Chapter 226. Struggle for Tsukasa Higashino (4000 words)
The song "Lemon" can really be regarded as suddenly rushing to the credit list.
Even those singers who had just released a new song watched themselves being run over with a confused expression, and then couldn't help but touch their heads inexplicably - no... Why do you seem to have been run over by something?
What is it?
They were surprised to see Lemon, which was seventh on the distribution list.
Are there any respected singer seniors who want to rush to the credit list recently? Why haven't we heard anything?
But when they stabilized and carefully flipped through the song "Lemon" and the author's name, they showed a sudden realization... No, it's an even more stunned expression - Tsukasa Higashino? I've heard of this person, it's the author of "Unnatural Death".
Tsukasa Higashino's name is still known to many singers, after all, "Unnatural Death" is now very popular, and it can be said that it is out of the circle, and many fans like this comic.
But... I have the impression that Tsukasa Higashino is a comic book author? Why did you suddenly put a foot on the distribution list?
They couldn't figure it out, so they could only watch Tsukasa Higashino, a phenomenal manga author, sing "Lemon" on the distribution list... That is, they dance on their heads.
But to be honest, the popularity of the song "Lemon" was not unexpected by Tsukasa Higashino.
In 19 years, he cut down 3 million letters, and was recognized by the Japan Record Association as "the fastest work in history to reach 2 million downloads", and the number of YouTube MVs played "Lemon" exceeded more than 400 million... If this song doesn't take the credit list directly... That's a strange thing.
This was a hit single after it was released that year.
Tsukasa Higashino nodded in satisfaction as he looked away from Lemon and began to look at the latest episode of Unnatural Death.
The words "Happy Honey Cake Factory" in "Unnatural Death" this time resonated with many people.
Sano's father figure in "Unnatural Death" can be said to be very successful.
Many people are expressing their opinions in the comments.
I remembered my father, who cut his hand while working in a factory, and he just went to the hospital for surgery without saying a word, and when he came back, he didn't say a word of discomfort. ’
'I used to ride a motorcycle home at night, and I tripped directly over a pit on the road, and the whole person flew a long way, and a person couldn't get on the motorcycle in pain, so I could only push the motorcycle home with my blood-stained hands... Sometimes I really feel bitter, but I think of my wife and daughter..."Lemon" is also a good song... The lyrics and tunes make me feel very warm, thank you Higashino-san. ’
There are different opinions, and "Unnatural Death" has become a platform for many people to come and share their stories.
This is actually a vague tradition for fans of "Unnatural Death".
The last time I talked about the discrimination against Japanese women in the courts, many women came forward to express their thoughts.
"Unnatural Death" has become a stress reducer for many social people, and many people sigh their stories while watching "Unnatural Death".
Tsukasa Higashino only glanced twice, then turned to the comments section of "Lemon".
I felt like I had grown up quietly without hearing any touching songs in the past 10 years, but when I heard Lemon for the first time, it hit my heart, so I downloaded it right away. Then I was thinking about what other works Higashino-san had, so I flipped through it again... It turned out that this was actually the theme song of the comic... It's a good comic and a song...'
Although I am not a young person, Yonezu-san's songs and paintings are very charming, and I am full of energy and healing these days. Thank you Higashino-san for "Lemon", and I'll also find an opportunity to buy a single book for "Unnatural Death". ’
Just looking at the evaluation, there are many people at the bottom who think that Higashino Tsukasa sings very well... Especially the iconic fresh singing voice, and the very magical 'crookedness' in the post-processed songs... This is a big reason why they love the song "Lemon".
Yonezu Genshi's clear voice full of characteristics is really useful.
Tsukasa Higashino nodded, and then began to sort out the current situation.
The readers' praise of "Unnatural Death" this time directly rushed to more than 730 votes, which can be regarded as an explosive growth.
Because no matter what kind of manga it is, as long as it is squeezed into 700 votes, it is very difficult to grow again... At most, it remained stable within more than 700 votes.
Suddenly a little bit like this... It was a surprise to them.
There is no problem at all with explosive growth.
