206. secret base ~君がくれたもの~
"A song...... I'm looking forward to what kind of work Yujun will come up with. Is it similar to the previous "butter-fly"? ”
Qin Fuzhu stepped forward, took the piece of paper in Jiang Yu's hand, and then unfolded it. The other three girls also came over and looked at the piece of paper that was unfolded by the piano blower.
"secret base ~君がくれたもの~?"
The four girls looked puzzled and read out the first line in unison. This line of words translates as: Secret Base ~ All you gave me ~ At first glance, it seems to be a very inexplicable name. However, the quality of the song itself is staggering, and in Jiang Yu's previous life, he was named the title of "Tear-jerking Divine Comedy" by many two-dimensional houses.
The song, sung by the girl band ZONE in 2001, once soared to No. 2 on the Oricon charts, and twice appeared on the stage of the Red and White Battle, becoming the highest-selling single in the history of ZONE. It is also the theme song of the TBS drama series "キッズウォー", the ending song of the TV anime "Today's 5th Year 2 Class" and "Unheard of Flower Name", and the theme song of Drama "Children's Troubles 3".
Of course, in the previous life, this song was mainly familiar to the teenagers of the Celestial Empire, because of the TV animation "Unheard of Flower Name". Because of the uncomfortable plot of the animation itself, with this song that has an amazing fit and is always inserted by God as ED, the animation also has the title of "tearjerker". And this song, which is ED, has become a famous "tear-jerking divine comedy".
In terms of consequentiatry, this song should be a better song than "butter-fly". After all, the latter only ranks 47th on the Oricon List, while the former reaches second place. The former was released in 2001 and the latter in 1999, but there is also an insurmountable gap in record sales.
However, in the country of the previous life, due to the addition of childhood memories, "butter-fly" must have a higher status in the minds of many post-90s otaku than "secret base~everything you gave me~". And although the two songs are called "Divine Comedy" at the same time - in that impetuous era when everything was blown as "divine works" and "divine comedy", these two songs are rare songs that Jiang Yu fully agrees with - they are also subdivided into "Burning to the Divine Comedy" and "Tear-jerking Divine Comedy".
However, the remnant thing is that Jiang Yu was the first to contact the song in his previous life.,And then the animation that came into contact again.,And I didn't cry much during the whole thing.,After reading it, when I told the person who recommended it to me.,It made the other side speechless for a while.。
Later, at the strong request of the other party, Jiang Yu carefully reflected on the question of "Why didn't you cry when you saw the name of the unheard flower?" "This is a question that is full of slots at a glance.
The answer is: the kind of feelings shown in the animation are similar to the feelings of friends who grew up and are separated after graduating from high school. And maybe it's because I've experienced this kind of feeling, or maybe it's because my feelings are relatively weak (fog), so Jiang Yu really didn't feel so sad after reading it.
In a word - no tears touched.
However, the kind of friendship that has been maintained from childhood to adulthood and hopes that each other will not change for the rest of their lives makes Jiang Yu moved and a little envious at the same time.
Of course, these things do not hinder the status of this song in Jiang Yu's heart, and the classic degree of the song itself is undoubted. Even if there is no popularity bonus of the later series of theme songs and ending songs, this is also a song that is destined to be remembered, but it may not be blown into a "divine comedy" or something by many otaku.
While the melody itself is sensational, the idea of the lyrics is also much higher than those songs that only talk about love and love. It's not that the song itself doesn't have elements of love, at that time, the newly debuted girl group of course only released some songs that were in line with the trend of the times. It's just that when it is eaten with "Unheard Flower Names", it can indeed be interpreted from the aspect of friendship.
And the interesting point is that because of the huge momentum of "Unheard of Flower Names" and the lyrics of "I believe that in August ten years, we will meet again". As a result, ZONE Band, which had already disbanded in 2005, made a comeback in August 2011 (the original song was released in 2001) and held a concert.
However, it is embarrassing that ZONE disbanded again two years later. The promise that they promised each other at the beginning will never change, but after all, it will gradually deteriorate over the years, and in the end, they will just go their separate ways and end up.
The cruelty of the promises and realities of ten years ago are laid bare in front of people's eyes, and life is not as good as it should be. There is only a light sigh, I wish each other a good and good time.
Jiang Yu's thoughts about this song are probably like this.
It is precisely because of the extraordinary status of this song in Jiang Yu's heart that he decided to decide whether to take it out or not after taking a look at the level of several girls in the light sound department.
Regarding his plan to gain a foothold in this world with the help of the cultural resources of the previous world, Jiang Yu set the bottom line for himself - he can borrow it, but he must not insult the classics. Even to come up with something like this in the case of surpassing the original work is Jiang Yu's ideal situation.
Needless to say, the level of Qin Fuzhu and others can be regarded as outstanding in this age group and even a few years older. Even Yui Hirasawa, whose skills are a little rough, will soon be able to catch up with the rest of the members with the blessing of the BUG-level talent skill of "absolute tone".
It stands to reason that this kind of band, which has only been formed for about a month, will be difficult to successfully perform music that satisfies Jiang Yu and even Qinfu Qianxia. However, because of the most tacit bass and drum kits, the guitar and electronic organ that were added later were well connected, so that the songs played by the whole band were out of the initial jerky stage.
In the language of the game, it is the band's performance skills, skipping the three stages of beginner learning, first glimpse of the door, and a little bit of success, and it is "mastery" from the beginning.
In other words, the soul of this band is the two girls who grew up together since childhood and have completely different personalities. It is precisely because of the existence of the serious but shy Mio Akiyama and the smug Ritsu Tanai that the band that has been inexplicably named "HTT" by the girls has been able to grow so quickly.
After seeing the current good performance level and amazing potential of the four girls, Jiang Yu of course gave away this classic song happily.
It's not like he can't sing on his own, just like "butter-fly". But after all, the original song was written specifically for the girl group, and Jiang Yu had already formed a fixed impression in his heart. So if it can be handed over to another talented girl band to reproduce or even surpass the original work, Jiang Yu is naturally happy to see it.
What's more, even if it's not for the purpose of gratitude, Jiang Yu wants to see where this talented band can go in the future.
