Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 226: Working Hard, Higashino Division (4000 words)

The song "Lemon" really hit the distribution list suddenly.

Even those singers who had just released new songs looked at themselves being run over in bewilderment, and then couldn't help touching their heads inexplicably—why did they seem to be run over by something?

what is this?

They were very surprised to see "Lemon" which was the seventh in the distribution list.

Are there any highly respected senior singers who want to hit the distribution list recently?Why haven't we heard the news?

But when they steadied themselves and carefully flipped through the song "Lemon" and the author's name, they suddenly realized that something was wrong, and it was an expression of even more astonishment - Higashinoji?I have heard of this person, he is the author of "Unnatural Death".

Many singers know Higashinoji's name. After all, "Unnatural Death" is very popular now. It can be said that it is so popular that many fans like this comic.

But the Higashino Division in my impression is a manga author?Why did he suddenly get involved in the distribution list?

They couldn't figure it out, they could only watch the phenomenon-level manga author Higashino sang "Lemon" and danced on top of their heads on the distribution list.

But to be honest, the popularity of the song "Lemon" did not surprise Higashinoji.

Back then, Kenshi Yonezu won the first place in the distribution list with this song. In 19 years, he scored a huge distribution of 300 million. It was recognized by the Recording Association of Japan as "the fastest work in history to reach 200 million downloads". "The number of MVs has exceeded 4 million. It would be a strange thing if this song didn't directly take down the distribution list.

This was the hit single after its release that year.

Higashino nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time turned his eyes away from "Lemon", and began to read the comments on the latest episode of "Unnatural Death".

The words "Happy Honey Cake Factory" in "Unnatural Death" this time resonated with many people.

Sano's father image in "Unnatural Death" can be said to be very successful.

Many people expressed their opinions in the comments.

'I thought of my father, who cut his hand while working in the factory, and he just went to the hospital for surgery without saying a word, and when he came back, he didn't say a word, and he didn't say a word about his discomfort. '

'I used to ride a motorcycle back home at night, and I tripped over a pit on the road, and the whole person flew a long way. I couldn't get on the motorcycle by myself, so I had to push the motorcycle with bloody hands. Sometimes I really feel bitter when I drive home, but I also think of my wife and daughter "Lemon" is also a good song. The lyrics and tune make me feel very warm, thank you Higashino-san. '

There are different opinions, and "Unnatural Death" seems to have become a platform for many people to share their stories.

In fact, this is vaguely a tradition for fans of "Unnatural Death".

When I talked about the discrimination against Japanese women in the courts last time, many women came to express their thoughts.

"Unnatural Death" seems to be a pressure reducer for many people in society. Many people lament their own stories while watching "Unnatural Death".

Higashinoji just took a look and then turned to look at the comment section of "Lemon".

'In the past 10 years, I felt that I had grown up quietly without hearing any touching songs, but when I heard lemon for the first time, I felt it hit my heart, so I downloaded it right away.Then I was wondering what other works Higashino-san had, so I flipped through and found out that this is actually the theme song of a manga, whether it's a manga or a song, it's very good'

'Although I am not a young man, Higashino-san's songs and paintings are very charming, and I have been energized and healed these days.Thank you Higashino-san for "Lemon". I will also find a chance to buy a complete booklet of "Unnatural Death". '

Just looking at the reviews, there are quite a few people who think Higashino sang very well, especially the iconic fresh singing, and the very magical "crooked" in the post-processing song. This is why they like the song "Lemon" important reason for the song.

Kenshi Yonezu's characteristic clear voice is really easy to use.

Higashino Division nodded, and then began to sort out the current situation.

This time, "Unnatural Death" received more than 730 votes, which can be regarded as an explosive growth.

Because no matter which comic, as long as it squeezes into the 700 votes, it will be very difficult to grow again. At most, it will remain stable within more than [-] votes.

Such a sudden jump up a little bit surprised them all.

It is not a problem at all to say that it is explosive growth.

