Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 229 Do you want to make history (8000 words)

Higashinoji was determined to make "Unnatural Death" achieve sales of two million copies per volume, and did not continue to read "Lemon" distractedly.

After all, pop music is at best a side job of his side job, and cannot be compared with the main business of comics.

But what Higashinoji didn't expect was——

Yukie Oura really bombarded him, and the intensity was not light.

Although she just bombarded Higashinoji as a guest on a radio show.

"So Oura-san thinks Mr. Higashino is not qualified as a professional singer, right?"

"At least we shouldn't over-praise Mr. Higashino like many music magazines do." Oura Yukie said with a smile: "We all have seen the popularity of "Lemon", and we also know that Mr. Higashino is indeed very talented, but he only relies on one original song. To be touted as a national songwriter and national singer is too much.”

She had no problem saying this.

There are no hits in the world or only one work by a national singer.

She later said: "I am also a fan of "Lemon", and I also like the song "Lemon" very much. But behind the love, we must also look at "Lemon" and Mr. Higashino clearly and rationally. After all, Mr. Higashino only has this one work. , if you praise it too much, it will be flattering."

She said these words very methodically, as if she was thinking about "Lemon" and Higashinoji.

As for why Oura Yukie appeared here to bombard Higashinoji - it was because she couldn't hold it in any longer.

As mentioned before, Oura Yukie is a singer with high ambitions and low abilities. She has ridiculed senior singers on TV programs before, so she naturally does not want to be sullen. She is also a popular young singer, so why should she only watch Higashinoji? And isn’t it a bit too much to bring out the fact that Higashinoji was snubbed a month or two ago?

"So what kind of evaluation does Oura-san actually think the song "Lemon" deserves?"

"It's a very good song." Oura Yukie smiled, looking like an old man in the music industry: "This is indeed a very good song, but if we continue to tout it and praise the platinum songs of the younger generation, it will be a bit disappointing. People are laughing. It can be expected that "Lemon" will quickly reach the top of the distribution chart this time, but it will fall from the top soon."

"Oh? Are Oura-san so confident about this?"

The host was a little surprised.

Oura Yukie's attitude in speaking was so sure that it was a bit difficult for her to answer the question.

"Of course." Oura Yukie nodded without hesitation: "Everyone in the audience should also know that I am also a famous person on the distribution list. I have this experience, so I can certainly confirm it."

"Then what does Oura-san think of Teacher Higashino?" The host hesitated for a while and then asked.

"He is a good manga author, but as a singer he is still a little too immature. One song cannot support a singer. If Mr. Higashino wants to enter the music industry, it is best to do more homework. The song "Lemon" The miracle of "Unnatural Death" cannot be copied so easily. After all, there is only one "Unnatural Death", so Mr. Higashino can't write the theme song of "Unnatural Death" again, right?"

Her words clearly meant that "Lemon" became popular because of the popularity of "Unnatural Death", but secretly she said that the main reason why "Lemon" became popular was Higashinoji's luck. In itself, it is a miracle, and Higashinoji wants to create it again. Miracles are difficult.

Then the host communicated with Yukie Oura for a while.

The main issue revolves around the exclusive interview Higashino gave to NHK a few days ago.

Of course, Oura Yukie was very envious of this. As a singer, she had never received an interview with NHK. Unexpectedly, Higashino Tsukasa, a fake singer of a song, got an interview with NHK instead.

Envy, really envy.

She chattered a lot more, mainly because she wanted Touyaji to concentrate on his creation and not to increase the exposure of his works by arousing sympathy.

To be honest, Higashikata was quite surprised when he heard these things.

What kind of monster is this Yukie Oura?

Isn't this one too tough?

In this radio show, she seems to be saying nice things on the surface, but in fact, if the lines are summed up, she secretly says, "Higashinoji is not good, and the song "Lemon" is not good."

The spread rate of radio stations in this era is quite good.

Oura Yukie's words quickly spread to the Internet, sparking a lot of discussions.

Naturally, some people agree with Oura Yukie's remarks.

After all, as she said, Higashinoji is really just a comic book author, and the popularity of a song doesn't mean much.

