The female rapper that Bao Sheng Mai said, her name is Yuri Ichii.

Originally a member of the dance group Tokyo Dancing Doll, like Ryoko Shinohara, she formed a group called East EndXyuri with the rap group East End last year, and released several singles and albums in succession.

Their single "Dayone" was released in August last year, and thanks to strong publicity, the initial meagre response quickly became a word-of-mouth sensation, eventually selling one million copies, becoming the first rap single in Japanese pop history to surpass one million sales.

Although the history of rap in Japan can be traced back to the mid-to-late 70s, it was the male and female rap groups that really achieved great commercial success. And their success has also allowed record companies to find business opportunities from it, and in this year, many male and female rap groups have sprung up one after another.

Even Ayumi Hamasaki, who took advantage of the heat this year, formed a male and female rap group under the stage name of Ayumi and released singles and mini-albums, and also played the promotional slogan of "The youngest female rap singer in Japanese history", although it was directly packaged by the record company because of poor sales.

But thanks to this, there was a later pop diva Ayumi Hamasaki.

By the way, East Endxyuri's record company is the epic label of Sony Records, which Ye Zhao is now cooperating with, and the singers and music styles of this label can be said to be quite foreign and individual.

"That's a pretty good idea," Miho Kanno nodded matter-of-factly, and looked at Ye Zhao expectantly, "Otherwise, Nissan will just write a rap song and bring everyone to release a single together, right?" Anyway, a male and female rap group is becoming popular now, and with Nissan coming out again, maybe it will be another million-dollar single." ”

"Miho-chan, how can a million singles be so easy to say. Nakama Yukie objected.

Bao Sheng Mai continued to spit out her cold groove, "And, maybe, because of our participation, the sales of singles that could have sold millions will be miserable." ”

"Anyway," Domoto reluctantly interjected, correcting the girls' misconceptions, "it's very difficult to sing rap well, and the test of speed and rhythm is also very strong, not much easier than singing, or even more difficult." ”

Unfortunately, his words were ignored by the girls almost immediately. It seems that the girls who have opened the whimsical chatterbox began to revolve around this non-existent single, starting from whether it can be a big seller or not, starting to think differently, all the way to think about what style of lyrics to fill in, how to distribute the lyrics, what pose to pose when shooting the cover, and then what style of clothes to wear when performing live, will they not be able to keep up with the words......

completely ignored one thing, that is: Ye Zhao didn't plan to take them to sing rap at all.

……

"Today's guest ...... It's been a long time. ”

"Yes, long time no see. ”

"There seem to be a lot of people saying that the two of us haven't seen each other at all since we finished working together on a single. ”

"That's not that exaggerated, is it? I've seen it three or five times. ”

"Because you're a busy person now, making movies and doing radio dramas, singing seems to have become a side job. ”

This kind of words are similar to Fukuyama-san. Ye Zhao smiled and "counterattacked".

Of course, he still knows in his heart that unlike people like him, who seem to be in the nature of playing tickets to the outside world, Masaharu Fukuyama, whether he is filming, singing, or hosting broadcasting, has now become his "main business".

Masaharu Fukuyama also smiled, "Speaking of which, everyone knows who today's guest is, right? That's right, it's Ye Jun." ”

As early as two weeks before the release of the single, Ye Zhao was scheduled to come to Masaharu Fukuyama's broadcast on the Saturday of August 26. Compared with the more relaxed radio programs of the TV group, plus they are good friends who have a good relationship in private, it is foreseeable that this episode of the program will be quite casual, and even a little bit off the discipline.

"Then again, it's too late. I've been waiting for you to come and play. ”

"Because I haven't released a new song, I don't know what to do. ”

"But when it comes to the new single this time...... "Singer's Love Song," Masaharu Fukuyama smiled evilly, "and the cover is a beautiful girl again." ”

"It's cute, isn't it? It's a bit inappropriate to boast about myself, but I'm confident in my vision. ”

"So such a cute girl, did you ask for a phone call or something after the filming ended?"

"Fukuyama-san," Ye Zhao reminded, "this is in the show." ”

"Big husband (it's okay), the late-night radio show is just to relax. ”

"Fukuyama-san was relaxed, but as the person being questioned, I was about to go up. ”

……

"What's the next song?"

“…… That's right, it's Nantian Xingsang's "Cang Monogatari". Masaharu Fukuyama explained in his magnetic voice, "Speaking of Kura Monogatari, do you know that this song is a permanent collection of Enoden, a century-old tram in Kamakura City. If you travel to Enoshima and take this train, you can hear this song in the carriage. ”

"Speaking of summer, it's really the stars in the southern sky. Ye Zhao sighed, "I've always wanted to meet Mr. Sangtian, if it weren't for Mr. Sangtian, I probably wouldn't know what I'm doing now." ”

"The day before yesterday, I went to Mr. Kuwata's villa in Chigasaki City with Begin's Higa-san to attend a party. Hara-san also baked apple pie to entertain us. ”

"Yes, the relationship between the few people is really good. ”

"It's because you're a senior, a former member of the same firm...... That being said, a few years ago, Biga-san came to play on my radio station, and the two of us almost got into a broadcast accident. ”

"Broadcast accident?" Ye Zhao was slightly startled.

"Yes. During the live broadcast, in order to discuss a certain issue, there was a small disagreement with Bigasan, because neither of us would budge, and for about ten seconds, we didn't speak to each other at all. ”

"If you broadcast live, if you don't speak for more than three seconds, it's a broadcast accident, right?"

At that time, the expression on the face of the director on the other side froze. By the time I realized that it couldn't go on like this, it was already more than ten seconds of coldness, so I quickly said 'I'm sorry!' with my mouth, and in an instant, Bijasang laughed out loud and took the opportunity to turn the matter back. When the live broadcast ended, the first thing the two of us did was to apologize to the director, Sang, and the staff, 'I'm so sorry!' and bowed vigorously as we said this. 2k reading network
