Chapter 39: Flowers That Only Bloom Here / Tied to the Future
In mid-June 2004, the first single of the Japanese music newcomer band Hikari Yoyu had not yet dropped off the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and the band's second single "ใใใซใใๅฒใใชใ่ฑ" (Flowers that bloom only here) was released in full swing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ info's second single continues the style of the first single, and it also uses a double-sided CD method of the title song and C/W song, and as a C/W song, it is "ไปใจ Future ใ็นใใใฎ (Connected with the Future)". Unlike the tepid sales of the first single in the early stage and the explosive sales in the later stage, although the second single did not go through much publicity, after the second single was released, the sales exceeded 30W in the first week. Even Mr-Children's new single "Sign" was crushed by Hikari and Yu, not to mention Rainbow's "Feast of Freedom" and Tsuyoshi Domoto's "WAVER". The strong performance of Oricon's weekly singles chart also drove the download of the whole song and the download of song clips from KDDI distribution. And because of the sweetness brought by the distribution field, KDDI even took the initiative to cooperate with the release time of the single of Light and You Band this time, not only taking "Million-Films" as KDDI's external image single, but also taking on the publicity work of Light and You Band in the field of mobile phone market. According to Kazuhiko Sato, Asako Inamori has taken a negative attitude towards investing in the AKB48 plan in Akihabara, and Ms. Asako is more optimistic about the current Hikaru and Yu band, and is responsible for the publicity work of Hikari and Yu Band in the field of mobile phone market, which is not only a disguised compensation, but also to expand the market share of the Inamori family's KDDI in the 3G mobile phone market.
It's just a favor!
Although Asahko Inamori's exit made Kazuhiko Sato a little annoyed, he could make up for it in the KDDI distribution market, even if it was just a favor, Aunt Asako's side, he couldn't complain about anything. Aunt Asahko's words clearly released a signal that Kazuo Inamori disagreed, forget it, if that guy really wants to intervene, I'm afraid it won't be so easy if he wants to play.
No matter what kind of attitude KDDI and Kazuo Inamori have, in short, this summer in Japan has started Hikari and Yu mode!
This being-series band, which suddenly appeared out of nowhere, began to enter the field of vision of the Japanese people.
Just like the Zard sauce of the year.
Of course, Hikari & Yu will be widely known by the Japanese people, not only because of the songs "Flowers That Only Bloom Here" and "Connected to the Future", but also because in this single CD of Hikari & Yu, they found a flyer, a flyer about the AKB48 idol project in Akihabara.
Nagato Daiyuki has no opinion at all about Lee Yu-tae's proposal to sandwich private goods in a single CD. Of course, the premise is that you can produce a work that satisfies him, the chief producer, and achieves results that impress the artists of the Being family, just like Izumi Sakai and Takahiro Matsumoto. Although Hikari and Yu have not yet reached the status of being a brother and sister, they were able to have a single work with more than 50W sales in the cold winter of the Japanese record industry in 2004, and it was also a debut single, which is really impossible to ignore. Bring it with private goods! As long as you can come up with a new work that satisfies me as soon as possible!
Then, Nagato Daiyuki nodded in agreement.
As a result, the AKB48 recruitment plan for Akihabara appeared directly on the single CD "Flowers That Only Bloom Here / Connected to the Future".
"There is a huge amount of energy latent in Akihabara, and I want new idols to be born in the land of Akihabara, with the idea that idols can meet face-to-face. It's not a long-distance idol that can only be seen on TV or magazines, but an idol that you can see just by going to the AKB Theater in Akihabara. โ
And the true face of the band's lead singer YOU (Yuu) also appeared in front of people for the first time.
The boy smiled and said, "I want to see you with personality!" โ
It's just that a successful single was released, and I don't know what the results of the second single will be, so I want to form an idol group? Is it really so simple for this guy who ran out of nowhere to be in the Japanese idol circle? Some veterans in the circle have directly blacklisted the Light and Yu band, do you really think that guys like Chunjun are everywhere? (Good Morning Godfather,It also has Morning Niang,Berryz Workshop,ยฐC-ute and other girl groups,Once one of the members of the shooting chaos Q band) And what theater mode, face to face, boy, go and understand what it means to be an idol, and then come out and mix!
Unlike the ridicule of some veterans towards the Hikaru and Yu band, Japanese junior high school students, high school students, college students and even elementary school students, especially girls, have developed a great interest in the Hikari and Yu band. Well~ To be exact, there was a great deal of interest in the lead singer of this band.
What is the saying? Handsome, often needs to be compared!
By the side of Hikaru Asada, who looks extremely abstract and has even received the title of a savage, Li Youtai, who was already quite good-looking, was completely elevated!
Who says rock bands don't have idols?
Yusang's words, will they be worse than Janiss's?
It's already almost time to catch up with Kimura, okay?
And he plays such a good guitar and sings such an affectionate love song!
There is a wood in the healing system!
Warm men have wood!
The melancholy boy has wood!
Eighteen-year-old has wood?
The prince charming of the dream is yougi!
If he sings "Together Forever" affectionately in front of me, you will marry him immediately!
These are just the flowers that bloomed in the summer of 2004, and they are ready to bloom one by one.
It's a bit too much to flood spring or something, but Li Youtai's handsome image has released an unparalleled appeal at this moment!
As a direct result, the single "Flowers That Only Bloom Here / Connected to the Future" sold in the second, third, fourth, and fifth weeks of the following week...... It wasn't until early August that he encountered Nantian Stars' latest single "You're the Star/Julia Disappeared in Dreams" and Ayumi Hamasaki's new single "INSPIRE" that he was ousted from the top of the weekly singles chart!
Compared with the soaring sales of singles, the AKB48 plan for Akihabara is a bit bland.
Interested in YOU doesn't mean you're interested in the Akihabara 48 Project, although in this plan, there is such an existence as the Good Morning Girl Group's royal choreographer, Natsu Masato!
Of course, there are not all those who are interested!
Yokohama......
