Chapter 89 Youth
While the sales of "Memories Islands" were booming, some malicious remarks were also quietly growing.
However, neither Geto Suguru nor Tsunayoshi Sawada took this matter seriously.
Those who spread malicious speech soon found that their accounts were blocked. No matter how they applied for unblocking, they received no response. Those who had not yet had time to send out messages were prompted that the content they were about to send contained sensitive words and could not send it out at all.
Those who spoke up for eclipse also found that the malicious comments they had seen were quietly deleted. They thought that the owner of the account had lost the argument and deleted the comments himself, so they didn't take it seriously.
Because it was stopped in time, it did not cause any waves.
Fighting the system where there is electricity is like an ant challenging an elephant.
The villain in the curse world's strategy of trying to start a war of public opinion collapsed before it was halfway implemented.
Gojo Satoru had already received the mission to assassinate Eclipse. When he heard this, he couldn't help but pick his ears, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
He really couldn't understand what he had done that made these old orange peels think he would kill five innocent children.
What gave them the confidence that he would be obedient?
"Gojo Satoru, you are the head of the Gojo family. As one of the three great families in the world of sorcery, the Gojo family's interests are tied to the world of sorcery. If those songs continue to circulate, the status of sorcerers will continue to decline. Sooner or later, there will be no Gojo family in this world anymore."
Gojo Satoru sincerely wondered, "Do those songs kill people? Do they specifically kill people with the last name Gojo? Why is there no Gojo family anymore?"
The old voice was more anxious than usual: "Without the noble status of a sorcerer, do you think the Gojo family can still maintain its current glory?"
Gojo Satoru didn't feel how glorious his family was. He now felt his ears were itchy and wanted to scratch them.
A few old men and women were talking to each other, but the words went in one ear and out the other.
When they took a break to drink tea, Gojo Satoru stood up by the table, "Okay, I understand."
After saying this, without waiting for the old oranges to react, he turned and left.
"What did he understand?"
"He's going to do it himself?"
The old man with drooping eyes sitting on the right put down his teacup and snorted, "Why bother with him? If he does it, that's great. If he doesn't do it, do we still need someone?"
"Just make him understand that the world of spellcasting is one."
There was a gentle knock on the door, and the voice outside the door clearly reached their ears, "Sir, there is official news."
The old man at the head put his hands in the wide sleeves of his kimono, squinted his eyes and said nothing. After a while, he said, "Go ahead and do what we just discussed. As for the government, let's see how they react first."
"Also, tell the people stationed inside to keep an eye on the situation and report back if anything goes wrong. Be careful of the people in the Directorate General and the government."
The physical album has already been sold, hundreds of thousands of copies, they can't come to destroy them one by one. It's not like the electronic album, they can still find a way to hack it.
What we can do now is to eliminate the source of the threat and minimize the losses. As for other things, there will be plenty of time to deal with them later. Humans are creatures that tend to forget. In a decade or two, all the angel gospels and God's beloved son will disappear in the long river of time.
Only the world of sorcery will stand forever.
Their noble bloodline will be passed down from generation to generation, and their status is unshakable.
The turbulent waves behind the scenes could not affect the fans' carnival, and they were still immersed in pure joy.
The first day sales in Asia have been released, totaling 4.11 million. Not to mention the standards for Asian records, each country is different. In Japan, 250,000 copies are considered platinum, and in China, 300,000 copies are considered platinum. According to the American RIAA standard, a million copies are considered platinum. In general, the RIAA standard is more valuable.
Even according to RIAA standards, "Memories of the Islands" is a quadruple platinum record, which is not only impressive, but it is simply eye-popping.
It is not difficult to reach the standard of 10 million diamond records.
Every day, the album sales are increasing, as if there is no speed bump. Originally, the sales were mainly in Asia, but after five or six days, Europe and the United States also unexpectedly rolled up, so the sales curve that was supposed to gradually fall into a period of fatigue suddenly rose sharply.
After the data was released, the experts were already numb. They felt powerless when faced with the series of numbers, wishing they didn't know how to count.
Those who had a good relationship with Eclipse, those who had a bad relationship with Eclipse, or those who had no relationship with him, all kissed him and congratulated him as if they had won a prize.
But they also have to send a dynamic reply to express their gratitude for their congratulations.
Express your gratitude to close seniors or juniors in private.
Of course, the system can take over the account, and the people on the other side of the account can't tell whether it's a person or a machine talking to them. But they think they will be more sincere, after all, they have a better relationship among so many celebrities, and the two sides can be considered to be compatible.
One month after the album was released, Asahi Shimbun, the seventh-largest newspaper in the world, published a report about eclipse.
The status of Asahi Shimbun in its own country can be compared to that of the New York Times in America and the Times in Britain. It has a very high influence and generally reports serious domestic and international political, economic, cultural and other aspects, and rarely reports entertainment news.
