Chapter 121 Please update more often Time has come to May. The music world suddenly became very lively. The first to arrive at the battlefield was Girls' Generation's first sub-group, TaeTiSeo. After the album "Twinkle" was released globally through iTunes, it achieved a good result of fourth place in the US iTunes album comprehensive chart. This has already broken the highest record of Peninsula singers on this list, which shows the power of the empress. Immediately afterwards, the national sister IU returned with her new album "Twenty Years Old Spring". The song "Peach", which she composed herself, immediately ranked second on the Gua Chart once it was released. The reason why it is stuck at No. 2 is naturally because the promotional video of the first episode of "THE FIRST TAKE" some time ago gave "Haru Ai Sakura" a lot of momentum. Fortunately, IU's comeback this time is a gift to her fans, and there will be no publicity or promotion.

Otherwise, her new song would have been overshadowed by her collaboration with Jin Shiming. I don’t know whether she should be happy or depressed? The next day, the first episode of "THE FIRST TAKE" was uploaded to BD Entertainment's YouTube channel on time. Kiwi in the mainland also updated the program video as soon as possible. U Aina and Swallowtail Butterfly in China are just like celebrating the New Year, they are so ecstatic. The influx of a large number of fans even quite intuitively boosted the growth of Kiwi's new registered users. After clicking on the video, there is only a standing microphone in the dim background. Suddenly, a thick vertical line appeared, dividing the screen in the middle. The vertical line shrank, revealing the complete shape of the Arabic numeral "1", and then split into the program logo of "THE FIRST TAKE". There are no fancy special effects, nor any BGM, it is just a very simple contrasting color design, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of high-end texture. Especially the number "1" which represents that the program is only recorded once, which invisibly raises the style of the program to several levels. After the program logo appeared, the dim background suddenly lit up and turned pure white. At the same time, the first episode's guest IU entered the screen from the left. She did not wear the gorgeous and dazzling stage costume, but was dressed in casual private clothes. Her hair was not well-groomed and she wore a baseball cap, so it could be said that she was almost completely bare-faced. IU appeared in this natural makeup that she wears in private, which immediately caused a lot of fans to be amazed. "Ah~~~ baby Jieun, mommy loves you!" "She is worthy of being the national sister, so pure and cute, I really want to pinch her cheeks!" "The exquisite makeup on the stage is beautiful, but I prefer Jieun's pure and innocent look. She is simply the white moonlight in every boy's mind!" "It can be seen that our friendship with Er Feng is really strong. If not, why would we come to visit in such a casual manner?"

"Everyone remember to type "match" on the public screen!" "Stop making noise, stop making noise, just listen to the music quietly!" "Yes, this is a music show. If you like to act crazy and matchmake, please get out!" …… After a brief opening self-introduction, the video included clips of IU auditioning and warming up her voice. For fans and audiences, it is quite novel and allows them to learn about the details of their idols' habits that are usually not shown in front of the camera. "The way our Jieun opens her voice is to just 'duh~~~' there, naomukiyo!" “I’ve noticed that many singers seem to like to do some stretching exercises before recording.” "Is it because the monitor headphones are pressing on my head that I'm wearing headphones but I don't take off my hat?" "Why should the microphone be positioned a little higher than the mouth? When singing, the head should be tilted slightly upward. Does this posture make it easier to sing?" After IU was ready, she made an OK gesture to the outside of the camera. The camera then panned to the other side, where a pair of slender and beautiful hands pressed on the black and white keys, and clear piano sounds rang out. In order to avoid overshadowing the main theme and allow the audience to focus on the song, Jin Shiming's face was not shown. Including the scene of him playing the piano accompaniment, it was just an interlude and only appeared for two or three seconds. The camera turned to IU again. At this moment, she had her eyes slightly closed, and a sweet smile was on her slightly chubby face. Her left hand was behind her back and her right hand was raised in front of her, with her outstretched index finger moving up and down to the beat. "You always attract my attention. I never get tired of looking at your fair face. How do you do it~~~" As soon as IU opened her mouth, her voice was clearly transmitted to every audience member's ears. Such high-quality sound quality is partly due to the excellent equipment provided by Sony. On the other hand, this is thanks to the rule of the show "THE FIRST TAKE" that no additional audio processing is performed. The singer's vocal characteristics, including every breath, every word, and even the subtle granularity of the sound, were all preserved! The audience was so immersed in the purest music that they even forgot to post comments. It was not until I finished listening to a song that I excitedly shared my feelings. "Mom, listen, there are fairies singing!" "The sound quality is amazing, it feels like Jieun is singing to me in my ear. I strongly recommend wearing headphones to enjoy it!" "Jie Eun sang the song "Peach" with a happy smile and the most gentle voice. Even through the screen, we can feel her love for Sulli! I hope both beautiful sisters will get better and better!" "What a pure song! The singing voice, the piano accompaniment, and the emotions conveyed by the lyrics, everything is so beautiful!" “It is no exaggeration to say that this is undoubtedly an auditory feast!” “Is this the charm of THE FIRST TAKE? I love it!”

"I have always been resistant to KPOP and thought that Peninsula's songs were very noisy. I didn't expect that there are such beautiful and pleasant ballads!" About half a minute is reserved in the middle of the video to warm up the next song. At the same time, it can also give the audience a buffer so that they can digest the aftertaste of the previous song. The camera turned to the electric piano again. This time, Jin Shiming, who was sitting in front of the piano, appeared and greeted the camera. The scene moved back to IU's side, and she was seen sitting on a chair with an acoustic guitar in her arms. In the long shot, the two people sit back to back, facing the microphones on different sides. Some love-sick people and CP fans screamed like groundhogs when they saw this scene. "This is the first time they have appeared on the same screen together since the MV for 'Spring Love Sakura'. So sweet!" "Help! These two are fighting!" "You are such a perfect match. Can you please get married right here?" "I'll go move the Civil Affairs Bureau over here right now!" However, the vast majority of the audience chose to listen to the song quietly. Jin Shiming and IU did not disappoint them. This version of "Spring Love Sakura" highlighted the lyrical vocals more than the original. The fresh beauty of spring, with everything growing, cherry blossoms in full bloom, and men and women about to fall in love, suddenly comes to mind. "The technique completely serves the song, and the voice completely serves the emotion. This is what singing is all about!" "There's no need for fancy stages or messy segments. This pure form of music presentation still has a lot of fans willing to watch it!" "Those haters who complain that Jieun's singing skills are bad and that she is unworthy of her position, after watching this episode, can you still criticize her? If you have the guts, let your God also appear on "THE FIRST TAKE" and let everyone judge whose singing skills are worse!" "Great! I love this kind of project! I'm so happy to hear a different interpretation of the original song! Please update more!" "Who would watch this episode? I advise BD Entertainment to quickly record 10 or 20 episodes. Don't be ungrateful!" "Great, no need to say more!" (End of this chapter)
