There are also so-called bad or contempt chains in the Japanese singer circle. Those who do independent music look down on those mainstream music circles that want to compromise with commercial music companies. In the mainstream music circle, jazz despise rock music, rock music despise folk music... As for pop music, of course, it is the lowest end of the contempt chain. If you want to become a musician in Japan, don’t always be addicted to the pop music genre and cannot extricate yourself. If you can make rock music and folk music as popular as pop music, you will be musicians who gain both fame and fortune. So the big guys like X JAPAN, who play bands, are like gods walking on the earth in the Japanese music circle.

Although Lin Junxiu's musical style is classified as "Japanese pop music" by the record show, it can still be heard in the ears of some music critics that Lin Junxiu is trying to add various styles to her music. After Lin Junxiu's fifth single "Alas! Youthful Years / The Flying Bird" was officially released, the music circle suddenly discovered that Lin Junxiu was actually playing folk rock. Although Lin Junxiu's folk rock is still a bit pleasing, the pop style is still very obvious, but it is a folk rock single! The music critics who were originally based on Lin Junxiu's identity as a idol in Johnsoo and disdained to comment on Lin Junxiu, all of them became itchy.

The first thing to blow the rainbow farts to Lin Junxiu is naturally the three-dog legs of the royal family under the Johnnieth Firm - "National Sports", "Sports Japan" and "Weekly Trends". In Japan, newspapers named "Sports" are generally classified as "Sports" newspapers. However, this type of newspaper should be strictly speaking, a sports newspaper, because more than half of the pages of this type of newspaper are reporting news in the entertainment industry. Especially the four nominal "sports newspapers" of "National Sports", "Sports Japan", "Sports Japan" and "Sankei Sports", are actually not much different from paparazzi newspapers. Takuya Kimura takes turns to expose "suspected death" in these four newspapers almost every year, and in the future, there are so many news about him and Shizuka Kudo that even paparazzi think they are real.

However, no matter what, "National Sports" and "Sports Japan" have always had a good relationship with Johnnys, so Koishi Takaki naturally took over the line from these two media outlets from the company. On the one hand, he had a good relationship with reporters on the front line, and on the other hand, he also placed advertisements to the two media outlets in the name of Cyber ​​Bear Company. Therefore, after Lin Junxiu released the single, these media outlets who usually had cooperative relationships naturally took out the rainbow farts blown by their royal literati.

In Japan's pop music circle, there are actually so-called struggles between "local school" and "Western school". The Japanese domestic list and music awards divide the records into two categories: "Bang Music (Japanese Domestic Music)" and "Western Music (Overseas Music)" which means that this struggle has always been very sharp. The local school believes that Japanese pop music originated from Japan's "ballad music", and then gradually absorbed elements of overseas music to develop into the current Japanese pop music. Therefore, local school regards folk music as the authenticity of pop music and protects folk music. Therefore, to this day, Japanese folk music still has a place in the recording industry, and sales are still guaranteed.

Lin Junxiu's new single is folk rock style. Although there is one more rock after folk songs, the local school still believes that Lin Junxiu is returning to authenticity and tolerating the current popularity. Although folk songs have a status in Japan, there are not many singers, especially fewer who can brag about it. Now that Lin Junxiu has turned to the embrace of folk songs, the local school music critics naturally immediately played the snails, hoping to promote Lin Junxiu as the pioneer of contemporary Japanese folk songs.

However, when Lin Junsoo was favored by the local school, he had to be suppressed by the Western school. Looking at the rapid rise of Japanese pop music from the 1970s to the golden age of the 1990s, the first style that became popular in the mainstream pop music circle in Japan was the light soul music brought by Ja 5. However, at this time, due to the global hippie culture and anti-war thinking, there were still a group of musicians in Japan who insisted on self-expression folk music, such as Takuro Yoshida, Yangmi Inoue, Miyu Nakajima, etc. However, when the Rare Music (the saliva song that was popular in early Japan) became popular quickly, folk music was slowly suppressed from the mainstream music circle.

When the rare music makes all Japanese people feel aesthetically exhausted, rock music comes. The era of rock music and bands ushered in the golden age of Japanese pop music. When the golden age is about to end, singers rise with rhythm and blues. Therefore, compared with the folk music that the local school sticks to, the Western school of rock music and rhythm and blues are obviously much more powerful.

In the local and Western styles, Lin Junsoo's singles and Ayumi Hamasaki's singles were pushed to the front stage. After all, one represents folk music and the other represents rhythm and blues, and both of them are best-selling singers. Since that's the case, let's take a look at Lin Junsoo's "Ah! Youthful Years / The Flying Bird" continued to win consecutive championships, and Hamasaki's "A" became popular again.

