developing process

Two members dropped out in the middle of the orchestra and two new members were added soon afterwards. Because of this change, it is generally distinguished by "the first phase" and "the second phase".

Phase I

Education 2004-2005

In the autumn of 2003, it was officially set up in the double six climax concert of Shin Ming Lin Mu, which was also the first performance of the Tokyo incident. The next year, he was invited to participate in the performance of the metheworldbeat 2004 and Fuji Music Festival, which set off a music revolution. In the same year, he published his masterpiece "Youth Day harmony" and wrote down the sales results of nearly 200000 copies. He successfully took the first step after becoming an army. He said, "this is my dream!". In the music video of "Youth Day harmony", the director uses the spotlight to match the original rhythm of the song, and uses the mobile spotlight to change the appearance of the members. This technology makes him win the award of best orchestra music video of the year.

Then came the second single, disaster. With a red flower on her head and a guitar on her body, she has a strong rock and roll flavor. With her neurotic voice, she excites a different spark from the electric guitar that seems to be playing an electronic erhu. In the music video of "disaster", Nao Uchino, the supervisor, used the concept of rotation to stack the members layer by layer and establish an alternative style. Meanwhile, the lead singer, Shin Ming Lin Mu, showed her good figure for the first time and danced with many dancers on Broadway. In response, she said, "this music video completely shows the original and different flavor of the Tokyo incident."

"What's the best way to educate the fans in Tokyo?" is the first of the two. As for this album, Lin Mu made such a comment: "this is a happy work like subverting self introduction.". During the recording, the members of the group had a lot of fun. With the bright red paper crane logo on the cover of the album, they began to play the famous cartoon "science flying man's Firebird". The lead singer, Ji Minglin, said with a smile, "it's addictive to play cartoons, so we decided to use the illustrative version of the publicity photo this time. The real people don't show up!" As a result, the inside pages of the album are mainly illustrated. It's a bit frightening that the band, which is so playful, spent only four days recording 17 songs related to the album and single. The cover of the album is just a red paper crane. The members hope that everyone can pay attention to "listening to music" and point out that the music of the Tokyo incident is as delicate as a hand folded paper crane. It is worth mentioning that in the future concert of the sixth song "service", all the members of the Tokyo incident team danced and sang with loudspeakers while changing their costumes on the stage, which set off the climax of the concert.

Later, the Tokyo incident began its first tour of "Tokyo incident Live Tour 2005" dynamite ", with the Tokyo incident version of the last single" song of apple "of Shin Ming lin-o's singing period as the opening song, which also officially announced the coming of the era of the Tokyo incident. However, the good news is that before the DVD of the concert was put on sale, on July 1, the piano player h Shi Du m and guitar player rihai ganyin announced their retirement from the team. Meanwhile, the official website also published a message to tell the fans, hoping that the fans would look forward to the second issue of Tokyo's events. They said that they had made such a decision before the concert tour.

So far, it is called the first Tokyo incident.

Phase II

2005 – 2006 adults

After two months of empty window period, the official website of the Tokyo incident announced that the two members to be supplemented were guitarist Fuyun and pianist Yiye Isawa, who were also musicians who had cooperated with shin Ming Lin Mu. At this time, the Tokyo incident was commonly known as "the Second Tokyo incident". Under the active invitation of the producers of "Da'ao", she completed the creation of "Shura hall" and published the single "Shura hall" in 2005, which shows the love and hate between women in a popular and lively atmosphere. The music video of this song is mainly white, and all the members of the Tokyo incident are painted white, with the effect of red blood and occasional wear With her wig and staring in a daze in front of her, the lead singer, Ji minglinqin, can't help but wonder that they not only have a high demand for music, but also are not careless about the visual effect of music videos. For the album to be released in the future, because she hopes that the album will be different from the version of the series, she asked the members to rearrange the music of Shura hall and put it into the album.

And the cover of the single is "Shiina Ringo is lying in a bottle of mosaic perfume." the album cover is the bottle of the perfume bottle. The perfume bottle is written on the album's English name "ADULT", so that fans can not help but think that the single and the album seem to have a special relationship. And when the member sees the cover of the single, he jokes, "if it's a small one," Wine bottles are better In addition, in the name of the Tokyo incident, she wrote the lyrics in English for the first time, which is quite different from the way she used to translate Japanese into English.

——Excerpts from the lyrics of "superstar" in Tokyo incident

After selling 100000 copies of the first single "Shura court" of the second issue of the Tokyo incident, they took advantage of the opportunity to release their second album "adults". With the addition of new blood, the Tokyo incident was surrounded by a strong Jazz flavor, such as "makeup" is Bossanova's lazy style, while "high-class noise" has the style of Psychedelic jazz and a bit of country music My songs. In addition to the Bossanova mentioned above, the music style of the album adds music elements such as funk, jazz, blues, and even traditional Japanese music. In addition to the wonderful performance of the members, the beautiful melody interwoven with various musical instruments, and the story like way of writing words, the album is as mature as its name. When she was interviewed, she mentioned the lyrics of some songs. She felt that "it's one of the main points of this work to let the audience explain the lyrics of this album." In particular, the album cover of the first and the ordinary dishes is made into male and female perfume. The lyrics of the first return plate and the usual lyrics are full of unique fragrances. The initial return is even more "Pleasescratchwithyourfinger." on the lyrics, which means that the listener can smell the fragrance on the lyrics.

However, it is more worth mentioning that "superstar" is said to be based on major league baseball star Ichiro Suzuki. After that, the two were invited to have a dream talk. Ichiro Suzuki mentioned that he didn't like the song when he saw it at first, because he didn't want to be a superstar in everyone's eyes, but when he heard the lyrics meaning "want to be someone's superstar", he fell in love with the song. However, in an interview later, both Fu Yun and Yize mentioned that because they had just joined the Tokyo incident, they had no way to extend their talents, which made them feel a little different. Taiwan just released the Taiwan version on Valentine's day. After hearing the news, she jokingly said: "in fact, this album is quite suitable for Valentine's day, because the whole album is like a love drama with crying and laughing."

After the Tokyo incident, he actively devoted himself to concerts, such as domestic! Virginline, a concert for fans to meet new members, domestic! Just can't help, a tour focusing on the second album "adults", and even the music festival "society of the cities" organized with other orchestras 》They are all well received by the public, and the Tokyo incident always made up old songs in concerts, which always made the fans crazy. However, for the venue of the concert, the Tokyo incident preferred small and medium-sized venues (Japan's Takeshima Museum, etc.), because they wanted to have close interaction with their fans. In addition, in the interview with adult, she said that she would concentrate on composing words and singing in the future, and the composition would be handed over to other members. Therefore, the songs in the next album did not have the works composed by her. In the concert, she also sang many songs composed by members, such as "dome tic!" just can't help "Mirror ball", in the hope that the future activities can focus on the members' creative repertoire. In an exclusive interview with the release of the sixth single in the future, she mentioned that "she would do this to prevent the deterioration of the orchestra, because she felt that his lyrics and music were mainly of certain types, while other members would fall into such a puzzle, thinking that whoever composed the music would have to arrange the music, resulting in the reduction of music diversity, while Dong's music was not
