Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 268 "I'm Coming"

"June 6th, Luo Quan's new album!"

This is a hot search that detonated Twitter in Japan.

Japanese fans have already started looking forward to it more than ten days ago.

And Luo Quan gave the answer to the eagerly awaited fans on the third day after returning to China after "Lord of the Rings" was finished.

This is her second album, and it is also an anniversary album. The name of the album is "I'm Coming", and the official release date is July [-].

Rarely, Luo Quan did not accompany this album to explain the mental journey of creating it.

But in fact, there is nothing to explain. The first meaning is that one year ago today, she officially debuted and started her career as a singer.

And the second album is an album that connects the past and the future. It can be regarded as not forgetting the original intention, and there is a sense of commemoration in it.

The second level of meaning is the quote from Caesar's famous saying: "I come, I see, I conquer!"

This is Luo Quan's declaration of her status to the Asian music scene. With her popularity and record sales, she fully deserves the title of Asian Music Queen!
There is no need to mention youth, seniority, no matter what kind of circle ranks, it all depends on strength in the end, and Luo Quan's strength is absolutely beyond doubt.

The new album and new song will be released three times in a row, respectively completing the three tasks proposed by fans on Twitter.

The title of the song is out:
"Spring はゆく (Spring Passing)" original singer: Aimer"

""Meng Jiangnu" (recommended cover version: Lingjiu daze)"

"Awakening" (Original Author: Toshihiko Sato)"

From the title of the song, it can be seen that it fits well with the requirements of the fans. As for the song, I believe that the fans who keep refreshing their screens on Twitter will give their comments soon.

This time, Sony still chose to sell singles on online music platforms, first earning a wave of digital album money at low prices.

Once the song is released, let the printing house start making the record immediately, and then sell the physical album offline.

There will be a recent photo of Luo Quan and a message postcard to make up for the regret of not having a MV.

It is a well-known fact in the industry that Luo Quan does not shoot MVs, there is no other reason, it is purely because of laziness.

Because of this, Luoquan's physical records are generally cheaper than their counterparts.

And fans still listen to this set. The quality of the songs is so high, and they are sold cheaper than others, which is simply the conscience of the Japanese music scene.

I don't know if Luo Quan blushed when he heard about these comments.

In fact, in the two days since returning to China, she has already selected ten songs for the new album, but it will take two or three days to make all of them.

Listen, is this speaking human language?

Some singers deliberate on a line of lyrics, and they may not be able to get it right for two or three days.

And it takes three days for her to finish an album.

The external network is already boiling, but there is not much movement in the country, and it is only a hot search on station B.

But it's normal, because Weibo is now cooperating with Penguin to vigorously promote Girls' Generation's album of the same name.

Luo Quan's new album is also promoted, but the intensity is obviously not as good as the former.

It's not that Luo Quan has "fallen out of favor", it's that the girl group Girls' Generation is too popular.

Although the first season of "Chuang Shao" is over, the girls who came out of this show have just started their idol career.

The fans of the nine hottest girls are all integrated together, no matter how many conflicts and verbal battles they have had before.

Now, their idols have become a whole, sharing all resources, one prospers and one loses.

Except for some Du Wei fans with clear brain circuits, normal fans will not continue to attack other members of the girl group at this time.

What we have to do at this time is to play various charts to keep Girls' Generation popular during this short period of silence.

In a few days, the debut album will be released, and that is the main battlefield for them to fight and spend money.

Only with performance can the company be satisfied and continue to support Girls' Generation.

The more popular the group is, the more topical each member in the group will be, and the fans will naturally be willing to spend money with you.

Then, it will enter a virtuous circle.

This is a law of rice circles that has been proven many times.

Before "Chuang Shao", many girl groups who debuted in variety shows made a lot of money for the companies behind them with their debut album 9.

And Girls' Generation is much better than these girl groups, and the popularity is even worse.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Girls' Generation has doubled the amount of money earned by those girl groups!
Especially since this is still an album produced by Luo Quan.

Therefore, in order to maximize profits, Penguin will naturally focus on Girls' Generation this time. After all, Luo Quan is not their artist, and Girls' Generation is Penguin's only girl group.

It can only be said that the release of the two albums happened to coincide, and Luo Quan was also helpless.

If nothing else, the domestic sales of "I'm Coming" will definitely be smashed by "Girls' Generation".

Except for the kind of singers who have exploded in popularity, no one can compete with traffic stars in their gold-absorbing ability, let alone the ability of Girls' Generation's popularity and strength.

If it was Jay Chou in the previous life, she should be able to do it, but she feels that she is currently in Huaxia, and I am afraid that she is far from the appeal of Jay Chou in the previous life.

Of course, this is only domestically. If it is placed in Japan or the United States, it will be another look.

Anyway, after suffering the Waterloo of "18", she no longer had any hope for the domestic market.

Even if the album "Love" sold a good score of 830 million and [-], it didn't change her mind.

But she also thinks clearly that it is OK for songs in any language to sell well in that area, and few people can sell well in multiple languages ​​around the world.

Her "Love" barely manages to do that because it's in English.

If it is a Japanese album, I am afraid there is no such possibility.

The time to unlock the song is coming soon, and fans can't wait to pay immediately and click to play.

After listening to the three songs, many people showed disappointed eyes.

The songs are all very nice, but I always feel that I don't have the feeling of joy when I listened to those two albums a year ago.

To put it bluntly, in fact, the quality of the song has declined.

Immediately there were comments on Twitter:
"The song is actually not bad, but I always feel that it is not as good as before."

