Beethoven Reborn - Episode 32
Beethoven Reborn Episode 032
9. 6Sal, first full-length album(3)
After the interview for about an hour, we talked about various things..
Rin Ishihara had some free time on her return flight, so instead of a formal interview, she asked personal questions..
There was nothing much different from when I was interviewed..
“It's okay to talk, but Mr. Ishihara, it would be difficult if you published the story from now on as an article..”
“sure. You know that I'm not that bad of a person..”
“All reporters say that..”
Himura, who said that, smiled slightly and looked at Ishihara Rin's chest..
“……tooth.”
Rin Ishihara took out a pen from her breast pocket and pressed something..
“Okay, that's it.?”
“yes. It's done.”
I don't know what they're talking about or what they mean..
I ordered another glass of orange juice and chatted with Lin Ishihara while waiting for it to arrive..
“Dobin, how does it feel to be a big star??”
“big star?”
“huh. It has already become very famous among musicians. In particular, everyone is raving about ‘Greatest Hope’ being perfect.?”
“I don't know.”
This is my first time hearing this..
“Hmm. Himura, what happened? It's okay if you don't know this.?”
“no. Not really. A Japanese broadcasting station has also contacted us, so perhaps Dobin will be able to feel it soon. actually… … Internally, we expected that the rise in awareness of Dobin would be slow due to the lack of information about him. We are aware of that and are working hard in many ways after the single album..”
“is that so. I wonder too
I was doing it. Dobin is not as famous in Korea as I thought. Even in America. Although he is a huge star in Japan.”
“haha. hmm… … . Usually, you take things one step at a time, so when things progress to this level, it is common for the story to spread, at least to those around you. However, since Dobin did not have such an environment, he had no choice but to write down the information. For example, in Japan, wasn't the promotion successful??”
“What do you think about your activities in Korea??”
“This full-length album is scheduled to be released in Korea as well. We have found a distributor and it will be released online in a few days. We have prepared some promotional methods as well. Like appearing on TV.”
“Exton, a feud between genius musicians due to lack of promotion! I think it would be difficult to write a title like this. It's a shame that the news story has disappeared, but it looks like you prepared well, as expected of Nakamura and Himura..”
“haha. How hard did you try to be with Dobin? We can't treat Dobin poorly. No matter what anyone says, Dobin is the star of Exton's expectations right now. Personally, I think Dobin is the president.
I think it is the greatest hope for saving the classical world..”
“Ahaha. Is that a prepared comment??”
Rin Ishihara laughed for a moment, and Himura shook his head with an embarrassed face..
“Then, what I'm most curious about is Part 2 of Relics of Death. Dobin, are you participating this time too??”
“yes. Ryoichi Sakamoto asked me to prepare it..”
“The guarantee is?”
“Reporter Ishihara.”
“lol. I was just asking..”
I didn't intend to tell her that I was asking, but Himura took it upon herself to block Ishihara Rin's question..
Rin Ishihara seemed to have no intention of continuing the question, so she quickly changed her mind..
“and… … The contract period probably lasted until this year.?”
“I knew that Mr. Ishihara was sharp, but I didn't know he checked such things. Please refrain from doing so in front of Dobin. Because there might be a misunderstanding..”
“Then next time, please give me an exclusive, no, first interview..”
“It's okay.”
What are they saying among themselves?.
I looked out the window while drinking the orange juice that came out just in time, and it looked like it was starting to rain..
People started to move faster.
I knew it.
Soon the rain will pour down.
“By the way, Dobin. Didn’t you start a fan meeting??”
“ Pan?”
“okay. People who Dobbin likes
It was formed and the number of members has already exceeded 5,000. Here, a site has also been created.”
Rin Ishihara showed me her phone, and I saw something on the screen that made noise..
As I can't read Japanese characters, I have no way of recognizing them, but anyway, I'm glad and thankful that there are people who like my music..
“Thank you.”
“I am also a member here.”
“yes?”
“Can you take a few pictures other than those that will be included in the article? On my sister's cell phone. I want to brag a bit.”
“is it so. then.”
“Oh my, it's cute. Well then come here.”
Rin Ishihara hugged me from behind and stretched out her arm holding the cell phone. She naturally lifted her head up..
I wish I took a picture sooner because it felt embarrassing..
Click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click.
How many pictures are you taking??
As I narrowed my eyes and looked dissatisfied, Rin Ishihara laughed shamelessly..
“Oh, this? Ahaha. I usually take a lot of pictures like this. That way, you can upload the best version. Ah, this turned out well for me..”
“I'm closing my eyes?”
“Dobin looks cute, so it's okay..”
They said it was a photo to post at a fan meeting..
I shook my head when I saw Rin Ishihara looking for the best picture of herself..
After a while, the interview and private interview were over..
“Bye bye, how are you?〜”
“Bye Bye.”
While he was contemplating whether to meet Rin Ishihara and head to the recording studio or go home, Himura's cell phone rang..
“Dobin, wait a minute..”
Himura, who had asked for my understanding, answered the phone and sounded a little surprised..
“Yes, mother. yes. yes? ah… … . First, please give me my number. Actually, I should talk to Nakamura..
yes. yes. All right. Don't worry. then.”
It looks like he was talking on the phone with his mother, but he is looking at the phone as if he is a little embarrassed..
A few seconds to do that.
