Chapter 222: MS Twentieth Anniversary

The appearance number, that is, the order of appearance.

Generally speaking, the higher the popularity, the higher the status, and the higher the seniority, the more backward it will be.

According to the information obtained by Uncle Ishida, TV Asahi has worked hard for the 20th anniversary special this time.

It is said that Ayumi Hamazaki, Hikaru Utada, and Masaharu Fukuyama were invited to play an important role in the music scene.

And there are two popular groups under Janiss, Arashi and KAT-TUN.

If you add the returning Sakamoto Kiyoshi, such a combination can be regarded as luxurious.

And such a guest lineup, in the order of appearance, will definitely give the MS program team a headache.

Judging from the performance order list of the programs in hand, this MS 20th anniversary special, the final finale is Japan's No. 1 singer, Ayumi Hamasaki.

2006 was a year in which Ayumi Hamasaki set a number of sales records despite the decline in popularity and record sales

Although the seventh album released in January is the first album of Ayumi Hamasaki to sell more than one million.

However, with the single "Startin'/Born To Be...", which was released in March, and the single "BLUE BIRD", which was discovered in June, she still set two new records.

First, she surpassed Seiko Matsuda to become the female singer with the most number one singles in Japanese history, and then became the first female singer in Japanese history to sell more than 20 million singles.

Such Ayumi Hamasaki is still the first sister in the Japanese music scene, and the finale is not controversial at all.

And in front of Ayumi Hamasaki, it was one of the four great singers, Hikaru Utada.

This year's Hikaru Utada is also a very productive year.

First of all, in February, they released the single "Keep Tryin'" in a brisk rock style.

In April, the advertising song "This Is Love" was released in the form of a single with letters.

In June, he released his fourth Japanese album "ULTRA BLUE".

Although it can only be used as a backdrop under the sweeping momentum of the SUN band, Hikaru Utada, as one of the four major singers, is still popular.

Therefore, it is normal to be in the position of the second finale.

However, in front of Hikaru Utada, Kiyoshi Sakamoto unexpectedly saw the name of his teacher.

Masaharu Fukuyama came in third from the bottom.

Among these people, it can be said that Masaharu Fukuyama is the least active person in the music scene this year.

This handsome uncle has not released a new single in this year.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto contacted him last time.,He's still working on his first photo album.,Running around.,Collecting materials.。。。

It's said to be rushing.,In fact, it's just traveling everywhere.,Photography at the same time.。。。

Lazy guy...

Kiyoshi Sakamoto feels that if Yoyoshi, the president of his Amuse office, has such an artist who likes to wave outside all day long, does not release new songs, does not go on TV, and does not act, he will definitely cry to death.

How much less money do you have to make!!

Masaharu Fukuyama is also in the more relaxed Amuse office.,If you were in other firms with stricter management.,I'm sure I'll be beaten by the president of the company.。。。

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto feels that with his teacher's current status and qualifications, he should be one of the best "big guys" in music at Amuse.

In that case, it's not impossible to play outside.

Well, I found a good excuse for my teacher's inactivity, and if I let Fukuyama know that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a student, is so "thoughtful" about him, and he goes out to surf and makes a good excuse, he will definitely be "happy"...

。。。

Except for these three singers who are obviously higher than Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the other guests, compared to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, are simply vulnerable.

You know, THE SUN's debut album, released in April this year, has exceeded two million copies by September!

Such terrible sales, in the eyes of the outside world, basically this year's record album chart, must be the SUN band again.

In the case that it is already possible to book in advance, this year's annual album sales champion, as the lead singer of the band, the core Sakamoto Kiyoshi, in this MS 20th anniversary special, the order of appearance is actually in front of Arashi!

This made Sony, who received this invitation, feel very angry.

Because, whether it is results or popularity, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN combined, they must be much stronger than Arashi, who debuted for seven years.

Although Sakamoto Kiyoshi has stopped performing arts activities for half a year, this does not mean that the great achievements made by Sakamoto Kiyoshi this year will not disappear.

The two million album sales are still clearly hanging on the first place on the annual chart.

Such a Sakamoto Kiyoshi is actually ranked in front of Arashi, who has only sold hundreds of thousands of singles, so it's a bit too much to say...

This is why, even though Uncle Ishida thinks that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's announcement of his return at the MS 20th anniversary special is the best way, he still feels that his brows are tightly knit.

