The documentary and scene collaboration of "The Song of Sowing."
After discussing with the company manager, Harada Moki proposed strengthening the recording for "The Song of Sowing." According to project requirements, piano is the main focus, with about eight hours of piano recording alone.
The developers suggested adding or removing instruments. For specific pieces from a character's entrance to the end of dialogue, he first determines the timing of musical transitions before designing variations.
During the production of the two theme songs, some words and phrases that were difficult to adapt to music were further revised after discussions between Harada and Kazuki.
Learning the piano and the earliest songwriting
Moki Harada has studied piano since childhood and enjoys recreating pieces by sound. In high school, he discovered the Nintendo DS game "Grand Ensemble!" 'バンド브라ザーズ' lets you input notes to compose music, write songs, and let friends play; He regards this experience as the starting point of his composition.
Shifting from company work to music studies
Harada first entered a regular university, then started working at a company. After about a year of work, his desire to become a composer grew stronger, so he quit his job and transferred to a specialized school to study music systematically.
Exposure to the Records in the Assistant Department's work
While studying at the vocational school, he proactively contacted a playmate composer he liked, which led to him getting an assistant job. During this period, he encountered live recording scenes, which students often find difficult, accumulating production experience.
Preparing for the first animated soundtrack
"Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku" is Harada's first animated work for which he was responsible for music. Before taking over, he would play other animations while imagining how he would compose music, practicing judging the music's entry, duration, and blank spaces.
Weakening melodies and reducing the arrangement
Harada interpreted the director's requirement to use fewer melodies, understanding it as avoiding music masking dialogue and character emotions. Following the sound director's suggestion regarding quartet size, he adopted a smaller lineup and explained in interviews that the recording had only four performers.
Versions and rewrites of the theme melody
"Hitohira" was initially conceived for female voices, but after receiving requests for a male vocal version, Harada adjusted the vocal range and rearranged the arrangement. When using this song for other soundtracks, he diffuses thematic material by changing chords, local melodies, or simply taking the chorus.
Adjust the mood during the mixing phase
"Premonition of Budding" - Initially criticized for overly emotional pushing. Harada recalled that he had already sensed this during recording and made corrections; After receiving feedback, the mixing stage further suppressed the high mood, making the song more suitable for everyday scenes.
