"Ten Minutes = One Song!"

"Ten Minutes of Divine Skill!"

"Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Heisei No. 1 Music Talent"

"The magazine failed to slander, and the editor-in-chief apologized and resigned"

The day after the press conference, major web portals and major media reported the final outcome of the event with various cover headlines and website headlines.

After witnessing Sakamoto's creative prowess, various music critics and veterans of the music industry have spoken out one after another, saying that Sakamoto is really a creative genius. And the general public, through live TV, also found out that they blamed Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and in a guilty mood, they all went to buy the singles of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the SUN band to express their apologies to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

As a result, THE SUN's singles immediately rose from the bottom of the singles chart to the top five again, selling 100,000 copies in a single week!

On the singles sales chart, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's two original songs "Close Your Eyes Lightly" and "Flowers" are both high in the top ten.

And on the singles chart, all four songs of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN are in the top ten.

"Flowers" ranked first, "Eyes Closed" was third, "Nagasaki" was seventh, and "Glimmer" was tenth.

This is also the first singer to have four songs in the top 10 of the singles chart since the establishment of the RB public trust chart.

This record makes the RB music industry seem to see the birth of a future king.

No matter what the outside world says about it, Kiyoshi Sakamoto passed the "Ten Minutes to Write a Song" at Sony's press conference, and then returned to his home in Meguro Ward on his own, alone...

Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly felt a little tired, and when he hadn't entered the entertainment industry yet, he heard his teacher, Masaharu Fukuyama, say, "This is a circle that looks glamorous on the surface, but is filthy behind it, there are many, many people who want to come in, but there are also many people who want to escape, but can't escape from a lonely city." ”

also admonished Sakamoto Kiyoshi and said, "If you really want to enter this circle, then you must have strong willpower and strong psychology, only in this way, you will not be crushed by those people who don't like you, don't approve of you, don't convince you, and even envy you!"

At that time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was still a layman who longed for the thousands of purples and thousands of people in the entertainment industry, and he could be said to be a dream chaser, and he didn't understand what Masaharu Fukuyama said to him at all.

And after experiencing this turmoil, Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly understood a little bit of what Masaharu Fukuyama meant by what he said to himself that day.

This is not a beautiful circle of dreamers with their own dreams.

This is such a cruel place with its own rules, everyone praises you when you are popular, and everyone steps on it when you are down.

It is impossible for every artist to be popular for a lifetime, there will definitely be times when you are low, at this time, only your own strong heart will accompany you and support you to continue to move forward.

"If you can't be calm in the face of the ridicule and abuse of some sunspots and trolls, then quit the entertainment industry now!"

This is Uncle Ishida, an old fritter who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and gives Kiyoshi Sakamoto the most faithful advice.

"I don't think I'm able to take it easy. Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was lying on the bed, muttered to himself while holding the remote control and turning on the TV.

On TV, there happened to be this issue of music station, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto remembered that the song "CAROLS" she wrote for Ayumi Hamasaki, she said that it would be released in September, is there her in this issue?

As Sakamoto Kiyoshi expected, the finale of this issue is still Sister Step.

Watching Ayumi Hamasaki on TV being interviewed by Tamori, Tamory first asked about the "Matsuura Katsuto Incident" that had just passed.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly remembered that in the past August, not only did he have his own "Sakamoto Gunner Incident", but there was also an incident that shook the RB entertainment industry, that is, the "Matsuura Katsuto Incident".

Katsuto Matsuura, as the general manager of the Avex Record Group, is known for discovering and nurturing emerging artists, especially Ayumi Hamasaki, who has made him one of the best musicians in the industry.

At the end of July of this year, Tatsumi Ita, president of Avex, held a high-level meeting within Avex and asked Chiba Ryuhei, the president in charge of Avex's executive operations, to remove Katsuhito Matsuba on the grounds that "Katsuto Matsuura is using Avex's artists for personal gain", and President Chiba Ryuhei agreed to the proposal.

However, this proposal angered Katsuto Matsuura, and he angrily offered to resign.

And Katsuto Matsuura, as Ayumi Hamasaki's mentor, fully supports Ayumi Hamasaki for the person who discovered her and made her popular.

So, when Ayumi Hamasaki faced the departure of his mentor, he left a message on his official website: "If Matsuura's resignation is accepted, I have decided to advance and retreat with him." ”

As a result of this move, a large number of singers who regarded Matsuura as their mentor, such as the Grand Infinity Orchestra, hitomi, SPEED, and the Little Things Orchestra, as well as employees who supported Matsuura, demanded to resign.

This shook the entire Avex company, and the next day, Avex's stock price immediately plummeted by more than 10%.

