When Kirisa Nishino left the department store, she took away three small CDs, which were about the size of her palm.
A normal optical disc has an outer diameter of 120mm and an inner diameter of 15mm, but the outer diameter of this mini CD is only 80mm, and its capacity is also small, only about 100mm. It is usually only used to store singles or three or five classic specials, mainly for
Save costs and avoid waste.
The Japanese music market likes to use this kind of small CD. The music industry here likes to promote singles, and there is no inconvenience in using it. It can be recognized by any optical disc drive. The "hole" in the middle of the optical disc drive is for this kind of disc.
Specially prepared.
It's just a small CD, so it's not that much cheaper. The price of each CD is 1,600 yen. This is a special situation in Japan where copyright protection is super strict. There are too many people who are sharing money from this small CD, and there is also a piece of Chihara Rinto in it.
portion, and quite a lot.
But Nishino Kirisa doesn't care. She really likes the song "Lemon" and never gets tired of listening to it. Although she doesn't know if there will be anyone like her, she feels that spending her pocket money on it is worth the cost of the other two songs.
I planned to give it back to two good friends, but as I had used up a lot of pocket money and couldn't buy snacks anymore, I tricked the stupid pig Aiko of the Mountain God into buying it for her. Anyway, I couldn't eat less snacks.
Friends, you can't forget good things, but you also have to deal with them at ordinary times.
She went home directly and had no intention of reviewing, so she lay down on her little bed and listened to it over and over again. Finally, she felt a sense of peace of mind, as if some of the obsessions in her heart could finally be let go.
This is the power of music, right? She was lying on the bed, feeling relaxed after finishing her sadness. She couldn't help but softly said: "This is such a good song..."
There seemed to be quite a few people who had the same feelings as her. Chihara Rinto received the latest feedback that night. The sales of the single "Lemon" suddenly increased sharply, and the daily sales nearly doubled, reaching 21,000 pieces per day.
.
Is this word of mouth finally spreading?
Qianhara Rinto put away his mobile phone, feeling a little less irritated. He felt that things seemed to have turned around, but he was a little worried that this was a flash in the pan. After all, today is Sunday, and there are more people hanging out, so why not buy a single CD?
There will probably be a little more people, maybe it's just a normal market cycle reaction.
Maybe you shouldn’t be happy too early!
He continued to remain calm, but he was more concerned about tomorrow's data, and subsequent data proved that his worries were completely in vain. The results were still very good. Sales on Monday were basically the same as Sunday, reaching 20,000. Tuesday was even better, rising to 2.7 in one fell swoop.
Thousands of pieces.
What's even more gratifying is that on Wednesday's Oricon Chart, "Lemon" ranked 49th on the single-day singles chart with sales of 32,000 units!
This is definitely good news, even if it is only at the bottom of the list, it is still good news!
The Oricon Chart is the most well-known music ranking list in Japan. It not only provides daily, weekly, monthly, and annual cumulative sales information rankings for music, but also provides rankings for books, comics, and advertising favorability. In Japan
This list is very influential mainly because it has been around for a long time. This list has been around since the 1960s, and many people have become accustomed to paying attention to it.
In a sense, the Oricon Chart is very authoritative. It is a benchmark for popular music, no, it should be said to be a popular culture. If "Lemon" can be on the Singles Singles Chart, it may be known to more fans.
, the sales performance will be better and the influence will be greater, which will naturally be more beneficial to "Unnatural Death" in increasing the ratings.
Chihara Rinto was very grateful to him for insisting on making the difference and deceiving Sakaizumi Izumi to come back and sing this song. By the way, he also became more kind to Izumi Yuko. Even though she was still very fascinated by her performance today, if she hadn't come to her door in the first place.
Come on, he wouldn't have bothered to film "Unnatural Death", and if he had changed to another drama, in this situation where the four major commercial channels were chasing him and attacking him, he really couldn't figure out how to fight back.
Maybe if it is delayed until the end of the winter season, it will still end in a loss for all.
What a blessing!
Qianhara Rinto was slightly relieved. He felt that even if he had to fight a bloody battle with the four major commercial TV stations, he seemed to have an advantage now. It was probably because he had secretly hidden a small dagger, and the four opponents were bare-handed.
The chances of winning have significantly increased.
He really hoped that "Lemon" would achieve better results, so he didn't go home tonight. He rushed to the office to find out what the fans thought of "Lemon", but the home entertainment section of the newspaper didn't care much about the song and the singer.
He took a look at the drama reviews of "Unnatural Death". As expected, the drama critics were still very conservative and didn't even comment on the ratings of a little over 15%.
, obviously still waiting to see the situation.
Unable to find the information he wanted in the newspaper, Chihara Rinto immediately turned on his computer and went online. He searched several large forums for "lemon" and found that someone was indeed recommending it. After careful analysis for a while, he was sure it was not Keima Shiraki.
That second-generation naval officer, only then did he take a closer look.
