Bendo Ru Ru's Artistic Experience

Bendo, 1976 was born in Shenyang, China.

Recalling her childhood, Bendo felt that she lived to sing, and her musical talent came from her mother's enlightenment.

Bendo is the only child in the family. She likes singing and performing since she was a child. The reason why she likes singing so much stems from her mother, a music teacher who loves music very much, and because she is an only child, her mother pinned all her hopes on her. My mother has been her most loyal fan and teacher since childhood. Often after class, my mother left me in the classroom to practice songs, and then I went to Liaoning Music Art Normal School. In his spare time, he studied vocal music with the music professor of Shenyang Conservatory of Music. When I was in the fifth grade of primary school, I performed at the school Spring Festival party and was praised by everyone. I felt the joy of enjoying applause on the stage for the first time, so I became the man of the hour in the school. Since then, there have been many occasions for hosting various campus performances. Looking back on his eight years in Japan, Bendo feels that his life can be described as "choppy" in Japanese. The ups and downs are like sprinting, and there is no chance to breathe. The days are squeezed like "compressed biscuits".

1992 to start a new life in Japan

1992, RuRu 16 years old. Move to Japan with my mother. My mother strongly hoped that Bendo would immigrate to Japan, but she didn't even speak a word of Japanese at that time, and she was very resistant to going to that completely strange place in Japan, but at her mother's insistence, she went to Japan anyway.

I felt deaf when I first went to Japan. Ben said that her Japanese is self-taught, because the real environment does not allow her to go to school to learn Japanese. She had to work as a temporary worker to save money for a living. Bendo encountered many setbacks in the process of finding a job. Usually, when applying by phone, they will be explicitly rejected. "We don't need foreigners!" Let her self-esteem be greatly hurt; She used to wash dishes in Lamian Noodles's shop and serve in high-end cafes. Winter in Japan is very cold, and her hands soaked in ice water all day are hurt by this! A year later, she gradually got used to life in Japan. Love singing, she also seized the opportunity to participate in some singing competitions to accumulate strength, hoping to have the opportunity to develop in the Japanese art world and realize her dream of making a record, but the process was not very smooth. Many times it seems that there is hope for a movie to be released, but it ends in vain while waiting. What impressed me the most was being told not to show the film on the eve of its release, which was really a big blow to Benduo. Feeling that all hopes were dashed, I shut myself in my room for three days and nights without eating or drinking! This shows Ben Duo's enthusiasm for singing!

However, she performed very well in the singing contest. 1993 participated in the "foreigners' ballad contest" of Tokyo TV station and entered the final. 1995 1 participated in the "First Karaoke Competition for Chinese Living in Japan" sponsored by KDD International Telephone Company of Japan and won the first prize. Bendo sang the song "For You" in Mariko Takahashi and won a prize of 200,000 yen. She gave it all to her mother, who spoke for KDD for three years in a row. Mr. Wu, the organizer of the competition, expressed his appreciation for the passionate and energetic singing and performance. 1In May, 995, he signed a contract with her, not only arranged for her to take vocal lessons, but also let her go back to China to travel around China with the China Art Troupe and sing pop music. He also cooperated with Hideki Nishijo as the host and choir of his mainland tour, so he became good friends with Hideki Nishijo.

She also played "Cai Xiaoling" in the Sino-Japanese cooperation series "Shanghainese in Tokyo", performed the series with SMAP's Katori Shingo, played his classmates and so on.

It is said that if she succeeds in music, besides cultivating her mother, she is the "president" Mr. Wu. Over the years, he has been playing the role of a father, not only helping her to plan her own music future, but also teaching her a lot about dealing with people. 1 In March, 1999, Japan's "Various Asakusa Bridges" program launched a special planning unit for newcomers' draft, hoping to cultivate a performance group through the devil training of this unit, and set a strict audition goal:1. After the special training, the release of single CD must reach the top six in Japan's ORICONG list. 2. I released a single for four months in a row ... and so on. Encouraged by my agent, Bendo sent her demo to the TV station and was immediately informed to attend the interview. During the interview, Bendo won the favor of Tsunku, the producer of the program, with a difficult song "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston, and stood out from 16 people, and selected eight candidates to go to San Francisco for a 40-day special training.

It is worth mentioning that Bendo once said in an interview with a producer that the popular Japanese girl group "Morning Musume" "sings badly!" The remarks quoted by newspapers and magazines as "explosive" also aroused the voices of fans of Morning Musume at that time, but with the continuous broadcast of the program, Ben Duo was deeply loved by the audience for his straightforward and independent personality. Eight people selected for special training in the United States were divided into two groups, Sanfran and Sisco Moon. Shoot for 40 days, report your experience before going to bed at night, and regroup during training. Bendo was finally chosen to form the "Sun and Moon" with three other girls, and was assigned to Chicago for a 20-day special training to train singing and dancing alone.

