Monday, Osaka.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Junko Akiyoshi changed to Kansai TV on time to watch the saury feast hosted by the saury of the Akashi family. Last spring, after graduating from high school, she moved out of her home and began living alone.

A new life began, but the habit of watching the saury feast every Monday night was brought from the original big family to his bachelor apartment.

Junko Akiyoshi's hometown is a large family of six, and in the evening, the whole family sits around a low table and watches TV. If you watch other programs, you may still have disagreements about changing the channel, but if you watch the saury feast, then you can reach a consensus.

Akashi's saury is definitely a top star in the minds of Kansai people.

The guest of honor on this episode is actress Tomoko Yamaguchi.

Since the second half of last year, Tomoko Yamaguchi has taken over the baton to star in the morning TV series Kojun's support song, which is set in Kansai, and the heroine played by Tomoko Yamaguchi runs a hotel near Koshien Stadium because she likes baseball.

The morning drama starts broadcasting at 8 a.m. every morning, and the audience has always been housewives and the elderly, and office workers have already gone out.

Junko Akiyoshi, who works at a confectionery factory, is no exception, going out early every day and never watching morning dramas. Therefore, the face of Tomoko Yamaguchi is extremely unfamiliar, and the first impression is only "very tall".

For her, a native of Kansai, the reason why she didn't watch the saury feast in the first issue was not to see the guests, but to see the saury of the Akashi family.

No matter who comes, the rhythm of the show is firmly in his hands, and because of this, no matter who the guest is, as long as you like the way Akashi family saury is hosted, then you can watch it with relish.

She picked up her chopsticks and ate dinner while watching TV.

Living alone, there is a chattering funny artist on TV who talks endlessly, for Junko Akiyoshi, it seems to be a kind of companionship and comfort.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Junko Akiyoshi transferred the TV station from Mainichi Broadcasting back to Kansai TV.

Every Monday at 9 p.m., Kansai TV and Fuji TV will simulcast the Tsukijiu drama simultaneously, and tonight it will be the second episode.

Junko Akiyoshi watched the first episode last week, although it was a popular male and female idol starring, however, the plot of the TV series was not very attractive to her.

With the mindset of seeing how things go next, she decided to take another look

Fifteen minutes later, she was a little bored and began to switch channels between Daily Broadcast and Kansai TV.

This TV series really doesn't suit her appetite.

However, although the TV series is not appetizing, however, Junko Akiyoshi is not without gains. She is very fond of the theme song of the TV series, which is sung by a band called "Keep Moving Forward".

Previously, Miho Nakayama, the star of the TV series, went to the saury feast to promote it, and gave this single as a gift to the Akashi family's saury.

It's not often that Junko Akiyoshi uses "" as the title of the song, so Junko Akiyoshi was impressed by the name of the song.

When the Yuejiu drama started broadcasting, after watching the first episode, she was not very satisfied with the plot of the TV series, but she liked the theme song very much.

The catchy and refreshing melody, as well as the clear and crisp singing voice of the female lead singer, Akiyoshi Junko listened to it, and there was a comfortable feeling of clear spring flowing in her heart.

Other than that, what she liked the most was the lyrics of the song.

Junko Akiyoshi only went to high school, and when she was in school, she was not the kind of person who was outstanding in writing and good at expressing her inner thoughts. However, although people look a little rough, there is also a delicate place in her heart.

In her opinion, words that are too straightforward are too rude, too subtle and twisted.

And so do the lyrics.

But the lyrics of this song just poked Junko Akiyoshi's heart.

It's a little colloquial, but the wording is quite subtle, although it is subtle, but it is not twisted, and there is even a sense of straightforwardness. The content of the lyrics is full of a sense of life, and the first time Junko Akiyoshi listened to it in a TV series, she had the feeling that "these are lyrics written for ordinary people".

Although her life is simple, and the attitude of urban men and women who play life in the TV series is a little far away from her, she has a subtle resonance from this theme song.

But this resonance does not come from the TV series, but from the song.

After watching the first episode, Junko Akiyoshi took time out of work to go to a record store, found the single called Straight Forward, and bought it.

She had never heard the name of this band before, but unexpectedly, when she went to buy records, there were not only a few people in the record store who came for it.

