In this Life, I'll be the Biggest Star in the Universe

Chapter 019

It's refreshing to work like this.

It was completely different from the song production process learned at the large company called TJ ENTERTAINMENT.  If you look at it, it's a mess.

Just getting together, exchanging stories like at a neighborhood meeting, getting ideas for lyrics, making melodies, and fixing them.  It was a playful atmosphere rather than a solemn one.

Therefore, there were many advantages.

It was a pleasant atmosphere, so I had no hesitation in expressing my ideas along with it being fun.  I was able to keep trying new things.

A really fun experience.

It was the first time that the work itself was entertaining.

When I was severely scolded by my trainers during lessons, I used to come to the WHITE ENTERTAINMENT's office and get healing through work.

At the same time, we were all feeling it.

No one talked about it, but we all felt it instinctively.

That there was a fair wind somewhere that blew.

Of course, not everything was smooth.

First of all, there was not enough time.

It was fun to make songs and write lyrics, but the schedule was quite tight when it was time to record.  The reason being because WHITE ENTERTAINMENT set the release date for early February.

This was the only crisis.

Even though we diligently rehearsed hard, the atmosphere almost became a little rough because the quality we wanted didn't come out.

In the case with Jiho, he'll shed tears at Jang Sowon's reactions, who turned into a tiger-like teacher.  But in the end, we successfully recorded it. 

And when we heard the final version, we looked puzzled.

Because it was a little worse than we thought.

Jang Sowon asked with a smile.

"It's not as good as you thought, right?"

"What?  No."

"It's written all over your faces. You squirts."

She explained it to me.

"It's because the mixing and mastering aren't finished yet."

"Mastering?"

"In short, it's a task to balance the song. The engineers fix the slight difference in sound. It may not be a big difference, but once you hear the final version, you'll know."

"Ah..."

"You can look forward to it."

She spoke with confidence.

"It's going to be so different that you don't even recognize it."

February 2014.

It was evening, a day before the release of Jang Sowon's album containing, 'Something'.  It was the only Sunday of the week where I could relax in the dorm during the evening, so it was a relaxing atmosphere.

It seems like the prison inmates are resting well.

No.

Why does prison keep coming to mind?