Bendo admits that the training process is very difficult. She dances for more than 12 hours every day and can only sleep for 3 hours. Sweating profusely, a dance has been rewritten six or seven times. I have to remember these steps and film them for the producer Tsunku to make a final evaluation. When I got home, my feet were so swollen that I couldn't even put on my pants, and I almost died. But with the passion for singing and the workaholic motto of producer Tsunku, "Stop and die!" They still managed to finish all the training.

This unit won a warm response from the audience after it was broadcast in Japan. It was originally expected to be a unit for half a year, but it was done for more than a year. Many fans have also begun to notice the rising stars of this group of singers. At this time, Bendo also had his own FansClub website, and the number of people surfing the Internet exceeded 10,000 in one month. Only Bendo established a personal website among the members of the group.

1In April, 1999, Sun Moon finally released its first single with the same name, with Tsunku (the lead singer of shooting disorderly Q) as the record producer. Moreover, the album sales reached more than 350,000, ranking fourth on the Japanese ORICONG list. In the next four months, the members of the troupe released their own singles one after another and achieved very good results. Finally, in February, 1999 and 1999, all the new artists' awards including cable broadcasting award and record award were included. The popularity of Sun and Moon can be said to be in full swing.

Generally speaking, members of artists' groups will suspect each other and compete for places, but there are few "sun and moon". They are used to solving each other's problems in intensive discussions and even disputes, and don't leave their emotions until the next day. Other members are Japanese, one is a gymnast who participated in the Seoul Olympic Games, the other is Xiao Cuomei, the ultra-young mother of the second generation of Japanese folk songs and a professional folk singer, and the other is from Osaka, who used to be a member of an idol group. Their relationship has always been very good, even if the group is dissolved, Bendo still keeps in touch with them. They also continue to struggle in the Japanese art and energy circles.

Bendo believes that the biggest gain from participating in this special training is that she learned how to coordinate with each other in groups, because she never thought that she would develop as a group when she entered the art and energy industries. After more than two years of training and group life, Bendo deeply realized the honor and disgrace in the group and the taste of * * *. Only when the group is good can individuals play better! The four of them have their own personalities and insights into the future, but they have completed a more perfect performance in repeated discussions and disputes. In more than two years of training, Bendo has really seen the Japanese professionalism, such as being serious, cautious and positive, and everything goes according to plan. And deeply affect her attitude towards everything in the future!

In the eighth single "A Mirage at Noon" released by Sun Moon, producer Tsunku called them to a meeting. He thought they were strong enough to develop independently, so he told them that the group was about to disband. So in June 5438 +2000 10, Sun Moon held three farewell concert in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. In the touching scene of mutual blessing and encouragement, Bendo began his new musical journey. This special planning unit of "Various Shallow Grass Bridges" was broadcast in Taiwan Province Province a few months later. Yao Qian, the director of Viking Music, saw it once and was deeply impressed by this Shenyang girl with warm singing, straightforward singing and extremely explosive stage. She also called Japanese TV station to inquire about the recent situation of Bendo, and the TV station replied that the unit had ended, so she could not contact Bendo. After that, Yao Qian went to new york and Japan for a business trip, got to know Bendo under the recommendation of a friend, signed a record contract, and then began to prepare Bendo's new album, and Bendo's road to Chinese music officially began.

"I want to have a place in the Mandarin music scene!" -A date with grandma. For Bendo, these years are like a top. Bendo, who has made a splash in the Japanese art world, has always been obsessed with it, hoping to have the opportunity to sing Chinese songs one day. After all, this is her mother tongue. When she was in Japan, her hometown in Shenyang promised the old man who loved her most to sing songs that she could understand, and successfully returned to Shenyang to make her grandmother proud. But when she went to Taiwan Province Province to actively prepare a Mandarin album, her grandmother died before listening to Ben Duo's Mandarin songs. Sad Bendo has therefore strengthened his determination to sing Mandarin well one day and to sing an enduring song on the music stage of the Chinese world to comfort his grandmother.

Shortly after signing the contract, Bendo flew to Taipei to set a new record. When she first arrived in Taipei, she couldn't adapt to the humid weather that rained almost every day and the loneliness in a strange environment when she was in the first day of junior high school. However, the thought of having the opportunity to let Chinese people all over the world hear her songs filled her with fighting spirit. After all, after so many years of training, she has become very strong and can better meet the oncoming challenges! Bendo sang the original intention of years of struggle "beautiful mood". Because of Ben's unusual experience, Viking director Yao Qian tailored the theme of this album "Beautiful Mood" for her. The lyrics mentioned that "the rainy winter has finally passed, the sky is slightly blue and the sun is shining." I read the diary written at that time in the fresh sunshine in early spring, "Love once gave me a beautiful mood like a deep scenery …" is a portrayal of Benduo's mood for a while, and the original song of this song is Miyuki Nakajima's song, which also reflects Benduo's China and Japan.

As the beautiful mood sings: "Only if you don't regret doing it, you will have a beautiful mood tomorrow". I hope everyone can feel Ben Duo's song "Beautiful Mood" with the same warm heart after knowing Ben Duo's struggle story!