On the shelves where a bunch of unknown singers are placed, it is the most popular of these singers.

Did they come to buy the record after watching the ninth of the month?," Junko Akiyoshi thought to herself.

Junko Akiyoshi has a friend who grew up together named Hitoko Fukada.

Unlike Junko Akiyoshi, who has not been stupid or smart since she was a child and is inconspicuous in her class, Hitoko Fukada is lively and frivolous, and although she is not very beautiful, she knows how to dress up very well, and she was quite popular among the boys in her class in high school.

After graduating from high school, Junko Akiyoshi went to work as a worker in a confectionery factory, and Hitoko Fukada, who wanted to be a beautician, went to a vocational school.

Although they have taken different paths in life, the two have not drifted apart, and they can see each other once or twice a week, have a meal, dance, and sometimes Hitoko Fukada also spends the night in Junko Akiyoshi's apartment.

This week was no exception, the two made an appointment, and after Junko Akiyoshi got off work, they went to eat teppanyaki together.

Hitomi Fukada talks a lot, and every time they meet, it seems that they have prepared a basket of words in advance and are waiting for a brain to be poured to Akiyoshi Junko. She is keen on chasing stars and has great powers, and she was able to catch up with Tokyo to watch the junior team's concert when she was in high school.

is also a loyal viewer of the saury feast, Junko Akiyoshi doesn't know anything about Tomoko Yamaguchi, but Hitoko Fukada knows everything about the plot of the support song of the TV series Kosumi starring Tomoko Yamaguchi, and also told friends that there is an actor named Toshiaki Karasawa in the TV series who looks very good.

For Junko Akiyoshi, Tomoko Yamaguchi is already a stranger, let alone Toshiaki Karasawa.

But she also listened with relish, and wherever Hitoko Fukada took the topic, she could either pick it up or accept it. In this way, it seems that the two friends like to watch the saury feast, and it is not for nothing that they like the saury of the Akashi family.

"Xiaoqiu, have you watched the new episode of Yuejiu?" asked Hitoko Fukada.

"I watched a little, though, a little boring. Junko Akiyoshi told the truth.

Hitoko Fukada didn't care either, and said to herself, "I think it's very good-looking, and I'm getting better." ”

Unlike Junko Akiyoshi, who is content to stay in Osaka, Hitoko Fukada has a deep yearning for Tokyo.

Osaka is the center of Kansai, so it goes without saying how prosperous it is. However, in Hitoko Fukada's eyes, Osaka, which is full of market flavor, no matter how prosperous it is, has a lingering rustic atmosphere.

Junko Akiyoshi has no doubt that her friend will go to Tokyo one day.

In the eyes of Hitoko Fukada, who has a dream of Tokyo, this TV series is exactly the scene in her dream, and it is not surprising that she likes this TV series so much.

"Speaking of which," Hitoko Fukada chatted about the TV series for a while, and suddenly mentioned: "The theme song of this TV series is great!"

Junko Akiyoshi casually answered: "?"

"Xiaoqiu, you must also think this is a good song!" Hitoko Fukada laughed, the two friends knew each other to such a deep extent.

Junko Akiyoshi admitted with a smile.

"When I watched the first episode, I just thought it sounded pretty good. Hitoko Fukada said, "However, after watching the second episode, when the theme song sounded at the end, I was a little moved." ”

"For example," Hitomi Fukada searched her intestines and scraped her belly, "it sounded just right in the place where it should be sensational. Of course, this song is not sensational at all, but it is a little energetic, and I want to rush forward like the title of the song. ”

Junko Akiyoshi smiled and listened to Hitoko Fukada's evaluation of this song, "I bought this single, Hitomi. ”

"Ahh ”

"But I don't regret buying it. Junko Akiyoshi said, "The lyrics are very well written. Moreover, the lead singer on the cover, Sang, looks unexpectedly a beauty. ”

Originally, with her impression, she thought that the band would not have a too beautiful female lead.

"Real people are also great beauties. Hitoko Fukada said.

