Miyamoto Ze finished singing a song.
The customers present were still immersed in the emotions of the song, unable to extricate themselves.
Many people's eyes were already red, and some were drinking in silence.
For a song, emotion is the most important thing, because a classic song has a unique story in everyone's heart.
This story can be about a person, or it can be about an unforgettable experience.
When you hear a song at a certain moment and a person or event instantly comes to mind, that is the greatest value of a song.
"He's got this!" Jin Chengxian exclaimed, slapping the table in the private room as he watched the audience's reaction.
Sean's heart also quickened: "Miyamoto really knows how to choose songs. This song is probably considered a classic among classics in the hearts of Japanese people!"
As someone in the industry, he highly approved of Miyamoto Ze's song selection this time.
Even if it were him, he wouldn't have chosen as well as Miyamoto Ze.
He suddenly realized that this person understood people's hearts very well, or rather, understood the hearts of Japanese people. He knew what could move them.
Jin Chengxian took a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to Sean: "Want one?"
Sean smiled and waved his hand: "I've quit."
When he first started working in the industry, the pressure was immense, and Sean had a smoking habit.
But after becoming a recognized top producer in the music industry, Sean quit smoking.
This was because he no longer needed that to relieve stress, and no one could put pressure on him anymore.
Even now, with Ting Yu consistently overshadowing him, making him somewhat obsessed, Sean felt that once Ting Yu encountered him, it would be the end of this dark horse's run.
There was pressure, but not enough to make him smoke.
...
"Jiangnan-san, do your best, ganbatte!" Morita Yui made a cheering gesture to Su Yu.
The latter waved at her and walked towards the outside of the private room.
Stepping onto the stage, the audience's discussion was still quite noisy, but most of them were discussing Miyamoto Ze's song just now.
They didn't even notice Su Yu coming on stage.
Seeing this reaction, Miyamoto Ze chuckled: "With my nostalgic hit, how are you going to win?"
Indeed, Miyamoto Ze's approach now was like Su Yu singing "Blue and White Porcelain" in China; the effect would surely be unbeatable.
However, he noticed that Su Yu on stage showed no reaction, calmly sitting in front of the piano.
Was he going to play and sing as well?
Miyamoto Ze acknowledged Su Yu's piano skills. In fact, the piano had become a label for Su Yu, a label recognized worldwide.
Su Yu hadn't showcased too many piano skills, but he had received recognition from world-class piano master Louis, who praised him without reservation. This caused his reputation in the piano world to skyrocket.
The halo effect worked in any circle.
"Jiangnan-san looks so cool when he plays the piano..." Morita Yui stood by the window of the private room, looking at Su Yu below, her eyes filled with adoration.
She raised her wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Miyamoto Ze has gone too far this time."
Although Miyamoto Ze wasn't on her side, his complete lack of consideration and aggressive move had already annoyed Morita Yui.
However, Morita Yui couldn't do anything for now because her father valued Miyamoto Ze. With her father's protection, Morita Yui dared not do anything to him, at least not until she secured her position as chairman.
...
Su Yu placed his hands on the keys and looked at the noisy crowd.
"Sad? I don't think any song can be sadder than this."
Miyamoto Ze intended to use his unique crying voice and tone to evoke empathy, but when it came to a crying voice, Su Yu thought of a song that would be very suitable.
With that thought, Su Yu played the first note.
"Ikanaide" (Don't Go).
This song had other versions on Earth, namely the Cantonese "Li Xianglan" and the Mandarin "Autumn Mood," covered by the God of Songs, Jacky Cheung.
Both were re-lyriced and covered using this melody.
Emotionally, this song was definitely top-tier. Every live performance by the original singer, Koji Tamaki, was considered a divine performance.
Moreover, even without understanding the language, this song could make people shed tears simply through its melody.
This was the brilliance of "Ikanaide."
"Nani mo mienai nani mo
(I can't see anything, anything at all)
Zutto naiteta
(I was crying all along)
..."
The moment Su Yu opened his mouth, the noisy sounds from the audience gradually disappeared.
Those customers still discussing Miyamoto Ze turned their heads to look at Su Yu, who was playing and singing on stage.
"This voice!!"
"Such a magnetic voice, with a hint of huskiness, ten times better than Miyamoto Ze's!"
"Nani? So standard, he actually knows Japanese?"
"Isn't this Ting Yu's voice? I remember his voice wasn't like this when he sang?"
"You guys don't know enough. Ting Yu's legendary performance was his versatile voice."
"Indeed, I followed him on Music King of the Era, then watched his performance in China. This Ting Yu has more than just this; he can also imitate female voices. It's just that I didn't expect him to know our Japanese language, and so standardly!"
The audience's initial reaction was the shock from Su Yu's voice change and his language talent, which also stunned everyone.
After all, Ting Yu's English was very good, and his Cantonese was also good. Now, another language was revealed, and it was so standard that there was no accent from any other country.
This language talent was enough to shock people!
"Dakedo kanashii n janai
(But it's not because I'm sad)
Atatakai anata ni fureta no ga
(Because I touched warm you)
..."
However, the shock given to the audience did not stop there!
The emotion of the song came very quickly!
As soon as the verse began, it entered a realm of unparalleled sadness. Su Yu's crying voice and husky, textured tone in the song felt like an invisible pressure, pressing down on everyone's chest.
Silence mingled with despair, and infinite suffering and sorrow!
It wasn't skill, but a true outpouring of emotion!
Su Yu's hands flew across the keys, then he slowly closed his eyes.
"Aa ikanaide ikanaide
(Ah... don't go, don't go,)
Itsumademo zutto hanasanaide
(Never, never let me go!!)
..."
As the chorus arrived, an unimaginable emotional explosion erupted in Su Yu's singing.
The use of his crying voice was like a lament that pierced the soul, exploding in everyone's minds!
The feeling was like a desperate man kneeling before a grave, crying and shouting, his despair driving him mad, with the surrounding silence offering no response.
So tragic!
So tragic it made their scalps tingle!
Even more absurd was that in these two lines, Su Yu's expression did not look overly distorted, giving a sense of contrast between his calm exterior and the tumultuous emotions within.
Private Room No. 5.
Several world-class producers peered through the window, looking at Su Yu playing and singing below, their faces full of bewilderment.
Sean: "Wadup!"
Jin Chengxian: "Siball!"
Miyamoto Ze: "Baka!"
A series of geographically characteristic curses erupted from the private room.
