Koshikawa's House Kitchen, Elffire City's Suburban Area.
06:07 AM, January 26th.
"How was the first day at the new job yesterday, Mom?" Anna asked suddenly with curious
Mina also looked at her mother with a curious look.
Kyo's eyes lit up a little when she heard the question before she replied, "Yesterday, we mainly got to know the company. And I have to say that the studio is enormous! Plus, the whole place looks so stylish and modern!" She exclaimed.
"Really? Where is it?" Mina asked curiously.
Kyo replied where the studio was, and it was only then that they remembered that there was a big construction site in that place some years ago.
"But the thing that impressed me the most was their music studio. You can think of any musical instrument and you can find it there! And each instrument is the best of the best in the market. The other facilities of the music studio are all state of the art as well. I think the studio must have invested millions just in that music studio." Kyo said with a sigh of appreciation.
"Wow!" Anna and Mina exclaimed at the same time.
They couldn't imagine who would be so rich to invest so much in an animation studio.
"I read some articles about the animation industry these last few days. And I read that the majority of the animation studios' headquarters are located in Sakura City. So, why did this studio open here in Elffire City?" Mina asked suddenly.
"I didn't know about that." Kyo replied with a thoughtful look, "But yesterday, we had a brief meeting with the boss of the studio. He looked so young! I bet that he barely was a couple of years older than you two."
Mina and Anna's eyes shone with curiosity when they heard that, "Tell us more."
"Just as we arrived at the studio, we met him. And he gave us a few compositions that we should practice during the day. He said that he would evaluate our progress in it today. And by the way he talked, I could see he was highly knowledgeable about music. He had a certain noble air around him that I can only describe from people who hold a lot of authority. Plus, he was not the only young one among the bosses of the studio. The Head Director of the studio was a young lady that barely passed 20 years old..." Kyo proceeded to tell everything she saw during her tour around the studio to her daughters.
The mother and daughter trio gossiped as they had their hearty breakfast.
But at some point, the girls finished eating and they had to climb upstairs to their rooms so they could get ready for work.
Kyo also quickly finished cooking the girls' bentos before getting ready for work as well.
It was 06:50 AM when the three of them entered the family car.
Kyo drove the car out of the garage and headed to the place where the girls worked part-time. The girls worked in a Coffee House/Bookstore. They loved working there because sometimes they could perform their songs for the clients there, plus the pay was good enough for the two of them.
15 minutes later, Kyo arrived at the front of the Bookstore.
"Good luck in your new job!"
"Don't forget to juicy gossip to tell us later!"
Kyo laughed at her daughters' antics as she said, "Goodbye honey, don't forget your bento. If something happens call me."
Just like that, the daughter duo and mother bade farewell before continuing with their day. Because of the traffic, Koshikawa only was able to arrive at the studio at a little over 07:30 AM. After she showed the security officer the ID that she received yesterday from the studio, she was finally able to park her car in the garage reserved for employees.
Because of the enormity of the building, she got lost a few times on her way toward the music studio. It was only after asking a few people along the way, that she was able to finally able to arrive at her workplace.
'Finally!' She exclaimed to herself when she finally saw the music studio, 'It seems I gonna have to memorize the ways inside the building'.
Because she got lost on the way, she only arrived at the music studio at 07:46 AM, and most of the orchestra members had already arrived when she got there.
"Good morning, everyone!" Koshikawa greeted everyone with a smile.
"Good morning, boss!" Everyone greeted her back with smiles on their faces as well.
For them, Koshikawa was the person who kept their dream alive during all these years, so they all had a special appreciation for her. Without her guiding them in the orchestra all these years, they would never be good enough to receive the proposal of their dreams. Now they could work the job of their dreams, they could be musicians!
That's why everyone deeply respected her.
"Did you guys study the compositions from yesterday?" Koshikawa asked as she placed her things aside.
Just like that, everyone started expressing their own views and experiences in the compositions. After years of working in the orchestra, they all had a good base of musical theory, so the discussion was extremely productive. And with Koshikawa's expertise, their discussions were even more productive. Each person who arrived also joined the discussion until everyone arrived and the whole orchestra was having this impromptu meeting.
This was the scenario that Theo saw when he arrived at the music studio, around 50 people discussing the best ways of performing the compositions that Theo gave them yesterday. The curious thing was that although 50 people were discussing, it wasn't messy at all. Each one had a different and interesting point of view that added a new perspective to the discussion. Theo noticed that everyone had a good base knowledge of music theory. And he was even more impressed by the knowledge that Koshikawa exuded in her words. He could see that she was a super musical expert!
Theo was extremely happy that such an expert was the chief of his orchestra.
It was only after observing their discussion for a while longer that he made his presence
"Boss!" Koshikawa said with a polite smile.
"You don't have to call me that way, you can call me Theo." Theo said with a laugh, "Good
Everyone greeted him back with respectful expressions.
"How was the practice yesterday?" Theo asked, "How are you guys getting used to the new workplace?"
"We practiced the compositions for most of yesterday, and we could see that..." Koshikawa started explaining everything with knowledgeable terms.
Just like that Theo and Koshikawa talked for almost 10 minutes about the compositions.
It was through this talk that Koshikawa and Theo were able to see that the other person was extremely knowledgeable about music.
Their eyes shine with excitement about meeting a person who loved music as much as
It could be said that they hit off just like that.
Just like that, Theo spent the rest of the day explaining his views about the soundtrack to
The soundtrack was the right track!