Hearing Junko Akiyoshi's puzzled voice, he explained to her, "There was a male classmate at the junior college who said that he had gone to see the band's performance in Osaka before. ”

Listening to him, the lead singer Sang Zhenren is beautiful and has a good figure, and he is not inferior to the actor. Although she is a beauty, she is not arrogant at all, and she gives the impression of being quite affinity. ”

Junko Akiyoshi was stunned when she heard this, "Such a lead singer San?"

"That's the lead singer San. Hitoko Fukada replied in the affirmative, "After that male classmate watched the scene, he went to buy the band's singles, and he also worked hard to promote the band among his friends." ”

"Listening to what he said made me want to see the band live. "Hitoko Fukada, a star chaser, is not only interested in handsome guys, but also in all beautiful or handsome characters.

"Until then," she pondered, "should I buy a single too?" and looked at Junko Akiyoshi, and casually asked, "Xiaoqiu, lend me the band's single for a few days?"

"A few days is too long. However, if you go to my place tonight, you can listen to it for one night. Junko Akiyoshi said, "After hearing it, if you still like it, why don't you buy one to support them?"

Since it's a newly debuted band, sales must be important to them. Junko Akiyoshi thought that it would be good to have a little bit and let one more person support them.

Only then will they have a chance to send the next one, and more and more.

I finally had a favorite band.

"Okay, then listen for one night. ”

Hitoko Fukada agreed, "I'll buy one tomorrow tomorrow too." said with a smile, "Even Xiaoqiu said that he didn't regret buying it, which made people feel at ease with them." ”

The pair of friends moved on to their next topic.

After the first episode of the 9th month was broadcast, sales in the Tokyo area increased significantly that week, and although it did not rise significantly, it was also steady, selling 4,000 copies.

Compared with the 1,000 sheets that were pitiful at the beginning, it makes people feel comfortable when they see it.

When the broadcast continues on the ninth day of the month, presumably the number will rise.

At the time of the 4,000 sales in the Tokyo area, the Kansai side reported back sales of 8,000 copies, which was still far ahead. The propaganda that took the lead in Kansai sowed more seeds for them than in Kanto.

The seeds took root and sprouted, and as singing programs and TV dramas were broadcast one after another, more attention was paid to the Kansai side.

That's just right.

In the face of the sales and attention of the Kansai side, which is far better than the Kanto side, Iwahashi Shinichi pushed the boat along the way, and according to the original plan, took the results achieved in the Kansai side, and talked about publicity on the Kanto side in turn.

The topic is ready-made, "What is the magic of this popular band in Kansai?"

Singing the theme song for Yuejiu, Shinichi Iwahashi just grasped this point and took the opportunity to get close to Fuji TV.

Although he has a little friendship with Chihiro Kameyama, however, the different production departments in the TV station have their own business, and this relationship is not needed, so Iwahashi Shinichi took the band's report card and the topic of conversation in Kansai to negotiate with Fuji TV.

On Fuji TV's side, the prime-time night is a hot recording studio, and programs that require real money are naturally not qualified to appear.

After the negotiation, the first one to get to the band was the opportunity to play.

It's a veteran music that has been broadcast since the 60s.,Broadcast every Saturday night at 6 o'clock.,Compared with the prime-time music fan.,The overall set is much simpler.,It's not very entertaining.,Mainly singing.。

It is precisely because of the main singing that this music series also tests the band's singing skills.

However, there is an advantage that this show is recorded, which is easier for novices like Sachiko Kamaike who lack on-site experience to get into the state.

While he was negotiating an opportunity to make an appearance, the band began their tour around Tokyo.

This tour will have a total of 28 performances, which is not a lot of performances, but it is not a small challenge for Sachiko Kamaike, the rookie lead singer.

At this stage, she lacks experience, secondly, her level has not stabilized, and secondly, she is still in the exploration period of her personal style, which is not suitable for arranging high-intensity and high-intensity performances all at once.

During the tour, the team in charge of them followed the whole process and recorded every performance.

Iwahashi Shinichi, the chief producer, made an appointment with Sachiko Kamaike to see her, but because he was very busy, he couldn't say when he would be able to go to see her.

However, in his heart, he has full confidence in Sachiko Kamaike.

While Iwahashi Shinichi was looking for opportunities to worry about it, those music programs that were still unattainable were invited to initiate performances.
