Chapter 394: How can there be such a handsome rogue
In the early hours of that night, Sony Music's official website, unsurprisingly, was blown up by a huge number of visits.
You must know that Sony Music's server, after being exploded by Sakamoto Kiyoshi fans once last time, has strengthened the construction of the network, as well as the number of servers.
However, it is of no avail.
It should have been exploded, or it was exploded.
A large number of fans who couldn't log in and auditioned Sakamoto's fresh album all called one after another to complain to Sony Music.
It's just that,This time,Nana Hashimoto also joined.,The army of fans who called to complain...
However, Sony Music is also a subsidiary of Sony Group, and there are many talents in IT networking.
Although I was surprised by the fact that it was blown up again, I responded quickly.
After emergency repairs, in a short period of time, the server was diverted, so that Sony Music's official website could continue to be accessed.
I have to say that in just one minute, it exceeded the usual number of visits by a hundred times, which caught Sony off guard, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's Sakamoto Kiyoshi!"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, whose popularity has already caught up with the two major male gods of the country, has a huge influence among young people that should not be underestimated.
This new album is a solo work that Kiyoshi Sakamoto has re-released after a long time.
Therefore, in order to repay the fans and fans for their continued support and companionship, Kiyoshi Sakamoto made an exception and pre-sold this album for the first time.
Although Sony and Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself are very confident in the sales of the album.
However, this is a test of popularity.
The test of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's personal popularity is whether it will fall after leaving THE SUN.
Or is it more popular?
This is all Sony and Kiyoshi Sakamoto, very interested.
Therefore, this album, a week before the album was released, there was a wave of pre-sales.
However, the pre-sale sales figures on the first day made Sony smile from ear to ear.
At the same time, it also made the public fully realize that a large part of the reason for the success of THE SUN is because of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
The first day of pre-sale sales was...
650,000 !!
After only one day of pre-sale sales, it almost locked in the top ten of the 2008 public trust chart album annual list!
You know, last year's tenth place on the annual album list of the public trust list, it was Sakamoto Kiyoshi's sister, YUI's "CAN'T BUY MY LOVE", and the annual sales were only 640,000 copies...
In other words, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's one-day pre-sale sales are equivalent to the annual sales of last year's popular female singer YUI!
This terrifying pre-sale volume directly shocked the entire Japanese music scene, and major music critics and music magazines all shouted "The wolf is coming!"
In order to prevent their singers from becoming cannon fodder, major record companies have moved the release period of their singers backwards.
And the pre-sale of 650,000 is not the final result of the pre-sale period.
Although record sales in Japan are generally short-term sales models, even if it is Kiyoshi Sakamoto, THE SUN or the future double A group, Arashi and AKB, it is inevitable.
It's no surprise that sales on the first day are staggering, the second day is discounted, and the third day is discounted.
However, even in the pre-sale on the second day, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans were enthusiastic and still contributed 400,000 pre-sale sales!
This directly helped Kiyoshi Sakamoto set a new music record.
The fastest pre-sale solo album with more than one million copies!
And when the one-week pre-sale period ended, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's second solo album, "Cherry Blossom Season", had already reached the 1.5 million mark in pre-sale!!
If nothing else, all pre-sale albums will be shipped on the first day of the album's release
In that case
As a result, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album almost locked the top of the 2008 public trust chart album annual chart.
You must know that it was THE SUN's second band album "Zero in the Morning" that won the album annual chart last year, with sales figures of 1.7 million copies!
And now, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has released a solo album, and in just one week of pre-sale, it is almost close to the album sales of THE SUN for several months.
That's why, according to the public, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the biggest factor in the success of THE SUN.
And because of this explosive sales, many media gave Sakamoto Kiyoshi a nickname.
Sales hooligan!
It means that as soon as he and THE SUN released a new song, they swept the praise of various sales charts.
In 2008, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was menacing!
。。。。。。
March 27th.
"Hahaha, you have a new nickname. Yui Aragaki took a copy of the entertainment news and laughed at Kiyoshi Sakamoto very unvividly, "Sales hooligan?!!Haha, you're a big hooligan!"
This is in Yui Aragaki's apartment.
The people present were not only Yui Aragaki who couldn't stand up with a straight smile, Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a black line on his face, but also Sesame Sauce, who was also a member of the "Acting Club", and a young dog who shook his head...
"Qing, I have to say, this nickname of yours is even cooler than your previous nicknames of "Little Prince Sony" and "National Little Male God"!" As she spoke, Masami Nagasawa felt that what she said was nonsense, and she couldn't help but laugh with Yui Aragaki together.
