Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 117 So terrifying

The Japanese music market in the dark star plane is the second largest music market in Asia and the fourth largest in the world after the Red Earth Continent.

If any singer wants to achieve the achievement of diamond records (1 million sales), this is a battleground for military strategists.

…………

In 1997, Zhang Xinzhe, the "Prince of Love Songs" from Yizhou Island, was already very popular in this province, and he went north to open up the Red Earth mainland market by singing the theme song "Love is Just One Word" for the animated movie "Lotus Lantern".

Now, with the help of Rolling Stone Records, the Japanese version of the single "Love Like Tide" is released in an attempt to open up the Japanese music market;

Supernova Namie Amuro was affected by the battle between Beast Rock Band and veteran king Masahiko Kondo last year. However, he released his personal music single "Can You Celebrate" and still achieved sales of 429 million, achieving a gold record achievement.

This year, of course, this super rookie wants to take revenge and clear up his former shame;
Wang Wen, the Queen of Hong Kong, became the first Chinese singer to appear on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States with her album "Impotent" last year. She has achieved both success in her love and career. Now that she is in the limelight, she inevitably wants to try the depths of the Japanese market;

Arashi, the successor of the national band launched by Johnny & Co., Captain Ono Satoshi and several young people are ambitious. If they want to reach the top, they must first defeat Takakura Bunta's Hyakushou Rock Band;
…………

In addition, a large number of overseas singers have begun to enter the Japanese market through the channels of international record companies such as Universal, Warner Music, and Aihui Records.

For example, last year, Yanfeng won Japan's NHK top ten hits in the second quarter of 1996 with the song "Big Sedan".

Of course, in addition to these powerful people in the new world, there are also small characters who come to join in the fun.

Yan Feng has also relied on this song "Big Sedan" for his whole life. Through the official propaganda resources of the Northern Province, major TV stations and radio stations took turns to bombard it, and the song spread all over the country...

As the Japanese version of the internationally renowned music magazine "Rolling Stone", it inherits the authority and professionalism of the original magazine and has become an important reference for Japanese music lovers and industry practitioners.

Looking at the people sharpening their knives, Takakura Bunta, Nakamori Akina, and Tony Futaki clearly felt the pressure.

…………

Among them, the famous music magazine "Rolling Stone Japan" gave the following evaluation:
"The Hundred Beast Soldiers are heavy and deep, the enemy is numerous, and the number is small, and the victory or defeat is determined by the thought..." (The Hundred Beast Corps is trapped in a tight siege, outnumbered and outnumbered, and the outcome is unpredictable...)
"Rolling Stone Japan" occupies an important position and influence in the Japanese music magazine industry.

…………

The industry media is not very optimistic about the momentum of the Beast Rock Band this year.

Give me a hug, give that one a hug,
Holding the moon, it smiled and bent over

Give me a hug, give that one a hug,
Carrying my sister on the sedan chair...

In 1997 in the Dark Star Plane, it was hailed by Japanese music critics as the "Black Ship Incident" in the local music field.

....................................

It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it.

Including Elton John, Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys and others, they are also eyeing the Japanese market, hoping to achieve enlightenment by killing the gods and reach the top of the Japanese market.

Although the top ten hits of this NHK quarter bear the name of NHK, they are actually a pheasant award. As long as you have money, you can buy it...

…………

Of course, except for the talent in music and money.

Yanfeng was able to work in a mature music market like Japan mainly because of the quota quota provided by his father to study abroad for literature and art in Northern Province. Belongs to the national team.

Yanfeng's original name is Hu Feng. His father, Hu Yan, was a drama actor at the Fengtian Repertory Theater and served as the director of the Fengtian Cultural Bureau in the 90s.

His grandson Hu Zun likes to play the little pipa player and the little guzheng player in the Chinese orchestra. It may be a family tradition that was planted at that time...

…………

Manager Keiko Kanda was surprised when he heard about the national team like Yanfeng.

But Takakura Bunta felt accustomed to it.

What does the director of the Fengtian Cultural Bureau of the northern province count for?
....................................

On May 5, "PLANET" released its first song "I Will Die Even If I Die" and officially started to build momentum on the charts.

Because there is still some time before the album is released, Tony Ermu's singing skills are average, and he usually plays the role of guitarist.

Therefore, Sony did not exert any efforts immediately, but only invested normal resources to help the ranking.

However, even so, after the release of "I Will Die Even If You Die", it quickly became popular due to the extremely high popularity of the Beasts rock band and its easy-to-spread melody and lyrics.

On the fourth day after the song was released, it reached the top ten on the Oricon Chart, Billboard Japan, Oricon Chart, Nippon TV Pop Music Chart, etc., and even reached the top five on some charts.

A week later, "Even If You Die" began to spread in the streets, and record sales also soared.

Although it has not yet reached the top of the list, it has already entered the TOP10 on the Oricon Chart. It strives to complete its mission and build momentum for the new album of Beasts Rock Band.

…………

It is worth mentioning that so far, apart from Baishou, there is a new song "I Will Die Even" on the major charts.

The other four old songs "Kill That Tokyo Man", "Clouds Turn into Rain", "Miracle Reappears" and "Heart Made" are still frequent visitors on major music charts in Japan.

Among them, "Heart Made", with Akina Nakamori as the lead singer, can still maintain such popularity despite the repeated impact of new songs from all walks of life, occupying the TOP30 of the Oricon chart.

This song has been widely praised in major music magazines such as "Rolling Stone" (Rolling Stone), "NME" (New Music Express), "Recording Arts", "Music Daily" and other major music magazines.

"Angina, who is only twenty-nine years old, can actually sing with this kind of feeling..."

"Only those who have been truly alone can understand that feeling."

"Whether you are hypocritical or angry, willful or indifferent, she will always be there silently, waiting to comfort you and inspire you with her emotional voice."

"People come in all kinds of shapes, come and go, good and bad, but in the end it won't matter..."

…………

Cumulative sales of "Heart Made" totaled 7500 million copies, making it a platinum record miracle.

The last song that could stay on the charts for a year was "Blue Lightning", the first single of the 5-member group SMAP.

At this point, the Beast Corps is so terrifying!
