NOVEL NEXT Chapter 100
Chapter 100: I’ll Sing A Little Bit
After deciding on the supervisor and the person in charge of the script for “Light Sound Girl”, Makoto Takagi considered the seiyuu candidates for the three animations.
“Shakugan Shana”, the heroine’s voice actor is very important. Without the voice of Nagiya, the entire animation will lose the soul, but the plot is still second.
The seiyuu of “Light Tone Girl” is not so particular, but at least two people must be able to sing, and they must be able to show the cuteness of the characters through their voices.
For the three female characters in “Unheard Flower Name”, the seiyuu must also be able to sing, because the ending song is sung by the three voice actors, and the reason why “Unheard Flower Name” is enough tear-gas, the ending song occupies a very big credit.
In short, you have to find a voice actor with a special voice and a voice actor who can sing.
Not all voice actors can sing. Fortunately, it is now in 2009. Although the idolization of voice actors has not reached the highest point, it is already a relatively common phenomenon. At this point in time, it is not difficult to find a few voice actors who can sing well. .
That being said, it is not possible to find a very suitable one all at once, so for several days, Takagi Makoto has been learning about the voice actors and seeing which voice actors to look for.
When he knew about it, he made a list, went to the sound supervisor of the animation, discussed it, and sent out audition invitations one by one.
A few days later, a certain music was recorded at the scene.
“Teacher Takagi, please take care of me.” The three female voice actors bowed to Makoto Takagi at the same time.
These three are the voice actors of the three female characters in “Unheard Flower Name”, one is Aikawa Megumi, one is Nakazawa Rika, and the other is Yano Haruka.
The three are not well-known, it can even be said that they have just made their debut for two years, but the voices of the three are more in line with the characters in Takagi Makoto’s view, and it is said that there is no problem in singing.
Call here first and record ed.
After all, I am not very familiar with these three people, so Takagi Makoto didn’t bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: “Please take care of me.”
He bowed casually to the three of them, and then he said: “Today, I will get acquainted with it first. I don’t expect to be able to do it all at once, but try to record the song as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” The three replied in unison.
After saying hello, the next step is to guide the three of them to record songs.
Of course, it is not only Makoto Takagi who is instructing, but there is also a person in charge of music recording. Makoto Takagi is only instructing as a songwriter and composer.
In fact, the original version of “Unheard Flower Names”, ed is only a cover, the original song is the women’s band ZONE, is a song published in 2001.
This song is very powerful. It once soared to the second place on the island nation’s public trust chart. It was twice on the stage of the Red and White Song Society. It was the ending or theme song of several animations and TV series.
The song has been released for ten years, and the total sales have exceeded 900,000. The single ranked second on the Oricon public trust chart. This group also won the Neon Cable Award and the ALLJAPAN On-demand Award for the best newcomer in two major music awards.
However, in 11 years, the orchestra had long been disbanded, because of the momentum created by the ending song of “Unheard Flower Name” and the lyrics “I believe I will meet again in August 10 years from now.” , Only got together again in August of 2011 and held a limited resurrection live.
Nowadays, the world where Takagi Makoto lives is naturally without the original song, so it is not easy to instruct the three voice actors to record a good song.
Most of the time has passed without much progress.
It can only be said that it is not a professional singer, but an amateur singer whose main business is a voice actress. It is really not that easy to record a song.
The most difficult part is actually not the melody, lyrics and rhythm, but the emotions. You have to inject emotions into the songs to move people. When voice actors are dubbing animated characters, there is no problem in grasping emotions. It may not be necessary when recording songs. At least it was a bit difficult for the three voice actors on the scene.
After all, there is no original song as a reference, so it is understandable.
Seeing that everyone was tired, he simply suggested to the person in charge of music recording: “Let’s take a break.”
“Okay.” The person in charge nodded, and then went to greet the three voice actors to rest.
Makoto Takagi glanced at the three voice actors and wanted to say something, but still held back.
He shook his head slightly, said to the people around him, and went to buy a drink.
…
“Teacher Takagi, so strict.”
“It’s a bit strict, but this song is really great.”
“Probably a lot of his work has been devoted to this song.”
“That’s what I said, but he still feels a little embarrassed for us.”
“Oh, no way, this is our job.”
“Actually, I heard that Teacher Takagi is very good, but it’s a pity that he can’t sing, otherwise we can understand our difficulties.”
The three voice actors sat side by side, chatting quietly.
As they were talking, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and the three of them turned their heads and found that it was Makoto Takagi.
“Teacher Takagi!”
The three of them were shocked, and felt the same guilty conscience as being found out after doing bad things.
Takagi Makoto carried a small bag in his hand and spread it out in front of the three voice actors: “The three of you, do you have any water?”
“Ah, why is that so embarrassing?”
“Nothing to be embarrassed, just go out for a walk and bought it by the way.”
“Then…Thank you Teacher Gao Mu, then.”
The three of them thanked Takagi Makoto, each picked up a bottle of water, and then stood up and bowed to Takagi Makoto.
Takagi Makoto put the bag on the side seat, picked a bottle of water, took a sip, and then said, “I heard it.”
“???”
The three of them were dumbfounded.
“I heard what you said just now.” Takagi Makoto said again.
The three voice actors were all a little embarrassed at once, and wanted to say “I’m sorry”, but Makoto Takagi raised his hand to stop them.
Takagi Makoto didn’t mean to blame the three.
He calmly said: “I can actually sing a little bit. I’ll sing it to you first, so I might improve my efficiency a little bit.”
“what!”
All three were a little surprised.
Aikawa Megumi, who dubbed the heroine, even couldn’t help asking: “Takagi-sensei, do you really know how to sing?”
“Of course it is not comparable to a professional singer, but I have learned a little vocal music anyway, and I have sung the song “Secretbase~All You Give Me” many times, so there should be no problem.” Takagi is very calm. Replied indifferently.
The three voice actors looked at each other and didn’t know what to say for a while.
Takagi Makoto didn’t explain much, lifted the bag, and said to the three of them: “If you have enough rest, then continue recording.”
“good.”
The three of them all responded and got up one after another, preparing to continue recording.
