CATDOLL: The right way to make money lying down. The author of the lyrics for the EVA theme song "Cruel Angel's Guide" earns 30 million yen a year

I have a wish, which is to lie down and do nothing every day, or do what I want to do, and still make a lot of money, that would be great! Today (September 11), I saw a news report saying that the author of the lyrics of the theme song "Cruel Angel's Thesis" of the popular Japanese animation "Neon Genesis Evangelion" (EVA) earns no less than 30 million yuan a year from this one thing. What's going on?

A successful animation work often has one or several well-known animation songs as a foil, from Gundam, Macross to The Idolmaster, LoveLive!, and the Neon Genesis Evangelion (EVA), which set off a social phenomenon in Japan in the 1990s, has a theme song called "Cruel Angel's Thesis" that can be called a divine song. This song has been at the top of the karaoke charts of Japanese animation departments for many years. So how high is the royalty of this song? The lyricist of "Cruel Angel's Thesis" Mieko Ikawa said on a TV show yesterday: "The royalties for writing the lyrics of this song are several hundred million. My ex-husband used this royalty to buy a karst cave in Turkey."...

Previously, Mieko Ishikawa once said that during the writing process of the lyrics of "A Cruel Angel's Thesis", she fast-forwarded and watched two episodes of the animation, and it took her two hours to write the lyrics. She had no interest in EVA and didn't know who was fighting who. Mieko Ishikawa said on a TV show, "Although I have no interest in EVA, EVA is indeed powerful, because "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" has brought me hundreds of millions of royalties. Every time I sing "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" in karaoke, I only get 1-2 yen in royalties. However, in more than 20 years, I have been able to earn more than 30 million yen every year from this song, and last month I only had 100,000 yen left in my passbook because my ex-husband spent more than 300 million yen to buy a karst cave in Turkey"·········No wonder Anno Hideaki holds on to the big tree of EVA, it is a cornucopia of money.
