Chapter 39: Takeoff

It's still a familiar taste, a familiar recipe, cough cough, I said the wrong advertising word.

It should be, it's still a familiar link, a familiar location, but the difference is that the last time it was Kiyoshi Sakamoto who appeared in the Young Guns session, it was only Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and this time, it became a trio and appeared in the YG session as a band.

As a newcomer who has just debuted, there is no way, or can only appear in the middle YG link, and if you want to blame yourself, your coffee position is not enough.

This also motivates Kiyoshi Sakamoto to continue to work hard and be able to sit in MS from the beginning to the end of the show as soon as possible, although most of the time is spent doing background boards.

The show begins.

First of all, the 12 Girls Orchestra from the Celestial Empire, V6 and other artist groups, these artists, as the first half of the performance, after the end, it was the turn of the YG session.

Speaking of Young Guns, this link from Sony's last strong promotion of the birth of Kiyoshi Sakamoto has been very popular, because since the broadcast, it has been very popular as a transitional link to introduce newcomer singers and newcomer bands who have been active recently, so I will do it once or twice from time to time.

And the quota for this issue was given to the SUN band.

The reason for this is that more than 12,000 people have been mobilized in two live performances last week, and the number of views on the music video and debut record has reached a new high. This week, the hottest singer is the band SUN.

So going to MS became a natural thing.

After the discussion of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it was decided that the style of the band was mainly lyrical rock, with British rock and a little hip-hop rock added. Because the three of them like the Beatles very much, they want to be such a band that can influence the entire RB in the future, so the three of them wear shirts with ties or suits, which is cool and handsome.

This time, the three of them are all neatly dressed in a full set of black suits, the only difference is the hairstyle, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a ball head, Ogawa is really thick bangs, and Chiba Masaki is short hair with black-framed glasses. Same outfit, but with a different personal style.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto belongs to the kind of changeable type that laughs warmly when he sings and is cool when he doesn't laugh.、Ogawa Zhen is a calm and calm man.,Expressionless;Chiba is the most passionate of the three.,Hi up.,When you beat the drums.,Add some of your own hand movements.,The expression is also the wildest.。。。

I have to say that the three of them are all handsome guys, and the three handsome guys of such a different type are performing on the stage, and the fan audience certainly likes it very much.

When the SUN band performed its debut song "Flower", the audience sitting on the side kept screaming, some called the name of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, some also called the name of Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, and some directly called the name of the band, and even the stars of the southern sky sitting on the side, Ayumi Hamasaki and a few people were gently shaking their bodies.

The entire MS scene was excited because of the performance of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the trio.

Because they had already been interviewed by Tamori before the performance, after this performance, the three of them obediently walked to the singer's seat, sat upright, and made a background board.

Next is the time for big-name singers, the finale is the stars of Nantian, and finally Sister Ayumi Hamasaki.

As the finale, Ayumi Hamasaki sang two songs in a row, "GAME" plus "INSPIRE", plus the time of the interview, and one person accounted for eight and a half minutes. It is conceivable that now that Ayumi Hamasaki has such a high status in the RB music scene, there may not be many people who can occupy such a long performance time in a music program like MS.

After all, a newcomer who has just debuted is already good to have three minutes on MS. And the last time Kiyoshi Sakamoto's first MS debut, it was six minutes, which really could be a miracle.

The three people sitting on the background board in the singer's seat also didn't dare to communicate, because they were afraid of being caught by the camera with some impolite expressions, and the three of them always faced everything with a smile. As a result, when the live broadcast of the show ended, the faces of all three of them were a little stiff with smiles.

However, during this MS trip, there were a few things that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little concerned about.

One is the band's debut, the second is Ayumi Hamasaki's invitation song, and the third is the coldness of V6.

When making the background board, because he couldn't speak, Sakamoto Kiyoshi just had time to think about why V6 was so cold. After going through his brain, he thought a lot, and the biggest possibility was that it was from Denis's attitude.

As one of the top four in the entertainment industry, the big guy in the top four, Jennis is an office that only does men's groups, and a large number of handsome guys such as SMAP, V6, Arashi, Yamashita Tomohisa, etc., can be said to be the kind that will sneze and earthquake.

It's because Janis has been biting the piece of meat of the men's idol in his mouth and has never let go.

may be precisely because men's idols are the lifeblood of Janiss, and they are too important, so when Kiyoshi Sakamoto, an idol that is not like an idol, became popular, Janis may be a little jealous of the little prince under Sony, which will impact the development of his male idol group, so he issued an order within the office that he could not associate with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Of course, this is just a possibility that Kiyoshi Sakamoto has drawn based on a few clues, and it is not necessarily what he thinks. Maybe the current Sakamoto Kiyoshi hasn't been able to be seen by Janis...

