Tokyo Dome, August 24, 2012. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tens of thousands of spectators entered early, and many people even waited outside all day just to get in early.

In the afternoon, hundreds of staff and hundreds of security guards had already started to work on the site to prepare for the next grand event.

At this time, Uesugi Muneyuki and Kenji Kitagawa in suits also entered.

Looking around, Uesugi also lamented that Tokyo Dome really lives up to its name, and the 55,000-seat stadium (45,000 seats, others are floating seats) has always been an important factor in whether the artists are top-notch and whether they are generally recognized in Japan.

On December 22, 2007, the Japanese pop boy group hey!say!jump held their debut concert for the first time at Tokyo Dome, with an average age of 15.2 years old, becoming the youngest singer in the history of Tokyo Dome.

The J family and the East Egg are basically bound in nature.

Of course, due to its universality (i.e., most of the people who eat Hallyu are a group of people) and cheapness (i.e., the artist's share is very low and cheap), it is easier for Japanese artists to perform on Dongdan.

In fact, Tokyo Dome is not unattainable as everyone thinks, that is, as long as you can afford to rent a venue, and then you don't have to go against the Genesys office, then you can board the East Egg to perform, and from this point of view, it seems easy to get on the East Egg.

Since 09 years, the Korean Wave began to invade Japan, and in recent years, there have been more and more Hallyu artists who can go to the East Egg, and this year it has almost reached nearly 50% of the Hallyu artists who sing in the East Egg, however, Uesugi Soyuki knows that the good days of the Korean Wave are coming to an end, and today, the Japanese people have actually begun to feel tired of the over-promotion of the Korean Wave's culture, and the relationship between Japan and South Korea is deadlocked because of diplomatic issues, therefore, in addition to a few Korean groups that have opened up the situation, In addition to the channels that S.M can obtain through Ai Hui Records, it will be more difficult for other Korean groups to operate in Japan.

But it has nothing to do with me ... Uesugi Muneyuki turned his attention back to the Tokyo Dome in front of him.

On the surface, it seems easy to climb the East Egg, but for many artists, if you fail to make the attendance rate reach at least ninety percent, especially if you can't even complete it with 40,000 people, it is a very, very unsuccessful and very, very humiliating situation, which will be ridiculed by everyone and nailed to the pillar of shame, so even if there is money to make the artist go to the East Egg, the office and the artist will weigh it themselves. Can you fill the venue, which has a capacity of 55,000 people (depending on the number of seats) or more?

For many artists, Dongdan is not the end, the real apex, in the Tokyo National Stadium, the National Stadium that can accommodate at least 80,000 people is the apex of many artists, such as Arashi has held concerts at the National Stadium for four consecutive years since 2008, however, for female idols, it is already the apex to be able to hold a concert in Dongdan.

Of course, the technophil remembers that AKB held a concert at the National Stadium later...

However, the 12-year-old East Egg is the real apex of AKB, and until the end of the memory of the tech nerd, even if the single sales barely dragged to one million with the momentum of Nana Hashimoto's non-graduation, Nogizaka 46 is still a little far from singing in the East Egg.

"Zong Xue, the concert will take a while, let's eat something first." Kenji Kitagawa took a few boxed lunches from the staff and gave one to Uesugi Soyuki.

"No... You eat! Uesugi smiled and shook his hand.

Kitagawa Kenji didn't think much about it, and began to eat with his head covered.

After taking a few bites of him, he found that several waiters in cooking delivery clothes were trotting over all the way after consulting with the staff: "Hello, Mr. Uesugi, the delivery service we provided for you has arrived." ”

After saying that, the waiters set up the iron plate on the spot and began to make the food.

"Hmm... Uesugi Soyuki called Yasushi Akimoto, and soon, Fat Autumn, who was dressed in a black suit, chubby, and had a flat expression but couldn't stop being excited, appeared.

Seeing this, Feiqiu was also unceremoniously, he sat down, and ate with Uesugi Zongxue: "Uesugi, you really have a heart." ”

"You're welcome, Mr. Akimoto, I ordered a luxury package for four people." Uesugi said with a smile.

"Phew!" Kenji Kitagawa quickly spit out the food in his mouth, put the lunch box aside, and sat down to eat it together.

"Can you add me one?" Togasaki Tomonobu also appeared, and this dark-skinned, sturdy middle-aged man also seemed to smell the smell of food and walked over with the smell.

Uesugi Soyuki naturally didn't care, so the four of them sat down to eat together, and it could be seen that Fat Autumn and Kitagawa Kenji were fine, and Togasaki Tomonobu was really tired, so he ate without scruples.

