It stands to reason that the work schedule for the second year can actually be studied and prepared in December, so why did the AKB already start preparing these things in mid-October?

In fact, the reason is very simple: at the end of 2008, AKB had too many things to do in operation, and if you didn't prepare in advance, you wouldn't have time to do it at the end of the year.

At the end of November and December 2008, AKB held two consecutive con concerts, and in the original history, AKB's two concerts were just concerts and not the so-called CON (concert).

The difference in the number of these two is that a CON usually has multiple concerts, such as AX100 in AKB song rankings, which is one CON for 4 concerts.

Zhou Xiao's previous life At the end of 2008, AKB held concerts, and now it is CON, so in the end, the number of AKB concerts at the end of the year increased from two to six, an increase of four concerts, and the relative workload has also increased a lot, although these two CON are still only at the Tour level, but it can still be seen that the current AKB is indeed more popular than the AKB at the same time in the previous life, on the one hand, Zhou Xiao sacrificed the system of handshake in advance, on the other hand, In terms of music distribution, he did not change companies, and Zhou Xiao invested a large amount of money at any cost, so that AKB did get more income than in his previous life.

Of course, AKB's income now, if it is good compared with AKB at this time in the previous life, but the investment of AKB now is much greater than that of AKB at this time in the previous life, and several TV programs that started a year in advance, and the school-based training that has been carried out since the beginning of its establishment, while improving the strength of the girls, every year is a considerable investment.

So, it's still a long way from breaking even, AKB's way to go.

A few days after the 2009 plan was finalized. The single "Diamond Loud" is finally on sale.

In the previous life, "Loud Diamond" can be ranked in the top five in terms of importance among AKB's singles, because it is in this single that AKB's sales have made a big leap forward, and it is undeniable that for AKB, factors other than singles have a greater impact on sales, and as AKB's turning single, this "Loud Diamond" is not ashamed of its quality.

There is no difference between this song today and this song in the previous life, and the difference is only in one person, that is, Matsui Jurina.

Jurina, who was in her previous life, got the center of this song and was under a lot of pressure. Especially when AKB has just changed companies, her appearance has undoubtedly given many people a target to attack AKB's operations, so a large number of sunspots hit this girl, and no one cares that she is actually only 11 years old.

In this life, although Zhu Lina is still the center, the pressure on her is much less, Zhou Xiao has become the one who attracts most of the firepower, and he bluntly said on his blog that he chose Zhu Lina. Although the girl was reluctant, he still asked the girl to become the center. At the same time, at this point in time, the pressure on AKB is also much less than that of AKB in the previous life. The handshake for each single has been going on for a while, and the number of people who have tasted the sweetness is increasing little by little and increasing the sales of each AKB single, and there is a lot less pressure from this regard without worrying that AKB may disband and return to their hometown at any time.

The number of lottery picks for the handshake meeting is quite good. For this item alone, Zhou Xiao's number has already drawn out more than 70,000 theater plates, according to the previous calculation method. At this time, the number of AKB diehard rice and backbone rice has reached more than 20,000 people, 20,000 people don't seem to be much, but today's AKB, in terms of exposure is far inferior to later generations, it is very reassuring to have so many fixed rice groups, the sales from these rice, as long as there is a single, then to the next single, this sales will still be difficult to shake, this is the characteristics of today's "idol who can meet", and the handshake will be tied to the Internet channel.

Like the Good Morning Girl Group, a single exploded to one million because of the topicality and the table of the excellent members, and the next single was unsustainable and slipped, which basically will not appear here in AKB, AKB's popularity will be more gradual, and it will take one to two years to gradually increase sales, 70,000, 100,000, 300,000, 500,000, 700,000, and finally 1 million or even 2 million.

Then, the same is true of AKB's sales when they are in decline, starting with the number at the peak, first of all, the floating rice gradually leaves, but the middle stalwart still sticks to the team's sales and still maintains a good Cheng dù, until the last stalwart rice gradually wears out, and the group will really die.

In the case that the theater plate has been able to accumulate more than 70,000 sales, the rest only depends on the usual market and the floating sales.

In the anticipation of everyone, the sales of the single "Loud Diamond" came out.

The release time of the single "Loud Diamond" was not particularly good, because the single released on the same day also had two groups of heavyweight singers, that is, Masaharu Fukuyama and Genesys' Hey! Say！ JUMP。

Today's Masaharu Fukuyama is no longer the one who overtook Zhou Xiao with millions of sales on the annual chart, under the impact of new media such as the Internet, even he cannot continue to maintain millions of sales in sales, in fact, Masaharu Fukuyama's single released on the same day as AKB will only sell 160,000 this year, which is actually good to rank 36th in single sales in 2008.

