Chapter 342 I Kill Myself?
Kondo Yuina repeatedly refreshed the page several times.
After confirming that the background data was correct.
Then, with a clang, as if she had lost her strength, she sat down on the office chair in a daze.
Her big brown eyes stared at the particularly eye-catching background data, and she was a little skeptical about life.
This.
Are we. popular?
Success?
This success was so sudden that she was caught off guard.
You know, they spent a budget to customize the MV and purchased advertising space for promotion. They worked hard, but the best result they got was only 10,000 downloads of "Hello, This is Bear" and 270,000 cumulative reproductions in one year.
And what about Kita Sumire?
They didn't have to work hard to operate it, and they didn't have to promote it in various ways. At most, they just promoted it under major official accounts.
They achieved such a terrifying result.
This of course made Kondo Yuina doubt her life.
100,000 downloads, 430,000 reproductions
After all, this kind of result is not to mention being a child actor.
Even some singers who have been famous for a long time find it difficult to do it in two days.
Downloads, or DLs, can be considered as the sales of a single on a music app platform.
Replays, or playbacks, are used a lot in various videos, but they are also classified and calculated here.
What are the concepts of 100,000 downloads and 430,000 playbacks?
Digital albums with more than 10,000 downloads are considered popular in Japan's O chart (Oricon chart). As long as there are not too many downloads in the front this week, they can be ranked in the top of the Oricon chart this week.
Even with a little luck, they can get the first place.
Digital albums with downloads between 200,000 and 300,000 in a week are called hot hits.
There are people who reach this data, but they are very few.
They are basically well-known big names (big-name singers) or famous idol boy and girl groups.
For example, the first place on the Oricon chart this week is a song by an idol boy group called Green Apple Boys.
The downloads are about 130,000 times, and the playbacks are also quite terrifying, with a full 290,000 playbacks.
I have heard of this idol boy group Kondo Yuina. It is a very famous beautiful boy group. The main feature is their outstanding appearance, and the quality of the songs they produce is also pretty good.
Basically, every time a new song is released, they can dominate the Oricon chart for several weeks.
And right after the Green Apple male idol boy group.
The second place on the Oricon chart this week is a middle-aged singer named Sakaki Teruo.
This is even more heavyweight. He was one of the top ten male singers in Japan last year. He is 41 years old this year. He is famous for his solid singing skills and is also a very famous singer in the Japanese music circle.
His song downloads are about 120,000 times, and the number of reproductions is 310,000.
And Kita Sumimi's "Tonight's Moonlight is Really Beautiful" is temporarily ranked third at this time.
Even Kondo Yuina couldn't help but sigh that Kita Sumimi's luck is really bad.
If it were normal, the first week of release would reach 100,000 downloads and 430,000 reproductions in two days.
This result is enough to make Kitasumi stay on the Oricon chart for eight or nine weeks.
In other words, he was unlucky, clashing with idol boy bands and talented singers.
However,
"This result is also exaggerated."
Kondo Yuina felt that she was asking too much.
This is Kitasumi's first digital single album.
As a sub-actor, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can achieve such a result without much publicity.
The single they have been working hard on for a year has only 10,000 downloads, which is nothing compared to Kitasumi.
Besides, this is just the beginning.
Who knows if Kitasumi can rise to prominence later?
This sub-actor may really be able to do it!
After all, the first single can achieve such a result! He is born to sing!
The number of reproductions of 430,000 is enough to show that Kitasumi's audience stickiness is very strong!
Thinking of this, Kondo Yuina did not hesitate too much and contacted Kitasumi's agent, Koji Tamura.
Koji Tamura was originally discussing matters related to Kitasumi outside.
After hearing the good news, he called Kita Sumire without any hesitation.
"10 downloads? 430,000 reproductions? Third place in the Oricon Weekly Chart?"
When the voice of Tamura Koji's report came from the phone, Kita Sumire subconsciously put down the script of "The Reason I'm Here" in his hand.
It's not that he was dissatisfied, but he was curious about who was ahead of him.
You know, he has been in prison for a long time, and he has completely mastered the singing skills of the national singer, and he also used his daughter's famous work.
Whether it is singing or songs, he has done the best he can.
Even so, he is only third.
What kind of monsters are the two in front?
Fortunately, Tamura Koji on the other side did not keep it a secret, and told Kita Sumire about the Green Apple Boys Idol Boy Band and the famous old singer Sakaki Teruo.
"Well-known old singer, so that's it."
Kita Sumire suddenly realized.
Well-known singers like Teruo Sakaki have many loyal listeners, and with his own strong ability, it is normal for him to be ranked third.
As for why Kita Sumire didn't mention the first place Green Apple male idol boy band?
This is not because Kita Sumire discriminates against idol boy bands.
It's just that the performance of Japanese idol groups is quite watered down.
Some fanatical fans are even willing to spend millions or even tens of millions of yen to buy albums to cheer for their favorite idol boy and girl groups.
Do these album sales results not count?
Of course they do.
Others paid real money to buy their albums, so why don’t they count?
But do you want to ask if these results are fake? Of course they are fake.
This is a fact that has been agreed upon in the industry, but no one will talk about it openly.
Of course, it is also due to this unfair competition.
Many Japanese orthodox singers look down on idols, thinking that they ‘sing and dance, win with their looks, but their singing ability is very poor, and they are not real singers at all.’