After returning to the backstage and making an appointment with Ayumi Hamasaki for the next meal, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the three of them took the nanny car and went back to their respective homes.

Music Station, which aired on the evening of July 23, once again brought the name Kiyoshi Sakamoto to the ears of the RB people.

As an artist who has been appearing in front of and in the ears of the RB people from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year in 2004, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has a very strong mass base.

On the same day that the MS program aired, the debut single of THE SUN, called "SUN", was released in almost all CD stores in Tokyo.

I saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto debut again on TV, and it was such a handsome band with all the members, and fans who had been very fond of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Aiya and Udi, also fell in love with the band THE SUN, and flocked to CD stores to buy this single containing three songs.

Next, it was another week of program time, magazines, interviews, variety shows, etc., and the three of them appeared.

At this time, the three of them were in the conference room of the music department of Sony Records, waiting for the statistics of the first week's single sales.

"The first week of sales was... 200,000 !!" Uncle Ishida, who came in with the statistical table, first sold the pass, and finally said this surprising number.

With the blessing of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity, as well as the unique charm points of Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, this band's debut single exploded in amazing sales in the first week.

TEH SUN has also become the first band to debut a single in recent years, that is, to win the top spot on the weekly chart of the public trust chart. And again, some movies fell in love with the title song "Flower" and wanted to use this song as the theme song of the movie.

And this time the movie is "Now, I Want to See You Very Much" (Saying I Love You Through the Raindrops).

Speaking of this movie, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto was in his previous life, he watched it five times. Because Sister Yuko Takeuchi in it is so beautiful.

It was this movie that Kiyoshi Sakamoto became a big fan of Yuko Takeuchi's sister.

It's a pity that because Sister Yuko Takeuchi is still in the crew and is making up some shots, she didn't come to Sony this time, but director Yutai Doi came over and briefly discussed the use of "Flowers".

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who did not give up, also asked director Yutai Doi to help him and brought a CD with his own autograph to Sister Takeuchi.

Yuyasu Doi, who got the right to use the song, was also confused and took the CD and rushed back to the crew. After all, the time is a bit urgent, because this movie has already been decided to be released at the end of October, and there are less than three months left.

At the beginning of August, many people noticed that the band SUN, which was making various announcements in a row, was missing a person.

Well, bassist Mama Ogawa is there, and drummer Masaki Chiba is also there.

Hmm?Where did the lead singer Kiyoshi Sakamoto go??

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fan name is "YOHO" because Kiyoshi Sakamoto is called KIYO-kun by fans, and then the name "YOHO" evolved in KIYO.

This is also what "YOHO", a major Sakamoto Kiyoshi fan, wants to know.

When asked about Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba on the show, the two also said together very tacitly, "I am not feeling well." Coupled with an ignorant expression, people can't ask any more.

But the hearts of the two of them are like this, "You spicy chicken senior, you actually asked for leave, and asked us to make a false confession, and when you come back, we will report you !!"

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was being discussed by the two, was sitting on a plane to the United States.

I didn't go on the show to promote my single, and I secretly asked for leave and went to the United States by myself, what is the situation??

This is a big plan for Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

On this trip to the United States, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not go alone, and he was accompanied by members of his financial management team.

His financial management group, founded in 2002, is made up of three fresh graduates from the University of Tokyo.

In the past two years, Sakamoto Kiyoshi has handed over all investment plans and projects that are likely to increase in value in the future to them, and let them operate them, and it is these three people who have helped Sakamoto Kiyoshi earn a lot of dollars in various funds or stock markets, as well as some usual investments in the past two years.

The trio are trader Hashimoto, financial planner Ichijo, and financial analyst Kagawa.

All three of them signed a confidentiality agreement with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and all three are from Nagasaki, and their fathers are also Sakamoto Akira's apprentices when he was at school.

This also explains why Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew them, because it was Kiyoshi Sakamoto's father who introduced him to him.

In the past few years, under the premise of Sakamoto Kiyoshi providing information, the three of them have helped Sakamoto Kiyoshi earn about 5 million US dollars through investment, stock market, industry and other means.

And this time he went to the United States, Kiyoshi Sakamoto brought three people with him, just to invest in a computer genius.
