"If that's the case, I'm happy to pay this bag." Ye Zhao said with a smile. Even though that was the case, he knew clearly in his own heart that this was a goal that seemed promising at first glance but was actually very distant.

What is the concept of two million singles?

There are two million singles, over the years, only BEING's single "Love" (the song title is so long) released by B’z in 1993.

Speaking of this single, there is a little bit of subtlety, or something frustrating.

The year when this single was released was BEING's most powerful year. B’z's single is also the closest BEING singer to the top of the charts. However, in this year, the monster combination named Chuck and Asuka released a monster single called "YAH YAH YAH".

This single was the best in the past, and it won over 400,000 copies of B’z and won their singles championship.

Fortunately, BEING, the album annual chart of that year, did not miss it. ZARD successfully won the album annual chart with the album "Yang れるい", officially marking the band's heyday.

And this is also a sign that BEING is at its peak.

It’s also fate. In the early 1990s, there were several "confrontations" between B’z and Chuck and Asuka, both singles and albums. In the face of this evil group, even a big shot like B’z could hardly get any advantage. Not only were he intercepted and won the New Year’s Championship, but he also intercepted and won the New Year’s Championship in the album.

To be honest, these two bands, which are also composed of two, are also considered serious "formula opponents".

Although only B’z has got one single of the two million level so far, there are several singles with nearly two million. WANDS, Miho Nakayama's "Who in the World" and B’z's single "LOVE PHANTOM" are stuck in about 1.8 million.

With the national popularity of "Don't Give Up", he only sold about 1.6 million copies, which is a big difference from 2 million.

It can be seen that in the 1990s, although sales of one million was easy, sales of two million were really a super difficult thing, with the right time, place and people.

...

The night after the BEER club held a celebration for him, Ye Zhao appeared in the restaurant that he had been to with Sakai Izumi on the day of moving.

After reporting his name, the male waiter still led him to the second floor as he did last time, but it was not the same private room as last time.

Sakai Insumi had arrived first, and Ye Zhao apologized to her: "Sorry, let Sister Insumi wait."

"I suddenly made an appointment with Ye Jun." Sakai Izumizu showed a "no worries" smile.

After ordering the order and waiting for the food to be served, Ye Shogun and Sakai Izumizu chatted: "As far as I can tell, I'm obviously a neighbor who is only 'a wall', but I really rarely meet with Izumizu."

Sakai Izumizu thought for a moment, "It seems that's true?"

"There is no way, because Sister Quanshui's schedule is just the opposite of others." So, although she moved downstairs to live, the place with the greatest chance of meeting them was the late night recording studio.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhao jokingly said, "To be honest, I can't help but think now. Sister Quanshui will go to the recording studio immediately, right? If that happens, I will feel a little sad."

"Don't worry, I need some rest occasionally." After Sakai Izumizu said, he also added a joke, "And since it is to celebrate Ye Jun's first and second place on the list, how can it add psychological burden to Ye Jun?"

"That's what you said," Ye Zhao asked, "Is it special today?"

Sakai Izumi smiled, "Yes, it's special."

...

Ye Zhao came here directly after just ending the meeting with the executive producers of Sony.

PUFFY's debut single has just been on sale for three weeks, and he has already started discussing with their executive producers about hitting the iron while it's hot.

A singer who is also a producer by Ye Zhao, in his career, Ye Zhao is quite relaxed in keeping her posting frequency of two singles and one album a year. In this way, she will not put too much pressure on her, nor will she lack exposure.

However, in terms of PUFFY, his strategy is completely opposite, advocating intensive postings and a large number of exposures.

The reason why these two completely opposite strategies appear is ultimately because the two groups of singers have different positions.

Kawamoto Makoto has a strong personal style and creative ability. Although she still relies on the title song provided by Ye Zhao at this stage, she will become a full singer one day. Even if the momentum declines in the future, there will still be a group of loyal fans following her.

Many female singer-songwriters in the new century, at the beginning of their careers, mostly published songs were written in collaboration with their music teachers. After their personal style gradually formed, they would break away from the protection of their teachers and start to create independently until they grew up to become independent musicians.

To put it bluntly, this combination is a "fast food combination". The lyrics and music are taken by Ye Zhao, and the clothing style is also designed by a special designer based on the positioning made by Ye Zhao for them. There are very few things that really belong to them.

Even with his singing skills, with the singing strength of Dakan Yami and Yoshimura Yumi, if he had not formed such a group, he would probably not even have a chance to debut. Even if he could debut, he would definitely not be able to reach his current level.

Before them, there was no such a weird but interesting combination in the market, so when they appeared, because of the freshness and impact, they almost immediately attracted attention from all sides. Without much effort, they won the Zhou championship as soon as they debuted and became a popular star that everyone talked about now.

But the freshness has a shelf life. The longer the time, the less freshness it will be. When the audience loses interest in them, the speed of this combination will never lose to their rising speed.

This is actually very similar to the group H Jungle with t that he just played against Ye Zhao. The partners of Makoto Hamada and Tetsuya Komuro are also largely consuming the freshness of the public.
