Chapter 127 Album Recording (Please subscribe! Please vote!)
After deciding to use the song "Letter~To the 15-year-old You~" as the title song in the new album, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has basically completed the preliminary work for the new album.

For this solo album, according to the music director Yuichi Yamada, the whole album should preferably have twelve songs, and it includes two solo singles since Kiyoshi Sakamoto debuted, "Close Your Eyes Lightly" and "I 'm Yours", that is to say, apart from these two songs, there will be ten more songs.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto plans to use the song "Letter~To the 15-year-old You~" as the title song, and "SLOW DOWN", which was forced to create on the spot last year, is also added to the album.

There are eight more.

As for these eight songs, Sakamoto prepared them early in the morning. From his creations over the years, he selected eight songs with better quality and added them to this album.

Although I am quite confident in my creative ability, but since it is my first solo album after all, if I don't come up with some amazing songs, I am afraid that fans and music critics will not accept it.

After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's name is "Heisei's No. [-] Music Talent". Such a name not only allows him to gain more fame and attention, but also makes his every move attract much attention.

Once people see that the quality of his songs is no longer high, and the album sales are no longer scary, at that time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will become the target of public criticism and be abandoned by everyone.

At that time, people will only call him "the number one musical talent in Heisei" who has "exhausted his talents".

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto thinks that in the past few years, it will be safer to use songs that will achieve great success in the future as the title songs of singles or albums; when his status and strength reach unshakable, Even with the songs he created, Sakamoto Kiyoshi believes that if he couldn't make songs that could satisfy fans at that time, then his strong learning ability would be in vain.

This is one of the benefits of predicting the future, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

After Kiyoshi Sakamoto wrote the score of "Letter~To the 15-year-old You~" based on the lyrics and melody in his memory, he took this song and other songs that he planned to put in the album, I went back to the company to find Yamada Yuichi.

Sony Music Division, Office of the Music Director.

"Is this the song you plan to feature in your new album?" Yuichi Yamada sat on a chair, holding the sheet music with lyrics, and after reading it for nearly 10 minutes, he asked this question.

"Well, I think this song is very meaningful and suitable for my first album. I am 15 years old, which is also my current age. It is very interesting, isn't it?" Sakamoto Kiyomasa sat across from Yamada, seriously looked at him and replied.

"Yeah, it's topical, and the quality of the songs is also very high. The main thing is the overall style of this album. What do you plan to do? Is it popular?" Yamada put the sheet music in his hand on the table, asked with a puzzled expression.

"Well, it's mainly in the popular POP style, with a few other styles of songs. Look, these are the songs I selected to put in the album, a total of eleven songs." Kiyoshi Sakamoto said As he spoke, he took out a stack of sheet music from his backpack and handed it to Yamada.

"These are already complete songs. If there is anything that needs to be changed, please tell me. I will try my best to see if I can change them. Of course, it is best not to change them, haha." Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little displeased. I'm too used to it, talking about the album with director Yamada so seriously, so I made a small joke.

As the discoverer of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Yuichi Yamada is also the boss of Sony's music department. Kiyoshi Sakamoto respects him very much, and he has a very good relationship with him since he joined Sony.

Moreover, Yuichi Yamada also appreciates the musical talent of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a genius, and takes good care of him everywhere.

After the two got acquainted, Kiyoshi Sakamoto spoke more casually in front of him.

Yamada is also happy to see Kiyoshi Sakamoto getting close to him. After all, this young man is also Naoki Kitagawa's favorite person, and Sony's most promising newcomer. Coupled with his polite and lovable personality, Yamada The relationship with Sakamoto Kiyoshi is getting stronger day by day.

Seeing the funny Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Yamada also took the score with a smile, and while looking at the song in his hand, he joked, "It's not necessarily true, maybe they all failed."

"Then I can't help it. Anyway, I'm just a newcomer, so you can do whatever you want..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto said indifferently with an American shrug.

Hearing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's indifferent look, Yamada laughed and scolded.

"Rookie? Are you still a rookie? Are you kidding me? How can there be a rookie like you who has all over one million singles and won the record award in the first year of debut?"

After scolding, Yamada deliberately put on an expression of "you're kidding me", which made Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, Yamada-san, you are very talented in acting. Have you ever thought about debuting as an actor?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi continued to tease.

