Chapter 21 citypop
After school was over in the afternoon, the five band members, Matsuda Seiko, and Kawahira Naboko came to the music classroom together.
The seven people came together, but the music classroom was not just the seven of them.
The 221 band is already very famous at Daocheng No. 5 Middle School. In addition, the four people in the band are remarkable in appearance, and there are many people who pursue them, most of them are girls. After a few people came, the girls on the scene even had a commotion, as if an idol band was coming.
Six people entered the music classroom, and most of the onlookers stayed outside the classroom. The onlooker team composed of about twenty people did not object to the special objection to the Holyko Matsuda, because there was a Oda in the band who was not a performer.
Three girls sat down and four began to practice.
The most important problem that the band has been practicing internally recently is Xiang Yeshener.
The composition of the 221 band, Matsuoka Hanaki drum, Lin Le keyboard, Nakajima Eisa bass, and Sayashiji guitar. In fact, this is slightly different from most normal band compositions. The least band composition is drum, bass and guitar. The expansion should be drum, bass, lead guitar and rhythm guitar. Because Lin Le uses more electronic melody and synthesizers, the keyboard is added instead of the second guitar.
This makes it quite hard for Saya Shinji to have a guitar and lead singer role. If he is a mature guitarist in his twenties, it will be fine. The key is that he is only 17 years old. No matter how good the guitar level is, he will easily get into trouble when he is distracted as a lead singer.
Practice is actually very boring, and it will not perform a song in full. In most cases, it is reinforced and practiced for a certain part.
So although there were many people around at the beginning, as the practice became boring and deepened, there were fewer students around the neighborhood.
Matsuda Seiko and Kawakanabako listened more and more seriously.
The two of them have a vocational entertainment industry. When they don’t go to school after they come to Tokyo, they always have to attend classes in the office. In addition to their debut preparations, these classes are music theory, dance and acting courses, so they may not know the instruments of a few people, but they can understand them.
Although several people have been worried about Xiang Yeshenji's guitar, the guitar level in the entire band is actually good, and the same is true for other instruments. They are absolutely top-notch among high school students. Of course, if you want to say that in the entertainment industry, high school students of this level are not impossible to find. There are so many people all over the country, and you can always find them if you want to find them.
The only thing that may be a bit bad may be Lin Le's keyboard. The composer can't just play the piano very well, just like Lang Lang and Jay Chou. The former's piano level is so high that it's too high, but although Jay Chou's piano is also very good, it's a bit too much to compare with Lang Lang.
The focus of the attention of Matsuda Holyko is also song.
Although the two of them had never heard the band perform in full, it was good enough to hear a few sporadic lines now.
Even Ashi Shinji was trapped in singing while playing.
It’s really not that the company attaches importance to Lin Le. If all his songs are of this level, no, if even one song he writes is of this level every year, it will be enough to attract the market.
While several people were immersed in the musical instruments, Matsuda Seiko and Kawahara Namoko had already started chatting.
"This guy is really good, the song is very good. I have observed it these two days. He obviously likes you more, otherwise you can just follow her!" said Matsuda Holyko.
"How do you see that he likes me more?" Kawahasabako asked in surprise, holding her schoolbag.
"Please, can't you even see Lin Le's posture in the classroom?? He sat there and looked at you at any time. Relatively speaking, he looked at me at a very few times. What's not like about you?!"
"Huh? Have you noticed so much? I didn't think much about this."
"I..." Matsuda Shengzi was speechless. She wanted to say that she really didn't want to pay attention to these things, but Lin Le was the target assigned to her by the company after all, so she couldn't help but pay attention, but even she couldn't convince her of this excuse.
"I can't control it either... the more I feel that I shouldn't care, the more I think, I'm not thinking about him, I'm thinking about his songs, I really want to know what kind of works he can write."
Kawahara Namoko said: "Actually, I am the same. There are so few peers who can do this, so we don't blame me."
Although there was a great change in understanding Lin Le and the 221 band, the gap between the two and the band still existed. After the practice that day, several people walked back. Out of the seven, three boys walked together, while four girls walked together.
Xiang Yeshenji, who was behind, poked Lin Le, who was pushing the bicycle, asked whisper: "Hey, how about these two, are they beautiful enough, right?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Le asked.
