In the past few days, a lineup list of the third season of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" has flowed out on Weibo, although it is not an official announcement, these names are enough for the melon-eating masses to think about it, and the emergence of two of these names makes us feel like a world away - Zhong Xintong (Ajiao), Cai Zhuoyan (Asa).
17 years ago, Twins' debut Chinese album "Apprentice Eros" was released, which adhered to Twins' romantic and sweet style, set off a youth storm in the mainland with the campus and love as the background.
After 17 years, a group of young and energetic spokespersons have stepped into the music scene, but there are few surprises when Twins emerge, and this album, together with the former them, pressed the pause button for our youth.
2005: Girl's Starlight Amusement Park
At the beginning of the 21st century, the rapid twins broke many records in the Hong Kong music scene, and the first official album in 2002, "Our Commemorative Album", won ifPI's highest-selling Guangdong record, with this album setting a record for the shortest debut time in history to enter the Red Pavilion.
Until 2005, Twins had been crowned sales champions several times, and the two performing arts two had won many awards as actors, and they decided to enter the Asian market and launched their first Chinese album "Apprentice Eros".
The team of "Trainee Eros" is composed of senior producers Chen Zihong, Chen Wei and Zhou Shihui, who have been zhang Shaohan, Xiao Yaxuan, Li Wei and other senior producers who have produced albums, and the songwriting is to invite Fang Wenshan, Lin Ziliang, Li Zhuoxiong, Mayday A xin and other outstanding musicians to join.
In just ten days, "Apprentice Eros" sold more than 800,000 copies, and the ubiquitous portrayal of youth school life in the album, the sweetness and troubles of girl love, the cherished youth friendship, and the uncreative nonsense imagination bloomed with the infinite beauty of youth.
To determine whether a song is a fire or not, whether it has been on the Spring Festival Gala is the most direct proof. In 2006, Twins from Hong Kong, China, took to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, sang the album's eponymous song "Apprentice Eros", put on adult-like suits and long skirts, and the Twins at the Spring Festival Gala were like attending a graduation ceremony, announcing that they were about to fly to a bigger and farther sky.
If you want to pick a song to represent this album in "Apprentice Eros", many people will choose this picture-filled "Starlight Amusement Park". The sensitivity and warmth of the girl, the small tension and excitement in love, and the romantic and beautiful fantasy world are all vividly reflected in this song.
And these colorful emotions are integrated into the salty and sweet melody, composed into a song of girlish thoughts. "Apprentice Eros" exaggerates the sweetness of love, "Moscow No Tears" expresses the heartbreak of parting, and "Rats Love Rice" shows the cuteness of rhythm.
Although quanquan exudes a positive youthful atmosphere, listening to it now forces the audience to cry: this is the song of youth that belongs to our time.
2022: Adventures with the Wind and Waves
I don't know if Twins will become a new generation of "Lang Sisters", but these years, they are indeed writing their own adventures in the wind and waves.
At last year's Twins 20th birthday celebration, Gillian and Asa Mirror Chorus once appeared on the hot search, stirring up tens of thousands of discussions. The two men dressed in white gazed at each other affectionately through the frame of the mirror while singing the tearful song "The Next Stop Tianhou".
As a Cantonese version of "No Tears in Moscow", "Next Stop Tianhou" is more like a song tailored for Twins, "Tin Hau" is a subway station in Hong Kong, and also symbolizes the transformation of two girls into superstars, and the sour, sweet and bitter spicy in between is only understood by each other.
Therefore, the topic of #Twins Mirror Chorus Next Stop Tianhou instantly poked at the fans who listened to their growth, abandoning the costumes on the stage, and this version of "Next Stop Tianhou" is the most affectionate, full of the beauty of a thousand sails.
Twins, who do not often appear in the vision of Chinese mainland variety show lovers, also cooperated with their friend Joey Yung at the end of last year on the variety show "Because They Are Friends". The always shy and cute Twins are more open in front of their friends Zu'er, which makes people surprised that Twins also have such an extroverted side.
This show focuses on friendship journeys, and the guests invited in each episode are also not lacking in the circle of friends of three people, Nicholas Tse, Guan Zhibin, Zheng Xiyi... They were all regular guests of the Twins concert that year, and the reunion after many years made the old fans even more moved.
Earlier this year, Twins unveiled a new remix of the classic Strawberry Pear Apple Orange, and the more modern electronic rhythms are still enduring and pleasant, proving that Twins is still trying to break through the times.
17 years ago I loved them as invincible, and 17 years later I watched them ride the wind and waves. The time to listen to them is gone, and it is a kind of happiness to see them and listen to their songs quietly.
