Commenters Convene

The songs that Zhao Youyue had uploaded on NetEase Music were not really that popular. She was not a professional singer. She did not have the backing of an entertainment company that could help to edit and enhance her songs. Moreover, she had not attempted to promote her songs through various means. The most she did was to mention it during her live streams.

There are always lazy streamers. Some of them would even think this way: Since I have already heard all the songs during the live streams, why should I bother going through all the trouble to get on NetEase Music just to hear them again?

However, compared to songs that are sung during live streams, songs that are recorded properly in a recording studio tend to give off very different feelings. The latter would be better-suited for someone to quietly listen to when they are alone. This is why a lot of people would experience all sorts of joy when they listen to Ah Yu’s songs on NetEase Music!

Other than the songs, Ah Yu had also uploaded a few of her violin solos on NetEase Music. The magical, unique way in which she played the violin made her listeners feel like they have entered a whole new world —- —- was it possible for the violin to be played this way?

As we all know, many commenters on the NetEase Music platform always end up creating a lot of interesting threads. One person heard the violin solo, and went on to leave a comment saying “This person is quite good at playing the Erhu[1]”. Comments like these would always spark furious debates about Chinese and Western musical instruments. However, the original commenter was obviously trolling them. It was not possible for anyone to not know what musical instrument Ah Yu had used.

As for her rhythmic violin solos, someone had also left such a comment —- —-

“This is directed towards those of you who always comment after hearing Ah Yu’s violin solos. You talk about how your legs shake so much that they end up breaking, and say things like how you have replaced your prosthetic legs countless times. How fake can you guys get? Can your legs really break just by shaking? You guys are total shams. Well, anyway, that’s that. On a side note, doctor, could you please check if you can reattach my head?”

This was quite an interesting comment. It embodied Zhao Youyue’s rhythmic violin solos in an exaggerated manner, which showed how her violin solos were capable of evoking intense resonance within the hearts of the listeners.

This time, Ah Yu is the voice actress for Yu Shengfan in the popular anime “The Strongest King.” As the anime continued to air, Ah Yu’s dubbing slowly got more approval from the fans. Thus, the number of people who became infected with the “Yu Shengfan virus” also increased proportionately.

The “Parallel Galaxies” song from the anime was so good that many people from the audience expressed that they were still not bored of it yet, even though they had heard it countless times. When they heard that there were more of Ah Yu’s songs, as well as violin solos on NetEase Music, they all rushed to the platform. They instantly found Ah Yu’s music station, where there was a variety of covers of hit songs, as well as original songs written by her.

When the fans found that the other original songs written by Ah Yu were songs that were originally written by Chu Luoxun in “Beautiful April,” they were shocked. Did Ah Yu not only roleplay Yu Shengfan, but also Chu Luoxun?

At that moment, everyone suddenly remembered that Ah Yu could really play the violin like a Goddess. Her violin songs would draw in the general public like a lighthouse in a dark storm. As they listen to it, their souls would slowly slip into the magical world of music.

It was too bad that many people never got to see Zhao Youyue perform ‘live’ before. This is because the “spiritual music” contained in the “Chu Luoxun card” would only be triggered when the music is heard during is a live performance. Regardless of whether the music is played during a live stream, or recorded in a recording studio, a layer would impede the transfer, so listeners would not get its full effects.

Even so, Ah Yu’s talent in music managed to surprise all those who heard her music. They even felt sorry for Ah Yu. It was such a waste. A talented musician like her did not have a company to support her properly. She seemed far too indifferent towards fame and fortune. All of her beautiful songs would just be sung without filters while in live streams. Furthermore, they were uploaded freely on the internet, without any form of monetization. She was not even bothered to release an album!

After Zhao Youyue recorded the songs of “Sweet” and “I Left the Sadness to Myself,” she had also went on to record “Angel Wings” and “Just Happened to Meet You.” Naturally, the beauty of her music left even more fans trailing after her. The ‘aesthetic researchers’ of “Beautiful April” had also gone wild!
