Chapter 631: Strange Fun
Just a few days after the cruise concert, on September 9, 1999, Love Psyche Delico, produced by Ye Zhao, released her first album since her debut.
deliberately chose to release an album on the ninth day of such a god-level card in 199999, and I didn't worry at all about the sales of god-level card nine, selling a sales volume of 999,090.
Not only that, but as if a joke, the name of this debut album was "The Greatest Hits".
This series is all from the idea of Ye Zhao, the producer.
The title of such an album is not only to make fun of the trend of selection in the past two years, but also to announce to the world in this way that this album is well-made, and each one is a representative work that is enough to be selected into the collection.
As soon as the album was released, it really came up with a high-quality style, and the word of mouth soared all the way and was well received.
Nowadays, new trends are leaving old music behind, and singers and record labels are looking for innovation, and they can play any tricks of it. But this album went against the trend and played retro, and the whole story is in the style of American rock in the sixties and seventies.
It's okay to play retro, but if you play it with ease and don't look old, it's not something that ordinary people can do.
For a while, not only the young people who were at the forefront of the trend thought the band was "cool", but even the older generation, who had experienced the era when American rock became a trend in Japan, also felt a sense of "nostalgia" for this authentic style.
Of course, there is also some cynical evaluation: "Although nostalgic, it is also a little outdated".
But no matter what you say, when retro becomes a niche, retro will also become another trend. Therefore, this album really made him poke at the point of the public again and opened its road to big sales.
Sales are king, I am popular and I am reasonable. As for that bit of cynical evaluation of Lao Tzu is retro, do you have an opinion?
However, when "The Greatest Hits" was on sale, the public thought that recently, Ye Zhaoming was one of the producers who took the lead in innovation and constantly brought out new things.
Isn't this guy divided?
Such a practice of not playing cards according to the routine can't help but make people think so in their hearts.
Then, the public thought about his various practices since his debut, and realized that this guy is not split, but just loves to play.
But it's such a whimsical love to play, and it's another time without missing a hand.
In this way, not only did the outside world continue to be convinced of him, but Sony also had confidence in him, and even Xingchen Office and the forces behind it were determined to cooperate with him, and the contact between the two sides became more and more frequent.
For Ye Zhao, to gain a foothold and maintain his place in this complex music world, he must have strong supporters. This is the way to go.
Expecting to fight and fight on your own, it is not enough to have ten tied up by yourself.
"Ninomiya-kun, congratulations on debut! I wish Arashi a bright future in the future. ”
On September 15th, Arashi officially debuted, and the location of her debut seemed to be to prove Neon Gold's love for Hawaii again, and ran to Hawaii.
Knowing that the group was about to make its official debut, Ye Zhao sent Kazuya Ninomiya debut congratulations and a small gift:
That is, when he went to Kitagawa's house for a party not long ago, he told the old man about the idea of a transparent little raincoat.
I have to say that this idea is really great, to make such a set of clothes to wear, and for the next twenty years, it has been constantly mentioned in music programs, and has become a well-known famous meme, which is really unbelievable.
Although for the members of the group, when they found out that the clothes they had prepared had been replaced with transparent raincoats, their first reaction was probably that "......" had nothing to love.
Kazuya Ninomiya is still a mere debutant teenager, and his poisonous tongue can't poison him.
In the last ten years, when the little raincoat is mentioned again, he can complain about him on TV," ...... That Ye Zhaosang is really full of bad taste. ”
This guy's bad taste doesn't stop there.
coincided with the proud daughter of the arts industry, Takako Matsu, who was able to cooperate with Takuya Kimura as a host at the Red and White Song Club when she debuted, and her record company collected songs for her new album, and invited Ye Zhao to invite the songs.
Then, he sent her a song "A Guide to Love".
The song was eventually used, and this is how the topic was born.
After the single was released, Takako Matsu went to participate in the MS interview session, and when it came to this song, Tamori said, "The title of the song is "Hawaii Love Guide". ”
"Yes. ”
"It's Ye Zhao's song. ”
"Yes, thank you for providing me with such a great tune, I am very impressed. ”
"Does Miss Matsu like Hawaii?"
"I haven't been to Hawaii lately. But it's really great ......."
"Japanese people love Hawaii. "During the bubble era, everyone went on vacation to Hawaii, and at that time, the Japanese bought almost all the resorts in Hawaii. ”
"Eh~" The audience made such an unexpected sound.
