Westlife is a boy band founded in 1998 in Sligo, Ireland. It was originally made up of five people, but in March last year, one of the members, Ryan Nicholas McFardan, announced his departure, and now only four people remain.

On February 1st of this year, they started their The No.1's Tour, a global tour.

Because westlife is an artist under Sony, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also an artist under Sony, and he is his "own person" with a record contract and an agency contract at Sony, so in order to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto test the water in Europe and the United States, he was arranged to be a single guest on the Westlife global tour.

Westlife also said hello over there, and Westlife is still relatively friendly to the junior brothers of the same company, and happily agreed to bring the trumpet of Sakamoto Kiyoshi this time.

However, Sony suggested that Kiyoshi Sakamoto let him compose an English song and perform it at the concert to see how Kiyoshi Sakamoto's English was. After all, in Europe and the United States, English must be better than Japanese, which resonates with the audience.

And for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a proficient speaker of several Chinese, a small English song is difficult for him.

Now all Sakamoto Kiyoshi is thinking about is whether to take a future big hit song or write one on his own.

In the end, in order to make Sony pay more attention to himself and be able to use more resources to support himself, Sakamoto Kiyoshi decided to come up with a popular English song in the future and make a splash at Westlife's concert.

And that song happens to be a country ballad.

And it just so happens that this time Kiyoshi Sakamoto is performing on the stage of Nashville, the birthplace of American country music.

It's a pity that this time it's just Kiyoshi Sakamoto, not the three members of the SUN band, so Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a little sorry for himself for "flying solo", Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba.

When talking about this to the two, Ogawa really said a word, which moved Kiyoshi Sakamoto a little.

"What's this, whether you're alone, or the three of us, we're all members of the band, the more popular you are, doesn't that mean that TEH SUN is more popular? Ogawa is full of sincerity.

This is also a problem that all three of them have already realized, that is, the popularity of the band members is too different.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as a newcomer who has just won the annual record award, a composer with two original singles that have sold more than one million yuan, and the core soul of the TEH SUN band, it can be said that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a person who became popular with the SUN band, and it is also the fundamental reason why the two of them became popular with Ogawa Zhen.

Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki are just two horses who can play musical instruments, although they can create, but they don't have the Maxima that Bole looks at, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto appears and becomes the Bole who takes a fancy to them.

Ogawa and the two are also very aware of this fact, and in their opinion, Sakamoto Kiyoshi can be regarded as their benefactor.

Therefore, although Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki did not say it explicitly, they have always regarded Sakamoto Kiyoshi as their boss, and many things are obeyed by Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

This concert guest incident also made Ogawa Shin and the two say their thoughts in front of Sakamoto Kiyoshi for the first time.

It was also because of the exchange that Sakamoto Kiyoshi realized that the two people who formed this band with him trusted themselves so much, which suddenly filled Sakamoto Kiyoshi's heart with a sense of responsibility and recognition.

Because of a sudden encounter, the three of them formed the current THE SUN band, and in the past six months, the bond between the three has been slowly strengthened, and the relationship between the three has been growing.

After experiencing a wave of "truth or dare" with Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, with the name THE SUN in his heart, Kiyoshi Sakamoto stepped on a plane to the United States.

On January 30th, Kiyoshi Sakamoto arrived in Nashville, the legendary mecca of country music.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had just arrived in Nashville, couldn't wait to rush to the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum downtown.

For Kiyoshi Sakamoto who wants to learn more about country music, this is perhaps the best primer.

In Nashville, Kiyoshi Sakamoto would most like to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum.

This played a very important role in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's understanding of American country music.

After a walk around the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little unsatisfied.

When he walked out of the door, he suddenly "rang bell", and his mobile phone rang, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto took out his mobile phone to take a look.

It's Uncle Ishida.

"Moximoxi, Uncle, what's the matter?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto said to Uncle Ishida while feeling the warm sunshine of Tennessee.

"Where are you?"

"What about my country music hall of fame museum on Fifth Avenue? what's wrong?"

"Westlife has come to the hotel, you come and say hello. Uncle Ishida said.

"It's so soon? Okay, I'll go back right away. Kiyoshi Sakamoto heard that the hero of the concert had arrived, and thought that he should go back to say hello, after all, this time it was a world-renowned men's group that brought himself, a fledgling guy, to see the world.

