Chapter 416: Play with some new tricks

"?!!"

Hearing this inside information, the three of them were really surprised.

Uncle Ishida just continued to explain.

However, after negotiations between the company and the festival organizers, the organizers agreed to change the invited person from Kiyoshi Sakamoto to the band THE SUN. ”

This approach is exactly the same as the approach taken by NHK TV during the last two Red and White Song Concerts.

That is, the person invited has changed from Kiyoshi Sakamoto to the band SUN.

Although the number of people has increased, whether it is Kiyoshi Sakamoto or the SUN band, they are only counted as a group of singers.

Therefore, it is not much worse.

With precedent, the trio quickly understood.

Just as the three of them were about to start high-fives to celebrate, Uncle Ishida gasped and said, "But!"

"Huh?" the three of them were confused.

"There's a problem. ”

"Questions?"

"Yes, although the organizers agreed to our proposal, they also made a request, which was to sing as many English songs as possible. ”

"That's a lot of goods... The three of them also suddenly realized.

Also, how do people say that it is also Glastonbury Music Festival, the world's largest open-air music festival, and the force is still very high...

Inviting Kiyoshi Sakamoto was finally decided based on the face of the best-selling ballad and the public relations of Sony Music.

The organizer invited Kiyoshi Sakamoto to participate, and he must have been prepared to let Sakamoto sing the song "I'm Yours" before inviting him.

Now it's the SUN band.,Of course, it's also trying to require the band to sing English songs.。。。

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the others also expressed understanding.

"This is the first famous foreign music festival that THE SUN has participated in, and it is also the largest open-air music festival in the world!"

"This is an important first step for you to enter the European and American music scene, so you must take advantage of this great opportunity!"

"You know, you're the first band in Asia to be invited to the Glastonbury Festival!!

Asia's first?!

This word sounds very forceful, which makes the eyes of the three of them light up.

"Yo Xi!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood up from the sofa suddenly, raised his clenched fist, and looked firm, "In this case, then let the girls in Europe and the United States see the charm of our SUN!!"

However, he did not succeed in receiving the adoring eyes from his teammates...

"By the way, which song are we going to participate in?"

It was still the calmest Ogawa Shin who spoke the key question.

Sitting on the sofa, Ogawa Zhen, who looked calm, said the current situation of THE SUN in a light tone.

"We've released so many singles and albums, all of which are in Japanese, and even the only song in English, which is your solo single, are we going to adapt this 'I'm Yours' into a rock version and take it to the festival?"

"And even if you start working now, you won't be able to do it too late. ”

"After all, our new album is about to be released... ”

However, Ogawa really seems to have forgotten that the band he is in has the existence of the super bug of Kiyoshi Sakamoto!

"This thing, wrap it up on me!!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is still standing on the sofa and posing with POSE, patted his chest and played a package ticket.

"Uh... Do you have a stock of English songs?!" Ogawa asked, looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto in surprise.

The word inventory is a term used by the all-powerful SUN trio to describe original songs that have not yet been released after they are usually created.

Because, the amount of creation of the three is very large, so large that they can not rely on it at all, and the composers under Sony can also independently produce a complete album.

Therefore, the three of them created some of the remaining songs, in addition to selling them to other singers who are also owned by Sony, they will also collect some high-quality songs and take them out when they need them.

That's why, Ogawa will really be surprised that there will be a "stock" of English songs with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

After all, the trio couldn't have started writing English songs in advance without an invitation to Glastonbury, and in that case, there wouldn't have been any inventory.

"That's for sure, I have a lot of stock here!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi said with a stinking look on his face, pointing his finger at his head.

Looking up at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who stood up, Makoto Ogawa, Masaki Chiba, and Uncle Ishida also had to sigh in their hearts.

"People are more angry than people... ”

However, the three of them have long been accustomed to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's omnipotence.

After all, the 18-year-old monster who looks handsome, studies well, can sing, act, create, and even write, is the only one in Japan...

No, it should be the only one in the world.

However, they still missed one, that is, they are so rich!

If the three of them know that he is a major shareholder of Facebook or a shareholder of Google, and that his net worth has reached four billion dollars...

Ogawa really didn't know what the reaction would be, anyway, Chiba Masaki and Uncle Ishida would definitely be dumbfounded.

。。。。。。

A day later.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the sheet music that had just come out and ran to the band's practice room in high spirits.

I saw that in the practice room, the other two people of SUN, as well as the agent uncle and the music director Uncle Yamada, all gathered together and waited for him.

