Chapter 488 Lyrics

When Akina Nakamori talked about her childhood, she was very calm, without the expected sadness, as if she was telling someone else's story.

Akina Nakamori's mother loved singing very much, but gave up her dream of singing for the sake of the family. Akina Nakamori inherited her singing talent from her mother.

Her mother saw Akina Nakamori's talent, so when she was very young, she arranged for her to study ballet with her sister at the Yokoyama Shoko Modern Ballet Studio, and to learn singing at the same time.

These studies laid the foundation for her later performance and singing.

Their family's economic conditions were not very good, and with so many children, life was naturally not very good.

In order to improve her family's life, Akina Nakamori started to participate in "Star Birth" at the age of thirteen, but failed twice before. It was not until 1981, when she was sixteen, that she won the highest score since the show started with a song "Dream Guide" by Yamaguchi Momoe.

After her debut, she started to follow the pure and cute route like most female idol singers, but she did not get much development.

It was not until she changed her style and took a mature route, with more mid-bass in her songs, that she became more and more popular with fans.

It was also because of the change in route that she changed from an idol singer to a powerful singer.

"In those years, I was really happy. The family's financial situation improved a lot, everyone smiled more, and my mother was proud of me."

It can be heard that Akina Nakamori missed the period when her career just started, but she didn't feel much about the life at the peak of her career.

This is also human nature, because when people are on the rise, life is the most hopeful, and they look forward to the future every day.

But after reaching the peak, this motivation will disappear, and life will lose its goal.

Whether a person's life is happy or not often has nothing to do with how much they have already obtained.

To be happy, you must have hope every day.

Therefore, it is best to make progress little by little. If you develop too fast, it is easy to have problems.

At this time, as the fame grows, the problems encountered in life are also increasing.

There are six children in their family, and their ages are not much different, so their family situation is destined to be not simple.

Because she became famous and could make more money, she had to bear a lot of financial burdens at home.

Although money was nothing to her, it was difficult to find a sense of existence in such a family.

This was probably why she cut off ties with her family after her mother passed away.

However, from her words, it can be heard that she was not completely without nostalgia for her family, at least she had a lot of feelings for her little sister.

"Now I am satisfied as long as I can sing on the stage occasionally. As long as there are fans who like me, I will keep singing."

For her, the stage and fans should be the ones who can support her to move forward.

The stage is the only place where she can find self-worth now, and fans are also her most important ties.

Her life was so decadent before because she not only lost family affection and love, but also gradually lost the stage and fans.

Later, the song "Snow Flower" saved her.

Akina Nakamori looked at the children playing with fireworks excitedly not far away, and suddenly smiled, "Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

Zhou Yan smiled, "You said thank you too much today."

"I promise, this is the last thank you I will say to you today." Akina Nakamori tilted her head, she felt that this was the most relaxed moment in her recent years, and she didn't have to think about anything.

After a while, Akina Nakamori suddenly asked, "Teacher Zhou, do you want to listen to a song?"

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Of course, do you want to sing?"

Akina Nakamori brushed her left hair behind her ear, revealing her entire side face.

She didn't say what she was going to sing, but she prepared a little and started talking.

"You freed up a pair of hands, broke through the night and held me

In the palms of the two hands, there is a whole wide sky

..."

It is the Chinese version of "Snow Flower". Compared with the previous officially released version, Akina Nakamori's pronunciation is much better at this moment, and her singing pronunciation is better than speaking. After all, she has sung this song many times and the lyrics are very familiar.

As soon as she finished singing a sentence, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh.

She deserves to be called the original singer, her talent is really strong.

In the mid-bass range, the quality of her voice is really good, and the timbre is very pleasant.

This kind of voice is most suitable for singing love songs.

Even without any skills, her performance in the mid-bass range can win her a large number of fans, not to mention that her skills are also very good, which is completely worthy of the title of singer.

Her performance in the last two sentences is still steady, but what makes Zhou Yan feel strange is that after she sang "If you say, you can only live for this day", she switched to Japanese.

If it was just switching to Japanese, Zhou Yan would not feel strange. The problem is that the two sentences she sang later are different from the lyrics of the Japanese version.

Although Zhou Yan does not understand Japanese, he has listened to the Japanese version of this song many times. When recording the song, he still listened to it sentence by sentence.

Of course, he remembers that these two sentences are not sung like this at all.

And it is not just a little different, it is completely different. Obviously, she changed the lyrics on the spot.

But only the last two sentences were different. After that, she switched back to the Chinese version, and the lyrics did not change.

When it came to the second time, it was still the same. The lyrics of these two sentences were changed to Japanese.

In addition to the change in the lyrics, Akina Nakamori was obviously too happy when singing this song today.

Although the lyrics of this song do not express the sadness of love, they are also memories and longings. Akina Nakamori's emotions at the moment are obviously not in line with it.

However, the emotions of singing cannot remain unchanged. Singers must have their own interpretation.

After she finished singing a song, Zhou Yan smiled and applauded, "It sounds good, a little different from the version in the recording studio."

Akina Nakamori lowered her head, her expression was a little shy, "Do you think it sounds better than the one in the recording studio?"

"It's hard to say which one is better, but I definitely like this version more today, a-choo..."

Zhou Yan suddenly sneezed. After the two of them got off the car just now, his clothes had been draped over Akina Nakamori, but because they had just got off the car and were busy playing with fireworks later, it was not very cold.

But now, sitting here and listening to Akina Nakamori talking about a lot of things in the past and singing a song, Zhou Yan's heat has almost gone.

Seeing Zhou Yan sneeze, Akina Nakamori quickly took off her clothes, "Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I'll give you the clothes back."

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "You still need it more."