The editors of Urashima Publishing House are not the kind of vase ornaments that only 'wah, wow, wow', and they immediately smell a hint of the sprint to the two million copies of Unnatural Death.
They were summoned by the editor-in-chief of Urashima and began to analyze whether they could take advantage of this popularity to rush sales and put "Unnatural Death" in the ranks of the ceiling of Japanese comics.
And at this time.
There is still a week left before the release of the fourth volume of Unnatural Death.
Of course, the sudden popularity of "Lemon" has also attracted many music TV stations, and now it just happens to belong to the period of the fire of "Unnatural Death", and it is absolutely no problem to follow the trend and rub the popularity at this time.
They first introduced the music, and the show also invited a few singers who have a bit of weight in the Japanese music scene, and these singers have said that the song "Lemon" is indeed a good song, sad but not sad.
It should be said that it deserves to be professional-grade.
Compared to the comments on online posts such as "reminiscing about girlfriends, reminiscing about their own dogs, recalling the beauty of running in the sunset that year" - even if they are nonsense, they will not run the train like netizens, after all, most Japanese people don't eat dog meat.
It's just that during the show, I don't know if it was the director's request or a sudden accident.
A female singer guest added a scene to herself, and while wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she said that Mr. Higashino had recently encountered an unfortunate incident, so she could write such a song?
Her words made the audience watching the excitement at the bottom also suddenly open their mouths and suddenly realized - I see, no wonder Mr. Higashino can write such a sad song, it turns out that he has suffered misfortune recently.
This statement is obviously much more acceptable than what some music magazines out there say that Tsukasa Higashino is a 'once-in-a-millennium' musical genius... It's like in my previous life, 'I once pierced a 50cm steel plate in a state of extreme anger,' as long as it's not particularly exaggerated, it can be accepted.
After all, emotional resonance is always closer to life than verbal ethereal 'genius'.
Many fans who have fallen into the pit of Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death" because of "Lemon" are looking at each other and expressing concern... No way? Higashino-sensei suffered misfortune? Will he kill himself?
There are quite a few suicides in Japan, and it is quite normal for celebrities, singers, and even great writers to commit suicide.
Fans began to analyze one after another, and they all worriedly felt that it was very possible, otherwise why did Tsukasa Higashino write such a song?
Later, there was news from someone I don't know, saying that Urashima Publishing House forced Tsukasa Higashino, in order to keep him the quality of his works, so he was not allowed to hire a comic assistant, so that Tsukasa Higashino, a national-level comic author, could only complete the drawing of "Unnatural Death" alone.
As soon as this news came out, many fans were in an uproar.
You must know that "Bad Cold" is a weekly comic, and Tsukasa Higashino and the monthly magazine "Lonely Gourmet" need to be drawn together... If it's really as the rumors say...
Many people's minds simply sketch out the sunken eyes, pale and frail Tsukasa Higashino is working the work desk to complete his work, he coughs from time to time, and his originally young body is also seriously ill... Then lie down in the hospital bed...
The rumors are getting more and more outrageous.
No one could stand it.
Many people, including some fans of "Unnatural Death" who were inexplicably involved, went to Urashima Publishing House to seek justice for Tsukasa Higashino.
- Don't think that this kind of fan behavior doesn't happen in reality, in fact, singers or little fresh meat fans have made countless similar jokes.
Many comic fans are inexplicable, but since they have been involved in the turmoil, they are also a little concerned.
Could it be that Higashino-sensei is really like what others say? Abused by a black-hearted publishing house?
So that's the case, no wonder Tsukasa Higashino drew the phrase 'Happy Honey Cake Factory' this time... Isn't this a hint that he himself is drawing comics at the Black Heart Press?
They combined the plot, and then fed back to "Lemon" and Tsukasa Higashino, and they also felt that it was very possible.
The situation has reached such a point, and the editor-in-chief of Urashima is also caught losing his hair.
Yes?
Urashima Publishing House abuses Higashino-sensei?
I'm almost tempted to carry him to my shrine, and you're still going to say that there is something wrong with Urashima Press?