But eclipse was not only on the front page, but also on the sub-headline.
The headline of the report is "'Memory Islands', a swan song that spans generations."
The report praised Sawada Tsunayoshi and others highly, and praised the songs highly, affirming their achievements.
The last sentence of the report said: [In an era when records are gradually declining, they have created such achievements, which is worthy of the title of God's beloved son. These five geniuses are beyond the reach of the public, and it is also a miracle that is difficult to surpass in this era! ]
Once this report came out, others saw it as an endorsement for them.
This is the official attitude.
The authorities have no choice but to take such an attitude. Just based on the fact that their singing can destroy cursed spirits, high-level leaders who want to break away from the control of the curse world have to worship them as national treasures.
When the peculiarity of the singing was discovered, a veiled warning was sent to the magic world, and people were sent to secretly protect the five national treasures.
Now, not only sorcerers, but even cursers have noticed the anomaly and posted a high reward on the curser website.
Then the website was reported to the government by an insider within half an hour.
Because there are fans among the curse master, and because of his personality, he can easily become a fanatical fan. Not to mention the bounty, if you curse at him in front of him, he will have to turn a blind eye when he sleeps at night, and he has to take turns patrolling with both eyes.
Most non-spell casters are happy, but there are also people who have connections with the sorcery world, and of course they don't want their wallets to be passive.
There are sorcerer killers, non-sorcerer killers, and all kinds of people among the assassins.
But no matter which side, the people sent to assassinate returned empty-handed. When asked why, they said they didn't find the person.
There was no trace of him. Even if the sorcerer used special tracking tools, he couldn't find him. Even if the non-sorcerer used technology, he couldn't find any trace of him on the surveillance.
"Could it be that he ran away in advance, or was he protected by someone?"
In fact, they are not in this world anymore. They are now busy in Tsushima Shuji's world. It would be strange if those assassins could find them.
"Hello, please show your ID." The staff repeatedly looked up to compare the face of the person in front of him with the ID to see if they matched. After confirming that they were correct, he gave him two badges and stamped his left hand. When the time comes, it will fluoresce when scanned with ultraviolet light.
After that, you will go through two security checks, one where a metal detector will scan your body, and another time where the security guard will use an ultraviolet light to scan the fluorescent stamp.
I placed a letter in the letter delivery area, followed the instructions, picked up my things and went to the next place.
After another series of events, he finally took his seat in the signing hall.
"This makes me nervous." Next to the young man were two girls who were whispering.
"It's normal. I was like this when I chased other stars before. The process is more rigorous and good for both idols and fans. And the attitude of the staff here is much better than what I encountered before. It's already very good."
"That's true."
"Oh, sorry, teacher, are you okay?" The girl next to him accidentally touched the young man while setting up the tripod and camera.
The young man, who was called teacher for the first time in his life, paused and smiled gently: "It's okay."
Fans are very polite to each other and call each other "teacher". Those who are a little more familiar will call each other "little sun" or "little moon", which are special names for eclipse fans.
The young man looked down at the album and autograph card in his hand. The one he got was Dazai Osamu.
"Teacher, you can open the album and put sticky notes and index stickers on it." The girl who just bumped into him reminded him in a low voice.
"OK, thanks."
"Teacher, is this your first time here?" the girl was very talkative and asked in a friendly manner.
"Yes." The black-haired young man covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "Just call me Feier, teacher sounds too formal."
"Okay, um, Phil." The girl carefully glanced at the handsome young man. "Are you Russian? You don't have to answer. I'm just a little curious."
"Yes," said Fair.
"Wow, this is the first time I see live Russian fans. Is our band popular in your country?" The girl was looking forward to it.
“They are very famous and everyone likes to listen to the songs they sing.”
Hearing that her idol was popular, the girl looked happier than anyone else.
Perhaps because it was the young man's first time here and he didn't understand much, she was very considerate and explained the activities to the young man.
Feier nodded from time to time to show that he was listening.
The girl instructed him to write down any questions he wanted to ask on the autograph sticky notes.
The girl reminded him not to write anything too outrageous, such as asking for a phone number, which is definitely not allowed. If the staff sees it, it will be taken away and you will be asked to rewrite it. Love-related topics are also not allowed because the members are still young. It is best to only be related to the idol himself, such as "Do you prefer strawberries or mangoes?" You can also be playful, such as "Give me a reason to continue to like you."
Girl: “But it’s usually not strict. I’ve attended other people’s book signing events before, and some staff members didn’t allow us to bring sticky notes. Yiyuan will just give us sticky notes, which is already very good.” She happily put the sticky notes and index stickers in place.
Phil: “Thank you.”
Picking up the pen the girl lent him, Feier wrote a string of words in Russian.