The four of them ate a little, Togasaki Tomonobu immediately said that he was still busy and was leaving, and Yasu Akimoto stood beside Uesugi Soyuki: "Uesugi, look, AKB, has already boarded the East Egg!" ”

"Yes ... It took almost seven years. Uesugi Soyuki said, looking very emotional.

This was the victory of Yasu Akimoto, who, as the creator of AKB48, single-handedly created a new idol concept, then established an idol family, and finally gave it to Dongdan.

Those who once questioned Fatty Qiu, those who once looked down on this idol model, all closed their mouths, and Fatty Qiu once again proved that he was a well-deserved gold medal producer in the field of female idols.

He has successfully established an idol industry chain that can create 200 billion yen worth of 200 billion yen per year, and he, as the initiator of this industry chain, has established his position in the entertainment industry in one fell swoop.

"The dream of 1830M, the theater is really close to here, only 1830M, but it took us seven years to get to this place." Fei Qiu looked a little moved, he looked at the huge stage, and was silent for a long time.

Kenji Kitagawa was also moved, the second son of the chairman of Sony Music, who joined AKS after graduation, and several years have passed, and he has been watching the development of AKB, from small achievements, to the growing downturn, to the darkest moment of losing the record company, and then suddenly with "Loud Diamonds" came back to life, and in one fell swoop embarked on the road to becoming a national idol, concerts from the Japan Youth Hall, to Seibu Dome, Saitama Super Arena, and then to Tokyo Dome.

The girls of AKB48, step by step, walked into this place.

Among them, the sweat and tears of countless girls are condensed.

Uesugi Soyuki glanced at Fei Qiu beside him very meaningfully, unlike many fans who imagine that he would establish a 48 family by himself, the technical nerd knows that it is impossible for him to put aside Fei Qiu and do it alone, only Fei Qiu has the ability to gather these connections, these resources, these girls with different personalities and talents through this special means, he is alone, there is no way to achieve the level of Fei Qiu, not to mention two hundred lyrics a year, more than a dozen program plans, and countless personnel and resource mobilization.

After talking to Yasusu Akimoto for a while, Fatty began to ask tentatively, "Look, Uesugi, AKB has already done it to such an extent, if I propose JPN... ”

"Akimoto-sensei... It's not the time to talk about it, or the occasion to talk about it, is it? Uesugi Soyuki deliberately looked left and right, and Akimoto Yasushi thought about it, so he shut up and stopped talking, saying that he still had something to do, and offered to leave.

Uesugi Soyuki and Kitagawa Kenji glanced at each other, and they both knew that there were many people here now, and it was not the time to talk, so the two of them began to wait quietly for the concert to begin.

As night fell, the lights came on, tens of thousands of fans had already entered, and the concert was about to begin.

In the center of the concert, the huge screen lit up, and countless fans in the audience were sensational, all raising their light sticks in their hands and shouting loudly.

“A，K，B，48！”

"Hey! Hey! Hey! The fans waved the glow sticks in their hands and responded loudly.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! "The huge screen opens from the middle, and countless steel brackets are divided into a small block, and in each small block, a girl in a red leather dress and red leather boots stands.

Six rows, countless columns, countless small squares, from a distance, extremely spectacular, give people a strong sense of visual oppression.

AKB is trying to express itself: "Tokyo Dome, we're here!" ”

Then, the grid made of steel supports was opened and the lights were now dimmed.

“areyouready？”

“Are！ You！ Ready？？？ ”

Boom! The sound of the audience vibrated and the lights sounded, and the familiar music that came from it made many old fans who had followed this group since its inception begun to tears.

“Party！ Party！ Six girls came out of the middle, wearing pink and navy blue plaid uniforms, black tufts, black stockings, black uniform boots, ties, and large navy blue flowers.

"Yona Kojima, Tomomi Itano, Minami Takahashi, Atsuko Maeda, Minami Minegishi, Mariko Shinoda ... Uesugi Muneyuki in the audience said silently.

These people, all of them are first-term students (Mariko Shinoda is actually 1.5 period, that is, supplementary recruitment, but they are generally counted as first-term students), and they are almost the entire Yuan A.

Brought AKB countless glories, Yuan A.

“party！ Leave everything behind~"

“party！ Get your body moving! ”

This song was sung by AKB when it debuted, and the first performance "party has begun!" The first song, "The Party Begins".

At first, they had to perform the song in a small, crowded theater with two pillars blocking the view, and the first public performance (actually the second, because the first was only open to the media and journalists) had only seven audiences, and the girls were more than twice as large as they were.

But now, they are singing the first song of their debut at Tokyo Dome.

Now, 48,528 people are watching their performances, and more than 840,000 people are trying to buy tickets for the concert.

Now, we are national icons! The dream of 1830M, we have come true!
