Chapter 31 The Great Gods That Pinklady Faces
"sexy music", which is "A Fire in Winter", sounded in the Tokyo studio in the winter of 1979.
The English pronunciation of the hard-concave rb people is definitely not as good as the original singer, but Lin Le has tried his best to do the best in other parts of the song.
The style is very different from the current RB music, and even from the electronic music of Ymo and others. Tsukimi Kyohei grabbed his chin and thoughtfully.
Yasuji Ma Nagano asked in surprise: "How did you think of this melody?! This...is this Disco music? It is indeed easy to become popular with the current route of pinklady."
Others even said, "Yes, can you write this kind of 'sexy music' at the age of 17? How did you think of these melodies without a teacher at all?"
Lin Le was about to explain, but Tsukimi Kyohei said, "I have some guesses about this."
"Oh?" Everyone looked at him one after another.
"I checked before, the place in Ina City... is a very special place." Tsukimi Kyohira said.
"special?"
"Yes, it is the closest... US military base to Tokyo."
There was silence on the scene.
If you really want to analyze the deep psychology of RB people, ask them if they like the US military. I am afraid no one likes it. Who would like the existence of being like a mighty and majestic emperor?
But what if you don’t like it? What if you can attack Pearl Harbor again?
Not only can we bear it, but we can't say it even if we are unhappy. At least the public figures and the government must not say it. As for the protests of the common people, it will not affect any aspect, so let them call.
I felt disgusted, but I have to admit that the existence of the US military has indeed brought a huge impact on the RB people.
The so-called Japanese electronic music has a saying that RB musicians were influenced by the US military.
This statement seems unlikely to Lin Le. In the 1970s, RB has already had a lot of relationships with the world, and his entertainment industry is quite prosperous. There are not many European and American people in the circle. Will the generation that grew up in this environment really be affected so much?
To talk about Lin Le's view, the formation of Japanese electronic music is closely related to those pioneers, and the reason why those pioneers can write those music is closely related to their family background and their experience.
For example, since the 1970s and 1980s, among the people who have led an era of aesthetics and entertainment trends, there is a very special group. Unlike other people, this group of people has a large family. It seems that such geniuses are easy to produce in that group, Wang Shuo, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Ma Weidu, Cui Jian... There is no US military base in China. Why can this group of people get up? In addition to their ability, there is another reason because they are all children from the big courtyard.
Because of this identity, they can get in touch with advanced foreign art and culture more and earlier than ordinary bosses, think earlier and more, and accordingly, it will be easier to achieve results.
RB is actually similar. Take the most famous ymo, which is almost the leader, for example.
Hoshino Haromon's grandfather was the deputy counselor of the RB Railway Court, equivalent to the current technical counselor of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Transportation. The only RB passenger (or survivor) of the Titanic, Hoshino main text, is the lecturer at the National University of Music and piano tuner.
Sakamoto Ryuichi's father, Sakamoto Ichiko, works in Kawato's study and served as editor of Yukio Mishima, Takahashi Kawai and others. His grandfather is the chairman of the insurance company and also serves as the president of East Asia domestic aviation. Sakamoto Ryuichi's kindergarten is located in Setagaya District. It is an aristocratic kindergarten where all employees have to learn piano...
Of course, they are also geniuses, but the music education of this kind of elite education from childhood to adulthood is definitely closely related to their achievements. They do not need to go to the bar next to the US military base to receive foreign music influence.
But this is just Lin Le’s own opinion. The reality is that not only ordinary people are influenced by this opinion, but even top musicians like Tsukimi Kyohei and others are still inevitably thinking in a similar direction when encountering similar situations.
For example, Lin Le's situation.
Daocheng No. 5 Middle School is only a small hill away from the US military base. Of course, Lin Le himself knows nothing about any US military base. However, for such a thing, others help him to add something to the settings. Lin Le is of course very welcomed, so he looked humble and did not refute it. Instead, he nodded thoughtfully, as if he had an explanation for his musical talent.
