"Ninja" is included in Jay Chou's album "Fantasy".
The whole song is mainly rap and incorporates Eastern style.
It was originally written by Jay Chou for Zhang Huimei to sing, but because there was too much rap, it was not adopted and he finally took it back to sing it himself.
When Jiang Yuan released his third album "Le", he included this song in the first half of the album.
Before the song was released, it was bought by a game that used ninja elements, and was used as a promotional song for the game and the music video was shot.
Jiang Yuan himself reported the song name behind the scenes, and the Sakura audience watching the live broadcast at the scene and in front of the screen did not pay attention to the song title Jiang Yuan reported.
Instead, he focused all his attention on Jiang Yuan's Japanese.
Although he is just a beginner, the system's powerful talent has made Jiang Yuan's accent very standard.
So many Sakura viewers were in a daze for a while.
While the Sakura audience was in a daze, Jiang Yuan had already quickly changed into a coat with the help of the staff.
Wearing a black zippered sweatshirt with a hood, Jiang Yuan put on the hat. The prelude of the song sounded and the lights turned red, creating a sense of mystery.
The moment the prelude of the song started playing, Chinese fans who had listened to this song for a long time also became excited.
[I didn’t expect to be able to sing "Ninja"]
【This song is so cool!!】
【This should not bring excitement to the whole audience!】
【A song I haven’t learned yet.】
【This prelude is just gauzy!】
The prelude of the song set the scene on fire in an instant.
The drum kit, bass, guzheng, and xylophone started roaring at the same time, blending together perfectly.
It also immediately shifted the audience's attention from standard Japanese to the song performance.
At the performance site, such a prelude can greatly mobilize the atmosphere.
And in the eyes of many Sakura viewers, the song "Red Rose, White Rose" just now has basically made the audience characterize Jiang Yuan as a capable singer.
Now that the prelude to "Ninja" has started, even his outfit has changed. In the eyes of the audience, it's like he's a different person.
From elegant and affectionate to cool and handsome image.
Following the drumbeat, Jiang Yuan also started singing.
“A small shrine in an izakaya, just off the cobblestone-covered entrance.”
"Almost one meter wide, I sit and drink miso soup..."
The song "Ninja" is actually quite difficult.
It is said to be rap, but it also has a certain melody. If it is slightly inaccurate, it will not sound like that at all when it is sung.
When Jiang Yuan sang this time, the overall singing style was also close to the original version, and even the pronunciation was deliberately blurred a lot.
If you sing too clearly, you will lose some feeling.
The rapid-fire rap was sung along with the accompaniment, and it immediately lifted the atmosphere of the scene.
It doesn't matter if the audience at the scene can't understand it. After all, Chinese fans may not be able to understand this deliberately vague pronunciation.
In the previous life, there were even fans of Jay Chou who had listened to this song for many years and lamented that they only realized that the lyrics were in Chinese and not Japanese.
The opening series of rap gave the audience an excellent listening experience.
After the main song is sung for a short period, the flow of the song begins.
"There, the shrine makes a wish, and a picture flashes across"
"Here, the ninja is covering his face and blowing hidden arrows in the corner..."
While the melody and rhythm are syncopated, clarinet performance is also added to the accompaniment, making the arrangement richer.
At the same time, because of the bonus of the virtual buff, Jiang Yuan's performance is very enjoyable to watch.
Although there is no choreography of dance moves, just simply doing waves according to the rhythm of the song, it also gives the audience a swag-filled look.
If "Red Roses, White Roses" attracted a group of viewers before, then this song "Ninja" has touched the preferences of another group of viewers.
“Ah 咿忦~Ah 咿忦~咿咿～”
After the rapid-fire cannon-like rap ends, the following chant changes the atmosphere of the song, successfully creating a mysterious and eerie feeling, which is very consistent with the song title "Ninja".
"The thoughts of Iga-ryu ninja,
There will only be katana gestures,
I am learning flower arrangement at home alone..."
After the singing section ended, the drums started again, and Jiang Yuan's singing accurately hit the beat, immediately making the audience shake along again.
