Jennys Firm, also known as Johnnys Firm, is also known as the J Family by fans.

It was founded in 1975 by Mr. Kokushi Kitagawa.

It is a well-known artist agency of RB whose main business is the promotion of male artists and male idol groups.

At the same time, it is also one of the four major brokerage companies in the RB entertainment industry, and a super powerful firm that monopolizes the RB "men" market.

Asia's largest beautiful boy DreamWorks now has SMAP, TOKIO, V6, KinKi Kids, Arashi, Taki-Tsubasa & Tsubasa, NEWS, Seki 8 and these groups, both SMAP and TOKIO which are already national groups, as well as rising trend groups like KinKi Kids and Arashi, as well as future stars like NEWS and Seki 8 who have just debuted.

Jennis, which has been established for just thirty years, can be said to have dominated the male idol circle of RB in the past thirty years, such a super firm, which is called the "J family empire" by fans of some good things, in order to show off Jennis's status in the male idol circle.

The male idol is Janiss.

This is a fact that everyone in the circle knows.

And the SUN band where Kiyoshi Sakamoto is is about to face is such a behemoth.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not fighting alone, behind him is one of the world's four major record companies, Sony Records.

As a subsidiary of Sony Corporation, Sony Records is also well-known in RB, although the current Sony Records belong to the stocking period, but such a company that is not short of money, has strong contacts, and has strong publicity capabilities, as the backer of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it is still more reassuring.

Let's not say that THE SUN band is owned by Sony, and now in addition to the rainbow band, the second band that is being promoted; take Sakamoto Kiyoshi as an example, the current Sakamoto Kiyoshi is already Sony's most popular artist, and now his band is about to release a new record, how can it be suppressed by Genesys's group, in that case, doesn't it make people feel that our Sony is not as good as Genesys?

Therefore, this showdown, Sony attaches great importance to it, and as the president, Naoki Kitagawa also deliberately cheered for the three of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yuichi Yamada, who is in charge of the new single, at the company meeting.

Privately, he also called Yamada to his office and gave a death order, demanding that this single showdown should not be won, but also be honorable even if he loses.

Fortunately, the big guy Kitagawa is still very considerate of the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Yamada, and this requirement is not too high.

Why?

Because, this showdown is not a reciprocal and fair showdown.

A rock band that has just debuted for more than half a year is naturally at a disadvantage compared with a group of male idol groups that have debuted for six years.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi had already analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us in his heart.

First: Style.

Rock was originally quite popular in RB, but it was not the mainstream JPOP style. Although THE SUN is an idol rock band with handsome members, it is still not as popular as Arashi in terms of genre.

Second: the number of people.

There are only three members in the SUN band, while Arashi has five people, and there are already two fewer people in attracting fans. We often say that there is strength in numbers, and this sentence can be clearly seen in idol groups.

Because, there are more people in the group, there are more choices, if you don't like this, you can like that, anyway, in this group, fans can always find a type they like, and they won't just turn from fans to passers-by.

This is also the natural shortcoming of SOLO singers now. Because no matter how charming a person is, it is impossible for everyone to like you. Like is like, dislike is dislike, it's as simple as that.

Third: the number of years of debut.

As I said just now, THE SUN band has only debuted for more than half a year or less than a year, and Arashi, who debuted in 1999, has been six years now.

Six years is enough time for a group of a group of resources to become a relatively well-known combination, not to mention Arashi, who is under Genesys.

Now Arashi is already a well-known group group in RB.

Since his debut, he has released thirteen singles, nine of which have won the first-week sales championship on the public trust chart.

It is conceivable that the strength of Lan, a male idol group, also has the appeal among fans.

With just these three disadvantages, it can already be sentenced to death for the single showdown of the SUN band.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Sony don't think so.

In this battle, some fought.

After enumerating the disadvantages, now let's talk about the advantages of THE SUN.

First: popularity.

Compared with Lan, they have been accumulating a little bit in the past six years to have such a high popularity today. And THE SUN is like a whirlwind, sweeping in, and the best example of becoming famous in one fell swoop.

