Chapter 319: The King of Karaoke
"It's true that a very fresh approach to composition is used. Yamazaki chimed in, "It's a little bit of a 'is okay with this?'" It's really interesting. β
"Because I really want to try something new. Ye Zhao said.
"Still, I'm surprised that you would release such a song. Takuro Yoshida said, "Generally speaking, singers who are on the rise rarely make such radical changes. Even if you try to transform, you are slowly adding new elements to the existing music. β
"Actually, I'm also very apprehensive in my heart. Ye Zhao said, "That's why I chose to release two singles at the same time and produced this song with an 'experimental' attitude." β
"As far as we can see, this 'experiment' has been a great success. β
"It has something to do with popularity, too. Cang Zhiyang said half jokingly and half seriously, "Although it may not be appropriate to say this kind of thing, it can also show that Ye Jun's popularity foundation is very solid, so the public's tolerance for his style is particularly high." β
There is some truth to this. If a different singer had made such a tune with a less popular singer, the result might have been very different.
As far as the success of this single is concerned, there is indeed a part of it that comes from the popularity of the conversion.
It's just that this part is popular, and because the quality of the song is really high, it eventually became word-of-mouth.
"Of course, I think one of the important things is that although the way the music is composed has changed and some new elements have been added that are not commonly used, the song still belongs to JPOP. Okuda Minsheng analyzed.
"As long as the fundamental things are not completely subverted, even if the listener feels uncomfortable at first, they will still be able to find a place in common with the jpop in their hearts. β
The new way of composing music after the millennium does not mean that it completely rejects everything from the old era and starts a new sect. Rather, it has blazed a new trail on the path that has been taken by those who came before us.
In pop music, innovation is everywhere, but at the root of it, there is something that is the same.
"For innovation, I still have to raise my hands in favor. Takuro Yoshida said, "In the era when I debuted, there were a lot of musicians who were constantly trying new things.
"Of course, just like Minsheng Jun said, at that time, we who tried new elements did not overthrow all the old things, but added those new things to the original old things little by little. β
With Ye Zhao's "Kiseki" as the introduction, the five of them went all the way to the new folk songs of the 70s, from the new folk songs to the experimental musicians of the 80s, and from the experimental musicians back to the current pop music...... The more I talked, the more I talked about it, and the more I listened, the more Ye Zhao felt like "raising his posture".
After drinking this scene, Takuro Yoshida left first, and after that, Yoichi Kuramochi proposed to sing karaoke, and Okuda Minsheng had a "again" expression on his face, "As long as you get together with musicians, you must sing karaoke." β
So, is Yoichi Kuramochi the legendary king of karaoke...... Ye Zhao thought silently in his heart.
However, since Yamazaki Shoyoshi agreed, Okuda Minsheng had no opinion, and this invitation also included him sincerely, Ye Zhao nodded and agreed.
So, the four of them were divided into two groups, Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi, two colleagues from the same record company and the same label, took a taxi first, Ye Akira and Yamazaki Shoyoshi took another taxi, and the four of them moved towards Akasaka Misuke.
"The filming of the film is over, and the post-production is almost finished," Yamazaki and Ye Zhao talked about the progress of the film in the taxi, "It's just that because it is an independent production, it will be a little more troublesome in terms of future distribution, and it may take a while before it can be released." β
However, everything went smoothly with the production of the single, as long as the release time of the film was confirmed, and then it was released in conjunction with the release of the movie. β
"I'm looking forward to it from the bottom of my heart," Ye Zhao said, "whether it's Shinohara-san's films, or Yamazaki-san's acting and singing." β
"However, the experience as an actor was almost zero before this, so it was really nerve-wracking when filming. Yamazaki said, "It's still shy to think that my clumsy performance is going to appear on the big screen." β
"Have Yamazaki-san and Kuramochi-san ever sung karaoke together?" Ye Zhao asked.
"Almost every time we go out for a drink together, we end up taking them to karaoke," says Yamazaki...... "In Kuramochi-san's words, it's a social way for Kuramochi-ryu to express his affection." β
"That's really ......" is a bit weird.
When they arrived at the agreed karaoke shop, Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi, who got on the bus first, had already arrived first, and after the four of them converged, they entered the store together.
When musicians get together to sing, they must be relieved in terms of singing skills. Of course, if you come together for leisure, you can't turn it into a karaoke contest to show off your singing skills.
So what you sing and how you sing these places are all based on the pursuit of fun.
For example, Kuramochi Yoichi dragged Okuda Minsheng, and the two sang the song "γγγtomorrowγ" in chorus. "Two thirty-year-old, scumbag-mouthed uncles sing such cute idol songs together, and they can also perfectly harmonize with each other, this picture is also quite beautiful......
Ye Zhao felt that if he felt disillusioned with Okuda Minsheng today...... It's all Yoichi Kuraji's fault!
However, since even Okuda Minsheng has sung it, Ye Zhao and Yamazaki Masaki are naturally not immune. Next, he and Masaki Masaki also teamed up and sang Pink Lady's "γγγ Police Department".
After singing this song, Ye Zhao felt that Okuda Minsheng, who sang such a cute idol song, was not so disillusioned......
Of course, in addition to the chorus of the lovers, they also sang the songs of male duets such as Billy Banban, after all, although it is necessary to liven up the atmosphere, it is necessary to have an excessively active atmosphere.
After that, from duets to quartets, the four of them were randomly combined, and the songs they sang were also varied, from idols to rock, from folk songs to singing. Ye Zhao also didn't adapt to it at the beginning, but gradually became happy, and he could cooperate with the three of them.
After a few rounds of karaoke singing, Okuda Minsheng sighed with emotion, "It's unexpectedly very compatible." β
"yes, unexpectedly. Ye Zhao echoed. Although each has its own characteristics in the voice, this kind of place that cannot be 100% compatible has become an unexpected charm point, which has a unique flavor. 2k reading web
