Chapter 12: Singing on the Street

Although the social status of comedy artists in Japan is also good, it is undeniable that the vast majority of comedy artists may not really want to do this in their hearts. The reason is simple, it is not easy to be a comedy artist, and it can even be said that a comedy artist is much more difficult to do than other artists! Don't think that Japanese comedy artists just stand in front of the stage and talk casually, this line of work is also very difficult.

For example, Japan has a very famous and very vicious funny trick of making a glass cover with an opening at the top and attaching it to the head, and then pouring all kinds of reptiles into the glass cover! Especially frogs and snakes! That's right, the picture is very shocking and very funny, and the snake that fell in must have pulled out its fangs, but this kind of thing, singers can't do it, actors can't do it, idols will never do it, only funny artists can do it! And don't think that only young funny artists can do it, some funny artists who have debuted for more than ten years can still do it! When Zhou Xiao saw such a link, and saw that the heads of funny artists were surrounded by all kinds of reptiles and were still trying to be funny, what happened spontaneously in his heart was not hilarious but admiration!

The work of singers and songwriters is at least relatively simple, and they don't need to pay too much physical effort, and they are too dangerous and difficult to do, but what this industry needs is genius creation and talented voices, without these two points, it is difficult to get ahead in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Actors also need great talent, either you have deep acting skills, and then you start from the smallest role and stay up for decades, maybe you will become a famous ...... Supporting. Either you are handsome and inhumane, and you may be able to seize the opportunity to be praised by some company, but even if you are the latter, you also need to work hard and need talent, because when you enter this industry, you will find that handsome men are everywhere, and if you are handsome, you may not be able to eat.

Therefore, funny artists or something may not be their original goal, if you want to confirm the truth of this sentence, just ask how many of the funny artists can play the guitar.

Teruki Goto in football time, Akihiro Tsunoda in Tokyo 03, Hidetaka Kano and many other male artists all play the guitar well, and many female comedy artists also have a pretty good voice, such as the outrageous round Naomi Watanabe.

It's just that those who can play the guitar may not have the talent to make music, and singers who have a good voice but can't be famous are even more numerous, and their appearance is really not very good, but this appearance is relatively suitable for being a funny artist, so this will have to enter this industry.

Otherwise, if there is a choice, I am afraid that few people will voluntarily choose to be a funny artist.

"Go out and sing......" Zhou Xiao picked up the guitar and sighed a little in his heart, is this the hard work of the people before the heavens will descend, and their muscles and bones will starve their bodies?

After plucking two melodies at random, Zhou Xiao began to think about the songs he could choose to sing next.

The sound of the acoustic guitar is relatively suitable for Chinese folk songs, but he is now in Japan, and there are not so many pop songs suitable for acoustic guitar playing, especially in the Japanese entertainment industry more than ten years later. In other words, Zhou Xiao didn't have so much in his mind. No way, most of the documents in his mind are the most popular part of music and TV movies in Japan every quarter of the year, and there are not so many less popular and more niche parts.

"So...... First of all, you need to rearrange the songs, and rearrange some popular songs that will be popular in the future into a style suitable for acoustic guitar before you can take them out and sing them. Zhou Xiao thought while plucking the strings.

The first thing he searched for in his mind was a show that Natsuki Sato had participated in.

Natsuki Sato is a 2nd student of AKB48, compared to the previous member, Natsuki Sato is an ordinary member who is almost completely unknown, but what really makes Zhou Xiao care is that Natsuki Sato once participated in a show called "Subtle", when she was asked to sing on the street and receive at least 5,000 yuan within five hours.

Then, after studying the guitar sheet for a while, the girl took the guitar on her shoulder. In five hours, the income of 5,000 yuan is already good for Zhou Xiao, and the production staff of the TV station and Natsuki Sato seem to think the same way, maybe everyone will be a little worried about whether they can make enough money. But when the show started, the situation that appeared was a little surprising to everyone.

Natsuki Sato practiced three songs at the time, one was a very simple "GIVEMEFIVE", and the second was the very famous "Infinite Replay" ("HeavyRotation") in Japan, because I had to take care of friends who were not so familiar with AKB, so unless it was a very simple English or Japanese name like "GIVEMEFIVE", most of the names in the novel, I would directly use the most common Chinese translation. The song "Turning into a Cherry Blossom Tree" was released in February 2011.

Zhou Xiao felt that if he went out to sing, he couldn't just sing one song, so the three AKB songs sung by Natsuki Sato could be selected first.

It's just that these three songs can't be used as the title songs, although each of the three songs is a million singles, but AKB's songs account for "catchy" at most, and there are not many if you really want to talk about musicality, so Zhou Xiao must also prepare a few decisive songs, these decisive songs must be the type that can make the scene quite obsessed!

On the first day after Zhou Xiao crossed, a little time passed after he dictated three songs by Natsuki Sato and adapted two songs, and tomorrow, what will be waiting for him?

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiao got up from the bed.

Although he was a stinky otaku in China in his previous life, his life was not very good, but compared with his current state, he was much less than his current state, and he had sufficient "spiritual nutrition" at that time, well, in fact, there were many things to chase at that time, the current season's Japanese dramas and American dramas, the season's animation, Chinese station novels, and then casually playing games, although Zhou Xiao was not very good, but at least it was quite fulfilling.

And now? The things on the TV are not good-looking, and the small room is a little sleepy and can't stretch out, this kind of day is just one day, and Zhou Xiao feels that it is a little too much.

Zhou Xiao picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, and the time of 5:30 was displayed on the small black and white screen.

After muttering for a while, Zhou Xiao still got up, originally he thought that even if he went out to sing, he would not go out so early, even if he caught up with the work time, and with the hurried behavior of Tokyo people, I am afraid that no one would stop to listen to his singing.

But if you think about it carefully, you don't have anything to do during the day anyway, so why bother being bored at home, since you've already thought about going out to sing, don't worry about being embarrassed or having other lazy thoughts.

Haode tidied up his appearance and rented such a small room, which naturally would not prepare a place for you to take a bath, so Zhou Xiao had to carefully wipe his body before going out, at least not to let himself have any odor. Then combed a more ordinary appearance, found a more normal, not so formal casual clothes and put it on, and walked out of his room with a guitar on his back.

Tokyo is indeed a very fast-paced city, Zhou Xiao didn't have a deep feeling when he heard such an introduction before, until now he is in it, he feels the real rhythm of Tokyo in 2000.

"Stomping ......" Beside him, there were men and women in formal clothes walking by, everyone moving so fast and not squinting, compared to these people, he looked like an alien hippie in casual clothes and carrying a guitar on his back.

But Zhou Xiao walked with peace of mind, and after making up his mind, Zhou Xiao understood that whether it was a funny artist, a singer or an actor, he needed to abandon his shame, if he couldn't even stand walking on the road with a guitar on his back, how could he do it when he sang in front of everyone later?

"Sure enough, I can only choose here." Eventually, he chose the place where he would perform today.