In the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was shy, was overwhelmed by Yamada's complaints.

"You'd better perform your own play first, you rookie actor."

"...You are amazing." Sakamoto, who was complained about, could only obediently admit defeat.

Ten minutes later, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto held the phone and chatted with Gakki with more than 10 text messages, Yamada finally finished watching the song that Kiyoshi Sakamoto brought over.

"Well, the overall quality is very good, and the style is also based on popular POP, not too abrupt. OK, let's start recording tomorrow." Yamada put down the score, pondered for a while, and said to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Eh? Is it just like this?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little surprised, so he just let Yamada briefly read it, and it was all right?Such a joke?
As if knowing what Kiyoshi Sakamoto was thinking, Yamada straightened his face and said with a serious expression, "Don't think this is a joke, it's because it's just you."

"Uh? What do you mean?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't quite understand what Yamada said.

"Because it's you, Kiyoshi Sakamoto. We believe in your talent, so we put aside the songs that took so much time to collect; it's also because we believe in you that we let me simply take a look at the songs you created, and pass Yes; because it is you, you are our most promising singer at Sony. That’s why you will continue to release new singles and albums.”

"The premise of all this is that we treat you like this because we regard you as the pillar of Sony Music's future. Therefore, you have to take seriously the resources that the company has won for you every time, understand?"

When Sakamoto Kiyoshi heard Yamada say these words, his body was already sitting upright, his eyes became very serious, and his expression did not appear to be sloppy.

"Understood, I am very grateful to Yamada-san and the company for their support and care. I will do my best and will never disappoint your expectations." After Yamada finished speaking, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also stood up immediately, He bowed to Yamada.

"Well, that's good." Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto who bowed at ninety degrees, Yamada also nodded secretly.

After all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's attitude is still very good, and he is not arrogant about his talents. This also makes Yamada Yuichi, who brought him into Sony with one hand, very gratified.

"Then start recording the album tomorrow, is there any problem?"

"no!"

. . . . . .

In the two weeks after July [-]th, Sakamoto Kiyoshi spent almost every day in the recording studio of the Sony Building.

Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto's solo debut album was originally scheduled to be released in mid-August, there is still plenty of time.

However, at the end of July and the first ten days of August, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still has two important music events to attend.

That is Asia's largest outdoor music festival, Fuji Rock Music Festival, and RB's rare large-scale urban rock music festival, Summer Sonic.

These two very famous music festivals in Asia sent invitations to Sony as early as a week ago, and they invited THE SUN!

Being invited by the two most famous music festivals in Japan shows that THE SUN, a new generation rock band, has entered the public's attention.

But in order to perfectly present all the passion of THE SUN in these two major music events, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can only complete the recording of his solo album as soon as possible, and then enter the band practice mode.

After all, the life of rock and roll is live, and the perfect live can only be achieved through a lot of practice.

In terms of music, after more than a year of study and training, Sakamoto Kiyozai has mastered the way of perfectly expressing his emotions through singing.

So, in just two weeks, with full concentration, Kiyoshi Sakamoto recorded all ten songs of the album!

There are only two songs left, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not very satisfied with the recorded effect.

One is the title song "Letter~To the 15-year-old You~", and the other is "SLOW DOWN".

No matter how dissatisfied with the recording effect of these two songs, I can't continue recording, because the Fuji Rock Music Festival is just around the corner.

The time of Fuji Rock Music Festival has been set, from July 29th to 31st!
The time left for THE SUN to practice is less than four days!

Fortunately, THE SUN only needs to practice two songs, "Flower" and "Planet".

July 25st.

The band THE SUN practiced together for the first time after a few months.

Practice time: ten hours.

July 26st.

The second joint practice.

Practice time: eleven hours.

July 27st.

Yamada tells Sakamoto Kiyoshi good news.

Starting from the Fuji Rock Music Festival, TBS will send a filming team to follow him for a long time to record the details of his work, the joys and sorrows in his life, and then these clips will be broadcast on a TBS program.

And the name of that program is called "The Continent of Passion".

July 28st.

Because the next day is the rock festival, so TH SUN didn't practice for too long, so he went back to recharge his batteries and prepare for tomorrow's performance.

Ten p.m.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi slept on the bed, looking at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

"Is it tomorrow?"
