Kana Nishino once again appeared on the stage of THE SUN as a concert guest!

Kana Nishino, who debuted in February, became famous with the song "そばにいるね".

As of July, the debut single has sold as many as 700,000 copies!

Such a result made Kana Nishino the first rookie female singer to sell more than 700,000 singles in recent years, so the mass media also crowned her with titles such as "the biggest dark horse in the music industry in 2007" and "sweet singer".

In order to strike while the iron is hot, Sony has made Kana Nishino into a new generation of Sony singers in one fell swoop, and at the end of April, Kana Nishino released a second single again.

However, this time the song is not a song written and composed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but a brand new song composed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto and lyrics by Kana Nishino.

What is Love?

Because Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that the early "resentful woman" style that Sony positioned for Kana Nishino could not make her famous in one fell swoop, so, in order to make Kana Nishino become Sony's first sister faster, Kiyoshi Sakamoto directly proposed to Naoki Kitagawa that Kana Nishino's first three singles were all produced and created by him, so as to set a style for Kana Nishino.

After all, the music style, if it is not set well, will lead to a singer who could have become popular, and he will not be popular all the time.

Directly take Kana Nishino in her previous life, the early "resentful woman" style made this future singer whom Sony is very optimistic about a year.

And after Sony quickly changed her positioning to a "sweet" genre, it quickly became popular.

This is the importance of singer positioning.

And Naoki Kitagawa also believes in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's creative ability and vision, Sony is also very optimistic about Kana Nishino's future achievements, since Kiyoshi Sakamoto is willing to be a wet nurse and take a sip of Kana Nishino, then Sony's senior management must think it's good, so he also let Kiyoshi Sakamoto do it.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto directly used the second single to set Kana Nishino's singer style.

Just like in the previous life, go sweet and windy!

And this single, which is themed as a little girl thinking about the meaning of love, is also based on the wind of "そばにいるね" that has not yet dissipated, and once released, it was immediately highly appreciated by industry insiders and loved by fans.

Sold 70,000 in the first week!

Although compared to the sales of "そばにいるね",It's a lot smaller.。

However, you must know that at the time of the debut song, there was Kiyoshi Sakamoto as featuring.

With the help of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fame and popularity, he created a staggering 150,000 tickets in the first week.

Now it is only the second single that Kiyoshi Sakamoto participated in composing, and it is completely dependent on Kana Nishino's popularity and singing voice, and it is normal for sales to decline.

However, even after falling by more than half, Kana Nishino's second single "What is Love" still won the runner-up of the public trust chart in the first week.

This is also to the delight of Sony.

They also know very well that the second single can't continue the magic of "そばにいるね".

After all, it's a divine comedy.

And the Divine Comedy is not something that can be created casually...

Their goal is that as long as the sales of the second single remain above 50,000 in the first week, Kana Nishino will almost be able to stabilize the current status of the new generation of singers.

70,000 sales in the first week, in this era of decline in the record market, is already a very good achievement...

Therefore, after Sony's later publicity and vigorous push, Kana Nishino's popularity and fame further rose, and slowly became one of the most dazzling female singers in the Japanese music scene in the first half of 2007.

And Kana Nishino's second single, as of July, has also sold more than 300,000 copies in three months.

Seeing that the momentum of the single was already at the end of the crossbow, Sony thought of letting Kana Nishino appear as a guest again at the concert of THE SUN and continue to brush up on a wave of presence.

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi also thinks that since he is from the same company, and Kana Nishino is also the same junior sister of THE SUN and Sakamoto Kiyoshi, it is nothing to bring it with him.

So, the first special guest of this concert is the "Sweet Singer" who was born in 2007, the same sister of the SUN band, Kana Nishino!

。。。

Seeing Kana Nishino wearing a shiny little dress, the audience who suddenly appeared next to the stage, although they were all fans of THE SUN, still gave great enthusiasm.

Thunderous applause resounded for Kana Nishino again.

At this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the three of them also took advantage of the spotlight to focus on Kana Nishino, slipped back to the backstage of the stage, and handed over the stage to Kana Nishino.

With only five minutes to go, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who returned to the backstage lounge, changed his clothes in a panic while watching Kana Nishino's performance through the TV in the room.

