I had left the restaurant and said my good-byes to Arashi who still wanted to shop around the mall. I walked towards the Avex Records Building in the heart of Tokyo. I was greeting with many happy faces. I was given a pass that I would could keep and I was led to a room, where I would meet V6 and the other business people.
I opened the door and the room was silent. I saw 6 guys sitting in chairs looking at me. I bowed my head and walked inside. There was an empty seat and I sat in it. Then V6’s manager said. “Konichiwa, I’m V6’s manager, Matsumoto Hideo. You must be the popular, Matsuda Sakura-san.” I nodded and then he continued. “We look forward on working with you. These guys are the members of V6. They hope the song that you will write for them will be a big hit.” I smiled and nodded. “Hajimemashite, Matsuda Sakura desu. I look forward on working with you.” I bowed my head and said. “Let’s start.”
The meeting took about an hour. I made ideas and they accepted some and didn’t like some. After the meeting, I was exhausted and was too tired to get dinner. I went back to my apartment and fell asleep.
The next morning I had to meet Johnny-san who wanted to make sure that the album was okay. I got into another business suit that I had and left without eating anything. I don’t even know if I have food left in the fridge..
I arrived to the Johnny’s building in 10 minutes. I was early so I decided to have some breakfast at the little café. I ordered a little meal and coffee. Then I heard laughter coming from the people that just came in. “Ah, Sakura-chan!” I looked over to see Arashi who looked super happy that I was in the building. “Are you here for a meeting Sakura-chan?” Sho asked me and I nodded to his question. I looked at the wall clock and I had to leave. “Gomen, I would love to stay here and chat but I have some business to attend to. Sumimasen.” I walked out of the restaurant and went in the elevator. I arrived to the top floor and I saw a secretary. “I’m here to meet Johnny Kitagawa-san.” She nodded and let me in.
I opened the door and I saw a huge room. There was a bookcase filled with different books and manga. Then a huge desk filled with papers and sweets. There was 2 huge windows that showed a busy life of Tokyo. The chair turned around and I saw Johnny-san eating chocolate. “Domo, I'm Matsuda Sakura. I’m the producer that is in charge for V6’s new album.” He nodded his head and said. “Ah, Matsuda-san. Would you like some chocolate?” Then offered me the box of chocolates that was on his desk. I smiled shyly and replied. “No, its okay. I just ate breakfast.” He nodded and then I sat on a sofa in front of his desk.
“The new album will be called “City of Wonder.” I plan to make some romantic songs and some sad songs. Is that okay?” He nodded and asked. “Do you have some lyrics I can listen to?” I smiled and asked. “Do you have a piano?” He nodded and then opened to another door that led to a piano room. I sat down and began to play.
~My life is so empty without you.
I still don’t know how I could still live.
My heart will never know how to love again.
I will find a way.
After looking, I know that I will move on.~
Johnny-san was surprised. He didn’t say anything to me. I was done and he didn’t move. I asked “Johnny-san? Is the song bad?” He replied. “You have an amazing voice. The song just suited you well. It’s a wonderful song.” I smiled and said. “This song will become V6’s big hit.”
A few weeks later and I was done making the lyrics for V6. V6 had recorded my songs with my help. I had taught them what pitches to make and I told them to extend some of the lyrics. V6 loved my lyrics and they knew that they will make everyone love these songs. If it becomes the hit of the year, then more companies will want me to write more songs.
