Japanese version of "Friends"

Singer: Koji Tamaki Lyrics: Koji Tamaki

Cantonese version of Silent Eyes

Singer: Jacky Cheung Song: Koji Tamaki Ci: Chen Shaoqi didn't say goodbye to summer until the leaves fell all over the floor.

The white clouds in the distance are still silent.

I feel it is still growing in my heart.

Say goodbye to last year, it's winter again.

I have only watched the world change for a year.

There is a feeling of impermanence.

Oh ~ friend, I miss you.

This moment is particularly strong, we are so far away.

The faces of friends and children are written with the joy of life.

If we still love each other

Maybe there is another plot ahead.

Oh ~ friend, I miss you.

It is particularly strong at present. After so many years.

Oh ~ friend, I miss you.

At present, it is particularly strong, so far away.

Friends ~ (1) finishing

The first hit song "Dear Friends" designated to challenge the music idol Koji Tamaki's works.

The difficult singing method of "The Power of Silence" sang your heart and mine.

Junko, with amazing creativity, chose to return to the role of singer in this album, challenging one of her musical idols, the famous Japanese creator Koji Tamaki's work "Friends" as the first title song. For Shunza, singing idol songs is not only a tribute to idols, but also a great challenge to singing skills; Because the cover should not only sing the spirit of the original song, but also sing its own characteristics, which is more difficult than singing its own songs.

In addition, Koji Tamaki's songs are famous for their beautiful voices, but in a quiet and melancholy atmosphere, it is quite difficult to deal with how to make the songs just fit the artistic conception of music and impress people without becoming sluts. Even Junko, who has rich singing experience and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer, couldn't help shouting: "This song is particularly difficult to sing! ! "However, straight people are straight people after all. In singing, she successfully mastered the "silent power", a singing method with endless aftertaste and powerful power in silence.

The Chinese word "Dear Friend" was created by the famous poet Yao Qian. After breaking up for so many years, there are more and more feelings in my heart. Seeing the faces of my friends and children, I still can't help thinking, what would the plot be like if they were still in love?

Curious, when expressing such lyrics, who is Junko's imaginary object? Junko said, "I am imagining Koji Tamaki, thinking about how he will interpret this song, how to sing it to capture his taste, and how to sing it without losing face." However, the staff who had the opportunity to hear the Shunza singing version first said that Shunza really sang the helplessness and grievances of that relationship described in the lyrics, as if missing a lost lover. In the simple and clean piano accompaniment, Junko's singing is pure and restrained, which seems calm at first glance. However, as the melody goes on, it gradually reveals a deep sadness, as if the feeling of missing is completely transformed into a sound, which penetrates the listener's emotion and makes the people who hear this song deeply miss the lost lover and distant friends.

At the end of the year, it's time for everyone to send cards to each other and greet their long-lost friends. For Shunza, who was born in Beijing, grew up in the United States, studied in Europe and had friends all over the world, singing this song at this time is of great significance. This "Dear Friends" is the best theme song to accompany you when you miss your long-lost friends, recall the lost love, reminisce about the old times together, and fall into the memories you have just visited.

(2) MV

Shoot the music video of Dear Friends and watch the sunrise and sunset with antiques.

Despite the difficulties, DJ Dennis and Gigi came to help.

The plot of the music video "Dear Friends" is about Junko and his friends coming to the seaside, recalling the past at the seaside, watching the sunrise and sunset, and deeply attached to each other. This is a "acting test" for Shunza, because you not only have to make the angle and movements required by the director, but also lip-synch with the music that is twice as fast, and the lyrics have to be verbatim. What is more difficult is that when the lips are facing the lyrics quickly, the expression must remain sad and affectionate, and the performance misses the "inner drama" of the past. Junko said with a smile, after the filming, my personality is splitting!

The shooting process of this music video was full of twists and turns. The crew originally planned to shoot in the northeast corner of the sea, but it rained heavily at four in the morning. The director had to cancel the announcement temporarily and planned to shoot again the next day. Unexpectedly, the rain stopped after dawn, which angered the director and the staff. After the next day, God was still ungrateful. It began to rain the night before, so the director had to postpone it again and shoot in the shed instead.

In order to create a seaside scene, the director transported two trucks of sea sand from the seaside to decorate the studio into a vivid beach scene; In addition, he borrowed a million-dollar black antique Mercedes-Benz 280 sports car from his personal relationship, and let Junzi sit in front of the car and perform a nostalgic plot of reminiscing about the past and missing the lost love.

In this music video, DJ Dennis, the night cat of Hit FM, and DJ Gigi newly released by Fresh release are invited as the protagonists in the music video Dear Friends. In order to be straight, the two DJs deliberately overcame all difficulties. After hosting the radio activities in the evening, they rushed to the studio to take part in the filming, and stayed up until 7: 30 the next morning.

Dennis, who listened to the music and listened to "greenery", said that in China, hard R&; B, soul music sings so well that it is straight, so the broadcast rate of straight songs in his program has always been high; Moreover, Dennis's first job related to the entertainment industry was to perform for the audience sitting in the front row in Shunza's MTV, so he can perform for Shunza again this time, and of course he has to overcome all difficulties to participate in the performance. Gigi also said that she usually hosts programs and activities. This time, she had a chance to perform on MTV, and she was a favorite. She felt very honored and excited. Even if the shooting time was rescheduled several times, they still cooperated with each other and had to shoot.

Because the record company adopted a low-key way to promote Junko's album, except for live singing, program previews and interviews were compressed to a minimum. I hope everyone will pay full attention to the music of Junko. When they heard the publicity strategy of the record company, the two DJs called on the fans and friends at the scene to support genuine good music with actions, so that the good songs of Shunza can continue to be sung for everyone.