"Yo, have you arrived?" As soon as he walked into the practice room, he felt it, and his four pairs of eyes were focused on himself.

"Sorry sorry, the bike is a little slower... ”

Ignoring everyone's dissatisfied eyes for his tardiness, Sakamoto Kiyoshi came directly to Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki, handed the music score in triplicate to the two, and looked at the two of them with a fierce look.

"Are you ready?"

"Huh?!"

However, the two of them looked confused and didn't know what he was talking about.

However, when they lowered their heads and looked at the music sheet in their hands, they also spoke out in unison.

“e Are Young?”

After saying the name of the song at the same time, the two continued to read, especially the other hand on the lap of Ogawa Mako, who is more talented in composition, slowly beating the beat with the notes in the score, as if feeling the song called "e Are Young".

And Masaki Chiba, who has a unique understanding of lyrics, focuses on the lyrics under the notes.

Keep chanting the words.,Chiba Masaki looked at the lyrics.,While scrutinizing the word by word.。。。

A moment later, under the inexplicable eyes of Uncle Ishida and Director Yamada, Masato Ogawa and Masaki Chiba came back to their senses from this song.

"This... After a long time, Ogawa stared at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a serious expression, and suddenly said headlessly, "It's a waste." ”

"Waste? No, I've been prepared for a long time. Kiyoshi Sakamoto also heard the meaning of Ogawa's words.

It's nothing more than saying that it's a waste to take out this song and go to a music festival.

Also, as one of the most recognizable songs of the band Fun., "e Are Young" brought the band their first Billboard number one single, as well as a Grammy phonograph!

"e Are Young" is a pop rock song released by the band Fun. in 2011.

Upon its release, it topped the music charts in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Austria, Ireland, Israel, Portugal, Iceland, and Poland.

Moreover, it also won the championship for six consecutive weeks on the Billboard HOT 100, and before Kiyoshi Sakamoto crossed, it sold more than 9 million worldwide, just a little bit, and it became another diamond single in the United States!

It is conceivable that the quality and popularity of this song have changed.

Even if you just see the score and lyrics, you can still see the high quality of this song by Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, who have been immersed in music creation for several years.

That's why, Ogawa really said, "It's a waste".

Because, in his opinion, this song, if THE SUN officially enters the European and American music scene, as the title song of the band's album, will inevitably make THE SUN a blockbuster.

Therefore, he was a little dissatisfied with Kiyoshi Sakamoto taking out this song at this time.

"What are you talking about?" Chiba Masaki on the side, still looking at the two of them talking dumb riddles in a puzzle that he didn't quite understand, "What kind of waste is not wasted?"

"Let's not talk about that, let's practice together first!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not answer Chiba Masaki's question directly, but beckoned his teammates, ready to perform this song live.

"Good. ”

Ogawa's eyes lit up immediately, and he got up to get his instrument.

"Ignoring me ... But Chiba Masaki was muttering, slowly walking towards the drum kit.

What the two have in common is that they hold the sheet tightly in their hands, for fear that such a good song will slip away from their hands...

The three of them stood in their respective positions, instruments in hand, and were ready.

"You guys are very lucky, today, this is the first disclosure of this song, so you are also the first audience of this song!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was standing in front of the shaking microphone with an electric guitar on his back, gently brushed his hair behind his ear, stretched out his hand, and pointed at Uncle Ishida and Yuichi Yamada, who were a little confused.

"Listen, E Are Young!"

As soon as the words fell, Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned his head to the drummer Chiba Masaki and nodded slightly.

A burst of "dong dong" drum accompaniment abruptly and continuously appeared, and after an eight-beat, Sakamoto's voice flowed out.

“Give me a second I'”

“I need to get my story straight”

“My friends are in the bathroom”

“getting higher than the Empire State”

。。。

In the original song of "e Are Young", the piano accompaniment accounts for a large proportion.

Because the three of THE SUN have their own accompaniment tasks, electric guitar, drums, bass...

Therefore, a keyboardist is also needed to assist in the rendition of the song.

However, because this is a version adapted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it has directly become a more rock version.

Although I just got the score in my hands and it was the first time to practice together, the three of THE SUN still gave an amazing LIVE performance.

"How?"

"A very good song!" Yuichi Yamada was a little confused, "But, then you called me here for... ”

"Director, how about we play some new tricks?" Before Yamada could finish speaking, Kiyoshi Sakamoto interrupted.

"Huh, what do you mean by the new trick?"

"Double title album!"