"Nonsense, you don't know what I mean!? When I said I only fell in love with my idol, these two are fine, right? Who are you interested in? Is it really naoko??"
If "idol" is used as the standard, these two will be fine.
It is impossible to say that Lin Le is not moved. After all, she likes idols so much in her previous life, but if she wants him to chase whom she is now, Lin Le can't do such a thing. The difference between traveling through time and watching through the screen in the previous life is that you are in contact with living people. Lin Le doesn't feel that the impressions she gets through the screen, including their experiences in the next forty years, can all be brought into the two 17-year-old girls in front of her.
What he once saw were two beautiful scrolls, but now in front of him, there are still two white papers to a large extent.
Lin Le confidently said that he likes the glittering idols on the stage, but he doesn't know the two of them enough in the real world.
Of course, in Xiangyeshener's opinion, Lin Le's "style" seems disgusting. Two super beautiful girls have been sent to you, but you actually think that they are not idols!?
Didn’t the company say that the two will become idols soon?? Do you have to wait until they debut before they count?
Lin Le knew they had understood something wrong, but when she explained it, Xiang Yeshener listened to it at all. After trying it twice, Lin Le gave up and explained it, so he let them understand it randomly. Anyway, everyone has been sent here, putting themselves in their shoes, and if things happen to others, Lin Le will definitely have some ambiguous and charming random thoughts.
Several people chatted and came to Lin Lejia’s restaurant.
The six people were arranged to sit at a dining table in the corner, and Lin Le went into the kitchen himself.
After a while, Lin Le did not serve the food himself, but the music in the restaurant suddenly changed.
It turns out that the Lin Lejia restaurant is playing very ordinary pop music, but now it is Ymo's latest album "solid state survivor".
Accompanied by the music, Lin Le came out from behind swayingly.
As soon as he came out, Xiang Yeshener complained: "I heard of this kind of thing again, I really don't know what's good about it!"
"You are still the lead singer. If you can't even understand this album, don't think about becoming a star!" Lin Le complained in a tit-for-tat way.
"Is this album really good?" Matsuda Seiko asked Kawahara Naboko beside her in a low voice.
"The people in my company also say it's very awesome, but I actually don't understand it very much..." said Kawahara Namoko.
It’s not that they don’t understand. In fact, few RB people can understand YMO’s original electronic music.
After the release of this album, it first became popular in Europe and the United States, and then became popular again.
Then next year, the album will sell for one million yuan and will win the Best Album Award at Next Year's Record Awards.
Not to mention the few high school students in the restaurant now, even after 40 years, this very pure electronic music album is not something that everyone likes.
Lin Le himself was not able to understand this album very quickly when he first heard this album in his previous life. After all, he heard it after 2010.
It was not until later that Citypop became popular again, and learned more about the RB entertainment industry and music history, and listened to more electronic music that I understood the meaning of this album.
Lin Le explained: "This is pure electronic music. Its influence as pop music may not be particularly high. Most of the whole album is pure music, and only a small part of it has foreign language lyrics. But the key is not how good the album is and how popular it is, but how much inspiration the music people can get from this album. The so-called experimental and pioneering music value is here. Ordinary people may think it is weird now. After forty years, they may think it is old-fashioned, but if they watch it in five or ten years, they will think it is perfect. It is popular, and when music people are pursuing this forward-looking nature."
This album is indeed popular, with RB sales of millions in China, which is not a very common figure even in 1980s. But if you want to say whether it is popular or not, it was indeed popular at that time, but it was far from reaching the level where many people still sang it on the stage decades later, like most pop music.
Most of them are usually at the level of following the trend and being liked, but the trend will soon pass.
The value of this album is that the entire RB music industry has been affected for several generations.
Even radiating to the whole world, several of Ymo's albums also had a huge impact.
The entire RB music circle has the biggest impact on the European and American music circles. This album is not the first, but also firmly ranked in the top three.
The young and girls around Lin Le listened to it in a slight way. Among the few people, only Hasegawa Hana, who had liked ymo before, understood most of the content, but Lin Le didn't care whether they really understood it. The electronic music of this era was circulating in the restaurants in the decoration style of the 1970s. Lin Lezi was drinking orange juice while walking around, feeling as if she was in the legendary world of "the future punk of tape".
Then, a male voice rang in his ear: "You said it very well, so have you learned anything in this episode?"
