On the afternoon of 15 November 1993, Chen Qiming's plane landed in Tokyo, Japan.

As soon as he appeared outside the airport passageway, he was immediately greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the hundreds of Japanese fans who were present.

This is a low-key comparison to the previous time when I came to Japan to shoot the music video and post-production the album.

This time, both Fulong and Genesys are focusing on a high profile.

In order to warm up for the debut song that will start playing tomorrow, two days ago, Genesys announced in major media that Chen Qiming would come to Japan today and bring the news of his first Japanese album "Chen Qiming".

As the sales champion of the Chinese music scene for two consecutive years.

Chen Qiming's previous "Fairy Tales" and "Too Soft Heart" themselves have a lot of popularity in Japan.

In addition, he is very handsome, and the constant publicity of Genesys during this time.

This makes Chen Qiming very popular in Japan.

Overall, Chen Qiming's popularity in Japan may not be as good as that of Japan's local big-name singers.

But with the help of the Asian king and the sales of his first two Chinese albums in Japan, he is definitely one of the most popular Hong Kong and Taiwanese singers in Japan.

Last month, the Japanese media selected a list of the most popular Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

In this list, Chen Qiming is second only to Jackie Chan, Teresa Teng, and Alan Tam, ranking fourth on the list.

Even Leslie Cheung, who was once popular in Asia, is behind him.

Why did Genesys take the initiative to contact Chen Qiming, and even other companies such as Yanyin frequently came to contact?

Here's why.

With the blessing of the title of the king of Chinese music, coupled with Chen Qiming's own popularity in Japan, these Japanese firms have seen his potential.

Therefore, Genesys chose to take Chen Qiming's agency rights in brokerage affairs, and publicized him without asking for anything in return.

"Ernie sauce, ahh......hh

"Chen Qiming, I like you so much......"

"Ahhh I want to sign it, I want to take a photo......"

Outside the airport, hundreds of fans gathered and screamed one after another, attracting a large number of tourists and flight attendants.

"Who's that? Is it Michael Jackson? Lots of fans! ”

Someone didn't know the situation at the scene and turned around and asked the friend next to him.

"Chen Qiming, a singer on Treasure Island, is said to be very talented."

The friend next to him glanced at the posters held by the fans and spoke.

"Is he red?"

"It's okay! His debut magazine is said to be very popular with young people, especially girls. ”

……

"Thank you very much for picking up the plane, and my Japanese debut song "Ryukyuan People's Treasure" will be officially launched on major radio stations tomorrow.

The album "Chen Qiming" will also be official on the 18th, please support it! ”

In the crowd, Chen Qiming signed autographs for these fans and loudly called on them to support his record.

In general, like Hong Kong and Taiwan, Chen Qiming's Japanese fans are mostly girls.

Even, to a certain extent, his fan base in Japan is almost all girls.

In addition to his appearance, the reason for this is also the environment in Japan.

Since the 80s, the Japanese entertainment industry has entered a state of prosperity and decline.

Starting from Yamaguchi Momoe, and then to the four major singers such as Akina Nakamori.

In the whole of Japan, almost all of the top artists are women.

There are also men, such as the junior team of Genesys Office, SMAP, and Kondo and others before.

But overall, there are really few male singers in the Japanese entertainment industry.

And as we all know, the same sex is exclusive.

Male fans generally don't like male singers, but like female singers.

In the same way, women are the same, they don't like female singers, they only like male singers.

Under such circumstances, when there are few high-quality male singers in Japan itself, Chen Qiming, a handsome, young, and talented existence, was immediately liked by these female fans.

Well, let's put it that way! Among the hundreds of female fans present, some people may have become his fans because they thought Chen Qiming's songs were good, but there were absolutely few such fans.

Most fans are still that kind of face control.

They knew Chen Qiming from MVs, magazines or some news from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then they were attracted by his appearance and became his fans.

Chen Qiming didn't stay at the airport for too long, and after signing the fans, he got into the car picked up by the Genesys office and went straight to the Genesys office.

Under the publicity of Warner Records and Genesys Studio, the news that Chen Qiming would come to Japan and will debut his new album title song on the "Music Station" program tomorrow broke the news by the media in a very short time.

Chen Qiming has been attracting the attention of the Japanese media since he joined Genesys Firm.

Just like the Hong Kong and Taiwan media are eager to see if Chen Qiming can open the Japanese market.

The Japanese media are also curious about whether Chen Qiming can become the third person to enter the Japanese market after Teresa Teng and Alan Tam, and want to see what kind of results he can achieve.

So, in the afternoon of the same day, the major evening newspapers began to publicize this incident.

"Can the Chinese Heavenly King be recognized by Japanese fans?" 》

"The Japanese Premiere of the Genius Songwriter Chen Qiming"

"Asian Superstar Chen Qiming Arrives"

Some of these reports are spontaneous, but there are also many masterpieces from Warner Records and Genesys.

Both of these companies have strong strength in Japan, and as soon as they made a move, they shocked the entire Japanese entertainment circle.

Under the propaganda of a large number of newspapers and magazines.

Countless Japanese fans are looking forward to the next day's "Music Station" show.

As the world's second largest record market, it is the center of Asian music.

Japan is not like Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the main position for singers to promote their records is radio broadcasting, and when singers release records, they put their songs on the radio for chart promotion.

The main reason for this is the strength of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, a singer debuts after a few months of training at most, and many singers can't even recognize the full pitch, and completely rely on equipment for tuning.

Therefore, in order to avoid singing mistakes by singers, companies usually choose to send pre-recorded tapes to radio broadcasts for playback.

In this way, it is possible to avoid mistakes in the live ranking of singers.

In Japan, not to mention training for only a few months, you may not be able to make your debut for a few years.

Here, if a singer wants to make his debut, he basically has to go through brutal training, at least one or two years, and at most three or four years.

Many singers basically start training at the age of twelve or thirteen, and then make their debut in their twenties.

It is this kind of harsh and cruel training that makes Japanese singers absolutely capable of playing in their own right.

If you can play, you naturally don't have to worry about making mistakes on the spot.

Therefore, the first choice for Japanese singers to release and hit the charts is TV programs, commonly known as songs.

And because of the booming record market in Japan, many singing programs have been born.

These shows are broadcast once a week, and singers who have debuted or released new albums are invited to perform songs on stage.

In this way, the audience can also see your people and hear your songs, which is very important for publicity.

Well, Hong Kong TVB's "Golden Song" is an imitation of a Japanese singing program.

It's just that the rules have changed, and Japanese singing shows don't prohibit newcomers from singing here.

And "Golden Songs", generally only singers who are on their list can come to the show......

Chen Qiming's "Music Station" singing program is currently one of the largest singing programs in Japan.

It is known as Japan's three major singing programs along with two other singing programs in Japan.

Compared with the other two shows, it will spoof and play the effect of the show.

"Music Station" is very formal, and this show is more formal.

It's mostly about music.

There may be interviews in between, but it's all music-related questions.

In addition, the "Music Station" program also has its own list.

And it has a good influence in Japan.

In anticipation of countless Japanese fans, the next day arrived quickly.
