Let the public's discussion of the sales showdown between Universal and Kiyoshi Sakamoto intensify.

The hero at this time,Sakamoto Kiyoshi,But there's no time.,Ignore these.。。。

At this time, he was on TV Asahi, recording the first episode of the first title group of THE SUN with Maya Ogawa and Masaki Chiba.

As the band SUN, which has been debuting for nearly four years and has won two consecutive record awards and record sales champion for three consecutive years, in order to continue to expand its national popularity, under the negotiation between Sony Music and TV Asahi, finally, in April 2008, the two jointly produced a show, THE SUN's title variety show.

"Suddenly the Sun"

This is a project that Sony Music began to negotiate with TV Asahi as early as last year.

This is the idea that Naoki Kitagawa stole from the Genesys office.

It's like SMAP's title show "SMAPxSMAP", as well as Arashi's "Lan Su Question くん", and V6's "Campus Crazy God List".

These title groups have allowed the public to see the unknown side of these idols through variety shows, and they have brought a lot of favorability, popularity, and national popularity to these groups.

That's why Sony is partnering with TV Asahi to produce a title show for THE SUN.

Moreover, among the three SUN, in addition to Chiba Masaki, the drummer behind the scenes, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Shin Ogawa are both very talented in variety shows.

Especially Ogawa Zhen, it is simply a variety show among the three.

If THE SUN is compared to a funny combination, then Ogawa is really responsible for complaining, Masaki Chiba is pretending to be stupid, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto is in charge of the overall situation.

Therefore, in order to make the band THE SUN more popular, Sony teamed up with TV Asahi to prepare for a prime-time title show.

Why TV Asahi?

This is a choice made by Sony considering the relationship between major TV stations.

Among the six major TV stations in Japan, Fuji TV and TBS can be said to be mortal enemies, and there are few artists who show at the same time.

In order not to affect the relationship between Sony's artists in these two companies, so, exclude.

Aside from these two stations, NHK is unlikely, and TV Tokyo is too small, and it is difficult to guarantee ratings and attention.

In that case, the only remaining TV stations are NTV Japan TV and Asahi TV.

NTV, naturally, also has a lineup of their variety shows, especially in AKB Rice, which is quite famous and officially began broadcasting "AKBbigo" not long ago, which was also broadcast on this station.

And Asahi TV has many famous variety shows, such as "MUSIC STATION", "Male and Female Pickets", "ametalk" and so on, all of which are famous programs on this station.

I have to say that the fate of THE SUN and MS also has a very long history.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN debuted on TV Asahi's "MUSIC STATION" program.

Almost every time a new song is released, THE SUN will go on MS to promote the song.

The host Tamoli is also very attentive to the three of THE SUN.

Therefore, Sony Music chose to cooperate with TV Asahi after the final screening.

For Sony to cooperate with him and engage in a SUN title variety show, the executives of TV Asahi feel that happiness has come too suddenly.

After all, THE SUN has won two consecutive record awards, and every single and album is a national band that has sold more than one million.

If THE SUN can be locked in a certain day and a certain time period on TV Asahi, it will definitely be of great help to TV Asahi's ratings.

Therefore, TV Asahi immediately agreed to Sony's invitation to cooperate.

Not only that, in order to let this show get more people to watch, TV Asahi did not hesitate to cut a prime-time program with poor ratings to let THE SUN's title program take over!

Such sincerity made Sony and THE SUN very moved.

After a long period of negotiation and discussion, in the end, the program was released.

The broadcast time is set for 10 p.m. on Wednesday in the evening.

The premiere date is on April 23.

This is also the reason why Kiyoshi Sakamoto left the sales showdown with Universal and went to TV Asahi to record a program.

In terms of time, it's too ... It's so urgent!

Japanese variety shows are basically the same as TV dramas.

One episode a week, once a quarter, about ten to eleven issues at a time, and when it comes to the fifth and sixth episodes of a quarter, it is decided whether to continue to play according to the broadcast response.

And "The Sudden THE SUN", although it was decided after a long period of discussion.

However, due to the strong cooperation of Asahi TV and the promotion of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's new album, the program that was originally scheduled to premiere in June was much earlier.

The current situation is that in just one week, the first episode of the new name program will be broadcast!

