Chapter 664: Sister Quanshui appears
Zhou Xiao's concert can't be said to be good-looking, his songs are very good, but the whole concert is very simple, and all he takes out is his own singing voice.
Even if it is a singing voice, his singing ability can definitely not keep up with those singers with super good singing skills, if there is a list of singers from S to E grades, Zhou Xiao's singing skills may only be ranked B at most, at most B+ level.
If you want to talk about Zhou Xiao's song, Zhou Xiao's singing here, the biggest selling point may be only one...... Feelings......
Japan is not without Chinese who have not become popular, including Teresa Teng and Ouyang Feifei, their predecessors were all popular in Japan back then, and even Jackie Chan Xu Ruoxuan can be regarded as Chinese artists who have become popular in Japan.
But most of the popularity of these artists in Japan has a time limit, and the only one who has no time limit is Jackie Chan, who became a world-class star and became famous in Japan.
Zhou Xiao is different from everyone, Zhou Xiao is an artist who completely relied on his own ability and only took ten years to reach the position of the king in Japan, and it is not too much to say that he is the light of the Chinese.
The Chinese and the Chinese media are very happy to see this kind of storage zĂ i that gives Chinese a long face abroad.
So for a long time, there have been a lot of various news about Zhou Xiao in China, especially those who don't know what Zhou Xiao has done in recent years, how powerful the articles are, and you can find a bunch of them with a casual search, what movies have won the Oscar, novels have sold millions, how big are song sales, and how exaggerated the ratings of variety shows and TV series have been produced......
All these records are well known to many Chinese, and Chinese people can have such good achievements in China, and ordinary people in China are also honored.
It's not that no one poured cold water on Zhou Xiao to say that he grew up completely in Japan, but his expression has always been nothing wrong with being thoroughly Chinese in the eyes of Chinese, and he can speak Chinese without a Japanese accent at all. He also has a very deep understanding of Chinese culture, and has always attached importance to the domestic market, so how can he not be regarded as his own person by the domestic audience.
Sending the two girls off the stage after the performance, Zhou Xiao continued his singing.
His own person Zhou Xiao sang Chinese songs, and for a while, many meals even forgot his identity, and simply immersed themselves in his singing. One song after another, the whole concert soon came to the second half.
Finally, Zhou Xiao wants to be clear about today's second group of concert guests.
"I was able to enter the entertainment industry thanks to her discovery. I can make my current achievements on the road of music thanks to her teaching, she is one of the most important people in my life, and she is also my best friend and teacher......" Zhou Xiao introduced.
"No, it won't!" Among the people present, there were not many people who understood Zhou Xiao's words, but there were still some of them, and there were unbelievable looks on their faces.
"Blessed are you, the live performance of this one, even Japanese rice is not something that can be seen lightly. Even in Japan, not many people have actually seen her perform live, and if you do the math, you may not even appear on TV 10 times.
As for the concert. She's only been on one small tour so far.
But...... This time she came and let us welcome...... Sakai spring water! â
"Oh oh oh!" The rice people who knew this name applauded excitedly, and even felt that as if in a dream, the appearance of this sister was simply too dreamy.
But. There are also many people who are not familiar with this name.
Zhou Xiao introduced: "Some people may not be familiar with this sister, the name of the girl band she belongs to is ZARD, as for what she has sung. You don't need to introduce me, but when the prelude starts, you'll already know, even if you've almost never been exposed to Japanese music before, I'm sure you've heard of her songs to a greater or lesser extent! â
"Sister, then I'll go down and change my clothes first, I'll leave it to you here." Zhou Xiao said a word to Sakai Spring Water in Japanese.
"Go ahead." Sister Quanshui said gently.
Zhou Xiao turned his head and walked off the stage, and the music sounded behind him.
And the music was accompanied by the exclamations of the rice mixed with cheers.
"It turned out to be this song!" That's right, this is a song that came to see the concert, and the audience under the age of 35 counted one song, and almost all of them have heard it!
"éŽăŤăźăŹăăĺăăŚ" ("Turning the Wheel of Fortune")!!
In both China and Japan, there is a very popular animation "Detective Conan" of the fourth generation OP!
If Sakai Izumi's most popular song in Japan is "Negative ăăŞăă§" ("Don't Give Up"), this sister's masterpiece in China is undoubtedly this song.
While walking to the backstage dressing room, Zhou Xiao listened to his sister singing, and he laughed when he listened to it, because Sister Quanshui actually sang a wrong note,
Zhou Xiaona's singing skills are incomparable to this sister's, her singing skills are very stable, and her ability to interpret songs is also very strong, and it is definitely more difficult to make this sister sing the wrong note than to let the dance group sing a good note.
Sister Quanshui was very stimulated to sing the wrong note, because she didn't expect her appearance to cause such a big sensation.
