Chapter 513: Pursuing with Victory
At last.
The Sun also won the best rock song with the world's best-selling album and the world's popular "E Are Young"!
For the Grammys, it's just a trivial award, and it doesn't matter who it's given to.
However, for The Sun, it means a lot.
It was the first award won by The Sun, who broke into the European and American music scene for the first time, at the world-famous music awards!
What's more, that's a Grammy!!
The Grammys are all trophies that have been made into the shape of gramophones.
Interestingly, whether it's Album of the Year, Song of the Year, or Best World Music Album, Best Rock Song, the trophy is a gramophone.
In a sense, The Sun won the Best Rock Song Award, which was no different from the Best Song of the Year award won by ColdPlay, two trophies.
It's just the meaning that the Grammys give to this trophy...
In any case, it is undoubtedly an eye-catching thing that you can win a prize if you participate for the first time.
This year's Grammys, still led by Coldplay, made Americans bow their noble heads in front of their musical peers, and were deeply remembered.
The situation of the confrontation between Britain and the United States has not changed because of the variable of The Sun.
However, the media in Los Angeles and around the world did not hesitate to report on this rock band from Asia.
This proves that The Sun is not a dispensable passerby for the Grammys.
"Los Angeles Weekly" said, "This Grammy has unearthed a strange face for us who will frequently appear in front of the European and American public in the future." That's the sun!"
In particular, a large report in the "Los Angeles Times" made many people in the United States who pay attention to the entertainment industry know that in distant Asia, there is a rock band that makes people shine.
"It is foreseeable that this young band, known as Asia's No. 1 band, will surely surprise us more in the coming years! β
You must know that the Los Angeles Times is the largest folio newspaper in the western United States, and its influence and status are second only to the New York Times and the Washington Post, and it is known as the third largest newspaper in the United States.
Its circulation is often maintained at 1 million to 1.5 million copies, making it one of only a handful of major newspapers in the United States with sales of more than a million copies.
One can imagine how huge the influence of this newspaper is...
And the sun, which was reported by this newspaper, also took advantage of the situation to catch a high-speed last train called "Grammy"...
In particular, the lead singer and soul of the band, who arranged the creation of all the title songs of the band, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's music creation ability has also been recognized by many musicians in the European and American music circles.
Coldplay said, "I'm looking forward to working with The Sun!"
Rock and roll god Paul McCartney, when answering a reporter's question, also praised, "Unforgettable moments? I guess that's when the Asian band plays!"
"The lead singer made me feel like I saw the shadow of John when I was young... β
The "John" in his mouth, everyone knows, is none other than the musical genius who had a profound influence on rock music, one of the souls of the Beatles, John Lennon!
The appreciation of such specifications instantly made Sakamoto Kiyoshi and The Sun receive wide attention from the European and American music circles.
Everyone wants to know what kind of musical genius the person who is so praised by Paul McCartney is!
It is precisely because of this that all kinds of things about Kiyoshi Sakamoto have been exposed by the media!
In addition to the appalling identities such as the richest man in Japan, a shareholder of Sony, a shareholder of Facebook, and an executive director of Sony Music, the huge success in the Japanese music scene has also made countless music fans have a huge curiosity about this 19-year-old Asian boy.
Under the media coverage, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is like a beautiful woman who has been stripped naked and has nowhere to hide!
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has already experienced it and is regarded as a sweetheart by the national media and tries his best to report and expose, also responded calmly in interviews with many media in the United States.
"Wealth doesn't mean everything I have, but, I don't deny it, it's a part of me. β
It is also thanks to the superposition of multiple identities that the sun, a band led by the richest man in Japan, has become the hottest topic after the Grammys...
And Sony Records, which saw this scene, also announced that the SUN band, which won the Grammy for Best Rock Song, will release the band's second single a week later!
Of course, this decision was made after Sony discussed it with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the Grammys that has not yet dissipated, take the opportunity to release a single, chase a wave of victory, and maximize the benefits of this Grammy trip!
This is undoubtedly a decision that will benefit from all the benefits!
It's just that it's hard to get the first gramophone for the Sun trio.
Before I have recovered from the joy of winning the award, I will immediately devote myself to the recording studio in New York...
made Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the three of them feel tired.
Within a week, you have to complete the creation of the single, the recording of the single, the MV shooting of the single, and all the post-production of the single.
Even with Sony Records, it's not an easy thing to do.
However, for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has many future hits in his head, at the very least, the creation of songs, no need to think too much, just close your eyes and choose a suitable song from the brain database, it is enough!
And after careful consideration, Kiyoshi Sakamoto chose a song for the band's second single, which is different from the indie rock style of "E Are Young".
A country-style song.
γcruiseγοΌ
This song by the country band Florida Geia Line is the best-selling country single in the history of European and American music!
In the 70-year history of the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart, "Cruise" led the charts for a total of 24 weeks, making it the longest-running song on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart.
In 2017, before Kiyoshi Sakamoto's rebirth, the sales of this song, along with its strength on the country charts, exceeded 10 million, and became one of the diamond singles certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)!
It is also one of only 17 diamond singles in the world to hold the RIAA certification!
In order to let the public see The Sun's changeable style, after consideration, Kiyoshi Sakamoto decided to choose this song as the band's second single after the Grammy award.
Not only that, in order to achieve the maximum publicity effect, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also invited Taylor Swift, a little princess in the countryside, as the heroine of the MV.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto doesn't believe it, the lead singer of the new Grammy band, plus the popular little princess in the countryside, can't beat the two GAY in the MV of the previous life, and the European and American men who played cards with a group of bikini girls?!
A week later.
On February 16th, "Cruise" will be released worldwide!
