Chapter 381: Five and a half million

It has also been more than a month since the release of this mini album by Okay.

So far, it has sold about 280,000 copies, and not only the first batch of 200,000 copies has been sold out, but the first batch of additional 100,000 copies is also about to be sold out, so the second batch of additional orders has also been shipped.

From the release of the mini album to the present, its highest ranking on the chart is only third, which is not so strong, but, with a good reputation, it has achieved more than twice the initial sales in the long stream.

Judging from the current situation, when the tour officially starts in September, relying on the momentum of the tour to slowly accumulate, the final sales will be more than 350,000 copies.

But even the current result is enough to surprise people.

However, compared with the mini album that has been flowing for a long time, Ye Zhao's personal single, which was released a week later, successfully exceeded one million in the next week, and so far, it is only one step away from 1.5 million.

In this way, the cumulative sales of records released in Ye Zhao's personal name this year have reached nearly 5.5 million copies, even in this golden age of records, a singer who can sell so many records in one year is really remarkable.

Of course, it is only eye-catching, and there is no "abnormality". Because like him, who has sold more than five million records just over halfway through this year, there are also Mr. Kids and Globe.

Even further back, last year's dream come true sold more than seven million records a year, and B'Z, the big brother of Ye Zhao's record company, maintained a record sales of about five million (or more) records a year.

Since the advent of CD as a storage medium in 1982 and then in 1988, the 8CMCD appeared, and it was from here that the Japanese record industry opened the door to the golden age of recording for more than a decade to come.

In the 90s record market, miracles happened all the time, and no one knew when a new record would be created and what new heights it could reach.

The so-called golden age of records, nothing more than that.

However, in view of the fact that the combat effectiveness of male singers has always been inferior to that of female singers and band groups, Ye Zhao, who "fights alone", is particularly rare and precious.

With this year's three hit singles, in less than two years, Ye Zhao's total record sales have exceeded 10 million. In the ranking of singers' total sales, this number is nothing, but if you count the field of male solo alone, it is already an absolute leader.

Especially now that he is in a state of infinite upward prospects.

On July 30, Ye Zhao, Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi, the three of them went to Okinawa for a vacation together as planned.

Okuda is an avid fisherman, and it is said that one of the reasons he decided to disband his band, Unicorn, was because the band was too busy to go fishing.

In the original history, as the producer of Puffy, he also left a legend of "no time". That is, because I was busy fishing and didn't have time to sing, I gave all the good songs to Puffy to sing.

Another member of the band, Yoichi Kuramochi, has used "socializing is to play golf" as a mantra, and since he mentioned that he wanted to teach Ye Zhao to play golf, he has been thinking about when to take him to play.

As the youngest and youngest in the band, Ye Zhao is naturally on both sides and mud, and said bluntly: He is very interested in these two things, so it is better to go to a place where both sides can be done.

Okinawa's rainy season ends in June, a month earlier than in the Kanto region. At the end of July, it happens to be the super tourist season when tourists go to visit and vacation.

Golf is a social weapon, and office worker Hiroshi Nohara often spends his weekends and holidays playing with his boss, and in the entertainment industry, big names are happy to choose this sport when they get together.

However, this time, they came over just to play a normal game.

Okinawa is home to golf courses on small islands and many well-known fishing spots, making it a familiar place for Okuda Minsheng and Yoichi Kuramochi.

But for Ye Zhao, this island is still a bit special, this is where Nakama Yukie was born and raised, and the first time he came to Okinawa was because he received her invitation.

But this time, when there was no way to coordinate the schedule, although I came to my girlfriend's hometown, I didn't have a girlfriend to act as a guide here, and I was not accompanied by beautiful women, but two thirty-year-old men with unshaven beards......

Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi are also very interesting to get along with, although they came to Okinawa together, but there is no intention of accommodating each other's hobbies at all, when Kuramochi Yang took Ye Zhao to play golf, Okuda Minsheng ran to fish alone, and in turn, by the next day, the situation was exactly the same.

But even so, the relationship between these two people is very good. In other words, it is because of this that the relationship between these two people is so good.

"My girlfriend's father worked in the ocean. When he went fishing with Okuda Minsheng, smelling the sea breeze in Okinawa, Ye Zhao remembered this and said it to him casually.

"Really, good job. ”

"However, when you go out to sea by boat, you have to be floating on the sea for a long time. "It's still hard.

"That's right. Okuda nodded and teased, "How is it? Now that you have arrived in Okinawa, do you have any plans to visit your home?"

"Even if you don't ask this kind of question, Okuda-san knows it. Ye Zhao sighed.

Okuda Minsheng's laughter was as bold as his unshaven face, "That's right, although I have been married to my wife for a long time, when I pass by her hometown, if I am alone, I will not come to visit." ”

After playing golf and fishing, this trip to Okinawa has been greatly satisfied for Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi, and of course, it is also a very fulfilling and pleasant holiday for Ye Zhao.

However, after that, Ye Zhao proposed to the two of them to act alone, so they would return to Tokyo a day later, "There is a place I want to go shopping." ”

Kuramochi Yoichi had no objections, but Okuda Minsheng casually asked, "Does Ye Jun have a plan?"

"Yes, yes, no. Ye Zhao thought for a while, "I'm going to go to Ishigaki Island." ”

"Ishigaki Island, it's a nice place. Kuramochi Yoichi said, and then asked, "Are you going sightseeing?" 2k reading network
