Chapter 64 Similarities (1/2)
On February 3, as the end of the promotion of this single, after more than four months, Ye Zhao once again appeared on the stage of MUSIC STATION.
That afternoon, Ye Zhao came to Asahi TV station to conduct the last rehearsal before the live broadcast began. This time, it was no longer Akihiko Aragaki, but Uemiyagi Uemura.
Backstage, when Ye Zhao visited Tamori with his new single, although Tamori accepted the single, he said to Ye Zhao: "I don't have to send CDs in the future."
At first hearing this sentence seemed to offend the boss's rhythm. Ye Zhao was stunned at the time.
Tamori looked at his reaction and suddenly remembered that this guy was still a raw melon seed, and explained with a smile: "I mean, I have remembered you, so I told you not to take CDs, as long as the person arrives."
If you don’t bring it, don’t bring it. Is it necessary to be so implicit?... After breathing a sigh of relief, Ye Zhao thought silently in his heart.
...
From the beginning of the broadcast of MS, there will be regular actors of Johnnys in each episode, with the exception of this. In 1997, KINKI KIDS and DA PUMP will perform on the same stage. Before the live broadcast, Johnnys President Kitakawa suddenly canceled the original scheduled appearance of KINKI KIDS on the grounds that "the male idol group of the J family should not be performed with the male idol group of other firms."
This is also why Johnnys monopolized the male idol market and suppressed other male idols. With their strength, there is no need to use any open means at all, let alone use any secret tricks. As long as he lightly sacrifices the banner of "different stations", the TV station will naturally weigh the weight of both parties and consciously give up the other party.
Even though he was as powerful as BRUNING, although he suffered a loss in the affairs of Guangmei in the village, it was difficult for him to scoop a spoonful of soup from Johnny's pot in the future male idol market.
...
The artist Johnniez who debuted today is TOKIO, who just debuted in the form of a band last year. Speaking of the group where Johnniez debuted in the form of a band, TOKIO is the second group, and the first group is the male Douhu group.
However, although the male Douhu group is known as a band, both the level of instrument performance and the musical literacy of members are ordinary, and can only be regarded as idols who perform with musical instruments. If their strength is really tested, they are afraid that they will laugh out loud.
Perhaps with the intention of avenging his previous shame, Johnniez launched the band TOKIO last year. Unlike their predecessors, this band is at least impeccable in instrumental performance. Although it has not yet gotten rid of the "performance band" mode of singing songs from other composers, because the members all have creative abilities, they can still find the songs they created on single albums from time to time.
Ye Zhao didn't care much about TOKIO, but he just met him. What Ye Zhao cared more about was his "formal opponent" who was innocently caught in the gun and was exaggerated by the media for several months.
Fukuyama Masaharu himself, in today's terms, is that the young man himself is a bit handsome... Well, nonsense, but there is no doubt that he is handsome. And if he is just handsome, there are still several people in the RB entertainment industry who can compete with him, but those who are both handsome and popular are the ones, namely, he and Kimura Takuya.
There is a joke that half of women with all RB like Takuya Kimura, and the other half likes Masaji Fukuyama. Although it is a bit exaggerated, you can also feel the terrifying popularity of these two people from it.
Generally speaking, the two parties listed as formula opponents may feel a little embarrassed when they meet, but they cannot be felt at all by Ye Zhao and Fukuyama Masaji. After all, strictly speaking, both of them are passively shot.
Speaking of the "Fukuyama Masaji Second" storm a while ago, Fukuyama Masaji was kind-hearted and enlightened: "Actually, just look at the magazine. Just like me, when I was a little popular at the beginning, some magazines said that I was the 'Successor of Ozaki Toyo'. Although I was very happy to compare me with Ozaki Sang, no matter how I look at it, we don't have any similarities, right?"
"It's a bit like that if you say there is." Ye Zhao joked, "It's all young and handsome guys, and they're all singer-songwriters."
