The host felt that continuously switching to off-site broadcasts was not good for the live broadcast effect and would easily cause viewers to leave.
After hesitating for a moment, he heard Guo Xiaoran and Jia Yi urging him: "Hurry up and play that song!"
Yu Xiaoxiao chuckled behind her back, "Host, just play that song as they requested. They want to know why they're dying."
He Su said, "Actually, I'd also like to see which song Yun Shang'er sang that received such a high number of views. Could it be 'I Remember'?"
"It can't be "I Remember", you have to read the lyrics to understand the meaning of this song." Yu Xiaoxiao said.
"It's impossible that Azhen fell in love with Aqiang?" He Su said with a smile.
"This song could definitely become a hit. If Shiina Apple and the others played along, it would be a huge hit," Yu Xiaoxiao said. "But I guess we didn't invite them to the live performance..."
While several people were speculating, the director had already switched the split screen to the new video.
Seeing the video title on the split screen, Yu Xiaoxiao squinted and read:
"Hit...fireworks?"
This title is a typical example where you can recognize every word, but have no idea what they mean when put together. It sounds like a Chinese man is about to have sex.
The video started playing. After the prelude, Qin Yunshang began to sing. After a while, everyone realized what was going on.
"This is a Japanese song! Another Japanese song!"
Yu Xiaoxiao's previous doubts were resolved.
This song is neither "I Remember" nor "Learn to Meow", but another new song.
But a new question arises: Chen Liang wrote two Japanese songs in one breath, where does he get so much talent?
"Is this another new song? Where does Chen Liang get so much time to write new songs?" Jia Yi asked Guo Xiaoran puzzledly.
“…”
Guo Xiaoran remained silent, staring at the small screen.
The only thing he was curious about now was: the quality of this song.
From the time the program team announced the final round schedule to the time the contestants began performing, the interval was only two days.
The original purpose of the rules of the final round was to allow the contestants to change styles and sing different songs. These two days were for the contestants to rest and practice singing, not for songwriters to compose music.
Two new songs in two days, how is that possible?
At this point, the song is entering the chorus:
"The light 'bang' blooms
"Fireworks come into view
"Summer must not be over yet
"The ambiguous knot is untied, and then we are tightly connected
"May this night never end"
When Qin Yunshang sang to this point in her clear voice, coupled with the exquisite arrangement, everyone who listened to the song felt their heads buzzing and their backs tingling.
Even though I don’t understand Japanese, I can still feel a gorgeous sadness, just like standing on the beach on the last night of summer vacation and seeing fireworks going off in the dark distance.
I want this moment of tenderness that is destined to be lost to remain forever.
Sounds good.
The director was very considerate and made a small split screen on the live broadcast. While playing the video, he took turns cutting the close-ups of several contestants' faces to the small screen.
As a result, Guo Xiaoran's focused and shocked expression was printed right next to the scene of Qin Yunshang singing the chorus, making the whole scene appear full of narrative.
Take a screenshot of this picture and add a line of text underneath it: "How come this song is so fucking good?" It will look perfectly natural.
The audience in the live broadcast room noticed this scene, and the comments started to roll:
"This song is so nice, please give me the download link!"
"The production team, please be smart and put this song on the music platform immediately. I want to download it now!"
"I've heard Yun Shang'er is amazing, but I always thought it was just marketing. Today, I'm completely sold on her. She's really good."
"Did Chen Liang write this song? Is he really Chinese? Why is he so good at writing Japanese songs?"
"Just now, when I heard Guo Xiaoran and Jia Yi talking, I thought Chen Liang was a talentless and immoral person. But after listening to this song, I feel that this is not the case."
…
"Hanabi Hitachi", or its original name was "Hanabi Hitachi", is also an anime song.
This song is the theme song of the animated film "Fireworks" adapted from the original work by Shunji Iwai. The full name of the animation is "Fireworks rising into the sky, should we watch them from below? Or from the side?"
This animated film attracted widespread attention when it was still in the PV promotion stage, mainly because of its all-star cast, which can be called a galactic battleship.
First of all, the original work. The author Shunji Iwai’s debut work "Love Letter" reached its peak when it debuted and has left a great reputation to this day.
Next is the chief director, Akiyuki Shinbo, a well-known genius director in the industry. The "Mr. Despair" series and "Monogatari" series directed by him are considered stream-of-consciousness masterpieces. After becoming famous, he directed "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and won numerous awards.
The music director is Akira Kamizawa, who is an old partner of Akiyuki Shinbo, but he became famous earlier than Akiyuki Shinbo. The music of the Suzumiya Haruhi series was composed by him, and the group song "GadKnows" is a hit song for countless people; in addition, "Platinum Disco", especially "Love Cycle", is a hit song that is even popular in China, and these two songs are the works he created when he and Akiyuki Shinbo collaborated on the "Monogatari" series.
As for voice actors, not only are there Mamoru Miyano and Kana Hanazawa who are well-known to otakus, but also popular stars such as Suzu Hirose, Masaki Suda, and Matsu Takako.
The year before this movie was released, Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name" happened to be a huge hit at the box office, allowing Japanese animated films to once again enter the eyes of Chinese audiences after Hayao Miyazaki, so naturally, people had high expectations for this movie.