Some people agree, but others are against it. They feel that Yukie Oura simply has sour grapes. Seeing "Lemon" knocking him off the distribution list, and about to win the weekly crown, they jumped out and said, "But in this way'.

Everyone can smell the strong lemon sour smell.

There is also a particularly talented netizen who found a photo of Yukie Oura and made her eyes into two lemon covers of "Lemon", with the words "no more than that" underneath.

This spoof picture makes people laugh, and Higashinoji is also very happy. He thinks that the majority of netizens are very talented, and they can even think of such p-pictures.

Fans of Yukie Oura got into a fight with fans of "Lemon" on the Internet because of this picture.

In the end, fans of Yukie Oura said that we should wait and see. "Lemon" will fall off the weekly charts soon. It is not right to hold on for a week. It is better to be safe for two weeks. It's about to fall off the weekly list!

They are still very confident in Oura Yukie's prediction. Isn't it a casual prediction for such a young popular singer to predict the distribution list?

Could her standard answer be wrong?

The fans of "Lemon" are also furious. The disheveled man said that "Lemon" will soon be on the distribution list. No one can stop it. Come and kill one, come and kill a pair! This song is for the annual crown!

They were fighting fiercely on the Internet, and Konoe Ryoka and the others were not idle either.

Led by Takahashi Yumi, the three of them began to go to major music forums to promote "Lemon", and it was so popular that "Lemon" was the only golden song in the world.

"This Oura Yukie is going too far." After listening to the radio recording again, Takahashi Yumi snorted in anger.

Konoe Ryoka didn't say anything, but she also frowned, feeling that this person was a bit baffled. Why did he catch Higashinoji and start shooting?

In fact, it is normal for the media to praise singers or actors in Japan. It happens once in a thousand or ten thousand years.

But if there is a problem with a singer or actor, they will scold them with great vigor, wishing they could bring down your whole family for eighteen generations.

For this reason, Konoe Ryoka didn't think there was anything wrong with the media that praised Higashinoji - starting with praise and then criticizing later, isn't this the normal process?

"Higashino-kun, aren't you angry?" Fujiwara Aoi looked at Higashinoji and couldn't help but ask.

Because in her eyes, Touyesi was still smiling.

Higashinoji was a little too calm, and there was no sign of anger or irritation at all.

"The problem is that it's useless to be angry." Higashinoji smiled and shook his head: "Besides, this is just a small thing. I can't say I don't care, but my most critical energy now should be on "Unnatural Death" .”

"Unnatural Death" will be released the day after tomorrow. Things are so busy over there. How can Higashinoji be in the mood to care about Yukie Oura?

This person is a lunatic. We will take care of her later. The most important thing now is to take care of the "Unnatural Death" matter.

"I definitely want three books to support it!" Takahashi Yumi raised her palms without hesitation.

The single volume of "Unnatural Death" is only 400 yen, and the three volumes are only 1,200 yen, which is not a big burden for her.

"Then thank you in advance, Takahashi-san." Higashinoji nodded and then looked at Chihaya Higashino who was listening to "Lemon" on the other side.

"Lemon" may be Chihaya Higashino's favorite song.

She seems to be inseparable from "Lemon" now

Was this song irritating to Chihaya Higashino?

Or is it because the lyrics bring excitement to Chihaya Higashino?

Tonoji held his chin and thought.

Is Higashino Chihaya's abnormal behavior now a sign that she is about to find herself again?

Do you want to find some more good songs for Chihaya Higashino to listen to? See if she can give any other feedback?

Higashikata thought for a while and finally gave up.

After all, no one can make sense or understand things like spirituality and psychology.

If only it were so easy to cure Higashino Chihaya's illness by listening to just two songs.

Higashinoji put aside his distracting thoughts and devoted himself to preparations for the sale of the fourth volume of "Unnatural Death".

Time flies, especially when you are thinking about what to prepare for.

"Unnatural Death" volume 4 single book release date!

This is a special day not only for Higashino Tsukasa, but also for all comic magazine publishers in the industry.

It was quiet outside the editorial offices of Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore. They all knew that "Unnatural Death" was planning to make a desperate move and achieve sales of two million volumes today.

