Let Wei Lian nervous to sweat, and finally even have to take off his hat T to record, let him laugh and said: "If the korean version of the last time was blindfolded, riding a unicycle also had to juggle three balls, the Japanese version is 'riding a unicycle and riding on a rope', which makes me feel like a needle felt, very nervous."

However, Wei Li'an's language ability once again received a super high evaluation, Shawn directly praised Wei Li'an mirror neuron is very developed, excellent imitation ability, Japanese pronunciation is very standard, Ma Yu praised Wei Li'an's Japanese pronunciation is "99.9% of the Japanese", compared to the previous Korean version, Wei Li'an said that the two difficulties are different, said: "The two versions are difficult in different places, and the pronunciation is more difficult in Korean, because there are more unfamiliar biting words and pronunciation to learn, The Japanese version is difficult to have three very good Japanese people in the studio, which makes me feel like a needle."
"If You Can" created many firsts, in addition to the first place in the charts, it was the first time he sang in languages other than Chinese and English, after singing the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese versions one after another, Wei Lian smiled and said: "I should not sing other languages again, this Japanese version is a complete merit, and it is the most special experience that "MoonLao"Chinese gave me!"
In addition, Shawn Shangrong, who is in the same door, sang for Wei Lian this time, which made him admit that he was under a lot of pressure, "But it is a great honor to cooperate with Wei Lian!" In order to give Wei Li'an the most correct pronunciation, Shawn, who is proficient in Japanese, spent 8 hours just recording the demo, he said: "Because Japanese is not his native language, plus he has been back to Taiwan for 2 years, he is afraid that his sense of language will run away, especially japanese has a lot of tone to deal with, which is also the most difficult place in the Japanese version." Very serious.