Because, before the debut of THE SUN, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as the core of the band, set off a "Sakamoto storm" in the RB entertainment industry, and when Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a blockbuster, the birth of the TEH SUN band also extended people's attention from Kiyoshi Sakamoto to the entire band.

In this way, as soon as THE SUN debuted, it also attracted a lot of attention, and it also made this band popular all of a sudden.

All this is a situation caused by a fourteen-year-old boy named Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

So, at present, in terms of popularity, THE SUN, which has such a super popular existence as Kiyoshi Sakamoto, has not lost to Arashi at all.

Second: mystery.

THE SUN, after its debut in July last year, only in the early month, the exposure rate was relatively high, and in the next few months, instead of chasing after the victory, it disappeared.

And the latest news is that he performed at the Red and White Song Party, and won the gold medal at the record awards, and that was three months ago.

The three members of the band have not appeared on too many TV shows or radio programs, and their exposure is too low.

However, the more this is the case, the more curious the public is about this idol rock band that has exploded the entire RB music industry as soon as it debuted.

Curious about what the talented and handsome "KIYO-kun" Kiyoshi Sakamoto is doing, curious about what Ogawa is doing with a cold expression, but who is very poisonous on variety shows, curious about what he usually looks like with glasses, but when he performs, what is Chiba Masaki doing like a berserker...

Such a situation is rare in the entertainment industry of any country.

In the entertainment industry, if there is no exposure, there will be no attention, and there will be no popularity and fame to speak of.

It's okay to play mystery, but it's generally some singers or big things who have been famous for a long time that are qualified to do it.

But the current SUN band has broken this convention.

Half a year after his debut, he only released a single, without any title show, without a high exposure rate, but there are still many people paying attention.

The official fan club of THE SUN has already exceeded 150,000, and you must know that the official fan club has to pay membership fees.

This also shows how popular THE SUN is this new generation of bands.

As the saying goes, although they are not in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are full of their legends.

Third: the company.

Judging from the societies to which the two belong, the difference in strength is not very large.

After all, one is one of the four major record companies, and the other is one of the four major brokerage companies in the entertainment industry.

Sony Records has more resources in music, while Genesys is more prominent in the diversity of work.

However, compared to Arashi's lower ranking in Genesys, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has more support.

Arashi is not the most resource-oriented group in Genesys, which pays attention to seniority, and above them, there are also the national group SMAP, the veteran group V6 and KinKi Kids.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself, as well as the SUN band, is because in recent years, Sony is the most optimistic band, and there are also the most important SOLO singers.

The combination of the two shows that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's SUN band is now one of the most favored singers under Sony.

NATURALLY, THE SUN WILL DEFINITELY HAVE ALL THE SUPPORT OF SONY DURING THE RELEASE OF THE SECOND SINGLE.

However, when Sakamoto Kiyoshi was analyzing, he did not take into account that Janis was so eager to suppress THE SUN this time, or to put it bluntly, to suppress Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

After the release of the single, Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned that he had made Genesys so taboo.

Of course, the current Sakamoto Kiyoshi still doesn't know that what he's facing next, is not just a Arashi...

After the "pre-war meeting", Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the others went home early to rest.

After all, the next time is the time of war, and it will be very busy, and there may not even be much time to sleep.

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, the single hit the shelves.

THE SUN vs. Arashi, start!

On February 23rd, THE SUN's single "PLANET" was released, and Arashi's single "Sakura Sakura" was released.

As if to allow the two groups to have a good face-to-face relationship, in the music industry of this period, there are no veteran singers or groups that release new songs.

Or let's put it this way, in order not to become cannon fodder in this showdown of national concern, there is no first-line singer or group who dares to release new songs, and only some new companies and new singers who want to gain popularity are the ones who want to release new songs.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not expect that the head-to-head showdown between SUN and Arashi would come so soon.

On the day that Kiyoshi Sakamoto released the new single, he received a message, that is: On Friday's music station, THE SUN and Arashi were all guest performers!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto had thought that there would be a time when there would be a frontal bar with the future Tiantuan Lan, but he didn't expect that day to come so quickly.

Just two days later in the evening!

"It seems that this time, this is the only way to go. Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the announcement itinerary in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Don't be cowardly, just do !!"