Comparatively speaking, Zhou Yan was wearing much thicker clothes, and he was a man, so he could stand it.

With Akina Nakamori's clothes, it would be impossible to stand it without his coat. Especially her exposed calves, which looked cold.

"Or, let's go back. We have delayed you for a long time." Akina Nakamori suggested.

Zhou Yan looked at the time and said, "Since we have been outside for so long, let's wait a little longer, wait for the New Year's Eve, and we can see a wave of fireworks soon. But we can wait in the car first."

It was too cold outside, and they had almost finished playing with the fireworks anyway, so there was no need to freeze outside.

Nakamori Akina nodded, "Yeah."

...

The two returned to the car, and it was warmer all of a sudden.

"Do you want to listen to music?" Zhou Yan asked.

"What music?"

Zhou Yan opened the big box of tapes and started to search inside.

The car he drove out today was a new Passat, with a standard tape player, and there were usually some tapes in the car.

These tapes were prepared by the driver, probably to cater to Zhou Yan. Most of them were Zhou Yan's works, and some were classical music.

Zhou Yan wanted to find a more popular one, but he didn't see any at all.

But Nakamori Akina saw the album "Mystery·Excess" in the middle, and smiled and said, "Otherwise, listen to this."

"This? Mystery·Country?" Zhou Yan asked.

Nakamori Akina nodded, "Yeah, that's it, this is the album I listen to most often at home."

"Mystery·Country" should be the best-selling pure music album in Japan in recent years. Even if the limitation of pure music album is removed, it is still the best-selling.

Moreover, even after so many years, the annual sales of this album are still very impressive, and it is almost squeezed into the charts every year.

It can be said that half of Zhou Yan's kingdom in Japan was won by this album.

Compared with the earliest "Piano Boy", "Mysterious Country" is obviously more popular in Japan.

For many Japanese music fans, this is their first love of music.

If Zhou Yan only released "Piano Boy", to them, Zhou Yan is just a relatively good musician, but it is different when he released "Mysterious Country". Fans have already divided him from ordinary musicians.

The characteristics of this album are oriental style, magnificent and melodious, full of mysterious flavor.

Zhou Yan actually hasn't listened to this album for a long time. Now revisiting this album, he suddenly thought of the time when he filmed "Heaven's Letter".

"Heaven's Letter" is his first time to write a soundtrack for a movie on his own, and it is also a work that really stands out in the field of movie soundtracks.

The album "Mysterious Country" came about because when "Heaven's Letter" was filming at Tiananmen Square, the crew of Yanjing TV Station met him.

It was because he knew that Yanjing TV Station was going to shoot a documentary about the Forbidden City that he thought of making songs like "Memories of the Forbidden City", and finally the album "Mysterious Country" came into being.

In a flash, five or six years have passed. Time flies.

Zhou Yan's thoughts went back to the past with the notes, and he fell into memories until the first two songs were played.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Akina Nakamori had fallen asleep on the co-pilot.

She hugged Zhou Yan's coat tightly, her head resting on the back of the chair, her face facing Zhou Yan.

Akina Nakamori was sleeping, her brows were relaxed, not as tightly furrowed as usual.

Although she was already 31 years old, she still looked like a girl in her twenties, and the years did not leave too many traces on her face.

Zhou Yan discovered for the first time that Akina Nakamori had a nice neck, long and smooth. Maybe because of the hot air in the car, her white neck was a little pink.

"Can you sleep like this?"

Zhou Yan shook his head secretly. He didn't expect that Akina Nakamori could fall asleep listening to an album like "Mysterious Country". This album is very magnificent.

Maybe she does listen to it often at home, but she always listens to it before going to bed.

Zhou Yan reached out to turn down the volume a little, then took his coat out of Akina Nakamori's hand and covered her.

However, because she was leaning on the seat and she was petite, the clothes couldn't be hung on her shoulders, so Zhou Yan thought of wrapping her up with the coat.

He first stuffed the clothes on the side close to him under Akina Nakamori's arm, and then leaned forward to tuck the clothes on the other side under.

However, when he just leaned forward and was about to stuff the clothes, he found that Akina Nakamori opened her eyes.

At this time, his head just stretched in front of Akina Nakamori. When Akina Nakamori opened her eyes, the two looked at each other, and the distance was very close.

Zhou Yan clearly saw that Akina Nakamori's face suddenly turned red, and the redness first spread from her cheeks, then spread to her entire face, and finally spread to her neck.

Akina Nakamori's neck was originally white with pink, but now it has become red.

"You..." Akina Nakamori opened her mouth.

Zhou Yan hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I just..."

But before Zhou Yan finished speaking, Akina Nakamori actually raised her head and kissed Zhou Yan.

The distance between the two was too close, and the nose tip was only a fist away from the nose tip. Akina Nakamori didn't need to spend much effort at all. She just raised her head slightly and kissed Zhou Yan's lips.

Zhou Yan was also stunned when he was suddenly kissed by Akina Nakamori. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

After Akina Nakamori kissed Zhou Yan, she didn't move further, just put her lips against Zhou Yan's lips, but she didn't retreat either.

Zhou Yan did not move. At first, he stared at Akina Nakamori with wide eyes, but when Zhou Yan looked at her, Akina Nakamori closed her eyes in embarrassment.

After closing her eyes, Akina Nakamori's cheeks became redder, and even her lips were burning hot. Zhou Yan could clearly feel the temperature coming from her lips.

Zhou Yan could also clearly feel the hot air coming out of her nose.

This heat suddenly seemed to rush into Zhou Yan's brain, making Zhou Yan confused, and he began to give Akina Nakamori a little response.

He only gave a little response, and Akina Nakamori seemed to be completely ignited, and she hugged Zhou Yan's neck all of a sudden. (End of this chapter)