When the struggle between the two factions reached this point, it scared the Sony Music and Ai Hui Music behind Lin Junshui and Ai Mi. There are generally no deep hatred between singers, and there are few mortal enemies between record companies. Even if your record suppresses my list or sales this time, it doesn't matter. Next time I will do the opposite. However, this kind of musical route battle is not something that singers can get involved. If you accidentally become a victim, you will basically not be able to turn over in the second half of your life. In order to eliminate the worries from outside, Lin Junshui and Ai Mi quickly appeared on a variety show together. The variety show also arranged the two in a group very "concertically". Although the two of them bickered from time to time, they cooperated very well and gave a strong sense of existence of "national siblings".

"Fortunately, Sony Music has taken action, otherwise we will really cause big trouble this time." Koishi Takaki looked at the major newspapers and found that there were much fewer articles on Lin Junshui and Ayumi Hamasaki, and the rest were some local tabloids, which were completely inconsistent in public opinion. "Lin Jun, if you encounter media privately recently, be careful!"

"Don't worry, how could I have the chance to meet media reporters in private?" Lin Junxiu said with a smile.

"There is strict access control at home, so paparazzi and reporters cannot enter; the school has laws and regulations, so paparazzi and reporters dare not enter. The rest is nothing more than when the show is on the road. Aren't you all following me?"

Lin Junxiu actually looked down on the "localist". If it is really as they said, why are folk music all niche music? His own folk rock is not considered authentic folk rock, and even if it is authentic, this folk rock is also a branch of rock music, and local musicians can compile it.

"If it wasn't for the excessive quarrel, it would be nice to let them quarrel." Koshi Takashu put the newspaper aside and began to pick up the itinerary compiled by his assistant and started to study it.

"Although the sales of folk musicians are not that good, the top ones are still capable of winning the championship. What's important is that their influence is great enough, and many music awards are influenced by them. This time they can make them regard you as their own people, which will be helpful for your competition for music awards in the second half of the year. Now your record is no longer short of sales certification, but the awards are still almost blank."

The highest award in the Japanese pop music circle is the Japanese Record Award, and the more important awards are the Japanese Golden Record Award, the JASRAC Award, the All-Japanese Cable Radio Award, and the Japanese Cable TV Award. The more important MTV Japanese Music Cassette Award and the CD Store Award have not yet been born.

Currently, the only music award that Lin Junxiu has ever participated in is the JASRAC Award, but this award is not well-known. It was awarded by the Japan Music Copyright Association and aims at the music with the highest copyright fee every year, but the recipient is a record company. For example, Lin Junxiu won the annual silver award for his baseball order, and the song was Lin Junxiu's song, but the trophy was sent to Sony Music.

However, behind these awards are the shadow of chaebol operations, so it is not that your record can win the award if it sells well. Simply put, why does Japan alone have two awards in the field of cable TV? The reason is very simple. The Japan Cable TV Award is sponsored by the All-Japanese Cable Music Broadcasting Association, and the main leader is TBS TV Station, which is behind them. The All-Japanese Cable Radio Award is an award for cooperation between Fuji TV and a member of the non-Japanese Cable Music Broadcasting Association, and behind it is Yomiuri News Agency.

Therefore, Lin Junxiu is not qualified to dominate his award at present. However, if she can get the support of folk singers, Lin Junxiu's chances of winning the award will be much higher. Furthermore, Lin Junxiu has been closer to TBS TV recently, and in addition to the Japanese cable TV awards, TBS TV is also responsible for the Japanese record awards.

"Xiao Shijun, see if there are any relevant channels in the firm. Let's try to lobby?" Lin Junxiu became interested.

"Mr. Lin, I'm just kidding you about the award. Are you taking it seriously?" Xiaoshi Takashu said with a smile.

In Xiaoshi Xiaoshu's opinion, Lin Junxiu is too mature and lacks the aura of young people. But when it comes to winning the award, Lin Junxiu shows that young people prefer vanity.

"The firm's policy is to refuse to participate in the competition awards, because the firm's policy is to 'the artists do not distinguish between good and bad'. Therefore, in addition to purely ranking awards such as the credibility list, other Japanese record awards and Japanese Golden Record Awards are absolutely not included in the award awards that use first to select candidates and then to choose winners. But Lin Jun, can you try to let the firm make an exception to you?"

"Forget it, I won't try it." Lin Junxiu replied depressedly, thinking that he had forgotten this.

If you make an exception to receive the award, then fans of SMAP and other groups will probably pinch themselves away. After all, their idols are not allowed to win the award, but they can win the award. This is completely a target. Moreover, the grudges between the Johnniez firm and the Japanese Record Awards are really... Back then, Masahiko Kondo won the award through some means, and she ignored the abandonment of his mother's ashes instead of attending the award ceremony. As a result, the Kondo scum not only criticized himself, but also criticized the Japanese Record Award. Although this award is nominally the highest-level pop music award in Japan, it is far inferior to the Japanese Golden Record Award in the hearts of the audience. After MTV introduced its VMA award to Japan, the pop music awards in the hearts of the Japanese were the Golden Record Award and VMAJ.
