Chapter 417: The Consequences of Skin
"Double title album?!"
On the sofa, Yuichi Yamada looked at the big boy with a guitar on his back and a playful smile on his lips with surprised eyes.
He didn't know why Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly proposed such a "new trick"...
You know, there are less than five days left until the release of the new album!
At this time, you told me, double main hit?!
"That's right, I only came up with it yesterday. ”
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who didn't know what Yuichi Yamada was thinking at this time, continued to explain his thoughts to Sony's music director, Yuichi Yamada, while unwinding the guitar.
"I want to start by asking you a question. Putting the guitar away, Kiyoshi Sakamoto sat down on the sofa again, "We're THE SUN, what exactly are your goals for this year?"
Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba also sat on the sofa one after another.
The first person to answer is the agent who has not been very involved, Uncle Ishida.
"It's a big hit!"
"Ding! ”
In less than a second, Kiyoshi Sakamoto directly and ruthlessly killed Uncle Ishida's answer at the speed of light.
"Uh... Obviously, Uncle Ishida, who was immediately bitten by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, has not reacted yet.
"It's to break out of Asia and go to the world!"
Chiba Masaki's answer has always been so unreliable.
"Ding! Wrong again. ”
"Why?" Chiba Masaki wanted to ask for the reason, however, Kiyoshi Sakamoto ignored him directly.
At this time, Ogawa Mako, who had just taken a sip of water, said the answer that Kiyoshi Sakamoto wanted.
"Record Awards. ”
"Huh?!" Before the others could understand, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's voice rang out again.
"Bingo!Correct!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi threw a wink at Ogawa Shin, and after making Ogawa Shin half disgusted, he sat up straight and explained to everyone.
"The Record Awards, this is our band's goal this year, to be precise, it is the triple top prize of the Record Awards, and it is the goal that we THE SUN must win this year!!"
Suddenly, he paused, scratched the back of his head, and said with an embarrassed expression, "After all, I already threatened to win the record award last year... ”
Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's constipated face, everyone was speechless.
"So, you're thinking about playing some new tricks on the new album and increasing your chances of winning awards, right?"
Ogawa is always in the band, and he doesn't talk much, but he can always hit the nail on the head.
"That's right. ”
The idea of double title albums is indeed the weight that Kiyoshi Sakamoto added in order to break through many obstacles and win three consecutive championships at the record awards at the end of the year.
In Sakamoto's view, only by doing some new tricks can THE SUN win the band's third record award and achieve the great cause of three consecutive hegemony.
You must know that at the award ceremony of last year's record awards, Kiyoshi Sakamoto threatened to book this year's awards, which caused an uproar.
This year, Sony's competitors, as well as Sakamoto Kiyoshi and THE SUN's competitors, will definitely focus their firepower on them, and must prevent them from winning the third consecutive hegemony.
Therefore, the skin has led to a somewhat embarrassing situation today.
If THE SUN wants to win three consecutive championships, this year, he will have to show a stronger performance to convince the organizers of the record awards to award the big award to THE SUN!
So, inspired by invitations from foreign music festivals, Kiyoshi Sakamoto came up with the idea of a double blockbuster.
Of course, this idea that only exists in the mind must be said and done in order to turn the idea into reality.
That's why, Kiyoshi Sakamoto called Sony's music director, Yuichi Yamada, to come over and listen to the song.
It's definitely not like he just listened to the song, praised a few words, and left.
This uncle,But the big guy who is in charge of the band's album.,So,I still have to get his consent.。。。
"A Japanese title song and an English title song, which will inevitably make this album attract the attention of the masses, plus my recent collaboration with my teacher, it will definitely bring a lot of traffic to this album!"
"And, it's not that I'm boasting, I've never been worried about the sales of this album, not a moment!"
Nothing else, buddy is so confident!
After listening to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's overall explanation, Yuichi Yamada also began to rub the beard on his chin and thought about it.
Having said that, although there are less than five days left until the release of the new album, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's idea is very interesting.
Moreover, the momentum of the double main hit will inevitably be even greater.
This is the core of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's idea: to attract the attention of the public!
For THE SUN, a new national band, Sony has the greatest confidence.
This is not blind trust, but it has been achieved step by step by Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN over the past four years.
Sales have never been something THE SUN has been worried about.
However, this year's Record Awards is also a special year.
Cause?
Naturally, it was Kiyoshi Sakamoto at last year's awards ceremony, and he was so skinny.
After thinking about it, Yuichi Yamada still felt that Sakamoto Kiyoshi's idea was also a good idea.
