This day coincided with the regular BEER party. Compared with the last time, TUBE's Maeda Hirohiro and Haruhata Doya did not come. MANISH's Takahashi Mirei and Nishimoto Mari were all here. B’z two older brothers were busy recording and came to pick up the venue. After drinking a few drinks, they were busy going back to arrange the instruments.

Goodbye to Mire Takahashi, Ye Zhao greeted: "Mire, it's been a long time since we met."

"'Mire'?" Mika Kawashima looked back and forth like a cat that only smelled the fishy smell. "I shouted so intimately, what happened quickly." After being coaxed by her like this, Mire Takahashi's face suddenly appeared with two blush.

"It's just that she gave me a vocal class before. What can happen?" Ye Zhao was a little speechless. "Sister Meixiang, it's okay to say something like me, don't bully the little girl."

"Just just kidding." Kawashima Mika patted Ye Zhao's shoulder, "Mire is such a well-behaved girl. In order to prevent her from being deceived by a bad man, I have to take good care of her as a senior. Ye Jun, even you can't do it."

"...I'm so sorry, I'm just such a bad man who cheats on women."

...

After the show ended, Ye Zhao called Uesugi and said, "Uesugi Sang, if there is nothing to do next, go to the recording studio together? I have a song I want to ask you to listen to."

Hearing Ye Zhao's words, Uesugi Shin rolled his eyes and asked back, "Can it be that President Nagato asked you to write to WANDS? If that's the case..."

"Is it okay to listen to it before refusing? If I am not satisfied, I can accept the return." Ye Zhao interrupted him.

Uesugi Tsuke stared at Ye Zhao's eyes for three seconds, and finally nodded, "It's okay to listen."

Instead of returning to the recording studio at BEING headquarters, the two went to the Shibaura Stage, Minatoku, not far from the dining restaurant. As the recording studio under BEING, when they arrived there, they were soon arranged to a recording studio.

If you want to master a wonderful balance between rock and pop, Okuda Minsheng is one of the best. Looking back at Okuda Minsheng, it was first in a band called UNICORN. This band debuted in 1987 and disbanded in 1993. Its active period was only seven years, and it did not create any miracles in sales. However, the influence they brought to the RB pop music scene was real, not only because they produced authentic Japanese rock, but also because of their critical and satirical lyric writing style that greatly impacted the idol singers at that time. The music scene where love songs were rampant brought more possibilities to the writing of lyrics. Many singer-songwriters later were influenced by them. As the soul figure of UNICORN, Okuda Minsheng's music achievements were naturally unquestionable.

After UNICORN was disbanded, Minsheng Okuda made his debut solo. At this time, the RB music scene was full of flowers. Whether it was traditional JPOP or folk songs, pop rock, electronic music, R&B, metal or even HIPHOP, all kinds of music types could survive well. When many musicians were exploring and seeking the transformation and integration of music styles, Minsheng Okuda always insisted on making the purest rock music. The music magazine "ROCKIN'ON JAPAN" once called it a "rock general". Among the 100 greatest singers of RB selected by HMV, Minsheng Okuda ranked 25th, and B'z and Mr. Kids could only be behind him.

As for why Okuda Minsheng's grasp of popularity has reached its extreme, it is because he will serve as the producer of a girl group named PUFFY two years later. When the Komuro family dominated the music scene and the V-series bands gradually rose, PUFFY successfully broke through the siege and set a precedent for "powerful idols". Even in the United States across the ocean, PUFFY has gained considerable popularity and is one of the few successful people among American RB artists. In fact, in the 1990s, many capable singers or band members changed careers and became producers, Tetsuya Komuro, Minsheng Okuda, and Junjun, who later served as producers of Good Morning Mother, were all the best among them.

...

The song Ye Zhao finally decided was the single "さすらい" released by Minsheng Okuda in 1998 (Go Wandering). During the days of searching for the songs, Ye Zhao figured out one thing, that is, no matter how suitable the song he gave for WANDS, it would not really satisfy Uesugi and Hiroshi Shibasaki who were determined to make their own music. Since that is the case, it would be better to give them a song of blessing and inspiration.

They each found a chair to sit down, and Ye Zhao picked up the guitar leaning against the corner of the wall and quickly adjusted the strings. Okuda Minsheng's music style is very free and easy. You can say that he is not delicate enough, but the unmodified roughness is actually the most touching part. The first lyrics of this song are: "Go wander, and in this world of flowers, sing while swimming."

