Chapter 90: THE SUN Signing Session (2)
Chiba Masaki, who doubted whether he was in the wrong band.,I want to quit.,There's a narcissist in it.,A group of tsundere men in it.,But it's too late.ććć
got on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's thief ship, and still wanted to run, which didn't exist.
After catching up with Ogawa Zhen, Sakamoto Kiyoshi used his status as a senior to hug Ogawa's neck to prevent him from resisting, and then rubbed his scalp with a hand knife, making Ogawa Zhen, a calm man, also scream.
After taking a breath, Kiyoshi Sakamoto then walked back, pulled up Masaki Chiba, who was still thinking about whether to quit the band, and the three of them walked to the fourth floor of Tower Records.
Tower Records is a large record store located in a building, starting from the second floor of the building and continuing to the sixth floor, all selling records.
According to J POP, OST, ROCK, JAZZ, and CLASSICAL, the second floor is the J POP monopoly, the third floor is OST, the fourth floor is the destination of the SUN band's book signing, the ROCK exclusive area, the fifth floor is jazz, and the sixth floor is classical.
THE SUN, first and foremost, is a rock band, and secondly an idol.
This company's positioning is completely consistent with the self-positioning of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's three people.
In RB, the word idol is not so simple.
Before the nineties, the word idol was synonymous with beauty, innocence, and positivity.
But Akimoto brought his kitten club, a girl group composed of vegetarian and amateurs, who sang out of tune and danced along the way, but under the bombardment of the media, they became popular, more popular than anyone else.
The works of kittens and related spin-off groups and solo members basically dominated the ORICON from the second half of 86 to the first half of 87 (36 weeks of the overall 52 weeks).
It is conceivable that the kitten club was completely invincible at its peak.
The kitten club, which had only been popular for a few years, disbanded in 1987.
But it was such a short-lived girl group that made the word idol change its flavor from then on.
Before the Kitten Club, who were the idols?
Momoe Yamaguchi, Seiko Matsuda, Kyoko Koizumi, Hiroko Yakushimaru, Akina Nakamori!!
Every one of them has been pulled out so far with a shiny name!
But when the kitten club came out, everything changed.
The name idol becomes a double-edged sword, which can both mask your inferior strength and erase your various hard efforts.
No matter how hard you try, you're just an idol.
idols have become a somewhat dejorative category of artists, and they have become one of the lowest levels in the entertainment industry.
At this critical juncture in 2005, the female idol circle has been rising together.
This is because of the fact that the hegemony of Good Morning is no longer there.
Good Morning Girl Group, a girl idol group that debuted in 1997, reached its peak from 2000 to 2002.
However, due to the resignation of the president, the reform of the new president, and a large number of reappointment members, this once glorious idol group began to decline, and from 2004 to 2005, that is, now, it lost its dominance in the female idol circle.
Therefore, the major brokerage companies that saw this piece of fat began to create their own "Good Morning Family" in this year.
Therefore, Yasushi Akimoto, who has a unique vision, will start his Akihabara plan at this node.
And AKB, which will be known as the "RB Music Cancer" and "National Women's Troupe" in the future, was born under the hands of Yasushi Akimoto at such a time when the era was handed over this year.
But as far as male idols are concerned, they are not like female idols, and the male idols in Janisli are already a unique system in the circle.
And Sony's Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the SUN band with him as the core are not male idols in essence, but singers with various characteristics of idols and more musical talent than idols.
In the eyes of music critics and the media, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN are both idols, but in the eyes of real musicians, this biased view insults both Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN.
They are just singers with all the characteristics of idols, more talented and promising than idols, and more popular and sought after than singers.
This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN.
This feeling is very similar to that of Kimura in the early days.
Kimura is a precedent for an individual to become popular first and then to be popular.
The same goes for Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
The only difference is that Kimura uses his invincible influence in Japanese dramas to attract public attention to his SMAP.
And Kiyoshi Sakamoto used his own talented musical talent, as well as a warm voice and handsome face, like a whirlwind, to appear in front of the world, thus bringing his influence to THE SUN together.
The two felt very similar, but they were completely different.
BUT NOW KIMURA AND HIS SMAP ARE STILL IN FULL SWING, WHILE SAKAMOTO KIYOSHI AND HIS SUN ARE JUST BEGINNING THEIR JOURNEY.
And the first obstacle is Arashi.
Only by defeating Arashi can he be qualified to challenge the RB first day group SMAP.
