Regarding this question, it seemed many players used to joke about it in the past.
After all, Princess Zelda often didn’t have much screen time in the games; the adventure stories basically revolved around the hero Link’s journey to save the princess.
“Uh… Zelda sounds better. Yeah, that’s why.” Haruto rubbed his nose and said casually.
“Alright…”
There was no reason not to listen to the boss’s words, so the game department manager immediately arranged the tasks.
Then there was the network operations department.
Their task was equally heavy: the production of the novel website and app, as well as a dedicated game client, and music software and apps, all needed to be handled by them.
This was also the department with the most sub-departments and the largest number of people.
Things like app production and maintenance were integrated under this large department; therefore, there were two managers.
Coming back to the point.
Haruto planned to learn from Blizzard’s Battle.net and Tencent’s WeGame, centralizing all his games into one client.
Not just The Legend of Zelda—there were simply too many good games to copy.
Call of Duty, Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy, Dark Souls…
taking any one of them out would be a blockbuster in this world.
Having a dedicated client would allow for better user concentration, and anti-piracy measures could be properly implemented later.
“Come, let’s go upstairs. I need the relevant instruments. The rest of you can dismiss for now, make your own arrangements, and officially start work tomorrow.” Haruto stood up and said.
“Yes! President!”
Everyone responded in unison, then scattered to get busy with their respective tasks.
This time, Haruto brought a total of three songs.
One of them was the song “One Last Kiss” from Neon Genesis Evangelion, which he had sung in the KTV before.
When he sang it in the KTV, it had been recorded by those gyaru girls on their phones and posted online.
By now, it had spread rapidly on the internet, triggering the attention and heated discussion of countless netizens.
However, Haruto knew in his heart that simply performing this song with a guitar was far from showing its true charm and couldn’t be called a perfect rendition.
So, this time he decided to recompose the song, striving to present the best effect.
The other two songs were the classic works of the famous Japanese musician Kenshi Yonezu: “Lemon” and “Uchiage Hanabi”.
These two songs were very popular and were undoubtedly blockbusters.
At this moment, surrounding Haruto was a group of experienced composers and producers.
Initially, they were somewhat skeptical.
They felt that although Haruto was talented enough to write novels and produce games, a person’s energy is limited.
How could he achieve perfection in every field and produce truly excellent musical works?
After all, where in this world could there be such a perfect person?
However, when Haruto confidently picked up the guitar, sang the three songs one by one, and demonstrated the general melodies, the scene instantly fell silent.
Without exception, everyone was deeply shocked and stood there dazed. This story is hosted at novelping.com.
Each of these three songs was unique with moving melodies and perfect rhythms.
Taking any one of them and putting it into today’s music scene would be an absolute blockbuster, enough to stir up a musical storm.
The young man before them was truly an out-and-out genius!
After the brief shock, a producer named Sakuragi Takuno was the first to snap out of it.
His eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately had an idea.
“For this ‘One Last Kiss’, I suggest starting with a piano solo to create an ethereal and deep atmosphere, then gradually adding electric guitar to add some passion and vitality, then incorporating strings to make the emotions richer and fuller, until finally adding drums to push the whole atmosphere to a climax. Such an experience should be better.”
As he spoke, he excitedly began to fiddle with various instruments.
It had to be said that the clever integration of several instruments was indeed much better than a single guitar performance, with richer layers and more delicate emotional expression.
Haruto listened carefully from the side, offering his own thoughts and suggestions from time to time, striving to make the music’s presentation closer to the spirit of the original work.
“As for this ‘Uchiage Hanabi’, Kanako, I want to give the lead vocal part to you, and I will sing the supporting part.”
After arranging the previous song, Haruto smiled and looked at Kanako behind him.
Kanako’s eyes widened in surprise, and she stammered, “Eh? Re… Really give it to me? I… I’m afraid I won’t sing it well.”
“Of course. Didn’t I say this morning that I wanted to train you? Did you forget?”
Kanako was still a bit hesitant, her eyes revealing a lack of self-confidence: “I… Can I really do it?”
