His serialized "Golden Dreamland" sold millions of copies as soon as it was published, and he immediately became a million-selling seller.

And for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's future acting career, the most important breakthrough is his debut on the big screen.

In the first part of "Death Note", which was released in June this year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto starred in his screen debut to the public.

The actor he played "Night God Moon", his performance in the movie can be described as amazing, which has made many film critics feel uplifted, and they have praised and praised his performance.

is not only a professional film critic, but the public originally had doubts and scrutiny of this singer Sakamoto Kiyoshi who played the leading role in the first "electrocution", and walked into the theater to watch this Sakamoto Kiyoshi film debut.

However, they were all impressed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's superb acting skills and temperament that fit the role perfectly.

and as the opponent of "Night God Moon" in the movie, Kenichi Matsuyama played "L" also showed very superb acting skills, and the wonderful confrontation between the two in the movie, with open swords and hidden arrows, is undoubtedly a major attraction, and it also makes the audience enthusiastic.

In particular, loyal fans of the comics have entered the theater one after another to support this live-action movie adapted from the comics that is very faithful to the original book.

Moreover, at that time, the album of the SUN band was already on sale, and the public was very miss and curious about Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had been on vacation for two months.

Curious where he's been in the past two months and what he's been doing...

And at this time, the movie starring him was released.

In this way, the public has a cathartic channel for his thoughts, so his fans, as well as those who follow him, have entered the cinema with the mentality of "going to see".

Next, you all know.

"Death Note" became the most popular movie in June and July, with more than four million cumulative viewers!

It is also scheduled to be in the top five of the annual movie box office list in 2006.

can imagine how popular this movie is.

It is because of this movie that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's vivid acting skills conquered the public at once.

Since the release of the movie, people have known that he, a genius in music creation, turned out to be also an acting genius.

also made Sakamoto Kiyoshi's identity, both a singer and a music producer, have a new identity, an actor.

As a result, he has become an amphibious artist with talent and strength in both aspects, which also makes Sakamoto Qing Dynasty an all-round artist, and has taken another big step.

This is the most breakthrough point in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's career.

Because, when crossing borders, especially when singers cross actors, they will get much more attention and questions than normal actors.

And there are very few people who can break the doubts and really rely on their acting skills to gain public recognition.

Let's take the Japanese show business industry as an example.

Among the male singers, the best crossover should be Kimura Okami, as well as Masaharu Fukuyama, as well as Jun Matsumoto of Arashi, and Kazuya Ninomiya.

They are all fans of their music and have brought them to film and television, which is also an advantage when they are idol crossover actors.

Among the female singers, Mika Nakajima can be said to be the most successful one.

released the topic "NANA" last year, which also made her the most well-known cross-border female singer in one fell swoop.

This time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto succeeded in crossing the border in one fell swoop with his excellent performance and superb acting skills in "Death Note" and entered the circle of actors.

This also makes Sakamoto Kiyoshi's future path as an actor may be as smooth sailing as his music path.

After all, it's hard to get started.

However, one thing that made Kiyoshi Sakamoto regret was that he did not attend the premiere of the film.

"Actor" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, because he was in the period of stopping acting activities before the movie was released, so, as the actor of the "Death Note" movie, he did not participate in the crew's various program announcements and promotional activities.

Of course, at the premiere, there was no trace of him.

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto went to the cinema by himself and watched the finished product of the movie, he still felt a little regretful.

Because, this is his film debut, or starring debut, but he did not go to the premiere.

So, for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who missed the premiere last time, he definitely can't miss it again this time.

After all, the premiere of "Death Note: The Last Name", the second part of "Death Note", is his first starring movie premiere.

。。。。。。

On November 3, Kiyoshi Sakamoto attended the premiere of the movie "Death Note: The Last Name", which starred him and starring Kenichi Matsuyama, Erika Toda and others.

This is also the first performing arts event in public after the return of Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Therefore, that night, it attracted many fans and fans to come to support.

