Chapter 290: Bumped
"I don't know if I will become a top singer," Yumi Yoshimura on the other end of the phone also laughed, "However, with such a good start, I am now full of expectations for everything in the future." ”
"In addition to looking forward to it, thank you. Although she is usually a little arrogant and not very obtrusive, it doesn't mean that she is not polite, "Yami and I both know that if we hadn't met Ye Zhaosang, we wouldn't be where we are today." Thank you very much. ”
In the end, there was a period of hard time before her debut, and compared with Ami Okuni, who has had a smooth journey so far, and has a natural and lively personality, Yumi Yoshimura's mentality is still completely different.
"It's nothing, anyway, please come on after that. After listening to all kinds of words of thanks, Ye Zhao got used to it.
……
In an era of extremely prosperous record market, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, there are heavyweights who release records almost every other week, and if you want to win the weekly championship, you can't do it without going through a lot of fighting.
Even if I was lucky enough to choose a relatively peaceful day, because it is not yet the era of 90% of the cumulative sales in the first week, it is like a miracle from 2,000 to 2 million, and it is still being staged.
Because it is difficult to win the weekly championship, and it is especially difficult for newcomers, when "The Innocence of Asia" did not fall but rose in the second week of its release, winning the weekly chart with a score of 260,000 copies, the entire industry cast a surprised eye on this unborn group.
It's an exaggeration to call this a "miracle", but it's still necessary to say "crazy".
What I have to mention here is that at the beginning, when the single was in production, Sony boldly produced more than 200,000 spare singles.
After receiving an additional order request from the record seller, Sony first sent out the 200,000 singles that had been prepared for a long time to ensure that there was no out-of-stock situation on the record store side that would affect sales, and on the other hand, according to the feedback from the market, it produced 300,000 copies in advance and stocked them in advance.
A week after the single was released, the Kirin Drink commercial had been on TV for a week, and the audience had been bombarded with the phrase "put the white pandas side by side, no matter what they were."
Moreover, because the melody is so catchy, you can hum the lyrics almost once or twice after listening to it, so whether it is because the song is really good, or the obsessive-compulsive episode is uncomfortable not listening to the whole song, or for some other reason, this part of the audience who watched the ad was also converted into considerable purchasing power.
It is precisely because of the abundant supply that this single has achieved such dazzling results in the second week of its release. Of course, there is also the luck of these two girls, who did not bump into the terrible big singer during the release period.
After all, in today's era of popular singers who have nothing to do, it is not uncommon to have grievances like selling 300,000 copies a week but only winning a runner-up.
You know, the 90s was the craziest era in the history of Japanese records, and in February of this year, Mr. Kid's single "Famous Poetry" created the highest initial move in the history of the chart with 1.2 million initial moves.
This record stood for fifteen years, and even monsters like Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada could not break it until fifteen years later, when it was terminated by AKB, and this record has been broken by themselves since then.
In addition to the effect from TV commercials, as records went on sale, music magazines, and some pre-recorded variety shows were slowly being broadcast.
Just from the quirky lyrics of "Asia's Innocence" and the casual singing of the two girls, you can feel that the painting style of this group is not so "orthodox", and after they finished their appearance in the media, the two girls wore casual T-shirts and denim, answered questions very frankly during interviews and conversations, and the dance they danced during the performance was not so much dancing as a casual twist, which was weird no matter where you looked at it.
But it's this kind of casualness and eccentricity, these two cute girls say things that others dare not say in public, and do things that others dare not do, regardless of whether this presents the character setting or their true character, such leisure and casualness are exactly what the Japanese people who are suppressed by society and have to play their own roles yearn for.
When the two girls recorded two programs on Kansai TV and Fuji TV were broadcast one after another, almost immediately, it set off a trend among young people, and in the streets of Tokyo, among the girls who were originally wearing long boots and miniskirts and long brown hair, there was suddenly a group of girls dressed in neutral clothes and wearing minimalist T-shirts and denim.
The Japanese are the most popular people in the world, if not one of them. For example, if there is a long queue in front of a bakery, passers-by will assume that the food is good, and some people will join the queue without even knowing what is being sold.
Therefore, when the wind of puffy blows, even if it is just to follow the trend, more and more girls and even teenagers join the team of imitation and chasing, and they are all united to push them to the top.
It's just that although Puffy set off such a trend as soon as they debuted, their debut single only won the championship of the second week.
Since it is said that this is an era of crazy films, in addition to the duel between big singers, it is also common for singers of the same company or faction to "kill each other".
And the opponent Puffy met in the third week...... It's their producer, Ye Zhao himself.
After all, before Puffy's debut, no one expected them to have such a strong potential, so in the release period, there was no special selection, and there was no record to maintain or impact anyway.
Moreover, Puffy and Ye Zhao belong to different record companies, and even if they want to avoid it, it will be much more troublesome to coordinate between different companies.
Besides, in this era when big names appear with their works almost every other week, even if Ye Zhao is avoided, there will still be other singers who will compete with them for the throne of the champion, and there is no need to deliberately pick a day.
Therefore, just after Puffy won the first weekly championship of her debut, immediately after, Ye Zhao brought the two singles that he had carefully brewed and released on the same day, and they came out with great momentum. 2k reading web