With the endorsement of Tsuki Mikyohei, under such a seemingly normal explanation, Lin Le's talent seems to become more acceptable.
The recording of the song that day was completed at around 4 pm. Although it only took one day, Kawaka Naboko's recording effect was quite good and it was impossible to be bad, because not only Lin Le, Tsumi Kyohei and Ma Nagano Yasuji were there, it was equivalent to recording by three top musicians who caught her alone. Even if the effect was not bad, it would not pass through the ears of any of the three.
Then that night, pinklady and the other two also appeared on the stage of "thebestten".
Pinklady is no longer very popular, but there is still a way to play top-notch songs like "thebestten", but the decline of their slump is that they can no longer have special links in the anime, and even the host's interview seems much perfunctory. As a single that just released, it only appeared in a special "spotlight" session.
The musicians present and the TV station staff were not very clear about the effect of the pure English singing and dancing.
People are here and singing, but can they become famous? In the eyes of many people, it is unlikely.
Pinklady has passed its popularity, and the people's "interest" in them is already very low.
People's interests are a very subtle and important thing. Some people have some combinations. They may have become more popular than they are now, but if they really don't wear any tinted glasses, their current strength may be stronger than when they became popular, but they just don't become popular.
In this case, unless he releases a work with absolute influence, he is not afraid of the public's concern and directly focuses on the song, otherwise he will basically be unable to become famous by relying on his personal charm.
Can this new single be done? The song is very good. When the live performance was performed, in just a few dozen seconds, the audience started to twist and twist with the two girls. The host even danced happily. The whole scene felt particularly happy, but the live performance was the scene, and the key was whether the people accepted it.
Then, with the release of the single, Lin Le made suggestions, and the promotional plan that T&C had planned for several months also began.
The content is very simple. The entire T&C agents almost all came out and poured into the Disco dance halls all over Tokyo in the afternoon. What they were holding were pinklady's records and promotional posters. Of course, free trials were impossible. RB had strict requirements on this aspect, and it was not free. Even T&C could not control how much it cost. What T&C could do was just to promote the songs. I hope the dance hall could be used more, and I promised that if we used it more, we pinklady would just perform.
The idol business is not often associated with dance halls, so this time, the top idols like pinklady are willing to perform. The major dance halls were also quite surprised and said that they would use this song more. As for whether idols came to the dance hall to perform, the combination that was about to die was qualified to consider so many things? If Lin Le had not intervened and went through next year, the new cover of pinklady would have to use that kind of lens to be stuck on the shoulders, which looks like they were not wearing clothes. Now, what else can I care about when I came to the dance hall to perform?
They were originally taking the sexy and high-profile route.
When Lin Le handed this song to T&C, he said that it would not be a sales volume if it is popular.
Facts prove this.
In the first week of single sales, the champion of "thebestten" was Gorimi's "マイレディー" (my dream), and the champion of oricon was Kubota Saki's "The Exotic". This song "The Exotic" was the biggest winner of the exotic trend in the RB music circle in the late 1970s and was a super masterpiece.
Kubota Saki released this debut list on October 1st, which was launched as a cm song of Sanyo Electric. It was not very popular when it was first launched in October. It only had 5 places when it appeared on "Thebestten" last week. However, because of this performance, this song attracted the attention of the RB society. On December 25th, the sales of this song exceeded one million. On December 27th, the song finally got one place, and the final sales record was 1.444 million.
It can be said that this is a work that Zhang did not receive much attention at the beginning, but eventually stood out because of his excellent quality.
Pinklady seems a bit unfortunate when she bumped into this song, but in fact there is nothing to complain about. This is an era of great masters and frequent miracles. The sales of "The Others" was the oricon champion for seven consecutive weeks. It was within her rule throughout the year from the end of 1979 to the beginning of 1980. The winner of this song was Crystalking's "Metropolis", followed by Takeda Tetsuya, and the theme song "Mr. Kim Hachi" led by the Hai Ao team, and then "Masao Suzuki's band" "Who can you beat this lineup?
