Chapter 50: College Entrance Examination Candidate Sakamoto
RB College Entrance Examination, RB College Entrance Examination is held on Saturdays and Sundays after January 13 every year.
Another college entrance exam is held sometime from February to March each year.
RB students have at least two chances to take the college entrance examination. The first national examination (80-90% of the total number of admissions) will take place in late January.
One of the characteristics of this exam is that there is no distinction between arts and sciences.
The second is that each school organizes its own examination (accounting for 10-20% of the total number of admissions, called the "second test"), which is generally in February and March, and the examination forms include written examinations, interviews, essay writing, practical operations, etc., which are decided by each school. The exam schedule varies from school to school, so you can take the exam from multiple schools.
If you do well in the first test, you will not take the second test, and if you do not do well, you can choose 2-3 schools to participate in the second test.
The competition for the second test of good schools and good majors is also very strong. Therefore, if you don't want to repeat your studies, you need to find a guaranteed school for the second test.
RB also has some universities that implement a recommendation admission system, that is, set aside some places to recruit outstanding students recommended by secondary school principals, and the recommended students must take the first national examination, but do not participate in the second test.
Of course, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is the first in the whole school of Sunrise University every year, should have been recommended by the president, but because the principal said that "Sakamoto-kun is so good at studying, there is no need to recommend it at all, and he can enter the University of Tokyo steadily, so I should give this place to some students who want to go to a prestigious university, but it is not enough to deviate", so I don't recommend Sakamoto Kiyoshi.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi is not indispensable to this, anyway, with his own strength, he took the entrance examination to the University of Tokyo, as if he was playing, so he didn't care much about recommending it, so he went with him.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi also talked about this when he was chatting with his family, but Sakamoto's mother and Sakamoto's father didn't take this matter seriously at all, because in their minds, there was nothing that their eldest son couldn't do, whether it was learning or music, as long as he wanted to learn, he could learn it, and he learned it better than most people.
This may be the extreme trust that parents have in their children.
So, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was like this, and after helping the family pack up his things, he returned to Tokyo alone.
Tokyo, Meguro-ku.
At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was chatting with Gakki and Sesame sauce, chatting with text messages, showing off to them that he was about to take the college entrance examination, and at the same time laughing at them for the "cruel reality" that he couldn't go to university yet.
Because Gakki is only a sophomore in high school after April this year, and Se Chan is postponing the college entrance examination for a year because he has to film, so this one was used by Sakamoto Kiyoshi to laugh at the two of them, and the person who is older than himself has not yet taken the university entrance examination by himself.
This made Sakamoto Kiyoshi receive serious protests and suppression from the two daughters, and both women shouted that the next time they see Sakamoto Kiyoshi, they must be beaten first. Sakamoto Kiyoshi also continued to provoke very strongly, "Come on, I'm afraid of you" This sentence made the two girls even more popular, and in the New Year's wishes, another one was added: beat Sakamoto Kiyoshi!
After provoking a wave of girls, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not forget the small bridge in Hokkaido, and deliberately brought a lot of Nagasaki specialties at home, flew to Sapporo, and worshiped the Hashimoto family for a year.
Seeing the arrival of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the Hashimoto family is also very happy, after all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is an artist star known to more than half of RB people, and such a big star came to pay New Year's greetings, which is enough to prove that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a sincere person who makes friends without looking at his family background. Therefore, Hashimoto's mother also treats Kiyoshi Sakamoto as a child of the Hashimoto family.
After not staying long from Sapporo, Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately returned to Tokyo to pay New Year's greetings to his teacher, Masaharu Fukuyama.
Because Fukuyama did not return to Nagasaki this year and has been celebrating the New Year in Tokyo, he could only return to Tokyo, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto went to his teacher's house to pay New Year's greetings with a gift from his hometown.
In front of Masaharu Fukuyama, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a completely unleashed wild horse, and was soon driven away by Fukuyama with a New Year's money and a chestnut.
After worshipping Masaharu Fukuyama, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not forget to go to his agent's uncle to ask for New Year's money, although Sakamoto Kiyoshi earned much more than him.
At Uncle Ishida's place, Kiyoshi Sakamoto finally saw Uncle Ishida's daughter, Sachiko Ishida, a cute little Lori, and at the same time Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fan sister.
However, under the eyes of Uncle Ishida who was about to kill, Sakamoto Kiyoshi could only stay at Ishida's house for a while, and then quickly left. After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto doesn't want to be seen as a goldfish guy by Uncle Ishida, Lolicon.
"I'm a straight man with extremely correct views, I won't be so obscene, I like to wait for them to grow up, and then talk to them about life or ideals or something. Well, I'm not Lolicon. Kiyoshi Sakamoto qualitatively said to himself.
The last stop of the New Year's greeting is the president of Sony, the family of Naoki Kitagawa.
