Chapter 80 One day the car will overturn
Even though SMAP is impeccable in terms of popularity, it always lacks a million single in terms of music. Although it is a versatile player in the art world, for the profession of idols, music is their basic to some extent.
Perhaps they have no music records that need protection, and they are not obsessed with "the best card is the best" in terms of single lyrics and music providers. Instead, they often use potential newcomers, such as the single "Celery" they released later. This song covers the song Yamazaki Masaki, a newcomer who was just an unknown at the time.
In this case, it wouldn't be very strange that Mitsuchi Iijima would put expectations on Ye Zhao. Of course, although she was a more formal invitation to the song, if the song she gave was not satisfied with her, Mitsuchi Iijima would definitely return the product without hesitation, because the degree of importance this woman valued SMAP is beyond ordinary imagination.
When it comes to writing songs for SMAP, the first reaction is of course the national divine song "The Only Flower in the World". This song with positive and catchy lyrics brought a new musical peak to SMAP in 2003, with its amazing sales and super high singing level, and even won the praise of the "second national anthem" for this song.
But will Ye Zhao really take out this song to give SMAP? Of course the answer is no. The current SMAP, at least on the surface, has no long-term contempt and no immediate worries. (Note 1) Writing songs for them at this point in time is a icing on the cake, and there is no need to use Yizhihua, a big killer weapon.
The food must be eaten bite by bite, and of course the cards must be played one by one. "The Only Flower in the World" is Ye Zhao's ace. He wants to leave this best card and then play it out at the most appropriate time.
After some consideration, the song he finally decided was another million single from SMAP, and it was their representative national work "Overseas of the Night Sky" before the flower came out. In fact, compared to "The Only Flower in the World", Ye Zhao prefers SMAP song or this song "Overseas of the Night Sky". Whether it is the melody or the artistic conception in the lyrics, this song is enough to be as good as the word "Divine Song".
In fact, this song also became SMAP's best-selling single in the 1990s with a milestone attitude, with sales of more than 1.6 million copies, and was also the second highest-selling single in their entire career (the first is National Yizhihua, of course). Takuya Kimura played the guitar figure during live performances, and I don't know how many girls and housewives she fascinated.
...
The videos performed by Kawamoto Kawamoto were sent to several copies, but Ye Zhao did not send them to several companies at the same time, but instead selected the appropriate record companies in his mind, and tried them one by one according to the priority of his inner arrangement, so as not to send them to several companies at the same time. At that time, no matter which one promised, he would offend another, which would be more than worth the loss.
Regarding the ownership of Kawamoto Kawamoto, Ye Zhao's choice is very clear, it is nothing more than the big record companies such as Sony, Universal, Ai Hui, EMI, and VICTOR. Hey, when I saw Sony, someone seemed to roll his eyes and complain that he was slapped in the face?
Speaking of this, we need to mention an old almanac that Ye Zhao only knew after joining BEING. That is, his current record company BEING, the opportunity for his initial development and growth was to become an outsourcing company of Sony Records in 1985 and help Sony produce the band TUBE. With TUBE becoming popular, BEING finally found its market position. After getting the trump card of B’z, he went from an OEM workshop to a big company that was once a big company in the 1990s.
So, if you want to not have anything to do with Sony? That doesn’t exist. As a main business covering all walks of life and field around the world, the record business can only be regarded as a sideline company. Whether it is a tangible or intangible part, it is affecting the entire industry.
...
At 2:00 p.m. on April 13, just three days apart, Ye Zhao appeared again in the headquarters building of Fuji TV. However, this time, he came to the music series "MUSIC FAIR" which will be broadcast on the 15th.
In the 1990s, the TV station made large-scale cuts on the music series, and the channels for singers to play songs were greatly reduced. When there were too many monks and too little porridge, things like playing songs on the music series in the publicity period became quite luxurious. Against this background, the single "Beautiful Flower/Sakura" was also available in all kinds of music series, which forced Ye Zhao to sigh in his heart: It turns out that the thicker the thighs, the better.
With the support of AMUSE, this single was scheduled to be released on Friday, "MUSIC STATION" on the next week, "HEY3" on Monday, and "SOUND ARENA" on Wednesday, and "Fuji TV's "Five Days before the release, and also appeared on NHK's "POPJAM" and Fuji TV's "MUSIC FAIR" for songs.