After rocking for a short while, the drum beat stopped again, and it was the back before the chorus that had been recorded in advance.
"はぃはぃはぃゎかいました
(Yes, yes, I understand)"
As a rare Japanese line in the song, it was also the only line that the Sakura audience understood, and they immediately began to cheer loudly.
Accompanied by the cheers of support from the audience, three accelerated drum beats entered the chorus of the song.
"いちにさんし(一二三四), cherry blossoms are falling all over the ground,
There is a kind of mystery that condenses the air..."
During the chorus, Jiang Yuan walked to the front of the stage, sang in time, and started to interact with the audience.
Although they didn't understand the lyrics behind it, the audience understood the first line "one two three four".
Soon he was also infected by Jiang Yuan, and started to sway along with the rhythm of the song.
"いちにさんし(一二三四), attack in the dark,
Go for a sneak attack, using smoke as a weapon..."
Although I couldn't understand what was being sung, the words "one, two, three, four" already made the audience feel a little excited.
[It feels so fun to sing one, two, three, four like this!]
【So handsome! He raps so well!】
【It really feels like a ninja!】
[It’s like a completely different person, now he’s completely a rapper! 】
[I’m really curious about what the lyrics are about!]
…
When the barrage flashed across the screen, Jiang Yuan had already finished singing the first chorus and at the same time posed on the stage to listen to the interlude.
In the interlude part, except for the main melody and the drum set that run through the whole song, all other instruments disappear, and flutes and strings are added at the same time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a very touching interlude ends, it cuts to the second verse again.
"The small shrine in the izakaya..."
The lyrics of the second verse of the verse are not much different from the first verse, and are generally consistent.
However, the expression in singing is also slightly different.
In the first part, Jiang Yuan was more like bringing the atmosphere of the scene, but by the second part, the atmosphere of the scene had been mobilized by Jiang Yuan.
"In my heart, the shogunate reappeared,
The Yamanote Line in old Tokyo,
Like a nostalgic silent movie..."
While singing, Jiang Yuan came to the front of the extension stage to express the audience's emotions.
The audience in the front row felt that this had completely turned into a hip-hop scene.
After the singing ended, which was exactly the same as the first verse, the chorus sung again.
"いちにさんし, cherry blossoms are falling all over the ground..."
いちにさんし, be completely invisible and forget what you are.”
After another chorus is sung, it enters the last section.
After getting the rhythm right, Jiang Yuan tentatively pointed the microphone at the audience.
The audience couldn't understand anything else, but they learned the phrase "いちにさんし" after hearing it back and forth several times.
So after Jiang Yuan handed over the microphone, the audience in the front row also shouted together.
"いちにさんし" the audience shouted loudly.
"The Story of Ninja!" Jiang Yuan took back the microphone and sang, then handed the microphone to the audience in the other direction again.
"いちにさんし, I have to cut off the past!"
"いちにさんし, loyalty is the only thing!"
At the last moment of the song, coupled with the interaction with the audience, the atmosphere became completely crazy.
"いちにさんし!"
On the last sentence, Jiang Yuan took back the microphone and sang loudly.
The song ends with a "咿yo~" sound and comes to an end.
The song "Ninja" is not long at all, only a little over two minutes in total, so the audience felt that they still had something to say.
Although the online audience could not feel the explosive atmosphere like the live audience.
But the advantage of being online is that you can see more close-up pictures of Jiang Yuan, and you can't help but sigh with the performance.
【He’s so handsome! I haven’t seen such a handsome artist in a long time!】
[What is the name of this song? I want to download it. Is it "One Two Three Four"? 】
【It would be nice if it could be longer!】
[Although I can’t fully understand the lyrics, the atmosphere at the scene is really crazy!]
[You can actually sing so well when you look like this!]
["Ninja" goes directly to the cherry blossom explosion site! 】
[One chord runs through the whole song! After listening to it many times, I still think "Ninja" is so cool!!]
[Jiang Yuan and Oppa have the strength of a famous rapper!]
…
After singing two songs, Jiang Yuan had already conquered many audiences before even singing the Japanese song specially prepared for this celebration.
