"Of course there is no problem with this." Watanabe Riku immediately replied, "Not to mention that this song is originally Ye Jun's. Whether it is to be released as a single or has other uses is Ye Jun's own freedom. As for myself, when I heard this song, I felt quite happy. Therefore, I also hoped from the bottom of my heart that this song can be sold publicly as a single, so that more people can also feel such happiness."

"Okay." Asakura Naoko held the steering wheel with one hand and made a gesture of raising her hand to raise her hand. "If it is officially released, I will buy a lot of photos for relatives and friends at home. Not only that, I will also make special explanations. The first time this song was disclosed was at my wedding with Ah Lu."

"If that's the case, then when promoting it, it will be specially noted that it is a 'Wedding Song for Friends', how about it?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.

"Great." Asakura Naoko nodded at him.

"That's great." Watanabe Riki deliberately imitated Naoko Asakura's words, and said, "I agree very much."

"Since both of you think so," Ye Zhao said, "then you will make a sample and send it to the producer, and then decide the time for the release."

That night, Ye Zhao stayed at Watanabe Lu's house for a night, and it was still the guest room last time. Early the next morning, Naoko Asakura, who was still asleep, did not disturb Naoko Watanabe and Ye Zhao quietly left home and headed to the station.

At the restaurant near the station, the two had a simple breakfast.

"Thank you for coming this time, Ye Jun." Watanabe Riku said, "It's obviously so busy."

"Brother Watanabe always has exceptions." Ye Zhao said seriously, "I will never forget that at the beginning, Brother Watanabe once extended a helping hand to me." For him, who had just arrived at that time, such a help is worth remembering for the rest of his life.

"Anyway, please come on in the future. Although Tokyo and Kyoto are a bit far away, I will support you whether it is in Kanto or now in Kansai." Watanabe Riki smiled.

...

After returning to Tokyo, Ye Zhao entered the recording studio and devoted himself to the audition and production of the new song.

Season, love, mood, and inspiration are several elements in popular songs that will never go out of date at any time. And the song Ye Zhao is planning to use as the title song of the new single is a positive and bright love song.

Because the new single released this time has a clear goal, which is two words "best seller" and two words "national", so when he decided on the new song, he consciously set his goal on the future super best-selling song.

However, as a qualified copycat, one thing you must understand is that not all the best-selling things in the future are suitable for you to use.

For example, if SMAP's "The Only Flower in the World" is used to sing this song for yourself, it can be concluded that 99% of the song will not succeed as the original singer, and the other one may be that there is a red rain in the sky.

If the songwriter Hirohara Keiyuki sang it himself, this song would be his ordinary single level, and even if it was a big hit, it would not be as evil as that. It can be said that it was SMAP that made the song "The Only Flower in the World" a national song, rather than "The Only Flower in the World" a national group.

Similarly, among the best-selling singles in the new century, there is also the song "TSUNAMI" by the stars of Nantian. This song is indeed very good. In terms of musicality alone, it can drive the people to more than 300 meters. As for sales, it is also very powerful, and it has a record of "the last 2 million 8CM single in Japanese music history."

But if Ye Zhao was thirty years old, he would have copied this song. At his age of twenty, if he took out such a song that only an old man could write, the effect would be counterproductive.

There are also records-setting millions of singles such as Ayumi Hamasaki and Hiroshi Utada. I won’t mention the difference between men and women. These two people, the former is selling well, and they are definitely not just music. The latter is also a bit like a hero in the times, and naturally they are not suitable for use.

Therefore, when choosing a song, it is not just a snap of your head and copying it in the red.

However, we need nationals, best-selling, young people singing without discord, positive and catchy... How many bicycles do you want?

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Zhao finally decided to use it as the main song, "Ki Seki" from GReeeeeN.

This song was released in 2008, and the physical market was increasingly sluggish by the impact of online messaging. Therefore, although the single that included this song won the fourth place on the annual chart, its sales were only about 500,000 copies.

Compared with the era where Ye Zhao was in which he was selling one million copies of the top 20, the 500,000-level single was indeed "just", but in the 2008 market, it was already possible to laugh secretly.

