Getting High Song Story - Chapter 3
Jan. 20th, 2021 11:14 pm(Note: I'm not familiar with music terminology so I apologize if any of this doesn't make sense. Also I recommend reading along with the in-game story since there are some sound effects that are hard to portray over text)
Location: Gyroaxia share house
Kenta: Alright, I've got an idea for a melody for the song you were playing, Ryo.
Ryo: That was fastー, as expected of Kenken.
Kenta: There's still more work to be done on it. Before we go further, we should add in a guitar. What kind of image do you think the guitar should have?
Ryo: Hmm, maybe...a happy feeling?
Kenta: ...Again, that's a bit abstract.
Ryo: Won't everyone feel happier that way?
Kenta: For now, let's try out a major chord progression....
*Sound of a guitar*
Kenta: How's that?
Ryo: Hmm, something about it is off.
Kenta ...Something's off, huh.
Ryo: It needs to sound happier.
Kenta: ...Could you be more specific?
Ryo: In other words, the happiness will be drained to zero.
Kenta: ...I see. Maybe something more enthusiastic rather than fun...? C to Dm7...G7...
*Sound of a guitar*
Kenta: How was that?
Ryo: Mh, the happiness is growing. Let's try and make the happiness even greater. I'll play too.
Kenta: What will you do for the bass?
Ryo: Make an even greater happiness.
*Sound of a bass and guitar*
Kenta: It gave a surprisingly different impression than from before...
Ryo: Isn't it more enjoyable this way?
Kenta: ...This way definitely leaves more of an impression.
Ryo: Mh, it's good. I think Reon would like the way it flows.
Kenta: ...Is that so?
Ryo: For the hook, why don't we try something more fast paced? I think that would be cool.
Kenta: Got it. Let's try and alter the tempo.
Ryo: Yeah yeah. This is the kind of thing that Miyuki likes.
Kenta: However, if we do it like this, it'll be hard to make the melodies go together.
Ryo: Well, we can change it...like Nayuta.
Kenta: Take liberty, huh....still, it's definitely starting to take shape.
Ryo: You think so? Are you having fun now Kenken?
Kenta: ...Yeah. Somehow...this reminds me of when I first began playing guitar.
Ryo: Mh, that's good. I'm having fun too. When we get to the bridge, let's do something that Kenken likes. Do whatever you want.
Kenta: Whatever I want...?
Ryo: Yeah.
Kenta: I understand. I'll give it a go. However...how should we finish off the song?
Ryo: Hmm~... I wonder if the song could tell us?