Uncle Ishida was a little worried that this might be a "conspiracy".

In this order, at best, it may have been the idea of the MS program team, and at worst, it was the idea of TV Asahi.

However, according to the analysis of Ishida old fritters, this could not be the idea of the MS program team.

Because, they didn't dare to risk offending Kiyoshi Sakamoto and offending Sony, and do such a thing.

So, Uncle Ishida thinks that this must be the idea of TV Asahi.

And behind this idea, there may be a shadow of Dennis.

After all,Arashi is someone's combination?。。。

Hearing Uncle Ishida's analysis, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also thought silently in his heart.

He believes that this is not because Dennis teamed up with TV Asahi to make such a show in order to target himself.

He felt that the order of appearance this time should be a test of Janis for him.

After a half-year gap in the music scene, we will see if he still has the same appeal and popularity as before the holiday.

"Interesting... ”

"In that case, if I should not fight, doesn't it mean that I am already in the middle of the river?"

"No matter how you try, as long as I stand on the stage mountain, I am still me, and I am still the Sony little king who dominates the music scene!!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was thinking like this in his heart, secretly clenched his fists, and his eyes, which were originally a little dull, suddenly became sharp.

He sat up straight and said to Uncle Ishida, who was sitting opposite, "Don't think about it so much, take this invitation." ”

"It's okay to play in front of them, anyway, as long as my performance overwhelms them, as they play behind me, they are the ones to worry about!"

"Even if Dennis and Asahi join forces to do something, then it depends on who the opponent is!"

Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a serious face, Uncle Ishida suddenly felt that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was serious at last year's record awards, after losing and vowed to take the big prize back, is back.

"This is the temperament that Sony's little king should have!!"

Uncle thought so in his heart.

。。。。。。

The pace of time, always in such a hurry, before people can appreciate the charm of September, they are taken away by time...

October 13th, 8 p.m.

TV Asahi, in the studio hall of Music Station.

"Thank you very much for watching, you are watching the 20th anniversary special program of Music Station, and now we have a special guest !! tonight."

"Applause, please!"

The 20th anniversary special program of Music Station officially began with the opening remarks of Tamori and the warm applause of the audience.

It's a two-hour music special, and in a nutshell, it's a special that invites a bunch of singers to sing.

Compared to the usual music station, it's just that this time, the guest lineup is very strong.

According to the list announced by TV Asahi in advance, the audience has already seen names like Ayumi Hamasaki, Hikaru Utada, and Masaharu Fukuyama.

And one of the names in particular lifted the audience's spirits at once.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto!

This Sony little king, who has been on vacation for half a year, is about to return to the MS 20th anniversary special !!

Such news made the fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN very excited.

Although in the past six months, there has been the movie "Death Note" starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and the reasoning "Golden Dreamland" that he wrote without doing his job, which can allow his fans to relieve the pain of lovesickness, but fans who are not satisfied with it, of course, hope that Kiyoshi Sakamoto can return as soon as possible and let everyone hear more and better music works.

After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans only pay attention to this genius boy because of his music.

In this way, the news that Sakamoto Kiyoshi was preparing to return was spread in early October.

The eyes of the media, fans, opponents, and everyone are focused on this MS 20th anniversary special program.

MS, which started at eight o'clock on time, also kicked off the return of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

When the audience in front of the TV, as well as the audience who came to the scene, saw the familiar figure coming out behind Masaharu Fukuyama, they all screamed excitedly!

"Sakamoto-kun !!"

"It's true!!Sakamoto-kun is back!!"

As always, the female audience full of people at the scene expressed their greatest joy to the handsome boy.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, seeing that the audience at the scene was so enthusiastic, also waved and greeted the audience on both sides with a smile on his face.

Of course, I didn't forget to face the lens of the camera and pose a handsome pose to the audience and friends in front of the TV.

This kind of behavior also made the female audience scream constantly...

Sitting down next to Masaharu Fukuyama, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was poked in the arm by the teacher he hadn't seen for a long time, and when Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at Masaharu Fukuyama suspiciously, he found that his teacher was saying to himself with a "lewd" face.

"It's very popular, you kid... ”

Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who heard Fukuyama say this, also deliberately replied with a proud face.

"That's right, I don't look at whose student it is! How handsome a teacher is, how handsome a student is, you say, right?"

"Teacher?!"
