Chapter 109
Speaking of music, her eyes instantly brightened, and anyone who stood in front of her could easily feel the love from the heart.

On Wednesday, January 1, ZARD's sixth single was officially released.What's different is that this is ZARD's first double-A single.

It can be released as a double-A single, whether it is the singer himself or the producer behind it, it is only because they have a certain degree of confidence in the quality of the song that they do so.

Since the release of the two singles "Embracing the Sleepless Night" and "IN MY ARMSTONIGHT" last year, the sales of four and three 10,000+ copies respectively, ZARD's popularity has gradually become popular.

There are also many fans who support them, and they also have considerable expectations for the first double-A single released by ZARD that BEING promoted.

Therefore, on the first day of its release, quite a few people lined up in front of the record store, wanting to be the first to see the style of this double-A single.

"The rhythm is very lively. After listening to it, I feel full of energy again."

"Yes, the exhaustion of the morning seems to have been swept away. Ms. Sakai's singing is really suitable for the support song."

Fans who were eager to listen to the song couldn't help but began to exchange their feelings about listening to this latest single.

"Listen to Single on the other side, this is ZAED's first double-A."

"This side is also quite powerful. It is indeed a double A, the same support song. It is rare that the themes of the two songs fit so well, but each has its own charm. I really like this single."

"Hey, look, look, the composer of the song "TOMORROW" is Akiyama-kun."

"Really, Si Guoyi! Si Guoyi! Mr. Qiushan is indeed a man of impeccable talent, and none of the gossip newspapers can be trusted."

Speaking of it, there is another interesting thing that surprised ZARD fans, that is, as a double A selection, the cover of this CD is except for the photo of Izumi Sakai in denim.

After opening the CD, there is also a photo printed on the front of TOMORROW's lyrics, which is the scene of Sakai Izumi wearing a beige sweater lying on the railing and watching the river.

This photo was taken by Kazuki Akiyama on the Kamogawa River in Kyoto.In the photo, she looks peaceful and natural, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth inadvertently infect the people who see this photo.

This is specially selected by Izumi Sakai, and it is also the only photo that is not selected from the material library taken by BEING staff.

Although the technique is a little rusty, it seems very real.This is a small benefit for fans who follow the low-key and mysterious ZARD.

93 was the first year after the bubble burst, many people were under the pressure of unemployment, and a large number of people were looking for work.It is also the time for students to take entrance exams.

Once this single was released, it aroused great resonance. In a decadent atmosphere, suddenly there was such a clear and powerful voice, like a clear stream that washed away people's exhaustion and loss.

The well-known music magazine "CD DATA" also made a review of this single.

"ZARD's latest single is also the first double-A production. It will be officially released to the public on Wednesday.

The author also bought this single right away and tried it out.I have to say that this single left a deep impression on the author.

The first is the song "Don't Give Up" written by ZARD and composed by Tetsuro Oda.If ZARD’s song style was hard rock when he debuted, then the following singles began to gradually return to J-POP.

But the rhythm of this song "Don't Give Up" is very bright, and among the few singles released by ZARD, it can be regarded as a song with a more obvious rock style.

As the best-selling songwriter Tetsuro Oda, his style is as obvious as ever.Together with the lyrics written by ZARD lead singer Sakajin Izumi, this song has become a support song full of strength.

But what attracted me to this single was the other side of "TOMORROW", which is also a single.

As for why the author was attracted, it was because when I turned to this side, the author saw the name of Akiyama Kazuki-san who was on the cusp some time ago.

That's right, the songwriters of this song "TOMORROW" are Kazuki-san Akiyama.This made the author a little surprised and a little expectant at the same time.

Surprisingly, ZARD's lyrics since its debut almost all come from Ms. Sakai herself, and even provide lyrics for other singers.

Such Ms. Sakai must be a person who attaches great importance to the expression of words, and from a certain point of view, she is also a bit "arrogant" in terms of lyrics.But it can be included in her single intact and used as the main title.

This makes the author full of curiosity and expectation for this song "TOMORROW", and the expectation does not only come from this.

This song is also the first time that Akiyama-san provided lyrics and music for other singers.We have heard his songs before, and they are basically composed and sung by himself.

Coupled with the questioning of him by some media some time ago, although Akiyama-san came to a beautiful counterattack.But after all, this is the first time his name has been seen in public since.

Although it is not in person, you can also get a glimpse of it from this song.

After the author listened to this song, there is a kind of song that is definitely not composed by Oda-san, but Ms. Sakai wrote the lyrics herself?Then I was taken aback by my own thoughts.

Then there is the deep admiration for Kazuki Akiyama. A singer-songwriter can not only sing songs that suit him, but also provide other singers with lyrics and music that suit each other's style.This alone convinced the author of Akiyama-san.

And I heard that Kazuki-san Akiyama wrote this song specially for Ms. Sakai of ZAED last year, and the purpose was to encourage Ms. Sakai.

Think about what happened to Ms. Sakai last year, think about what happened to Akiyama-san today, and these two songs, this single.I have to say that fate is unpredictable and fate is wonderful. "

As a mainstream music magazine, "CD DATA" has its comments and recommendations, as well as the topicality of the songs themselves, social background and other bonuses.

In the first week of its release, this single airborne No.30 on the ORICON chart with a sales volume of nearly 1 copies. This is the best single-week single released by ZARD since its debut.

It is also the first time to be ranked No. [-] on the O list, and as the leading sister of BEING, TIE-UP is naturally indispensable.

The two songs of this single are respectively used as the opening theme song and ending theme theme song of Fuji Television's TV series "Hundori Reiko" adapted from the manga of the same name.

In the manga "Hundori Reiko", the funny and romantic original manga around Reiko and Tetsuya is very popular, and the TV series must also be very popular.

Coupled with the melody that ZARD is good at, the lyrics actively express the heart of a girl in love.Sung by the energetic, clear and transparent voice of Izumi Sakai, it is a perfect match.

With the addition of these factors, it must be a single with great stamina that can be sold for a long time.
