Chapter 550

~8 min read 1,515 words

Of course, the discussion heat about the two Sakura language songs is not much weaker than the English songs.

"Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" and "I Once Thought About Ending It All" come from the hands of two great Sakura Country songstresses.

The former comes from the Showa songstress Nakajima Miyuki and is one of her representative works. This is an inspirational song written in a minor key, the style carries a bit of sadness, but it is extremely inspiring. How inspiring?

"Initial Dream" is adapted from this song, and some even evaluate that "Initial Dream" didn't get half of the essence of this song, it's far behind.

The song was first the theme song of a TV series with a doctor as the protagonist; the silver dragon in the song, some say it refers to a scalpel, others say it refers to a bicycle, but no matter which one it is, it is full of a romance unique to music, and has an upward power.

The whole song seems to have a kind of magic, giving people a heart-stirring feeling!

And the latter, "I Once Thought About Ending It All," is the representative work of Heisei songstress Nakajima Mika.

She suffered from Eustachian tube dysfunction, which led to hearing loss, and eventually became deaf in both ears.

For a singer who loves to sing, what could be more painful than this kind of torture?

But under such circumstances, Nakajima Mika beat the rhythm herself and sang this song.

Using the deepest darkness, she sang the most intense hope!

It infected everyone who has heard this song.

I once thought about ending it all, but that was once; I finally gave up and continued to walk on the road, to chase the dream of music.

This is the answer Nakajima Mika gave.

"Listening to 'I Once Thought About Ending It All,' I cried!"

"I cried listening to 'Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon,' my eyes were filled with hot tears! What a vigorous vitality! I felt it!"

"I haven't passed the civil service exam, my boyfriend cheated, my parents divorced... I originally didn't want to live anymore, but after listening to these two songs, I suddenly want to continue living!"

"Cheer up, sister, life is long, life is beautiful, what's in front of you is just a small setback, survive this period, and you will be able to see the rainbow!"

"I don't understand Sakura language, but I am greatly shocked! Just listening to the tune, I was infected!"

"Xu Mingyue is the best!"

"Agreed! However, why is their album so easy to cry to!"

"..."

At the same time.

The Chinese music scene has set off monstrous waves because of the album "Other Shore Twins"!

Unprecedented shock sweeps through every practitioner in the music scene.

Everyone gulps down their saliva, eyes wide open!

Everyone is shocked beyond measure, and they are all gasping for air!

"The goal of this album is definitely not just the market of the Great Ming!"

"What exactly are they trying to do?"

"I have a premonition that something big is going to happen!"

Boom boom boom!

Countless practitioners vaguely hear thunder ringing continuously between heaven and earth!

"Other Shore Twins" is undoubtedly a special album.

Industry insiders have never seen such a special one.

This specialness is not reflected in the distribution method or the album name, but because of the content.

This album contains Chinese, Cantonese, English, and Sakura language; not only that, but the song styles are also different, including DJ, lyrical, inspirational, national style traditional, etc...

From this, countless industry insiders see the twins' ambition.

Playing so big, it must not be for just one market in the Great Ming.

Holding this idea, many entertainment companies and singers start to investigate.

Soon.

They get the news.

Then, everyone is shocked!

The circle is in an uproar.

In a certain singer big group, it has already exploded!

"Their album is actually released globally at the same time!"

"America, Sakura Country, Italy, England, Bangzi Country... these countries' music platforms have all released their album! Even on 'Blue Sound,' it has been released!"

"'Blue Sound'?? My god! That is the largest music software in the world!"

"I have goosebumps!"

"Oh my mom, this is playing too big!"

"My pattern is still small; I didn't expect their goal to be the global market!"

"This is to break out of the Great Ming and conquer the world!"

"Xu Mingyue is awesome!"

"They are aiming to become international superstars!"

"Fight!"

"It ignited all of a sudden! Is it possible that our Chinese music scene is finally going to have an international superstar?"

"If they really succeed, to be precise, it should be two!"

"..."

As everyone knows, stars are also divided into different statuses, there are top-tier stars, first-tier stars, second-tier stars, etc., and the most top-tier stars are called international superstars.

International superstar, as the name suggests, is a star who is famous all over the world, possesses global influence, and has high recognition and popularity internationally.

Such stars have high popularity everywhere in the world, and at the same time possess works that are famous both at home and abroad.

It is the ultimate goal of all stars!

On Earth.

There is also the saying of international superstars.

For example, MJ (Michael Jackson)...

There are many stars in the Great Ming, but there are very few who can be recognized by the whole world and called international superstars, only those two or three people.

Precisely because the temptation to become an international superstar is full, once successful, one gains both fame and fortune!

So some stars in the entertainment industry who have already touched the ceiling of the domestic entertainment industry, even if they hit their heads and bleed, run to play small supporting roles, they must fight to rush to Hollywood and take the international route.

It's just that the dream is full, the reality is skinny, and the vast majority of people return in defeat, returning to the domestic entertainment industry.

And on the Blue Star, it is the same.

A batch after batch of stars from the Great Ming rush into Hollywood, wanting to take the international route, but very few have made waves, and only three have succeeded, but they are all stars in the film industry!

The Chinese music scene is very miserable; so far, there hasn't even been one international superstar.

On one hand, this is because of the language reason; the foreign environment mostly uses English to communicate, and Chinese is in a disadvantageous position, not many people can understand it, let alone like it.

On the other hand, it is the inherent prejudice of foreign countries that is at work.

Becoming an international superstar is extremely difficult, and becoming the first international superstar in the Chinese music scene is even harder than ascending to heaven.

In fact.

On Earth, even Zhou Dong still has a certain distance from being an international superstar.

Precisely because of this, at this very moment, when the Chinese music scene learns that Xu Mingyue's first album "Other Shore Twins" is actually released globally at the same time, everyone is shocked!

Of course, along with the shock and discussion, there are also countless doubts:

"I admit they are the big devils of the Chinese music scene, with no opponents in the Chinese music scene, but this is the global music scene; are they really not afraid of taking steps too fast and pulling their eggs? Oh, right, sorry, they don't have any."

"They are too crazy, not doing any foreshadowing, and releasing globally at the same time?"

"Too rough, this is not doing any foreplay at all!"

"Should we say they are bold because of their high skills, or that they have walked too smoothly and lost their minds?"

"Heh, I think they are muddled; the global music scene is not so easy to rush! Things that countless predecessors haven't done, things that the Chinese music scene hasn't done after developing for so long, can they succeed?"

"Outside, they speak foreign languages; what's the use of having two foreign language songs in an album? Unless those foreigners are stupid, crazy, otherwise, who would buy a whole album for those two English songs? Do they really think money is blown by the wind?"

"I see, this first album will make a big fool of itself. If the sales are not good, the shame will be lost abroad."

"One thing to say, it's a good attempt, but I hope they don't play like this next time; they represent the Chinese music scene now."

"I don't know what Xu Mingyue is jumping for; the achievements in the Chinese music scene are already so high, isn't it good to enjoy it peacefully? Why must they rush out to find trouble for themselves? In the country, no matter who in the industry meets them, they have to look up to them, even the Music Masters have to give corresponding etiquette, but globally, what kind of onion are they?"
