Chapter 43: Ten Years of Sakura

On this day, not long after Akimoto Yasusu came to the office, he heard Makoto say that Fujishima Takeshi came to him, which made him feel nervous, because the first thing he thought of was that this guy would not come to dig his corner again, he poached the five disciples he valued the most last time, and this time he finally found a good seedling in Nagoya, and this time he couldn't let him snatch it anymore.

So after inviting Takeshi Fujishima in, he asked very cautiously, "Mr. Fujishima, won't you take a fancy to any of my members this time?"

Takeshi Fujishima replied with some confusion: "I came to talk to you about the new album planning plan I mentioned earlier. But then he reacted and said with a smile: "But if Mr. Akimoto is willing to cut his love, then I will definitely not refuse." ”

Akimoto Yasushi waved his hand again and again: "You can't cut it, you can't cut it, and if you cut it again, you won't cut it." Let's talk about the new album. ”

"I hope to release the new album in March next year's graduation season + cherry blossom season. Fujishima Takeshi said in a deep voice.

"Oh, why did you put it at this time?" asked Akimoto Yasu, a little curious.

Fujishima Takeshi's mind, what else can it be, of course, for "Ten Years of Sakura", in Fujishima Takeshi's impression, the song "Ten Years of Sakura" and the promotional strategy of this song can be called a key moment in the history of AKB's development, this song not only achieved a double harvest of sales and word of mouth, but also made AKB's market expand a lot at once, and even won the invitation of the then Prime Minister Taro Aso.

When you think of "March" in RB, two words immediately pop into many people's minds: cherry blossoms and graduation ceremonies.

Unlike the September enrollment in China, most RB secondary school students start in April, and three years later, in March, the day they graduate. The cherry blossoms, the national flower of RB, are in full bloom at this time of year.

The spring breeze blows through the cherry blossom trees, and tiny petals fall off the branches and walk in the wind. It's like graduating from a class or a school, and each of them embarks on a new journey in life.

AKB48's 11th chapter single "Ten Years of Sakura" is based on the theme of cherry blossoms, depicting the mixed feelings of graduates when they are about to go their separate ways, and the solemn decisions they make when facing the future.

After listening to Takeshi Fujishima's explanation, Yasusu Akimoto said thoughtfully: "With the creative motivation of shouting out the mood of his peers, seize the special opportunity of the cherry blossom season + graduation season, and launch a new song with a bright rhythm and a theme that is easy to resonate, well, this idea is really good, and it should be very popular with the students in school." ”

Takeshi Fujishima shook his head and continued: "Actually, it can also be not only for students, you think, who has not had the experience of studying, who has not experienced the graduation season, those who have graduated for a long time and have been working hard in society for many years, haven't they had the idea of temporarily putting down their work, contacting old classmates who have not been seen for a long time, and everyone has a good gathering and reminiscing about the old thoughts?" Therefore, it is possible to add a vision of the future to this song, such as putting everyone at the end of the MV as if everyone will be gathering in ten years, so that there will be more people who can be impressed. ”

"Good idea, good idea, for you to say this, I want to stop working overtime today and find a few old classmates to have a drink with. Qiu Yuanyasu said with emotion, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked again: "Eh, no, Xiao Wu, I remember that you didn't tell me before that there was a special propaganda method, but what you just said has nothing to do with the propaganda method." ”

"Don't worry, I haven't gotten there yet. In fact, my publicity method is very simple, that is, to go to the graduation ceremony of each school to take the initiative to sing, the title song is this new song, which is both appropriate and touching, and sent to every student, teacher, parent and graduate present. Takeshi Fujishima said slowly.

Qiu Yuankang nodded and praised: "Well, this kind of publicity effect should indeed be good, let's go to sing for free and they can drive the atmosphere of the scene, such a good thing those schools should not refuse, and for us, these students are our target market, and the graduation ceremony is an occasion where everyone will not be absent, so this should be the easiest and widest way to publicize, no wonder you haven't said it before, you have to wait until today to tell me."

However, there is still a problem here, that is, it seems that there are many schools whose graduation ceremonies are at the same time, so we can't be busy, after all, it's not good to give up any school. ”

"This is not a problem, think about it, how many members of our AKB are now, dozens of people, even if five or six people are sent by one school, they can sing in ten schools at the same time, it's really not good, just transfer your new SKE48 to help." Takeshi Fujishima said disappreciatively.

"That's right, the biggest advantage of our AKB is that there are many people, and it just happens to give those back row members a chance to show their faces, Xiao Wu, your brain, it's a waste not to plan. Akimoto praised sincerely.

"I'm all a trail, and the most important thing is that Mr. Akimoto writes the song well, and then the girls sing it well, otherwise even the best operation is useless. (It's like writing a book, the content is not good-looking, no matter how many recommendations, no matter how many red envelopes you get.) )

"Well, then I'll be seriously polishing this new song from today, and I must show my best level, and then let the members train hard, so if you calculate it, this more than 100 days will not be enough. Akimoto did the math, and then said.

"Come on, Mr. Akimoto, it's all up to you!" In fact, the tune and lyrics of "Ten Years of Sakura" Fujishima Takeshi can generally sing a few words, but since it is not complete, there is no need to show off, it is better to leave professional things to professionals, at this point he really admires those peers in the online text, and after crossing the past unprepared, he can completely write all the contents of the four famous novels, even "Breaking the Sky", "Buddha is the Way", "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" This kind of tome of millions of words can be written word for word, although he has read these books several times, and the general plot is clear, but if you want to make it impossible to write it.

ps: I recommend this song, it's still pretty good.
