Chapter 126: Title Song (Subscription!Ticket!)
"The ratings for the premiere... It's over twenty!!"
It was the day after the six-member group of "Dragon Sakura" gathered at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's apartment to watch the premiere.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto's apartment.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto was holding his mobile phone at this time, listening to the other end of the phone, and Yui Aragaki was excited to report to himself the ratings of the first episode that just came out today.
"Eh, such a high ?!!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was surprised when he heard that the ratings exceeded twenty.
But the feeling of surprise was fleeting, and immediately turned into great joy and excitement.
This is his first time starring in a TV series, and the premiere results are so good, it also makes Sakamoto Kiyoshi a little nervous, and let go.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto has always believed that with his strong memory and learning ability, learning to perform is a very easy thing. And when I usually practice acting with Gakki and Se-chan, I'm much better than them.
However, it wasn't until he joined the crew of "Dragon Sakura" that Kiyoshi Sakamoto realized that he was a rookie who couldn't cook anymore in terms of performance.
Looking at the old drama bone Abe Kuan, the acting skills of Kyoko Hasegawa, and the fledgling Tomohisa Yamashita, Sakamoto Kiyoshi felt that there was only one thing that could surpass them in his acting skills, that is, his line skills.
However, in terms of emotional expression, body movements, performance tension, and aura, needless to say Abe Kuan, even his friends, Masami Nagasawa, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto can't compare.
At that time, he was devastated.
After being reborn, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was smooth sailing in music, with Sony as a backer and Masaharu Fukuyama as a teacher, and soon emerged in the music world and became a popular king of the new generation.
Because of this, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's mentality has changed somewhat, although it is not obvious, but it has become a little arrogant.
And when I received the role of "Dragon Sakura", I naively thought that I would be able to perform this role easily.
However, reality gave him a slap in the face.
Syllable!
When he was filming the first one, his clumsy performance was like a slap in the head and made him cover it all at once.
From the invincibility of music to the confusion of acting skills, the huge contrast made Sakamoto Kiyoshi begin to doubt his ability and doubt whether he is suitable to continue to mix in the entertainment industry...
However, because he is not a real fifteen-year-old boy, his soul is a young man in his twenties, and his soul is not as fragile as those neon young people, so he can quickly recover from the great sense of loss.
At that time, he knew that he was not a genius, he was just an ordinary person with a little golden finger and a little foreknowledge of the future, nothing more...
After he woke up, he immediately put on a shy face and went to Uncle Abe Kuan to ask him to teach him acting skills.
Because, at that time, he knew what his advantages were.
Learning, memory, and foresight of the future.
These are his three most powerful weapons.
Predicting the future is only applicable to Kiyoshi Sakamoto in laying out some plans in advance, which is very helpful, and it does not make him an artist with super strength in his own right.
Only a strong learning ability and memory can make Kiyoshi Sakamoto become the top artist in the entire neon entertainment industry.
And to give full play to these two abilities, there is no other shortcut, only continuous efforts!
Only by constantly memorizing and learning can Sakamoto Kiyoshi learn things that are helpful to him, such as music creation, martial arts, and performance, all of which require Sakamoto Kiyoshi to study and memorize seriously, so that he can slowly become his own things.
After becoming more humble in mentality, Kiyoshi Sakamoto improved his acting skills by leaps and bounds during the filming of "Dragon Sakura", and he quickly improved so quickly that he was soon praised by director Kanwa Abe, as well as the screenwriter.
However, when it came to the premiere of "Dragon Sakura", Kiyoshi Sakamoto was still more worried.
Because in history, this TV series is a very classic TV series, and what he is afraid about is whether because of his appearance, he will lose Xiaoike's position, and the ratings will be lower than in history, and then the whole show will no longer be classic?
It was with this thought in mind that he was so nervous.
It wasn't until the premiere ratings came out that Kiyoshi Sakamoto really let go of the big stone in his heart.
In his heart, "Dragon Sakura" is a very special existence.
It was "Dragon Sakura" that brought him to realize the neon TV drama culture.
It is also because of the hard work in "Dragon Sakura" that he has always supported him and was admitted to a university that he might not have been able to get into.
Therefore, after knowing that his participation made "Dragon Sakura" shine more brightly, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also felt great joy and satisfaction all of a sudden.
"I, after all, didn't ruin this show... ”
Sleeping in his bed, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't forget to talk to Gakki on the phone about interesting things and daily trivialities during the filming.
