Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, 68 kilometers away from Tokyo City, Tokyo Narita International Airport.

Departure Hall.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was wearing a cap and a mask, looked around like a thief at this time, avoiding the flow of people in the airport hall.

"Where the hell is this Taylor?"

He muttered to his mouth as he looked around for Taylor's figure.

Why is Kiyoshi Sakamoto at the airport?

This still has to start with the phone call that Sakamoto received in the morning.

。。。。。。

Hearing Taylor say on the phone that when he was already in Japan, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had a "I know" expression on his face, holding his phone while holding his forehead.

For Taylor, a bold American girl, Sakamoto Kiyoshi feels that there is a bit of a headache.

From the time of the video with her last month, Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned about Taylor's recent situation.

Since February 2005, when Taylor was removed from the hands of Scott Pocheta, the founder of Big Machine Records, Taylor has become a Sony Record artist.

More than a year passed quickly, and in this year or so, Taylor basically devoted his time to music creation in addition to going to school.

Because he is the boss of Sony Music Group in Japan, Naoki Kitagawa personally said that he wanted to sign him, so Sony, one of the giants of the world's four major record companies, also takes good care of Taylor, a rookie singer.

And after seeing Taylor's creative talent and musical ability, this care slowly turned into an appreciation.

In addition to letting her study with major music producers and composers, she also tried her best to meet Taylor's small requirements.

Therefore, as Taylor's best creative partner, Liz Ross was also persuaded by Taylor to be signed by Sony as a composer.

Also, the music producer who has been working with Taylor, Nathan Chapman, was also hired by Sony as Taylor's royal producer.

And Taylor's lively and cheerful personality, as well as her beautiful appearance, also make her one of the more promising newcomers to Sony Records.

Therefore, in April, Sony's music director, after seeing the songs she had written, immediately decided to start preparing for her debut.

Taylor, who originally wanted to debut before the age of eighteen, was ecstatic when he learned the news.

When she was on a transoceanic video with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, she also thanked Kiyoshi Sakamoto fiercely for this matter, and also invited Kiyoshi Sakamoto to go to the United States to produce this album together.

Why is Taylor so excited?

Because, this is the reason why she parted ways with RCA Records in the first place, so she was so happy when she knew that she could release an album before the age of eighteen, which was also what Kiyoshi Sakamoto decided with her at that time.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto also learned from the excited Taylor that Taylor began to prepare his first self-titled album "Taylor Sift".

He wanted to get involved, but at that time, he happened to be at the critical moment of the release of the movie and serialization, so he did not get on the plane to the United States, but stayed in Japan.

When he told Taylor that he couldn't go, Taylor's expression was clearly visible, slightly unhappy.

In Taylor's view, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is equivalent to his Bole, a recommender, a senior brother, and the most important identity, a music confidant.

Therefore, although she was a little unhappy that Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't come over to make her debut album together, she was optimistic that Kiyoshi Sakamoto would definitely come to visit her once she was done.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto also readily agreed.

However, it was delayed for four months, from April to August.

No, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not in a hurry, but Taylor in the United States is in a hurry.

Taylor's debut single "Tim McGra" was completed in June.

As a little country beauty that Sony is ready to support, Taylor gets much better resources than the resources she originally got at Big Machine Records.

Also, as a newly established independent record label, Big Machine Records, historically, it was because of Taylor that it became a first-class record label.

In the early days of the big machine record company, even if Taylor was its first singer, it can be said that all the resources were smashed on her, but it still made Taylor's early days more difficult...

Now, because of the appearance of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the butterfly, Taylor was signed by Sony.

In addition to making Big Machine Records lose a future pop diva, it also made Sony Mirai smile from ear to ear, of course, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's original purpose was not like this.

His purpose is to sign Taylor, and with the support of Sony, make Taylor's road to fame smoother, that's all.

Talented people, even in different environments, will be successful, let alone a talented singer-songwriter like Taylor Swift.

Taylor, who is backed by Sony's big tree, didn't have to ask her mother to help her, as she did in the original history, put her first single CD in an envelope and sent it to major radio stations to play her songs.

You don't have to go around and take your own single CD to various radio stations to promote it.

Sony, who has a lot of money, how can he let a singer who values it do this.

