Chapter 653 Karaoke!

In 1980, the per capita income of the Japanese exceeded 10,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to a monthly salary of about 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. If it is in the commercial district of Tokyo, the per capita income may be higher.

The luxury goods here in Ginza, Tokyo are originally aimed at the high-income class in the Japanese, as well as wealthy tourists from all over the world.

Nowadays, when Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, and Lin Xiuzhi are shopping in there, they are really shocked to see the prices of those luxury goods logos. They are much higher than they imagined, and even higher than Lin Xiuzhi imagined.

Now Lin Xiuzhi is Yang Ming's secretary. It stands to reason that her monthly salary is not low. However, when she sees the luxury goods in those boutiques, she still feels a little extravagant.

"Why don't you buy it?"

Yang Ming asked.

"Boss, the things here are really more expensive than those in Hong Kong." Lin Xiuzhi whispered.

Yang Ming thinks it is normal.

"It's normal to be expensive. The shop rent here is too high. You can go buy it."

. . .

Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, and Lin Xiuzhi still bought some clothes they liked. Except for Guan Jiahui, the other three women did not dare to buy too much.

In addition, Yang Ming asked Ah Zhu to pick some suitable gifts for Deng Liyun, Sarah, Diana, and even his mother, so that they could take them back when they returned to Hong Kong.

A morning later.

Ah Zhu and others were shopping.

Yang Ming was looking at Tokyo Ginza and thinking about his own Tokyo Ginza in Hong Kong.

At noon.

Yang Ming and others had lunch at a Western restaurant in Tokyo Ginza.

Yang Ming found that the Western restaurant here was not cheap. The per capita consumption, although mainly imported seafood, was almost equivalent to half a month's salary for many ordinary people.

After lunch.

Still in Tokyo Ginza in the afternoon.

As time passed.

Now Ah Zhu and others had more and more things in their hands, Yang Ming could only ask people to send these things back to the Setagaya Villa first.

He was still waiting for the night of Tokyo Ginza to come here.

It was 19:00 in the evening of Tokyo time.

The night of Tokyo has come.

When the neon lights of Tokyo Ginza lit up, Yang Ming felt that Tokyo Ginza at night really changed its color.

In addition to the appearance of more and more young men and women dressed up.

It seemed that there were many more people in Tokyo Ginza all of a sudden.

Many people passed through the streets of Tokyo Ginza.

Chen Zhenhua, Zhang Guohua and others looked around vigilantly, mainly to protect the safety of the boss.

"Xu Qingsheng, there are really many more people in Tokyo Ginza."

"Boss, now those people come out to enjoy life after get off work."

The so-called enjoyment of life.

It means the employees of major Japanese companies, including the main executives with good income.

After get off work, they will not go home to accompany their families immediately, but come out with colleagues to party, drink and sing.

There are many restaurants, snack bars, bars and nightclubs in the back streets of Tokyo Ginza Avenue.

At this time, it is the beginning of consumption in those bars and nightclubs in Tokyo Ginza.

Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong has also been made into a world-famous tourist attraction by Yang Ming, but now Tokyo Ginza is different.

"Master, do you listen?"

Azhu was a little excited when she heard the song.

Because it was not sung by other voices, but by Teresa Teng.

Although Teresa Teng has gone to Hong Kong to develop, she has been very successful in Japan in the past few years and has won the love of many fans.

Although Teresa Teng has gone to Hong Kong, her new album is also very popular in Japan.

In addition to the Chinese version, there is also a Japanese version.

What Azhu and others are hearing now is actually the Japanese version of "I Only Care About You".

It is obvious that this song is very popular with many Japanese people.

Now, the night is coming.

These bars and nightclubs in Ginza, Tokyo, especially like to play Teresa Teng's songs that are very relaxing, but make people hear a kind of inexplicable emotion.

In addition to Teresa Teng's previous "The Moon Represents My Heart", there are also Japanese versions of songs such as "I Only Care About You" and "I Just Like You".

The Japanese version of the song and lyrics are a little different, but these Japanese people like it very much.

Yang Ming has already heard that it is indeed a song by Teresa Teng.

Yang Ming is not curious at all.

Historically, even after 30 or 40 years, when Teresa Teng is no longer around, many nightclubs in Japan still popularize the songs left by Teresa Teng.

Songs like "Lovers", "Let Time Pass By", "Premonition of Separation", etc., often appear in major nightclubs in Japan.

Xu Qingsheng may have known the relationship between Yang Ming and Teresa Teng, so he dare not say much.

It can only be said that now that Teresa Teng has left the Japanese music scene, Teresa Teng's songs are even more popular in Japan.

In this regard, as a Chinese singer, it is indeed very rare.

"Boss, do you know karaoke?"

Karaoke?

Isn't it just singing K?

Yang Ming knows that karaoke is only popular in Japan now, and it has not yet been introduced or popular in places like Taiwan and even Hong Kong.

Due to Japanese customs, if a man returns home too early, his neighbors will look down on him, thinking that he works too hard every day and does not even have time for social activities. Returning home too early every day becomes a laughing stock, so many Japanese men gather in bars or teahouses after get off work and chat until very late before returning home.

Later, they gradually thought that they should find something new to kill time, so they used simple things such as TV microphones to sing while drinking in the bar. Later, with the development of technology, it evolved into today's karaoke, which was later introduced to Taiwan, and then from Taiwan to China, and the later karaoke scene was formed.

The original meaning of karaoke in Japanese is "unaccompanied band". In the 1960s, when Mr. Daisuke Inoue was a drummer in a salon band in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, he invented the backing vocal track and portable microphone.

In less than three years, karaoke became popular, and major companies plagiarized Inoue's ideas and launched their own models.

By the time someone suggested that he apply for a patent, it was too late.

This concept existed as early as 1971 before Inoue invented the 8-Juke (eight-track jukebox), which was a red and white wooden box equipped with a microphone, amplifier and eight-track cassette player, and the dashboard was labeled in English to look "fashionable".

Inoue used this prototype karaoke as drum accompaniment for a singer-less band, and played it in the salon when customers who wanted to sing requested songs.

Later, he thought that he could use the machine to achieve the function of accompaniment.

In 1978, after the advent of laser discs, this equipment was all digital circuits, so its audio and video signals were greatly improved compared to tape recorders and video recorders.

The characteristics of video disc players and video discs are wide frequency response, low noise, and low distortion, which makes audio and video reach professional level.

When Yang Ming heard about the current karaoke, he suddenly thought of the video disc player.
