Kyulkyung's "Summer of the Band" is a partner tour group. What do you think of the co-singing "Weekend Toys"?
Eight goddesses were invited to cooperate with eight bands in the Goddess Cooperation Tournament "Summer of the Band" broadcast on the evening of July 6th! The tour group band chose to cooperate with Kyulkyung on "Weekend Toys", and the music critics discussed the topic of "broken circle" at the scene. But we might as well listen to the tour group itself!
——————— The following is the tour group's self-report. Let's watch it together ——————
In this issue of Summer of the Band, we performed Weekend Toys, a work from a new album, Sense+. The motivation of this song comes from the city where we live together. The traffic is nine to five. People's lives are fast and hurried. They sit in cars stuck in the CBD, anxiously explore the window, fantasize about a surfboard under their feet, surf in the city with traffic, and walk through the sunset to the weekend party. These are the habits in the city.
In a performance in Hangzhou last year, Wei Wei danced La La for the first time, which has become the standard of this song ever since. But for this song, we still have a deep desire: there are many girls dancing with us on the stage, which is impossible for a band on a regular tour, and there is no more budget to hire so many dancers.

Fortunately, the band's summer gave us an opportunity to use such a stage to achieve the effect we want to present. Thanks to the directors of the band's summer. However, when we first put forward this idea, the directors didn't support it very much. Maybe they thought this form was "not suitable for bands", "not rock" and "too late".
But our attitude is clear. Why can't the band dance? Why can't you dance while singing? Changing yourself by others' opinions is the real "no rock". As for the result, we can't control it. Everyone has different preferences and different impressions, which is also the charm of the competition.

Regarding Kyulkyung, it was a unanimous decision to invite her. We wanted to find a young, beautiful girl who danced well from the beginning. The first two rounds are slow songs, so it is most appropriate to choose "Weekend Toys".
But this is also a risky choice. After all, this is the first time that Jieqiong has cooperated with the band. There may be many indie music fans who will wear colored glasses to look at the cooperation of this stylized impact. Of course, we can find some female singers who are more suitable for tour groups in music. This will be safer, but it will also be boring. We are eager to bring you more exciting performances, and such a good sound and light stage can't be "wasted".

and Jie Qiong rehearsed for the first time, and discussed the general framework in just two hours. She did a lot of homework, from writing the story line of the dance with the lyrics to adjusting the melody. The lyrics are really hard to memorize. Kong Yichan memorized his own words for three months, but Jie Qiong only had a few days.
I learned from the chat that she went to live and study abroad alone when she was very young, and she talked calmly and modestly. Her voice is sweet, she can play the pipa and drum set, and she has the temperament of a classical girl and the consciousness of Modern Times, which we have seen in her in a short time.
I didn't "drag my feet", but I was young and comfortable, very, very good! Besides, we gave her the identity of the lead singer of the tour group in this cooperation. Since she is a band, there is no concept of "who is dragging her feet". All the results, whether good or bad, are borne by the band collectively. If you feel bad, it is the problem of the tour group.
as for the result of this performance, regardless of the final score, we all think it is a very satisfactory performance. Ps. A cicada's dance needs more practice.

We would also like to thank Mr. Zhang Wei for complaining about our scores, and we are deeply moved by the professional music fan battle. When the predecessor of the tour group was founded in 1999, it didn't have its own works. We built up the fun and confidence of playing music by singing the songs of Huaer Band. We are very grateful. After 19 years, he is a person who stands at the commanding heights of entertainment. He is more tolerant of things than his name. I hope to have the opportunity to play music together!
