Chapter 65: Supernumerary Contestant Minami Asakura (Part II)

In fact, in the history of Japanese animation and comics, there has been a quiet, difficult to notice "revolution" about the heroine's attributes and identity settings, how did this revolution happen, why did it happen, what happened in the process, and whether there was bloodshed during the period, which is now almost buried in history, and the truth is unknown. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the results of the revolution were clear.

The result of the revolution is the change of the heroine's identity, which caused the decline of the upper position and the young taming of the heavenly descending system.

This revolution is known as the "counterattack of the heavenly system".

Why do you use the word counterattack? This is because there was an era of young taming and dyeing and hanging from the sky.

The typical representative of the young taming and dyeing department, the cartoonist Anda Chong, the strongest young taming typical heroine, Asakura Minami.

Touch is a very important work in the history of manga, it has only 26 volumes in a single book, but the overall sales can exceed 100 million, and it has been one of the highest sales per volume since the 80s, and its animation has recorded a rating of more than 30%.

And the heroes and heroines of this work, Tatsuya Uesugi and Minami Asakura, have an incomparable status not only in baseball manga, but also in the entire sports manga works.

Don't discuss the differences in the personalities of the characters in different versions of the comics, comics and anime, whether they like or hate this pair of cps, they actually have such a status.

During the TV anime broadcast of Touch, a large number of newborn babies named "Tatsuya" were created, and Minami Asakura was the most popular anime heroine for quite some time.

The hottest sports manga in the mid-90s is undoubtedly Slam Dunk, but its heroine Haruko Akagi will never get the popularity and manga status of Minami Asakura, on the one hand, because baseball is more popular than basketball, which is easier for readers to accept, and on the other hand, because Haruko is more of a vase-like character in the setting, and lacks due weight in the work.

Adatsumitsu is not a manga artist known for his drawing skills, and Minami Asakura is not a delicate character, but the influence of this character in Koshien and Japanese high school baseball is unparalleled.

Who was on the cover of the 97th Summer Koshien Official Commemorative Special Issue in 2015, the 100th anniversary of Koshien? It's not those great baseball players who came out of Koshien, but this anime character Minami Asakura, who doesn't actually exist.

Speaking of the game that has ended now, Seido High School won and Waseda Kogyo lost in tears...... The word tearful is not quite accurate, many players, especially the three-year students, actually cried loudly, but the second air defense alarm has sounded, which means that there is no next round of the game, it is really over.

The sophomore can still wait for another chance next year, but the high school baseball that the third year has worked so is over.

The loser needs to be encouraged, and the hard-working youth is worth moving, so this is the time to sing an inspirational song.

Previously, Hibiscus had reached a certain cooperation agreement with Asahi Shimbun, the operator of Summer Koshien, and after obtaining the consent of the copyright owner Shogakukan and the original author Adamitsu, they obtained the one-time use rights of Minami Asakura's character as an add-on to ODA Nobuna.

The popularity of the August Hanshin earthquake has long since faded, and ODA Nobuna has been mentioned less and less in the media, and less and less often in the public or rather in the reader's eye, which is not what Shizune Miyahara and Hibiscus wanted to see.

But this is an objective law, you can't expect something, a certain character will be hot all the time after it is hot, and the audience needs something new, not repeating and repeating as always.

So this virtual group has to maintain exposure, so they have to release a new song, so Miyahara Shizune has her sights set on Koshien.

Because Koshien has a profound influence, it is a concrete representation of youth, sweat, hard work, and hard work.

In the past, ODA Nobuna's "Please Give Me Wings" was a good song as a support song, but that kind of song is not a style after all, and young people may hear it and remember the melody, but they don't usually hum such songs, and they don't order such songs when they are on demand for certain events.

Because it is not "youthful" enough, it is not to taste.

People who read manga, especially shonen manga, are young people, so in order to be more deeply rooted in the hearts of young people, Shizuzu Miyahara has to come up with a song for ODA NOBUNA that meets the tastes of young people.

Baseball and Koshien are a great place to start.

The popularity of baseball in Japan doesn't need to be said more, just talking about anime works, it can be said that more than 95% of school animations mention the word baseball at least once, let alone write about baseball.

A suitable song can naturally resonate with baseball teenagers and young people, but this is not enough, Miyahara needs to be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and he needs to release the song at the same time as the song is very utilitarian, because he temporarily thinks that if ODA Nobuna does not make enough impact, it will be considered a failure.

So for this purpose, ODA Nobuna needs a supernumerary member, and that is Minami Asakura.

There is still a desire to use other people's children if they can use it.

Minami Asakura can make it very simple.

After the air raid sirens ended, the spectators discussed the results of the game just now, marveling at the pitchers of Seido, but unfortunately when Waseda Kotsu was defeated, they heard the song in their ears.

Then some viewers who were able to see some of the displays suddenly noticed that the picture on it had become different.

"Hey, I'd love to see Minami Asakura?"

"Minami Asakura? Where is it? ”

"Not only Minami Asakura, but also ODA Nobuna ......"

The spectators who wanted to leave the stadium stopped again.

"負けないで".

The name of this new song is "Don't admit defeat", it is a song that inspires the loser, not to mention the tune, the lyrics are very close to people's psychology.

In Miyahara's mind, it is known as the "No. 1 inspirational song of the Japanese ---", so this song is the most suitable for Koshien where sweat and tears are shed.

When Simiel hit and maintained sales, when she needed to fight with Ren Tangtian, Miyahara Jing didn't forget ME, but the way she handled it was somewhat similar to when Hanshin did, that is, to make ODA Nobuna's popularity rise again.

At the same time, this is also to find something to do for the four voice actors.,Although the Big Leaf Privet Office is an empty shell.,But you can't really let the voice actors have no job all the time.,Otherwise, it will definitely not be able to keep people.。

The ODA NOBUNA five-member group on the display screen,At this time, they are all wearing baseball uniforms、Wearing baseball caps image design,The whole style of painting is actually a character like Kasuki who is adapting to and getting close to the style of Asakura Minami,No way,Even if you get more exposure,In the short term, it is difficult for the role of Hibiscus Society to be as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the image of Asakura Minami......

But it's also good to deal with it in this way.,Because it makes the ODA Nobuna guys feel like the girl next door.。。

ODA Nobuna's "Please Give Me Wings" has not been released yet, but the song "Don't Throw in the Defeat" is a bestseller.

With the popular genre and inspirational lyrics, with the spread of this song, the popularity of ODA Nobuna will be able to reach the top again.

After all, the original single was able to win a total sales of 1.64 million copies and achieve a 13-week consecutive hegemony on the public trust chart.

On the Koshien stage, ODA Nobuna, who had been silent for months, suddenly announced a new song, and the single went on sale the next day.

Then, the song became popular, and so did ODA Nobuna, and the trend of that popularity was even faster than the previous Hanshin, because this time the main audience was young people, and most of the time, young people had more momentum.

Note: 負けないで is actually a song of Sakai Izumi 93 years, but there is a great will of the universe here.