Above Masaharu Fukuyama, another group of entertainers who suppressed him was Genesys' HSJ.

HSJ was founded in 2007 as a smaller and younger idol group launched by the Genesys Three Groups, and after its establishment, it held its "debut" concert directly at Tokyo Dome, making Tokyo Dome, a venue that is an artist's dream place, worthless.

The final sales of HSJ's single was 266,000, which is quite a good number.

The release schedule of each artist in Japan is actually very knowledgeable, and in the case of a very professional calculation and prediction system, when each artist's single is scheduled to be released, how many sales can be sold, and what results are achieved in the O list are basically booked before the release, and if you have no power and power, the office will not push it. Under the influence of these artists, although your sales may not be too bad, the first or second position on the O chart is a huge difference in your own resume.

And if you don't sell well, but you have a lot of power, or if you used to be very powerful, you are likely to take care of you when arranging the O chart, and not arrange strong opponents when you release a single, so that you can easily get the first position.

In fact. Some big singers who are unwilling to give up their former glory rely on this way to continue their record of winning the top spot on the O chart with many consecutive singles.

The two opponents of the single "Loud Diamond" are extremely powerful, and of course this has been arranged for a long time, including those in the operation and oricon charts, who have already decided that AKB will be the third on the O chart this week.

And then...... Sales are out.

First-day sales, HSJ, 178,000, AKB, 83,000. Masaharu Fukuyama, 77,000 ......

……

Hey? Everyone found out that AKB48, the group that was scheduled to take third place, accidentally dropped Masaharu Fukuyama in a single day sales!

It's a big loss of face.

It was supposed to be on the O list. It doesn't say that whoever is old must be powerful, but the reality is that Uncle Fukuyama, who was originally ready to take second place, ended up only having a third place, and this kind of loss is the most important aspect of Masaharu Fukuyama. Especially what their company can't accept.

As for AKB and Zhou Xiao, we can only spread hands, and we didn't use guns to force the fans to buy their own singles, surpassing you in sales. It's just a boost in popularity, and if you want to blame it, blame the people on the O chart for not arranging the release time of the single.

AKB's theatrical sales are about 74,000, which means that AKB's usual disc floating rice sales on the first day are about 9,000 pieces, and if it weren't for theatrical sales, this number may not even be in the top ten of today's daily list.

But...... Relying on the theater plate, AKB accidentally suppressed the head of the king Masaharu Fukuyama, and some girls even joked that this was to report Uncle Fukuyama's hatred for pressing down Zhou Xiao's brother on the annual list, of course Zhou Xiao didn't care about these, but since the girls said so, he wouldn't refute it, at least it was the girls' minds.

The first-day sales of 83000 are of course shocking, but neither Zhou Xiao nor AKB cares much about this number, both Zhou Xiao and AKB know that this number is ...... It's already very extreme, and with AKB's current popularity, the sales of the following singles are not at all theatrical and only regular sales, and in the remaining days of the next week, it is already ideal and powerful to be able to gather 10,000 copies.

As for the sales volume of Uncle Fukuyama, who is slightly inferior to him on the weekly list and even the annual list, I am afraid that the current ability of the girls is far from enough.

For AKB, such a prediction is already very reasonable, but Zhou Xiao found that he seems to have a little difference in the number of floating meals he has for AKB.

Because the team's sales on the second day were a bit amazing, AKB's sales on the second day barely reached 8,000 copies, which is naturally far from 83,000 on the first day, and it is a veritable "one fold the next day", but this number is already very, very good news for Zhou Xiao and AKB operations, the first day's usual sales are only 9000, and the next day's sales are 8000, which means that AKB's usual sales only drop 1000 a day! It can be said that if you only count the sales of ordinary plates, there is no shame in AKB's sales!

And the most important thing for the operators is that after two days of sales, the sales of this loud diamond have reached 91,000 copies, and there are still a few days left, AKB's first 100,000-selling single is coming!

In my previous life, it was during the "Ten Years of Sakura" in 2009 that AKB, which relied on this single called "100,000 Sakura" to get 100,000 sales, and one single ahead of schedule, did what all the previous singles failed to do in a week!

AKB…… It's really going to be red!

The sales on the first day can reflect the momentum of AKB, and the sales on the second day can reflect AKB's popularity in the floating rice, and the sales of Loud Diamond on the second day, the figure of 8,000 pieces ranked third in the sales on the second day of the week, losing to Masaharu Fukuyama's 12,000 copies, and on the weekly list, Masaharu Fukuyama also recovered the gap of 4,000 copies in one go.

The original gap of 6,000 sheets was recovered by 4,000 sheets in one go, and the gap between AKB and Masaharu Fukuyama in floating rice is still obvious. If the events of the third day hadn't happened......

