Beethoven Reborn - Episode 25
Beethoven Reborn Episode 025
8. 6Sal, first friend(1)
“ha ha ha. this this. You're a German musician. Even if you don’t know this guy, you don’t know much..”
Ryoichi Sakamoto, who smiled throughout the column article about Bae Do-bin, laughed out loud the moment he read the part where he mistakenly thought he was a 'German musician'.
Even in his opinion, this movie wasn't very well made..
However, with the genius musician Alex de Sploe as the music director and the virtuoso Ryoichi Sakamoto serving as an advisor, the film was able to confidently say that the music was the best..
Also recognized as such.
Among the great movie OSTs, the best was of course 'die meiste Hoffnung' by Ryoichi Sakamoto's young music friend, Bae Do-bin..
Ryoichi Sakamoto confirmed the invitation after sending a reply to David Baron, who politely conveyed his true feelings..
The date is February 11th. It was Los Angeles.
“Ah, that just worked out well. Could you give Dobin a nice sightseeing tour?.”
Ryoichi Sakamoto nodded and called Exton's manager Nakamura..
-Yes, teacher. This is Nakamura..
“It's been a while. Are you available to talk??”
-sure. What's going on??
“I'm just calling to ask about Dobin's schedule. The author of Relics of Death invited me. I'm sure Dobin was also contacted..
Have you ever received a story??”
-no. I didn't receive anything. Since the work on the movie OST involved someone other than Exton, there was no contact with us except when coordinating contract issues..
“Hmm. is it? Then where can I contact you?……
-They probably gave me the email address where I used to communicate with Mr. Dobbin. Himura is in Korea, so I will contact you..
“iced coffee. Thank you. then.”
-yes. We will contact you after confirmation..
After finishing the call, Ryoichi Sakamoto played Dobin Bae's 'die meiste Hoffnung' and closed his eyes..
♪♫♬
This suspenseful plot and explosive theme.
Although it was a long song, there were no flaws to the point where I thought the plot structure was perfect. No, I didn't dare find fault..
When I play music, I suddenly fall in love with the passionate sound..
After hearing the masterpiece again, Ryoichi Sakamoto opened his eyes..
“This is a friend who makes me curious about tomorrow right now..”
What song should I play tomorrow?.
For the aged Ryoichi Sakamoto, meeting Bae Do-bin was truly a source of vitality..
Please help Bae Do-bin, who brought life back to his life, to have a broader perspective..
And helping his music become more widely known has been the biggest interest of music-loving Ryoichi Sakamoto recently..
“I'll be happy to see the Grammy Awards. The timing was perfect.”
Next to Ryoichi Sakamoto was the sheet music for a violin solo composed by Bae Do-bin over the past month..
“uh? What is this?”
Youngbin Bae was able to find an email from an unknown source while checking his mailbox..
“Dabi… … . David… … Beckham? what's this? What did you write??”
Bae Young-bin, who is interested in subculture, was fluent in Japanese as much as a local, but had no knowledge of English, a regular subject since elementary school..
“Dobbin. It's Dobin! Dobbin! Did it come from Dobin? in America?”
The only word he could make out was his cousin Bae Do-bin's name, so Bae Young-bin loudly called his younger brother who was in the next room..
“Dobin! Dobin!”
“Dobin! Dobin Bae!”
“why!”
“Come here!”
“busy!”
However, the formidable younger brother, who had started to criticize Bae Young-bin for being more talkative, did not listen to Bae Young-bin, and Bae Young-bin had no choice but to stand up from the chair..
“Ugh, really. It wasn't just my younger brother..”
Although he spoke as if he was going to scold Bae Young-bin, he thought it was amazing that he was always defeated by Bae Do-bin's cuteness..
* * *
While I was concentrating, Bae Youngbin called me..
Because it was the most important part, I didn't answer because I felt embarrassed by Bae Young-bin interrupting me, but eventually he came to my room..
“uh? You were watching Forte.?”
“busy. Don't tell me.”
The story of the five fairies chosen by Muse, the god of music, had something that drew me in, even in its childishness..
When I was at home, I was bored so I stayed with Bae Young-bin, and thanks to the influence of this guy who was interested in comics and games, I was naturally becoming familiar with modern culture..
The reason I fell in love with these girls’ stories is all because of Bae Youngbin..
As I was concentrating on the TV, Youngbin Bae quietly sat down next to me and watched it with me, and after about 10 minutes, the story was over..
“under. Good.”
“……Why did you call me?”
“Oh right. I received a call from America. But I didn't know what it was about.”
“To me? USA?”
“huh. Since it's English, it must be America.?”
When it comes to the UK, I think it's normal to think of the UK first..
I knew now that if I thought about my past thoughts, there were many things that did not apply to me now, so I just moved on..
‘In America... … . I received the recording file?’
Since I had no idea what happened, I thought I would relay that fact to Himura tomorrow..
I started listening again to the solo violin pieces that I am obsessed with these days..
and the next day.
Himura came by to take me to the recording studio as always..
“Please take care of yourself today, Mr. Himura..”