As a result, the well-made single CDs were sent to major radio stations by Sony, and Taylor's sweet singing voice resounded throughout the American country music radiation area, especially Taylor's home base, Nashville.

In addition, Sony also developed a special publicity plan for Taylor.

Because Taylor is a country singer and her music is popular in some less developed second-tier cities, Sony specially arranged a tour of rural cities for her.

As a singer who released a record, what Taylor has to do is to participate in the major radio programs that Sony has prepared for her, as well as to appear on TV shows, and to bring beautiful music to people who love country music on tours in major cities.

This is much better than the original rush of history.

However, this gives Taylor some free time at his disposal.

。。。。。。

At this time, sneakily in the airport, searching for a tall, blonde, good-looking girl Sakamoto Kiyoshi finally saw his goal.

A European and American girl wearing a graffiti white T on her upper body, a slim jeans on her lower body, blonde hair, sunglasses, a slender figure, and incompatible with the flow of people around her, is standing in a more conspicuous place in the airport hall with a big suitcase in her hand.

Looking around, you know that she is waiting for someone to pick her up.

And that person is Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Seeing the foreign beauty who was taller than himself, Sakamoto Kiyoshi first pressed his cap, muttered a few words in his mouth, and walked towards the "foreign beauty".

At this time, the "foreign beauty" saw a boy with a slender figure, just a little shorter than herself, wearing a cap and a mask, walking towards herself.

The "foreign beauty" took off her sunglasses a little confused, revealing her sweet appearance with a little doubt.

"Sure enough... ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was walking towards a "foreign beauty", saw the beauty after taking off his sunglasses, and after complaining in his heart, he also took off his mask.

That beauty, seeing the handsome face under the mask that she hadn't seen for a long time, although she had already seen him in the video, she still felt sudden and a little excited.

“KIYO！”

So, before Sakamoto Kiyoshi greeted her, the foreign beauty screamed in surprise, threw down her suitcase, took one step and two steps, walked her long legs, trotted to Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a bewildered face, and gave a hard hug!

Bang!

The strength of the hug and the huge impact made Sakamoto Kiyoshi feel the enthusiasm and excitement of the other party through his clothes.

Holding this enthusiastic foreign beauty, Sakamoto Kiyoshi said with a little embarrassment in his tone.

"Hello, Taylor!"

That's right, as soon as I saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a foreign beauty who hugged her like fire came to her, it was Kiyoshi Sakamoto's good friend, Sony's rookie singer, a little country beauty, Taylor Swift!

After letting go of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Taylor, whose face was a little flushed, said shyly to Sakamoto Kiyoyo, "Hello, KIYO! Long time no see!"

Seeing that he didn't wear makeup, but because he hugged Taylor, who was blushing, Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought in his heart at this time, not "Well, Taylor is still so beautiful", but...

"Wow, finally, finally, I don't have to look up at this beauty anymore! ”

Taylor also discovered this reality and asked a little surprised.

"Oh, KIYO, you've grown a lot taller!" he said, measuring his height with his hands, on the top of his head, and then comparing the top of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's head, and found that it was about the same.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who heard Taylor's words, was sunk by Taylor's next sentence before he had time to be happy.

"Still, you're shorter than me, you. ”

Burst!!!

Sakamoto Kiyoshi spurted out a mouthful of old blood in his heart, and his expression, which was originally a little happy, instantly condensed.

Looking at the "petrified" Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Taylor also laughed, and seeing Taylor with a smile on his face, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also laughed.

The sense of strangeness and strangeness that they haven't seen for a long time between the two of them is swept away in laughter. . .

。。。。。。

Taking Taylor into the taxi at the airport, Kiyoshi Sakamoto sat in the back seat with her and began to chat.

"By the way, Taylor, are you coming alone? What about your mom and dad? Didn't you come with you?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi didn't ask Taylor why he came to Japan at the beginning.

Because, from Taylor's sudden appearance in Japan, he guessed that there should be something urgent.

However, he guessed wrong.

Taylor's answer made him so shocked that he couldn't even close his jaw.

"I came out alone and didn't tell my mom or dad. ”

Hearing Taylor's understatement, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had only one thought in his heart.

"Runaway ?!!"