The first stop of westlife's global tour is called The No.1's Tour, and the first stop is not in the United Kingdom, but in Nashville, the birthplace of country music in the United States.

This is because Sony chose Nashville as its first stop after careful consideration in order to offset the negative impact of the member's withdrawal and to enter the U.S. market.

There is also Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a talented young singer from RB, who wants to make some news, on the one hand, to show the harmony of Sony's family, and on the other hand, to open up the largest record market in the United States, as for Sakamoto Kiyoshi's American test of the waters, it is only incidental.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself is also very self-aware, knowing that he is still just a small shrimp, and this time he is just coming to have fun and travel.

However, Sakamoto is not a person who gives up so easily, and Sakamoto is ready for the concert the day after tomorrow, a song that will surprise the audience.

This time in Nashville, Westlife's performance venue is the home of the American football team Tennessee Titans, Nissan Coliseum.

This stadium can accommodate as many as 70,000 people, and when Sakamoto Kiyoshi will perform in front of tens of thousands of people, it will be a little nervous to think about it.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto came out of the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, got into a taxi, and looked all the way to the bustling Fifth Avenue in Nashville, slowly getting smaller and smaller behind him.

Soon, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to the hotel where the organizers had prepared for Westlife and Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

This five-star hotel called Summer Time is the closest hotel to the Nissan Stadium, so for convenience, Sony arranged Westlife here.

After Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to the hotel, under the leadership of Uncle Ishida, he came to the presidential suite where Westlife and several people were.

Opening the door is the lead singer, Shane Finan,

Shane Finan, who is now just twenty-six years old, has neat short hair, highlighting his very attractive face at a glance.

"Hello, Shane!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto greeted him as soon as he saw him.

"Hello, you are KIYO?" Shane Finan saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto next to Uncle Ishida, and knew that this young Asian should be the guest of their first concert.

"Yes, my name is SAKAMOTO KIYO, and I am honored to meet you and to be a guest at your concert. Kiyoshi Sakamoto replied directly in fluent English.

(Because I am afraid that the English level of all book friends is not up to par, so I directly translated English into Chinese, no need to thank me, my name is Lei Feng.) ）

"Oh, KIYO, I'm glad to meet you, come in. Shane Finan stepped out of the way and motioned for Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Uncle Ishida to come in.

After Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that he would become a guest at Westlife's concert, he had already remembered the appearance and characteristics of several of them, so as soon as he came in, Sakamoto Kiyoshi greeted the remaining three separately.

Westlife chatted with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Westlife was very surprised, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's English can be said to be very standard, and a bit of British accent, which surprised the four people from Ireland.

They also asked Sakamoto if he had lived in the British Peninsula for a long time, and was even more surprised to learn that Sakamoto Kiyoshi had only studied on his own, was proficient in five Chinese, and was now fifteen years old and preparing to enter university.

"Wow, KIYO, you're really good, you're a genius. One of the members, Kien Egan, couldn't help but praise.

"Well, I'm in my country, and everyone calls me a genius. "When facing Europeans and Americans, you can't be too modest, because they will look down on you.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that you are still a genius composer? Is it true?" Nikki Bourne is also very interested in Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a genius boy.

"Okay, the two singles I wrote have sold over a million copies on RB. "Kiyoshi Sakamoto is pretending to be forced, and he is simply unstoppable.

“。。。 Both singles are over a million? Do you want to be like this?" Westlife was speechless after knowing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's single sales.

Because at a time when the world's record market is going downhill, it would be a miracle if the two singles created by Kiyoshi Sakamoto could exceed one million, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto is still a newcomer who has just debuted.

After knowing that Sakamoto Kiyoshi is not an idle person, the attitude of several people in Westlife has changed a lot, at least they regard Sakamoto Kiyoshi as a singer of the same level as them.

And Uncle Ishida, who obviously felt this change, also gave Sakamoto a secret thumbs up, indicating that the forced pretending just now was very deep, giving you a thumbs up.

"Just kidding, little brother, I'm the little prince of Sony, I'm too good at pretending to be coercive or something. Kiyoshi Sakamoto was very satisfied with his high-profile just now.

After sitting on the Westlife side for a while, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Uncle Ishida said goodbye together.

Soon, the day soon approached the start of the tour.

February 1st, the first stop of the 2005 Westlife World Tour, Nashville.
