Chapter 40: Sitting on the Wind

"There doesn't seem to be any good songs recently?" Tang Mu listened to the top ten songs on the B-chart, basically all rap.

People who like rap music will like it very much, and people who hate it will also hate it very much. They just think this kind of song is noisy, and Tang Mu belongs to the latter.

Turning off the B-chart, he entered the music channel of YouTube.

Compared with the B-chart, the music resources on YouTube are more all-encompassing. There are music creators from all over the world here, but most of them are not famous. However, as long as you are willing to search patiently, you can still find many high-quality music.

And this time Tang Mu obviously didn't need to spend his mind searching like before. On the popularity list on the homepage, there was a new song.

He had never seen the author of this song before. Being able to defeat so many popular stars on the popularity list, the work must have its merits.

Tang Mu was immediately interested and clicked in.

It has only been four hours since the release time, but the number of clicks has exceeded five million, which is really a bit surprising.

"Song title 'Faded', singer... Izumi, is she Japanese?" Tang Mu frowned. In his impression, only the English names of Japanese singers would use Romanization.

As for Japanese songs... Tang Mu couldn't say he didn't like them. At least he still liked the pure music of that country, but he didn't listen to much pop music.

However, the positive rating of this song reached an astonishing 99%, which was a bit terrifying. No matter if he understood it or not, Tang Mu had to listen to it.

Clicked play, a side face of a blonde girl appeared on the phone, her eyes lazy, the corners of her mouth lifted lightly, beautiful and quiet and natural.

"So beautiful!" Tang Mu's eyes lit up. This is not a white girl, but really beautiful. It has been a long time since he saw such a girl who could make him linger in his dreams in an instant.

Just when Tang Mu was still immersed in the girl's beauty, a soft piano sound entered his ears, and then it was the dreamlike singing voice.

"Faded"

You were the shadow to my light

You were a shadow in the light of my life

Did you feel us

Can you feel each other's existence

Another start

Another start

You fade away

Your figure is gradually blurring

Afraid our aim is out of sight

Afraid our goal is lost in sight

Wanna see us

Just hope we can all

Alive

Light remains

Where are you now

Where are you now

Where are you now

Where are you now

Where are you now

Where are you now

Was it all in my fantasy

Is this all just my fantasy

This three-and-a-half-minute time was like a firefly in the dark night, disappearing without a trace in a trance. When the piano sound at the end stopped abruptly, Tang Mu woke up from the chaos.

That ethereal and distant singing voice pulled his consciousness into a dreamy and vast world in an instant. In that world, he was alone on a boundless plain, chasing and searching.

He didn't know what he was pursuing, but there was a magical force urging him to act, and he couldn't stop at all!

Tang Mu, who had calmed down, immediately clicked 'like,' 'favorite,' and 'follow' in a row, and then left his own mark in the comment section: "I love this song to death! And this singer, her singing voice and her appearance are both beautiful enough to make people dizzy!"

After doing all this, Tang Mu didn't stop. He immediately dialed his friend's phone, wanting to recommend this song to him:

"For God's sake, Jerry, you must listen to this song!"

"Sometimes I really want to knock your head open to see what the structure inside is and how it's different from ordinary people!" Seeing Wen Xia looked at Miss Luo Quan fiercely while looping "Faded."

That's right, this electronic music that Miss Luo Quan spent three hours making exploded again. It rushed to the popularity list of the YouTube music channel and the Twitter hot search list in less than four hours. There is no doubt that this will be a hit song, and it will not even be limited to Japan!

"Is the gap in talent between people really that big?" Chunzi's expression was very aggrieved. She also thought about writing songs before, but she couldn't even read the five-line staff notation for music introduction, while Quan-chan could combine these profound things as she pleased and create one beautiful song after another. This really made her unable to understand.

Miss Luo Quan didn't care: "This is nothing. I have many good songs in my new album. When they are released in a few days, that's what's called explosive."

"Look at how you are showing off..." Seeing Wen Xia raised her cup and took a bite of iced lemon juice.

Miss Luo Quan flipped through her phone, tilted her head, and was overjoyed.

As she expected, the song "Faded" exploded.

These days, she was originally one of the top traffic in Japan. Any action could attract countless attention, not to mention that the quality of "Faded" was so explosive. Slaughtering various charts was just a matter of time.

It's just that the whole process came even faster than Miss Luo Quan thought.

The timeline of this world is still different from the previous life. For example, the popularity of TikTok (international version of TikTok) came earlier than the previous life.

As a short video App famous all over the world, TikTok belongs to the mainstream App in almost all countries, with more than one billion users.

And this short video App likes to add a piece of beautiful melody or dynamic music segment to the content.

In the past, whatever song was popular, people on TikTok used it as BGM, and now it is whatever song people on TikTok use as BGM, then that song can be popular!

This has almost become a weather vane for young people's music preferences.

Although some songs are used by millions, it is inevitable to cause aesthetic fatigue. That's how the so-called 'TikTok ruins songs' comes from. Once something beautiful becomes popular, it will instantly become very 'low,' although it is unreasonable, such a situation does exist.

However, the trend on TikTok in the past few days seems to have returned to its original appearance. Everyone is using popular songs on the Oricon chart as BGM, especially "Lemon."

Now "Lemon" on the Oricon chart has surpassed "I Once Thought About Ending It All" and ranked first. Sure enough, people still prefer songs with a more cheerful melody.

In the past few days, TikTok has been covered with "Lemon," and it can be added to any video content. It can be called the 'all-match little prince' in BGM.

And this song, which was about to be used up, also entered TikTok's home, which is China, not long ago.

Because "Lemon" is exclusively authorized and distributed by Sony, China's music platforms temporarily have no way to introduce this song, but the Japanese branch of TikTok took the lead in buying the usage rights of this song, and the parent company in China also took advantage of it.

But these are all old calendars.

After "Faded" came out, the fickle Japanese users instantly abandoned "Lemon" and embraced their new love.

This singing voice, as beautiful as a fairy, captured every young person who heard this song, and then they couldn't wait to add it to the BGM of their videos.

This is the market's greatest affirmation of "Faded."

Besides TikTok, the data of "Faded" on the first-release platform YouTube is also rising exponentially. It broke 10 million in half a day and 50 million in three days. It is the song with the fastest growth in clicks on YouTube in three years, none of them!

The explosive data has already put it on YouTube's recommendation homepage, which means that billions of users around the world can see this song in the most conspicuous position as soon as they open YouTube!

The cover is of course the selfie Miss Luo Quan uploaded. It is a beautiful picture that can make people willing to click in regardless of the content.

With the complete popularity of "Faded," the number of fans on Miss Luo Quan's Twitter also surged from the previous 800,000 to 1.2 million. I believe it won't be long before it breaks through 2 million.

And the dispute that happened between her fans and Chris Suzuki's fans before seems to have been ignored by no one.

China, which has always reacted slowly to foreign entertainment news, finally had heat after the YouTube click rate of "Faded" broke 100 million. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
