This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends
Chapter 595 - 409

Everyone was a bit confused.

A Chinese celebrity with no real fame, at least none of them knew about, came to Japan to release a Japanese album?

Never mind if it can be done or not.

In any case, it doesn’t sound very reliable.

Well, actually, people on the music platforms also think it’s not very reliable.

The reason they are paying attention now is firstly because of Wu Mu’s status in Hua Country. They are thinking that when it’s time, they can market the first Japanese album of a top Chinese celebrity and put his face on the cover, hoping to create some buzz.

Secondly...

"Mr. Wu Mu, I heard that your various music overseas rights haven’t been authorized yet?"

After expressing his interest, Sony’s director Matsuyama Shigeru asked.

"Sony has expertise in the operation of overseas music rights. The overseas rights of your friend Mo Mo’s music were also signed by us, Sony Music. We can definitely provide you with the best overseas distribution channels."

Compared to the still uncertain Japanese album that needs to wait for the show’s recording performance to decide, Wu Mu’s previous songs’ overseas rights are much more attractive.

Especially some of those English songs, which have unlimited potential.

Actually, because of this, Sony contacted Wumu Company early on. They noticed them when Wu Mu’s travel videos went viral on YouTube.

But Shi Wu felt that Wu Mu’s fame overseas was still on the rise and that selling the overseas rights too early would be unprofitable, so they held back and didn’t release them.

Wu Mu also noticed Matsuyama Shigeru’s greater interest in the overseas rights of his older songs, but he didn’t mind, "Let’s talk about this after the show’s recording is completed."

After a brief introduction, Wu Mu and the other guests continued to familiarize themselves with the venue, listened to the director walk through the flow, and tested the equipment.

Once that’s done, recording is just about to start.

...

As a purely music program, "Music Station" doesn’t focus on rankings or levels. The program’s mission is to share recent world pop music and performances by top singers with the audience.

It’s not the competition-style music show.

Therefore, not many people came to attend the live recording, only about a hundred or so.

Plus, there would be quite a number of courtesy tickets among them.

Asano Daishi was one such person. He is a well-known music critic in the Japanese music scene, contributing articles to various music magazines and newspapers, and is liked by many music fans for his deep musical insight and bold style.

"I wonder who will come today. Previously, there were rumors that SK12 and Hero Band would participate in the upcoming Music Station. I wonder if it’s this episode."

He thought as he entered. He really enjoyed participating in these kinds of music shows within the circle, especially Music Station, because it represents the current trend within the industry.

To appear on Music Station, it might not be guaranteed to be the best, but it definitely wouldn’t be bad, and it would be the hottest and trendiest at the moment.

If they’re not top-tier celebrities, they can’t get on Music Station, so many Japanese artists regard appearing on this show as a professional goal.

He walked forward, considering who the guests of this episode would be, when nearby voices caught his attention.

"I saw on Twitter that there’s been a quarrel backstage of the show."

"Huh? Quarreling? At the Music Station show we’re recording now?"

"Yes, apparently someone from Meteor Youth Group had a conflict with another guest, wanted them to leave, and was directly recorded and posted on Twitter by that contestant."

Asano Daishi: "???"

Question marks popped up in Asano Daishi’s head.

What kind of madness is this?

Backstage singers arguing, and it’s posted online!?

There were so many points to criticize that he didn’t know where to start.

He couldn’t help but look at the people who were talking; it was two young female audience members walking alongside.

One of the audience members also seemed surprised, "How could it be possible that such a thing would be posted... Did the production crew do it on purpose?"

"I don’t know, but the matter has already trended on Twitter’s hot list. I just saw it and haven’t clicked to read it."

The production crew, on purpose?

Asano Daishi shook his head. He was familiar with the style of the Music Station production crew, and they never seemed like they would hype such issues... But having a conflict directly posted online was too weird, too abstract.

"Who got into a fight with the Meteor Youth Group? I often listen to their songs and quite like them."

"I think it was a Chinese celebrity named Wu Mu?"

"Wu Mu? Never heard of him, was it on purpose?"

No impression came to Asano Daishi’s mind even after a round, leaning toward thinking if this Chinese celebrity was deliberately trying to gain attention.

After all, Meteor Youth Group is a world-famous Korean wave group, and getting into disputes with them could heighten publicity and attention.

Moreover, the Meteor Youth Group has been popular for so many years and has had no major negative incidents, very professional, so why would they get into a pointless argument?

Audience members gradually entered, and seating inside wasn’t restricted, with only a few rows, no fear of blocking views, first come, first seated.

Asano Daishi sat behind the two chatting female audience members, his eyes casually scanning the room.

Then, as he scanned, his gaze froze.

"Is that Sony’s Content Director Mr. Matsuyama? Yoshino from Apple Music, Atsuta from Line Music?"

He stared in amazement at the corner of the audience sector filled with a group of people.

As a professional music critic, he certainly recognized who these people were.

What’s happening, what are these people doing here?

His heart was filled with doubt.
