The days of being a cat in Japan

After the extras here were filmed, the handsome host and Mr. Fujimoto said some polite words, then hurriedly walked towards the stage.

Just now, the director's assistant was waving to him, indicating that he was ready to go on stage.

Lighting, sound, microphone, after the last round of debugging, the host adjusted his emotions while stepping on the countdown to go on stage.

The order of the contestants in this round of re-election is determined by drawing lots in advance. At the beginning of the competition, each contestant has a unique number for him or her according to the order of registration.

When drawing lots, this number will be drawn out of the box by the judges one at a time, and this order is the order of their subsequent appearances.

Fukuda Yasushi's number is 52. Among the 60 players in this round of re-election, he is the fifth from the bottom to appear.

This order is good or bad. The good thing is that you can watch the performance of the opponents in front of you by playing later, so that you can make some corresponding adjustments for yourself.

The bad thing is that each re-election has a number of promotions. If the judges in the front are loose and give more promotion places, the requirements will naturally be stricter later.

But fortunately, in order to ensure fairness, the judges still have to score the contestants, so in addition to the contestants who have directly advanced, among the rest, the eight with the highest scores can still advance.

There are three semi-finals, each with 60 participants.

Among them, 12 people can advance directly, and the rest have to wait for the overall ranking of the competition.

According to the competition rules of this rematch, after the performance, if the three judges and teachers unanimously agree that he or she can advance, the contestant will advance directly.

And as long as one of the teachers disagrees, the three judges will give points in turn. The maximum score that each judge can give is 300 points out of 100 points.

If there are less than 12 people who are directly promoted in this field, they will be replaced in turn according to the scores of the field until there are 12 people.

The players had already learned about these regulations from the organizer before the game, and in order to make it easier for the brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces who came to watch the game, Etsuko also briefly explained to them backstage.

With the appearance of the host, the recording of this reelection officially began.

Seeing the players who were waiting in the background like himself began to appear one by one, Fukuda Yasushi became more and more nervous.

As expected of a re-election, all the contestants who can be called to participate have their own unique skills.

Looking at those "opponents" on the stage who either had a high pitch against the sky, or had outstanding dancing skills, or had a low pitch that could fascinate people, Yasushi Fukuda began to sweat slowly from his clenched palms.

The performances of the contestants on the stage became more and more exciting, and the number of promotion places in the hands of the judges became less and less, Fukuda Yasushi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

When it was finally Yasushi Fukuda's turn to play, 50 of the more than 11 previous selectors had already advanced.

Therefore, there is only one place for direct promotion in the hands of the judges, and there are still five people waiting for the competition, including Yasushi Fukuda.

With a one in five chance, Fukuda Yasushi doesn't know if he will be that lucky person.

Standing in the center of the stage with a microphone in hand, the lights and all eyes were on him, Yasushi Fukuda took a deep breath, recovered his senses and nodded to the teacher in charge of playing background music.

After the soundtrack sounded, Yasushi Fukuda clenched the microphone and started his own singing.

After a song, Fukuda Yasushi stood on the stage and looked nervously at the judges below.

Among the three judges, the oldest and kindest one was the first to give his own comments, and he said: "I think this student has a very good voice and no technical problems, so he can be promoted directly. "

Hearing this, Fukuda Kang was overjoyed and quickly bowed his head to express his thanks.

Soon the second judge also gave an opinion, but he hesitated before saying: "From the perspective of voice and technique, there is indeed no problem, and there are emotions. Since Mr. Kuroda gave the promotion, then I also Give it a promotion."

Yasushi Fukuda nodded his thanks when he heard the words, and then looked at the last judge with expectant eyes, which was his favorite and most admired music producer, Mr. Sato Takeuchi.

But to his great disappointment, after Sato Takeuchi picked up the microphone, he said directly: "I'm sorry for this player, I can't give you this chance to advance directly."

Sato Takeuchi's words were tantamount to giving Yasushi Fukuda a blow to the head, making him stare at the stars in an instant, and his heart full of expectations seemed to be thrown into an ice bucket.

From heaven to hell is nothing more than that. Fukuda Yasushi tried his best to control his emotions and not let himself lose his composure, but he was still unwilling.

So he bent down to express his gratitude and asked again: "Can I ask Mr. Sato, why do you think I am not suitable for direct promotion?"

Hearing this, Sato Takeuchi glanced at the big boy standing on the stage, looked down at his profile, and said, "I've been paying attention to you since you came to participate in the audition. The bass area can be handled perfectly. The conversion of skills is also very skilled, and you sing very carefully to the selected songs. From these, you can see that you should have prepared for a long time. From the beginning to now, I have listened to you singing Three songs, but I didn't realize that even one of them was sung by yourself."

