Chapter 71 AKB48 6th Selection General Election 1
Tian Licheng prepared three songs with sincerity this time, namely "MY REVOLUTION", "Good-Bye My Loneliness" and "STARLIGHT PARADE".
"MY REVOLUTION" has been sung for 30 years since its release in '86 and is still popular in Dongying, and it is a classic song that will never sound outdated at any time.
ZARD's work "Good-Bye My Loneliness", although it is not very famous, but Tian Toshisei likes it very much, as the debut song of Sakai Izumi, if she is not confident in the song, how can she make such a choice? What's more, the faint sadness revealed in the lyrics is very suitable for Yoshida's interpretation.
Sekai no owari's "STARLIGHT PARADE" is a futuristic song that blends both electronic and classical styles, and is a good way to balance out the slightly retro style of the first two tracks, allowing MDM's library to be more diverse.
During the recording process, Tian Licheng also made new attempts at songs, such as in "MY REVOLUTION", he tried to make Shi Geqi harmonize in the chorus. The original singer of this song, Misato Watanabe, has a very strong voice, and the whole song is performed by her passionately, while Yoshida's voice is a little soft and bright, and after adding Lao Shi's male voice, the strength of the climax part satisfies him.
In addition, Tian Licheng found that Shi Geqi's voice condition is also quite good, the voice with a slightly smoky voice is quite tasteful, and the breath is also very stable, which is an unexpected joy, if you hone Lao Shi well, many of the male and female duet tracks he prepared can also be used for his own band.
As for Tian Licheng himself, he also tried to follow the harmony, and found that the only thing he could do was to follow "WOW, WOW" twice in the climax. But it's okay to let him pass the addiction of singing, but it won't affect the effect of the song.
The eldest lady's performance is still as stable as ever, in fact, in terms of singing skills alone, she does not have a wide vocal range and strong explosiveness like MISIA, nor is she as stable and resonant as Miwa Yoshida of DCT, but she is a little good, she is very smart and can constantly adjust her emotional interpretation according to the feeling of the song.
This is what everyone often calls musicality, a very virtual thing, to put it bluntly, Yoshida knows how to sing this song to be good, and it is flattering.
She has a high sensitivity to the melody and style of music, including the understanding of tunes, lyrics, and complex melodic variations.
This is also the reason why Tian Licheng fell in love with Yoshida at first sight, because the eldest lady can clearly distinguish where the song should be broken and where it should be connected when singing, and even according to her own understanding of the song, she can appropriately change the strength and weakness. Although Tian Licheng was also depressed that the fruits of his labor were abandoned by her many times, Yoshida's adaptations were quite reasonable, and the songs did sound better.
While the song was being recorded, AKB48's 6th selection general election was also held at Ajinomoto Stadium on June 7 as scheduled.
The 80 members selected by voting will be ranked in the order of the selection group, Under Girls, Next Girls, Future Girls, and Upcoming Girls, and the results of the ranking will determine how many resources the members will receive for the next year.
Tian Licheng and his teammates watched the TV broadcast of the general election in the activity room, which was also the first time he experienced the ups and downs of the general election with others.
One by one, the members were called by the host, and they stood in front of the microphone calmly or excitedly and said their testimonials to the tens of thousands of fans in the audience.
Sadness, joy, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, and from time to time there are shouts and surprises from fans on the TV, even covering the voices of the TV commentators.
"This is the general election......" the eldest lady sighed, this was the first time she had watched the AKB general election.
Seeing now, her biggest feeling is still the word "cruel", the alternation of generations is particularly obvious, and some of the famous members have also fallen into the sand and missed the selection.
When shouting about Takashiro Aki, who was in 26th place, even Yamamoto, who didn't care about idols, said in surprise: "Ah, I've seen this girl, wasn't she still in the top 10 for the first two years, why did she fall to this position this year?" â
"After being transferred to JKT48, it is a miracle that so many fans still remember to vote for her. Indonesia is also really a strange country, it is stipulated that you must believe in gods, and the members of Dongying are classified as sun worship, do you think this is funny? You can't wear swimsuits during the MV shooting, they all wear dresses, and MSL also said that the fans of JKT48 are lewd, and the members only sell their thighs. "Shi Geqi knows a lot about AKBGROUP.