It has been almost ten years since the bubble burst, and the young people who have grown up can only listen to the glory of this country in small talk.
"Speaking of which, can you write such a song, does Ye Jun like Hawaii very much?" Tamori seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was asking Takako Matsu.
"It doesn't seem like that's the case. Matsu Takako smiled implicitly and explained, "When I was making the song, I was fortunate enough to meet that person once and talked about this topic a little. It seems to be because "
It just so happened that this one, Arashi also participated.
Takako Matsu turned around and looked at them, "It's a little bit related to Arashi's guys. ”
"Huh"
Whether it was the audience or the singers who were participating in the show, they all looked like surprises. I really can't imagine that Arashi, whose new debut is in full swing, can still be connected with the now popular actress in this way.
However, it is also because Takashi Matsu is very popular, and the person who offered the song is a fog like Ye Zhao, this kind of topic with the suspicion of "rubbing heat" can be said unscrupulously, and no one will feel that it is touching the light of a popular idol.
"Arashi?" Tamori was also curious.
"Yes. At that time, Arashi's debut press conference was held in Hawaii, and after reading the news, he thought, "Sure enough, Japanese people like Hawaii very much~", and it was at that time that the company asked him to sing, so he ...... "Takako Matsu laughed.
Tamori and the guests laughed, "That's why there's Hawaii's Guide to Love." ”
Not only that, but Tamori, who was not too busy to watch, threw the topic to Arashi again, "How, do you guys of Arashi feel about it?"
Kazuya Ninomiya brought the microphone to his lips and said the words of Ye Zhao relayed by Takako Matsu, "How do you say it, 'Sure enough, Japanese people like Hawaii very much'." ”
Because of these words, bursts of laughter erupted in the audience again.
After the show was broadcast, the matter of "Ye Zhao's strange fun" became a topic on the Internet for a while, and young people felt incredible that he loved to play to this extent.
…… That's all for later.
For Ye Zhao, it was just that when he saw the news, he happened to be in a good mood and came up with such an idea, but it was only because Matsutakako's company used this song that there was a series of follow-up developments.
However, having said that, the transparent little raincoat, the Hawaiian love guide, plus the various "feats" such as making a puffy because I like pandas before, getting drunk with the five beauties of singing and then taking them to record, can really summarize a "Ye Zhao's strange and interesting collection".
After all, there are not many people who love to play like him, and it is worth taking good care of.
However, in the end, these things are just a little spice for life. After the cruise concert, there is another major life event in front of him, that is, the wedding with Sakai Izumi.
The concert delayed the wedding, but it also gave them plenty of time to prepare. Whether it's customizing a wedding dress or negotiating the details of the wedding, everything is easy to do.
But because I was ready for battle, I didn't feel that I was fully prepared, and I didn't feel like I could finish preparing no matter how I prepared.
The daughter left home when she was about 20 years old and has been living alone for more than ten years, which makes Sakai Springs' parents still have no such real feeling about "their daughter's marriage".
Although the two have been naturalized for half a year, even earlier, the second elder had already accepted this young son-in-law.
It wasn't until now, when I started to meet Ye Zhao's parents frequently in order to negotiate the wedding, and I had to draw up a guest list and send invitations to relatives and friends, that I had a deep sense of "my daughter has become someone else's wife".
Entering the new year, Sakai Izumi's father is not in good health, and although he is fine, he also begins to feel powerless. Of the three children, the two youngest are married, and although he never says it, he still looks forward to being able to hand over his daughter to her husband at the wedding.
When he was at home, his father had a strict personality and rarely showed his feelings, and because of this, Sakai Izumi was particularly touched by his thoughts.
In addition, a faint melancholy also welled up in my heart.
So recently, she goes back to her parents' house from time to time to talk with them and go for a walk.
In 1993, she wrote the lyrics of "Spend This Life with You" for Teresa Teng. Now, Teresa Teng has passed away, and she has someone to spend this life with.
At that time, I wrote "I don't want my mother who loves tears to worry about me recently" and "The distant journey of life, as long as you and I go together, everything can be crossed", and now when I think of the lyrics of this song, I have a different feeling.
In the evening, Sakai Izumi went out for a walk with his mother.
The mother never asks her daughter "how is she doing", this is the tenderness that belongs to the mother.
And as a daughter, there is also the tenderness of being a daughter.
“…… I'm really happy now, Mom. ”
"So thank you. Because of you, I have such happiness. She said. 2k reading web