It is impossible to wear just one set of costumes for a concert, and there will definitely be several sets of costumes to match the style of the song.

Just like the first few songs, they are all sad songs, so the three of THE SUN are all wearing black suits, dressed like the Japanese version of the Beatles.

Next, they are ready to change into a rather sunny and casual performance costume to accompany the next performance.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked loudly, "How long is it?!" while putting his jeans onto his body?!"

"Two and a half minutes to go!" the stage crew, looking at their watches, replied loudly.

And on TV, Kana Nishino's songs are also more than half performed.

"Hurry up!" Uncle Ishida, the agent, also clapped his hands anxiously in the room, signaling that time was running out.

"I'm all right!"

"I'm all right too!"

And while Kiyoshi Sakamoto was still wearing a white shirt, Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba were all done.

Although I had already experienced such a situation at my last solo concert, I didn't feel it last time because there was only Kiyoshi Sakamoto alone, so Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the staff in charge of the concert didn't feel it.

And this time, with the contrast between Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, everyone in the lounge discovered that there was an important thing.

That is, the speed at which Sakamoto Kiyoshi changed his clothes was really slow and outrageous...

"Huh, you're all done?!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked, as he buttoned his clothes and looked at the two men who had already picked up their instruments and were ready to go.

"Nonsense, it's up to you!" Ogawa really complained with a speechless face.

"Oh, let's go!" The disdainful eyes of the two made Sakamoto Kiyoshi a little embarrassed, so, before he could fully button the buttons, Sakamoto Kiyoshi hurriedly picked up the guitar and ran out of the lounge with the two.

"How long is it?!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked Uncle Ishida, who was running along, as he trotted towards the stage.

"Twenty seconds left! Kana-chan's song should be almost finished!"

"Oh no!" the three shouted at the same time, also quickening their pace.

At this time, the three of them were in the corridor and met their second group of special guests for this concert, the lead singer of Coldplay, Chris Martin.

This foreign buddy has just come out of the lounge and is about to go to the bathroom.

And when he saw the three SUN in a hurry, he just wanted to raise his hand to greet the three, however, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi passed by him directly, leaving a word in the air.

"Martin, we're in a hurry... ”

Ignore him like that.

I saw Chris Martin standing in the middle of the corridor with an embarrassed expression, and his half-raised hand also stayed in the air in a funny way.

。。。

After opening a wave of sprint skills, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi still appeared on the stage at the moment when Kana Nishino just finished singing and his second single "What is Love".

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who acted as the host, first took the microphone to thank Kana Nishino for her performance, and then took the opportunity to promote Kana Nishino before Kana Nishino stepped down from the stage.

The three who took over the stage again and changed into a set of clothes stood in their place.

"Now, let's move on!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was wearing a white shirt and jeans, smiled into the microphone and said.

Cheers and applause rang out again.

Twenty minutes later, halfway through the concert, it was time for the second group of guests to appear again.

"Ahem, what's next, it's very difficult for us, it took a lot of effort to invite the guest, he is... No! they are ... ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also deliberately sold the guanzi, dragging a long tail note to amuse the audience.

And in the end, under the constant speculation and commotion of the audience, he said that, the unexpected name.

“Coldplay！”

“Coldplay？”

"Could it be that Coldplay?!"

Just before the more than 50,000 Dongdan audience members could react to the name "Coldplay", the lights on the stage were all extinguished at once.

On the pitch-black stage, the three SUN and Coldplay exchanged in just a few seconds.

With a "snap", the stage lights came on again.

However, the people on the stage have changed from three yellow-skinned handsome guys to a few blonde foreign buddies.

And when the audience saw several people on the stage through the big screen, they all boiled instantly.

The whole East Egg was like an atomic bomb was dropped, and it exploded all at once...

"It's really that Coldplay!"

"The !! of Sri Lanka"

A huge wave of sound rolled towards the Coldplay people standing on the stage.

Chris Martin, who was holding the microphone, looked at the full house in front of him, the sea of red and the heart-rending screams, all of which made him feel the madness of Japanese fans.

"Well, do you want to come here for another concert next time... ”

The enthusiasm of the fans directly gave him the idea of holding a concert here.

"However, let's help KIYO heat up the scene first!"

"Well, let's have them as our guests next time!"