。。。。。。
"Yaga Sakamoto, you're only fifteen years old, and you're already such a powerful artist. Two years ago, I was fifteen years old, and I was just a small model. At that time, I was still worrying about what to wear today and tomorrow. It's funny to think about it now. Although I have just started my career as an actor, I don't know what my future will be... ”
Suddenly, Gakki's tone slowly became a little low as he talked about his current worries.
The longer I know Kiyoshi Sakamoto,The inferiority complex in Yui Aragaki is getting deeper and deeper.,Compared to Kiyoshi Sakamoto,She always feels that she has a lot of shortcomings.,But I don't know how to start.,A lot of times,It's just the people around you.,Parents,Sakamoto Kiyoshi.,Push forward.,I don't have my own ideas at all.。。。
Hearing Gakki's confused and somewhat depressed voice, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little unsure of what to say, after all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was not Yui Aragaki and couldn't help her plan everything, even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew most of her future.
In Gakki's voice, Kiyoshi Sakamoto heard the confusion about the future, as well as the troubles he had when he was fifteen years old, and it was at this time that many words flashed through his mind, and these words reminded Kiyoshi Sakamoto of a song.
Fifteen years old?
Bewildered?
"Future?"
"Confused fifteen?"
"My future self?"
Thinking about it, Kiyoshi Sakamoto slowly remembered the lyrics and melody of that song, and unconsciously, sang it.
"Fifteen-year-old me, I have troubles that I can't talk to others"
"But if you write a letter to your future self"
"Maybe I'll be able to say it honestly."
"Now, I feel like I'm going to fail, and I'm going to cry, and I don't have a sense of existence."
"Whose word should we believe?"
While Kiyoshi Sakamoto was softly singing these lyrics, Yui Aragaki on the other end of the phone was just quietly listening to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's singing.
When she heard Kiyoshi Sakamoto's lyrics clearly, her eyes slowly overflowed with crystal tears.
"Now it's time to throw in the towel, cry, and disappear"
"Just trust your voice and keep moving forward"
"No matter what time it is, grief cannot be bypassed"
"Smile and face your current life"
"Live in the moment"
When she heard Sakamoto sing the chorus, Aragaki Yui's tears overflowed her eyes and slowly flowed from her godly eyes.
However, she didn't wipe them with her hands, she just let them continue to flow, and she was afraid that if she cried, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's singing would stop, so she covered her mouth with her hands and tried her best to resist the urge to cry...
And Sakamoto Kiyoshi, when he began to sing this song that had a deep impression in his previous life, he immediately remembered the name of this song.
"Letter ~ To Fifteen-Year-Old You ~ "
This song is a single released by Angela Aki in 08.
The meaning of this song is, to put it simply, the current self, a letter to the fifteen-year-old self, telling the former self to believe in yourself strongly, even if it is sad, don't give up, don't admit defeat, live in the moment, and hope that you can be happy.
This song is also the first Japanese song that Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned in his previous life.
And now, under Gakki's depression, Sakamoto Kiyoshi remembered this song that brought him a lot of emotion, so Sakamoto Kiyoshi also sang the whole song in its entirety to Yui Aragaki on the other end of the phone.
His idea is very simple, that is, he hopes to give himself a lot of emotion and inspiration to this song, which can make Gakki feel less depressed, and can also make her feel inspired like himself.
After singing the song "Letter ~ To Fifteen-Year-Old You ~", Kiyoshi Sakamoto quietly held his mobile phone and put it to his ear, waiting for Gakki's response.
The silence lasted about five minutes.
Finally, Kiyoshi Sakamoto heard on the phone, a question from Gakki.
"Is this your new song?" Gakki's voice, with a hint of crying, was not obvious, but Kiyoshi Sakamoto could still hear it.
Gakki cried.
When Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought of this, he also said to her in a gentle voice, "Yes, just now." ”
“。。。 What's the name of this song?" Gakki's voice seemed to gradually brighten after hearing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's answer.
"Letter ~ To Fifteen-Year-Old You ~". ”
"It's a song for you, and I decided to make it the title track of my solo album. Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little embarrassed to add.
"Huh, really?" Hearing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's somewhat restrained but warm voice, Gakki suddenly felt that this guy was not a piece of wood.
"Yaga Sakamoto,I can't think of it.,You're not a nerd.,You're still very good at comforting girls.。。。 Aragaki Yui thought about this in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slowly and unconsciously raised.
However, Yui Aragaki will not be comforted so easily, although she has now changed from the low state just now to the current happy state.
"If I buy your album and see that the title song isn't this one? Gakki deliberately bullied Kiyoshi Sakamoto, trying to get the situation over.
Hearing that Gakki, who has returned to normal and is proud of his daily life, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also replied very cooperatively.
"Yes!