Immediately, Himura’s phone rang again..
Looks like you're busy.
Starting tomorrow, I have to go to Japan and appear on TV, so I think I'll take a break today..
After finishing the call, Himura regained his appetite and asked me.
“Dobin, I heard they want to do an interview in Korea. can you do it?”
“Again?”
“huh. I just spoke with my mother on the phone, and a news reporter at the station said she really wanted to interview me. My mother told me to do whatever Dobin says. what do you think about it?”
“You make more money if you do interviews, right??”
“Umm. It's not entirely true, but the Korean release is just around the corner and I think it'll be okay..”
“Then I will do it. briefly.”
“okay. Then I'll tell you to come this way..”
“Man, one more drink of this..”
“more? My mother said not to give me more than two glasses of juice a day..”
“I already had two drinks..”
“Umm. … … It's a secret to my mother?”
After nodding, Himura approached the waiter and said, ‘A glass of orange juice. Does it contain sugar or syrup? yes. 'Please take that off,' she ordered..
For a while.
A man came into the cafe soaked from the rain..
The man roughly shook himself off, looked at me and Himura, and approached us with a sigh..
“Are you Dobin Bae and Shou Himura??”
“That's right. Reporter Kim Jun-yong?”
“yes. Nice to meet you. My name is Kim Jun-yong from the NBC News Center. I'm in such a hurry that I'm in a hurry. haha.”
Looks like I know.
I felt sorry for him and pushed him the tissue box in front of me. I don't think a few tissues can handle it, but.
“haha. thanks.”
A man named Kim Jun-yong wiped his face with a tissue and then called a waiter and ordered warm coffee and a towel..
He wiped his wet body and hurriedly picked up a tape recorder, a notepad, and a pen..
“first of all… … Do you mind if I call you Dobin??”
“yes.”
“thanks. Hehehe. So can you start by briefly introducing yourself??”
“Dobin Bae. Six years old. I live in Haeun-dong.”
It looks like he doesn't like the way he introduced himself in kindergarten..
Reporter Kim Jun-yong smiled awkwardly and slightly changed the question..
“I heard that you have been playing music since you were four years old. What was the process of releasing her single album like??”
“Uncle Nakamura came to visit. I joined them because they seemed like good people, and I got a lot of help from them..”
“I see. Shou Himura, what kind of person is Nakamura?……?”
“I am the general manager of Exton. He was the first to push for a contract with Dobbin County..”
“okay. But in Japan... … How were you able to find young Dobbin??”
“My cousin posted the music Dobin made on a Japanese community site. It felt like we had found a gemstone, so the original discoverer, myself, and Nakamura actively pursued it..”
“It's a community site.?”
“yes. It's Nico Dong..”
“iced coffee••••••
During the conversation, I felt that Kim Jun-yong really didn't know anything about me..
Of course, I came here for the interview because I didn't know..
Same goes for Ishihara Rin..
At least she knew about me in advance through Nakamura and Himura, while reporter Kim Jun-yong did not..
I wonder if it's a difference in environment, but it's also frustrating because I really don't know anything..
“I see. So, can we understand that Exton has found a gem called Dobin and is with him??”
“haha. But not really. What happened when I met him in person? We never said we could help with anything about the music. Fortunately, even Mr. Sakamoto couldn’t teach composition..”
“If you are Mr. Sakamoto. Are you talking about Ryoichi Sakamoto??”
“That's right. Oh, I guess this is your first time hearing about such information..”
After hitting the nail on the head, reporter Kim Jun-yong sighed and said,.
“Actually, it's a really sudden thing in Korea. There were a few articles about Dobin County, but there was no real story. The reaction was that ‘Last Hope’ was also music made by Koreans..”
last hope?
There is no song with that title..
If you are referring to the 'Greatest Hope' included in 'Relics of Death: Part 1', then you are a very rude person..
“okay.”
But Himura just nodded and was still smiling..
“Is there anything decided about your activities in Korea??”
“no. Not yet. I will contact you if it becomes available..”
“iced coffee. yes. thank you.”
In order not to show off, I didn't bother to see Himura or ask, "It will be released in Korea in a few days.".
Because I think I know what Himura is thinking..
I didn't think there was a need to be polite to people who just came and asked about this and that without even looking up basic information..
I also couldn't shake the feeling that it was quite rude, but I thought it was a good thing..
“Ah, reporter Kim Jun-yong. I'm sorry, but Dobin-kun's schedule is scheduled again from my work. As you can see, Dobin is still young, so rest should be guaranteed..”
“sure. Then, finally, if you say tomorrow’s schedule,……
“This is related to the regular album released this time. Thank you for going out of your way to come here today..”
“no. Of course I should have come..”
“thank you Then again.”
“Ah yes. I……
Himura hurried to say hello to reporter Kim Jun-yong and left the cafe with me..
Even when he got into the car, Himura behaved as usual..
“Well done, Himura. I hated that guy.”
“……Did you notice? If Dobin had noticed, he would have known too. I'll have to call you later. Dobin, you can’t have reporters as your enemies. Even if there are people who are rude like just now, you have to deal with them appropriately. And, leave that to me and Nakamura..”
“huh.”
Amazing Himura.
It's hard to make an effort not to fall in love with someone who has a job that pays the bills..
To that end, I once again gained trust in the person who represents me..
