to the feeling that Kimura Yumi sang back then, probably seven or eight points similar.

However, it is already very good to have seven or eight similarities.

After all, Riko Hasegawa is a voice actor, which is different from a professional singer like Yumi Kimura.

It is already very good that she has a seventy-eight percent similarity in singing.

In addition, Kimura Yumi, the singer of the theme song of "Spirited Away", is still quite regrettable
She suffered a spinal injury when she was young, and when she sang this song in her 70s, her intonation and breathlessness affected her feeling.

To be honest, if it is possible, Higashinoji also wants to find a person in this world who has not injured his spine and can sing this song instead of Yumi Kimura.
but
Still can't find it.

No one he knew was good enough.

That kind of hard-powered female singer at the grandma level. He is really not very familiar with it.

Higashinoji shook his head, and turned to look at Riko Hasegawa who seemed to be in a daze after putting down the numbered notation.

She didn't know what she was thinking, and her slender eyebrows were a little frowned.

"Lizi, how do you feel?"

Dong Yesi walked over to say hello.

"Oh. That song is so well written. I like it very much."

Hasegawa Riko came back to her senses, and said to Higashino Division with a smile.

"How about I hope you can sing this song, Lizi? No problem?"

Higashino asked.

Although he knew that Riko Hasegawa would agree without saying a word, he still had to ask.

This is not just a process, the key is respect for Riko Hasegawa.

And this is also the most important reason why Riko Hasegawa is willing to cooperate with Higashino Division for a long time.

Things are a little different today.

Hasegawa Liko frowned after hearing this, not only did not immediately agree, but shook her head slightly.

This move surprised Higashinoji a little.

You must know that it was just for Riko Hasegawa to simply record a song, and it was also very helpful for her to become famous. The song "Forever Together" is a golden song in the minds of many people.

It was such a precious opportunity, and the other party turned it down just like that?
It's unnatural no matter how you think about it, right?

Fortunately, at this time, Riko Hasegawa took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Higashino, when I was singing just now, I already felt that this song is not suitable for me."

"." Higashino Division.

Higashino Division did not refute Hasegawa Riko's words.

He also vaguely noticed it.

Riko Hasegawa sang this song without the natural feeling of Yumi Kimura in her previous life.

As I said before, Higashino felt that Liko Hasegawa sang this song, and it was only seven or eight points similar to Yumi Kimura.
'Similar', this word is very intriguing.

What I can know is that Riko Hasegawa is actually far behind in all aspects.
But to be honest, Higashino couldn't find anyone else either.

He knew quite a few of the female singers in the Red and White Song Battle, but if he insisted on a particularly good relationship, he probably only had Saito Kotori.

But the other party is an idol.

The songs she sang are also soft and cute songs.

No matter what she thinks, a song like "Being With You" with a melodious feeling that seems to penetrate into the soul is not suitable for her.

That is a heavy feeling from the soul.

Only old singers who have really gone through ups and downs and accumulated over the years can sing the feeling of Kimura Yumi.

Therefore, Riko Hasegawa is the best candidate Higashino can find at present.

Just as Higashino Division thought so.

Yano Ryuichi next to him looked at Riko Hasegawa in confusion.

He doesn't understand music, and he doesn't understand what's not suitable.

He also listened to it just now.

I feel that Riko Hasegawa sang very well, very nice to hear.

That's enough!
Besides, didn't Dong Yeji not speak?He was applauding just now.It shouldn't be a big problem for Riko Hasegawa to sing this song.

"Ms. Hasegawa is not confident in her own voice?"

Yano Ryuichi asked a question, but quickly added: "No problem, Ms. Hasegawa, your voice is very nice, you can achieve this quality just by singing a cappella, and with the addition of post-processing, it shouldn't be a big problem. "

That's right.

Have no confidence in yourself?

It's not a big problem.

Sound repairers and tuners are waiting!
At worst, let’s cultivate to the point of perfection.

