Chapter 724: Set sail

Scandals also have a time effect.

The more unnoticed, the faster it disappears.

However, this law, when applied to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, does not apply.

Who made him so famous?

Originally, the scandal had made him and Mai Shiraishi, who had not yet debuted, the focus of national attention.

In addition, "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire" won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto became the youngest award-winning director in the history of the three major film festivals in Japan and even the world.

The combination of the two major news made Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who returned to Japan, and "Kirishima" and others once again become the focus of media attention.

Perhaps in order to take advantage of the situation, in order to shift the public's attention from the scandal to other places, Sony announced that "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire" from Venice will be released nationwide at the end of September!

And what followed was Nogizaka's title group.

"Where is Nogizaka" will premiere on TV Asahi in early October!

Scandals, if used well, are actually a very effective means of hype.

The binding with Kiyoshi Sakamoto made Mai Shiraishi's name the most frequently mentioned name in the past half month.

Who is she?

With this doubt, under the flesh of many netizens and fans, Mai Shiraishi's various materials have been turned out.

Of course, it also made "Nogizaka 46", an idol group established less than two months old, enter the public's attention.

However, after its establishment, Sony quickly sorted out the past and black history of the group members.

Therefore, Nogizaka 46 did not have any scandals such as "members were exposed to kissing photos" and "members were exposed to love history".

Originally, Nogizaka's operating committee thought that Mai Shiraishi, who was scolded badly by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans, would cause Nogizaka's reputation to suffer a heavy setback.

However, judging from the online comments, such a bad situation did not happen.

This also made Chiba Masaki, Kitagawa Kenji and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Strike while the iron is hot, in the public's attention to Nogizaka, it is still in a very high period, Sony also announced that Nogizaka 46 took over, the first CM endorsement since the establishment of the group.

In other words, he is the face of LINE, an instant messaging app that has not been launched for a long time but is popular among young people!

LINE is an instant messaging app launched by NHN Japan, a Japanese subsidiary of South Korean Internet conglomerate NHN.

Although it is a communication app that started late, it was officially launched to the market in June 2011.

However, in just one and a half years, it became the first mobile IM in Japan to have more than 100 million users.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is a reborn, naturally knows how popular the LINE software is in Japan.

Therefore, when LINE was first launched in the market, Kiyoshi Sakamoto reached a cooperation agreement with NHN Japan through unstoppable monetary means.

Although it is very good in South Korea, it is also the largest network company in Asia.

However, in the face of someone who is a shareholder of Facebook and the richest man in Japan, the strong dragon does not suppress the snake, and NHN finally agreed to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's request for cooperation and jointly operated LINE related affairs with Sakamoto Kiyoshi's Internet company "LINE IN JAPAN".

And Nogizaka 46 became the image spokesperson of LINE, of course, it was planned by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

LINE is an app that will surely become one of the most used apps by Japanese people in the future.

And Nogizaka has become its spokesperson, which will also bring huge attention and a lot of traffic to this newly established idol group in a short period of time.

Imagine that when the members of Nogizaka appear in various conversations on LINE with all kinds of cute emoji stickers, even those who are not interested in idols will be unconsciously attracted to these girls, and thus develop a curiosity about the group Nogizaka.

That's what Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants!

However, this news, for the public, is just another means for Sony to support its new girl group.

However, for the members of Nogizaka, who had just been established, this was their first foreign affairs!

Also the first job with an income!

The girls, all of them were excited.

。。。。。。

Tokyo, Shinagawa-ku.

After the holiday, almost all of the Nogizaka members moved into the dormitory prepared for them by the company.

In addition to Akimoto Masatsu, who temporarily left the group to concentrate on his studies, the remaining 28 Nogizaka first-term students will spend five months in this dormitory with a curated and professional chef.

Girls from all over the country,It's also with apprehension and longing.,Here,Take your first step as an idol.。。。

"Mai Mai (Mai Fukagawa's nickname), look at our emote stickers!"

In the practice room, Erika Ikuta, who was sitting on a chair, was holding her mobile phone with great interest, showing off to Mai Fukagawa beside her.

I saw that on the screen of her mobile phone, it was the dialogue interface of LINE.

And with the movement of Flowey's fingers, the expression column shows various cute expressions taken by the members of Nogizaka for LINE.

"Uh-huh, Raw-chan (Ikuta-e's nickname), your expression, super kawaii!" Mai Fukagawa complimented with a kind smile.

Although they have only lived together for less than a week, Mai Fukagawa, as the oldest sister in the group, has conquered the hearts of Ikuta Erika , Hoshino Minami, Saito Asuka and other little Lori early with her gentle character.

However, another big sister is so that the girls dare not approach.

It's Mai Shiraishi.

Originally, Mai Shiraishi, whose personality belongs to the cold outside and hot inside, is not familiar with it, but before she is familiar with it, she has an aura that no one can approach, which makes many girls a little scared.

Coupled with the scandal rumored by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and the first step in the movie "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire", he debuted as an actor, so that Mai Shiraishi's status in the group has reached a very high level.

For various reasons, Mai Shiraishi is a little alone, and only Nana Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino, two good friends, dare to approach her side...

In the face of this situation in the group, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and other operations did not interfere, but let them solve it independently.

He believes that time and the huge pressure from the outside world will slowly knead these girls from different places into a whole.

And the same is true of the purpose of the camp.

。。。。。。

Finally, under the attention of the outside world, as well as their own anxiety and expectations, the girls finally ushered in their TV debut:

On October 2nd, Nogizaka 46 titled the group "Where is Nogizaka", which premiered!
