"アイドル(Idol)" is a song written by the YOASOBI group for the animation "My Little Pony".
The group YOASOBI is known as the king of streaming, and their songs are very well-known.
Even if you don’t know this group, you must know their songs. Even if you don’t know the songs, you must know the memes.
For example, "Gunblue".
The song "Idol" has created a myth of Internet song data. It is the J-POP song that has broken 100 million, 200 million, and 300 million views on YouTube the fastest.
In just half a year, the data of this song is almost catching up with Kenshi Yonezu who has dominated the charts for many years.
And the most appropriate thing is that this song is about idols.
The lyrics depict a perfect idol made of lies and performances, who doesn't know what love is but keeps talking about loving fans, and is also loved by fans, and is full of longing for true love.
This may seem very abnormal to others, but in the extravagant entertainment venues and Japan's unique idol culture, it seems to be a bit crazy, reasonable and helpless.
At the same time, the melody and arrangement of this song are also full of mystery, gorgeous, unrestrained, perverse and unpredictable, just like the idol sung in the song.
After reading the lyrics, Qin Yunshang even had an idea: Could it be that Chen Liang wrote the lyrics based on me?
He's full of cunning ideas, but acts silly in front of his fans, obsessed with maximizing popularity while also being incredibly cute...
Isn’t this talking about me?
She asked Chen Liang, and although she got a negative answer, she felt that it was just because Chen Liang was embarrassed.
The prototype must be yourself.
Of course, Chen Ya chose this song simply because it was so appropriate to the occasion that he had to choose it.
Considering that Qin Yunshang's performance was in a local livehouse in Tokyo, where most of the attendees were locals, as long as her pronunciation was not too bad, she would definitely be popular.
Qin Yunshang had lived in South Korea for a few years and had mastered some basic Japanese, so she learned the lyrics quickly. Although some of the pronunciations were still not very authentic, she had no problem singing.
Liu Ruying poked Lu Qingxuan, pointed at the audience around her, and said:
“They were totally fired up.”
Lu Qingxuan looked around and saw a huge crowd of audiences below the dark stage, holding glow sticks and making powerful cheers in unison.
By the second time the song was played, the audience had caught up with the rhythm and were completely infected by the emotions of the song, which aroused their emotions.
About half of the people in the venue were locals, and most of them were idol fans.
If the previous song "Sadly" was just for novelty, this song "Idol" really resonated with them.
The cheering sticks were all ready-made. In this dark venue, the idol, the audience, and the lyrics formed a wonderful triangle, achieving perfection in deformity.
"Another hit song." Jiang Xinhai said, a hint of bitterness in his voice, "This song is the kind that could debut in Japan."
Qin Yunchu secretly glanced at Jiang Xinhai and said, "It seems that his strength has improved again."
"No," Jiang Xinhai said, "How can he have improved? He has always been at this level, but he was just focusing on other things before, so he was delayed."
After a pause, Jiang Xinhai continued, "After all these years, he's still the No. 1. The No. 1 in the world of songwriting. I can't imagine what the music scene would be like if he hadn't gone on to do something else."
Jiang Xinhai's expression was complicated, as if he was recalling the glorious past.
"Yes." Qin Yunchu nodded deeply.
If Chen Ya had not retired, Jiang Xinhai and Xu Xiangxiao would not have retired.
If these two hadn't retired, the music scene in the next few years would definitely have been very different.
These three people may influence an entire era and become a golden age that will never be erased in the hearts of generations.
The two spoke in a low voice, but Liu Ruying still heard it.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing who the two were talking about.
"If he hadn't done something else, the world of fiction would have been different."
Qin Yunchu turned around. After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, she put the straw back into her mouth, as if she had simply stated something that required no further explanation.
Qin Yunchu burst out laughing.
Yes, winning four Nobel Prizes in Literature in one go is something that has never been done before or since.
If he were allowed to continue dominating the literary world, who knows what would happen?
It's a pity that he was too low-key, not even leaving a name in the literary world. His only brief appearance in front of the camera left countless people with endless reverie...
Qin Yunchu thought again that his first job was in the publishing industry.
If Chen Ya was still writing books back then, based on his age, wouldn't I have happened to be at his peak?
What would have happened if I had met him for the first time as the editor-in-chief?
Thinking of this, Qin Yunchu was a little dazed.
…
Qin Yunshang's performance is over.
This time she only sang two new songs, "Sadly" and "Idol", and also sang "I Remember" and "Plum Sauce".
Qin Yunshang's version of "Black Plum Sauce" is better than Jin Lan's in handling details, which is refreshing.
According to what she said at the end, she had prepared a new song, but that song was also in Japanese. She didn't have time to learn the lyrics, so she planned to sing it next time.
Qin Yunchu had heard a clip of that song. According to her, that song was also a powerful "flagship-level" song.
