In the end, people who don't like to admit defeat can be seen as a challenge even if a member of the group quits.

Such an attitude can't help but make Ye Zhao have a little strange association, that is, when Takuya Kimura and the members went to the TV station's affiliates and advertising partners one by one to bow and apologize after Mori Yuki retired from the team, every time he lowered his head and said "I'm really sorry", he was adding energy to his charging tank, and he began to enlarge his moves until the storage tank was full.

Of course, this kind of thing is just a matter of thinking. The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and finally cut to the topic. "Kimura-san just said that there is something to talk about, what is it?"

Actually, it's about the current song "Flower". Takuya Kimura pondered his words, "It may be a bit rude to say this, but I don't quite understand why Ye Zhaosang came up with such a song, of course, it's not that this song is bad, although I only have some superficial understanding of music, but I can also hear that this song is really very smooth...... What I don't understand are the lyrics. ”

After all, he came to discuss the issue of words and songs with the songwriter, so Kimura Takuya's words were very subtle, but Ye Zhao could still hear it, and what he wanted to say was that the lyrics of this song were not up to standard.

When it comes to the song title "Flower", there are "Flowers" by Shinji Tanimura, "Flowers" by Kina Shoyoshi, "Flowers" by Kosuke Naka, and various "Flowers".

In short, in the theme of "flowers", there are too many beautiful and elegant lyrics full of artistic conception.

BUT WHAT ABOUT ORANGE RANGE'S FLOWERS?

This is definitely not a song with connotation, and as for the content of the lyrics, even the inexplicable vernacular of "why do flowers wither and why do birds fly" flew out.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Takuya Kimura would say, "I don't understand the lyrics".

Regarding the fact that Takuya Kimura deliberately "came to the door" to ask questions about lyrics, Ye Zhao not only felt that his approach was abrupt, but felt very appreciative from the bottom of his heart.

Back in the era when idols still occupied half of the music scene, professional composers and singer-songwriters were all serving idols and giving them tailor-made lyrics and songs.

Although idols were much more beautiful at that time than they are now, they still had to rely on good songwriters to provide songs, so for fear of offending songwriters, even if they received a song that they thought was inappropriate, they didn't dare to say "bad" directly.

Although most of the creators could only stand behind the idols at that time, their "seniority" was self-evident.

It is precisely because of this that Takuya Kimura dares to speak the truth. For creators, even if the creation itself is "advanced", it is very arrogant to reject any bad opinions because of this.

Therefore, after listening to Takuya Kimura's words, Ye Zhao explained to him very seriously, "Actually, when this song was produced, it was made for the purpose of 'selling well', including simple and straightforward lyrics, which was actually for the sake of selling well." ”

The melody of "Flower" is smooth and easy to sing, which is suitable for singing in karaoke, and of course, it is also suitable for interacting with the audience at a concert to stir up the atmosphere. This is a must-have element for a song to sell well.

And the lyrics of this vernacular allow even children who don't know much about Chinese characters to easily understand and remember the lyrics, thereby increasing the popularity of singing.

“…… Therefore, it is also in consideration of this part that the song will be filled with such lyrics. Ye Zhao said, "Because when I decided to make it, the first thing I thought of was how to get more people to listen to this song and sing this song." ”

As for what will reduce the reputation of the word of mouth because of writing this kind of lyrics, you don't have to worry about it, anyway, the lyricist has to write everything. The most famous examples, "The Endless River" and "Don't Move the Old Lady's Sailor Suit", were not both written by Akimoto Fat, but even so, it did not prevent him from becoming the top lyricist.

And at the end of the day, the difference between Jenis in the nineties and Jennis after the millennium, SMAP in the nineties and SMAP after the millennium, is really very big.

After the millennium, Jennis's power in the music world has increased greatly and has become an unstoppable force, but in the current era, the status of Jennis's idol in the music world is very embarrassing.

During the ice age of idols, their idols took the lead in letting go of their reserves, losing the ancestral precepts of being honest and beautiful in their idol industry, their bells and whistles dressing style and noisy song style, coupled with the strategy of selling people but not selling songs, and even so, sales that did not sell well...... Although there are many viewers who eat their set, on the other hand, they are almost full of bad reviews.

Similarly, after the turn of the millennium, it reached its peak in popularity and national popularity, and went through various trials, becoming a super heavenly group in one fell swoop, and it is impeccable in all aspects of Japanese dramas and variety shows, and the favorability is also very high.

Therefore, to provide songs for the current SMAP, as long as you come up with simple and easy-to-sing songs, more profound songs with humanistic connotations, sung by them now, somewhat lack some convincingness, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect.

"I see. Takuya Kimura nodded, "Now I probably understand Ye Zhaosan's thoughts......"

Thinking of what Iijima Sanchi said before, "Everyone likes this song very much" and now that he asks directly, Ye Zhao feels that Takuya Kimura's opinion was ignored at that time.

"Thank you really Ye Zhaosang for taking such a bother, even if it is such a somewhat rude question, he answered it seriously. Takuya Kimura thanked him again.

Although musicians and idols cooperate a lot, the prejudice against idols has always existed, and it is possible to be scolded with a bad temper and be scolded with "what do you know", Ye Zhao's attitude is definitely the best handful.

"It doesn't matter. Ye Zhao smiled, from the beginning of knowing them to the present, his attitude has always been neither humble nor arrogant, and he has not changed at any time.

After the break, a new round of recordings continued, and although Ye Aki and Kimura Takuya walked away for about ten minutes during the break, the others in the studio didn't show curiosity, at least on the surface.

Ye Zhao supervised SMAP for another round of booths, then withdrew, and handed over the overall situation to the recording engineer. When he sat next to him to rest, Iijima Sanchi stepped forward and said to him, "Good work, Ye Jun." ”

Ye Zhao got up and greeted her, "This is my job, Iijima-san is polite." ”
