Chapter 235: Repercussions
The scene once again burst into very warm applause.
"I'm very lucky to be a translator for SMAP today, okay, I'll leave the next few stages to you." After Kagawa Yu finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Nakaju Masahiro's eyes quickly grabbed him,
"Kagawa-san, didn't you come on stage to be a translator? How did you go? Nakai asked.
"Ah, I'm sorry I almost forgot." Kagawa Yu said with a smile, Inagaki Goro, Kimura Takuya, and Katori Shingo burst into laughter when they heard this, and although the fans at the scene couldn't understand what they meant, they were also happy to see the idols so happy.
"I am very happy and honored to have our first overseas concert held in the Bird's Nest, and I would like to express my gratitude to all of you! Thank you for your support along the way! Nakaju said.
After Kagawa Yu translated Nakai's words, the fans at the scene began to chant Nakai's name.
"The next song we are going to sing is a traditional Chinese folk song, I hope you like it!"
Takuya Kimura's words made the Chinese audience more curious and excited.
At this time, Kagawa Yu also stepped down again and handed over the stage to SMAP.
"Jasmine!"
The melodious and beautiful melody of Jasmine began to sound, and the five uncles of SMAP began to sing along with the melody, although their Chinese accents were still very anxious, but the fans at the scene were very fascinated by it, because they felt the sincerity of the idols. That's enough!
In the end, in the midst of almost the chorus of singing, SMAP's first overseas concert came to a successful conclusion!
The successful performance of SMAP's first concert sparked heated discussions in China and RB. The relationship between these two countries has not been very good for a period of time, and it is a very big risk for SMAP to be able to hold a concert under great pressure during this time period!
This time SMAP's concert was obviously very successful, especially the two "flower" songs they sang during the concert stage, one is the very humanistic "The Only Flower in the World", and the other is "Jasmine", which is very Chinese cultural characteristics, both songs are all sung in Chinese, which also makes the Chinese people feel the sincerity of SMAP!
China's major media also gave the concert a very high evaluation. The media, including national television, also reported on the concert briefly, and almost all the media gave high praise to the five SMAP people and the promoter of the concert, Kagawa Yu.
Due to the high evaluation of many media, the five people of SMAP and Kagawa Yu, who was originally very well-known in Chinese mainland. Reputation has skyrocketed again. Chinese audiences who didn't know SMAP before also have an understanding of SMAP as a super celestial group.
Taking advantage of this shareholder trend, SMAP's concert in the magic capital was also held very quickly, compared with the imperial capital! The audience of the magic city is more enthusiastic, on the one hand, because the magic city is the most economically developed city in China. It is relatively open to the outside world. Therefore, the people here know more about SMAP than the people in the imperial capital, and SMAP has a relatively solid fan base here, and another reason is that the concert in the imperial capital is very successful, so that people here are full of expectations for SMAP's performance.
More than 80,000 spectators watched SMAP's performance, and finally the whole audience sang "The Only Flower in the World", and SMAP's trip to China came to a successful conclusion.
Although the two-stop concert is only a small attempt, this has already made Kagawa Yu see the market potential of the mainland, and he is already thinking about bringing AKB or Nogizaka 46 to China next year to hold a concert. Next year will be a very commemorative year for the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. I believe that the relationship between the two countries will ease somewhat, and there will be much less resistance for AKB to hold a concert at that time.
SMAP returned to RB non-stop after two concerts, and they have many more shows to come. There isn't much time left for them to rest and relax.
On December 8, AKB48's nineteenth single "Order of Chance" was released. Although the initial sales of this single were only 34 plays, it held the top spot on the public trust chart, and in the end, the sales of this single without many popular members reached 690,000 copies. Compared with the previous single, the results of this single are really nothing, and this single cannot be compared with the previous singles in terms of quality.
On the same day, Kagawa Yu also returned to RB, and after returning to Japan, he came to take notes and rested and summoned Yuko Oshima, Itano Tomomi, Matsui Reina, Okumanami, Watanabe Mayu, Kojima Yona, Mai Shiraishi, Mai Oshima, and Atsuko Maeda to his office and explained some things to the members to pay attention to.
Several girls were still a little excited when they saw Kagawa Yu, especially Itano Tomomi was so excited that she almost burst into tears.
Kagawa Yu saw the members sitting across from him, and he felt comforted in his heart.
"Long time no see, how are you doing?" Kagawa Yu looked at everyone with a smile.
"It's okay, it's mainly a bit annoying to participate in the single release event." Yona Kojima said triumphantly, but after he finished speaking, he found that a few more cold lights were coming, and she didn't need to look at it to know who the owner of these cold lights was, except for Mai Oshima, Itano Tomomi, and Oshima Yuko, who else could there be.
"That's right, but I find it nice to be in the back row. You can also take the opportunity to be lazy. Atsuko Maeda chatted with Mai Shiraishi beside her.
"The old lady doesn't even have a chance to stand in the back row, these two bastards!" Tomomi Itano gritted her teeth.
"What are we going to do with these guys today?" Yuko Oshima glanced sideways at Mai Oshima.
Mai Oshima understood, "Just deal with it according to the old way, recently I think the skin of these girls is getting smoother and more tender, especially Yangna's plump breasts." ”
After hearing this, Nami Okumana and Mayu Watanabe heard this, their little faces were slightly red, Kagawa Yu couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly, signaling the two girls not to be too presumptuous.
"Have you seen SMAP's concert in China?" Kagawa asked.
The girls nodded in unison. (To be continued......)
