No...it should be said to be God's live!
In fact, many media who were at the scene at the time did not hesitate to call this live the God’s Live. In particular, some well-known musicians who were present at the venue at the time praised it with emotion on his Twitter account that night: This live, in terms of design, performance, and meaning, has reached a level that ordinary people can hardly imagine. !
In terms of exquisite design, it is more than enough to film a stage play, and it is even very feasible to directly adapt the script into a TV movie; in terms of wonderful performances, whether it is the individual performances of the members of Nogizaka46, or the performances of Ryuichi Sakamoto before he retired from the circle The final surprise performance, or the superb level of his disciple Baiyunshan who is a band, each one is more breathtaking than the last; in terms of significance, the consistent theme of growth, plus the bonus of Sakamoto Ryuichi withdrawing from the circle, is called It is no exaggeration to say that it is God’s live!
Therefore, coupled with the huge influence of these people, countless people beat their chests overnight. There was a lot of wailing on the Internet, and then they sent private messages to the official website of Nogizaka46, asking for the video materials or CDs of the first anniversary live to be released as soon as possible. They were all so impatient that they wanted to go to the SME building to request immediately. Hand over operations——
Of course, the operators are not so stupid that they do nothing, but they clearly understand the principles of hunger marketing and have not actually released the full version of the live video material. But after that, some live clips or performed songs were released one after another. Except for Nogi's new song which was not released due to some reasons, other songs in the live, such as "Cold めたスープ", "Who's Who", etc., followed one by one on the Internet. Then they became popular searches one after another.
But the most popular one is of course the last encore song "Kun no Name No Hope". It has already attracted heated discussion across the Internet just after it was first revealed. With the support of the exaggerated playback volume that makes people's scalp numb, Even before it was released, it has already reached the top of the song charts, going from the top ten to the top three. It seems that reaching the number one spot can be achieved in just a few hours.
Many people even suggested that the song that would be released on March 13th should be changed to this version. However, considering production and time issues, this suggestion was eventually cancelled. It is only announced to the public that the live version can be sold as another CD single. The CD sold also includes the songs "Cold めたスープ" and "Who is it" that appeared in the live session? The song caused another craze——
Even many singers and musicians, after watching the encore video, imitated the actions of one person in Baiyunshan playing four instruments in the video, and performed "Jun's Name" in the video in this way. "Hope", but without exception, they all ended in failure.
There are some people who have performed two instruments at the same time. Most of them are guitar and bass, but when it comes to the third violin, they all fall into the dust, let alone the drum set. I can’t help but lament that it’s hard enough to do two things at once, let alone three or four things at once. It’s like a superpower!
Such imitation videos also set off a wave of imitation on the Internet. Many people also imitated the situation in the video and tried to challenge it. Even if they failed, it was not a pity. They just regarded it as entertainment. From well-known musicians and singers to self-taught enthusiasts and newcomers who have just learned an instrument, they have all jumped into the game of trying it out. Unknowingly, the influence has expanded again, even on the external network. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has become popular all over the country——
However, amidst such heated discussions among the people, Baiyunshan, one of the protagonists at the center of the incident who has been subject to much discussion and curiosity, is surprisingly calm.
At the moment, he and his little idols were leisurely eating barbecue at the barbecue restaurant they usually went to after major events.
