He is said to be a "strange" singer, but in fact, Hirai Katsura has been mainstream for more than two years and has released many works. His debut single has also tied to Fuji TV's high-rating TV series "Miracle Restaurant".

Perhaps the audience sitting in the audience had heard him sing while watching TV series.

However, although the tie is "Miracle Restaurant", a "miracle" like a good tie can become famous has not appeared on him.

Not only that, because he is famous, although he is already an old salted fish, in the eyes of the audience, he is just a newcomer without experience.

No one knew who he was, no one could call his name, but only out of polite applause.

But the art world is so cruel.

If you have any unrealistic and warm fantasies about it, you will only be treated as a fool and will be hurt.

However, even in such a cruel world, I still have to sing. Even if I can only receive polite applause, I must not retreat in front of these seventeen thousand people.

With firm belief - just like his own name "Kan", Hirai Katsura spoke the first sentence.

Such scenes often appear in music variety shows.

A young singer who has been silent for many years, a grassroots person who appeared in a talent show, or a person from another industry who crossed the border to sing, handed the microphone to his mouth in the skeptical eyes of the audience and judges.

And when they sang the first sentence, the camera swept to the host, guests, and the audience. They were all photographed with surprise covering their mouths and being shocked: This person actually has such a good voice?!

At this moment, Katsu Hirai, who spoke the first sentence, brought a similar feeling to the audience.

With such a beautiful voice, who is this person sacred?

Katsuhira Hirai was not a strange song, but was adapted from the 19th century American ballad "The Ancient Bell".

After this famous song was introduced to Japan, it was translated into Japanese by Bofuku Yuu, so it is known to the Japanese public.

In fact, in 2002, Hirai Katsuki re-adapted this old song as a single, and became his first champion single since his debut.

Of course, the reason why he achieved such a result was also closely related to his successful rise and promotion at the time.

What he sang now was also produced by Ye Zhao based on the version he reorganized for him by later generations Makoto Kameda.

His obscurity over the years has made Hirai Kazumi go around singing while also honing his singing skills.

After meeting Ye Zhao, he knew his biggest selling point, so Ye Zhao gave him some tips. Finally, at his suggestion, Katsu Hirai began to try to change his singing style and play the gorgeous and beautiful part of his singing as much as possible.

Later generations, Katsuhira Hirai succeeded in becoming popular when the female voice rnb is in power and the male voice rnb market is still blank. As a powerful player, he has a good song to protect him, so he has successfully become popular.

Now, the entire Japanese rnb market is still in its infancy and there is not such a good environment, so it is not easy to replicate the path you have taken to re-launch it.

As a pioneer of a new path, what kind of things should be done that can make the public more acceptable?

Among the various options that appear in Ye Zhao's mind, one is adaptation and cover.

After some consideration and exchanged views with Katsu Hirai, it is different from a newcomer who has no experience. Katsu Hirai has been in the industry for more than two years and has many of his own ideas on music.

In the end, Ye Zhao decided to release the first single for Hirai Ken, the adaptation of "The Ancient Bell".

As a famous song around the world, this song is naturally familiar to the Japanese.

Adapting it to the lyrics, adding a little Japanese style to it and giving the familiar melody a new charm. For the public, this is a safe and fresh approach.

Of course, compared to the adapted song, his goal is much simpler, just to let the public understand the charm of Hirai Katsura's voice and the style of the music they want to make in a faster way.

As a positive example of the adaptation, it is Aya Kamiya's debut single "jupiter".

The original song of this song comes from the fourth chapter of Holster's "Planet Suite", "Jupiter - The Messenger of Joy", which was then filled in Japanese lyrics and re-adapted, and finally made the super-large Yifaya Plain Ayaka.

After the release, this single was sold well and became the representative work of Aya Kasumi, and it was also the most popular work of her entire music career. The sound of "everyday~" can be called a kneeling sound, which made the audience impressed by her female overlord singing skills.

Not only that, the record company has frequently included this song on her albums later.

There is no way, if you don’t collect it, the album will be even more unsold.

The song "Ancient Bell" is combined with the beautiful voice of Hirai Kazuki, which weaves a slightly dreamy world for the audience in the venue.

When the music stopped, the audience came out of their dreams and realized that such a perfect performance came from the strange singer who suddenly appeared on the stage, and they all gave him applause.

This is a heart-warming applause that is completely different from the polite applause at the beginning.

At the same time, the audience was even more curious about the singer's identity.

However, what they waited for next was not an introduction to the strange singer. After receiving their applause, the drummer started beat again.

This time, the band played a completely unfamiliar melody. Not only that, Ye Zhao, who was standing aside as the audience to admire the performance of Katsushi Hirai, also joined the song and sang it for him personally.

Just like the singers he used to sing for Kawamoto Makoto, puffy, and the singers he led in music programs.

This time, Katsuhira Hirai sang a new song called "nomore".

This song was originally a chorus composed by Exile's Atsushi and female singer Ai. It is also the theme song of a Japanese drama called "Naomi Watanabe and Konako Yanagawa". The theme of a best friend who worked together to kill her husband and then lived a happy life in Yuri.

After a little adaptation, Ye Zhao turned this song into a solo song.

After the song "nomore" was finished, the music stopped and once again received the warm applause from the audience that was not inferior to the previous one, Ye Zhao patted Hirai Kane's shoulder and signaled him to stand in front.

"Good evening, I'm Hirai Kazuki." Hirai Kazuki stepped forward and reported his name to the audience.

The audience gave him warm applause for the third time.
