Chapter 179 Metaphysical music and magical music! (Please subscribe~monthly ticket!)

After he really started to prepare to seize this IP and move down, Li Shaojie finally realized it.

Scoring this work is the biggest test for myself!!

What is tested is the comprehensiveness of a composer.

If we say that the image of JOJO in the first part is that of a British gentleman in the true sense.

So the second JOJO, the second generation protagonist who spans fifty years, has the same image.

Yeah, he's a pretty cute little hooligan who has a bottom line.

It’s not that serious and involves a lot of burning operations.

The background at the beginning of the story also came to the United States from England.

This is just the beginning.

The subsequent story, whether it is Egypt, neon, or Italy

The geographical span is huge.

And the span of genres is even greater.

If the soundtrack of the first part were orchestrated, and some church organs and Scottish bagpipes that sounded very Baroque were added, it would be very interesting.

Then, the second part needs to fit in with the background in which the story takes place.

America in 1938.

Therefore, when making BGM, taking into account the local customs, orchestral music is not the best choice.

Jazz?

Rock?

Blues music?

These things may be more interesting as background music.

You can even add a bit of hip-hop to make the whole music texture more "American" and better fit the image of the second JOJO.

Plus countless characters with distinctive personalities.

Intense battle scenes.

In addition to studying these suggestive "elements", in terms of basic music production, it is also necessary to consider the functionality of animation.

For example, to exaggerate the atmosphere and stir up emotions.

Then, the above considerations are overturned again.

It must integrate many elements and then become its own style.

While having a novel texture, it also wants to make people feel a unique "regional style".

then

After many requests, a song was born.

Comparing it with the previous songs, Li Shaojie's eyelids trembled.

If the BGM of the first JOJO is a gentleman’s hymn to courage.

So

The story of the second JOJO's angry old American gangster beating up primitive people needs to be a little more fiery on the road of implementing "courage".

So, this day.

Saito, who was preparing to go to work at Shueisha, felt his tablet computer suddenly buzz in his pocket.

When I opened it, it was an email.

I received the work sent by "Huahuosang".

A character song for the second part, the second JOJO.

"Overdrive"!!

Saito was stunned.

If this word is translated, it is "overdrive".

In other words, it's overspeeding.

It seems very passionate.

But Saito, who is familiar with JOJO, subconsciously thought of the nickname of the second JOJO.

"Vehicle Killer".

Driving and riding in a car will lead to a car accident; driving and riding in an airplane will lead to a crash.

Either the car is overturning, or it is on the way to overturning.

It can even be said that I have been driven or ridden by the second JOJO

Whether it is a car, a car, an airplane, a fighter jet, a submarine, or a cruise ship

It’s almost all done.

"Ha ha!"

Saito smiled.

It seems that it is not a bad idea to literally translate this song into "Vehicle Killer".

DriveOver.

"interesting."

Get in the car and plan to drive to work.

After thinking about it, he curiously put the tablet aside and turned on the music.

Then start the car.

At first, it seems like an ordinary soundtrack.

Creating a somewhat uneasy atmosphere.

The texture of the electronic sound effects does seem to create a sense of generational leap from the first work.

From 1889, it spanned to 1938.

"I won't make any harsh vows, because that means I might break them!"

Amidst the grinding electronic sound effects, an English narration appeared.

After a glance, Saito, who roughly understood the meaning, raised his eyebrows.

"Trust is not a word used to describe it, it can only be proven by actions!"

"Taking this road in life is, as you know, my only choice!!"

These low-pitched chants, coupled with the friction brought by this electronic sound effect, give me a feeling of facing the storm of life.

It seems different from other so-called heroism.

The heroism of the villain is just to survive at all costs, even if it hurts others.

The heroism of the protagonist is just to protect himself and the people he cares about.

This is the battle between ancient heroes and modern heroes!

"No simple words can express my heart!"

"I just want to work hard to live a wonderful life!"

Click.

The background sound effects of the recitation completely disappeared.

What was raised again was a series of passionate electronic sound drum beats!

That kind of friction sound is like the squeaking of parts when the vehicle is warming up!

"Coming thru! coming thru! coming thru now!!"

【Now! Overcome all difficulties!】

A long slide sound created by electronic sound effects is like an alarm sound!

It's like racing a car.

"Shake it like it's heat over drive!!"

Swing as much as you want and run fast!!

Shift into overdrive and fly!

Saito Wuhu made a sound, and the accelerator under his feet seemed to be a little faster.
