After more than a year, THE SUN did not release a single model, but directly released a new album to announce its strong comeback.

Not only that, but THE SUN also announced the title song in advance at the concert directly before the release of the new album.

However, such eye-catching news was still robbed of the headlines by one person...

"The first time in Sakai Spring!"

"Surprise! Sakai Spring Water Comeback?!"

"Eye-catching concert, Coldplay VS Sakai Izumi?!"

。。。

On the second day of the concert, all the famous entertainment newspapers and magazines had pictures of Sakai Izumi standing in front of the microphone shaker and singing on the covers.

Even Coldplay's appearance at the SUN concert, such an amazing news, is no match for Sakai Spring, who has been hospitalized for a long time and made a surprise comeback, is a surprise.

The headlines are all about Sakai spring water.

On the YAHOO real-time search list, the name of Sakai Izumi overwhelmed THE SUN concert, Coldplay, THE SUN's new album, etc., and became the first hot search!

It is conceivable how influential the comeback of Sakai Spring Water is this time...

After all, Sakai Izumi is a mysterious singer who only appears in public seven times in his life.

Especially after being hospitalized last year, Sakai Spring Water has become even more secluded, and it is even more difficult for the public to hear anything about her.

And this time, he suddenly appeared in public, and under the eyes of more than 50,000 people, at THE SUN's concert, he sang his first public trust chart top single, which is also a song that represents his own spirit, "負けないで".

It's no wonder that the whole of Japan is going crazy.

However, in this context, although it was unexpectedly robbed of attention by Sakai Spring, the second band album "Zero in the Morning" released by THE SUN at 0:00 in the morning still swept the world in the first week, and landed at the top of the public trust chart!

Broke one million in the first week!

Although the sales of 1.5 million in the first week have fallen a lot compared to the four-day million of the first album "THE SUN", it is not easy in today's sluggish record market.

The still strong initial sales also allowed THE SUN to continue its amazing record, that is: every album broke one million sales in the first week!

THOUGH, SO FAR, THE SUN HAS ONLY RELEASED TWO ALBUMS...

However, the still strong sales have somewhat regained the attention of the public, and it has also made the singers who sang at the same time miserable.

However, among the many record companies and offices that hate it, there is no Genesys.

Because, the release date of the new album was only announced a few days before the release, and the singing companies and offices that made its singers sing at the same time were caught off guard, and they didn't have time to avoid the edge of THE SUN.

However, as a Genesys firm that was in the honeymoon period, Sony still sold a face, and communicated with them a week in advance.

To put it simply, Sony said to Janiss, "Our big killer THE SUN is ready to release a new album, you guys pay attention, don't get hurt by mistake... ”

That is, to remind Genesys not to release songs during this period, otherwise, it will not be good to face each other again.

And Kitagawa, who knows the energy of the band SUN, also immediately postponed the release of his group KinKi Kids' 10th anniversary selection album "39", waiting for the momentum of THE SUN's new album to pass...

However, even a band like THE SUN, which has a high level of popularity among young people, after its initial sales exceeded one million copies, its sales in the second week fell like other singers, like a curve chart of the stock market.

In the second week, the sales of "Zero in the Morning" were only 300,000 copies...

The sales volume that has fallen greatly makes Sakamoto Kiyoshi also can't help complaining.

"It's like a roller coaster, from the highest point to the lowest point all at once... ”

That being said, the sales of 300,000 copies in a single week still helped THE SUN's album once again win the album weekly chart of the public trust chart.

1.3 million in two weeks, such a number is definitely a lot worse than the band's last album.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought that the mass media or rival record companies would sneer at such a sharp drop in sales, and even shouted slogans such as "THE SUN is no longer magical" and "Kiyoe Sakamoto is exhausted" to hit Sony and THE SUN.

However, to Sakamoto's surprise, many media outlets have said "good things" for THE SUN.

"Well, this is the time of the day! In the sluggish record market, even the popular band THE SUN, which has been selling well since their debut, can't avoid the fact that physical CD sales have begun to decline... ”

However, despite this, THE SUN, a new generation of bands, is still the most appealing singer in the music industry today. ”

"You know, dren's "HOME", since its release in March, has only exceeded one million sales so far... ”

Last year's popular singer, Koda Yoshimi, who is a rival in all aspects with THE SUN, released his album "Black Cherry" in December last year, which only exceeded one million. ”

"In this way, THE SUN's new album was able to exceed one million sales in a week, doesn't it show that the Japanese music scene is still the world of THE SUN?!"

