In the president's room, Kitagawa kept his mouth shut and didn't mention anything about Yasusu Akimoto just now, but after chatting with Kiyoshi Sakamoto about family life, he went straight to the point.

"Your English single, the company is going to release it as your second solo single. ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had expected it for a long time, also replied calmly, "This listens to the company's arrangement, but my second single, sending English songs, isn't it good?"

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto admits that this "I'm Yours" is a high-quality work, and it has amazing sales and influence in the United States, at RB, it is not so easy.

The current RB, although the music genre and style are all in full bloom, but the mainstream music is still pop and rock music, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi's song with a heavy folk style is originally relatively niche, and all of them are English lyrics, which can't help but make Sakamoto Kiyoshi feel a little worried about the prospect of this song.

However, Naoki Kitagawa also understands very well that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's concern is not unreasonable, saying, "I know what you think, but after market research and music review within our Sony Music Department, we all agree that releasing your second single now is a topic in itself." Isn't it fascinating that your second single after winning the Record Award was an English single?"

Moreover, fans who haven't seen your news for a few months will also burst out with a strong desire to buy, the key is whether the song is so good and can make people feel refreshed. ”

"I dare say it's the best English song I've ever written!" Mr. Sakamoto said categorically.

"Well, I have confidence in you, I have heard your song "I'm Yours", but I am not very good at judging the quality of the music, but Director Yamada, who has heard your songs, they all say that this song is a rare high-quality song. So, KIYO-kun, don't let us down. Naoki Kitagawa said half-jokingly.

"Yes, I'll try. Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood up and bowed.

"Oh, and since it's an English song, we're also going to release it in the U.S. at the same time to see how the U.S. market reacts to your song. ”

"Huh, I see, I'm not going to let the company down. Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little surprised to hear that his "I'm Yours" was released in RB and the United States at the same time, but in this situation, he could only say that he would not relax his attitude and thank Sony for its support.

However, in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's opinion, if it is only released in RB, the sales of "I'm Yours" are still a bit hanging, but if it is also released in the United States at the same time, it is a different possibility.

In the United States, the folk genre is also a very popular genre.

I have to say that the RB music industry is still very influenced by the American music industry, after all, RB has always been the little brother of the United States.

"By the way, are you ready to go to university?" asked Naoki Kitagawa suddenly.

"Well, yes, I just finished the unified examination last month, and in a few weeks, I will take the second test. "Kiyoshi Sakamoto doesn't know the big guy Kitagawa, why did he suddenly ask this.

"Which university are you going to go to?" said Naoki Kitagawa like an uncle who cared about his nephew going to university.

"I'm going to go to the University of Tokyo. Kiyoshi Sakamoto replied.

"Will there be a conflict between time and your acting?" After all, Tokyo University is not a private university, and it does not have so much free time for students to leave for themselves.

"It's okay, I'll handle the relationship between study and acting, if it really doesn't work, I'll take a leave of absence at that time, it's okay. Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't want to talk so much, saying that it must be okay, so he left himself a way out, and reassured Naoki Kitagawa.

"Well, that's good, after all, now is the best period for your development, and you can't be held back because of other things. "After all, Naoki Kitagawa is still the president of Sony Music, and he still values the development of Sony Music.

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi, as the object that Sony is focusing on cultivating now, of course, should pay more attention to all aspects of him.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also knows that he has a place in Sony now, and he is a very important artist, so he pays more attention to Sony's requirements for him and tries not to do things that are not allowed.

After talking about this university issue, Kiyoshi Sakamoto said goodbye, because next, he had to go to the music department and discuss with music director Yuichi Yamada about the details of the release of this single.

After a short meeting with the music department staff, it was decided that "I'm Yours" would be released on RB and the United States at the same time on February 15th, ten days later!

Because as early as Nashville, USA, Kiyoshi Sakamoto recorded the song "I'm Yours", so after returning to RB, the recording link was omitted.

As for the MV, Sakamoto thought about it early in the morning, that is, to use it at the westlife concert, and the various shots when he performed, as well as the shots of the audience, and cut it into a performance version of the MV, which is more topical and special.