Benduo's first Chinese album-Beautiful mood

Even if the scene was changed to Taipei, Bendo maintained his high enthusiasm for music and work attitude when he was in Japan, and practiced singing in the company as soon as he got the song. Seriously, even my colleagues in the company gave their thumbs up.

Bendo said that because of her work habits in the past two years, she felt "going to move!" I feel alive.

Because when I release an album single in Japan, the lyrics are often recorded half an hour ago, so I have to go to the battlefield to record it immediately. This album has been practiced for several weeks, which makes Bendo very satisfied. Because Bendo made full preparations every time, although it was the first time that she entered the recording studio alone after her solo flight, she was a little nervous at first, but after entering the recording studio once or twice, Bendo immediately entered the state, and the accompaniment process of the whole album took only one month.

Chorus is the happiest thing for Ben Duo. Because singing has always been the way she feels most confident and can master. And because this album includes Japanese R&; B song's royal producer, the new king, the producer of golden songs, the lyricist named Tian Hou, and the most sought-after producers Ma Ma and Chen Wei all worked for her. Being able to cooperate with first-line musicians in Japan and Taiwan Province Province has given her confidence in the music of her first Chinese album.

In my impression, Bendo's backup singer first met the famous producer jim lee. She said that jim lee is very different from the serious and unsmiling Tsunku. He gave her a new concept: music should be done with the ability of "playing", so just "playing" when singing!

She remembers that when recording the first song "Who's Afraid of Who", jim lee asked her to sing a numb and cold voice expression, but she couldn't get into it. Later, the producer simply asked her to turn on a small light and squat in the recording studio to feel left out. Sure enough, after she was cold, she sang an OK!

"Your eyes are as enthusiastic about singing as Yamaguchi Momoe!" . Thanks to Teacher Ma behind the scenes of the King of Heaven, she has great confidence in her enlightenment!

Although she has learned to sing with many teachers, Bendo thinks that Xiao Fen has the greatest influence on her. The teacher respected her unadorned singing, but it also made her gain something new. Xiao fen's constant encouragement made her more confident in her voice performance. When she first met Ben Duo, Xiao Fan once said, "You look like Yamaguchi Momoe", which surprised Ben Duo very much.

Because in Japan, the famous Japanese producer Long Long once said to her after watching her performance: "You have the enthusiasm when Yamaguchi Momoe debuted in your eyes!" Bendo is very excited, thank you very much for their encouragement!

When singing the title song "Beautiful Mood", Ben was worried that he was too mature, because the original song was Miyuki Nakajima and the singing method was mature. However, because the new arrangement made Ben feel very good, she immediately entered the delicate atmosphere of blue sky, raindrops, nature and good mood, so Teacher Xiao Fan asked her to sing "Feeling Right". Finally, the teacher and staff even stood up and applauded!

This is also Bendo's favorite song in the whole album!

"How did you sign up for such a good singer!" -The heartfelt words of the talented creator Chen Wei.

Chorus "Today's Blessing, Tomorrow's Loneliness" and "A I Shi Te Ru Fall in Love" are in producer Chen Wei's own recording studio. Bendo thinks that Mr. Chen Wei is like a child. He attaches great importance to feelings and makes her happy to "sing" and "play"! And "A I Stroud falls in love with you" is a song with three different singing methods, which is sweet, cool and expressive, which also makes her addicted to singing! After singing a few songs, Chen Wei couldn't help telling the staff: How did you sign up for such a good singer?

Touched! Japan R&D Corporation. According to the contract, Ken Hirai? royal producer Kenzo Matsubara's sexy voice produced Lonely Game.

Bendo also has many good friends in the Japanese art world. Yuan Xian, a producer like Ken Hirai?, the new king of Japanese R & nbsp;, especially appreciates Bendo in Sun and Moon. He also promised that if Ben released more Mandarin albums, he would definitely write one more song for Ben. Sure enough, he wrote the song "Lonely Game" for her as promised this time, and invited the famous Japanese mixer Kawamoto to make post-production mixing in private studios in Ken Hirai? and Songyuan. Matsubara, who heard this multi-lingual song, said that although he didn't understand Mandarin, he really didn't understand it.

After the album was sung, the first thing Bendo did was to dedicate the album to her mother, who was of course the first fan audience. For many years, my mother has been carefully collecting the photos and sequels of each performance of Bendo. After listening to her album, she was happier. She listens to her own songs repeatedly every day and learns to sing along with them. She is happier than Ben herself!

Although he has rich experience in taking photos and making music videos, Ben Duo can't hide his excitement when taking photos for his new album and shooting "Beautiful Mood" MTV. Moreover, taking photos in Kenting was the first time she left Taipei when she went to Taiwan Province Province. When she went to other places in Taiwan Province Province, Bendo was so nervous and expecting that she couldn't even sleep.

When I arrived in Kenting, it was sunny, just like Hawaii, not like Taipei at all. Ben likes to show his most beautiful parts, so it is not awkward for ordinary newcomers, and it is not difficult to show his limbs in photos and music videos. Bendo said to himself, "I hope I will always be so beautiful!" " In the background of beach, dock and sail, Bendo swam freely and finished her video!