"Hahaha... ”
"It's so funny... And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the two "bad friends" speechlessly and muttered.
Then, he saw Reina Nengnian who was squinting and staring at him blankly.
And this is a normal child.
However, he found that Nengnian seemed to have been staring at his face for a long time, which made him ask "What's wrong?"
"It's not. Nengnian Rena replied obediently.
"I'm just thinking, senior, you are so handsome, how can you be called a "hooligan" by others?" Nengnian Lingna asked with a puzzled face, the question she had been thinking about just now.
"After all, how can there be such a handsome rascal... ”
"Uh... Kiyoshi Sakamoto was stunned.
He doesn't know at all, what is the structure of this Nengnian Lingna's brain circuit...
"Hahaha!!"
This big truth, which has a big brain, but at the same time seems to be very reasonable, makes Ka-chan and Sesame-chan, who are laughing forward and backwards, laugh just about to stop, and strike again.
"Oops, stomach... My stomach hurts from laughter... ”
Sakamoto Kiyoshi clearly saw a few tears running away mischievously from the corners of the eyes of the two women. . .
It wasn't a sad tear, it was a tear of laughter and crying.
This made Sakamoto Kiyoshi also want to cry without tears.
"Oh my God, please accept Nengnian, a four-dimensional girl!!"
。。。
When the two girls were almost laughing, Sakamoto Kiyoshi presided over the scene helplessly.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is here to give us a make-up lesson for our young children's shoes, not for you to laugh at me... ”
And why do the acting club trios get together?
Actually, it's for Nengnian Reina.
Just last month, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto went to talk to Masaharu Fukuyama about a collaborative single, he recommended Reina Noeni to Masaharu Fukuyama.
That is, in the upcoming filming of "The Devotion of Suspect X", the heroine's daughter "Misato Hanaoka" is the role.
After Sony's negotiation and Masaharu Fukuyama's recommendation, Reina Nengnian successfully won this key role.
participated in an important supporting role in the film for the first time, which was an important step in the career of Reina Nengnian as an actor.
Even if Nengnian Reina entered Sony, she was arranged with a professional acting teacher to give her lessons.
Coupled with Nengnian Reina's own acting talent, she is comfortable playing this role that doesn't require too much acting skills.
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is a little uneasy, still feels that this step is very important.
Moreover, he knows that the film "The Devotion of Suspect X" is a topic of both box office and word-of-mouth.
If Nengnian can rely on his excellent performance in this film that is destined to be a hit, showing his acting skills that are not in line with his pure appearance, he will inevitably become the object of mass media pursuit and get the attention of the film supervisors, in that case, for Nengnian Reina's next road as an actor, it will inevitably be smoother.
This made Sakamoto Kiyoshi have to be concerned.
Therefore, in order to make sure that Reina Nengnian can rely on this role and get attention, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is in the release of the new album, specially called Shuangmei, Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa, who are also girls and have been one step ahead in acting, to give Rena Nengnian a lesson.
After all, "The Devotion of Suspect X" is about to start filming, and it's not fast to grind the gun...
However, while the three of them were making up lessons for Nengnian Rena, something unexpected to Sakamoto Kiyoshi was happening.
。。。。。。
Tokyo.
Universal Records.
An important meeting called "Blocking Kiyoshi Sakamoto" is being held.
The initiator of this meeting is none other than the president of Universal Music, Kenji Kitano, who has been doing all kinds of small actions behind his back!
I saw that in the spacious conference room, there were the heads of departments of Universal Music.
Director of the Distribution Department, Director of the Publicity Department, Director of the Artist...
And sitting on the main seat is Kenji Kitano.
"The theme of this meeting is to discuss how to stop Sony's Kiyoshi Sakamoto from continuing to sweep the music scene!" Standing next to the projection screen is Kenji Kitano's microphone, Kuroda, the president's secretary.
"You can see that in the past three years, Sony's Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN have become the annual sales champions, not only that, but the singers who released films at the same time were all taken away from the public's attention by their strong sales, resulting in a dismal sales situation. This cronie of Kenji Kitano, who was promoted after taking office, pointed to the big screen of the projector and said, "This includes several groups of singers under our Universal umbrella... ”
"Because of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's relationship, our market share in recent years has been continuously seized, and in the past three years, it has been lower than Sony's, and the economic benefits lost have exceeded billions!"
"Universal and Sony are both competitors, so we can't be suppressed by each other like this!"
"For this reason, we must stop Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album from selling well again!"