And the manga assistant Urashima Publishing House actually asked Hosokawa Koharu to remind Higashino Tsukasa many times, but Higashino Tsukasa just doesn't need it... Can I still stuff it in someone else if they don't want it?
The editor-in-chief of Urashima also thought about it, maybe this matter was poked out, and some people might say that they Urashima Publishing House abused comic book authors... But who would have thought that "Lemon" would be like this for a manga theme song?
He was a little helpless, and finally hurriedly pulled several well-known newspaper publishers to hurriedly issue a statement - the fact that Urashima Publishing House had never abused Higashino-sensei, it was Higashino-sensei's own request, and said that he didn't need a manga assistant.
This inexplicable star-chasing behavior made Higashino Tsukasa cry and laugh, he had heard some fans confused star-chasing behavior before, but he didn't expect that this matter could be spread on himself.
He issued a statement on paper with Urashima Publishing House, and he really succeeded in suppressing the turmoil.
But what Higashino didn't expect was that the fans who got the answer didn't give up their 'random analysis', and after many inquiries, they finally learned about the current situation of Higashino from a student at Kitagijuku.
His parents died together, leaving Tsukasa Higashino and his sister to live in Tokyo.
As soon as this news broke, many fans were surprised.
They have been complaining about this and that on the Internet, but they didn't expect it at all... Truly inspirational characters are around...
There is a good saying that life is a dilemma... But Higashino Tsukasa is too difficult, right?
Directly sacrifice to the heavens of the parents?
These fans didn't care about the details, and when they heard the news, they spread it around, and many people expressed skepticism, thinking that this might be a simple hype by Tsukasa Higashino.
But someone responded immediately, Tsukasa Higashino is already so popular, there is no need to joke about his parents anymore - isn't it looking for death if public figures fabricate fake news?
If it's in the Celestial Empire, you don't have to worry too much about this kind of thing, because no matter how you expose it, there will always be fans to help you speak, and you can pretend to be dead when the time comes.
But in Japan... The people here have a natural sense of awe for the news lead, and the news lead also has a great influence on the people, if you really dare to fabricate some fake news, it will be exposed in the media at that time... It's not just a small matter like damaging one's image.
To put it seriously, this person can be regarded as ruined, and no matter where he goes, he will be rejected by his peers.
The impact of the family issue on Tsukasa Higashino is getting bigger and bigger, and Tsukasa Higashino has won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, so many people have paid attention to it.
This also made Higashino Tsukasa on the side press his eyebrows.
When things get to this point, it's not easy for him to deal with them if he doesn't end up.
Maybe that's the price of using Lemon... Yonezu Genshi is indeed a charismatic singer, otherwise he wouldn't have made trouble because of a song.
As for the Kita Juku...
This can't be blamed on Ryuichi Yoshimine, the old fox principal.
After all, the original owner's family suffered at that time, and the death of his parents, and the fact that all relatives and friends avoided it was not a secret matter.
This was still a topic of conversation among classmates at the school for a while, and many people were very sympathetic to the original owner about this matter.
Luckily... The news of Chihaya Higashino's mental illness did not spread... This more or less relieved Tsukasa Higashino.
It can be regarded as a rainy day, the backhand he arranged in the school before has an effect, and the propaganda of Higashino Chihaya is actually something wrong with his body and needs to recuperate.
If Higashino Chihaya's mental illness was exposed, Higashino Chihaya recovered later, and then found that many people across the country knew that she had suffered from mental illness... It must have been another heavy blow to her.
As long as this matter is not exposed, then everything is okay.
And strictly speaking, these things are shaken out, but it is conducive to his image in the face of society...
Tsukasa Higashino let out a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and decided to accept an interview invitation from NHK, who was also the recipient of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, so it was not surprising that a TV station like NHK invited him.
He plans to answer some people's questions on the show, to calm down the turmoil and build a comic book author who works hard and strives to be the best, and it is also conducive to the popularity of "Lemon" and "Unnatural Death".
Let's just pick a name-
Work hard for Tsukasa Higashino!