"POPJAM" may sound a bit unfamiliar, but when it comes to the name "MUSIC JAPAN" that it changed in 2007, more people will know. This music series produced by state-owned TV NHK is broadcast at 23:25 every Saturday, and is one of the mainstream traditional music series.
Another music series, "MUSIC FAIR", was launched by Fuji TV as early as 1964. It can be regarded as a domestic antique music series in RB. "MUSIC FAIR" and "POPJAM" were also broadcast on Saturday, but its broadcast time is 18:00, so there is no conflict between the two programs. Moreover, both programs adopt the form of recording. For example, the episode where Ye Shogh and Fukuyama Masaharu will appear on the 15th, "POPJAM" completed the official recording on April 12th, while the recording of "MUSIC FAIR" was officially held on the afternoon of the 13th.
In addition to Uemura Yuki, there is another person who came here with Ye Zhao.
While waiting for the elevator to land at the elevator entrance, Kawamoto Kazuyo, who could not hide his nervousness, asked in a tangled question: "Ye Zhaosang, what if I mess it up later?"
"You are a top student in piano majors, and you won't be that kind of situation." Ye Zhao comforted, "Besides, it's just a recording of the show. Even if you really make that kind of irreparable mistake, you can just start over."
"Will you be scolded by the director and co-stars in that case?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if you get scolded, just lower your head and listen. It's really not possible," Ye Zhao joked, "Just just pretend to cry."
"Hey~ Will that work?" Kawamoto Kawamoto looked like he opened the door to the new world.
"You can try it and let me know how it turns out."
Realizing that he was being fooled, Kawamoto Kawamoto frowned, "Ye Zhaosang, if you always keep talking about the train, you will be in a mess one day."
"No, after all, I'm an old driver." The elevator door slowly opened, and Ye Zhao smiled and stepped in first.
...
I brought Kawamoto Kawamoto to participate in "MUSIC FAIR" and discussed it with the program team when I received the invitation from the group. Since "Beautiful Flower/Sakura" is a double A single, I can't only promote one of them in terms of playing songs, so after negotiation, I finally decided to sing "Beautiful Flower" on "POPJAM" and "Sakura" on "MUSIC FAIR" to let the two songs be disclosed for the first time in different groups on the same day. In fact, with the current popularity and topic of the two, it is not difficult to sing two songs at a time, but the single has not been officially released and it has been exposed too many times at once, which will lose the mystery.
The music series "MUSIC FAIR" has two very famous features, namely various cooperative performances among singers, as well as the sound effects recorded by real singing + live bands, so this music series also has a touchstone for singing skills. Singers who do not have good singing skills will definitely be exposed here.
Piano is used extensively in the arrangement of "Sakura". When negotiating with the program team, Ye Zhao proposed, "Can the piano accompaniment included on-site be led by me?"
Anyway, it was not an excessive request, so the program team agreed immediately. Kawamoto Kawamoto got her first TV appearance, although she was just playing the piano accompaniment in the rear.
...
Kawamoto Kawamoto, who was following a musician, did not have his own lounge. After arriving in the backstage, Ye Zhao asked: "Do you share a lounge with me, or do you go with today's accompaniment band?"
Kawamoto Kawamoto thought about it, "It's better to be with the accompaniment band."
Ye Zhao nodded and signaled Uemura Yuki to send her to the multiplayer lounge shared by the accompaniment band.
The lounge distribution in "MUSIC FAIR" is not very particular, it is simply arranged in the fifty tones of the name. Ye Zhao's surname (KANOU) took a little advantage here, allowing him to get the lounge next to the host. Behind him are Gorimi, Sakamoto Tomomi, Fukuyama Masaharu, and a band named FLYING KIDS.
Somewhat subtle is that these four groups of guests are Ye Zhao's seniors. Fukuyama Masaji and FLYING KIDS debuted in the same year. Hiromi Gotomi and Tomi Sakamoto have a taste of seniors just by listening to their names. In order to alleviate this embarrassment, Ye Zhao quickly brought the new single he had already obtained and visited them one by one from the host.
As the ancestor of the god, Gitakawa, the most beautiful boy in his mind, is elegant and elegant. He not only accepts the single sent by Ye Zhao very kindly, but also specially gives back the single that he will also release soon, which is quite like a senior.
Chapter completed!
