Chapter 422: Sweeping the Music Scene

A certain little expert in death,After laughing at it without knowing whether it is alive or dead,Giant Lori's flat chest,,After being taught a hard lesson.。

"Humph!"

After Yui Aragaki left, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was lying on the tatami mat in the box, was disheveled, looked at the ceiling with a blank face, and muttered to himself.

"I'm just a fool... ”

。。。。。。

June 1st, 0:00 a.m.

THE SUN's latest double title album "Young People" is once again a hit after the hype in the early stage!

Because of the gimmick of the double main hit, as well as the pre-promotion of the limited group "Yukawa and Yagami" composed of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaharu Fukuyama, the band's new album has received widespread attention and attention from the public before it is released.

People are gearing up to see what kind of surprise THE SUN has brought to the public.

The day before the release, the major record stores in Tokyo were full of THE SUN fans who were ready to line up all night to buy the album.

Moreover, most of them are female fans.

Whenever THE SUN or Kiyoshi Sakamoto release a record, female fans queue up all night to buy albums has long become a familiar scene in the entertainment industry in recent years.

I have to say that Kiyoshi Sakamoto single-handedly shared the young female fans of Japan with many boy groups of Janiss.

As the saying goes, there are ten buckets of female fans in the world, Sakamoto Kiyoshi monopolizes eight buckets, and the men's groups of Genesys share one bucket equally, and the remaining one bucket is Kimura and Fukuyama, the two veteran male gods. . .

This is a comic sentence posted by a buddy who was poisoned by ancient culture on the 2CH forum.

However, this can also somewhat summarize Sakamoto Kiyoshi's popularity today, which is simply incomparably high!

And the first-day sales list announced on the public trust list also once again proved to the public that the return of the king!

One million on the first day!

This undoubtedly broke all kinds of records, and the most silent of them was the first time that a music work could achieve millions of sales on the first day of its release since the Oricon charts began to count sales on a daily basis!

And, it's still an album!

You must know that in the previous life, it was AKB48, which has already become a Japanese girl group, that broke this record in 2011, and released the 22nd single "Flying Start"!

THE SUN directly broke this record three years ahead of schedule!!

In June, almost everyone in the entire Japanese music scene felt that an indestructible ship came to the music scene that had already been calm like a stagnant water, riding the wind and waves!

。。。。。。

Perhaps it is because of this period of time that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's hair density has reached the highest peak since his debut.

From March 25th, after more than two years, he released his second solo album, to May, a collaboration single with Masaharu Fukuyama, and finally to June 1st, the third album of the band was released, in just three months, the number of records that Kiyoshi Sakamoto has participated in has reached one single and two albums!

Such a high-yield Sakamoto Kiyoshi simply made the public's impression of him as a "low-yield" suddenly refreshed.

Even the fans and fans, who have always been tolerant of his "laziness", exclaimed, "No, I've never seen such a diligent Sakamoto-kun!!"

There are also a large number of fans who speculated because of his sudden and unusually diligent behavior, "Is it that Sakamoto-kun is ready to focus on film and television dramas in the future, so he will release records so diligently all of a sudden?!"

This speculation has also been recognized by a very large number of media and fans.

Even entertainment magazines and news are attracting the public's attention with headlines such as "Kiyoshi Sakamoto may suspend his music career and focus on developing his career as an actor" and "THE SUN may be about to enter a period of recuperation, and Sakamoto's path as an actor will continue to make great strides".

It also caused panic among fans for a while, and I really thought he was going to stop his music career temporarily...

This makes Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who sometimes goes back to his official fan club and lurks, also speechless.

I could only muttered silently.

"You people, it's really hard to wait... ”

If you don't post a film, you say you're lazy, what do you say...

There is no way, there are many people who are popular, and in the end, Sony also held a special press conference, so that Sakamoto Kiyoshi assured the public in person that he would never stop his music career, and the fans stopped.

However, it was also through this vignette that the album's sales sold even better.

Not only that, in order to increase exposure and promote album sales, Sony used its strong connections and resources to allow the three of THE SUN to participate in almost all the top programs they could in a short period of time.

Including the three major tones, UTABAN, MS, HEY3, and THE SUN are all on the line.

"It's okay to laugh", "SMAPxSMAP" and other ratings remain high, and the popular variety show group, THE SUN is all over the place.