Because as his top boss and his own boss, Sakamoto Kiyoshi didn't dare to forget to go to Kitagawa's house to pay New Year's greetings, and there was also a relationship, that is, Kitagawa Naoki's second son, Kitagawa Kenji, was still his good friend.
Therefore, before the college entrance examination, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also visited Kitagawa's house.
After a week-long New Year's greetings, Kiyoshi Sakamoto finally ushered in a major event in his life.
College Entrance Examination!
In his previous life, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a victim of an exam-oriented education after graduating from a second-rate university. In college, he was just obsessed with football and Japanese entertainment, and in the end he had no background and no outstanding skills, so he couldn't find a job in the end.
And in this life, even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto can never forget and has a supernatural learning ability, he still obediently finishes elementary school, junior high school, high school, and then takes the university entrance examination like an ordinary person. Instead of thinking about other people after being reborn, thinking about doing this and that at the beginning, kicking big enterprises and punching the rich second generation.
Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not Long Aotian, in RB, Long Aotian died very quickly and miserably, and in RB, it is impossible for a deviant to live in this hierarchical society.
Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can only be regarded as such a small person who wants to join the ranks of rule-makers and adapt to the times, nothing more.
And the college entrance examination is the first step for him to join the ranks of rule-makers, and only in the college entrance examination can he get a ticket if he is admitted to a prestigious university.
RB, in the final analysis, is still the world of the consortium, and in order to cultivate the family elite, the consortium will let them enter a prestigious university to study, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi enters a prestigious university, so that he can befriend these rule-makers and join them.
This is the way to rise Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who has no background and connections, only knows the future and never forgets the golden finger.
January 22nd, Sunrise National Examination Day for Colleges and Universities.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto quickly answered all the questions at an astonishing speed, and handed in the paper in thirty minutes.
On January 23rd, the answer came out.
After comparing the answers, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that he had received almost a perfect score, so he submitted a petition to the University of Tokyo.
On January 25, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was approved by the University of Tokyo for the second test, which was held in late February.
At this time, the agent, Uncle Ishida, brought an unexpected news to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
"What?Westlife's concert guests?" asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto in surprise as he looked at Uncle Ishida who was sitting on the sofa.
"That's right, that's one of Sony's plans to push you next. Now that your popularity in RB is so high, if you can, go abroad and go to Europe and the United States to brush your face, it will still be very helpful for your development. ”
"Oh, that's it, too, westlife (Westside Boys) is also very famous in the world, if I can be a guest on their concert tour, it will indeed be a big improvement for my status in RB. Kiyoshi Sakamoto pondered for a moment and thought about what this matter could bring to himself.
"By the way, which tour am I on?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto is now focusing on, when.
Because in late February, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will return to RB to participate in the second test at the University of Tokyo, which is a big deal and cannot be missed.
"Well, I'll see... It was on February 1st, the first tour. Uncle Ishida looked at the schedule in his hand and replied.
"February 1st, there's still plenty of time, where?"
"Nashville, Tennessee, USA. ”
"Oh, Nashville, that's the birthplace of American country music. Kiyoshi Sakamoto began to look forward to this guest trip.
Nashville, the capital of the U.S. state of Tennessee, is located in the south-central United States, on the banks of the Cumberland River in central Tennessee, and is the second largest city in the state after Memphis.
Country music was born in 1920, and the name "country music" appeared in the United States in the 20s of the 20th century, and its origins are widespread. At that time, the content of the song, in addition to expressing the working life, disgusted with the lonely wandering life, longing for a warm and peaceful home, singing sweet love and the pain of falling out of love.
In 1925, a radio station was established in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. They started a special program called "Opera of the Past - Native Voices". An 81-year-old folk singer named Jamie Thompson was invited to sing, and the show was warmly received by the audience.
Since then, this music has been collectively referred to as "country music". Country music became one of the favorite forms of music for working people in the United States.
Many country musicians have come out here and gone to the whole of America.
The more well-known ones are Johnny Cash, Allison Krauss, Tim McGro, Kelly Underwood, Blake Shelton, Josh Turner, the pre-war goddess, the Perry band, and of course, a future global diva, Taylor Swift.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto also likes country music very much, the tune is simple, the rhythm is stable, with a narrative, telling the feelings he wants to express in his heart in the plain, and he is kind and enthusiastic without losing the pop elements, which can add a variety of pop music expressions, so as to become a new way of musical expression, such as country rock, country blues and so on.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto wondered what would happen if he added country rock to RB ballads, or what would happen if he added country music to RB pop?
Although he debuted in 2004, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still visits his music teacher, Masaharu Fukuyama, from time to time.
In the past few years of studying music with Masaharu Fukuyama, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has become more and more fond of music, the best way to express his emotions, so in the past few years, he has not stopped learning various genres and knowledge of music, and has always composed music and lyrics.
His dream is that one day, no longer using future songs, the songs he writes can also be recognized by the public.
