Tyson Yoshi was interviewed after the event and said that he attended the press conference today mainly to support his friends, because the organizer had already supported him when he was still in TTN (This Town Needs) underground in 2019. He also said that in fact, he only got one song on the shortlist. , I forgot to submit my song for other awards, so I didn’t sign up. When asked if he was not interested in awards, he admitted that he was not really interested in it, because his music is in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin, which is difficult for the judges of major award ceremonies to systematically define and score.

A few days ago, the TONE Music Conference announced that the ticket sales for the “TONE Music Festival 2023” at the end of the month are in a hurry, with only about 30% of the tickets sold. Tyson said that in order to support his friends, if he was not working, he would buy a ticket and bring the whole company to support the event, laughing. I would like to ask reporters to bury the news. Talking about the slow-selling of tickets this time, he said that he has paid attention to cost control since he has done shows and stage productions, and said: “Sorry for the shows after June, April, and Local, it seems to be a bit of a dispute. The sales volume is not as crazy as before. I don’t think there is a problem with the organizer, but because everyone is really excited. I watched the show crazily before. Even if I am a wage earner, I will consider whether I don’t have money to travel or if I can’t afford to fly. Scalping is even more expensive. Showing three or four shows is equivalent to half a month’s food for someone who has just graduated. When there are so many shows in the family, they may really think more about it. The schedule may be changed at the end of the year. Another team of foreign or more popular artists will hold a show, and they will be cautious and careful with their money. I think the market is a little weak, and everyone is really exhausted.”

Tyson also pointed out that he had no plans to have a show this year, and he also imagined that if last year’s concert at Star Hall was changed to this year, the sales might be a bit reluctant. When a reporter suggested that he could be the host, Tyson said that he would definitely “take care of things” and was afraid of saying the wrong thing too quickly or accidentally using expletives. Earlier, he and Cheng Yuling (Sister Do) co-hosted a travel show, and he tried his best not to be rude. He also revealed that he accidentally cut off Sister Do’s line, “Sister Do wanted to have a chat with me on the phone before the trip to Jialan. Okay, when he called, I didn’t have his phone number. I saw such a pretty number and didn’t know where it was, so I didn’t listen. Then he messaged me first and wanted to talk to me on the phone, but Oops! I accidentally cut it. I’ll call her back first and give her a verse.” He pointed out that he had sent a text message to Sister Do saying happy birthday to her earlier.

Also present was Sun Xiaoxian (Kendy). She has released two Japanese songs earlier and will go to Japan for a show with her band later. She is currently actively learning Japanese and wants to greet local fans in Japanese. Kendy said that she was printing a CD in Japan when she released “Untitled Preface”. The other party suggested that she translate her Cantonese songs into Japanese, so she released a Japanese song, and the third song will be released later. Talking about her former collaborator Jaime Zhang who was recently accused of being betrayed and violently cheated by her boyfriend Phoebus Wu. Kendy had a date with him for a drink, but there was no romantic talk during the dinner. However, she saw that he was in a good mood and they were talking and laughing. , and praised the other person as a very talented musician with unlimited future.
