Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Qi Luoan leaned back in the large leather chair, wearing listening headphones, his gaze fixed on the figure on the other side of the glass.

I have to say, watching Yu Wei record songs is definitely a treat. She was completely captivated by this guy every time she came...

That kind of expression and aura of being completely absorbed in music is a powerful weapon for any young girl in love, and she was caught off guard and fell for it.

Following the formula of old-fashioned idol dramas, this place should be called "Love Begins in the Recording Studio," as each visit marks a major breakthrough in their relationship.

The most obvious change is that the first time she came, she could only stand outside as a doorman, but now she can sit on the sofa with her legs crossed.

Now, everyone at Firefly Chinese Language School calls her Sister An; that's her reputation.

Just as she was reminiscing about the past and feeling overwhelmed with emotion, Yu Wei started singing across the soundproof glass.

Qi Luoan and Hong Hui held their breath simultaneously. Although it was a Japanese song, Yu Wei's productions were always of high quality, and they were ready to enjoy the music.

Yu Wei's performance completely surprised them. After the intro started, he suddenly started tearing his hair out like a madman.

The next instant, he started banging his head against the microphone stand...

No one, including Qi Luoan, had any idea what was happening. At this moment, Yu Wei seemed to have gone mad, looking extremely strange.

In their haste to stop them, they heard Yu Wei sing the first note.

With a clean voice and perfect technique, Yu Wei's performance was clearly flawless. His strange behavior... was probably to get into the song called "unravel".
After discussing it with the sound mixing team, Hong Hui decided not to interfere with Yu Wei's "state" for the time being. Is this what they call becoming one with art?
Although it is indeed a bit abstract...

Qi Luo'an's heart had just jumped into her throat. Having spent so much time together, she had never seen Yu Wei show such a twisted expression.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was having an attack. You can only say this guy is really bored. Who would sing like that?
"Tell me, tell me, tell me the structure of it"
PUの中にWho is it? (Who is in my body?)

壊れた壊れたよこの世で (It’s broken, it’s broken, this world is broken). "

Although Yu Wei's actions were flamboyant, the lyrics were quite fitting, and his shoulders began to tremble as the second melody rose.

Yu Wei's voice changed.

No longer the skilled and pitch-perfect powerhouse singer, but a blood-stained scream torn from the depths of his chest.

With the song paired with his actions and expressions, Yu Weiwei perfectly portrayed the "pain," which can only be described as shocking.

His fingers slid off the headphones, grasping helplessly in the air, like a drowning person trying to grab onto a piece of driftwood that doesn't even exist.

At this moment, Qi Luoan really wanted to curse his "driftwood". Yu Weike had never been so abstract when recording songs before. Obviously, this time he wanted to make it come alive.

Don't ruin your perfect singing image!

She didn't know about others, but for Qi Luoan, this scene was indeed a bit abstract, giving her the feeling of a familiar person having a fit of adolescent delusions.

If it were real, she would naturally feel sorry for the other person; but once she found out they were acting, it would be impossible for her to keep a straight face...

"moving it
(I can't move! I can't move! I can't move! I can't move! I can't move! I can't move! I can't move!)

Yu Wei suddenly clenched his right fist and began to pound his thigh with it. The dull thud was transmitted to the control room through the microphone.

With each blow, his voice became more piercing, as if the syllables were being forcibly torn from his wounds.

The sound reached a critical point at this moment, and then, on a certain syllable, the sound suddenly broke off.

It wasn't that he couldn't sing the high notes, but rather a literal break—a sound like a wild beast's roar emanated from Yu Wei's throat, painful and ferocious. Hong Hui and the others were immediately captivated by this divine performance. They had listened to sorrowful sobs and ecstatic vibrato during tuning, but they had never heard such a sound before.

This is a mournful cry that uses the vocal cords as the last line of defense, exerting all its strength before completely collapsing.

It hurts, it hurts too much!
Qi Luoan was the only one who managed to suppress the urge to laugh. Art is art, and perception is perception. This performance was indeed amazing, but it was just so funny.

If the song hadn't been so interesting, she would have suspected it was performance art...

Yu Wei finished the last verse almost breathlessly, each word imbued with physical pain.

When he walked out of the recording studio, he was greeted by the admiring gazes of the studio staff and Qi Luoan's malicious smile.

Yu Wei wanted this effect. From a musical point of view, "unravel" is undoubtedly quite shocking, but the general public does not need to appreciate music, so it is not a bad thing for it to become an abstract symbol.

Qi Luoan's idea was basically the same as that of netizens. A few days later, when "unravel" was officially released, everyone felt that it was extremely abstract.

After all, this song, with its hysterical screams and overly dramatic lyrics, is a comedic phenomenon on the Chinese internet.

We're all longtime fans of Yu Wei, but have we ever heard him sing like this before?

Amidst the shouts of "Wash the seaweed!", netizens finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"The beast that was sleeping inside me has awakened. My God, this is exactly me."

"That cracking sound was indeed the finishing touch."

"A work suspected to be from the late stage of Yu Weizhong's second illness."

"Fun fact: I am only human."

"Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier?"

This art isn't exactly groundbreaking, but it's still incredibly catchy for netizens. When did this cringeworthy, dark, and sadistic youth come about?
So, shortly after the song was released, "unravel" became the background music for parody videos, just like Yu Wei remembered.

Hellish jokes, joy turning to sorrow, prank videos, humanity's utter defeat... This song is everywhere, but none of it is truly painful.

Despite being a song about "pain," it mostly serves a comedic purpose.

In contrast, "unravel" was a huge hit on Sakura, with the song resonating deeply with its audience.

Especially when they heard the phrase "教えてよ教えてよその士组みを", they just felt that they were questioning their own hearts.

In reality, we always live behind a mask, afraid that others will be disappointed if they see the real us, just like the lyrics say, "I'm not broken."

The contradiction of wanting to be understood yet fearing being seen through is quite real.

That roar was the sound they dared not utter from their hearts!

People in Japan are very accepting of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), and given that there is more negative sentiment on the other side, it's not surprising that this kind of disagreement arises.

However, both sides reached a high degree of consensus on the evaluation of "unravel": "It hurts, it hurts so much."

The Sakura audience was truly heartbroken, while domestic listeners were actually expressing: pure joy, pure bliss! (End of Chapter)