The editors of Urashima Publishing House are not the kind of vase decorations that only "wow" in novels. They immediately smelled a hint of sprinting to the average sales volume of "Unnatural Death" to 200 million volumes from this phenomenon.

They were summoned by the editor-in-chief Urashima and began to analyze whether they could take advantage of the popularity to boost sales and put "Unnatural Death" into the ranks of the ceiling of Japanese manga.

And this time.

One week until the release of the fourth volume of Unnatural Death.

The sudden fire of "Lemon" has of course attracted many music TV stations. Now it is just in the period of "Unnatural Death" fire.

They started with the introduction of the music. The show also invited several famous singers in the Japanese music scene. These singers all said that the song "Lemon" is indeed a good song, sad but not sad.

It should be said that it is professional grade.

Compared with those comments on online posts like "recalling my girlfriend, recalling my dog, recalling the beauty of running in the sunset that year" - even if they are nonsense, It's not like running the train with your mouth full like netizens. After all, most Japanese don't eat dog meat.

It's just that during the program, I don't know if it was the director's request or an accident.

There was a guest female singer who added a role to herself, and while wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she asked whether Mr. Higashino had an unfortunate incident recently, which is why he was able to write such a song?

Her words made the audience who watched the excitement below suddenly enlightened, and suddenly realized that this is the case, no wonder Mr. Dongye can write such a sad song, it turns out that he has suffered misfortune recently.

This rhetoric is obviously much more acceptable than some music magazines out there saying that Higashino is a "once in a millennium" musical genius, just like "I once pierced a 50cm steel plate in a state of extreme anger" in the previous life, as long as it is not Especially exaggerated, it can be accepted.

After all, emotional resonance is always closer to life than the illusory "genius" on the verbal.

Many fans who got into Higashino Division's "Unnatural Death" because of "Lemon" looked at each other and expressed concern, right?Did Higashino-sensei suffer misfortune?Will he commit suicide?

There are quite a few suicides in Japan. It is quite normal for celebrities, singers and even great writers to commit suicide.

Fans began to analyze one after another, and they all worried that it was very possible. Otherwise, why did Higashinoji write this kind of song?

Then came the news from someone who didn't know, saying that Urashima Publishing House forced Higashinoji to keep the quality of his works, so he was not allowed to hire manga assistants. 'The Lonely One' independently completed the drawing of "Unnatural Death".

As soon as the news came out, many fans were in an uproar.

You must know that "Chill" is a weekly manga, Higashino and "The Lonely Gourmet" monthly magazine need to draw together to make it true as the rumors say

In many people's minds, the sunken eyes, the pale and frail Dongye Si leaned over his desk and painstakingly completed his works. He coughed from time to time, and his originally young body also contracted a serious illness and then lay on the hospital bed.

The rumors became more and more outrageous.

This time no one could stand it.

Many people, including some fans of "Unnatural Death" who were involved in it inexplicably, went to Urashima Publishing House to seek justice from Higashino Division.

——Don’t think that this kind of fan behavior doesn’t happen in reality. In fact, singers or fans of Xiaoxianrou have made countless similar jokes.

Many comic fans were puzzled, but since they were involved in the turmoil, they were a little concerned.

Could it be that Mr. Higashino is really like what others said?Being abused by a black-hearted publishing house?

That's the way it is. No wonder Higashinoji wants to draw the words "Happy Honey Cake Factory" this time. Isn't this implying that he himself is drawing comics in the Black Heart Publishing House?

They combine the plot, and then feed it back to "Lemon" and Higashino Division, and they also think it is very possible.

The situation has reached such a point that the editor-in-chief Urashima is also catching himself losing hair all over his head.

what?

Did Urashima Publishing House abuse Higashino-sensei?

I can't wait to carry him to my family's altar to enshrine. You still want to say that there is something wrong with Urashima Publishing House?

Moreover, Urashima Publishing House actually asked Hosokawa Koharu to remind Higashinoji many times about the manga assistant, but Higashinoji just doesn't need it, can I give it to him if others don't want it?