This also shocked the entire entertainment industry at once, and a large part of the public and the media's eyes were attracted to the past, which made Sakamoto Kiyoshi's "gunman incident" not have time to break out at that time, so it gave Sakamoto Kiyoshi a little time to think and maneuver later.

Avex eventually succumbed to Ayumi Hamasaki's demands and reversed its decision to dismiss Katsuto Matsuura.

On August 3, under the pressure of Ayumi Hamasaki's statement, Avex changed its original management policy and announced the recall of Katsuto Matsuura, which also put an end to Ayumi Hamasaki's worries about leaving the company.

But this incident caused Ayumi Hamasaki to issue a statement on her official website, saying that she had dismissed this year's RB Record Awards and stated that she would no longer receive the award for singing.

This is also a pity for the majority of Hamasaki fans, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto was in the same mood at that time. However, before he could comfort Sister Ayuma, the "Sakamoto Gunner Incident" hit him.

These two events occurred from August to September, a month, and the RB entertainment industry also knew about the terrible influence of Ayumi Hamasaki and the huge influence of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a newcomer who debuted less than a year ago.

After dealing with this incident, Sakamoto Kiyoshi returned home and found that this was the first time he had seen Ayumi Hamasaki in nearly a month, although only on TV.

At this point, after Ayumi Hamasaki on TV briefly answered about the past "Katsuto Matsuura incident", Tamori also asked her about her opinion on the "Sakamoto gunner incident".

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was already sitting on the bed, his body was upright, watching how Ayumi Hamasaki answered on TV.

In fact, in this "Sakamoto Gunner Incident", only Masaharu Fukuyama, Yui Aragaki, Masami Nagasawa, Shiba Qiyuki, etc., artists who have a little friendship with Kiyoshi Sakamoto support him with a certain attitude, and there is an unexpected person who also supports him vigorously on his official website, that is, Yuko Takeuchi, who has never met.

Sister Yuko Takeuchi, on her official website, wrote, "I received an album from Kiyokun Sakamoto before, and I was very happy, so I listened to it right away. The three songs in it are all very good, and Kiyokun Sakamoto's voice is very warm, and I don't think that a person who has such a (gentle) voice will definitely not be a liar. ”

This made Sakamoto Kiyoshi very moved, because Yuko Takeuchi supported herself like this, this person who had never met before, it took a lot of courage, and her office definitely didn't want her to send this, but she still sent it.

This also gave Kiyoshi Sakamoto an urge to meet this sister Yuko Takeuchi, who believed in herself and was gentle.

At this time, Ayumi Hamasaki on TV also replied about his opinion on the "Sakamoto gunman incident".

"At that time, because I had just experienced a sad thing, I didn't support KIYO-kun in the first place, but I always supported him. After all, I saw the magic skill of writing songs in ten minutes before you. Ayumi Hamasaki said on TV.

"Oh, what's going on?" Tamori didn't expect to ask casually, and asked the inside story.

"On the 23rd of July, it was the first time I met KIYO-kun, and I didn't know where I got the courage to ask KIYO-kun to sing on the spot. ”

"Eh, eh, eh??? is it the first time we've met?"

"Well, I didn't know why it was like this at the time, maybe it was because I liked the songs written by KIYO-kun so much. Ayumi Hamasaki said a little shyly.

"Then what's next? Did Kiyokun Sakamoto promise you? Or did he look at you with a confused face? Haha" Tamori made a wave of amusement and enlivened the scene.

“。。。 He agreed, and before he could finish speaking, he took a pen and paper and wrote on the table next to the lounge. Ten minutes later, my song "CAROLS" was born. ”

"Eh??? Hamasaki-san, the title song of your single this time is Kiyokun Sakamoto, did you write it for you?"

"That's right, my song "CAROLS" was written by KIYO-kun in ten minutes in the lounge. And he didn't know in advance that I was going to ask him to sing, so he couldn't have found someone to ghostwrite. So, I knew that KIYO-kun would definitely not be the one to ask the gunman to compose the music, but he was a musical genius. Ayumi Hamasaki treated Kiyoshi Sakamoto as if he were a younger brother, proudly showing off Kiyoshi Sakamoto's creative prowess.

"Well, I also think Kiyokun Sakamoto is a musical genius, after all, he can make such good music at such a young age. Next, I would like to invite Ayumi Hamasaki to bring us "CAROLS" composed by Kiyokun Sakamoto," Tamori also spoke out in support.

Looking at the picture on TV of Ayumi Hamasaki helping Kiyoshi Sakamoto promote a wave, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also smiled.

At least in this farce, I know that those who support me behind the scenes have never left.

"I'm not a failure!" this is what Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought at this time.
