Chapter 311: Footsteps at Tokyo Dome
The accident of Natsumi Hirashima has somewhat alerted the members of AKB, and Atsuko Maeda may be reluctant to give up on her friend, but as the helmsman of an entertainment company, Kagawa Yu is quite satisfied and supportive of Yasushi Akimoto's efficiency in handling the matter and the result of punishment; Now that AKB has just entered one of its peaks, everyone is looking at them with a magnifying glass, and the slightest disturbance in these media may make a noise, and if it is not handled carefully, it will be a big blow to AKB's reputation.
In fact, the incident of Hirashima Natsumi has had a lot of impact on AKB's reputation, but it has been covered up because of another incident at this time.
This is the announcement of the Oscar nominees, in the selection of the major Oscars on January 24, "Frozen" was shortlisted for the best animated record and the best adapted screenplay, and the song "letitgo" was shortlisted for the best film song, best original music and best music album.
If the best animated film is a collaboration between Disney and BLUESKY, then once the three awards of Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Song and Best Original Music are awarded, most of the credit will go to Kagawa Ha, Hoshino Mitsuru and Okumanami, because Kagawa Yu is the adaptor of the script, and the song "letitgo" is a song written by him, and some media have even asserted that Kagawa Yu is already Hisaishi Jean. The finest music soundtrack master in the whole RB.
More media and fans are full of expectations for this Oscars, this is the closest the entire RB film people have come to the award after "The Undertaker", even those who are unhappy with Kagawa Yu have such a mind in their hearts.
The Oscars ceremony will be held on February 24. And "letitgo" has sold more than 3.1 million copies during this time, becoming the highest-selling single of all time, and the two girls Nami Okujin and Mitsuru Hoshino have also appeared frequently on major music programs recently
At the same time, Hazuha Kagawa, Tomonobu Togasaki, and Yasu Akimoto get together to discuss AKB48's concert at Tokyo Dome, which is the greatest wish and dream of every singer or musician. AKB is no exception.
Since last year's Seibu Dome concert, many members have been looking forward to Tokyo Dome, and the staff of AKS and BULUESKY have been planning the Tokyo Dome performance early.
"The date of the concert has been set, just three days from August 24th to 26th, and the specific song list and others have not yet been released." Akimoto said.
"Have you chosen the people to attend this concert?" Kagawa asked.
"A list has been drawn up, AKB48, SKE48, HKT48 and NMB48 will all participate in this concert, and the new group that is preparing to be established in the magic capital and JKT48 will not participate in the concert." Togasaki Tonobu said.
Kagawa Yu's heart moved when he heard this, "What about the graduates of the first semester?" ”
Graduates of the first semester? Togasaki Tomonobu and Yasuya Akimoto looked at each other when they heard this.
"Kagawa-san, this idea is a bit unrealistic. Some of the members of the first batch have already graduated. Then there is no need for them to participate in the concert, and some members have basically lost the qualification to participate in the concert. ”
"I don't think so, since it is the biggest concert since AKB has been founded, the first phase of the graduate body deserves this honor, and many of the classic songs of AKB in the early days would have lost their original flavor if they were performed by other members. For example, songs such as "Fluttering Skirts", "Shonan of Tears", and "Knight", my personal opinion is to let first-term graduates participate in this concert. ”
Yasu Akimoto fell into deep thought.
"Kagawa-san, but if you want to come back to the Tokyo Dome concert in the first term. What about the Middle and Western Peace Islands? Togasaki asked.
"It's impossible for Nakanishi and Hirajima to appear on the AKB stage, and I think Togasaki-san should understand." Kagawa Yu said lightly. Togasaki Tomonobu heard this, and there was a slight regret in his heart.
"Kagawa-san, if the first student participates in the performance, how are you going to design this playlist? There is also a first-term student who has returned, what about the members of the second-term student? Yasu Akimoto asked.
"The members who graduated from the first phase can come back to the Tokyo Dome concert because they are the first students, and the members after the second generation I don't recommend or agree with them coming back. The most important thing is that the members of the first phase can only participate in the concert on the first day, and they cannot participate in the next few days. ”
When Akimoto Yasushi was still hesitating, Kagawa Yu was already waving his hand impatiently.
"I'll leave the organization of this Tokyo Dome concert to me, and I'll leave the playlist and performances to you."
Yasu Akimoto did not hesitate this time and accepted Kagawa Yu's suggestion cleanly.
"Kagawa-san. Didn't you already promise the members of AKB to shoot the movie version of "Majisuka Gakuen"? How's the process going? Akimoto Yasushi suddenly asked.
"I want to start the filming process, but Yuko and Maeda have already gone overseas, and even if they start filming now, there is no one." Kagawa Yu helplessly stalled his hand.
"Kagawa-san, do you see if there are any good seedlings among these newcomers recently?" Togasaki Tomonobu, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"To be honest, I don't pay much attention to the newcomers to AKB now, but in the confrontation of the Red and White Song Club, I saw the performances of the newcomers, and they are still very immature. In other words, among the newcomers to AKB now, there are few people who can be admired. Kagawa Yu said bluntly.
"Kagawa-san doesn't need to be so ruthless, right?" Togasaki Tomonobu smiled bitterly.
"I'm serious, the current group of AKB newcomers are too far from Yuko and A-chan in terms of effort and spirit, and this can be solved not just by force. Until now, many members don't even know anything about the spirit of AKB, maybe in the hearts of this group of girls, maybe AKB is just a star-making factory and a springboard. (To be continued......)