The editor-in-chief of Urashima also thought that if this matter was revealed, some people would say that Urashima Publishing abused manga authors, but who would have thought that it would be like this because of the theme song of "Lemon"?

He was a little helpless, and in the end he hurriedly pulled several well-known newspaper publishers to issue a statement—the fact that Urashima Publishing House never abused Higashino-sensei was requested by Higashino-sensei himself, and he said that he did not need manga assistants.

This inexplicable star-chasing behavior made Dong Yesi dumbfounded. He had heard some fans' confusing star-chasing behavior before, but he didn't expect that this matter could be spread to himself.

He issued a statement on paper with Urashima Publishing House, and indeed succeeded in suppressing the disturbance.

But what Higashino Division didn't expect was that the fans who got the answer did not give up their "random analysis". After many inquiries, they finally learned about the current situation of the Higashino family from a student at Beiyijuku.

His parents died together, leaving Higashinoji and his older sister to live in Tokyo.

Once this news broke out, many fans were surprised.

They have been complaining about this and that on the Internet, but they never expected that there are truly inspirational people around.

There is a good saying, life is full of dilemmas, but Higashinoji is too difficult, right?

Just worshiping the parents?

These fans didn't care about the details, and after hearing the news, they spread it around. Many people expressed doubts, thinking that this might be pure hype by Higashinoji.

But someone responded immediately, Dong Yesi is already so popular, there is no need to make fun of his family and parents—isn’t it courting death for public figures to fabricate fake news?

If it's in the Celestial Dynasty, you don't have to worry too much about this kind of thing, because no matter how you expose it, there will always be fans who will help you speak up, and you can just pretend to be dead when the time comes.

But the people here in Japan have a natural sense of awe for the printed news, and the printed news also has a great influence on the public. If you really dare to fabricate some fake news, it will not only hurt the individual when it is exposed in the media The image is such a small thing.

Seriously speaking, this person can be regarded as ruined, no matter which line of work he goes to, he will be rejected by his peers.

The impact of Higashinoji's family issues has been discussed more and more, and Higashinoji has won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, so many people have paid attention to it.

This also caused Higashino Division to press his eyebrows.

When things got to this kind of situation, it would be difficult for him not to end up.

This may be the price of using "Lemon". Kenshi Yonezu is indeed a charming singer, otherwise he wouldn't be making trouble because of a song.

As for Beiyiju

This is no wonder that old fox principal Yoshimine Ryuichi.

After all, the original owner's family was severely injured at that time, and his parents passed away. It is not a secret thing that all relatives and friends avoid it.

At that time, this was still a topic of discussion among classmates in the school, and many people sympathized with the original owner.

Fortunately, the fact that Higashino Chihaya suffered from mental illness did not spread, which more or less made Higashinoji a little relieved.

It can be regarded as a rainy day, the backup he had arranged in the school before had an effect, and the publicity that Higashino Chihaya actually had a problem with his body and needed to recuperate.

If Higashino Chihaya's mental illness is exposed, Higashino Chihaya recovers later, and later finds that many people across the country know that she has suffered from mental illness, which must be another heavy blow to her.

As long as this matter is not exposed, then everything is fine.

And strictly speaking, it would be beneficial for his image in the face of society if these things were brought out.

Higashino Division breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and decided to accept the interview invitation sent by NHK - he is also the one who won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award. It is not surprising that a TV station like NHK invited him.

He intends to answer some people's questions in the show, calming down the turmoil and at the same time establishing an image of a comic author who is working hard and striving for the top, and it is also conducive to the popularity of "Lemon" and "Unnatural Death".

For the next volume 200 of "Unnatural Death" to break through [-] million sales!

Just take a name--

Work hard, Higashinoji!

　Thank you for being on Jielv, Salted Fish Hunzi, The World of Light and Darkness, Lin Family 321, Brother Kuma, this name is so long, Baiyan Ning, that touch of fascination!Thank you so much!