"Haha, if you say that, wouldn't you have such a similarity between you and me?"
"That's right." Ye Zhao pretended to think, "However, Fukuyama Sang and Ozaki Sang are similar, and I am similar to Fukuyama Sang. If that's the case, wouldn't I be similar to Ozaki Sang also?"
Fukuyama Masaji stared at Ye Zhao for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter, "Ye Zhaosang, you are such an interesting person!"
The live broadcast begins at 8 pm.
In this episode, except for the two male SOLOs of Ye Shoto and Fukuyama Masaji, the male idol group of TOKIO, the other four actors are all women, and they are quite beautiful women. The long-legged sister Mori Taka Chihiro, the super idol Shizuka Kudo, the multi-star Miho Nakayama, and the love song queen Miki Imai. It can be said that these four people come together to be a beautiful group.
MS has never had a male audience in the regular broadcast due to various unknown reasons, except for the occasional special show, otherwise, just these four beauties on the same stage would be enough to make them scream.
In contrast, the three groups of male singers, Ye Zhao, Fukuyama Masaharu, and TOKIO, who is also a male idol rather than an agricultural group, appeared, and the female audience screamed one after another as if she was not worth the money for throat lozenges.
Masaharu Fukuyama was arranged to appear in the first place. Ye Zhao, who was in the backstage, could almost feel the crazy sound waves of the roof being lifted.
Hosts Tamori and Ayuhe Mayyue were also joking when facing such a handsome guy and beautiful girl, and they joked about everyone present from time to time.
Halfway through the show, Ye Zhao's seat was moved to Tamori.
"The next one is Ye Zhao. Ye Jun. It's been a long time since we saw each other." Tamori greeted.
"Long time no see." Ye Zhao owed.
Akihi Mayyue commented on the side: "Ye Zhaosang's single "WINTER, AGAIN" released in December last year officially exceeded one million in January this year, becoming the first 12CM million single on the ORICON chart."
There were warm applause and uninterrupted "Congratulations" sounds in the court.
"After that, there is another guest in this scene who just released a 12CM single," Tamorie threw the topic to Masaji Fukuyama. "Fukuyama, your "HELLO" is so trendy, and millions are definitely something in your pocket. How about it? Do you have any thoughts now?"
"I originally wanted to play on my 26th birthday, but I didn't expect Ye Zhaosang to take the lead. 'Why do you want to commemorate your 26th birthday? It's not your 25th birthday,' I kept regretting it in my heart like this." Fukuyama Masaji joked.
Ye Zhao also smiled and said, "Since I am relied on this single, please forgive me for being the one who turned over." As he said that, he deliberately made a move of folding his hands together.
When talking about this, a neat applause rang out on the court, and occasionally several spectators were heard shouting "Come on!".
"When it comes to the new single, Ye Jun went to the north this time."
"Yes. It's a very fulfilling trip from Hokkaido and all the way to Shizuoka Prefecture."
"It's amazing. Generally speaking, no one will do this level, right?" Tamori sighed. "At the end of the year, Suzakuya Sang also talked about this. 'It's like a folk artist in the 1970s!' He complained about it."
The saury refers to the Akashi family saury. In RB, he is a funny master of BIG3, as well as Tamori Kitano Takeshi. Compared with Tamori's relatively gentle style, the Akashi family saury is a fighter in talkative form. Even when he is a guest program, he can control the rhythm of the audience as soon as he speaks. The most important point is that even if he talks endlessly, you can still make you laugh to your stomach.
"There will be a new song performance soon. Is there anything to say?" Tamorie said.
"Well," Ye Zhao complained to himself, "Spring break is coming soon, and it seems a bit out of place to sing winter songs here."
"Will you just release another spring single right away?" Tamorli said, "Will there be songs that can be sung all year round? Having said that, Ye Jun has already mastered the work of writing songs based on the seasons."
Amid the kind laughter of the audience and guests on the scene, Ye Zhao stood up and walked towards the stage.
