Chapter 63

Sure enough, Miss Luo Quan was on the morning news of all major Japanese TV stations early the next morning. Even a funny station like TV Tokyo played the full version of the "Don't Give Up" video at the end of its program.

Her and this song's presence could be seen in almost every corner. The phones for requesting this song on various radio stations never stopped, and the video's online view count reached twenty million.

Miss Luo Quan's Twitter followers also increased from less than two million to four million two hundred thousand overnight because of this song, more than doubling. And the pre-order volume for "Coming of Age" also reached two million!

And this was only the second day of the song's release. The Japanese government's promotion of this song and Miss Luo Quan herself had just begun.

Almost overnight, all supermarkets, shopping centers, convenience stores on the street, and other crowded places were playing this song on a loop. It was simply everywhere.

All news programs also played the full studio version of "Don't Give Up" at the end, and Miss Luo Quan's encouragement to the Japanese public at the end of the video became the favorite of netizens. In less than a few hours, this video of less than twenty seconds made it to the Twitter trending list.

Now, the top five on Twitter were all Miss Luo Quan. No celebrity had achieved such an achievement in recent years.

"There shouldn't be anyone who doesn't like a girl like this, right?"

This was today's number one trending topic on Japanese Twitter.

Under the topic was this edited video clip. Over one hundred thousand people commented and liked it below.

"To be able to marry such a young girl, one must have saved the galaxy in the previous life!"

"Her song and this cheering video have become the source of my regained hope."

"Don't give up, everyone. Please don't let down Izumi's encouragement to us!"

"So beautiful and kind, I declare that she is my goddess."

"You are too selfish. She should be the goddess of all of us, not belonging to you alone!"

"Yes, she is the treasure of our Japanese people."

"It's a pity she is Chinese. If only she were Japanese, how good that would be..."

"This is not important. What's important is that she is singing for us now!"

The birth of a goddess is sometimes so sudden. A few days ago, she was just a super popular singer of the new century, and now she has directly promoted to a goddess. This span is really a bit large.

However, the netizens' opinions this time were surprisingly consistent. They all felt that Miss Luo Quan deserved this title. The "minority" who usually like to go against the masses also raised both hands in approval this time.

In this unstoppable wave of pursuit, Miss Luo Quan was gradually lifted to the highest point.

Soon, various TV stations took advantage of the situation and also conducted questionnaire surveys about Miss Luo Quan on the streets.

When everything is improving, it is time to use entertainment content that the masses are interested in to divert social conflicts. When people start to be entertained again, the bitterness of life is naturally thrown to the back of their minds. This is the best way to stimulate the economy, and it is much smarter than directly printing money to save the market.

And Miss Luo Quan absolutely has this level of attention. Now she is the woman with the highest popularity in all of Japan. As long as one is not living in a place completely isolated from the world, there must be a way to know of her existence and her actions.

And those who know her actions find it very difficult not to like such a girl who has talent, appearance, and love.

In a street survey by TV Tokyo, Miss Luo Quan became the second person the public most wanted to see, with the Emperor of Japan ranking first.

At TV Asahi, the reporter interviewed nearly five hundred people with the question "Do you like Izumi?", and the answers obtained were surprisingly consistent: they all liked her!

Miss Luo Quan is currently the only celebrity in all of Japan with a 100% like rate. The one ranking behind her is the famous great Japanese director Hakusui Ryosuke, whose like rate reached 98% in a sample of five hundred people, but this globally renowned great director has passed away for many years.

This level of popularity was not even expected by Miss Luo Quan herself.

She knew that bringing out this song would bring her very high evaluations and public favor, but she didn't expect to be directly deified. What's even more outrageous is that even the Japanese government participated in it and was tireless in doing so.

One can only say that these officials are also quite desperate to save the stock market, sparing no effort to promote this foreigner.

It was also fortunate that she wasn't Korean. After all, the relationship between Japan and China can be said to be quite good, but the relationship with South Korea is simply like fire and water. If it weren't for both countries having the same boss, I'm afraid they would have fought long ago.

One can only say that the Japanese public is not particularly sensitive to Miss Luo Quan's nationality, which is why Miss Luo Quan, who gathered the right time, place, and people, was able to become a goddess in one fell swoop.

Of course, Miss Luo Quan will not naively think that she can do whatever she wants like Japan's other god—the Emperor. The Emperor also has to abide by the law, and her words and deeds need to be even more cautious.

Now her persona is flawless, pure, and kind. If even a tiny bit of bad behavior appears, it means the complete collapse of the persona, and it's a collapse to the end. So Miss Luo Quan now needs to pay attention to her words and deeds even more than before.

Although life in the future might be very restricted, at least for now, Miss Luo Quan is still very satisfied. Record sales have soared, and popularity has reached its peak. For a celebrity, she is now standing at the peak of her life. As long as she doesn't mess around, becoming a legend of a generation might be just around the corner.

Three days later, the first batch of "Coming of Age" records, which were rushed out overnight, finally came out—that is, four million copies.

The Japanese music industry can now be said to be eagerly awaiting this album, because this is the record most likely to break Japan's sales record.

On August 20th, the long-awaited "Coming of Age" finally hit major music markets around the world. However, although it was said to be a global release, in reality, there were only two versions: Japanese and Chinese.

The Korean market was basically abandoned. Although Miss Luo Quan's reputation in South Korea improved somewhat because of the quality of the songs, it was basically impossible to completely turn it around in a short time.

As for sales, South Korea could sell a few tens of thousands of copies, but the top management at Sony didn't take this little bit of "mosquito meat" to heart.

And although the popularity in China was hyped up high, there were not many people truly willing to pay. Most people wanted to be "free-riders." As for Europe and America, they were even less worth considering; the language and culture were completely different, and there was simply no market.

So, as soon as the records hit the shelves, regions outside Japan contributed less than fifty thousand copies in sales, which can only be described as pitifully small.

But in Japan, where the highest hopes were placed, the sales of "Coming of Age" on the first day of release reached a terrifying four million!

That is to say, the first batch of printed records were all sold out!

Besides the two million or so pre-ordered copies that were sent out directly, the remaining one million plus copies were distributed to various record retail stores in Tokyo. Often, before the owners could even put the records on the shelves, the impatient public had already rushed in to scramble for them.

Some of them saw the news of Miss Luo Quan's record release on TV, and some heard it on the radio. The efficiency of such large-scale free promotion was simply several times that of Sony's promotion department.

The people who came to the stores were mostly middle-aged people over thirty. They are the group with the highest consumption power, and also the group most affected by the negative social emotions before.

It was Miss Luo Quan's singing voice that allowed them to regain confidence and move forward. Whether to thank the goddess for her help, or to thoroughly appreciate the goddess's voice, they all wanted to buy a record.

And this was only in Tokyo. Now all of Japan is eagerly awaiting this record of Miss Luo Quan.

Those who didn't buy the record complained on the internet one after another, accusing Sony of why they only printed such a small amount of goods after so long. The person in charge should simply commit seppuku to apologize!

Seeing the public's reaction so understandable, Sony, just like before, immediately issued an apology and arranged for all cooperating record printing factories to start production. The second batch of printing volume will be six million copies!

If the second batch of records can all be sold out, Miss Luo Quan will become a legend in the history of Asian pop music.
