"Didn't you already say that you were going to go on a national tour? Why is it now a dome tour?"

"I don't know, maybe that's why, I guess that's why you called us here today... ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was late, chatted with Makogawa Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, who were sitting in the conference room, as soon as he came in.

Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto has been filming in Osaka for the past two months, he basically learned about the concert through Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki in Tokyo.

Regarding Sony's idea of preparing to hold a "national tour" for THE SUN, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also noncommittal.

Although concerts can be said to be the most stable source of income for singers, for him, money is just a string of numbers.

Therefore, the income earned from the concert is not much of an incentive and temptation for him to hold a concert.

He felt that the concert tour was a good opportunity for him to get a taste of the various parts of Japan.

Moreover, he enjoyed standing on a huge and gorgeous stage and receiving the cheers of thousands of people.

Therefore, he has no problem with this either.

However, he didn't care the most, but it led to the postponement of the concert.

THE SUN is a three-member band, and all of them are indispensable.

Moreover, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also the most important lead singer in the band.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's work from September to November, that is, the filming of "Hot Blood High School 2", was decided as early as last year.

So, although Sony has already begun preparations in August, THE SUN's first national tour.

However, the concert schedule was finally decided in mid-November, three months later.

That's it, after all, it was a time arrangement made to accommodate Sakamoto Kiyoshi's personal itinerary.

However, not long before the start of the singing, he suddenly said that "from a national tour to a dome tour", which made Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the three of them a little confused.

It's not that I think it's a bad thing, on the contrary, it's still a good thing for the three of them...

If a nationwide tour is held as originally planned, THE SUN will inevitably travel all over Japan, so it can be considered a "nationwide tour".

However, in this way, the number of concerts will definitely not be few.

Just imagine, the four major islands: Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Hokkaido, all have to be visited, right?

Major cities such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Sapporo, and Kyoto are definitely going to be visited, right?

And the second-level, Kawasaki, Saitama, and Sendai, are you going too, right?

If you calculate that, if there are two concerts in each city, at least 30 concerts will be held!

This tour will take a long time, and the three of THE SUN will be tired and half dead.

Therefore, if it changes from a national tour to a dome concert, it will be good news for the three of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

However, the three of them couldn't figure out why the company suddenly changed.

However, the words of Sony Music Music Director Yuichi Yamada solved the confusion of the three of them.

"It was a decision to maintain your position in the music scene. ”

"Status?"

Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba are both confused.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, on the other hand, was thoughtful.

"I WANT TO ASK YOU, WHAT KIND OF CLASS DO YOU THINK YOU ARE AT IN THE MUSIC WORLD?" ASKED YAMADA YUICHI WITH GREAT INTEREST, SITTING IN FRONT OF THE THREE OF THEM.

"Uh, the status of the music scene?"

This question made the three of them think about it.

After pondering, the first person to answer was not Chiba Masaki, who was more anxious, but Ogawa Shin.

"Judging from the reports of major newspapers, magazines, and TV stations, THE SUN is currently the most popular band in Japan. ”

Ogawa's calm tone made Yuichi Yamada also look sideways.

"Well, what do you think?" Yamada nodded, then looked at Chiba Masaki.

"We were the first Asian band to win the BillBoard HOT100 singles, even though we were only four years old and couldn't be named Japan's No. 1 band, but we were not much different from top bands such as B'z, dren, and GLAY... Masaki Chiba was full of confidence in THE SUN.

No wonder he thinks so.

After all, they are the founders of another record in the Asian music scene, and their national status is simply not too high...

However, in response to Chiba Masaki's answer, Yuichi Yamada only nodded, and then looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was speechless.

"Qing, what do you think?"

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not follow the routine and answer Yuichi Yamada's question, but said directly.

"I know why, the company changed the national tour to the Dome tour!"

"Tell me about it. Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words surprised Yuichi Yamada.

However, he didn't think that the meaning of this would be something that the smart Sakamoto Kiyoshi would not have thought of.

All that's needed is a hint...

"Because we are THE SUN, the first international band to break out of Asia and go global!"

A short sentence, when it came out of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's mouth, was so domineering!

This sentence, the meaning contained in it, suddenly made Ogawa Zhen and Chiba Masaki think.

"That's right, it's really the chief of Todai, it's clear at one point!" Yuichi Yamada first gave a thumbs up and praised Kiyoshi Sakamoto before explaining, "What you actually said is the reason." ”

"As one of Japan's top bands, you're at the top of the music scene, not to mention that you're the first Asian band to win the Billboard singles title. ”

"That's why you can't do a national tour... ”

"Because, then, it is not in line with your status!"

"Huh?!" except for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had long understood, Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba all exclaimed in unison.

"The national tour, in addition to going to all over the country's large and small venues, is its disadvantages, such as time-consuming, expensive, and troublesome procedures, and the most important thing is that if a top band like THE SUN goes to HALL, ARENA, or even LIVE HOUSE to perform, it will only lower the style of THE SUN... ”

To put it bluntly, it's a price drop.

Therefore, after careful consideration by the company, it was decided to change this national tour to the Dome tour. ”

This clear explanation made Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki, who realized it later, suddenly realize.

"I see... ”

"However, I called you here today not only to tell you about this, but also to have good news for you!"

"What?"

"The country wants to invite you to a concert!!