“haha. yes. Don't worry, mother. Oh, by the way, didn't you mention that Youngbin received the email??”
“Email?”
“ ah.”
I forgot about it for a moment, but Himura asked about the email first..
“They said they received it. in America.”
When it was confirmed that the question was true, Himura looked at his mother and opened his mouth as if everything went well..
“I think I'll have to check that out. Mother, do you need to leave right now?……
“no. There's still some time. But America? Do I have to go again for recording??”
“This is not a recording, but the film crew said they would like to thank the people who participated in Relics of Death. Teacher Ryoichi Sakamoto said he wanted to go with Dobin-kun..”
“eww”
I already hate the thought of going that far away just to get a thank you..
My mother and Himura turned their heads at the same time..
“Why?”
“It's okay to say hello over the phone.”
Actually, I thought it would be polite to come in person if you wanted to thank me, but I also understand the perspective of someone who travels to meet so many people from all over the world..
I thought a phone call or email would suffice..
“so? … … Mr. Himura, actually, it is difficult for me to find time this time. Dobin got a little older and started working again..”
My mother, who hugged me with worried eyes, soon expressed her concerns to Himura..
As my mother said, I have grown up a bit (now I can move quite as I want), and since I am in the recording studio with Himura every day until dinner time, it seems like my mother has some free time as well..
After giving birth to me, she resumed the work she had stopped doing, and a few days ago, she started going to a place called ‘academy.’.
An academy was a place that taught knowledge and skills for a fee, and my mother said she was an art teacher..
It was a happy event for me as I had no idea my mother had such a talent..
At least because of me, my mother is less likely to be unable to demonstrate her artistic talent..
Since you're just starting out, it's probably hard to find the time, and I don't want to bother my mother by going all the way to America..
“Ah, I see. hmm. First, let’s check the contents of the email..”
“yes. Youngbin, can my mom check the computer? I heard there was an email from Dobin.?”
“yes.”
Bae Young-bin put away the strange screen and opened his mailbox..
To: Dobin Bae
reference:
Title: To Korea’s benefactor
“It's true that it came from Mr. Dobin. This is an email sent by David de Baron, the person who led the GenieWiz series. It begins with, “To my Korean benefactor.” haha.”
He seems to be a very polite friend..
Himura began to read the text slowly..
detail:
Hello, this is producer David Baron..
I and the Relics of Death production team would like to thank Dobin Bae for composing 'die m eiste Hoffnung' (The Greatest Hope)..
If you have seen the movie, you will know that 'die meiste Hoffening' (the greatest hope) was included without modification in two important scenes and was used briefly in other parts where necessary..
With the help of Dobbin Bae, 'Relics of Death':
1'Boo' has added depth, and this is something that both the production team and the audience agree with..
Greetings on behalf of the production company..
thank you.
We also organized a celebration to thank those who participated in ‘Relics of Death: Part 1’.
Please refer to the date, time, and location listed at the bottom of the email, and please make your presence present..
P.s. Sir Thomas Pils, conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, has sent word that he would very much like your participation..
“The date is February 11th. It must be American standards.?”
“yes. also… … Will it be difficult??”
“This is because it is the time when children who have completed their entrance exams leave and new students come in. What the heck.”
While my mother and Himura were talking, I looked back at the contents of the email..
I felt quite fond of a man named David Baron whose face I had never met..
This is because, unlike other people so far, I did not describe myself as ‘young’ or ‘genius’..
In fact, the only songs released after being reborn were 'Resurrection' and 'Greatest Hope', so there weren't many cases, but at least people who saw me mostly focused on the fact that I was still young..
Same goes for Nakamura and Himura..
It was also a blow to my pride..
This is because I am confident that I am better than anyone else when it comes to music, and I am dissatisfied with my music being judged as simply 'young'..
The reason I was able to become friends with Ryoichi Sakamoto was because he looked after me properly..
After the single album 'Resurrection', the Japanese media's reviews that Nakamura gave were all like that..
However, David Baron's letter showed that he was truly grateful for my music, and I thought I would like to see him again..
“I fully understand how your mother feels. This time too, Nakamura and Ryoichi Sakamoto will accompany us..”
“Still can't do it. It may seem like Himura-san, but Dobin is still five years old. It's not that she doesn't trust Nakamura or Sakamoto, but she's still a child..”
“my thoughts were short.”
But I also understand my mother’s feelings..
No matter how good I am, to my mother I am just a son who is only five years old and looks like it would not hurt to look at it..
Sending someone to a foreign country alone is an unacceptable situation for a mother or father..
‘I need you to understand. I want to meet you but.’
It's a bit disappointing, but if you're still alive, you'll definitely get a chance to see it someday..
I opened my mouth to ease my mother's worries..
“Mom, I hate that plane. I don't want to go.”
“Dobin.”
My mother looked down at me, then squatted down and made eye contact with me..
He stares at me in silence for a while and then sighs..
“Dobin, you can’t lie to your mom..”
“ yes?”
“It's written all over Dobbin's face that he wants to go to America? She's doing it because she's afraid her mom will get in trouble again.?”
