The emergence of the phenomenal newcomer Mai Kuraki made this year's music scene suddenly become interesting when I thought it was about to pass.

As for the fact that because of her appearance, the "formula opponent" felt frustrated, and even lost his fighting spirit for a while, Ye Zhao couldn't know about it.

However, with Mai Kuraki coming back and defeating him, this was originally an expected part. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a situation will occur.

He also doesn't need to confirm from his opponent, time will naturally send the answer to him.

Young geniuses have always been sought after, and the fact that they should become famous as soon as possible is vividly reflected in the Japanese entertainment industry.

The "genius" here does not only include creative talent. For example, Namie Amuro, who also became famous at a young age and had reached the peak of her life at the age of nineteen, showed the same talent as a genius.

And there are so many girls in Japan, not just any sixteen-year-old girl, who can sing a good song to her, making people feel the aura of a star, from this point of view, sixteen-year-old Mai Kuraki is also a "genius".

The so-called talents are all sides.

It's just that, in contrast, the most direct genius that can be felt by people is still creative talent. And the one who vividly showed "Grandpa Enjoying Food" was a fifteen-year-old girl.

When Mai Kuraki was on fire, she was also shocked, as well as EMI records.

Because, they are preparing for the debut of a new female singer, she is one year younger than Mai Kuraki, she is a famous family, as early as the age of seven, she formed a group called "U3" with her parents and parents, and began to release records at the age of ten.

has excellent songwriting and songwriting, coupled with a family with a well-known musician background, at least on the music road, it can be called the real "chosen son".

Now, at the suggestion of my father, I signed EMI Records and prepared for my official debut in Japan, and my father was in charge of all the contract matters.

That's right, this fifteen-year-old girl is the legendary Hikaru Utada.

As for why Hikaru Utada can't be signed under his hands, I don't think I need to explain it anymore, right?

Hikaru Utada's debut is in the preparatory stage, and EMI's producers are full of praise for her talent and are ambitious to launch her. And with the help of her parents' connections, the lineup that participated in her debut production is also all famous producers at home and abroad.

This kind of life is really worthy of being "jealous of life (jealous life)".

Mai Kuraki's debut made Emi feel like she had been snatched away. However, this is not a bad thing.

In the long run, this trend brought about by Mai Kuraki will not only affect the strategies of the next record companies, but will also benefit those who come after it.

Among them, Hikaru Utada is naturally also included.

Emi doesn't think Hikaru Utada's talent is inferior to the team behind Mai Kuraki, and thinks that there is something in her that no girl singer has ever had.

Therefore, even if a super newcomer has appeared now, it has not lowered the expectations of her, on the contrary, it has also strengthened the sense of expectation.

Not only that, some of the techniques that Ye Zhao used when he operated the launch of Mai Kuraki can now be used as a reference to enrich and improve the existing debut plan in their hands.

In the original world, Mai Kuraki debuted after Hikaru Utada, and it would be incorrect to say that her results did not borrow Hikaru Utada's "light", and she herself was blessed by the huge tide set off by Hikaru Utada.

It's like going back further, Hikaru Utada can be regarded as a blessing from the RNB trend brought about by MISIA.

But now, it's just the other way around.

For Ye Zhao, even if Hikaru Utada can't be used by him, even if he may become Mai Kuraki's fierce rival in the future, this matter is not worth his frustration or anxiety.

On the contrary, healthy competition is conducive to progress, and it is also good to have a clear "formula opponent".

The "Light Step War" that fans talked about in later generations, although Ayumi Hamasaki lost in sales for a while in the end, both sides eventually sold more than 4 million copies, who lost and who won?

A win-win without a doubt. And that's the power of competition, and topics are something that can never be missing in the entertainment world.

Compared with the complexity of the "adult world", what is more interesting may be Hikaru Utada, who has not yet debuted, and she has not affected her mentality at all because she was robbed of the first start.

On the contrary, when I was on vacation, I went out of my way to buy this record to listen to.

Later, on the way from her home to the recording studio, she said to her father, who was driving, "That Akira-san is really interesting." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. She nodded, "I'd love to meet someone like that." ”

Before you know it, the wind has changed.

During this period, Kazuaki's wedding was held as scheduled, and Sakai Izumi, as the eldest sister, naturally would not be absent.

The wedding was not extravagant, and the guests present were also relatives and friends of both parties. He Ming is an out-and-out flash marriage this time, and after feeling it, he hit it off, so hot that he didn't even have the patience to wait.

Sakai Izumi didn't expect that his younger brother, who had always been silent, would have such intense emotional fluctuations in his heart.

But she also didn't think her brother's decision was taken lightly. In other words, being able to determine her own mind when she met made her realize the unknown romantic feelings in Heming's heart.

The silent and somewhat shy brother who used to have her impression has a new side.

When she told Ye Zhao about this idea, Ye Zhao said that she "knows how to discover the advantages of others." ”

"Really?"

"Well, that's your merit too. At that time, Ye Zhao replied to her with a smile.

Sakai Izumii thinks that's also his strength. It is probably because of his advantage that she gradually wants to tell him subconsciously no matter what, even if it is a boring idea.

In the evening, Ye Zhao returned home, and Sakai Spring Water had returned.

When he came out after changing his clothes, Sakai Izumi asked him, "Do you want something to eat?"

Ye Zhao thought for a while, "Okay, I didn't eat much at night." At a glance, I saw that the flowers in the vase were replaced by a small bouquet of calla lilies, and I asked casually: "Have you changed the flower arrangement again?"

Sakai Izumi said to him, "I got it from Noboriko for the wedding." ”

Ye Zhao also knew that Noboriko was the name of the bride. However, he has not met her yet.

He let out an "oh" and stared at the bouquet with interest, "So, it's the bride's bouquet?" , talk about life, find a confidant~
