Put aside the troublesome things and go dancing first.
You have missed the real golden age. Can't you even dance at a disco?
Whenever Ishikawa Toshio feels shaken in his heart about his current life, there will be another huge voice in his mind that overwhelms that question and tells himself confidently:
Compared with those guys in the past, I have only done a little bit!
The inauguration day is approaching, but you can only consider jobs that you don't like. No, even those jobs that you don't like, the other party has the right to pick and choose you.
If you lower your mentality, it may not be difficult to get a job. However, when he began to consider forgetting the prosperous world he once longed for and bowing his head to this miserable reality, Ishikawa Toshio couldn't help but suddenly had a thought: Why?
!
In Ishikawa Toshio's heart, such intense emotions surged.
Why did it happen that when I arrived, what was waiting for me was this kind of world and this kind of life?
In the last year of college, Toshio Ishikawa went to the disco to dance almost every night. On the lively dance floor, he forgot the loss of his broken dreams, his uneasiness about the future, and his unwillingness to encounter a recession when it was his turn.
Ishikawa Toshio followed the new fashion created by Tetsuya Komuro with a kind of religious devotion.
He had already become a loyal supporter of TRF when it first became popular. Ishikawa Toshio participated in the grand performance at Wangan Plaza and had an unforgettable day.
Thanks to Tetsuya Komuro's music, he found an outlet for all his troubles. Ishikawa Toshio is convinced that there are countless people like him who have benefited. The evidence is that the disco in Tokyo is full every night, whether it is young people or office workers.
, everyone was immersed in the fast-paced dance music, forgetting everything that happened during the day.
When he was among them, Toshio Ishikawa felt a sense of security in being in the group without having to worry about exposing himself. In Ishikawa Toshio's heart, Tetsuya Komuro, who brought this sense of security, was like a god in his mind.
However, no matter how comfortable you are on the dance floor, you still feel an unspeakable emptiness after leaving the lively atmosphere, and you still have to face the cruel tomorrow. Becoming an adult and entering society is such an isolated and helpless thing.
With the arrival of the new year, it’s time to truly become a social person.
Ishikawa Toshio had to look up from his previous life, and with an uneasy heart about the future, he waited for the moment to "cut off his long hair and put on a suit" to officially arrive.
The new year has just begun, and Tetsuya Komuro has once again launched a new artist.
A member of the idol group named Shinohara Ryoko was selected by Tetsuya Komuro. The word "selected" is a pun. Toshio Ishikawa was not interested in this kind of story about a talented man and a beautiful woman. He was only looking forward to Tetsuya Komuro's new works.
He paid attention to the release information of the single and went to buy it as soon as it was released in the record store. There was a long queue at TSUTAYA in Shibuya, and almost every customer who came to the store was just for this new single.
When Toshio Ishikawa also got his copy of "Love, Heartache, Strength" and walked towards the long queue, he couldn't help but feel a familiar sense of security in his heart.
Just like when you are dancing on the disco dance floor, you hide your identity, forget your worries, and devote yourself wholeheartedly. Everyone around you is like you, gathered here for the same thing. Although everyone is a stranger, they seem to know each other.
We exchanged secret signals and confirmed that we were one of our own.
Ishikawa Toshio breathed a sigh of relief and lined up quietly. The queue moved forward, but the long queue got longer and longer.
Everyone is here for Tetsuya Komuro. In such an era, there is such a hero who brings everyone together.
…
"Love, Heartache, Strength", as soon as you listen to the prelude, you will know that it was written by Tetsuya Komuro. His strong personal style, in the eyes of his supporters, is the most charming thing about Tetsuya Komuro's music.
After this single was released, it topped the charts for three consecutive weeks. Other singers who chose to release singles during this period were all repelled.
At first, other record companies in the industry thought that Shinohara Ryoko was a nobody. Even if this single could be sold, it would only be concentrated in the first week. The album sales of topical artists are always extremely concentrated and easy to plummet.
It is the experience of the industry.
However, the trend of this single has made the industry's previous experience completely invalid.
The industry's luck-based empirical theory is just another proof of Tetsuya Komuro's current terrifying appeal. After the single was released, it topped the charts for three consecutive weeks, and the cumulative sales easily exceeded 700,000. Even if it is now a record
In the prosperous times of the industry, such rapid momentum is extremely rare.
Every week when the sales are calculated, the record is refreshed, and the reports surrounding this single are repeated again.
The singer accidentally chose to release a single during this period, so the record of consecutive singles being cut off by Ryoko Shinohara could only admit that he was unlucky. At least, he lost to such a single that was about to leave a mark in the history of pop music.
Qu, it’s not too derogatory.
Three weeks after Shinohara Ryoko and Komuro Tetsuya teamed up to make a killing, ZARD's new single "Don't Give Up" was released on the fourth week.
The title song of the single comes from composer Tetsuro Oda's work many years ago, and ZARD re-wrote and arranged the song. When this collaboration was made public, it also attracted the attention of the outside world.
Oda Tetsuro is a top-notch best-selling composer, and ZARD is a top-tier well-known band. The collaboration between two equally matched people is different from the topic of collaboration between Tetsuya Komuro and Ryoko Shinohara.
Just one week after the release of "Love, Heartache, Strength", GENZO deliberately took back the promotional resources and shifted the focus of promotion to ZARD's "Don't Give Up". And in the third week of the release of Ryoko Shinohara's single, ZARD's
Before the single is released, the best promotional resources that GENZO can use have been put into ZARD.
"Don't Give Up", just by looking at the name, you know it is a support song.
In an era when we cannot see the future and people are in panic, releasing a support song requires taking certain risks. A country that has lost hope will definitely sneer at empty words like "come on". If you are not careful, it will have the opposite effect.
.
When the title song of this single was published in a music magazine, the outside world did not even have high expectations for this song.
Even if it is a collaboration between a well-known band and a first-class composer...
But if such a support song wants to win sales, it must first win the hearts of the public.
In a sense, choosing to release inspirational and supportive singers with such themes is a challenge to the public.
