Chapter 572: Concert (Part 4)
Although it was still daytime and there were still several hours before the concert started, almost all the LED screens on the streets of Tokyo had a countdown in the bottom right corner.
And after a while, this countdown would expand, letting passersby see why it was counting down.
"07:21:12 remaining until the start of the Izumi concert."
The tickets that should have been sold had long been sold out, and there was no need to advertise like this at all.
But Sony was still willing to spend money, investing huge funds in publicity, and even let the whole Tokyo street know how long it was until the Miss Luo Quan concert started.
Such a large investment and dense appearance did not make passersby feel annoyed, but instead sighed at Miss Luo Quan's high popularity and also felt sorry for not buying tickets.
The Izumi phenomenon has continued to this day, and there is no sign of fading at all.
And with the concert about to start, it has become even hotter.
Now, what young people in Japan compare with is not luxury goods or the luxury of their bedrooms, but tickets to Miss Luo Quan's concert.
This thing has become proof of the chosen one in the hearts of Japanese young people.
Because this is not something that can be bought with money at all; it requires competing with tens of millions of fans around the world.
Although the ticketing website is in Japan, for local Japanese fans, they still have some advantages in internet speed.
But there are also millions of competitors in Japan, and being able to buy a ticket is almost exhausting a whole year's luck.
Now, as long as you show off the ticket on the social platform, a large number of envious, jealous, and hateful comments will appear underneath.
Most tickets lose their meaning after the concert ends.
But Miss Luo Quan's concert tickets are definitely not in this category. The collection value of this thing is on the same level as her signed photo.
Also because of the tickets for this concert, quite a few cases of residential burglary have occurred in Japan these days.
The cause is that some people, knowing that their neighbors, classmates, and friends have bought Miss Luo Quan's concert tickets, want to steal the ticket together with the resident's ID card.
As for the appearance problem, it is no longer in their consideration. As long as they get the ticket, they can always find a way to get in by being soft and hard, and being shameless.
However, so far, no one has succeeded.
These thieves who had evil intentions were either caught on the spot or caught after the victim called the police.
Japanese police are usually relatively inefficient, but they have shown considerable importance and efficiency in this matter.
Because quite a few similar cases have appeared, causing TV reports and online heated discussions. Finally, Miss Luo Quan also posted a dynamic appeal, asking fans who want to listen to her songs not to do illegal and disciplinary acts.
This is her first concert, not the last concert, there is no need to be like this.
After the appeal, the number of cases has decreased significantly. Not only the cases of stealing tickets, but also the number of daily theft cases has decreased.
This magical situation was naturally listed by netizens as part of the Izumi phenomenon.
However, experts predict that this phenomenon should end in another two or three days.
In the afternoon, the final rehearsal inside the concert ended, and they prepared to let fans enter.
Miss Luo Quan and everyone in Girls' Generation returned to the backstage and began to change clothes and put on makeup.
The whole of Japan has been creating momentum for this concert these days. It is the first time that a Chinese singer has been able to make such a big battle abroad. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is attracting worldwide attention.
In terms of singing and dancing, they definitely have no problems.
But such a big stage and such high attention will inevitably make them a little nervous. Now is the last chance to adjust their mentality.
By comparison, Miss Luo Quan, who is used to seeing big storms and waves, looks much calmer, sitting in front of the mirror alone, combing her hair by herself.
The theme of this concert is "If Only Like First Sight," and her styling will be consistent with the fans' first impression when she debuted. For this reason, she also washed her hair color back.
Her first appearance, she remembers, was on the streets of Shibuya. A YouTube anchor discovered her while exploring the street and asked her to sing a song live.
Subsequently, fans and companies all found her.
Speaking of which, although the two added Line, she basically hasn't used this app much since returning to the country, and the two seem to have not contacted much.
While Miss Luo Quan was lost in thought, the six entrances of the Tokyo Super Dome had already begun checking tickets.
