Tsuyoshi Nagasaki's concert

Today is a topic about music, musicians and the spirit of music, I thought about it for a few days, I didn't know how to write these words, my mind was full of pictures, but I didn't know how to organize the language.

Nagasaki Gang, which is the name of a well-known Japanese musician, said that many of us believe that many of us do not know who it is, but when it comes to the following songs, you may immediately remember its melody. Jiang Yuheng's "Cheers to the Past" was adapted from his "Cheers", and the song "Cheers" is still a must-play song for almost every Japanese wedding scene; "Red Dragonfly" of the Little Tigers, Xin Xiaoqi's "Don't Ask Old Wounds", and Zheng Zhihua's "Sailor" are all adapted from his songs. Born in 1956, Nagasaki debuted in 1977 and holds the record of 12 album sales in Japan, and is one of the few singers who have sold more than 10 million singles in Japan, and the total population of Japan is less than 130 million as of last year. In Japan, the name Nagasaki is a household name, and his influence has far exceeded the concept of idols!

Of course, what struck me the most was not these achievements and numbers.

Two days ago, I stumbled upon a video of one of his concerts, and at first I was attracted by the melody of the song, and then I searched for information about him, and I was shocked at once. In 2004, he gave a concert in his hometown of Kagoshima Sakurajima, a concert that was unique in history, singing from 9 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. the next morning! Nearly nine and a half hours! Seventy-five thousand spectators witnessed this unprecedented event! These seventy-five thousand spectators had been standing and reveling for nine and a half hours! In this concert, Chang Shugang sang a total of forty-two original songs, interacting with the audience throughout the whole process and singing in person throughout the whole process! The documentary director of the concert wrote that "at 4:30 in the morning, the concert has been going on for seven hours, And Nagasaki has just reached the limit of his physical strength, and the staff massaged him while giving him a drip to restore his strength as soon as possible, but despite this, Nagasaki just walked to the stage like a samurai looking for a home and returned to the battlefield, looking at his back there was an urge to cry..." I think this alone is enough to make us stand in awe! I would like to ask, throughout the world, which singer has ever had such a feat? I don't think it's too much to use the word "feat"! Nearly ten hours! Even if we only sit for ten hours, it may not be an easy thing, not to mention the whole process of singing, dancing, interaction, and yelling, I can hardly imagine what kind of spirit is supporting him, but it must not be for money!

Let's go back to reality and look around, I can't find an object to compare with him. I am also a person who likes music, I listen to all kinds of music styles, although I have not personally felt the atmosphere of large-scale live concerts, but I have seen many concert videos, but there is no one that can be described as shocking. The so-called popular music now is like a dying person who has been beaten to a heart, and the inspiration disappears in a flash, and the excessive hype, morbid creation, empty content, exaggerated singing, the whole world seems to be plunged into a black hole of nothingness. Aside from profit and lust, I don't see what our music is really trying to convey! More and more fat powder has erased the original meaning of music layer by layer, more and more strange expressions have distorted our thoughts little by little, and more and more songs and dances have made us lose the fighting spirit to move forward! I don't mean to denigrate our musicians, I just don't think we can make music an accessory to simple life! The fast-paced lifestyle makes us have no time to think about the meaning of life, and the temptation of overnight popularity makes us overdraw the value of life without principle, shouldn't we reflect on it?

We need music, we need idols. Let's say that this concert of Chang Shugang not only admires the dedication and hard work of the singers, but also admires the 75,000 spectators on the scene! The value of the singer is given by the audience, if only because they like to listen to music, no one will insist on standing on the spot for nearly ten hours, this is a test of the spirit of public music! There are too many people in this world who can sing, and there are too many stars in this world, but how many people really respect music and respect art? There are so many things worth thinking about, and perhaps, in addition to money and desire, we should also think about what we should leave for the world.

In fact, what is the use of saying this? Better to listen to music, at least, temporary pleasure is also very beautiful...

Oh, yes, Long Shu Gang, the word in the middle pronounced "yuan", flat sound.
