The singer works with the company
Hiromi Sato debuted as a singer in 2000 and established S Corporation in 2007. After her singing activities, she gradually shifted her focus to company management and artist development.
The farewell performance at the end of 2016
On December 23, 2016, she held her retirement concert and met with supporters again on December 29. In her own article on December 31, she reviewed sixteen years of singing career and stated that she would continue working behind the scenes.
Negotiations with Uematsu Hankō's composition
When talking about "Try on!" and "Tears in snow," Uematsu said she considers the parts the singer excels at and what she is not; When writing music for Hiromi Sato, he would first seek her opinion and adjust it through mutual discussion.
Blessed Campanella: dual lead vocal design
The lead vocalists of "Fukufuku no Campanella" came from the label wanting to create a more powerful work that was different from other songs. Based on this, Uematsu used two lead vocal parts: one maintaining the high part, the other entering from the lower section, allowing the two to harmonize together and create different transitional vocal variations.
メリー! Merry-Go-Round Iterative Negotiation
Sato first signaled to Daisuke Kikuta in a voice similar to a demo, "Merry!" The arrangement, melody, and structure of the 'Merry-Go-Round' style. Other Elements Garden writers also participated in the audition, exchanging opinions and repeatedly adjusting this brighter album's title track.
She first prepared the lyrics based on the melody and the tentative arrangement, and only heard the finished accompaniment on the day of the official recording. This production was repeatedly negotiated for direction and kept going until just before release.
Preparation for singing the game song
Sato explained that before singing the game songs, he tries to play as much as possible; If the game is not yet finished, readers read the story and the materials provided by the developers, and during recording, character images are placed in the singing section. She adjusts her voice according to the world of her works, while her original songs tend to preserve more natural expression.
Humming melodies and listening feedback
While producing "Sugar Season," she hummed the melody and had members of Elements Garden write the score and provide suggestions. She specifically mentioned that the members respect the melodies she creates and maintain the original ones.
She also gives feedback to the team on whether songs are easy to sing and how they feel, even if the songs aren't performed herself, she listens to them and gives feedback.
Promise ~Memories of a Moonlit Night~'s recording and singing imagination
Hiromi Sato recalled recording the recording of the "Majisuki" theme song CD "Promise ~Memories of the Moonlit Night~" and said she imagined NANA right beside her, singing alongside her.
Personal record creation and track sequence
During the production of the 2003 song "SugarKiss," Sato proposed the theme direction for the original song and participated in writing the lyrics for the title track. Faced with game songs with diverse musical styles, she chose to intersperse original tracks themed around spring, summer, autumn, and winter, hoping to make the rich content cohesive.
In early 2007, she discussed the direction of Brilliant Moon with about twenty Broccoli employees and decided to present her then-present self. About a week later, the team adopted the title suggested by the promoters and continued producing the song.
She connects the loneliness, strength, and gentleness brought by moonlight to the image of adult women. Once the title was set, this imagery helped her develop the lyrics and complete the title track.
While writing songs, she also imagined scenes of searching for lost items in the forest and walking under the moonlight. Later, she explained this idea to the PV director, who used it to create storyboards; She recalls seeing the storyboard and feeling it matched the image she had imagined.
"Brilliant Moon" initially had no plans for an accompanying PV. The team later decided to add the PV to the limited edition and adjust the product number, releasing it in two product formats.
RiSE's struggles, images, and hometown songs
While producing her 2012 solo album "RiSE," Hiromi Sato requested a style full of energy as possible from Masato Nakayama, and she approved it after receiving the first edition. She wrote the lyrics for the title track herself, hoping to encourage herself, her hometown, and those who are striving in life.
There were originally no plans to produce a separate PV for the record. She returned to her hometown to shoot the cover photo, hoping to organize the photo under the name "RiSE"; The record company also recorded the archival video, which was later used to produce music videos.
After receiving an invitation from NHK reporters, she and Hitoshi Fujima referenced footage taken by each other to compose the score for "The Lullaby of the Kirikiri Region." The song was recorded seamlessly in a guitar singing style.
She also requested that the basic parts of "Hyokkori Hyotan Island" be preserved, while also allowing listeners to hear new arrangements. Fujima worked by comparing photos before and after the earthquake, preserving the classic brass lines and jazz swing elements, while incorporating water sounds suitable for children.
