The revue of each of the “Girls ☆ Opera Revue Starlight” has its own characteristics, and the corresponding Revue song (the song played during the revue selection) has also received a lot of praise. The website of the animated music magazine has also been published recently. The music producers of “Little Songs”, Tanishima Tiehei, Yamada Equity, interviewed with the lyricist Nakamura. The three men explained in detail the behind-the-scenes revue of each word. .

Noji Tieping is a producer of PONY CANYON, and Yamada Equity is a producer of AP DREAM. .
The first words.
World を Ash.
.
Song: Star sees pure (CV: Sato), Kagura (CV: Sansen Bell), Aicheng Hualian (CV: Hill EMI).
Lyrics: Nakamura, the other side.
Composing and Arranging: Ishii Kentaro.
Orchestral arranger: Fujisawa Kyoko. The original process of the
Revue music production method was first met by Pony CANYON’s music producer Nojima and Supervised Furukawa Tomo, and asked for the request from Furukawa. Then Nojima conveyed the idea of Furukawa to the actual production. Soundtrack AP DREAM music producer Yamada. The finished song will be handed over again to Furukawa by Nojima for further confirmation. After passing through Furukawa, the song will be finally handed over to Nakamura. However, in the production of the first Revue song, due to the decision to use film scoring (according to the completed splitter composition), the actual production process is still changing according to the scene. .
In fact, the prototype of the first-episode Revue song “World を Ash” is the song that was left unused in the original “プリンシパル-Fancy You-” candidate. Nojima recommended the song to Furukawa, and Furukawa decided to use the song after listening. .
The songs of “Little Songs” are not directly copied, and the songs need to be re-arranged according to the split mirror, so you need to contact the composer. However, Ishii Ishiro, who is responsible for the arrangement of this song, lives in Osaka. In order to make Ishii understands the requirements, Nojima uses video editing software to make the video into a video, and then add text prompts to the video. For example, write “eyes open, the song begins” for the position where the composer prompts the character to sing, and “this song needs to be adapted in this way,” “Please let the music light sing here”. Also, Furukawa hopes that the beginning and end of singing should be as close as possible to the mouth, so when composing, not only must the music be matched with the picture, but even the mouth shape should be right. .
As the songmaker made the arrangement according to the requirements, the final need for everyone to confirm the passage, Yamada can bring the song to the orchestral accompaniment recording stage. Basically, every time the Revue song is made, everyone must unanimously nod before entering the instrumental recording stage. .
As for the lyrics, Nakamura mentioned that he is using the lyrics to match the movement of the stage device and the mood of playing the role in Revue. However, there are also the opposite parts of the lyrics and the changes in the stage equipment. The lyrics “the meteor-like arrows chasing you” when the light travels through the pure arrow rain (the meteor った が くわ,, ,, ,, ,, , The contrast between Zhongzhongcun and the purpose of manufacturing. .
Second word.
The Star Knows.
.
Song: Star see Chunna (CV: Sato Nisshin), Love City Hualian (CV: Hill EMI).
Lyrics: Nakamura, the other side.
Composing: Nakamura Kanglong.
Arranger: Xiao Gaoguang Taro, Fujii Tatsuya, Gu Yu.
When making the second word Revue, the music production team has to face the problem of re-arranging a song that has already been formed. The reason why the ready-made songs are used is that Nojima believes that since the girl opera is a “two-layer expansion” work, the music can also be used to surprise the audience who watched the animation after watching the musical. So, it is proposed to use a piece of music used in a musical, and it happens to have a song suitable for the second word.
However, it is not easy to reconstruct a formed song. It is not only necessary to re-arrange, but also adjust the duration of the song according to the length of the split mirror, and adjust the tone of the instrument, etc., so the number of retakes is very high. And because there was a problem in the adaptation of the song, the song was separated from the original impression, and it took a lot of time to correct the song. .
Yamada admits that such a situation is a problem on the producer side, not a problem for the composers. When asking the composer for the demand, in fact, Nojima and others are not sure how to change the song, so the communication with the composer is also very struggling. Yamada saw that he had urgently invited the three composers of Takahashi Taro, Fujii Ryota and Gu Yu to help solve the problem. .
In terms of lyrics, the first words are more with the lyrics and the stage device changes, while the second is the lyrics used in conjunction with the script’s lines. In particular, the second half of the picture is switched back and forth between Revue on both sides. It is necessary to absorb the meaning of the lines in the script and then express the same meaning through the lyrics. .
For example, “Unable to reach the future” (touching the future) The lyrics here are to take the shots of Shinya and Clo, but at the same time with the purely lines “Always can’t catch up, those who run in The people in front of you (the いつだって かなかった を. Nakamura believes that this method of lyrics is not so much a combination of lines and lyrics as it is to write lines into songs. .
Third words.
夸りと pride.
.
Song: Love City Hualian (CV: Hill EMI), Paradise Zhenya (CV: Tomita Mafan).
Lyrics: Nakamura, the other side.
Composing and Arranging: Fujisawa Kyoko.
Although the third words are very gorgeous, the production of the songs is very smooth. This is attributed to the third-party segmentation. It is also the deputy supervisor of “Little Songs”. Zhuo Shi has a clear request for the songs he wants, and he also brought a video with reference music. However, at the time of the final compilation, there were some subtle changes in the duration of the animation. Fujisawa Kawasawa, who composed the words, complained a little about this. In addition, Nojima also praised Shinya’s seiyuu Futian Ma Fan singing. .
