When the clock of 2010 was struck, our protagonist had just finished his sixth red and white journey...

Dragging his tired body, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masato Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, who were also tired enough, got into the nanny car.

"Whew... When he leaned on the cushion of the back seat of the car, Kiyoshi Sakamoto groaned comfortably, "I'm tired... ”

Originally, the new album had just been released, and the SUN trio were supposed to stay in the United States for some time to promote.

However, even though no Japanese work was released this year, THE SUN still received an invitation to the Red and White Song Party, known as the "Japanese Spring Festival Gala".

It was for the sake of red and white that THE SUN got out of the heavy propaganda campaign and flew back to Japan.

I have to say that NHK's love for THE SUN is well known.

THE SUN, which has appeared for six consecutive years, has now become a resident guest every year, just like SMAP, TOKIO, Ayumi Hamasaki and other music predecessors.

Of course, as the only seedling in the European and American music scene, THE SUN's status in the Japanese music scene is also quietly changing.

This can be seen from the 60th Red and White Song Club, the order of the appearance of the band SUN.

THE SUN served as the opening guest of the white group, and the first Japanese female SOLO who served as the opening guest of the red and white group twice, Ayumi Hamasaki, was also the opening guest!

This is also the opening position of THE SUN, which is popular among young people, in order to save the red and white opening of the weak ratings, and in order to attract more low-age viewers.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who played the opening role of the white group for the first time, did not live up to the trust of NHK, and detonated the entire NHK concert hall with the song "Dancing People" that turned the audience upside down!

also stubbornly raised the opening ratings of the night to the peak of the past few years.

It's just that NHK's love makes the three of THE SUN secretly unbearable.

After all, I just took a plane from New York for more than ten hours, and when I returned to Tokyo, I had to perform on stage before I had time to say hello to my family, and it was still red and white!

After a long journey, even if it is an energetic young man, the three of them are too tired.

"By the way, when are you going back to Nagasaki?"

At this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who was closing his eyes and enjoying a moment of peace, was suddenly awakened by Ogawa Zhen's words.

"Nagasaki, why do you want to go back to Nagasaki?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little confused.

"Coming-of-age ceremony! Didn't you forget?!"

"Ahh

Kiyoshi Sakamoto patted his head and suddenly realized, "That's right! coming-of-age ceremony !!"

Xiaochuan really reminded him, so that Sakamoto Kiyoshi couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Before I knew it, I was 20 years old... ”

Time is the most precious and irretrievable thing, Sakamoto Kiyoshi who was born in 90, after stepping into the time node of 2010, finally, 20 years old!

Born in Nagasaki, he must have attended the coming-of-age ceremony held in Nagasaki City.

He knew about this earlier.

It's just that,Because of the recent new album,,He was busy and dizzy.,It's just a moment of forgetting.。。。

I have to say that the age of 20 is a very important watershed in the country of Japan.

20 years old means that he is an adult from now on, and it also means that he is no longer a child, but an adult!

Crossing the 20-year-old mark, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was finally able to avoid following various rules.

Wine?

You can drink it openly!

Going out in the early morning, eating supper, and Aragaki Yui to see the night or something, you can do it one by one. . .

Just when Sakamoto Kiyoshi was thinking in his mind about when, when he had a late night date with Aragaki Yui, Chiba Masaki's words interrupted his thoughts.

"By the way, we're ready for your bar mig's gift!"

Gift?

Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at the two of them suspiciously, his eyes full of curiosity, "Oh?!, what is it?"

"You'll know then... ”

However, from the smiles of the two, Sakamoto Kiyoshi sensed that something was wrong.

However, he quickly shook his head and left the distracting thoughts in his heart behind.

A coming-of-age ceremony or something, it's just a ceremony.

At this time, he was occupied by one thing, and his whole mind was occupied.

"It's time to start preparing for that... ”

That's right, at this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi only had one thing in his heart, which made him think about it.

It's not a coming-of-age ceremony, it's not all kinds of things you can do when you're an adult, it's not a new album sale...

It's the film preparation for "Those Years"!

Since March, after winning the film adaptation rights of this book through the script team, Kiyoshi Sakamoto began to write this love story that happened in Taiwan into a movie script.

During this period, in order to localize the background and characters of the story, and even the lines, etc., so that the story filmed is more in line with the aesthetics of the Japanese, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also went to seek advice, and wrote the original author of the poignant story "Love in the Sky", Mika, who wanted to learn from the experience.

In the end, with the help of the famous screenwriter Qin Rijianzi, the original author of "Those Years" Nine Knives, the author of "Love in the Sky" Meijia and others, the movie script of "Those Years", which lasted half a year and was revised many times, was finally completed!

It's just that due to the filming of the movie and the album in the second half of 2009, his immediate preparation for "Those Years" was delayed.

Still, it doesn't matter.

After entering 2010, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has a lot of time to make this movie, which moved him many times back then.

For this reason, he had already asked Uncle Ishida to turn down the work of the whole year in 2010.

Including Fuji TV's Moon Nine main service、Toho's many movie invitations...

His goal in 2010 is to work hard to prepare for "Those Years" and strive to put this love story on the big screen!

He wants to let the audience all over Japan know that sometimes, a simple love story is the most touching.

However, at this moment, between his brows, suddenly, furrowed.

That's what he thought about about the difficulty of this film project.

He knew that as a singer-actor who had never directed any films, if he suddenly said to the company, "I want to make a movie!", Sony would definitely laugh at his whimsy.

Even, this film project, from the very beginning, may not have been approved by Sony.

However, even for a moment, Sakamoto was not discouraged.

Because, in addition to his identity as a singer and actor, he also has an identity...

That is, the executive director of Sony Music!

Sony, that's okay to say.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that as long as he said his conditions, Sony would pinch his nose and provide him with support even if he was unwilling.

What worries him is about the film company...

If "Those Years" wants to be on the national theater chain and meet the audience across the country, Kiyoshi Sakamoto must get permission from one of the five major film companies.

Among them, Toho is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's first choice.

After all, he and Dongbao have also cooperated many times, and there is incense there, and when they are convinced, the success rate is greater.

"It seems that I need to take a trip to Toho... ”

With a clear mind, he suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.

"Those Years... ”

"I'll definitely shoot it!"
