202. Lv4 singing skills.
Roppongi.
Dai Qiuhui stopped the car and took Mogami and Kazuto into a certain building. The appearance of the building was not very gorgeous. On the contrary, it could be said to be a bit old. Many recording studios were set up in such places, so it was not considered a building.
rare.
Take the elevator and come to the recording studio.
Dai Qiue took Mogami Kazuto directly into a studio-like place and introduced Mr. Watanabe, the sound supervisor, to Mogami Kazuto.
In addition to Mr. Watanabe, the sound supervisor, Mr. Inagaki, the producer, and Mr. Yoshinari, the animation supervisor, are all in this room.
Mogami Kazuto greeted these people in turn. Although as a singer, Mogami Kazuto was still a complete newcomer.
But he used to work as a game screenwriter, and he had heard their names more or less, but only by their names, and had never interacted with them.
The person who favors Mogami Kazuto is the sound supervisor standing over there, Mr. Watanabe.
For this audition opportunity, Mr. Watanabe specifically contacted King Records. Originally, this kind of thing should be handled by the brokerage company. Some relatively big-name artists will also consider various factors such as schedule and talent selection.
Mogami Kazuto was still a newbie in the industry, so the company made all the decisions.
Moreover, Mogami Kazuto has no reason to refuse to work. Since he has chosen to become a singer, he will naturally put in corresponding efforts where his efforts should be made.
"Totsuka-san, are you right? You're younger than I thought."
"Thank you very much for Mr. Watanabe's compliment this time." Mogami Kazuto nodded slightly.
"This matter has not been finalized yet. It depends on the decision of the supervisor and investors. We may choose a few songs later and let Totsuka-san record them. It shouldn't matter, right?"
"Yes, it's okay."
After that, Mogami Kazuto was briefly explained what kind of work this was. Of course, because it was an original work, it was obviously impossible for Mogami Kazuto to know the specific plot before it was broadcast.
As for the recent supernatural original works, the later stages of the story always have trouble with things like human nature, blackness, and the deep end of the world. Kazuto Mogami is considered a creator after all, and he has a natural resonance with such things.
There were three songs in total that Mogami Kazuto was asked to record. Mr. Watanabe specifically asked Mogami Kazuto if he had heard these three songs. Mogami Kazuto's response was to honestly shake his head.
Therefore, while the staff was preparing, Mogami Kazuto was listening to the original song with headphones, which made Dai Qiue on the side very worried.
But Mogami Kazuto behaved very calmly, like a hundred-year-old vampire living in a dark castle and embracing each other calmly with red wine and bread.
A few minutes later, Mogami Kazuto took off his headphones and said to Dai Qiue: "Miss Dai, can we start?"
"Eh? Are you ready?"
"yes."
Dai Qiue looked at Mogami Kazuto with some surprise. Seeing that Mogami Kazuto looked calm and confident, she suppressed her worries and conveyed the news to the staff.
So, Mogami Kazuto walked into the recording room.
In the recording room, Mogami and Kazuto were standing in front of a certain piano in the recording room. A female pianist was sitting there, and the two of them bowed to each other.
Inside the transparent glass on one side is the control room. You can see the faces of Mr. Watanabe and Miss Dai, and Mr. Inagaki and Mr. Yoshinari are also sitting in it.
Mogami Kazuto put on the headphones, took a few deep breaths, puffed up his cheeks to speak, adjusted the condition of his vocal cords, and then made an OK gesture to the control room.
"Please give me more advice."
The sound of the piano gradually began to play, and Mogami Kazuto's expression gradually became serious. This was the first job he received after becoming a singer, and Mogami Kazuto had an attitude of going all out.
So far, Mogami Kazuto has never shown his level 4 singing skills. Even in the song that he appeared with Terashima Aimi, Mogami Kazuto did not show his full strength.
Faced with this unknown job that came to him on his own initiative, Mogami Kazuto could see that only Mr. Watanabe had a favorable impression of him, while the other two seemed to be inclined to use famous singers.
Not optimistic.
Mogami Kazuto felt that this might be an opportunity.
He didn't have lofty dreams like Terajima Aimi, so he just let nature take its course when he debuted, thinking that since he had this ability, there was nothing wrong with it.
And now, the time has come to test his ability.
There is no deliberate display of skills or hidden strength. lv4's solid and gorgeous singing voice is his most powerful weapon.
…
…
In the control room.
Mr. Watanabe was surprised to see Mogami Kazuto singing heartily in the recording room.
When he heard Mogami Kazuto say that he had not listened to those songs, he was actually a little disappointed.
The level Mogami Kazuto has shown so far can indeed be said to be good, comparable to the top singers in the industry today. What he lacks is sufficient exposure and famous songs that can be talked about by the audience.
However, at this moment, when he heard Mogami Kazuto's scene, he realized that he was wrong.
By signing a contract with King Records at this level, it won't be long before his talent is noticed by the public. He has top-notch singing skills and idol-level appearance.
As long as your private life is not too corrupt, becoming famous is basically a sure thing.
Mogami Kazuto in the recording room finished singing a song and was taking a breather to rest.
He set his sights on Mr. Inagaki and Mr. Yoshinari. They also had incredible looks on their faces, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
"Miss Dai, I would like to take the liberty to ask, what is the age of Totsuka-san?"
"Hmm...I remember I was 24 years old."
"It is rare to have such solid singing skills at the age of 24. His singing style reminds me of Mr. Nishikawa when he was young, but his vocal range seems to be wider than Mr. Nishikawa.
However, Mr. Nishikawa probably did not have this level of singing skills when he was this age.
Right? Mr. Yoshinari, Mr. Inagaki."
The other two people didn't know how to make a sound. In terms of music, Mr. Watanabe was much more professional than them.
As the supervisor, Mr. Inagaki considers more whether the singer's voice fits the tone of the entire work and the music that has already been composed.
At present, he thinks that Mogami Kazuto's calm yet explosive voice is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Although Dai Qiuhui is the manager of a record company, she doesn't know much about the professional field, and she can't really feel the difference.
I simply feel that Mogami Kazuto's performance today seemed to be even better.
Mogami Kazuto, who was standing in the recording room, was about to sing the second song after taking a break, but Mr. Watanabe's voice came from the headphones, saying that he didn't need to sing anymore.
Mogami Kazuto was stunned, thinking that he must have made no mistake just now. Did this mean he was voted out?