It's because of the somewhat shabby-looking MV and the record that has been recorded a long time ago, so that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's song "I'm Yours" can be released so quickly, and it will be released immediately after a week, which is only reserved for Sony to promote and suppress the record, and there is still time for distribution.

"By the way, I'm back, I haven't been to Xiaochuan yet... ”

As the other two members of the band THE SUN, because of the big sales of "Flower" last year and the creative ability shown in "Nagasaki", Sony also began to pay attention to Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba.

Just last month, Sony rented an apartment in Minato for the two of them to live together.

Because at the beginning, Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki both lived in rented a house by themselves, that is, they lived in a single room near Sunrise High School in Meguro Ward, and the environment was very poor.

And now Sony in order to show the importance of the two, but also for the two of them to come to the company more conveniently, in the port area to help the two of them rent an apartment, just a few days ago, the two just moved into the apartment in the port area.

The two of them were also very excited to ask Sakamoto Kiyoshi to come over and play, so seeing that the single release was done today, and there was no announcement next, Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought about going to their new home and playing.

After buying some beef and fruit, and most importantly, a gift for visiting his new home at a supermarket, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took a taxi and headed for Minato-ku.

As for Uncle Ishida, because she had to go home to pick up her daughter Sachiko Ishida from school, she went first.

Unlike Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba are also members of the band TEH SUN, but in many things, they still have to obey Sony's arrangements and orders.

Ogawa Zhen, because he has more development prospects in variety shows and comedy, so when he doesn't release records, he usually goes to some variety shows to be a guest or a young artist.

And Chiba Masaki, because he was nervous when he was on the show, and his temperament was more anxious, he was afraid that he would be in a hurry in the atmosphere of variety shows, and when he was in a hurry, he would say something to broadcast NG, so he didn't appear on too many variety shows, but when the whole band was on the show, he followed along.

Usually Chiba Masaki, is in Sony, with the company's old lyricist to learn lyrics, and some music theory knowledge, after all, as he has not received professional music knowledge education and entered the industry, learning from his predecessors is a very important step to improve his lyrics level, and he is also enjoying it.

It didn't take long to get from Ginza in Chuo Ward to Minato-ku, and soon, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was in front of the apartments of Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba.

Because the two are a group, fellow villagers, and good friends who have known each other for a long time, they happily accepted Sony's arrangement to let the two live together. Of course, this apartment is still relatively spacious.

Tuk-tuk

Kiyoshi Sakamoto knocked on the door while looking at the door number outside the door and smiled.

The door sign says "Ogawa and Chiba", and those who don't know think that it is shared by two girls, or boyfriend and girlfriend, one is called Ogawa, and the other is called Chiba.

But only Kiyoshi Sakamoto knows, there are no girls in it, there are no couples, only two men, this door number, it must have been written by Chiba Masaki, because Ogawa will not pay attention to these small details at all.

And Chiba Masaki is the kind of person who is very frizzy, so he didn't think too much, and directly wrote the surnames of the two of them, so there would be such a misunderstanding.

In RB, the house number is generally written with the surname of the male owner of this family, as if the door number of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's house is written "Sakamoto", and the Hashimoto Nanami family is a single-parent family, but it is still written "Hashimoto".

And "Ogawa and Chiba" what is this called... Could it be that two families live together?

That's why Kiyoshi Sakamoto laughs.

The door was opened, and Chiba Masaki probed his head to see it, and found that it was Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and instead of beckoning Sakamoto Kiyoshi to enter, he turned his head and shouted loudly into the house, "It's true!"

When Sakamoto Kiyoshi saw this scene, he knew that in this "home", it must be Ogawa who is really talking, because Chiba knows this performance, it was Ogawa who asked him to come and open the door.

Normally, when Sakamoto Kiyoshi is there, Ogawa Shin and the two listen to Sakamoto Kiyoshi. And when Kiyoshi Sakamoto is gone, Chiba Masaki generally listens to Ogawa Shin.

In THE SUN, it can be said that the one who has the least right to speak is not the youngest Sakamoto Kiyoshi, but the acute son of Chiba Masaki.

"Oh, that won't let him in?" came from the room from the room to answer in a calm tone.

"Come in, Kiyoshi. Chiba Masaki also made way of space and let Kiyoshi Sakamoto in.
