China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 163: Wreaking havoc on the Japanese music scene
After exchanging a few words, everyone moved to the hotel's conference room.

During this visit to Japan, Lu Yuan still has a busy schedule. In a total of one week, he needs to attend four book signings, a fan meeting, three TV programs, and several radio announcements.

There are three major TV stations in my childhood, Fuji TV, NHK TV and TBS TV, each with one program.

Duan Shui Master·Lu is officially launched.

A bowl of water is level.

The fan meeting will be held at the Yoyogi National Arena in Tokyo.

Yoyogi Arena is one of the most prestigious sports venues in Tokyo. It was first built in the 60s and is the swimming/diving arena for the Tokyo Olympics.

After the Olympics, it was changed to a venue for ice hockey competitions.

The venue can accommodate 1 people.

Famous singers such as Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro have all held meet-and-greets at Yoyogi Arena.

In fact, the venue for the meeting was originally arranged to be held at Kojiri Budokan. The seats at the Budokan were similar to those at Yoyogi Arena.

The regular number of people is about 7-8000. If you add extra seats, the number will be about 1.

But Boss Lu didn’t like the name of the martial arts gym, so he changed the venue of the meeting.

Although in his childhood, Budokan performances were a symbol of the pinnacle of Japan's music scene, Lu Yuan didn't care about this record at all.

He is not an artist in the entertainment industry in his childhood.

He hated the Bushido spirit.

The next day.

After resting for the night, Lu Yuan immediately went to NHK TV station to participate in the recording of Music Japan.

MJ is the flagship music variety program under NHK TV station. Anyone who can appear on this program is a big name.

The host of the show, Mari Sekine, is the single daughter of the well-known actor Qin Sekine in her childhood. The deputy MC is also the popular electronic music girl group Perfume in her childhood.

Speaking of which, Lu Yuan has a little relationship with Perfume, and their recording contract is also under Universal Music.

When chatting yesterday, Koike Kazuhiko even joked that the three members of the electronic music perfume group Perfume are all his little crushes.

Boss Lu’s new album contains a lot of electricity.

They like it very much.

NHK is also one of the TV stations with the best relationship with Universal, so Lu Yuan dedicated himself to MJ's program for the first time in his childhood.

Today, the person in charge of leading the team is no longer Koike Kazuhiko. He is the president of the Universal Little Life Division after all. A small matter like leading the team will definitely not be his turn.

The Global Division sent Marketing Director Shimada Idai. On the way to the program team, Shimada promptly announced the good news.

"Lu Sang, in yesterday's Oricon Daily List, Lu Sang once again topped the list."

"Congratulations!"

With that said, Shimada Idai handed the folder to Lu Yuan's hand.

When I turned it over, he was the first and second person on the singles chart.

No.1: "Counting Stars", 45755
No.2: "Hall Of Fame", 42133
No.3: あっ, ども.おひさしぶりです，33628（GREEEEN）

album chart.

No.1: LU YUAN, 31777
No.2: Shame combination, 14316
No.3, Arashi Band, 9889
Shameful Heart is a super popular idol boy group that has exploded in Xiaoli this year. They released a single in March and ranked second on the Oricon song chart on the first day.

Second only to Ayumi Hamasaki, and surpassing the ZARD band with Izumi Sakai as its core.

The single released by the ZARD band was not only blessed by national singer Izumi Sakai, but also by the movie version of Detective Conan.

With the blessing of double BUFF, they were ashamed of losing to the newcomer group. As soon as the news came out, it shattered a lot of people's glasses.The day after the single was released, Shame Group surpassed Ayumi Hamasaki and successfully counterattacked to win the championship.

Now, two months have passed since the release of Shame EP, and they can still maintain sales figures of 1+ and close to [-] per day, which shows how terrifying their popularity is.

"Minister Shimada, I would like to ask, is this data considered good or bad?"

After returning the folder, Lu Yuan asked about his doubts. He was indeed not familiar with the music scene in his childhood.

He had no impression of groups like Shame, including GREEEEN, Universal's strongest newcomer group.

The only ones he knew were A-list queens like Ayumi Hamasaki, Takamitsu Uda, and Miyuki Nakajima.

You mean male singer?
Sorry, I'm really unfamiliar.

"It's very strong!"

Shimada Idai replied sternly: "Lu Sang, you have never been to our country before. Although many people know you, you also know that the effect of announcing and not publicizing is different."

The national self-esteem is still very strong in Xiaozhi. Boss Lu did not announce the news about the future before, and many people felt that they were slighted.

Yesterday, as soon as Lu Yuan's speech at the airport was reported, the favorability of Xiaoli fans towards him gradually increased.

The foreign idol you chase learns your native language for you, just say you are not impressed, right?

Moving?

Then don't support it with all your strength.

Therefore, yesterday's sales exploded, twice as much as the super popular group Shame.

What's more, Lu Yuan's first album focuses on inspiration.

Inspirational songs have always been a favorite among fans of Little Lives. In the 90s, Izumi Sakai became popular with Little Lives with the song "Don't Give Up", which is one of the best proofs.

The inspirational songs released by Miyuki Nakajima, Mika Nakajima and Ayumi Hamasaki have all moved the whole of Japan.

However, unlike America, the sales of the song "Not Afraid" seemed a bit acclimated in the early days.

In the new issue of the American Billboard chart, "Not Afraid" bucked the trend and returned to the top of the list, firmly suppressing Coldplay's new single "viva la vida".

Last week, Coldplay's new album was released and sold 72 copies in its first week, which was [-] more than the Eagles' first week sales last year.

With such high sales, the title song of the album "viva la vida" has never been compared to the song "not afraid".

This was not only beyond the expectations of American music critics, but also by Lu Yuan himself.

Although "Not Afraid" is one of Eminem's three most famous songs, it topped the singles chart in the first week of its release.

But as an old song released for more than 2 months, it is indeed a bit surprising that it can overpower the hit single "viva la vida".

Looking back on my childhood, Lu Yuan’s new album has been released.

The single sales of "Counting Stars", "Hall Of Fame", "Something just like this", and "Sold Out" are all much higher than those of "Not Afraid".

Of course, if analyzed carefully, this phenomenon is not surprising.

Xiaoli is not a multi-racial country, and the contradictions of racial discrimination in the country are not prominent enough. Anti-racial discrimination songs do not perform well, which is reasonable.

Just as Lu Yuan was on his way to the TV station, various media reported on yesterday's Oricon daily rankings on Yahoo, the largest portal website in his childhood.

"The super popular idol star has no power to fight back"

"The terrifying suppressive power of Asia's Emperor Superstar continues to dominate the charts!" 》

"The Great Crisis of the Century - The King of Chinese Summer Wrecks the Japanese Music Scene"

"We are vulnerable, all musicians should collectively apologize to the people!" 》
