Chapter 462: First Tour
On November 10, Sony Music announced a bombshell news.
THE SUN will start its first Dome concert tour on the 17th of this month!
The name of the concert is "THE SUNRISE TOUR"!
This news, like a hurricane that suddenly appeared, swept the whole of Japan in an instant.
The SUN, an international band that has created countless miracles and broken countless records, has only held one concert in the four years since its debut!
This makes THE SUN Fan Club, which has more than one million registered fans, the fan club second only to SMAP, not crazy...
It's completely in short supply!
Therefore, in recent years, fans have been shouting at THE SUN and urging them to hold concerts!
Countless phone calls and letters were sent to Sony Music from THE SUN fans across the country.
Even the fan club organized a group of people, holding signs all day long, standing at the gate of Sony Music, trying to make Sony hold THE SUN's concert as soon as possible through demonstrations.
Such a grand occasion also gave Sony a headache.
The preparatory plan for the Dome Tour was largely due to the strong demand of the fans, and it finally took shape.
It's also funny to say that Sony, which has always adopted the strategy of "squeezing dry" and "sucking blood" for its singers, will ignore the concert as the most profitable means.
This also makes THE SUN fans,Think that Sony's vampire businessmen,Changed sex.。。。
In fact, this is also the top level of Sony Music that fans misunderstand.
It's not that Sony doesn't want to hold a concert.,It's afraid that Kiyoshi Sakamoto will be too busy.。。。
At that time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was busy with work, which led to the occurrence of the "fainting incident", which made Sony criticized by the public, and many fans strongly condemned Sony's artist strategy through various channels.
This made Sony anxious at the time, and the company's stock price fell a lot in a short period of time.
The picture of fans surrounding the gate and constantly holding signs and holding signs in a sit-in demonstration is still vivid.
That was when Kiyoshi Sakamoto first debuted, and the number of fans was less than half of what it is today...
It was after that incident that Sony began to reduce the amount of work announcements of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, just for fear that he would faint again or something, and then, a huge fan base came to the door and asked for an explanation...
What's more, the number of members of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's personal fan club and the number of members of the SUN fan club combined are more than two million!
This is probably the artist with the largest number of official fans in the entire entertainment industry!
Therefore, Sony is very cautious when dealing with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, for fear that the "fainting incident" and the like will appear again...
What happens to Kiyoshi Sakamoto like this, more than two million fans, one person spits a mouthful of water, and can drown the entire Sony...
In this way, when Sony helps Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN take over the work, he will also take into account the personal physical condition of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the three of them.
And the other two people of THE SUN are also in Aiwu and Wuxia, and their workload is relatively reduced.
Therefore, although Sony knows that holding concerts makes a lot of money and makes money quickly, it still doesn't dare to hold a concert casually.
After all, singing for hours on a row is also very taxing on the singer's body.
Not to mention the concert tour...
However, this tour was also decided after discussing with the three SUN in advance.
For this reason, Sony even postponed, originally planning to take advantage of the victory and let THE SUN release a second English single to continue the plan to enter the European and American music scene.
。。。。。。
A week later, on November 17th.
THE STARTING POINT OF THE "THE SUNRISE TOUR" TOUR IS SAPPORO DOME IN HOKKAIDO.
For the three days of concerts, the time is set at 7:30 to 10 o'clock in the evening.
After all, the evening is the right time to swing ...
The concert venue is so large that if all the seats are open, the Sapporo Dome can accommodate up to 50,000 people!
Therefore, the start of admission is also scheduled two hours before the start of the concert.
In the vicinity of the venue, there is also a booth selling goods such as towels, unisex T-shirts, fans with the faces of THE SUN, and even keychains for fans who come to the concert.
In addition, there are all the singles and albums that THE SUN has released so far.
。。。
Nov. 17, 4 p.m.
The three SUN, who had rehearsed several times in the morning, entered the backstage of the concert hall in advance, accompanied by the staff.
At this time, there was already a long queue at the surrounding stalls outside the dome.
In the background, there are so many congratulatory flower baskets from all walks of life that they almost block the door of the lounge.
After all, it was THE SUN's first tour, and there were many people who sent congratulations.
Sakamoto glanced at it and was shocked to find that almost all the well-known big studios and record companies in the circle had sent flower baskets.
Genesys, Amuse, Ai Hui, Warner, etc., especially the flower basket of Universal, made Sakamoto Kiyoshi also take a few more looks.
He didn't expect that Universal Records, which had been cheated by him, would actually send congratulations.
"Is this a gesture of goodwill?"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto speculated in his heart.
In addition to this, there are also flower baskets sent in the name of individuals.
It's all in the past few years, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi have met, have cooperated, and have a good relationship with the flower basket.
In the music scene, Masaharu Fukuyama, Yasu Akimoto, SMAP, dren, Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Raiwei, etc., singers who are important in the music world all sent flower baskets.
Especially the flower basket from Sakai Spring also made the corners of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's mouth rise involuntarily.
That "sister", since he was rescued last time, although the two are very different in age, Sakai Izumizu seems to treat him as a younger brother, often calling him, asking for warmth, and asking him to eat with him from time to time.
This made Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who is the eldest son in the family, enjoy the pampering and love from the big sister...
He was also very childish in front of Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki all day long, showing off the caring text messages sent to him by Sakai Izumi, which made his teammates very jealous.
Sakai spring water!
The eternal goddess of the music world!
The flower basket sent by the film and television industry, although it is much weaker than the lineup of Sakamoto Kiyoraku.
However, I still have to sigh that Kiyoshi Sakamoto has a wide range of connections.
Abe Kan, Takayuki Yamada, Takashi Miike, Tomohisa Yamashita, Kyoko Fukada, etc...
Among them, the flower basket from the predecessor Kagawa Teruyuki was a little surprising to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
Although he and Kagawa Teruyuki are the same seniors of Todai, however, between Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Kagawa Teruyuki, there is only a one-sided relationship, and they have each other's contact information, but they are not very connected.
Even so, seeing Teruyuki Kagawa's flower basket, Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"I can't imagine that in just four years, your network has expanded so widely... Uncle Ishida looked at the many flower baskets and said to Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a smile, "Amazing!"
"Of course, don't look at who I am, I'm Kiyoshi Sakamoto!" someone laughed stinkily.
"Aha. Hahaha... ”