When the three of them arrived at the ROCK specialty area on the fourth floor, they saw a long table and three chairs, arranged at the entrance, waiting for the arrival of the owner.
At the entrance, the left and right sides are filled with posters of the band THE SUN, some are single cover posters, and some are posters of the three of them alone or together.
The three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi just sat there, in charge of signing autographs, or shaking hands with fans, and said a few words like this, although it was simple, but it was not easy.
Because there are too many people coming.,Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who looked around outside for a week just now.,I didn't expect that there would be so many fans coming over today.,It seems that after this signing meeting.,The hand is going to be wasted.ććć
Outside the Tower Records building, several corridors were crowded with fans who had come to sign autographs, and the staff had no choice but to add a few more corridors for safety.
There are people of all ages and walks of life, but there are more young people and women.
After all, the three sons of THE SUN are all handsome guys.
And because there were too many people, in order to make it easier for fans to buy singles and get numbers, they went to sign autographs for the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, so the person in charge of Tower Records deliberately came up with a good idea.
It is to put the single sales place on the first floor.
In this case, fans who come to Tower Records can first buy THE SUN's single CD on the first floor, get the number, and then go up to the fourth floor in order to find the three sons of THE SUN to sign autographs.
This not only avoids the lack of space on the fourth floor, which is prone to accidents, but also makes it convenient for the staff and fans.
But it's just a bit far, I bought a CD on the first floor, and I have to go to the fourth floor to meet the three sons of THE SUN and get autographs.
But in the eyes of fans, this is not a problem.
Many fans came to line up with backpacks.
Why?
Because these people came here to line up as early as last night.
The bags are full of things prepared for queuing up all night, including food to solve hunger, folding beds to solve sleeping problems, and comics to solve boredom, etc., which are essential items for queuing up all night.
I have to sigh at the enthusiasm of these fans for chasing stars.
At 10:30 a.m., THE SUN's second single "PLANET", the first signing session, officially began at Tower Records, a record store in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.
Every fan lined up in an orderly manner, first entered the first floor of Tower Records from the outside line, and after buying a CD at the single sales counter, they took the numbered number plate and walked up to the fourth floor one by one, looking for their idols and signing autographs.
The three sons of SUN, sitting on a chair, wrote down the signatures of the fans who came to sign the single CD one by one, and attached a sentence or two of blessings, and the scene was harmonious and harmonious.
Some female fans also proposed to shake hands with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi also satisfied them one by one.
After all, it's all girls.,Touch your hands.,What's the drop.ććć
Of course,As members of THE SUN,Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki,It's also their own fan group.,It's not just that some fans ask for a handshake.,This usual request.,Specially came to meet Ogawa really a female fan.,Actually asked Ogawa Ma,Laugh aććć
Laugh a ??!!
You're kidding me???
"You dare to call Ogawa, a man with facial paralysis, laugh at one, you are impatient, girl!" When Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaki Chiba saw a girl who was at most fifteen years old and made their request, both of them had "girl, you are still too young" expressions, ready to see how Ogawa really responded.
However, the next scene made the two of them almost fall off their jaws in fright.
Ogawa really smiled, although in the eyes of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki, it was just a tug at the corners of his mouth, and it wasn't a smile at all...
But for that girl, it was a big surprise, on the show, performing, taking pictures, all of them were cold facial paralysis style of Xiao Chuan Zhen, actually smiled at himself...
Laughed at myself ...
I laughed myself...
I have laughed...
Laughed...
Finish...
In the end, this girl who happily lost her soul walked out of Tower Records with the help of the staff.
"Terrible, what's wrong today? Why is it so strange, usually he doesn't have any opinion on my handsomeness, but today he actually said such shameless words, not only that, although the girl is good, but it won't make him laugh at one, he just laughs at one, did he eat the wrong thing today?"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto was curious, sat down in a chair, tilted his head to Chiba Masaki's side, and whispered to him.
"The breakfast I had with him today was nothing special, it was the one we usually eat. But how could this be?" "Even Chiba Masaki, a friend who lives with Ogawa Ma, doesn't know why Ogawa Makoto is so responsive today.
"Because he's also a member of THE SUN. At this time, Uncle Ishida, who had been standing behind the three of them, suddenly put his head between the two and said.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaki Chiba were startled by Uncle Ishida at first, but quickly calmed down and sat there quietly, thinking about what Uncle Ishida said.
"ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE SUN?"
Do you mean that you are willing to do things you don't want to do for the sake of THE SUN?
It turns out that you are such a small river? . .