Japan's entertainment industry is very large, although this sister can stay in the entertainment industry for a long time with excellent music quality, but Conan or something is just one of countless excellent works for Japanese audiences.
But this is not the case for Chinese audiences, for Chinese audiences, the broadcast of a Japanese animation is often the youth memory of that era and time, and at the same time, there is usually nothing that can compete with Japanese animation for the attention of children of all ages, especially such an excellent TV animation as "Detective Conan", which will be broadcast again and again on major TV stations across the country.
Therefore, this song represents more than just an animated OP for Chinese audiences, this is a testimony of youth.
Zhou Xiao's singing on the stage just now is actually very good, but his current performance style is simplified, although the audience's love is devoted, it can't be regarded as very high, Sister Sakai Quanshui actually didn't want to make the atmosphere high, but she couldn't stand the audience resonance, so there was a bang. The whole venue sounded like an explosion with huge cheers, almost not overturning Sister Izumi on the stage, and it was natural that she could sing the wrong note.
"Hey, do you think that being all-stars will make money when they come to China?" Zhou Xiao suddenly asked Uncle Inoue beside him.
Being All-Stars, Sakai Izumi, B'z Erel, Daikoku Moji, Ueki Aiya, Mieda Yunatsu, Mai Kuraki. Tetsuro Oda, wands, BAAD...... Although many of these people have disbanded and retired, as long as a few and a half come, and with proper publicity, it is estimated that it will be enough to hold a huge concert in the stadium of 80,000 people.
You know, not only Conan, but also some of these people have sung the theme song of "Slam Dunk", even if it is not the original song. But for many audiences in the mainland, even if it is just a version performed by Tetsuro Oda, it is enough to pay back the ticket price.
"This ...... It's hard, being a being. There's not much left now...... "Uncle Inoue said.
"yes...... There are some things that you won't have the opportunity to appreciate anymore after this time. Zhou Xiao said regretfully.
After changing his clothes, Zhou Xiao returned to the edge of the stage and waited.
"Sister Izumi's song...... That's a nice sound. "By Zhou Xiao's side, he has been here today. But Yuko and Shinoda who will not appear.
"yes, she's a lot better than I do." Zhou Xiao said with a smile.
"What happened to you just now?" Yuko asked.
Speaking of which, Yuko and Shinoda have recently had a change. The relationship between the two girls and Zhou Xiao is the closest in the AKB group, but even so, in the past few years, they and Zhou Xiao are still separated by such a layer, such as calling this matter, even after having an intimate relationship with Zhou Xiao, they still call Zhou Xiao "Brother Zhou Xiao", until in recent months, they have finally gradually abandoned this maturity, and they can easily call Zhou Xiao by name or shout "you" directly.
This change made Zhou Xiao very happy, although he didn't say it, but as a Chinese, he still prefers this title to the Japanese habit of "San" to "San" at every turn.
"I haven't sung seriously for too long, and I suddenly feel like I don't know why I want to sing anymore, but now it's fine." Zhou Xiao said.
"That's good, Zhou Xiao, if you can't sing, we'll be very troubled." Yuko Road.
"Yes, then we will have to support you AKB." Shinoda is also teasing on the side.
"What raised you and raised me, maybe you can say that to AKB, but between us, don't say that anymore." He felt that the relationship between the two sides could be deepened, so there was no need to worry too much about many things.
After Sister Sakai Izumi on the stage sang two songs, Zhou Xiao also appeared again.
"Thank you, sister, China's stage...... Pretty powerful, right? The man came up and thanked him first, not only to thank her for being able to help him appear at the concert as a guest, but also to thank her for being there just now to help him get out of his confusion.
"Yes, it's amazing, but it's all thanks to Conan-kun." Sister Quanshui smiled.
"Sister, your own strength is also very important." Zhou Xiao said.
The two people chatted on the stage, and the audience below followed the media from Japan for a burst of applause, and the interaction between these two people on the stage will definitely cause quite a huge wave in the Japanese entertainment industry tomorrow.
Zhou Xiao and Sakai Quanshui, a couple, have always been very delicate in the Japanese entertainment industry, and on the water, no official media will report on the relationship between the two, after all, they have never admitted anything.
But in the gossip media, there have always been many speculations about the relationship between the two, because they have never cared about the eyes of the media, usually together, whether it is going to dinner or other activities together, the two interact as usual like very close sisters and brothers, this relationship seems to be very close but there is not much contact, and it seems that they respect each other like guests and make it impossible to guess their true relationship.
For example, now that Sakai Spring Water is appearing at Zhou Xiao's concert, what kind of relationship are they lovers? Obviously, Zhou Xiao screamed as a sister, but can it be said that they are really sisters and brothers? The relationship between the two seems to be a little too close, after all, inviting this sister to appear is not something that anyone can do lightly.