"With a perfect score of [-], I can give [-] points to "The Ceremony of Coming of Age", but this time, I can only give it [-] points."

"If Luo Quan was asked by the standards of a year ago, these songs have actually declined sharply."

"'Awakening' is the only song that I think is okay."

"Keep waiting, maybe there will be surprises later?"

It can be seen that fans are not very satisfied with these three new songs.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment when expectations cannot be met.

Fortunately, Luo Quan had accumulated too much word-of-mouth before, and the fans tolerated her high enough, so they only complained softly.

Luo Quan had already expected this point, there are only so many famous songs, and there are only so many good melodies.

If good music could be created infinitely, the world's music scene would not be as weak as it is now.

Besides, she has to take care of fans of all ages, because not only young people listen to her songs, but also many middle-aged people.

Style is a more difficult point to balance.

And this time, most of the people who complained online were older netizens.

The three new songs are all trendy pop music, young people will definitely like them, but older people may not.

But even so, the three new songs still each provide more than one million impressive data, crushing any singer except Luo Quan.

On the various charts, a string of song titles came down, and the singer's name was Luo Quan. The three new songs quickly entered the top three among fans playing.

Although the rating of the album dropped slightly, how could Luo Quan be unprepared.

Meals have to be eaten bite by bite, and songs have to be played one by one.

Three days later, the fourth new song of "I'm Coming" was released:
"Song of the setting sun"
ps. The original singer Masahiko Kondo is a scumbag who is once in ten lifetimes, but this song is really good..."

This is a relatively retro love song written to satisfy the fourth comment. Netizens who complained about the new album before also maintain relatively high expectations at this time.

They believed in Luo Quan and would not let them down forever.

And at night when the ban on the song was lifted, just hearing the guitar accompaniment at the beginning of the song for a few seconds lifted their spirits.

"It feels...back...everything comes back!"

This song did not disappoint their elderly fans. It has a strong style of Japanese songs from the last century, singing, melody, and lyrics, and every detail is perfect. Feel like a golden age!
Reviews for the album flipped again:
"This is what I've been waiting for!"

"Listening to this song, I feel much younger. It's a strange experience."

Restoration of word of mouth is that simple.

If it was placed in China, with Luo Quan's performance before, I am afraid that many people would come out and say that she is exhausted.

Fortunately, in Japan, the public's attitude towards her is not towards ordinary stars at all.

In the national survey of people most wanted to see, ranking second only to the emperor is not built.

The fourth song also achieved a total of 210 million sales within three hours after its release, and broke through 400 million in the early hours of the morning, directly surpassing the cumulative three-day sales of the previous new songs.

The next day, Luo Quan's fifth song was released:

"だんご Big Family (Danzi Big Family) by. Chata"

This is the last task given to her by netizens, and it is also the best one that Luo Quan feels she has accomplished.

Maybe it's not retro in style, but it's her favorite song.

The song was released to rave reviews.

There is no one who would not like such a nice, lovely and warm song.

Some manga hits and fans even created a black-and-white manga featuring various dumplings on the third day after the song was released.

The painting style is very cute, and the plot basically fits the lyrics. Although it is relatively simple, it has received considerable popularity.

It has received millions of clicks on the comic website, and it is said that an animation production company is ready to buy this idea and make an animation adaptation.

Luo Quan didn't expect that his song would have the chance to be adapted into an IP.

If it can develop into a level like Pokémon, Hello Kitty, it will be too powerful.

Of course, it’s good to think about it. Those two are the top ten giants in the global IP list all year round. It is too difficult to become a level with them.

The release of the new album is here, which is half done.

Although the reviews were a little bit negative at first, it didn't last long and turned around quickly.

Judging from the current fans' comments, although there are still a lot of voices such as "It's not as good as "The Ceremony of Coming of Age"", everyone basically agrees that this is a pretty good album.

If she wasn't Luo Quan's work, the evaluation could even be higher.

Among them, "Song of the Sunset" has become a top KTV hit, and "Awakening" has received applications from many youthful animations. "Danzi Big Family" is about to spin off an animation.

Such achievements are rarely achieved by singers now.

And this is only half of the song, and it was created to complete the task of netizens.

Such a creation with a specified theme is definitely not as good as free play.

So the quality of the next five songs may be even better!

Just over a month ago, Luo Quan just swept this year's "Japan Record Awards", and won various awards, directly breaking the records of the Record Awards.

And now that the new album is halfway released, public opinion in Japan has risen again. Fans think that if these songs are not awarded at the Japan Record Awards next year, then the judges must have collected money!
And many musicians who have served as judges have also expressed their praise for some songs in this album.

According to this posture, when the remaining five songs come out, Luo Quan will win all the awards in the next "Japan Record Awards", it will be a flea on the bald head-it is obvious.

Even if she releases such an album every year in the future, even if the quality drops, as long as it doesn't drop too far, with her nationality, I am afraid that the scene of the record awards every year will become her show.

At this moment, many Japanese singers finally understand the meaning of the title of her album.

I come, I see, I conquer!
Luo Quan has already conquered the Japanese music scene, so where will the next step be to conquer?
Asia or the world, no one knows.

But Luo Quan didn't think so far for the time being, she just wanted to do the things in front of her first.

Just like the analysis of online fans, the quality of the remaining five songs in the album is better than the first five.

On July [-]th, the title of the sixth song of the "I'm Coming" album was announced:
"いつも何度で(Together Forever) Original Singer: Yumi Kimura"

I can't tell what style it is from the name, but when the name was announced, Luo Quan also sent a ten-second audio, which was a humming so gentle that it would make one's bones crumble.
