Chapter 371 "Lemon Lamentations"

"Ah, it's such a touching song. Is this song called "Lemon" right?"

When the performance of "Lemon" was finished, the audience in the audience had not yet come out of the scene created by the song. Host Tamori took his assistant host, Mu Wanlicai, to the stage and stopped the non-closing band that was about to leave.

The performance interview is also a major feature of the program "MUSIC STATION". Unlike the Korean and domestic song-playing programs, "MUSIC STATION" will keep the guests and conduct a simple interview after some special guest performances.

Sometimes, I would directly ask several groups of idol group guests to play some games on the stage, which was somewhat like the in-shelf variety shows from the last century.

After all, Japan itself is the originator of funny variety shows in the studio, with all kinds of pranks, interviews and spoofs emerging one after another.

Of course, "MUSIC STATION" is not a spoof program. Tamorie stayed with a band that was open only to let the audience know more about this new band and the story of their songs.

"Dear friends of the band that are open, please say hello to the audience first!"

Tamorie pointed to the camera and said happily: "Today's real-time ratings of "MUSIC STATION" have exceeded 19%, which is almost as high as that of super live. There are a lot of viewers watching you in front of the TV."

The average daily viewership rate of the "MUSIC STATION" program is only about 15%. Even the super live red and white song party at the end of the year is equivalent to the domestic Spring Festival Gala, with ratings floating in the range of 21%-22%, and it has declined a bit in recent years.

It is a miracle that the performance of a non-closing band can increase the daily viewership to 19%.

It's a pity that it's difficult for them to break the ratings record of "MUSIC STATION".

After all, this is a program that has been in operation for more than 30 years. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Internet was not popular yet, and it was the real peak of this program. The ratings are often 20%-30%, which is incomparable to now.

Ye Weiyang and Pudding Yang Xiao obediently followed Tamori's request, stood up and took a shot, bowed 90 degrees to the camera according to local customs, and shouted in unison: "Hello everyone, we are a band that will not close tonight, just ask us to close to the band!"

"I am the lead singer, Ye Weiyang!"

"I'm a guitarist, Yang Xiao!"

"I'm a drummer, Jing Bo'an!"

"I'm a keyboardist, pudding!"

"I am a bassist, Wu Dawei!"

All five of them were greeting the audience in Japanese. They learned Japanese for more than half a year together, but it was quite effective.

However, except for Ye Weiyang, the other people's Japanese spoken language is still a bit fluent. Although they can understand it, they still have some bumps in their speech.

Fortunately, I have practiced my self-introduction and am still very fluent.

After the members of the non-closing band introduced themselves one by one, Tamorie picked up the microphone and started an interview: "As a Chinese band, how did you feel when you came to Japan for the first time? Are there any things you don't get used to?"

As the representative of the band and the one who is most proficient in Japanese, Ye Weiyang is naturally the only one who can answer the questions.

"This is our second time to Japan, but it is indeed our first time to Tokyo."

"Of course it feels great. Tokyo is a very international metropolis. Living here, I feel that except for the different languages ​​I hear around me, there is no difference between it and Yanjing, and Yanjing."

“The local specialty food is also delicious, and there is nothing you don’t want to get used to.”

Ye Weiyang really wanted to complain about Japan's rich etiquette culture. It was really tiring to bow at any time!

However, if you want to develop in Japan, don’t criticize the local culture. This is not a terrible search.

So Ye Weiyang could only praise the city, praise the high quality of passers-by, and praise the delicious food. Anyway, Japanese fans think they like Japan very much, so they can get the wealth code.

The audience at the scene saw Ye Weiyang talking endlessly and praising various things in Japan, and smiles immediately appeared on their faces, with a proud expression, and there was a lot of intimacy in their eyes when they watched the band open.

Who doesn’t like foreigners to praise their country as good as that?

This band is good and can be done!

Tamori nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Ye Sang feels very familiar with our Japanese culture. If I guess correctly this song "Lemon", it should have something to do with "Lemon" right?"

"I believe Ye Sang often knows about our country's culture if he can write such a song of music related to famous Chinese poets."

"Lemon Elegy", a song selected for Japanese junior high school textbooks, is equivalent to China's "Ode to the Goose". The background of this poem happens to be very similar to "Lemon", so Tamorli boldly guessed.

And he really guessed it right.

Ye Weiyo nodded with a smile and explained, "Yes, when I finished writing the song, I happened to think of Mr. Kotaro Takamura's "Lemon Elegy" and felt that the two were very compatible, so I wrote the lyrics in Japanese, almost in one go."

"So this song is called "Lemon", which also means "Lemon".

His explanation was actually all fake, just finding a suitable reason for the birth of "Lemon".

However, when Master Yonezu created "Lemon", he should have thought of "Lemon".

After all, the creation background of "Lemon" and "Lemon" of Takamura Mitsutaro's "Lemon Elegy".

Kotaro Takamura was a famous Japanese sculptor and poet. He married his wife, the famous painter Nagamanuo Tomoeko.

But after marriage, his wife was sick and had been between a nursing home and a hospital in her later years.

In the end, Chieko died of tuberculosis.

Before his death, Chieko told Mitsutaro that she wanted a lemon. After taking a bite, Chieko seemed to suddenly return to her. In an instant, she suddenly regained her previous consciousness and then passed away.

Therefore, he placed lemons in front of his wife's portrait.

After Chieko's death, Takamura Mitsutaro wrote this song "Lemon Elegy" for her.

The poem "Lemon Elegy" is about commemorating his deceased wife.

This coincides with the emotions that "Lemon" wants to express. It is hard not to guess that "Lemon" is not associated with "Lemon's Elegy".

Otherwise, this song was also Lemon, and Lemon is also a thing that carries rich emotions in this song.

So Ye Weiyang admitted Tamori's speculation calmly.

After Tamorli got a positive answer from Ye Weiyang, his expression when he looked at Ye Weiyang became more kind, with appreciation in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that a musician from China could have such an in-depth understanding of Japanese culture and write such a touching song using the stories of Japanese poets."

"This is what really treats Japanese fans as friends and wants to develop seriously in the Japanese music scene, rather than just making money."

"We are very welcome to such an excellent foreign musician, and we hope that the band's first Japanese album can achieve very good results!"
