"I think Yu Wei is going to completely ruin our livelihood. Does anyone understand?"

Sakura Music producer Ryuichi Yamada once again gathered his musician friends, his tone slightly helpless, clearly indicating that he was truly at his wit's end.

To the average Sakura resident, Umekawa Kuko is an interesting fictional character, but to them, Umekawa Kuko is a complete competitor.

It is said that art has no borders, but artists do, and the same goes for music. Although Yu Wei's Japanese songs are good, he is, after all, an outsider.

With this cultural barrier, no matter how outstanding his Japanese songs are, they are not "orthodox" and cannot threaten their status in the Japanese music scene.

They won't say that fans are xenophobic, but that's the truth; people always feel a stronger sense of belonging to their own people.

Who would have thought that Yu Wei would pull off a "rebirth by borrowing a shell"—he doesn't need to be a Sakura singer, but he can create one.

Although it's just a virtual character, judging from netizens' comments, they clearly approve of the "Meichuan Kuzi" cherry blossom singer persona.

Don't underestimate the act of recognizing virtual characters; once this ideology takes hold, people can easily adapt to it.

Although Yu Wei's previous Japanese songs were popular, they only stayed at the level of "overseas singer".

This song, "Loser," has been treated as a pure Japanese song and has even become synonymous with recent Japanese pop music.

When Mei Chuan Ku Zi is mentioned, many netizens feel a sense of pride: Sakura singers have such high status in Chinese works, they are proud of it.

Yu Wei not only used a character from a novel to help the "imitation" achieve cultural recognition in the cherry blossom world, but he even made everyone thank him!

This operation can only be described as ingenious; they probably wouldn't have thought of it in their entire lives.

Even if you think about it, you can't do it. How many people in this world are proficient in both writing and music?

This is Yu Wei's blatant conspiracy: when the singers he writes about become famous, his works will become an integral part of the mainstream music culture of Sakura.

Using the guise of writing a book for cultural infiltration, and ultimately replacing it, is truly a vicious scheme...

Are we going to lose our jobs to virtual singers?

Yu Wei can't take their jobs, but Mei Chuan Ku Zi can. As a cherry blossom singer, she transcends xenophobic prejudice and is qualified to compete with them on the same stage.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Arranger Yuya Nakamura is a veteran Yu Wei fan and has been following Yu Wei for a long time, so he is indeed the most qualified to speak on this matter.

"Just in case you don't know, Yu Wei just arranged for another female singer named Cherry Blossom."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the meeting room plummeted to freezing point. No, arranging one wasn't enough, write two?

Female musicians, led by Sato Emi, are getting restless. Just now they were thinking, "Let's just write, anyway, Meichuan Kuzi can't replace our path."

Who would have thought Yu Wei would react so quickly, wanting both male and female voices, chasing after them to kill them, huh?

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact; Yu Wei is planning to wipe them all out in one fell swoop...

"Don't worry too much. Loser is good, but it's not easy to write a female vocal work of the same level."

Ryuichi Yamada cleared his throat. Yu Wei's Japanese songs are all clearly male narratives and are more suitable for male voices. Female songs are not so easy to write.

It's absurd that writing a female character can lead to a corresponding song; he's not Superman... If Yu Wei had continued writing "Meichuan Kuzi" and delving deeper into the same genre, they would have been genuinely worried. But now that Yu Wei has taken the initiative to change tactics, it has actually put their minds at ease.

We'll have to wait and see what happens. Luck won't always be on Yu Wei's side. If he ruins his own reputation, that would be even better.

With continued attention from readers and industry professionals, Yu Wei revealed the title of Matsushita Morisa's work in the novel for the first time the following day.

"Renai Circulation" is a fairly conventional name, at least it doesn't carry the "aggressiveness" of "Loser".

Even just by looking at the song title, everyone can guess what it's about, but despite that, Sakura fans are still very much looking forward to this song.

This must have been their first time experiencing "novels coming to life," which is quite different from what readers in China are used to. The process of guessing the content of songs based on the plot descriptions is quite novel and interesting.

"The story says that tough guys must listen to this, is it because it's so inspiring?"

"They're already in love, how could it be passionate? It's probably written for muscular guys (doge)."

"The angel next door fell in love with me, a muscular guy."

Chinese and Japanese fans have differing opinions, but at least in their expectations for Yu Wei's new song, they have reached a rare consensus.

Two days later, the song was officially released on the newly registered account of Matsushita Morisa, with simultaneous updates in Japan and mainland China.

This is the result of negotiations between the music association and Sakura. They don't allow the creation of alternate accounts, so Matsushita Morisa and Umekawa Kuko really did register as virtual singers.

Yu Wei has created many characters, but these two are truly among the first to have accounts and exclusive representation, which can be considered a complete breakthrough of the dimensional barrier.

At the same moment, fans of both artists simultaneously clicked on the new song. Wasn't it "Love Circulation"? They wanted to see what kind of circulation method it was...

Just as they were anticipating what the prelude would be like, a clear, girlish voice broke the silence.

"せーの——"

Without any prelude, the "ready" signal the start, followed by a blend of upbeat electronic sounds and music box-like melodies.

It was only then that everyone realized that the so-called "must-listen for tough guys" was actually a cute song...

The girl's voice was cute and sweet, completely unrelated to the word "macho man," but the listeners' bodies told them otherwise; they stood there stunned for a long time and none of them wanted to change the song.

This melody is so catchy!

Although Yu Wei's works are all catchy, there are differences in how catchy they are. This song is so catchy that the first few lines alone can be etched into your DNA.

"でもそんなんじゃだめ(It won't work if this continues)
もうそんなんじゃほら(Look at it if it goes on like that)
My heart is already for you.
It's getting deeper and deeper. "

Her sweet voice is like cotton candy wrapped in popping candy, light and playful with a rhythmic quality. The dreamy atmosphere created by her singing instantly evokes an animated scene of cherry blossoms falling.

The lyrics were so straightforward they were almost clumsy, and netizens thought to themselves, "This is too blunt," but the sound in their headphones made their heart skip a beat.

The melody flows incredibly smoothly, with each phrase ending with a slight upward inflection, carrying a coquettish anticipation that makes you want to hear the next line.

The song's performance utilized a full chest resonance, adding a touch of sincerity to its sweetness, making it irresistible to listeners.

Now you know why this is a must-listen for tough guys; it's like a feather gently tickling your heart—a sensation that even tough guys can't resist… (End of Chapter)