In the lyrics section, the third words take the lead of the two words, and the real combination of the props device and the lines are combined. For example, the lyrics sing “Climb up, if you have a strong will” (it is really good), it is just that Hualian climbs the stairs in the direction of Zhenya, and there are two people singing in the beginning. .
In the place of “increasingly high, more shining” (より高く より辉く), at the beginning, Nakamura was very entangled in saying it as a line, or as a lyric. I made a small proposal, and I let Shinya sing it here, so I asked Fujisawa to make a melody based on the lyrics. Here, I used the lyrics to make the music first. .
In addition, this episode also requires Nakamura to make lyrics with both a sense of words and emotions. In addition, it is necessary to produce a lyric such as “the call of the goddess, the jade seat of the sky” (the goddess び 空 の))))) 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。.
As for Nakamura, I very much hope that everyone can pay attention to the eyes of the characters, so I specially wrote “その眼差し” in the lyrics before cutting into other people. I hope everyone can pay attention to the eyes of several characters, especially gram. Luo’s eyes. .
Fifth words.
Love の magic ball.
.
Song: Lu Qizhen (CV: Iwata Kazuo), Aicheng Hualian (CV: Hill EMI).
Lyrics: Nakamura, the other side.
Composing: Little Koko Taro, UiNA.
Arranger: Fujii Ryota, Xiao Gaoguang Taro, Gu Yu.
Because the supervision requirements are different from the Revue style, that is, the songs that are unlikely to appear in Revue. The song of the fifth words should be cute, and it can show the fascination of the true love of China. The sixth sentence is a pure love song that can express the pure emotions of childhood. Nojima found that in the original single-player songs, there were exactly two songs that met the requirements. .
Nakamura bluntly said that this is fate, and Yamada explained that because at an early stage, he was already considering whether the animation would use these songs in the future, so the composers were always brought before the Revue songs were produced. Have this awareness.
Although in Revue, the role of the character’s self-reported place will have a prelude to the orchestral style, but the prelude of the fifth sentence suddenly became a large orchestra. After the appearance of the “shooting out of the child” kanban, the style of the tune suddenly changed. Also, because Furukawa requires music to be in line with the true feelings, it is also specially used in the arrangement to match the true emotional changes. .
Hill EMI sang in the final home run of Revue, which was actually not so long in the earliest recordings. The long-sound version is a new version of Hill EMI that is re-sung after seeing the actual film. Nakamura also specifically mentioned that the recording atmosphere of “Girls’ Opera” has been very good from the beginning to the end. .
The lyrics of the words reflect the true arrogance. Nakamura also saw on the Internet that everyone noticed that “weak light, if it is true, it will melt away” (ほら小さな光なんて真昼になれば消えてしまう) Sentence lyrics. Nojima likes the lyrics that expresses “Nothing is wrong, always looks at me!”, praising Nakamura’s high level of lyrics. .
The lyrics of the original text were created before the mirror was completed, so it was not so sharp at the beginning, and it was more natural and peaceful. After Zhongcun saw the well-painted mirror, he found that the content exceeded his imagination, and the length of time increased a lot. Compared with the lyrics of the first three words, this is the most difficult. Nojima personally likes baseball, and also asks Nakamura to add some baseball language to the lyrics. .
Sixth.
花咲か呗 .
.
Song: Shidong Fuye (CV: Sheng Tianhui), Hualiu Xiangzi (CV: Ito Caisha).
Lyrics: Nakamura, the other side.
Composing: Dachuan Maoshen.
Arranger: Ito Ken.
The sixth sentence requires to do the wind and the wind, but it is not to be pure and windy, but to have a beautiful song that has both a hibiscus style. Because Nojima likes the antithese in Namu’s music, it is proposed to make the song feel like a wooden one. However, due to the purity of the original version of the song, the raft was too large, so the song had to be revised on a large scale. In the end, the original version only had the guitar played, and everything else was modified. .
Also, because I want to make a new style of style, I added some electronic music elements to the song, and borrowed the “Meng Zhiju” by Mei Longfumei at the opening. The final song became Naimu and “Mengzhiju”. Combination of. .
In terms of lyrics, because the difficulty is not great, the work in the village is completed very quickly. Nojima especially praised the lyrics “Reciting the early slogan” (adapted from the hundredth one of the first 77th: 瀬をはやみ岩にせかるる, translated into the rapids of the rock, broken two helpless, “瀬” and “back” in the same voice), It not only covers the mood of the character, but also has a sense of Revue. .
Nakamura said that this is what he intended. Because the Revue of the sixth sentence is advancing along with the various conversations between the two, I tried to use the lyrics to fit the dialogue between the two. In addition, Nakamura also expresses the complex emotions between the incense and the double leaves through the lyrics. Xiangzi lie with such a serious expression, such a complex emotion is indeed very song-like feeling, and Nojima also likes this feeling very much. .
The sixth accompaniment Yamada deliberately found the shakuhachi performer Shen Yongda and his shakuhachi band. Although it is now possible to make a dubbing through a computer, Yamada believes that the live recording is more vivid, the emotional performance is more intense, and the heat of the song is raised several levels. The other is Yamamoto Yosuke (Japanese composer, arranger, guitarist) who is proposed by Nojima. Of course, such a passionate piece needs a powerful performer. .
