MIRROR members Liu Yingting Jer and Li Junjie Jeremy were recently invited by the famous Japanese music channel THE FIRST TAKE (TFT) to film a one-time performance in a one-shot manner and sing “When the Human Stars Shine”. This is the second time a Hong Kong singer has appeared on the TFT channel after Chen Baiyu.
Speaking of this TFT video, Jer and Jeremy are still very excited, excited and reminiscing. Jeremy said: “I am so excited, because I am doing this on a foreign platform, and the song “When the Human Stars Shine” is so difficult to sing. singing, so excited and nervous.” Jer also said: “TFT is an affirmation of singers, and they have the ability to sing up and down (Jeremy: Haha! Praise yourself!) Seriously I usually go to the Internet to watch, and there are many singers I usually listen to, so it is an honor to be there, and I must be my own song, and I think it is an achievement to unlock.” “When the Human Stars Shine” is a song about people The song about the relationship between people, Jer expressed his desire to share love and gratitude through this song, saying: “When the Human Stars Shine” is a song that is almost suitable to sing to the big world, so Jeremy and I sang hysterically, Take your heart out.”
For this duet version, Jer, Jeremy and the team all made new arrangements for the song, including the arrangement and harmony part. Jer said: “This time the arrangement is more simple and clear, because the TFT version is like walking away. With some seasonings, the most original dish will be tasted for music fans. You will hear the singing when you taste the taste. So this time, using the simplest piano, a few drums and guitars to compose the music is another feeling. Moreover, it is a test of duet singing skills, because of such a concise arrangement, singers have to control more techniques.” Jeremy also agrees very much, and said: “It is really like an exam. Sister Hua also said to wait for the children to finish the exam and get out of school. In addition to the arrangement, the chord part is also different, Jeremy explained: “Because this time we are not arranging the song with the original chord, so the chord cannot be the same as the original one. It took a long time before the recording. Key points of interpretation, constant adjustment.”
Talking about the interpretation of Jer’s works, Jeremy said that he himself likes “When the Stars of Mankind Shine” very much, but this time it is a more lyrical version. It’s so big and powerful, so that the song itself already has a very strong image, how do I join it, and Jer put the voice first? This is a place I’ve thought about for a long time.” Jer also revealed The two were serious and nervous about this matter, and said: “Because you can’t make mistakes if you have a take, we practiced beforehand, and then went to class with the teacher to practice singing. The night before, we also practiced in the room until 1 or 2 o’clock. When I actually entered the recording studio, I saw the usual TFT production scene, and my heart beat immediately, but the take during the recording was the most Feeling, feeling and emotional.” Jeremy also agrees, saying that he has not entered the state during the daily practice, But at the moment of the recording, he was completely immersed in it, and he felt it in the expression. Jer even said that he was also moved when he sang Chrous 3. It felt like he was preaching love, and the on-site staff felt the same way!
Both Jer and Jeremy have watched a lot of TFT videos in the past. This time I experienced it myself, and Jeremy felt: “Ah! So that’s what it is! It’s because Focus has let me down, and I’m getting more nervous because you feel so Usually there are special lighting and stage effects, which makes me feel that I have to do better.” Jer also said: “Usually on the stage in Hong Kong, there are audiences singing in chorus with lights, but this time no audience wants to show their emotions. It’s the first time to infect the audience through the lens, and it’s the first time to sing this song overseas, which is very unforgettable.”
