One person's entertainment

Chapter 148: Popularity Begins

Yanjing, airport.

"I thought you had forgotten." Huo Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw Shen Lingyou.

"How could that be possible?" Shen Lingyou said guiltily.

"I brought you two sets of clothes this time, one suit and one Zhongshan suit. It's up to you to choose which one." Huo Wenxi arranged everything carefully.

I wore the Zhongshan suit because one of the three songs he sang was "Yellow Man", and I thought he might need it.

"The one who knows me best is Sister Xi. No need to choose, just wear a Zhongshan suit." Shen Lingyou said with a smile.

Seeing that there was still some time before boarding, he went to eat a bowl of noodles as he was very hungry.

It takes three and a half hours to fly directly from Yanjing to Tokyo.

The "1998 Asian Superstar Tokyo Concert" was hosted by Japan's NHK, the Japan Broadcasting Association, and invited superstar representatives from all over Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places.

Most of the singers promoted by China are from Hong Kong, after all, they are initiated by several major record companies in Hong Kong. They include Wang Jingfei, Mo Wenwei, Zheng Zhongji, etc. The mainland ones are Shen Lingyou and Zhu Zheqin, and there is only Zhang Huimei from Formosa Province.

After arriving at the hotel, Shen Lingyou made a long distance call to Jiang Qinqin and they stayed together for a while.

This is what young lovers who have just broken through that layer of paper are like. They want to be together every moment.

He left the room and knocked on Huo Wenxi's door next door.

"Sister Fei arrived this morning and asked you to have dinner with her." Huo Wenxi said when he opened the door.

"Then let's go." Shen Lingyou nodded.

The two came to the hotel restaurant, asked the waiter for the location, and found Wang Jingfei and her agent.

"Lingyou, you can speak Japanese, so please order the food." Wang Jingfei handed the menu to Shen Lingyou.

"No problem, I'll do it." Shen Lingyou took a quick look at the menu and asked them if they liked any Japanese food. After getting the answer, he told the waiter a few dishes.

"Do you have any plans for later?" Wang Jingfei asked.

"Is that so, Sister Xi?" Shen Lingyou looked at Huo Wenxi.

"No." Huo Wenxi shook his head.

"Then let's go see the night view of Tokyo?" Wang Jingfei suggested.

"Sure." Shen Lingyou felt that since he was already here, he couldn't stay in the hotel forever.

Although 1990~2000 was affected by the economic crisis and became Japan's lost decade.

However, Tokyo achieved glory before the economic bubble burst, and its prosperity is still second to none in Asia.

However, for a person who traveled from the Earth in 2024, this prosperity can no longer be called prosperity.

After walking around the streets near the hotel, they went back because of the cold wind.

In the room, the bored Wang Jingfei started a game. There were exactly four of them, so they could play mahjong at a table.

This was the first time Shen Lingyou played mahjong after traveling through time, but he had played with Liu Huohua and others before.

I don’t know if it was a gift package for beginners, but he won several games in a row, which made Wang Jingfei very anxious.

The result is predictable. They fought until almost dawn. If Wang Jingfei hadn't had to go to rehearsal in the afternoon, she would have kept them fighting.

After waking up from a nap and having a simple lunch, the group set off for the Tokyo Budokan.

This venue is a medium-sized one that can accommodate nearly 10,000 spectators.

Before the Tokyo Dome was completed in 1988, the Tokyo Budokan had dominated the market for twenty years and firmly occupied the memory of a generation. Even now, it is still the supreme status symbol in the Japanese music performance industry. If we have to make a metaphor, it is similar to the Workers' Stadium to Yanjing and the Hong Kong Coliseum to Hong Kong.

Backstage, Shen Lingyou and his group met with representatives of other Chinese singers.

I don’t know most of the singers from other regions.

There were a few young Korean singers who looked familiar to me. After asking, I found out that they were HOT. This group was founded in 1996 and is the first real boy group in Korean history.

Although they are called Asian superstars, famous Japanese singers like Miyuki Nakajima, Haruhisa Tani, and Koji Tamaki did not come. This is because the main sponsors are several major record companies in Hong Kong. In order to ensure that Hong Kong singers are not overshadowed, singers from other regions are not selected from the top batch.

The rehearsal went very smoothly.

Shen Lingyou's three songs are "Yellow Man", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "See You in Your Dreams".

Wang Jingfei also sang three songs, namely "Red Bean", "Bored" and "I'm Willing".

Zhang Huimei's two songs are "Standing on the High Hill" and "Listening to the Sea".

The concert started at dusk the next day.

Outside the venue, many fans of singers from various countries gathered.

Among them, the most popular is Wang Jingfei, followed by Shen Lingyou.

At 6:30 pm, their car arrived.

Wang Jingfei continued her unique, exaggerated and novel style on the stage. Today she wore a beige tube top dress with a pair of small black angel wings hanging on the back.

Shen Lingyou is wearing a fashionable Zhongshan suit, which suits him very well. His handsomeness is not suppressed even under this formal suit, but rather becomes more refined.

"Wang Jingfei!"

"Shen Lingyou!"

As soon as I got off the car, screams started.

I thought they were all Chinese people in Tokyo, but when I heard their poor Mandarin, I realized there were a lot of local fans as well.

Especially for Shen Lingyou, many female fans held up support signs with words "like" and "love" written in Japanese.

Just kidding, the sales of over 50 copies of that Japanese album are not exaggerated at all.

Shen Lingyou smiled, waved to the fans, and signed some autographs. Good interaction is a must.

Wang Jingfei seemed a little more aloof. She just smiled and waved, and entered the venue in a short while.

Soon, the concert began.

The organizer arranged for Shen Lingyou to be the finale and Wang Jingfei to be the centerpiece, and for them to finish the performance.

When Shen Lingyou took the stage, it was obvious that the atmosphere was more exciting than that of all the previous singers.

When they sang the third song "夢をみる見る (Dream)", the atmosphere became even more lively.

Japanese fans screamed and shouted like crazy.

Moreover, when the camera turned, someone discovered that there was a big shot in the front row of the audience, and it was Miyuki Nakajima.

She sang along throughout the song.

It can be seen that her admiration for Shen Lingyou is not just talk.

And Wang Jingfei, who was the last to take the stage, was even more popular than Shen Lingyou.

The queen's years of accumulation are reflected here.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to control the situation.

As soon as the third song "Red Bean" ended, all the singers immediately followed the accompaniment and surrounded Wang Jingfei like stars surrounding the moon to take their bows. There was no doubt that she was the undisputed C position of this concert.

Of course, Shen Lingyou was not bad either and was arranged to sit next to her.

Such a scene made the two of them feel that holding a solo concert in Tokyo would not be a big deal.

When the show was over and they went backstage, Huo Wenxi brought a piece of news: someone had invited them to dinner again.

Who is it? Miyuki Nakajima.