When Jiang Yuan took off his earphones and prepared to talk about the last song, he was also startled by the loud cheers and cheers from the audience.
Park Chang-sik was stunned at the response at the scene.
He clearly remembered that when Jiang Yuan first came on stage, the audience didn't react like this.
This can only show that Jiang Yuan's performance is too effective.
Two songs successfully attracted many new fans, which made Park Chang-sik feel envious and at the same time even more worried.
This time, through Jiang Yuan's rap performance, he felt Jiang Yuan's stage charm more intuitively.
Singing one, two, three, and four can bring excitement to the scene, and it also makes Park Chang-sik worried that he will not wait until he hits "New Famous Song" again soon, and then destroys his new album.
"Did everyone like the performance just now?" Jiang Yuan asked and interacted with a smile.
As soon as the microphone was handed over, I received immediate positive feedback from the audience.
"There is one last song left to perform for everyone. It is a new song that has not been sung for everyone yet. This is the first time it will be released on stage!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
This is obviously very effective for the audience.
"This is a song sung entirely in Japanese." Jiang Yuan then added, and there was another burst of exclamation from the audience.
The number of barrages on the screen has also begun to increase.
【Is that right?】
【I actually have to sing Japanese songs!!】
[You are so attentive that you thought it was a solo concert!]
【Wow, I’m so looking forward to it!】
【There are new songs to listen to!!】
In the guest seats under the stage, Arimura Haruka was also staring at Jiang Yuan expectantly.
It was when I listened to Jiang Yuan's new song during the rehearsal that I came up with the idea of inviting Jiang Yuan to be a guest at his concert.
After the audience reacted, Jiang Yuan continued to introduce the song to be performed next.
"The name of the song is "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon". It is a song full of hope. I hope it can bring comfort to everyone." Jiang Yuan finished the introduction and the performance was about to begin.
The song "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon" is sung by Miyuki Nakajima. It is included in the album and is also the theme song of a Japanese medical drama.
The song also achieved very good results the year it was released.
Most domestic listeners will be more familiar with the Chinese version of this song "Initial Dream".
Jiang Yuan originally had no intention of singing this song.
But I was thinking about making my Japanese song debut to leave a deep impression on Sakura’s audience.
Judging from the buffs and skills he currently has, Jiang Yuan feels that this song is very suitable, and if you buy the Japanese version, you will also get a Chinese version, which is very cost-effective.
After the song was introduced, the lights dimmed.
Jiang Yuan changed into a series of white performance clothes with the help of the staff.
During the three-song performance, Jiang Yuan controlled the time and tried his best to have a different look for each song.
In the eyes of many viewers, this really felt like a concert.
After the lights dimmed, they lit up again on the stage as the prelude of the song sounded.
The mainly blue lights were scattered on the stage. Jiang Yuan stood in the center of the stage wearing a long white trench coat, with a microphone plugged into the microphone stand in front of him.
The piano played slowly along with the prelude of the strings, building up the atmosphere bit by bit, and gradually calmed down the excitement of the audience.
At the same time, the big screen behind Jiang Yuan gradually showed a picture of the sea from darkness.
This is an animation background specially created by Jiang Yuan in previous performances.
At the moment, it is also applicable to the song "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon".
Many people may not know what the word "silver dragon" in the song title means.
Miyuki Nakajima once said this when the song was first released.
The silver dragon in the title of the song actually means that when a ship is sailing on the sea, the waves splashed by the stern will shine brightly under the sunlight, so it is called the silver dragon.
At the same time, this silver dragon is also compared to a doctor's scalpel, so it is also a symbol of hope.
Before the song was even sung, the prelude gave the audience a blast.
When the audience gradually calmed down due to the prelude, Jiang Yuan was also preparing to sing.
Focusing on [Healing Sound], combined with various singing skills and buffs, Jiang Yuan was ready.
At the scene, many Sakura singers were paying close attention to the stage, curious about what kind of Japanese song Jiang Yuan would bring.
Under the soothing prelude, Jiang Yuan began to sing, and his singing voice blended into the accompaniment like a gentle spring breeze.
"Far away in the ocean dyed blue, someone is suffering right now..."