It's no exaggeration to say that after a week, turn on the TV, no matter which TV station you turn on, you can see the three handsome guys of THE SUN, and hear the two title songs of THE SUN.

"Dancing People" in Japanese and "e Are Young" in English!

Compared with the music style of "e Are Young", which is more in line with the aesthetics of the Japanese, "Dancing People", a soft rock song that makes people want to jump when they listen to it, is more in line with the Japanese aesthetics.

The "dong dong" throughout the whole song, it's simply magical...

Especially after the three SUN performed this jumping divine comedy on MS, HEY3 and other sounds, Sakamoto Kiyoshi played the guitar while bouncing, which was also imitated by the public.

For a while, the whole of Japan was brainwashed by THE SUN's song "Dancing People"!

On the big screens in the busy streets of Shinjuku, the shopping street of Takeshita Street in Shibuya is full of music videos and songs for "Dancing People".

The plot of the MV is also very simple, that is, the three of THE SUN are performing songs in a small live house, and the audience jumps along with the songs, and finally the three people on the stage also join the ranks of the jumpers.

However, it is precisely because of the simple and repetitive melody and catchy lyrics that everyone who hears this song will not unconsciously sway their bodies.

Sometimes, the meaning of music is very simple, as long as it sounds good, can resonate with the listener, and makes people can't help but be happy, it is enough...

Under the huge publicity, there is such a magical title song, coupled with the crazy face brushing of the three of SUN, it is no surprise that this album of THE SUN topped the weekly chart with a terrible sales of 2.03 million copies on the weekly list announced in the first week!

While continuing the magical record of THE SUN achieving the first week sales of each album released, it also broke the record of the highest first-week sales of non-selected albums created by Japanese music diva Hikaru Utada's debut album "First Love" with only more than 10,000 copies!

Sometimes, people have a certain level of good luck, and even God will help.

The reason why THE SUN's album was able to break many records in just one week and become the highest-selling first-week album of a non-selected album group in the history of the Japanese music scene is that in addition to Sony's overwhelming publicity, the toxicity of the songs, etc., there is also a very important reason that among the singers who released the film in early June, there is no big-name singer who can pose a threat to THE SUN!

If the release is delayed until July, THE SUN will face a wave of big-name singers such as B'z, Namie Amuro, and EXILE, and it will never be possible to achieve such terrifying sales.

I have to say that Sony Music can be said to have been selected, a very good time to release the film.

。。。

THE SUN is like an unstoppable hurricane that sweeps across the entire Japanese music scene.

The two million album sales in the first week made Sony Music excited.

And Sony's powerhouse, Sony Naoki, president of Sony Music, who was sitting in the office and looking at the sales report, couldn't help but have a strong premonition.

He can feel that after this battle, THE SUN will inevitably become another national band in the music world, and the soul of the band, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, will officially become a superstar in the music world!

This made Naoki Kitagawa who had always been very optimistic about him, and while feeling gratified, a sense of pride was also born.

"Whoever gets Sakamoto Kiyoshi wins the world!"

。。。。。。

Unlike Sony Music, which is rejoicing in achieving such results for THE SUN, Sony Music's rival, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's enemy, Universal Music, is in a bleak mood.

Especially Kenji Kitano, who felt that the seat under his buttocks was getting hotter and hotter, and he was about to sit still, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense as the album sales of THE SUN came out.

Sitting in the president's office, looking up from the sales report on the desktop, Kenji Kitano began to scan the office around.

"Before I knew it, it had been nearly a year since I moved into this office... ”

Looking around the office, the various decorations arranged by him, and even the few plants, his gaze stayed for a long time, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

Kenji Kitano knows that the better Sakamoto Kiyoshi develops, the more it sets off, and his strategy against Sakamoto Kiyoshi is so ridiculous.

Even under the global target led by him, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still achieved such brilliant results.

Moreover, because of his wrong decision, he also forced away the world's first brother, Masaharu Fukuyama...

Kenji Kitano has realized to some extent that his time to stay in the position of president of Universal Music is running out.

According to the reliable information he received, his predecessor, that is, the former president of Universal Music, Ichiro Yamazaki, is contacting the directors he knows well, preparing to vote at the next board meeting, kick him out, and regain the position of president by the way.

This made him nervous, and he always wavered from his past ambitions.

There is not much time left for him...