As long as it can attract the attention of the public, coupled with the sales that have always been as stable as old dogs, Sony's strong public relations capabilities are somewhat sure that it will break through and win the big award in the encirclement and interception of major competitors.
Therefore, Yuichi Yamada still agreed.
So, in the next three days, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Makoto Ogawa, and Masaki Chiba spent an unprecedented, appalling devil three days!
Recording "e Are Young", shooting the MV, shooting the inside page of the album...
Fortunately, the album was prepared, and the Sony family had a big business, otherwise, it would not have been possible to deal with this sudden change in just a few days.
Finally, after packaging the album and distributing it, Yuichi Yamada, who was tired enough, also looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a resentful face and put forward this idea.
"It's all your fault, so I stayed in the company for a long time, didn't go home for a few days, and was scolded by my wife... ”
In this regard, Sakamoto Kiyoshi can only be embarrassed to "hey, hey, hey"
。。。。。。
May 31st, the day before the release of THE SUN's third album.
At the turn of spring and summer, it seems to have been felt more or less, from the heat of summer.
At least when Kiyoshi Sakamoto travels, he is no longer fully armed with masks and caps like in winter, but just wearing caps and short-sleeved shirts...
Therefore, as soon as he got in the car, he was recognized by the driver's uncle.
"Yo! Sakamoto-kun !!"
"Uh, hello... ”
was also slightly frightened by the enthusiasm of the driver's uncle, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting in the back seat, only sobered up slightly from the fatigue of the eyelid fight.
Just
"That, Sakamoto-kun, where are you going?"
"Go to XX High School in Tokyo. ”
"Understood!" Uncle Driver was in the driver's seat, and he also saluted Sakamoto Kiyoshi cutely, which made Sakamoto Kiyoshi scared again.
Didn't you say that the people of Tokyo were very cold...
Why does he think that he is indifferent to this uncle, completely out of line?
With such thoughts, Sakamoto Kiyoshi pressed the brim of his hat with his hand, covering his eyes, wanting to catch up on sleep while he had not yet reached his destination.
However, it is rare to meet him as a national artist, how could the driver uncle let him go so easily.
"Sakamoto-kun, the song between you and Fukuyama-san is very good!"
Generally speaking, in order to show respect for people with high status compared to their own status, people will add a "san" to the end of their name when they are called.
However, this, when it comes to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it doesn't work at all.
may be that he was too young to make his debut, only 14 years old, and people at that time called him "Sakamoto-kun".
After all, a 14-year-old boy is called "Sakamoto-san" by someone in his twenties and thirties, which is also a bit of a thing.
Therefore, "Sakamoto-kun" became his nickname at that time.
Who knows, the speed at which he became popular was too fast, like sitting on a rocket, debuted, became an instant hit, became more and more popular, and in just four years, he became a national male god.
Moreover, the age is still so young!
The public has watched him start from scratch to become a national male god today, just like watching his own children grow up, with special feelings, and in many cases, whether it is the media or insiders, they call him by the nickname "Sakamoto-kun".
Over time, this became Kiyoshi Sakamoto's exclusive nickname.
People know that as long as "Sakamoto-kun" is spoken, it is the little prince of Sony.
For this nickname, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also likes it very much, after all, others call him like this, and in nature, it shortens the distance between each other, which is good.
Therefore, even at work, when someone respectfully calls him "Sakamoto-san", he will smile and ask them to change their words, "Please call me Sakamoto-kun." ”
This may also be why, for three consecutive years, Kiyoshi Sakamoto won the first place in the "list of artists with the highest favorability in the entertainment industry" held by NHK TV and selected by insiders!
You must know that in this entertainment industry where everyone wears masks, it is very difficult to get the favor of your peers.
After all, it's not possible for everyone to like Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
He's not Fukuzawa Yukichi...
However, getting the favor of most people is also very beneficial to the expansion of his network in the circle.
His famous work "Death Note" is the best proof of this.
。。。
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was forced to chat with his uncle for half an hour in the car, took a photo with the driver's uncle with a smile after arriving at his destination.
Because,Uncle Driver said that his girl in elementary school liked him very much.,So...
Heck, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the kind of person who eats soft and not hard.
After standing on the side of the road and waving goodbye to the driver's uncle, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took out a pair of brown toad glasses from his trouser pocket and put them on very coolly.
He doesn't want to be recognised at a glance again ...
"Is this it?!"
After muttering a sentence, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was empty-handed, and just like that, with his trouser pockets in his pockets, he walked into XX University.