Therefore, in order to catch up with the premiere, Kiyoshi Sakamoto could only immediately meet up with his teammates and record the first episode of the show.

In this emergency situation, so that Sakamoto Kiyoshi has no time, and then continue to pay attention to his sales figures...

Moreover, in his opinion, the confrontation between himself and the three groups of singers from the world is just the media and the world laughing at themselves.

He didn't take the mihimaru GT, perfume, and GReeeeN seriously at all.

Even against the world, he also reciprocated with a dismissive attitude.

In his words, "I have enough pre-sale sales for all the sales you have combined, do I need to worry?"

It's dragging.

However, he has the confidence to say such things.

。。。。。。

Tokyo, Roppongi Hills.

Inside TV Asahi.

Inside a small lounge.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Shin Ogawa, and Masaki Chiba, the three of them are dressed casually, and they sit on chairs very casually, chattering.

As we chatted, the conversation shifted to a new show that was about to start recording.

"By the way, what kind of show is this?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked a question to which all three wanted to know.

"I don't know. ”

Ogawa and Chiba Masaki's answers were very consistent.

Although the three of them know that the company is working on such a program with TV Asahi.

However, they have no idea what the concept, nature, and content of the show is...

They don't even know where they're going next or what they're going to do.

"Really... I asked my uncle, and he knew something, but he just wouldn't say. Kiyoshi Sakamoto said a little indignantly.

"However, judging from the name of this show, it should be a show that doesn't have too many scripts, only plays... Shin Ogawa, who was sitting on the side and reading a magazine with a magazine, speculated.

Variety shows, like TV dramas, have scripts.

The script, something similar to the script of a TV series, can be said to be the "script" of a variety show.

A large part of the script reflects the flow of the program,

When, what kind of reaction, and at what point to interject is what looks funnier.

Before the program starts recording, the program PD will discuss it with the guests and the host.

And those jokes and stalks seen on TV are probably designed in advance.

And there are not too many scripts, which means free play.

Whether the show is funny or not, it depends on the MC's funny skills.

Therefore, a master MC with profound hosting skills is very important in a show.

And among the three SUN, Ogawa Zhen has barely become a competent deputy MC after several years of tempering.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto has no experience as an MC, but with the accumulation of status and wealth, he is becoming more and more open in variety shows, and he can afford to joke, have a wide range of knowledge, and complain skills, which is also very good.

Chiba Masaki is a very competent little expert, and when it is time to pretend to be stupid, he will definitely not be smart.

Because,He's such a simple guy who's even a little stupid...

Such a configuration is very sufficient in idol-oriented variety shows.

The three SUN don't need to be like AKB in "AKBINGO", but in order to control the situation and preside over the overall situation, they invited the funny group Bad Boys as the MC.

Three people are enough.

。。。。。。

Smack!

Just as the three of them were chatting about the title show, suddenly, the door to the lounge was opened.

The eyes of the three of them immediately moved to the door.

I saw a few cameras and a large number of program personnel, just like that, broke into the door... Push the door in.

“？？？”

"What's the situation?" the three of them greeted the camera with bewildered expressions.

The funniest thing is that Chiba Masaki put his hand in front of his chest and looked at the sudden crowd with a blank expression.

That look,It's like a scared cute girl.,Protecting herself.。。。

Gay's gay appearance contributed to the first laugh of the "Sudden THE SUN" show.

Before the three of them could react, a middle-aged man who looked like the PD of the show, holding a small book, said to the three of them.

"This is the first episode of the program "The Sun Suddenly", so please go to Saitama City in Saitama Prefecture by different means of transportation. ”

"What do you mean?"

When encountering such a sudden situation, the first person to ask such a question must be Masaki Chiba.

"Please go. The PD of the show just said this firmly.

Judging from the ironclad defense of the PD of this show, as well as the surrounding film crews that are ready to leave at any time, the first mission of the three of them is to go to Saitama Prefecture.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also realized this, glanced at Ogawa Shin next to him, and said thoughtfully.

"Could it be that this show is a reality show without a script?"

"I'm afraid ... Yes. Ogawa nodded in approval.

"実に面白い。。。 Kiyoshi Sakamoto touched the bridge of his nose and smiled and imitated a wave of "Yukawa Learning"...
