Beethoven Reborn - Episode 33
Beethoven Reborn Episode 033
9. 6Sal, first full-length album(4)
Monday morning.
I headed to Japan with my mother and Himura..
When we arrived at the airport, Nakamura welcomed us. Unlike his usual slovenly appearance, he was shaved and neatly dressed..
“long time no see.”
“Hello, Mr. Nakamura..”
“hello.”
After greeting me and my mother, Nakamura also lightly shook hands with Himura..
Just as I learned a little bit of Japanese, Nakamura also seems to be able to say hello in Korean, albeit with an awkward pronunciation..
Nakamura checked the time and bowed his head as if he was sorry..
“The schedule is a little tight today..
sorry.”
“no. It would have been nice if it was the weekend, but I can't disturb many people because of my schedule. Moreover, Dobin is appearing on TV. It's okay to take a day off.”
My mother patted me and said.
“I am just grateful. Then let’s go and talk..”
“yes.”
After briefly saying hello, Nakamura guided our group to the car..
It wasn't as good as the car John Richard brought from America, but it looked nice..
“oh.”
“This is a chop sent by NHK for Dobin..”
After getting on board happily, Nakamura's explanation continued, and Himura interpreted it..
“The program that Dobin will appear on is an educational program called ‘Go Konama’. Dobin's appearance will last about 30 minutes, and filming will take place at the NHK Metropolitan Broadcasting Center in Shibuya..”
“What can I do??”
I didn't understand that alone, so I asked directly..
“hmm… … . The script arrived, but I probably won't be able to read it. Let me explain right now..”
Nakamura found the script in his bag and continued his explanation again..
“These are basic questions. How did you write ‘Resurrection’ and how were you able to create such music at such a young age? What is your relationship with Mr. Sakamoto??”
For some reason, Ishihara Rin and reporter Kim Jun-yong also felt like NHK was asking similar questions..
“Is it like entertainment??”
My mother also opened her mouth to ask if she had any questions..
“haha. Not really. This is a liberal arts program with a light atmosphere. In fact, Japanese entertainment is emotionally distant from Korea... … . I am refusing because I think it may be uncomfortable for Mr. Dobin and his mother. Also, it doesn’t fit Dobin’s image..”
“thank god.”
Fortunately, it looks like you were relieved by Nakamura’s answer..
“Other than that… … I also asked Dobin to play, and he said, did you bring a violin??”
“yes.”
“thank god. After hearing that Dobin personally participated in the recording, he requested it. I told you it might be difficult, but is it okay??”
“Is it difficult??”
“haha. I thought you might be nervous because it was a live broadcast and a lot of people were watching..”
“It's better if there are more people. are you okay.”
For me, who has been performing since I was about ten years old, the stage was my life..
I'm so nervous.
The bigger the audience, the better..
“Upon arrival, we will go through a brief rehearsal and then start filming right away. Because it is a live broadcast, you have to adjust the time, so there may be a waiting time or you may have to move in a hurry. Please make sure your mother knows this too..”
“yes. What time does it start??”
“1From 25 to 55 o'clock.”
“Dobbin must be hungry.……
“haha. We prepared a meal so that you can eat right after filming is over..”
“Curry?”
The curry my mother makes is delicious, but Japanese curry definitely has its own flavor..
“haha. no. This time, I prepared a kaiseki course..”
I don't know what it is, but when I was told it wasn't curry and was disappointed, an extremely tall tower came into view..
“It's Tokyo Tower. Arriving soon.”
As Himura said, soon a long building with a light brown exterior wall began to come into view..
It was curved like a '丄' and wrapped around a tall building, and it appears that this is where today's broadcast is being held..
I got out of the car a little excited at the thought of having a new experience..
After completing one rehearsal, we had to go straight to the actual filming..
There were more people rehearsing than expected, and some were late, so there was not enough time..
I had to end it by briefly saying hello to the host, along with Himura..
Nakamura seemed worried that I would be nervous, but Himura told him not to worry and instead scolded him..
“Still, it’s a live broadcast, so if there’s a problem,.”
“I guess you don't know about Dobbin yet. haha. Where did you see Dobin go and get nervous??”
“huh.”
That's right.
Since we've been together for almost two years now, Himura seems to have figured out a bit about me..
“Dobin Bae! Mr. Himura! 3 minutes before the live broadcast!”
“I guess I should go now.”
“Dobin, do well. Go for it!”
“Go for it!”
My mother clenched both fists and forcefully lowered them from top to bottom..