All kinds of music media are blowing THE SUN in fancy styles.

Some media even took out the number of downloads of the album THE SUN to support the theory that "THE SUN is still popular without flop".

In the Recochoku list and the iTunes chart, the number of downloads of this "Zero in the Morning" album exceeded one million in two weeks, and it also won the weekly crown of two consecutive lists.

"Although CD sales are not as good as before, THE SUN still maintains a super high popularity in terms of music source downloads... ”

"This shows that even in the era of music source invasion, THE SUN is still the most popular singer group in the Japanese music scene today, and there is no one!"

。。。

A series of touting, and even the hymn full of murder, as well as the rumors of "THE dren discord", all made Sakamoto Kiyoshi a little confused for a moment, and vaguely smelled some "conspiracy".

Although they have been sweeping since their debut, they have dominated the championship in the major lists of the public trust list every year, but, in the final analysis, THE SUN is just a new generation band group that has just left the rookie period for three years.

If at this time, if you are touted too much by the mass media, and directly say something such as "dren, kick Koda Laiwei", "today's most popular band" and other brainless speeches, then it is not a shout for THE SUN, but a clear killing!

Even if THE SUN's record sales are much higher than those of the older generation, the same cannot be said.

THIS WILL ONLY MAKE THOSE SENIORS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY UNHAPPY.,AND EVEN SOME SINGER SENIORS WHO HAVE LONG WATCHED THE SUN OR SAKAMOTO KIYOSHI DON'T LIKE THEIR EYES.,EVEN SPEAK OUT AND SCOLD THE SUN.,Say they don't respect their predecessors.。。。

In that case, the matter is serious.

Because, in Japan, the hierarchy of seniors and subordinates is extremely strict.

Especially in the entertainment industry, once the rumors of "disrespecting predecessors" fall on the three of SUN, even Sony's current cash cow THE SUN will be boycotted by the entire entertainment industry.

Although this is not a statement made by THE SUN and Sakamoto Kiyoshi, but being reported by these media, even if it is not said by THE SUN, will make some uninformed people think that it is true.

In this case, once the rumors of SUN's "disrespect for predecessors" are confirmed, then Sony and Sakamoto Kiyoshi are really dumb and eat Coptis - there is bitterness and can't be said.

SUCH A RUTHLESS MOVE, ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHO DID IT, BUT, JUDGING FROM THE LARGE-SCALE MOVE THAT CAN LAUNCH SO MANY MEDIA TO ATTACK THE SUN AT ONCE, SAKAMOTO KIYOSHI SPECULATES THAT THIS MUST BE A TRICK USED BY ONE OR EVEN SEVERAL LARGE COMPANIES TO SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT PLEASING TO THE EYE.

This situation is very common in various industries, especially in the entertainment industry...

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't worry too much about this.

Because, his company, is Sony Music, one of the four major records in Japan!

Although it is not as good as the Burning Department, which covers the sky in the entertainment industry, Sony's reputation and prestige in the music industry are also among the best, second only to Ai Hui.

What's more, in the past few years, the emergence of SUN and Sakamoto Kiyoshi has made Sony's name even louder, and even in recent years, Sony once surpassed Ai Hui in record sales.

This is all due to the huge sales of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN.

Sony, who values his baby very much, also discovered the purposeful targeting of the media this time, and immediately organized manpower, contacted the media he befriended, and well-known music critics to join the battle.

Trying to extinguish this trend of killing by suppressing these news and diverting attention from public relations methods.

Moreover, in order to dispel the rumors of discord with THE DREN, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi also specially recorded a small video and put it on Sony's official website.

The content of the small video shows the three SUN people visiting the "HOME" TOUR 2007 -in the field-dren with condolences.

In the small video, the three of SUN and dren have a picture of talking and laughing together, which directly shatters the rumor that THE SUN does not respect its predecessors.

This killing turmoil, when Sony's public relations department coped with it properly, did not set off too much turmoil and was suppressed.

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Sony, after this incident, are both aware that there must be a black hand behind this, manipulating all this...

。。。。。。

Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Universal Music Headquarters.

Syllable!

"What the hell are you doing to eat, why is it so simple, just let them be suppressed?!!"

An angry voice came out of the president's room.

Such a voice made a staff brother who passed by the corridor outside the president's room also quicken the pace of his feet.
