shenshen saturday #4!

presumenothing…well, Sunday today, technically. But I wanted to finish a second gifset before posting, and also what is time anyway!
Moving swiftly on.
Sixth song and first non-solo release of 2022 – the eleven minute long all-stars version of…
- 一起向未来, 1 Feb: MV on YouTube
Which makes the second Olympics-related ensemble song he's appeared in (the first one being 致敬勇士 from September) and the third overall after 出场 last week.
Solo videos from the recording: chorus and high notes section (fuller version!), with an in-context cut here. Plus Chang Shilei gushing about him. Overall, pretty good content for such a famous-people-crowded song!
-
- Above the cut: special appreciation for the denim(?) jacket Jiangsu TV bestowed unto us! (Or, to steal elenothar's tag on Tumblr: #as threatening as a ball of fluff 🐯)
- This extremely hilarious moment from the interview for CCTV's online gala, featuring the yellow jacket I have mixed feelings about.
- Plus an old one to round it off: this description of his 2020 self… which only got even more applicable with his number of songs in 2021 XD
-
recs (note: some videos may contain flashing effects)
*wildly tossing confetti* English songs time!
Which is a theme I set myself after too much CNY music this past week… not that it actually helped me narrow things down much given how many he's covered at some point or other, despite only(?) having three English singles of his own. Anyway.
- Another pair of performances, this time actually related by dint of being from Bilibili's New Year concert: This Is Me from last year and Just Like Fire from this year… which I've already mentioned before as a gifset, and hey, gifset for the first one too!
- This performance of Vincent from last year's 616 performance, which literally only falls short of perfection because… well, it's short! (Tmall why!) Plus the YT video version has some skips apparently due to copyright reasons (once again with feeling: why!), thank goodness for Bilibili. (audio-only version without the skips for completeness, including the second song No Fear In My Heart which is a whole other rec on its own)
- And finally: Blow, which he's covered multiple times on his livestreams since before his debut! Most recently on his 2020 birthday livestream, which I'm embedding here… although my favourite version is this two-track cut on Bilibili edited together from a pre-debut 2014 livestream because the harmonies in the whole last 40 seconds?? Um. Hello???
………why did Bilibili accidentally became the secondary theme of today's recs XD
-
watchlist (note: some content may be unsubbed)
So much content:
- CNY message to fans! Featuring 望's BGM for extra feels. (text translation here)
- More CNY performances: Mashup duet (Ring Ring Ring/把门开开/茉莉花) with Da Zhangwei and 和光同春 first live (extra CGI edition) on Dragon TV, 你看起来很好吃 on BRTV, 雪花落下 with figure skater Chen Lu and 错位时空 with Yang Hongji + two(!!) choirs on Jiangsu TV, and finally 生活总该迎着光亮 ensemble edition on 百花迎春
- Assorted behind-the-scenes and extras: BRTV performance filming, studio CNY photoshoot, Douyin update… the list goes on.
- Super-speed CNY wishes via Florasis!
- Another live performance of 好好生活就是美好生活!
- Jiangsu TV full interview, or: 过年期间不要有趣 只要有压岁钱那就够了! And also the entire Tsinghua section from 14:00 onwards, I am laughing so hard.
- A rare bowtie moment!
- *interrupts his own interview to be a polite ball of sunshine*
- NEW 橘子辣访 INTERVIEW! I've been dying to watch this since I first saw the notification because the 2020 interview was also earthshatteringly hilarious and it did not disappoint. Their editing. Impeccable!! Showstopping!! Memeworthy!! If they're trying to suffocate me with laughter it's succeeding. There are tears in my eyes.
- Second in the most-hilarious-this-week rankings: Bilibili interview! (volume warning for the intro music around 40 seconds in) The Da Zhangwei imitation, haha, I'm glad they did get to perform together! (Not least because the first I heard of Da-laoshi was from Zhou Shen mentioning his comment on Masked Singer during An Exciting Offer S2. Yes, I almost-automatically like people who are unconditionally nice to him, what of it.) B站 interviews are always extra fun for how relaxed he seems on them. Plus I haven't forgotten the beret outfit, bless them for that!! ALSO OMG ONE LINE OF 二专 IS THIS THE REAL LIFE 深深做个人呗送二专啊 (or another Lang Lang collab, I'll gladly take that)
Upcoming:
- Apparently he's gonna be doing some Olympics-related broadcasting on 16 Feb?
- Also: backreading his Weibo posts and more gifs once I recover from that deluge of content, whew.
Have a rawr-some(?) day/week/month/year/other unit of time ahead! goes to download even more videos to gif
