Chapter 55
"Why are my eyes moist after listening?"
"I thought I had forgotten him, but as soon as I saw the lyrics, all the past flashed back in my mind. It was clearly painful, but I couldn't stop at all."
"This is the best love song I've heard this year, completely exploding all the monsters and ghosts in China!"
"Can those who said 'Shang Zhongyong' before come out and apologize to Miss Luo Quan?"
"Miss Luo Quan, who wrote such a song, don't know what mood she was in when watching those clowns talk nonsense. She must feel it's very funny."
"Just this one song is enough to support the album 'Coming of Age'. Even if the next nine songs are all garbage, I'm determined to buy it!"
"This matter tells us, never use your mediocre thinking to speculate and question the level of a genius, especially in the field of art. Human rights are equal, but the difference in human talent and inspiration is very large!"
In just ten minutes, the wind direction in the comment section changed instantly. Praise drowned the screen, and there were also some comments from Miss Luo Quan's fans riding on the faces of sprayers.
Miss Luo Quan had been scolded for the past few days. The few fans on Weibo wanted to maintain it, but they were powerless. They couldn't even control the comments. The only thing they could do was not to brush Weibo, not seeing it, not worrying about it.
Now the situation is reversed, of course they want to vent their anger. If they don't vent the grievances of these days at once, fans probably won't leave Weibo.
Seeing that "First Love" achieved the expected effect, Miss Luo Quan didn't get carried away. According to the original plan, she posted another Weibo:
"Don't need to ask me, I know everyone must like this song very much, but this is just a beginning. At the same time tomorrow, the trial version of the second song of this album will also be online.
Special reminder, I wrote two versions of this song, one is the Japanese version 'Yakimochi (Jealousy)', and the other is the Chinese version 'Rising Wind'. The same music, different stories, I hope everyone can listen on time!"
The opening words were a bit arrogant, but now no one dared to question it anymore. How many people swore that this album was IQ tax and treated fans as pigs, but as soon as the title track came out, everyone was slapped in the face.
Everyone is not deaf. "First Love" has obviously beaten all the works on the hot song list in recent years, in every sense!
The lyrics may have nothing to say because of the language barrier, but music is something that doesn't need too much appreciation ability to distinguish good from bad. Currently, China really can't find music that can be compared with it.
Perhaps people with conscience can still pick on and deny Miss Luo Quan's works from various angles, but normal people know that Miss Luo Quan has used her strength to break all doubts. The so-called 'Shang Zhongyong' and 'exhausted talent' have all become jokes.
And as she said, this is just a beginning. "Coming of Age" has ten songs in total. Where is this?
What makes people feel more interesting is that Miss Luo Quan actually wrote two sets of lyrics for this second song. Many people remembered that Miss Luo Quan is a native Chinese.
Many people blacked her because she debuted in Japan, feeling that this was winning glory for the country, but ignored that she was her own compatriot, until this Weibo was posted, they suddenly woke up.
Shame is the first reaction of these people. Some woke up, reflected on their behavior, and hoped to make up for it, while others were angry and decided to go to the dark.
The difference in quality made these people make different choices, some good, some bad, but in any case, the public opinion on Weibo in China was completely reversed by Miss Luo Quan.
Tonight Miss Luo Quan hit the hot search again. The trial version of "First Love" topped the hot song list. According to statistics, more than 1 million people were listening to this song on the three major music platforms at the same time. Such a grand occasion can be called unprecedented.
This time, no one will dislike why Miss Luo Quan hit the hot search again. "First Love" occupied major short video platforms and Bilibili at an incalculable speed. Although it was only half a song, it still made countless people flock to it.
Finally, people found Weibo and knew that this song was the title track of "Coming of Age". Although it was a Japanese song, music has no borders. An album with such a song is definitely worth buying.
Then look at the pre-sale price, 300 RMB, special edition is as high as 500...
Fine, I'll just have to honestly freeload; as a student, I really can't afford such expensive records. I'll just wait for the free resources.
This is the status quo of the Chinese market. Physical records have no sales at all. The high price can make the vast majority of passersby discouraged, and even die-hard fans can't afford it.
So even though this song received rave reviews on the whole internet, the pre-sale volume of "Coming of Age" only reached 1,000 copies by 12 o'clock in the evening, less than 1% of the Japanese market!
The pre-sale volume of "Coming of Age" in Japan has exceeded 500,000, breaking another record unknowingly, becoming the album with the largest pre-sale volume since the new century.
In China, where the language is not connected, "First Love" can top major music platforms, let alone in Japan. In addition to the new song list and listening list being quickly occupied, the radio broadcast volume also hit a new high tonight.
Music critic Onodera Ryusuke wrote an article overnight:
"This is the peak work of Japanese pop music in the past ten years. If the annual gold award of this year's Japan Record Awards is not this song, then the judges must have received black-hearted money!"
Such a high evaluation appeared for the first time in Onodera Ryusuke's mouth. It is conceivable how huge a touch this song brought him.
If there are no accidents, with "First Love" as the bottom, "Coming of Age" selling well is already a nail in the coffin. Exceeding the 2 million sales of "Izumi" shouldn't be a problem. Everyone even predicts that the final sales of "Coming of Age" can reach a terrifying 4 million!
Mentioning this number before today, maybe some people didn't have a bottom in their hearts, but after today, no one will doubt that "Coming of Age" doesn't have such potential. The data provided by various platforms will not lie, and the record's rising pre-sale volume will not lie.
That night, Sony Record Company senior management increased the promotion investment for "Coming of Age", bought the electronic screens of all Tokyo for the next week, and vowed to build this album into a national album in the true sense.
The Izumi phenomenon that had calmed down for a few days seemed to have signs of sweeping Japan again.
Everything is developing in a good direction. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
