Chapter 4

Once a man sets his goal, he acts very quickly.

After buying two records, Nagayama Naoki immediately hurried back, trying hard to recall the songs he had seen and heard before.

Perhaps due to the穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in Chinese, which can be translated as "time travel" or "穿越" in this context), some memories in his mind seemed to be hidden in his subconscious, only surfacing when he encountered familiar scenarios.

After hearing "Aoi珊瑚礁" (Aoi珊瑚礁 means "青い珊瑚礁" in Japanese, which translates to "Blue Coral Reef") at the record store, all the knowledge about Matsuda Seiko came flooding back, but most of it was still related to her B站 (Bilibili) idol status...

Here, Nagayama Naoki sincerely thanked the up主 (up主 means "UP masters" in Chinese, referring to content creators on Bilibili) for including Matsuda Seiko's famous songs and some Showa era tunes as background music in their videos.

However, it seemed that he had watched more videos of Nakayama Miyuki...

Xu Ke's super idol, the dream lover of his idol Zhang Guorong...

And the stunning beauty who had graced the times and the gentle one who had softened the years, both together...

They were hyped up by marketing accounts until Nagayama Naoki personally critiqued them, only to find them truly appealing...

He had a vague impression of her hit songs. If he sold Nakayama Miyuki's songs to her after her debut, he could probably make a fortune...

Thinking about this, Nagayama Naoki suddenly remembered that Yamaguchi Momoe had just retired. So, it would be about two years before Nakayama Miyuki would debut. Now, she was just a 15-year-old ordinary junior high school girl with a bit of baby fat, showing no signs of her future Showa beauty...

"Never mind, let's sell Matsuda Seiko's songs first. These two years are her reign~"

...

He took out his key and returned to his small room.

He was a bit anxious on the way back, sweating profusely in the hot weather, and had to take a second shower of the day.

To say it again, being young is great. After sitting down for a while, he quickly regained his energy.

While listening to the newly bought records, he started to recall Matsuda Seiko's hit songs. Currently, "Kaze wa Aki Iro" (風は秋色) has already been released...

So, the next one should be the sweet "Cherry Blossom" (チェリーブラッサム).

He would check if it had already been written. If not, he would decide to sell this one!

The melody was very familiar, and the Nagayama Naoki of the present could fully understand the lyrics, even though he couldn't understand Japanese before. With both the lyrics and the melody, he just needed to record it! (It's that simple)

However, things were not that simple,

Nagayama Naoki couldn't write sheet music!

In his previous life, he was a science and engineering man, and in this life, he was a high school student from the countryside. Although he could sing according to the melody, he had never learned how to write sheet music.

"I've already written the lyrics," Nagayama Naoki looked at the words on the blank paper, unable to resist criticizing himself.

"The great business of selling songs has come to a halt unexpectedly..."

Feeling a bit discouraged, Naoki could only stare at the record.

Listen?

A flash of inspiration struck Nagayama Naoki,

The melody was already familiar! The lyrics were there! And he could sing it!

Why not find someone who can write sheet music to transcribe it?

Where could he find such a person?

There was definitely no one in his circle of acquaintances...

Suddenly, the image of Nakai Yuuta appeared in his mind. This high-achieving student from Hitotsubashi University, who frequented entertainment venues and knew a lot of people, should be able to find someone who can write sheet music...

What about not being close to him?

They were neighbors and had shared meals several times. After all, he had worked in the corporate world for seven or eight years in his previous life, so he could muster the courage to ask.

...

"So, you experienced a life-and-death situation, completely gave up on Yamaguchi Momoe, and threw yourself into the arms of Matsuda Seiko?"

Nakai Yuuta seemed a bit confused.

"Hey, after hearing Seiko's sweet voice, I was completely captivated!"

Nagayama Naoki said seriously.

"Then, after listening to her songs, a song came to mind, and you want to give it to Seiko as a gift?"

Nakai Yuuta's expression seemed a bit awkward.

"Hey, this melody was originally meant for Yamaguchi, but after hearing 'Aoi珊瑚礁' (Blue Coral Reef) today, the lyrics came to mind, and I realized this song is more suitable for Seiko."

Nagayama Naoki added a backstory to the song.

"Finally, because you can't write sheet music, you want to ask if I know someone who can transcribe the melody..."

Nakai Yuuta confirmed again.

"Hey, I'm really sorry, but among the people I know, only you, Yuuta, have the charisma to know someone who can write sheet music."

Nagayama Naoki lavished praise on him.

...

A few minutes earlier, Nagayama Naoki knocked on Nakai Yuuta's door while he was watching TV and informed him of his request.

This earned him Nakai Yuuta's suspicion and questioning. For a moment, he thought Nagayama Naoki had a mental problem...

"Even if you praise me so much, finding someone to transcribe a song isn't that easy... First, your song needs to be complete..."

Nakai Yuuta still didn't believe Nagayama Naoki's story and tried to brush it off.

Nagayama Naoki understood his concern,

"Yuuta, you can listen to the a cappella version of the song. The lyrics are already written."

"Boom Tony? Please let me listen."

So, Nagayama Naoki hummed the melody in his head, then beat the rhythm and sang "Cherry Blossom" a cappella.

Without the sweet, lingering quality of a female voice, the light rhythm and exquisite lyrics were still evident.

"I didn't expect such a rich emotional heart to be hidden behind Naoki's reserved appearance!" After listening to the song, Nakai Yuuta seemed to sense Nagayama Naoki's inner feelings.

The lyrics "Awakening from a dream," "The flower of love in my arms," and "You will accept it" perfectly matched Nagayama Naoki's mindset after experiencing life and death and re-immersing himself in Matsuda Seiko's charm.

"Truly a great song!" Nakai Yuuta became excited, "If Seiko sings it, it will definitely be popular!"

At this moment, Nagayama Naoki thought to himself: "Any song in my head would be a hit if released."

"This has been proven by history!"