Although Tian Licheng knew about Gao Cheng's migration to JKT, he didn't know that there was a stalk of sun worship in it: "After all, Indonesia, sometimes the brain circuit is different from ours." â
The invoices for the top 20 places were entered, and the atmosphere in the venue became more and more solemn.
Anna Iriyama finished twentieth, she was seriously injured and recuperating at home, and the girl could only convey her gratitude to her fans through a recording link.
19 Miri Kitahara, 18 Miyuki Watanabe, when the name of Kaori Matsumura of 17 was announced, there was a sad cry from the scene, after all, the difference in treatment between 17 and UG and 16 in the selection group is not small. Being in the selection group means a lot of exposure, and members get jobs in various TV magazines, while under girls have significantly fewer opportunities.
"Sixteenth place, 39,120 votes, AKB48 Team A, Rina Kawaei."
"Oh!!" Fans exclaimed.
The host Kazuo Deguang continued: "I got a notification in my headphones just now, in fact, today, Chuan Rong also arrived at the scene. â
"Where, where?" Other AKB members and fans in the audience applauded as they looked around for her.
Because of his injury, Kawaei has been quietly waiting for the announcement of his rankings in the background alone. The moment she heard her name, the girl couldn't contain her excitement and covered her face and cried bitterly.
When she appeared in front of the camera with tears in her eyes, bandages on her hands, and a long pink coat, there was thunderous applause and shouts from the scene.
The host Tokumitsu Kazuo kept comforting the girl, and when she was emotionally stable, he handed over the stage to her, and the old man was very considerate and quietly took back the trophies that needed to be awarded, so as not to cause her an extra burden.
The girl froze in front of the microphone: "This time it really worries everyone." I'm in good spirits right now and I'm so grateful to the fans who have prepared such a great position to wait for me. To be honest, ever since I found out that I was only in 45th place, I was depressed every day, crying every night, thinking about what I had done in the past year. I was worrying about what to do when this incident happened, and I think it was probably arranged by the gods to cheer me up. â
"It was the strength of everyone that gave me renewed motivation and turned this crisis into an opportunity for me. In the coming year, no matter what happens in my favorite AKB, I will not admit defeat, I must work hard to repay everyone, thank you very much! â
After speaking, Chuan Rong solemnly bowed to the audience and thanked him.
Kazufu Deguang walked up to her and asked, "Li Nai-chan is wearing private clothes, wearing your own clothes to experience this joy, you must have different feelings." Honestly, do you still have a sense of fear about the events that preceded it? â
"Not at all! It's okay! The girl replied energetically.
The fans in the audience applauded loudly, and the commentators on TV also sighed: "What a strong girl." â
Deguang asked again: "Has the psychology recovered?" â
The girl smiled confidently: "It's completely fine, as long as there are fans and members who support me, I won't admit defeat!" "Negative ăăȘăă§" is my favorite! â
After finishing speaking, Chuan Rong waved his fist and sat in the sixteenth position amid the warm applause of the audience.
"Haha, I didn't expect us to find a presence in the AKB general election." Shi Geqi triumphantly shouted towards the TV: "Li Nai-chan, I also like you the most!" â
Tian Licheng glanced at him: "Lao Shi, didn't you just say that you like Ma Youyou the most?" â
"There is no contradiction between liking Ma Youyou and liking Chuanrong, one is the original intention, and the other is the push."
"Men are the same anyway, it's your nature to see one and love the other." The eldest lady complained mercilessly.
At this moment, not only Shi Geqi had nothing to say, but even Lao Tian was affected. After all, he is in the same state now, and he doesn't have the courage to tell Yoshida about Nishino's matter now, and he will be torn off if he accidentally steps on two boats.
