The original fantasy animation “LOST SONG” starring Suzuki このみ and Tamura, caused a discussion because of unexpected settings. The work that is known as the “fantasy narrative poems of two singers” is also one of the selling points. .
The Akihabara General Research website interviewed Yu Yagui, the lyricist of all the songs in “LOST SONG”, and composer Bai Yuyou, and asked them to tell about the production of the song based on the theme song. .
With the “Magic Bride” OP1 “Here” popularity of the soaring Baisuke Yusuke, and one of the starring of this work, but also the OP singer Suzuki このみ has been a number of cooperation: “Sakura Zhuang In “Pet Girl”, “DAYS of DASH”, “Dream of Dreams”, “Ange Vierge”, OP “Love is MY RAIL”, etc. are all famous songs. .
When Baihu received this OP commission, the original supervision, series composition, and sound supervision Morita said that he only proposed a very broad request such as “sounding songs” and “good songs.” On the other hand, the requirements given by the production committee are also “general to write in the ear” and “written in the Divine Comedy”, which makes him a headache. .
He combined with Suzuki’s own request, made all kinds of attempts, Liu Yi’s manuscript, and finally wrote the current OP “Song Jun”. .
In this song, Baihu has carried out many challenges. He doesn’t like to write fast songs, but he feels that if you add sadness, you can write fast songs. He pays more attention to the element of “quick songs that add a lot of sentimental elements” than the route that is close to handsome. .
The lyrics of “Song Jun” are created by Suzuki and Yu Yagui. He said that if you raise opinions on Suzuki from the beginning, the other party will be confused. Therefore, she first asked Suzuki to like what she liked, and wrote what she thought of, and then adjusted it afterwards. .
畑 also went to Suzuki’s lyrics on the scene to watch the battle. I saw her shutting herself in the room and yelling at the computer “Hmm~ um~”. I have never seen other people’s lyrics, so I feel even moved:
It turns out that when people write lyrics, they will be worried. .
At the meeting before the launch of “LOST SONG”, I uttered this feeling. When this statement came out, there was nothing wrong with the stage. She explained that looking at this sentence may make everyone misunderstand. Hey, he will also worry, but she said before the opening: “This song, where is this animation?”
For example, in this round, Suzuki is both the starring actress and the singer who challenges the lyrics to open the door to the new world. I think that my position is to merge these two points together, and think about what to do, it is very distressing. .
Etc. vaguely understood the mission of the song, and then began to listen to the music he received, to see what this song wants to express. She believes that without a song with a word, she must be shouting something, she must concentrate and understand the music. .
In this way, her own “pictures she wants to write” and “pictures owned by the music” will agree in her mind. Although this picture is not the same as the actual animation, it is because of this that the audience will feel multi-layered when they hear the theme song. .
So, wait until the hair of the hair is finished, once you start writing, you won’t stop worrying. .
When you actually start creating, you only need to output something in your mind. Bai Hu said that he did the same when he was composing. For example, when writing a chorus, when he opened the computer with a headache “Well… can’t think of a chorus,” he “yes, write this chorus” more often. .
Just because they are bothered before the start, so I will feel very fresh when I see Suzuki who is troubled by the output. .
OP The theme song is Suzuki このみ sing in his own name, so think about the status of this song for her status as a singer, what kind of album she will be, what kind of door to her. In the animation, Suzuki also sang a lot of episodes in the name of his voiced role bell. These episodes will also bring different labor to the two writers.
Bai Hu said that because Suzuki has become a singer, she has established her own route, so even if she is close to the world view of characters and animations, she does not know how to start at the beginning. Even if you try to sing softly, there is always a place where personal skills stand out. .
White household language makes Suzuki’s singing consistent with himself: “Try it a little.” “Is that what?” “Yes, this is the route.” “It’s the route…” Suzuki The talents that are possessed are very comprehensive and can fulfill the requirements of the writer, but they have not adapted to the requirements of how to find the writer as a role. .
畑,, ,, ,, 铃 铃Baihu believes that through this work, she has done this. .
Contrary to OP, the animated ED theme song “TEARS ECHO” uses not the name of Tamura, but the name of Fenix. Therefore, ED pays more attention to the role than OP. .