But it is precisely this group of idols who are not real singers, but can rely on the power of their die-hard fans to repeatedly crush them in album and CD sales.
This makes them even more angry.
This is also one of the reasons why idol groups are at the bottom of the food chain in the industry.
Everyone thinks that idol groups cannot be on the table or on the stage.
As a sub-singer, Kita Chengshi had no ill will towards idol groups.
After all, their business scope was different.
He just clicked on the number one single of the idol boy group called Green Apple Boys with some curiosity.
Then
Kita Chengshi was silent.
How to say it
The song and lyrics were generally decent, belonging to the upper-middle level.
But the problem was that the singing was too harsh, right?
With his eyebrows furrowed, Kita Chengshi touched his head, a little confused.
He could have heard it.
The post-production tuning should have been done with all their strength.
But even so.
Kita Chengshi, who had undergone systematic training, still heard that two or three of them were a little out of tune.
Sometimes they couldn't even sing the lyrics clearly, as if they had something in their mouths.
Fortunately, the million-dollar tuners behind them were quite powerful, covering up these defects and saving them.
Ordinary listeners probably wouldn't find any problems when listening to it. One boy group member finished singing a sentence, and another boy group member took over. They might even think that this song was quite exciting.
But in Kita Chengshi's ears, it was really a bit unbearable.
How could this be the first on the Oricon chart?
Kita Chengshi finally understood why those orthodox singers in Japan were so opposed to male and female groups being on the list.
This singing skill is at most the kind of ordinary people who sing well in KTV.
Even if Kita Chengshi had no training and was only at an average level, he was confident that he could sing better than them.
To make an inappropriate analogy.
The Green Apple Boys Idol Group is very similar to the group of young actors with bad acting skills that Kita Chengshi saw in China in his previous life, who only relied on their looks and fan circles to make a living.
Here, the Green Apple Boys Idol Group has the most downloads of 130,000, but the number of replays is only 290,000, which is the least among the top three. The problem can be seen from the fact that the Green Apple Boys Idol Group has the most downloads of 130,000, but the number of replays is only 290,000, which is the least among the top three. It is estimated that many of the 130,000 downloads were paid for by fans.
". If this is the case, then there is no reason why "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful Tonight" will lose."
After turning off the Green Apple Boys Idol Group's songs, Kita Chengshi gained confidence.
Today is only the third day of this week, and there are still four days left, so we can still observe.
It may be a bit difficult to surpass the Green Apple Boys Idol Group, after all, the other party’s fan base is there.
As long as they see that the idol group they support is about to lose, they will probably use their money power to keep the Green Apple Boys’ weekly ranking first.
But it shouldn’t be a big problem to surpass Sakaki Teruo, after all, the gap between him and Sakaki Teruo is not too big now.
The other party is also a singer who is very martial. It is rare to see him actively encourage fans to "vote for himself".
Thinking of this, Kita Sumire was not in a hurry and picked up the script to continue memorizing.
There are still two weeks.
He must remember all the lines of "Lu Zhiyuan" and practice some scenarios.
There are things to do during this period, so of course he can't keep staring at the Oricon chart.
Two more days passed like this.
When Kita Sumire and Tamura Koji looked back, they were shocked to find that "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful Tonight" was popular.
It was really popular.
Although Kita Sumire was ranked third on the Oricon chart before.
But that was only very popular among Kita Sumire's fan group.
There were few discussions outside.
Most of the voices focused on this week's Green Apple Man and Teruo Sakaki.
This is also natural.
After all, Kita Sumire is a pure newcomer in the music circle.
It is normal that there is no eye-catching idol boy group or famous male singer.
But I don't know what happened in the past two days.
Kita Sumire's "Tonight's Moonlight is Really Beautiful" suddenly appeared on major music forums, and because of Kita Sumire's ethereal and clear voice and quiet and distant songs, it caused a lot of discussion.
Even the Nichi-Chao TV station discussed "Tonight's Moonlight is Really Beautiful" in its own music program "Music Station".
This can be said to be a sudden explosion of heat!
"Tonight's Moonlight is Really Beautiful" was originally in third place.
But in the past two days, the number of downloads and reproductions have made new breakthroughs, reaching 200,000 downloads, and is about to surpass Teruo Sakaki, who has 210,000 downloads, to become the second place.
This sudden rise in popularity is undoubtedly a great help to Kita Chengshi.
It only took 50,000 downloads today for him to reach 250,000, easily surpassing Teruo Sakaki in front of him, and even seeing the 290,000 downloads of the Green Apple Boys Idol Group.
What on earth is going on?
Kita Sumire and Tamura Koji were speechless.
The popularity could not be blown by the wind, especially when it suddenly became popular overnight.
When Kita Sumire and Tamura Koji investigated the matter carefully.
They were surprised to find that it was Teruo Sakaki, Kita Sumire's competitor, who took the initiative to mention "The Moon Is Beautiful Tonight" when he was interviewed by a music magazine and praised it highly.
This was used as a fuse.
"The Moon Is Beautiful Tonight", which was of high quality and had accumulated a lot of discussion, suddenly became popular in the past two days.
Not only did it squeeze Teruo Sakaki and the Green Apple Boys Idol Group out, it even had the momentum to occupy a place in the Japanese pop music area.
However, Kita Sumire and Tamura Koji found it hard to understand Sakaki Teruo's confusing behavior.
Actively promoting a competitor's work?
What does this mean?
I kill myself?
Okay! Good night, everyone!