Upon hearing this sentence, Uesugi Shin's originally casual expression was slightly moved, changed his sitting position, and leaned forward slightly. Ye Zhao didn't care about his transformation, and sang the song on his own. In terms of the use of the words, Uesugi Shin's lyrics were very delicate, so they could touch the softest part of the heart, while Okuda Minsheng's lyrics happened to be rough and unrelated, full of the elegance of a prodigal son. This elegance was exactly what Uesugi Shin lacked, who was still hesitating at this stage.

The whole song lasts only three and a half minutes, with the intense melody paired with simple and atmospheric lyrics. Whenever Ye Zhao repeats "Go Wandering", Uesugi Shin-sun feels that he is using this song to encourage him to live according to his original intention.

When Ye Zhao gently covered the guitar sound hole, Uesugi nodded, with a more kind expression on his face. "It's a good song, but why do I think you seem to have no intention?"

"Uesugi Sang was joking, what can I do?" Ye Zhao put down his guitar. "It was just that after experiencing something a while ago, I had figured out some things, so I poured this part of my thoughts into the lyrics." Ye Zhao said half-true and half-false.

"That's right." Uesugi Tsuke smiled. The conflict between WANDS and the company was not as good as everyone knew. It was impossible for him, a newcomer, to know these things. "I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be able to do such rock."

"In Uesugi Sang's eyes, I probably think I am a person who can only write best-selling songs to pursue fame and fortune." Ye Zhao also smiled.

"I didn't say that." Uesugi Shigeru spread his hands, "This song is really good, but if I want me to use this song as the main theme of the new single, I want to make some changes in the lyrics."

"Actually, I think it's a bit rude to write lyrics together. If Uesugi Sang has any opinions, just mention them." The RB copyright system is clear, and there are not many opportunities for singers to make money by walking, so almost every singer who debuts is working hard to get some ideas about creation. All the lyrics and music can be included. If it really doesn't work, you have to learn to write lyrics and try to get an extra royalty. In BEING, basically the lyrics are filled in by the singer himself. It is actually a bit unkind to take out lyrics like Ye Zhao directly and take out lyrics and songs.

"I don't think it's so rude but rude. The lyrics are well written. It can even be said that it is because of this lyrics that make me want to sing this song. I only want to change the last sentence."

The last line of this song is, "If you haven't even wandered once, you won't be able to die in vain."

Uesugi Shigeru thought about it and said, "I want to change the last sentence to, 'If I haven't even wandered once, it's better to die like this'. If I can change it to this sentence, I will sing this song. On the band side, Shibasaki and Kimura will do my best to convince them even if they have any objections."

"It's better to die like this." Such a strong emotion made Ye Zhao realize that Uesugi Shin's intention to leave was resolved. Thinking of this, he nodded, "Okay, I agree to this change. Next is President Nagato..."

"You haven't given it to the president yet, right?" Uesugi Teng was a little surprised.

"I think since I want to provide songs to WANDS San, I must first satisfy Uesugi San and the band's seniors."

Uesugi Tsuke was like he met him again, "Ye Jun, you are such an interesting person."

"I will think that Uesugi Sang is praising me." Ye Zhao said.

On the evening of the next day, Ye Zhao received a reply from Uesugi Tsuke: Shibasaki Hiroshi and Kimura Masa also agreed to sing this song. After receiving the affirmative reply, Ye Zhao found Nagato Daiyu and handed him the song sample of "Go Wandering".

Nagato Yuki praised this song endlessly, and his eyes were full of appreciation for Ye Zhao's eyes, "I really didn't expect that your style would change so freely, which is amazing." He even felt that it was extremely correct to protect Ye Zhao. After praising the song, he criticized the lyrics, "Uesugi's lyrics are very literary, and the lyrics you provided seem to be a bit too casual. If Uesugi can write the lyrics, it might be better."

"If Uesugi Kwan is not satisfied with the lyrics, I agree to him to rewrite it." Ye Zhao's refreshing attitude made Nagato Yuki very satisfied. However, when he handed the song to WANDS, Uesugi Teng happily agreed to the lyrics provided by Ye Zhao, and only proposed modifications to the last line of the lyrics. Ye Zhao, who had reached a consensus, naturally had no objection. Such a smooth progress surprised Nagato Yuki, but he didn't know that the two of them had already been angry in private.

WANDS's new single "Go Wandering" soon entered the recording stage. Although Uesugi Tsuke only modified the last line in the lyrics, Ye Zhao still insisted on co-signing with him in the lyricist column. After completing the task of writing songs for WANDS, Ye Zhao's own new single was also put on the agenda. After experiencing the scandal, no one knew the prospect of this single. Although it is well known that the decisive evidence and sued "Weekly Trends", what this can only eliminate is the prejudice brought to the public by the scandal incident and correcting the original negative score to zero.