More than 100,000 fans, holding tickets and proof of identity, began to verify and enter one by one.
From time to time, fans who bought scalper tickets were invited out and taken to the police for questioning.
If it was just buying scalper tickets, it wouldn't be like this, but given the frequent occurrence of concert ticket theft cases recently, no one can guarantee whether your ticket was bought from a scalper or stolen.
If it is the former, when there are fewer people later, they can be secretly let in.
If it is the latter, then they can only be locked in the bureau first.
Of course, in addition to these, there are people who want to break in without tickets, or people who take other concert tickets to fish in troubled waters.
However, these are completely self-deceiving practices. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has deployed thousands of police forces for this concert, just for the occurrence of similar situations.
In addition, there are dozens of ambulances parked outside the concert, and medical staff are ready to enter the venue to save people at any time.
At the same time, the words of Miss Luo Quan warning fans to pay attention to safety are also playing in the concert.
As the ticket checking work gradually came to an end, dusk also unknowingly descended on the sky over Tokyo.
The brilliant sunset clouds dyed the whole sky orange-red, magnificent and enchanting.
After the fans were seated, they looked excitedly at the countdown on the big screen on the stage.
"Five minutes left!"
More than a dozen cameras under the stage were also ready. YouTube, Twitter, Netflix, Bilibili, Weibo, Zhihu, almost all high-traffic platforms were broadcasting the scene.
Bilibili's popularity had reached a terrifying 120 million at this time, comparable to the S8 finals.
It had such terrifying popularity before it even started, and the hot search list had long been bombed by news related to Miss Luo Quan.
Miss Luo Quan used to ask fans not to send gifts, but this time she was not in the live broadcast room, and the day was so special, the fans who had been suppressed for a long time finally couldn't help it.
In just half an hour, she achieved the achievement of ten thousand ships, and the number of governors reached as many as five hundred.
If it weren't for the solid data placed there, it would be really hard to imagine that there were so many local tyrants hidden in Bilibili.
Now that Miss Luo Quan's concert started, everyone jumped out.
"100... 99... 98... 97"
At the concert scene, a neat and uniform shout suddenly sounded.
No one organized it, it was just the audience seeing the countdown approaching and counting down spontaneously.
The mountain-like shouting at the scene also made the barrage follow the countdown, and the scene was spectacular.
"8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!"
The countdown ended, and the concert officially began.
The lights in the whole venue went out, everyone held their breath, looking at the pitch-black stage in front.
"If it were a dream
If it were just a dream
どれほどよかったでしょう
How good would that be
I still dream of you even now
You still appear in my dreams
………………"
A voice as clear as a wind chime sounded, without accompaniment, only the sound of a guitar.
The lights lit up, Miss Luo Quan stood under the spotlight, wearing a simple white T-shirt and a pair of washed-white jeans. The screen behind her showed the bustling streets of Shibuya, with people passing by in a hurry and people stopping to listen to songs.
Some new fans might not understand what this means, but many old fans saw this scene, and tears immediately welled up in their eyes.
The place where they first met was in Shibuya, Tokyo.
How could they forget that night, in Shimizu Daisuke's live broadcast room, just seeing that gentle and beautiful smiling face, they couldn't move their eyes away, and what they thought about before going to sleep at night was her face.
And what Miss Luo Quan sang at that time was exactly this "Lemon."
As the title song in Miss Luo Quan's debut album, it is also the first song she became popular all over the network. "Lemon" has an extraordinary significance for her career.
Perhaps its national popularity is not as good as "Don't Give Up," but it is definitely the best Miss Luo Quan song in the hearts of young fans, none of them.
Because the vast majority of them knew Miss Luo Quan because of this song, fell in love with Miss Luo Quan, and it has continued to this day.
Just like first love is to lovers, "Lemon" is also so important to Miss Luo Quan fans.