This song is also a song first, followed by a word. The request received by Baihu is “although it is a lyrical song, but I hope that it should not be written too grandly. However, don’t write too small a family, and want to read the post-sublimation story.” The film also said to him, “It is the feeling of a relatively open hill.” He gave him a photo of the hill for reference. .
畑 Hearing this, interjected that the film did not show her this reference photo. However, Baihu said that this inexplicable “feel of the hill” made him rack his brains, and ED also wrote three drafts to complete. I immediately changed my mouth and thanked myself for not seeing the photo. .
Finally, Baihu chose to pay attention to reading. After the animated feature is over, the audience will listen to the prelude and the segment, which will give the impression that “this episode is over.” Although the next chorus is sad, it is not too much. .
In terms of lyrics, I highly value the idea that “the character is singing”. I absolutely don’t want to use the words that Finnish does not say, so that people who resonate with the character can resonate with the song. Although there are many sad things in this story, she hopes that ED can use the feeling of forgiveness and inclusiveness in the passing of time to finish each episode. .
Whether it’s OP, ED or episodes, you should try to avoid using complex words and write to understand the meaning of words no matter where you hear them. In this work, “song” is very important. Therefore, she wants to let the audience not understand the lyrics card, but also understand the lyrics. .
畑 has written too many lyrics for Tamura, but although it is a character song, it is the first time that I wrote a song by Tamura. When recording, the performance of Tamura made the White House have nothing to say except “sing well–!” .
Bai Hu has already directed many singers in the studio, but Tamura even expressed his own way to match the songs. In addition to the “sound drag”, there is no other opinion to mention. She not only understands the world view, but also has a very clear impression of how the supervisor wants her to sing. Baihu began to ponder over how to guide herself. As a result, she did not need guidance at all. .
畑 said that Tamura may be completely different when singing as a singer and as a character. Because this time as a role to sing, compared to “singing ability”, she embodies more “the ability to master the world view.” .
As a work with “song” as the key word, the episodes and soundtracks in “LOST SONG” are also very important. .
畑 said that in terms of lyrics, she pays great attention to “language.” We are talking about Japanese, but is the world in the works a world of Japanese? Can you use the phrase “tea time” as the time when you drink tea? Can you use it in the lyrics? This has bothered you for a long time. .
I want to write the lyrics for this animation, which is basically a good-speaking Japanese. Even if you use a foreign language, it is a plain language, or a language that can form the basis of a worldview. In this case, she believes that perhaps not in English, but in Latin is better. Moreover, she wants to use the language “as long as the etymology of the word” as everyone knows. Because the language in the lyrics is to be combined with the music, she must make a clear definition of the language in her mind.
In this aspect of the song, the first written by the white household is the three pieces of music prepared for the recording of the concert hall. Since then, there have been a total of 10 months, and I have been composing. The film has put forward a lot of re-repair requirements, which is quite difficult. .
Recording in the concert hall is due to the emphasis on the scene. However, after the white household handed in the sample, the supervisor asked: “There is no need for this sense of Hollywood.” “Although it is grand, don’t make a sense of magic.” “Don’t write it like ○○” I’m aware of △△”… The white family didn’t know how to be good. After a long time, I finally decided to write the thick feeling of classical music. .
Supervising the impression that music has a very strong “not like”, so the two will get stuck. However, as the script was changed, the atmosphere of the work gradually changed, and it was very close to the songs made by Baihu. Wait until the second half, because the white family already knows what to write, it is very easy to compose. The most difficult part is the exploration stage before the film’s impression is reached. .
Finally, the two introduced the charm of the animation “LOST SONG” to the audience. .
Baihu said that “LOST SONG” reflects the personality of supervision everywhere. For example, it shows that it is a very serious plot. When you turn around, you will come up with funny bridges; or the serious atmosphere has not dissipated, suddenly It’s stupid to sell. This is also one of the fun of the work. This work will not simply end, I hope that the audience will look forward to it. .
畑 says that the world view and plot of this work is also very interesting, but from time to time there will be a tragedy that is deeply thought-provoking. She took the lament in the film seriously, and she fell into sorrow and began to think about what the lament of man is. Although she can understand people fighting for guardianship, fighting always brings tragedy. However, this tragedy is also to protect the happiness of others… This animation will make people constantly think differently, which makes her feel that “LOST SONG” is a very good work.
