Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 165: Fahrenheit Arrives (Monthly Ticket Plus )

"Huozhuo, those Japanese are pointing fingers at us. Do you think they are scolding us?"

Being in an unfamiliar environment and without a language barrier, several members had difficulty adapting.

Calvin Chen, who is usually the most lively guy, didn't say much, but occasionally glanced at other people.

When he noticed two Japanese singers pointing in this direction, he immediately frowned and asked Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo subconsciously looked over there, and immediately looked at him speechlessly, "Brother, that's Hirai Ken. He was just asking the person next to him which company we are from."

"He is Ken Hirai?"

Hearing the name, Jiro Wang and the other two looked over there curiously.

Ken Hirai is a typical example of a person who became popular midway through his career.

He debuted in the mid-1990s but was not very popular until the new century. He quickly became the best-selling male singer in Japan in recent years.

In November 2005, "Ken Hirai - The Complete Collection of His Ten Years of Song Obsession" was released, which won the annual album sales championship with sales of 11 million copies.

He is the most popular male singer in Japan in the past two years.

It was his cover of "Meteor Shower", the song that allowed F4 to open a concert with just two songs.

"Hi! Hello!"

Seeing Wu Zhuo and the other three looking at him, Hirai Ken seemed to realize that his behavior was impolite and took the initiative to walk over.

“I didn’t know you weren’t Japanese singers, I was just asking my friend which company’s group you were from.

Please forgive me if this causes any inconvenience.”

Ken Hirai said this and bowed.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo and the other three couldn't help but look at each other.

Wu Zhuo felt a little sad in his heart, these little Japanese were really too polite.

Not to mention famous singers like Ken Hirai.

Just now, when Wu Zhuo and others came into contact with other staff members, these guys kept bowing and greeting them.

"Mr. Hirai Ken, you are too polite. We don't mean to blame you. It's just that my members don't understand Japanese very well. They just asked me what you were talking about."

The four of them stood up and Wu Chao explained.

"It was indeed my fault. It is never a glorious thing to talk about others behind their backs.

To express my apology, I would like to invite you to have a drink at the pub after the show."

Seeing how polite he was, Wu Zhuo and the other three felt a little embarrassed.

It wasn't a big deal, but the other party even came over to apologize.

It makes them more or less uncomfortable.

Hirai Ken chatted with Wu Chao and others for a while before saying goodbye and returning to their seats.

After he left, Jiro Wang glanced at a young singer not far away who kept bowing and greeting other singers.

"Did he just ask us which company we are from because we didn't go over to say hello?"

"Maybe! Although we greeted others after we came in, we just shook hands and made peace.

Unlike the newcomers here who bow and smile."

Wu Zhuo nodded subconsciously.

Looking back now, the reason why Ken Hirai pointed fingers at them was probably because he felt that they were impolite and was angry.

After finding out that Fahrenheit was not a Japanese singer, he quickly came forward to apologize.

“I heard that the etiquette of artists in Korea is more serious.

Do we need to bow to everyone we meet then?"

Chen Yiru had a bitter face.

"We are not Koreans. We can be a little polite, but there is no need to follow their lead."

Wu Zhuo said comfortingly.

If Fahrenheit released an album in Korea, they would basically be considered newcomers.

Given the status of newcomers in Korea, I'm afraid just bowing would give them backaches at night.

"Fahrenheit? You can get ready. You will be the first to go on stage later." As they were chatting, a staff member on site came over to inform them.

Sony's strength in Japan is unquestionable.

Fahrenheit was directly arranged to perform at the opening.

This is usually the position of Japan's top singers.

However, it is actually reasonable to give this position to Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit is extremely popular in the Chinese-speaking regions and is known as the number one band in the Chinese music scene. Even if they come to Japan, their status will be higher, no matter how poor it is.

"Come on! Whether you can become famous in Japan depends on today."

"Don't worry, we are dragons crossing the river, we are here to conquer."

Wu Zhuo and his friends encouraged each other, and after asking the stylist to confirm that there were no problems with the styling, they walked towards the stage.

……

In an apartment in Tokyo, Kawasaki Mie and her good friend Oda Yumiko were waiting in front of the TV early.

They got the news that Johnny's Office will launch a new boy band this week.

As the largest male harem in Japanese entertainment, Johnny's Office occupies almost all of Japan's boy group market.

Most of the boy bands that are popular in Japan come from them.

The [Hey! Say! JUMP] group is the group prepared by Johnny's Office this year. Some time ago, news about them has been widely circulated in Japan.

In this issue, they will appear on "MUSIC STATION".

Kawasaki and Oda have been looking forward to this for a long time.

"It's started, it's started!"

As the commercial ended and the show officially began, Kawasaki shouted excitedly.

When Oda, who was originally about to go to the toilet, heard this, he held back his urge to urinate and sat back down.

"This is so annoying! Hurry up and let [Hey! Say! JUMP] appear!"

I saw several program hosts still talking about the previous episode’s singles charts.

Oda couldn't help but complain.

Perhaps her complaints worked, as the host on TV finally stopped talking about the song from the previous episode and started talking about the next performance.

"The starting lineup today was amazing."

Kazuyoshi Morita exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

"Mr. Morita, how powerful is he? You're making me feel itchy inside."

His partner Mariko Do pretended not to know and asked a question.

"It's amazing. This group is from China. They debuted last year and sold one million copies of their first album in China. The pre-sale data of their new album has reached 600,000. Some organizations predict that the sales of this album may exceed two million."

"Oh my god, this is too scary! Two million sales, even in Japan, there are only a few copies per year."

"Yes! That's why I said they are amazing! This time, they came to Japan with the determination to win. The three Japanese songs in the album were even recognized by many professionals within Sony."

"Are they that good? I can't wait to see their performance!"

"I am also looking forward to it. Now, please welcome Fahrenheit from China to the stage to perform their song "Sorry Sorry" for us."

Hearing the host's words, Xiao Tian was immediately furious, "Damn the production team, they actually let a Chinese group go on stage first."

Having said that, she wanted to get up and go to the bathroom as she had no interest in this group at all.

She just stood up.

A melody with a very strong sense of rhythm sounded on TV.

The door behind the stage opened, and a group of people walked out with arrogant steps following the rhythm of the music.

Among them, the four men in the front were obviously dressed differently from the others behind them.

Moreover, even Oda, who has seen many handsome men, has to admit that the looks of these four men are simply the ceiling of the group.

"Let's take a look first."

Thinking of this, she sat back down.
