After all, he is the only pianist who also performed original pieces in the preliminary round, and they were all rhapsody. It is difficult not to let the audience, judges, pianists, and netizens all put it together for discussion. Some netizens even said bluntly: Lin Tian, with his resume and background, was able to advance to the finals just because he played the same type of music as Nishikawa Yubai. Because, except for some fans. The vast majority of people, whether pianists or on-site media reporters, believe that "Croatian Rhapsody" is an absolutely world-class masterpiece, surpassing "Death of the Dawn" by more than a little bit. Even if Lin Tian's playing level is relatively poor, it can't change this fact. Then Nishikawa Yubai advanced. If Lin Tian didn't advance. It’s so ugly!
At that time, the media reports will become: "Sorrow of Dawn" made the cut, but "Croatian Rhapsody" did not make the cut. It just happens to be the same type of song. From now on, "Croatian Rhapsody" will really be immortal. In the next hundreds or even thousands of years, every time someone praised this song, it would be popularized. Oh, this is the piece. When it was performed for the first time, it was defeated by "The Sorrow of Dawn Night" in the 2025 Sakibon International Piano Competition and failed to advance. This is so embarrassing! Just like God of War 4 defeated Red Dead Redemption 2 and won the 2018 TGA Game of the Year. In the next ten years, whenever someone praised Big Cousin 2, they would use God of War 4 to beat the corpse. However, people actually had no ill intentions toward God of War 4. They mainly criticized TGA for being a fool. Sakibang International doesn't dare to gamble. If "Croatian Rhapsody" really becomes famous, it might be scolded for hundreds of years. Even if it is an exhibition match that everyone knows, we really don’t dare to make it so ugly. Only then did Lin Tian advance to the next level. This is the view of some netizens. However, it is disgusting for Nishikawa Yubai now. Now everyone agrees that even though Lin Tian's performance level is lower than Nishikawa Yubai's, the song actually beat him, and he won by a huge margin. From now on, whenever grand pianist Yubai Nishikawa shines with his original compositions in competitions, everyone will remember that there once was a talented musician named Lin Tian who crushed him with his masterpiece. From then on, there will probably be a dark cloud named "Lin Tian" hanging over Nishikawa Yubai's piano career. Every step forward, you will
Anyone else would probably explode. This is also why Japanese netizens are so impatient. [(It’s just a case of good luck, Nishikawa-kun will definitely make up for it in the finals!)] [(I’m just a newbie, and I don’t think my playing ability is that good, so it’s not worth mentioning!)] [(That is, his playing ability is really bad! Besides, there is no actual evidence that he wrote the music, right? Mr. Saikawa’s real opponent has to be Mr. Burke)] Japanese netizens attacked Lin Tian on Twitter for his two opinions: "his playing ability is not good" and "the music may not have been written by himself". For a while. The confrontation between Lin Tian and Nishikawa Yubai became a rage on Twitter. There were some extreme remarks. Lin Tian himself felt a little uncomfortable after reading them. Lin Tian put down his phone, feeling a little ashamed. Could it be that, after offending Yubai Nishikawa, as soon as he walked out of here, he would be attacked by extreme Japanese fans again? "." "Teacher Lin Tian." At this time, a voice sounded. Lin Tian turned his head. A man in a white suit broke the tranquility of the lounge and walked forward. What a coincidence. Lin Tian happened to have seen his performance and knew his name—— Nishikawa Yubai. "I wasn't in the same lounge with you last time, but this time I can finally talk to you." Nishikawa Youbai showed a kind smile and walked forward. The grand pianist's Chinese is surprisingly good. "My name is Nishikawa Yubai. I don't know if you, Mr. Lin Tian, have seen my performance. I also played a rhapsody on the stage last time." Nishikawa Yubai humbly introduced himself. "Oh, I have an impression." Lin Tian nodded, "Hello." Obviously, he made the other party lose face on the Internet last time. He just received a bunch of tweets praising him and belittling Nishikawa Yubai on Twitter. Now that the other party has come to him, Lin Tian still feels a little bit embarrassed. .
"Teacher Lin Tian, the "Croatian Rhapsody" you wrote last time was very good! I went back and practiced it by myself for a while. It is really a very, very good piece! Worth learning!" Nishikawa Youbai said sincerely and seriously. "Thanks." Lin Tian replied politely. Unexpectedly, this guy is surprisingly a very frank person. No wonder there were so many people standing around this old man during the welcome banquet. Not only was he strong, but he also seemed to have good social skills and popularity. Logically speaking, Lin Tian should politely reply at this time, "Your music is good, but I really can't praise it." When chatting with Watanabe Satoru, he gave an evaluation - not very good. As Lin Tian finished saying thank you, the air became quiet for a while. Nishikawa Yubai's expression was obviously a little embarrassed. After adjusting for a few seconds, he smiled again, "Alas! It's a pity that my song bumped into your genre last time. I was not as good as you. My song was not good enough and was suppressed!" It is not easy to admit that one's skills are not as good as others, and the one facing the younger generation is something so subjective as music. Such an open-minded pianist is rare for Lin Tian. No wonder he has so many fans! Hearing this, Lin Tian finally stood up from his chair and respected the powerful pianist in front of him. He said seriously, "Teacher Nishikawa, I didn't mean to offend you last time." "This time, I wrote a very niche genre. We won't bump into each other again!" "Really?" Yubai Nishikawa's expression was a little surprised, as if he finally got a long-awaited answer. "Really!" Lin Tian said. Although Sakikuni International tacitly did not announce the list of songs including other players to the contestants. However, the song Lin Tian took out this time was indeed very niche. Moreover, in this pop music-dominated competition, it is simply the most unpopular one. There is no way there is a peer. "It's a pity that I can't compete with you again." Xichuan Yubai tried to show a regretful expression,
and then smiled and said, "But I'm very happy to enjoy this final with you! Teacher Lin Tian!" Said, Xichuan Yubai stretched out his hand, "Please give me more advice!" "Yes." Lin Tian held it and nodded, "Please give me more advice."