To respond to my mother's support, I also did the same and went up to the set with Himura..
After arriving, I thought about it all along, but there really are a lot of cameras..
Himura and I got up behind the set and the host started speaking with a loud noise..
“Live afternoon meeting! Spring has arrived before we know it. Miss Uehara, I heard there is something as welcome as the news that the warm season has arrived.?”
“yes. The album that was released just the day before yesterday. The news is that 'Dob ean Bae Bae Do-bin: Suite for Piano and Violin' has been released..”
“Dobin is a three-year-old genius boy who topped the classical music charts with ‘Resurrection’ two years ago.?”
“That's right. Now, two years later, let’s meet Dobin in person.!”
I have no idea what it says.
If Himura hadn't told me to go out, I would have been late..
As the curtain lifted and we headed to the stage, loud applause rang out. The sound was enough to make me cry, it's been a long time since I received this kind of hospitality..
“Wow! cute!”
“cute〜”
It seems that there are rude women here too who make a fuss when they see my cute appearance..
I said hello as requested in the script. Her mother said she should show courtesy, so she lowered her head and opened her mouth..
“hello. This is Bae Do-bin from Korea..”
“Wow
To borrow my father's expression, it's a mess..
The women sitting in the audience were screaming so loudly that it was crazy..
“As far as I know, Dobin is only five years old, and he speaks Japanese well.?”
“I only know a little bit.”
“haha. okay. Now, first, let’s watch a video to learn about Dobin..”
‘ video?’
At the same time as the host finished speaking, something began to appear on the large screen in front of the set..
［poverty was nothing.］
This is a phrase that will make your mother and father sad when they see it. When I glance at her mother on set, fortunately, she doesn't seem to know what that means and she seems to be as usual..
［Just a passion for music』
When was this filmed? A scene began to appear where I was lying down on paper writing a song..
Soon, various phrases and scenes began to appear, and then a photo of me that I had taken to use as the cover of the regular album appeared..
[Tremble at my screams.]
The video ended with a crazy sound..
My face is so hot that I can't even look at it. It made me wonder who the person was that hung up my picture and said things like that..
“cute!”
People just repeat the word ‘kawaii’.
Looks like there are a lot of crazy people.
The middle-aged male host nodded in admiration, and the young woman sitting next to him glanced at the script and opened her mouth..
“Single album ‘Resurrection’ sold 91,381 copies. The full-length album 'Dobean Bae: Suite for Piano and Violin' sold 39,000 copies in just two days of release! And the theme song of ‘Relics of Death: Part 1’, ‘Greatest Hope’, has 80 million streaming views! This is truly an amazing number..”
“Hey. Isn't it common for a classical song to achieve this level of success? Mr. Himura.”
“That's right. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best authentic classical song of 2010 and 2011..”
“ha ha ha! I think I know very well how great Dobin is. I’m curious as to why you were able to create a song like this. Dobin, how are you??”
“I can feel it. A melody and accompaniment come to mind, but I can't bear it if I don't write it down in the score..”
“Oh oh.”
Everyone reacted a little surprised.
It's different from having a normal conversation..
Should I say the reaction was bigger?.
I don't know if their exaggerated reactions are due to personality differences or the special nature of broadcasting..
It's not a very pleasant feeling.
Because it looks pretentious.
Next question as well. Even when asked the next question, the two hosts and the audience reacted excessively and made me feel uncomfortable..
“Now, let's finish by listening to one of the violin songs that Dobin recorded himself..”
One of the staff brought me my violin, and I braced myself to soothe my discomfort..
They're not really surprised by what I say..
If you are treating me with lies, all you need to do is really surprise me..
I put the violin on my shoulder and grabbed the strings..
The biggest change I noticed in modern times was the development of the song..
Unlike before, the development was very intuitive and the strong melody was the main focus..
One of them is that it is fast.
More stimulating. more intuitive.
I wanted to express that the music became more honest..
And the final song of the first regular album, created with Ryoichi Sakamoto's electric guitar concert in mind, is what embodies those sentiments..
‘He was a descendant of Banquo..
♪♫♬♪♫♬
Only the fingertips of the left hand holding the string and the right hand holding the bow..
And I started to make a melody with the feelings I had when composing the song..
I tried using several different rosins..
Andrea's clear and cheerful feeling matched the strong melody of 'Demian'..
After pushing through the song without even adding or subtracting, I open my eyes..
Everyone had their mouths open.
Finally I was satisfied.