Moreover, the GReeeeeN group is more eye-catching than physical sales. For this song "Ki Seki", the physical sales volume is 500,000 copies, but the sales volume of credits exceeds 2 million. On the karaoke list, it has been the champion of the singing chart for two consecutive years. What does this mean?

It means that even if you rely solely on karaoke, you can lie at home and sleep and earn more than 100 million yuan in annual income.

It can be said that in Japan, the group GReeeeeN may not be well known, but everyone must know the song "Ki Seki". When MS selected the national famous songs, the only song "Ki Seki" among the top ten songs was the single released after 2005. It was able to defeat many famous songs and enter the top ten on the list, which shows how popular this song is.

Although the physical sale of "Ki Seki" is a must-have and the success of the Japanese drama "ROOKIES", he is not a TIE fruit that is nothing. What's more, there is no online messaging in this era.

...Although online sharing has appeared, it is precisely because it appears early that it is easier to rectify it.

Speaking of this, I have to lament the domestic music market. In the era of such a developed and popularized Internet, I began to realize the copyright issue and began to promote genuine versions. The difficulty is comparable to a chess game with two chariots and two horses and two cannons.

However, although Ye Zhao himself had great confidence in the song "Ki Seki", when he brought the song's audition to Nagato Daiyuki, he was rejected for the first time.

"Sorry, Ye Jun. If this song is the main theme, I'm not very optimistic."

Although Ye Zhao is now a singer-songwriter and does not rely on the company's internal composers and music library, what kind of songs he wants to release depends on the producer, which means Nagato Daiyuki.

The process of releasing a new single or album is basically to discuss a theme with the producer, then create songs based on that theme or select songs from the library. Only when the song is approved by the producer and the singer is satisfied will he be officially involved in recording.

This is why the producer has great power, because he controls the singer's musical style and development trend.

Just like Ye Zhao is a producer for Kawamoto Makoto, although Kawamoto Makoto himself can write the song, he still needs his consent when deciding which song to choose as the title song.

Nagato Daiyuki has always been very tolerant of Ye Zhao's musical style. He simply finalized a theme, and then Ye Zhao took out the song, listened to it, and said "OK", and devoted himself to recording. It was that simple.

However, he is tolerant of Ye Zhao's musical style because what Ye Zhao has brought out are best-selling songs of similar age. For an old-fashioned musician like him, you will know whether he can make a big splash. Once he is worried about this song, he will not hesitate or even ruthlessly reject it.

For example, the single "chotto" by Okuro Moji was provided by Tetsuro Oda. For her singer-songwriter, singing songs from other composers seems a bit strange.

The story behind this is that Okuro Maki had just become popular at that time. In order to consolidate her popularity, Nagato Yasuki rejected the original song she handed over and insisted on asking her to sing the song provided by Oda Tetsuro. It is said that when recording this song, Okuro Maki sang it while crying in the recording studio.

Through this incident, we can also see a glimpse of the character "天天天" in Nagato.

"Why?" Ye Zhao asked in the face of Nagato Daiyuki's veto, "Is there any problem with the song?"

"No, it's not a problem with the song." Nagato Oyuki tapped his knee gently with his fingers, "This is a good song, absolutely. Moreover, I admire Ye Jun's idea very much. Adding RAP ROCK elements to the song is really trendy."

Two thousand years later, elements of RAP ROCK can be seen everywhere, but it is indeed very new to this era.

"It is precisely because of this that I feel hesitant." Nagato Daiyuki explained, "I believe this is a good song, but whether the public is ready to accept this style is the biggest problem."

"But, although there is something else added, the essential framework of this song is still a traditional JPOP, and I think it should be fine." Ye Zhao tried his best to fight for himself.

Indeed, many changes have taken place in the music creation techniques now and more than ten years later. But since they are still JPOP, they still have some connections.

"That's it..." Nagato Daiyuki thought for a while, "If Ye Jun insisted on releasing this song, he could put it in the single as a C/W song, or, to release a double A single and put it in the back, what about?"

When I wrote this chapter, I recalled the pop rap group east end×yuri that was short-lived this year. The subsequent visual system rampant or the R&B craze, isn’t it the result of countless predecessors’ digging and digging land. Whether the song Kiseki will become popular in 1995 is of course a mystery. This chapter only represents my personal opinion, or the plot needs.
