"I don't know if I will become a top singer," Yoshimura Yumi on the other end of the phone laughed, "However, with such a good start, I am full of expectations for everything in the future."

"In addition to expectations, there is also thanks." Although he is a little careless and unrestrained, it does not mean that he is rude. "Ami and I both know that if we hadn't met Ye Zhaosang, we wouldn't have what we are today. Thank you very much."

After all, Yumi Yoshimura had a difficult time before her debut, and compared with Dakan Yami, who has been smooth sailing all the way so far, his personality is still completely different.

"It's nothing, anyway, please come on later." After hearing a lot of thanks, Ye Zhao got used to it.

...

In an era of extremely prosperous record market, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, heavyweights release records almost every other week. If you want to win the weekly championship, you will not be able to do so without going through some hard work.

Even if I was lucky enough to choose a peaceful day, because it is not the era of later generations that sold cumulative sales in the first week, the miracle of changing from 2,000 to 2 million is still being performed.

It is precisely because it is a bit difficult to win the weekly championship, but it is especially difficult for newcomers. When "Asia's Innocence" was released, its performance did not decline but rose instead, and won the weekly championship with 260,000 tickets, the entire industry looked surprised at this group that emerged from nowhere.

Although it is too exaggerated to call this incident a "miracle", it is still necessary to say "crazy".

What I have to mention here is the 200,000 spare singles that Sony boldly produced when it was producing the single.

After receiving an additional order request from the record seller, Sony first sent out the 200,000 singles that had been prepared long ago, ensuring that there was no out of stock in the record store and thus affecting sales. On the other hand, based on market feedback, it produced another 300,000 copies for stocking in advance.

When the single was released for a week, the advertisement for Kirin Drinks had been aired on TV for a week, and the audience had been bombarded with the phrase "Whether the white pandas are arranged side by side."

Moreover, because the melody is so catchy, you can hum this lyrics by just listening to it once or twice. So, whether it is because the song is really good, or if it is caused by obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is uncomfortable to not listen to the whole song, or for some other reason, this part of the audience who watched the advertisement was also converted into considerable purchasing power.

It is precisely because of the sufficient supply that this single achieved such dazzling results in the second week of its release. Of course, this also caused the fact that these two girls were lucky and did not encounter the terrifying big singer during the release period.

After all, in today's era when popular singers are in a duel, there is something like selling 300,000 copies a week but only winning the runner-up.

You should know that the 1990s was the craziest era in Japanese recording history. In February this year, Mr. Child's single "Famous Poetry" set the highest initial movement in history with a score of 1.2 million copies.

This record lasted for fifteen years. Even monsters like Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikari were unable to break it. It was not until it was ended by AKB after fifteen years, and this record was constantly refreshed by them themselves afterwards.

In addition to the effect from TV advertising, as the record sales began, music magazines, and some variety shows recorded in advance were also slowly played.

It can be seen from the weird lyrics of "Asia's Innocence" and the casual singing of the two girls, that the style of the group is not so "orthodox". After they made their debut in the media, the two girls wore casual T-shirts and jeans, answered questions very straightforwardly during interviews and conversations. The dance she danced during the performance was not as good as twisting casually, no matter where she looked weird.

But it is this casualness and weirdness that these two cute girls say things others dare not say and do things others dare not do in public, regardless of whether this shows the character setting or their true character, such leisure and casualness are what the Japanese people who are suppressed by society and have to play their own roles yearn for.

When the two girls recorded two programs on Kansai TV and Fuji TV were broadcast one after another, a trend was set off among young people almost immediately. In the streets and alleys of Tokyo, among the girls wearing long boots and mini skirts and long brown hair, there were suddenly a group of girls dressed up in neutral and wearing minimalist T-shirts and denims.

The Japanese are the most followers in the world, perhaps no one. For example, as long as a long queue is lined up in front of a bakery, passers-by will naturally think that the things here are very good, and some people even don’t even know what they are selling, so they have already joined the queue.

Therefore, when the gust of PUFFY blew, even if it was just to follow the trend, more and more girls and even teenagers joined the imitation and pursuit team, and pushed them to the highest point with all their hearts.

However, although PUFFY set off such a trend as soon as it debuted, their debut single only won the weekly championship in the second week.

Since this is an era of crazy releases, in addition to the showdown between big-name singers, it is also common for singers from the same company or faction to "kill each other" among singers in the same company or faction.

The opponent PUFFY encountered in the third week... was their producer, Ye Zhao himself.

After all, before PUFFY debuted, no one expected that they had such strong potential, so there was no special selection during the release period, and there was no record that needed to be maintained or impacted.

Moreover, PUFFY and Ye Zhao are different from different record companies. Even if they want to avoid them, it will be much trouble to coordinate between different companies.

Besides, in this era when big figures appear with their works almost the next week, even if Ye Zhao is avoided, other singers will still appear. There is no need to choose a day with them to compete for the championship.