"I just discovered a good song "Lemon" in the tommt chain store. I highly recommend you to listen to it. This song reminded me of my girlfriend in college, and then I suddenly realized that ten years have passed..."
There was also a lot written at the end, the poster was reminiscing about his young love in high school, and this made Chihara Rinto confused. What are you talking about? This song has nothing to do with love bullshit. Do you have ears?
He dragged down the post and looked down, and found that many people had heard of it, and they all made comments there, following the poster's words and recalling past love regrets.
"It's a good song. I also think of my past boyfriend. I regret breaking up with him. My current boyfriend is worse than him!"
"The meaning of reluctance in the song is so strong, it makes people feel so uncomfortable when listening to it."
"I have listened to this song dozens of times, and the more I listen to it, the more it tastes to me. It is simply a breath of fresh air in the current music scene."
"It is indeed a rare good song. The singer sang it with great devotion. He must have lost his most beloved person, right?"
"Does it sound good? I'll try it tomorrow..."
This post has just been opened, and not many people have responded. They all admit that "Lemon" is a rare masterpiece, but it is completely beside the point. Chihara Rinto is unable to complain, and feels that he has copied a fake theme song.
Immediately left a very shameless message at the end of the post: This is the theme song of "Unnatural Death", Kanto United Channel 1, Friday night at 8pm, it will be more interesting to listen to it after watching the show!
After he finished replying, he crossed out this post and clicked on another one. He found that this one was still not on the topic. The group of people were gathering together to discuss Banquan Spring Water.
"With her angelic voice, I was fascinated by her. I now declare that I am her fan!"
"Her voice is super nice. Does anyone know if she has any other works?"
"Same question, I also want all her information."
"Let's build a Banquan support club. Such a good singer should not be buried!"
"Agree, we will set up a fan club and I will be the patriarch."
Chihara Rinto read the entire post, and was very sad to find that no one mentioned "Unnatural Death", and he was not even mentioned. I came back after hard work to find Sakaquan Spring Water, not just for you to enjoy her singing.
, you guys go to the theater!
He also shamelessly left the broadcast time of "Unnatural Death" at the back, and shamelessly boasted about it. Then he looked through other posts and found that not many people care about the TV series among fans.
Suddenly my head hurt again. I felt that the situation may not be as wonderful as I thought. But after having a headache for a while, I gradually calmed down. It was a good thing after all. It was better than no one caring. At this time, even if there was one more person in the audience, it would still be helpful to defeat the competition.
Advantage to the opponent!
He directly closed the forum page, leaned back on his chair, and began to think about whether he should add a few more interludes to "Unnatural Death" to attract more fans to watch the show. After all, he had started copying songs.
This is an existence that claims to be able to support half of the world's physical music industry. The fan base is huge. If we can make good use of this group of people, the benefits will definitely be huge.
This was considered a crooked move outside the market, and Qianhara Rinto thought about it very seriously.
"Lemon" is probably the most successful theme song in Japanese dramas. It must have and be dominant. You don't need to think too much about it, otherwise he wouldn't have spent the time to find Sakazumi Spring Water for it, and he was still on the third episode.
In the second episode, the part where the two imprisoned girls comforted each other also included an interlude song "Although Our Hands Are Empty", which was more suitable for the occasion. He thought the effect was quite good, so should he add more?
He sat and thought for a while, then stood up and walked around the office. After thinking about it for a long time, he gave up this tempting idea.
If you insist on copying songs, it will definitely be easier. He has many classic songs in Japanese history, but if you force them into "Unnatural Death", it will probably destroy the charm of the series itself. Don't please the fans.
If it also makes fans of the drama dissatisfied, then it's a bit more gain than loss, and it's definitely not cost-effective.
"Although..." may be the only exception. This song really suits the warm and encouraging atmosphere of the second episode and the following episodes. It is enough as an interlude, and more is not necessary.
He gave up the idea and immediately began to look forward to the ratings after the second episode. He hoped that fans could help him and kill all his competitors as soon as possible in this battle for time slots. These guys who moved time slots would be more and more likely to die.
Later, the greater the impact on his performance, the smaller the broad social repercussions he wants, and the lower the possibility of becoming a "national teacher"!
With his expectation, the sales performance of "lemon" on Thursday was still improving steadily, reaching a good result of 35,000 pieces sold per day. Calculated this way, maybe it will also appear on the Oricon weekly list next week.
The name "lemon" is even more of a good thing among good things.
Before the Oricon data came out on Friday, the second episode of "Unnatural Death" was aired, and it was time to get to grips with the competitors.
Chihara Rinto was carrying a "pocket knife" and was waiting for an opportunity to see if he could stab an opponent to death. But when he looked at the ratings report on Saturday morning, he was shocked to find that he had succeeded. He actually stabbed to death an opponent sent by Fujiyama TV Station.
The ratings of the variety show were so terrible that he basically died on the spot!