That is the sales ceiling of Japanese comics. Telling it is something that can witness the history of Japanese comics.

If Higashinoji succeeds in his sprint, it won't be a problem with the mainstay author. Higashinoji can be said to be a giant of Urashima Publishing House.

And he is the only giant author.

If possible, they hope that their own author will cut off this reputation.

"Teacher Higashino is so awesome."

Ozawada couldn't help but say something.

When the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award was presented, Ozawada, the first pillar manga author of Iwakaku Publishing House, never thought that Higashinoji would reach this point.

Originally, he thought that the worst case scenario would be that he and Sakamoto from Mozhu Bookstore tried their best to deal with Higashinoji

As a result, Sakamoto's manga has been sold to heaven and is still in the process of being finalized.

Although his own comics are considered to have excellent results, they are no match for Higashinoji's average sales volume of 1.5 million volumes in the Oricon rankings, and he is unable to resist being pinned down.

Now Higashinoji is going to have an average sales volume of two million volumes.

"If it succeeds, the themes of the Japanese comics market will definitely change."

When "Unnatural Death" sold an average of 1.5 million volumes, there were many follow-up themes in the Japanese manga market.

But following the trend, there are still many old comics authors who are unwilling to test the waters and still live by robot comics. The water in the Japanese comics market can only be said to be muddy, but it has not yet reached the point where everyone is boiling dumplings together.

But the sales volume of two million volumes is different. That is the ceiling of comic sales, which is equivalent to the weather vane of the comic market.

That's good too.

Ozawada really feels a little bored with the current stagnant Japanese comics market.

He was the one who made the ceiling for Higashinoji's sprint, which made Ozawada cough several times, expressing his helplessness.

At that time, he didn't know that the junior Higashinoji was so powerful.

You must know that the other party has only been drawing comics for a year and a half. In the end, he killed a group of old people and scattered their ashes.

Fuji Publishing House, which has always been neutral on the other side, can no longer be neutral this time.

Shinji Furuta has been praying that Higashinoji would not reach two million volumes in average sales.

If Higashinoji really attacks, Fuji Publishing House will have to live in the shadow of Higashinoji.

After all, Fuji Publishing's "Thriller" is also a horror magazine comic, and there is a reader conflict with "Chill".

The popularity of "Abominable Cold" was not very friendly to them, Fuji Publishing House.

"Hey, my hair is gone too."

Shinji Furuta sighed deeply and touched his head, which was already glimmering.

He still had beautiful hair half a year ago.

Now they are sparse, all of them were caused by Higashinoji's surprise, and they were all gone with just a grasp of his hand.

Even Suzuki Ha, who has never cared much about comic sales, is paying attention to the sales of "Unnatural Death".

Average sales volume of two million volumes

Suzuki Yu took a deep breath.

She was really unwilling.

I could still see Higashinoji's shadow before, but now I can't seem to even catch Higashinoji's shadow.

"My next comic must exceed one million volumes and move towards two million volumes!"

Suzuki Yu thought so in his heart.

In the attention of these people more or less.

The fourth single volume of "Unnatural Death" has finally been officially released.

What is different from usual is that there are many fans holding signs with the cover of "Lemon" at the purchase site of the single copy of "Unnatural Death".

The song "Lemon" really brought a turning point to Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death"!

But the next step is the key!

As long as the sales volume in the first hour exceeds 28,000, then the average sales volume of two million volumes will be basically stable!

Waiting is always a difficult process.

At least that's the case for Hosokawa Koharu.

She almost held her watch to check the time, even if she set the alarm specifically.

Hosokawa Koharu was extremely nervous.

Don't even mention her, the other Urashima Publishing editors had similar expressions.

This is a moment that can witness history. The moment when "Unnatural Death" changed from a phenomenon-level comic to a ceiling comic——

Even Editor-in-Chief Urashima couldn't keep his composure and kept shaking his legs slightly.

"The one-hour expedited sales statistics are out."

The sales statistics sheet just taken out of the printer was slapped on the table.

Then everyone saw the numbers above.

"Unnatural Death" sold 28,700 copies in one hour!

One more chapter.