Especially Miss Luo Quan's performance method of returning to the time of debut, which caused the effect of memory killing, evoking the impression of her that had been buried in the hearts of countless fans for a long time.
Just like the theme of this concert, if life is just like first sight.
When you first meet, it is always the most beautiful and the most lingering.
Not only because of this person, but also because of the series of beautiful doubts that happened after knowing her.
This is also the reason why fans suddenly burst into tears.
"Even that day's sadness
Even the sadness of that day
Even that day's suffering
Even the pain of that day
I loved all of it
I loved all of that
あなたとともに
Together with you
………………"
The climax came, and Miss Luo Quan's unadorned singing voice flowed into the hearts of every listener, like the purest liquid in the world, purifying their troubles and fatigue.
This concert used the most advanced equipment, which could almost losslessly record and amplify Miss Luo Quan's voice, making her voice sound as if it were ringing in the ears of fans.
In this world, there are really people who can soothe people's hearts just by singing. Miss Luo Quan, who is known as the music angel, has always been a representative of healing singers.
And "Lemon" is one of the most representative songs.
Once the climax started, although Miss Luo Quan's tone was raised, the soft and smooth voice was like a pair of hands, slowly plucking the heartstrings of all fans, making them get unspeakable peace.
"Remaining in my chest and won't leave
Lingering in my heart and unable to leave
The scent of bitter lemon
Bitter lemon scent
I can't go home until the rain stops
I won't go home until the rain stops
Even now, you are my light
Even now you are still my light."
The song ended, and Miss Luo Quan's voice gradually returned to calm.
Her ending was like a lemon, mixed with a little sourness in the sweetness, and a little bitterness.
Just like the stage that everyone will experience when they are young.
At the same time, a huge photo appeared on the big screen behind her.
It was Miss Luo Quan with her eyes closed, holding a lemon.
That was the cover of her first mini-album. Through this cover, she went out of the circle in the country and caused countless discussions.
"What a good memory kill, the old man's tears can't stop flowing."
"Miss Luo Quan was really too pure and beautiful before. At that time, I felt she was the other half in my heart."
"Why, isn't it now?"
"Always has been. (Dog head)"
"Time passes so fast, it's been almost three years in a flash."
"It took three years to hold a concert, need to criticize."
"But after watching this one today, I really feel that I have no regrets."
………………
In the barrage, fans were moved by Miss Luo Quan, and the popularity reached 150 million. All platforms in the world that had live broadcasts showed similar explosive phenomena.
Some apps with average technology even started to lag.
On stage, Miss Luo Quan, who finished singing a song, bowed to the fans and said into the microphone: "Thank you, thank you all for supporting the first concert in my life. I hope this concert can bring beautiful memories to everyone, just like when everyone first met me.
Speaking of which, have you guessed what I'm going to sing next?"
"First Love!"
I don't know how many people shouted.
"Yes, what I'm going to sing next is 'First Love'. I don't know how many people's first love I am?"
Miss Luo Quan smiled playfully, causing a climax of booing from the fans at the scene.
"You have always been my first love, it has never changed!"
"I've liked you for almost three years, Izumi!"
"Look here, look over here, please!"
"Izumi, I really love you so much!"
………………
Even though everyone was roaring at the top of their lungs, because there were too many people, they couldn't hear clearly at all.
But Miss Luo Quan looked around the stadium and waved, so that she could notice every corner.
She wanted to make fans feel that she didn't ignore anyone.
Taking advantage of the time she was talking, the piano used for performance appeared on the stage from the lifting platform.
Miss Luo Quan sat on the side, put her hands on the keys, and began to play.
"Can those who can sing sing together?"
Miss Luo Quan asked gently with a smile, causing countless mouths to agree in unison.
"First Love" sounded. This was still a gentle and quiet love song that made people feel relaxed and happy.
Miss Luo Quan's singing voice is always so magical. No matter how excited you are, your heartbeat will slow down after listening to her songs. ===== CHAPTER 573 =====