But in any case, the debut of these two people is big news, even if they don't say anything when they report it, just stating that the appearance of Sakai Spring Water is enough to make the Japanese entertainment industry and even ordinary people crazy, especially for those who have booked tickets for Zhou Xiao's concert, this sister has appeared in the mainland, and if she doesn't appear here, you can't say anything, right?
Sister Sakai Izumizu doesn't say much. After saying hello to Zhou Xiao, the two immediately began to enter the chorus, and the song they sang together was Sister Quanshui's divine comedy "Don't Give Up".
On MTV's unplugged program that year, Zhou Xiao also sang this song with Sakai Springs.
At that time, because it was Sakai Spring Water's program, most of the time, Zhou Xiao did supporting roles, and he put more of his mind on the guitar and his own harmony.
This time, the song "Don't Give Up" is slightly different, and the voices of Zhou Xiao and Sakai Spring Water are in half of the paragraph. And for the harmony part, the two will also do it for each other.
Nearly ten years have passed, and their relationship has long evolved beyond the relationship between ordinary lovers or friends to like family, between a look, a small movement, and even a smile, the two use tacit cooperation to compose that incomparably moving melody.
Although offstage, the two have sung various music together countless times, but at this moment on the stage. Time passed, and when the two finally sang the last part of the song, they still saw the reluctant love in each other's eyes.
Chorus in front of tens of thousands of people...... It's so good, it's so reluctant...... But...... It's about time.
Yes. Time's up.
When the last note of "Don't Give Up" disappeared from the fingertips of the band players, Zhou Xiao and Sakai Izumi put down the microphone behind their hands unsatisfactorily.
A glance at each other, countless tacit understandings circulated in the eyes of the two.
"Thank you." Zhou Xiao didn't use the microphone, but said directly to Sakai Spring.
In the concert hall cheered by tens of thousands of people, it was impossible for a voice of thanks to reach my sister's ears. But it doesn't matter, she must be able to hear and understand Zhou Xiao's thanks.
"Let's thank Sakai Izumii once again for her appearance!" Zhou Xiao raised the microphone again and said to the audience members.
Applause rang out. Sakai Izumi bowed slightly to the audience and finally walked off the stage.
Seeing off Sister Quanshui, Zhou Xiao's concert is also nearing the end.
Some reluctance.
When he announced that he was going to hold a concert before, even until he decided on the concert, started training and exercise, and even before he appeared on the stage, Zhou Xiao regarded the concert purely as one of his jobs, and the purpose of this work was to make AKB's road in China smooth in the next few years.
In his mind, in his body, there was not much excitement and anticipation.
This caused him to encounter a lot of trouble during the concert, and it was even difficult to continue singing the song for a while.
Fortunately, at this time, there was also Sister Sakai Izumi standing on the edge of the stage.
Her gaze, her silent support behind the scenes, helped Zhou Xiao find her state in time, and even let her regain her love for music.
After singing the last song, Zhou Xiao relaxed and said: "I want to thank Sister Quanshui again, it is her help that allowed me to get back to where I am today and even regain my pure love for music." â
The two concerts of AKB and Zhou Xiao in the imperial capital ended like this.
After completing the concert in the imperial capital, the next day, Zhou Xiao took the AKB girls to hold a second concert in the magic capital.
Sister Sakai Spring Water appeared as usual, different from the previous imperial capital concert, this time her debut cheers were louder, and even the reporters in the audience were more than doubled, these reporters flew from Japan after getting the news, Zhou Xiao is a big name, but Zhou Xiao's concert is not much surprising news because there has been news for a long time, Sakai Spring Water is an extremely fresh news, and everyone will naturally rush to it.
At the end of the Modu concert, Zhou Xiao said: "Today's concert is coming to an end, and at this point, our four concerts here have also come to an end. â
"Oh!?" The rice players sat up straight and even stood up, Zhou Xiao's traditional art, naturally, what kind of surprise was announced.
However, Zhou Xiao's announcement is actually not surprising to most people who are familiar with AKB: "In the coming year, AZX will establish a new branch in the magic capital, and the name is naturally ...... SNH48ďź â
"Oh!!" Compared to the exclamation, the cheers and applause of the rice were obviously a little more, and the SNH was established or something...... There is basically nothing surprising about the core rice of AKB in China, Zhou Xiao's preparation and paving for SNH, from Li Chun to Maria Suzuki, and even the AZX branch and even Xu Jiao, which have been open for several years in China, but there are not many actions, are obvious preparations for SNH, Japanese rice may not pay much attention to these things, but for Chinese rice, it is impossible for everyone to be unclear about these things.
Of course, the fans are extremely happy, the establishment of a branch in China or something is something that everyone has long been looking forward to, and what is even more powerful is that now it is said that the branch will be established, which is directly under AZX instead of cooperating with domestic companies like Zhou Xiao did in his previous life, and everyone's support for such a branch will definitely be more sufficient than that kind of cooperative group! (To be continued......)