And when Kiyoshi Sakamoto appeared at the premiere wearing a well-fitting black suit, the audience of more than 500 people at the scene applauded and screamed excitedly.

In order to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who missed the last premiere, enjoy the enthusiasm of the audience, the crew of the movie also let Kiyoshi Sakamoto play the role of host on the stage and enliven the atmosphere of the scene.

For this task, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is of course happy to do so.

So, at the premiere, the crew who was funny and humorous, and kept joking about Matsuyama, Toda and others, came back.

Fans are also very happy to see such a big boy who keeps showing a hearty smile on the stage.

Because, for them who like Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's smile is the most attractive charm.

After breaking a wave of interesting stories about the crew, as well as taking photos with Kenichi Matsuyama, Hikaru Mitsushima, and Erika Toda, Sakamoto officially announced that the movie begins!

In addition to the original cast of the main characters, the second part of "Death Note: The Last Name" added Kiyomi Takada played by Nana Katase, who played a very important role in the film as the "third Kira", and the new role of the original in the second part, the female anchor Nishiyama Tsumiko played by Sakura Uehara, she aroused Kiyomi Takada's strong desire for revenge, and finally, Kiyomi Takada embarked on the path of "Kira" by killing her with Death Note.

And Ryuk the Grim Reaper also has two more accomplices - Rem and Geras, Grim Reaper.

Both of them are the Grim Reaper of Mi Haisha, but they both self-destructed in order to save Haisha, after screenwriter Tetsuya Oishi and director Shusuke Kaneko's reasonable choice of the original plot, the main story line has been branched twice, making the plot of the latter part more ups and downs and fascinating.

And with the first part that is recognized by the public, the second part, which already has a wide fan base, has also been expected and sought after by the public.

In terms of movie content, compared with the first part, director Shusuke Kaneko focused on the filming of the entire film in the second part, focusing on the "Night God Moon" played by Kiyoshi Sakamoto and "L" played by Kenichi Matsuyama, the life-and-death duel between the two.

As the promotional slogan says: "unpredictable new ending", the screenwriter's drastic modification of the original work made the plot more compact, the suspense level was improved, and the ending was unexpected.

Judging from the expressions on the faces of the audience who didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing the highlights, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting below and watching the finished movie for the first time, and Kenichi Matsuyama, who was sitting next to him, and Toda said.

"It seems that when you go out, you should prepare caps, masks, and sunglasses. ”

And when they looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi with puzzled faces, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's next words made them laugh too.

"Because, you're going to be even hotter than ever!!"

The success of the first part is destined to make the second part receive more attention, and in terms of the audience's feedback, it can be predicted that the box office success of the second part of "Death Note" "Death Note: The Last Name".

Coupled with Warner's once again maintaining the number of screens released in the previous part, as well as the double publicity bombardment of Sony and Warner, the movie's attendance rate on the first day reached an astonishing 99%!

That is to say, except for some seats that had a little accident and did not enter the venue after buying a ticket, they were almost all full.

In this case, everyone put their eyes on the first-day box office figures of this menacing movie.

Really.

The next day, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was waiting for the box office of the first day of the movie to be released, saw a surprising number when he took over the box office statistics table from the excited Uncle Ishida.

1 billion!

The box office exceeded 1 billion yen on the first day, and such a figure made Sakamoto Kiyoshi smile heartily.

"Qing, it seems that your movie may be even higher than the box office of the previous part!!"

The uncle standing next to him also rubbed his hands, looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi excitedly, and said.

"Five billion? no, five and a half billion is also possible!!"

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto also looked at the uncle with a smile, speculating on the final box office of the movie on the side, and did not interject.

"Qing, how much do you think the final box office will be?"

At this time, the uncle suddenly asked him about the "male protagonist".

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi also said confidently.

"I think that, more than six billion, is not a problem... ”

"Because, the actor is me!"