There was an uproar at the scene following Sato Takeuchi's words. Could it be that the contestant on the stage has been lip-syncing all the time?

But it shouldn't be, the show The Strongest Voice in China was recorded live, so it's so easy for such a person to fake singing, after all, there are hundreds of pairs of eyes watching.

Besides, when the contestant sang on the stage just now, although they were in the auditorium below the stage, they could hear clearly that the singing was indeed coming from the microphone.

Hearing what Sato Takeuchi said, Fukuda Yasushi trembled angrily on the stage. He suppressed his anger and said: "Mr. Sato, I have always admired you and respected your professional level. But this time you really got it wrong , I didn't lip-sync."

Hearing this, Sato Takeuchi picked up the microphone and said, "Who said you lip-synced? You have sung three songs since the competition, namely Whenever, SAYYES and Tsunami. These songs are very melodious, But what I heard was Noriyuki Shinhara's Whenever, Chuck and Asuka's SAYYES and Southern Sky Stars' Tsunami, you are not included in these songs."

Yasushi Fukuda listened with a dazed expression. He didn't know why Sato Takeuchi commented on him like this, since he sang every song.

Seeing that the big boy on the stage still didn't understand what he meant, Sato Takeuchi simply said directly: "I have to say, Yasushi Fukuda is very talented, and without any formal guidance, you can perfect yourself to this level. The level is already very difficult. If I'm not wrong, your way of practicing songs should be to listen to the original songs, and then practice bit by bit by yourself, right?"

Yasushi Fukuda nodded when he heard the words. He did not have any chance to get in touch with the orthodox music circle, so he did practice songs like this.

Sato Takeuchi heard the words and said: "Because of this, every song you sing has too many traces of imitation. Therefore, although it is wonderful and beautiful, it does not have any characteristics of its own. Such a singer cannot be directly promoted. , after all, if you want to hear the original song, you can just search it online, why come to listen to you?"

The other two judges also agreed with Sato Takeuchi's point of view. Hearing this, Fukuda Yasushi stood on the stage dejectedly.

He is very sad in his heart now, Sato Takeuchi's words made him feel that all his previous efforts were in vain.

Am I really not suitable for singing, not suitable for this stage?

For the first time in his life, Yasushi Fukuda became confused about his persistence.

Suppressing his red and moist eye circles, Yasushi Fukuda bowed deeply on the stage, he was going to leave the stage after he got his score.

But the judge Sato Takeuchi, who should be the first to score according to the order, did not score directly. Instead, after thinking for a while, he said to Fukuda Yasushi standing on the stage: "You are 20 years old this year, and today is your coming-of-age ceremony. As a Elders who are more than twenty years older than you, I really hope to hear you sing a song of your own with your own singing voice today, when you are an adult."

Sato Takeuchi is giving Yasushi Fukuda another chance, hoping that he can use his singing to give himself points at the last moment before the judges give points.

Fukuda Yasushi was a little confused when he heard the words, he didn't know what he should sing.

Because the previous notice told him to sing only one song, so he only practiced one song these days.

Now that he is suddenly asked to sing a song, Fukuda Yasushi doesn't know how to choose.

And if it's really like what Sato Takeuchi said just now, then he has to imitate everything he sings, after all, that's how he practiced when he practiced songs.

Regarding this sudden situation, Fukuda Yasushi was not the only one who was at a loss, the program team was also very busy.

Because such a situation was not expected to happen, the program group did not prepare too much music at all.

Although the background music can be added in post-production, but it is not original, and it will always sound flawed.

However, Sato Takeuchi quickly solved this problem for the program team, and only heard him say: "Fukuda Yasushi, everyone else can only sing one song, but you can sing two songs. To be fair, you can only sing this song Can sing a cappella."

This time Fukuda Yasushi was even more confused. Just when he didn't know what was wrong, the mynah who was standing honestly on Junko's shoulder suddenly spread his wings and flew towards his master.

Seeing the mynah slowly flying towards him, Fukuda returned to his hometown in a trance, the days when he stood in the rice field at home and led George to sing under the caress of the ears of rice.

It's been a long time since he felt that kind of comfort. Wasn't it because of the freedom that he fell in love with singing at first?

Reaching out his hand to catch George who was flying towards him, Yasushi Fukuda stroked the bird's wings with his fingers, then raised his head and said: "Judges and teachers, I know what I'm going to sing, please enjoy the nursery rhyme "Sakura" next, Singer Yasushi Fukuda."
