Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 164 Japanese Music Show (Monthly Ticket Extra )

At noon on the 5th, several members of Fahrenheit landed in Japan.

Compared to when he was in the Chinese-speaking regions, he was warmly welcomed by fans in every city he went to.

Fahrenheit seems to be unknown in Japan.

Their first album was also released here, with total sales of only 3,500 copies, not even a fraction of what it sold in the Chinese-speaking regions.

There were no fans to greet him at the airport, and no reporters to welcome him for interviews.

“I’m not used to it!”

At the airport gate, Calvin Chen glanced at the crowds of people coming and going around him. Not seeing a single fan, he complained with some discomfort:

"We will conquer this place sooner or later, don't you think, Huo Zhuo?"

It was a rare occasion for Wu Zhuo to take off his attire and not hide himself at all, as he was stretching his body.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but reply, "How do you want to conquer, with your big gun?"

Hearing this, Calvin Chen blushed, "Don't be so stupid."

He was caught watching porn last night by Wu Chao.

In order to quibble, he said, "We are going to Japan! I will do some research."

"Stop talking nonsense and go to the hotel first. I have an appointment with someone from Avex Records later."

Chen Huiying pretended not to hear what the members said and took the lead to walk out of the airport.

Huayan Records does not have the distribution capabilities in Japan, so the Japanese distribution rights of "Double-Sided Fahrenheit" were given to Sony Records.

This also includes the operation of Fahrenheit's activities in Japan, which are all handled by Sony.

The reason why we were able to appear on "MUSIC STATION" this time was because of Sony's contact.

"Honestly, Huozhuo, do you think we can really make a name for ourselves in Japan?"

As he walked out, Calvin Chen trotted over to Wu Chao and asked.

“How would I know? It all depends on whether Japanese fans can accept our songs.

But I don’t think it’s a big problem, I’m confident in my songs.”

Wu Chao didn’t know anything else, but he knew that “sorrysorry” seemed to have achieved good results in Japan.

SUPER JUNIOR is also very popular in Japan.

If they can do it, there's no reason why I and others can't do it.

Let’s talk about marketing issues.

Fahrenheit's current marketing operations are handled by the Japanese giant Sony.

There is no reason why they would be inferior to SUPER JUNIOR in marketing operations.

Speaking of SUPER JUNIOR, this group has also become popular in Asia this year.

Last year, their song "u" was released in Asia and topped the Japanese and Korean song charts in Taiwan for more than a dozen weeks.

One thing needs to be said here.

Taiwan’s Rose Popular Music Chart and other charts have set up special Japanese and Korean charts.

Japanese and Korean songs can be included in the charts after being released in Taiwan.

Even the major TV stations in Taiwan have TV channels produced in cooperation with Japanese and Korean TV stations that broadcast Japanese and Korean programs.

Take the music show "MUSIC STATION" that Fahrenheit will be performing on, for example. This music program can be watched in Taiwan.

Of course, it can also be seen in Hong Kong and the mainland.

Hong Kong at Animax - Taiwan.

In mainland China, it is broadcast on CCTV-Fengyun Music (a high-definition digital pay channel).

"I don't care. We are already so popular in China, so it doesn't matter whether we are popular in Japan or South Korea."

Wu Zun is somewhat Buddhist.

"I think it would be great if it became popular in Japan and South Korea. It would be a happy thing to earn money from these foreigners."

Wang Dongcheng’s words made Wu Zhuo couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

"It's the same as what I think. If we can become popular in Japan and South Korea, we can earn a lot of foreign exchange from these places every year."...

At noon on the 8th, Fahrenheit and its members officially participated in the "MUSIC STATION" produced by Japan's TV Asahi.

This program has many famous units, such as "Music Mini Station", "Singles Sales Chart", "Album Sales Chart", "Young Guns" and so on.

The units that Fahrenheit attended were "Music Mini Station" and "Young Guns".

Among them, "Music Mini Station" is an interview before the show starts, talking about some of the guests who will perform, and sometimes interviewing people from their hometown about their evaluation of the singer.

"Young Guns" is abbreviated as YG.

It began airing on the 2005th episode on February 2, 18, and has been aired irregularly since then.

This unit will invite new singers or bands who have been active recently to participate.

Fahrenheit is one of the more active groups in recent times.

They will sing the Japanese version of "Sorry, Sorry" on this show.

“Hello, Shichika! I’m glad to see the four of Fahrenheit here.

I've been paying attention to the Chinese music scene recently, and several of them have been really popular recently.

My friends in China all say that you are the hottest singers recently."

The first program to be conducted was "Music Mini Station", and the host of the interview was Kazuyoshi Morita, also known as Tamori.

“I’ve also been following your new song, the song “Sorry, Sorry” is very catchy, and I heard that you guys are also singing this song on stage this time.

Is it the Chinese version?

Among the four members of Fahrenheit, Wu Chao is better at Japanese, so he is responsible for communicating with the host.

Then he said: "There is a Chinese version in the album, but today we bring you the Japanese version."

"This is really great, I'm sure fans in Japan will love this song."

It can be heard that this host is very formatted.

However, Wu Zhuo and others didn't care and followed the interview process to talk about the type of songs, etc.

During the program, the program team broadcast interviews with ordinary viewers from Taiwan about their impressions of Fahrenheit.

"Fahrenheit is my favorite band, and I especially like their song "Sorry, Sorry."

"Them! Four very handsome guys. My daughter likes them very much."

"That's cool, I want to be like them."

The interviews broadcast by the program team are all edited.

Some malicious comments have been deleted.

If all of them were released, Wu Chao felt that given the recent trend of public opinion about Fahrenheit in Taiwan, many people might say some vicious words.

There's no way, no one is perfect, and no one can be liked by everyone.

The same goes for Fahrenheit.

If Fahrenheit had not sung the song "Chinese", Fahrenheit might have had a very good reputation in Taiwan.

But after this song came out, driven by some toxic factors, although Fahrenheit's popularity is still terrifyingly high, it also gained a large number of black fans.

After all, "Music Mini Station" is just an interview stage, which is not very important. In addition, there are other Japanese artists to be interviewed, so it does not take up much time.

In just a few minutes, the interview with Fahrenheit was over.

Several people started to go backstage and wait for the performance to begin.

Many Japanese singers had gathered backstage at this time.

Wu Zhuo and the others didn’t know any of them, so they didn’t go to chat with them. Instead, they sat back in their seats and chatted about their own things.

“I kind of want to go back.”

Jiro Wang was lying on a chair rubbing his ears, "I now understand why those foreigners are always so quiet when they come to our place to promote their products.

I don’t know anyone and I don’t understand the language. This atmosphere is just too uncomfortable.”
