Chapter 57: Blessings and Disasters (1)
Ps. Thank you to the book friends for the book coins!
Unlike the critical acclaim in China, the Japanese version of the second track of "Coming of Age", "ヤキモチ(jealous)", did not receive a very strong response in Japan.
Of course, this is compared to "First Love". The number of plays and discussions of the second song still far exceeds that of all songs in the same period, second only to "Firat Love".
Perhaps Luo Quan has cultivated the taste of the audience, and the public is not very accepting of the quality of this second song. What they want is a song of the same quality as "First Love".
This is indeed a bit difficult. Inspiration for good songs is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Songs of the level of "First Love" are rare in several years. It is simply a fantasy for a capital city to reach this level.
Moreover, the quality of the song "ヤキモチ" is actually not bad. In today's Japanese music scene, it is definitely a song well above the average level. It is more than enough to be the hit song of some second-rate singers.
But for Luo Quan, this work seems a bit mediocre. After all, the Japanese music industry now regards her as a talented singer. If she creates songs of this level in the future, it will be an out-and-out setback. !
This statement may sound harsh, but this is indeed a common view in the Japanese music scene.
A scumbag student who has been scoring 20 or 30 points for a long time will definitely attract a lot of exclamations and praises if one day he scores 60 points. He will feel that he has finally turned around and learned how to study.
And if a top student who has scored 100% in the exam for a long time gets 90% in the exam one day, he will definitely face far more blame than the praise that a poor student will get.
This is human nature. It is often very lenient towards the weak and extremely harsh towards the outstanding.
Luo Quan is now such an outstanding person who is treated harshly. After "ヤキモチ" came out, although there were still many voices of praise in the comment area, there were also many voices of disappointment.
Fortunately, negative comments are basically invisible. The idea that she has exhausted her talents after just one song has little market in Japan. After all, there are eight more songs to follow, so it is not too late to make an evaluation after listening to it.
Although the overall response to the second song is not particularly good, the popularity brought by the title song is so high that for the first time, it has no negative reviews on the entire Internet, and everyone who has listened to it says it is good.
Therefore, the pre-sales of "Coming of Age Ceremony" are still rising, the playback volume of these two songs is still firmly at the top of the major music charts, and the discussion about Luo Quan and the new album on the Internet is still very enthusiastic.
And Luo Quan did not disappoint those who were looking forward to her. At 20:00 on August 14, the trial version of the third song "そばにいるね (Stay with Me)" of "Coming of Age" was officially launched. Ten minutes later , word of mouth exploded again.
When this song was released in its original time and space, it would break into the top three of the Oricon chart. It sold 450,000 copies in the first week. It became the weekly number one on the Oricon chart in the second week and stayed on the chart for eleven weeks!
To this day, this song is still the best-selling single by a Japanese female artist and has even been certified by Guinness World Records.
As soon as such a song of explosive quality was released, it caused a sensation no less than when "First Love" was released.
No one dares to dispute the title of a genius singer. Music magazines have overwhelmingly praised him. The pre-sale volume of "Rite of Passage" has reached 890,000, which continues to break the record of Asian record pre-sale volume.
All kinds of praises and recognitions have become so intensive that it can make people's ears feel numb. These days, Luo Quan's mobile phone has been almost non-stop. They are all calls from advertisers and TV stations, asking her to be an endorser or appear in a variety show. The price is whatever you want.
When Luo Quan originally posted the video on YouTube, she kept this phone number in order to facilitate others to contact her to discuss business cooperation.
Later, after signing a recording contract with Sony, I deleted it. I didn’t expect that in such a short period of time, it would be tricked by someone and then sold.
Fortunately, this person has some bottom line and did not put it directly online. If her fans knew about it, she would probably receive tens of thousands of calls a day!
Because the start of school is approaching, Luo Quan has turned down all endorsements and variety shows. Now that she has enough fame and money, there is no need to spend time on such minutiae.
If it is a big-budget movie or TV series, you can still consider it. However, in recent years, Japanese movies have not made a big impact in the international arena. They have long lost the glory of leading Asia in the last century. However, Japanese TV series are still developing, and they will make a few steps every year. A popular style in Asia.
The pursuit of Luo Quan on the Internet has reached a crazy level. All the posts are praising her and all the comments are bragging about her. If this phenomenon is placed in China, it is very abnormal and will only make people contact her. Two words, that is flattery.
Whoever God wants to perish, he first makes him mad. But this law obviously does not apply to Luo Quan, because judging from her current performance, she definitely deserves such an evaluation.
The release of the fourth song "キセキ(Miracle)" brought the carnival to a successful conclusion.
The status of this song in the original time and space is similar to that of the third song. The latter is the number one record-selling single, while the former is the number one download in the history of the Oricon chart, and is very popular among young people in Japan, year after year. Its name is on the KTV hot song list, and it is an undisputed national-level single.
Luo Quan, who has continuously released songs of this level, has been raised to the pinnacle of young singers. Among the new generation of Japanese musicians, no one can compare with her at least in terms of creative ability. The only ones who can be at the same level as her are probably the best from the Mesozoic generation. several female singers.
"The only difference between Luo Quan and Dawu Diva is that she hasn't held a large-scale concert yet."
This is the opinion expressed by Onodera Ryusuke on Twitter, which has been unanimously recognized by passers-by, fans, and peers.
In Japan, if a female singer has not held a concert, her career as a singer must have failed. Concerts are the greatest reflection of a singer's singing skills and box office appeal, and are also known as the touchstone of a singer!
Many singers' songs may be very popular on the Internet, with countless covers, but when a concert is held, the number of people who come can't even fill the first row of seats, and the number of fans is not as large as the security guards.
This kind of situation happens a lot every year, and it sometimes arouses ridicule from people who eat melons.
However, it is basically impossible for these situations to happen to Luo Quan, because quite a few fans on Luo Quan's Twitter are asking when she will hold a concert, and they also said that as long as it is held, they will bring their families to support it.
There are tens of thousands of similar comments, with even more likes, which shows how much Luo Quan’s fans are looking forward to their idol’s concert.
Luo Quan's answer disappointed fans:
"School is about to start, and academic work is more important. Let's wait until the winter vacation to talk about the concert."
As soon as these words came out, fans were filled with grief.
Ps. There will be a small climax next, which needs to be carefully thought out. There is only this chapter today.