"This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, Ms. Hasegawa. The song "Forever Together" will be used at the end of "Spirited Away". It is a classic animation movie planned by Mr. Higashino! You sing This song will definitely become a classic in the end!"

Yano Ryuichi tried to convince the other party.

But Riko Hasegawa still shook her head: "Retouching and the things that were tuned in the later stages cannot become classics. I can't ruin Teacher Dongye's hard work."

She actually wanted to sing this song written by Higashino Division.

But when I think about it, this is the first challenge that Higashino Studio has issued to animation films.
She naturally hoped that Higashinoji could do his best.

For this reason, Riko Hasegawa was actually very unwilling.

At this time, I can't help Dong Yesi again!
Hey!
Her voice is just not good, this song may not get too many bad reviews, but on the other hand, the number of good reviews must be only average.

"So I'd better ask Higashino-sensei to think about it carefully."

Riko Hasegawa returned the numbered notation in her hand to Higashinoji.

"Even if you let me think about it"

Higashinoji also understands that Riko Hasegawa made such a choice for the work "Spirited Away".

But even if you let him think about it
"I can't find an acquaintance who is more suitable to sing this song than you, Lizi."

Higashino shook his head amusedly.

Japanese middle-aged and elderly female singers.

And still have a certain foundation.

How do you know this?

Even if they know each other, their styles may not match this song.

How could it be possible to parachute an uninjured, flat world Kimura Komura who is suitable for this song?
He thought so.

As a result, Riko Hasegawa on the other side suddenly spoke again:

"About this point. Actually, Mr. Higashino, I have a little idea. It is suitable for the person who sings this song."

Ok?
Higashino was a little surprised when he heard this.

Riko Hasegawa.
Does this really know Airborne Kimura Yumi?

There is no such thing as a coincidence, is there?

"Actually Miss Mizuguchi"

Riko Hasegawa approached Higashino Division and spoke cautiously.

Miss Mizuguchi?

When hearing this name, Higashino Division also thought for a few seconds before reacting.

Riko Hasegawa should be referring to her friend Koko Mizuguchi.

It was the voice actor who previously competed with Riko Hasegawa for the dubbing opportunity of the heroine of "Midnight Ring".

Somehow later, Shuikou Xiangzi became good friends with her.

Therefore, she also appeared in Higashino Division's "The Winner Is Justice" and "Unnatural Death".

After all, Shuikouxiangzi's dubbing skills are also very good.

but.
If Riko Hasegawa wants to say that she can sing the song "Forever Together"
Higashinoji felt that Riko Hasegawa was joking.

Shuikou Xiangzi is the same age as Lizi, both in their 20s, at most on the same level as her, and maybe even worse than her.

Can she sing this song?

"No. It's not what you think Higashino-sensei. What I'm talking about is not letting Xiangzi come to replace me, but"

Hasegawa Lizi realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly changed her words: "It's her grandma who used to be the very famous Shuikou Xiangli."

In the mouth of water?

The name seems a little familiar.

But after thinking over and over again, Dong Yesi didn't think of who this person was.

It was Yano Ryuichi next to him who realized it, with a surprised expression on his face: "Is it the very famous Mr. Mizuguchi Kori?"

It seems to be aware of Higashino Division's confusion.

Yano Ryuichi added: "Ms. Higashino may not know her age. This Mizuguchi Kaori-sensei was already a famous female singer before I was in elementary school or junior high school. Many of the songs she sang are very flavorful."

As he said that, he sighed again: "But the other party retired a long time ago, and many people will hold her anniversary party."

"Is that right?"

Dong Yesi became interested when he heard it.

Anniversary party.

This shouldn't be possible without a fan base.

Presumably, this Shui Kou Xiang was quite famous back then.

And looking at Lizi Hasegawa's appearance, she should be quite familiar with this Mizukou Xiangli.

Should have met.

Maybe Hasegawa Liko also heard the other party sing
if so.
Then Higashino Division had some expectations.

Could it be possible to find another Kimura-type female singer from this world?