On the third day of the single's release cycle, Masaharu Fukuyama sold. 10,300 sheets, AKB sales, 10,026 sheets......

Today, the sales of AKB girls have increased instead of decreasing, and they only lost more than 200 copies to Masaharu Fukuyama!

What is the reason why the sales of girls are increasing today?

Many times, hard work does not necessarily lead to the completion of all the dreams they want to do, and now the girls in AKB can't do this, so there must be external help to make them do this.

This external force is not Zhou Xiao. Although there is nothing wrong with cheering for his girls as a producer, if he is vigorously promoting AKB, it may cause disgust from floating rice.

At this time, it was Zhou Xiao who really reached out to help, and it was the friends Zhou Xiao had made in the Japanese entertainment industry over the years.

On the day the girls' singles were released, six or seven girls, including Atsuko Maeda and Reina Ono, appeared on AKB's show, and Kazuo Tokumitsu praised the girls' efforts on the show.

And then. Mariko Shinoda, Kiriko Takemura, Tomomi Itano and several other AKB fashion girls participated in a fashion festival that was already in the last two months of 2008. After being an idol in AKB for several years, the potential of girls like Shinoda and Tomomi Itano finally began to slowly unfold, and AKB's first generation was born from 2005 to 2008. It's a bloom that everyone will be amazed by, and the group of girls who looked really sorry for the audience when they first became idols have changed quite dramatically after three years. And among them, it is led by several girls who walk in fashion and model led by Mariko Shinoda.

Many girls in Japan suddenly found that girls like Shinoda and Itano Tomomi seemed to suddenly appear in front of everyone, Itano Tomomi is a standard Japanese girl, with eye-catching duck lips, and a look that all Japanese girls like, while Shinoda has a great figure, and has an enviable little face, their appearance at the fashion festival has invisibly given AKB a lot of publicity, and this publicity is still for AKB, an idol who has rarely set foot in the female field.

And the most surprising is Takemura Kiriko, although this girl is the same as the previous two, she has one of the biggest weaknesses compared with the previous two, that is, she is not the same top beauty as the previous two, a model's face is not good, the figure is not convex and backward, not slender and slender, such a fashion route girl...... Is there anything else that can be used as a weapon?

Kiriko Takemura used her own example to tell everyone that her weapon was "fashion" itself.

Relying on her sensitivity to fashion, Kiriko Takemura has done something that is difficult for even Itano and Shinoda to do.

She has made her dressing style a very original Japanese style, and by virtue of this, she has successfully won the exclusive model of the magazine, a 15-year-old girl, but her achievements are comparable to Shinoda and Itano.

The anchor's Tokumitsu Kazuo, the fashion side of Shinoda and others, in the funny artist world, Zhou Xiao's previous move of carrying glasses to the fat man Ryota Yamazato has also been rewarded, and Ryota Yamazato, who coincides with Zhou Xiao's thoughts, finally succeeded in entering the pit after studying AKB for a while, and became an AKB rice that mainly promotes Airi Suzuki.

Hey? In his previous life, Ryota Yamashato was indeed AKB rice, but in his previous life, he wanted to say that the person who pushed it should be Mayu Watanabe, why did he become Airi Suzuki in this life?

This is going to talk about Mayou's current personal image.

In her previous life, Mayu Watanabe was known as a cyborg idol or CG idol, because in her previous life, she had her signature unchanging cute smile, and the whole person was beautiful as if it was made with CG technology.

But to say that the real Mayou rice in the previous life is actually clear.,This girl who was called "Mayou Young Master" by the rice,In fact, she is not that kind of CG girl at all.,She has a slightly crazy side.,There's a slightly cold side.,It can be said that her personal role.,It's always been borne on that traditional idol.,CG idol.,Her idol career,In fact, it's always been carried out with a mask.。

This life, which is slightly different from the previous life, Mayou's personal image has changed a little, she is still cute like CG, but her sometimes slightly crazy personality is not only seen by die-hard meals, even on TV shows such as AKBINGO, Mayou occasionally shows a little crazy girl-like reality.

As for why this is the case? It's very simple, because by her side, there is a more thorough idol Airi Suzuki.

Airi Suzuki's idol is undoubted, even compared with Mayu Watanabe in her previous life, she is not inferior in being an idol at all, it can be said that if you want to find the most idol among the idols in Japan, then Airi Suzuki is undoubtedly the biggest seed player.

In this life, Airi Suzuki Jr. did not join H! P became a member of AKB, under Zhou Xiao's careful cultivation, at a young age, she even has the ability to be not inferior to her own in her previous life, as a natural idol, after joining AKB, there is no doubt that she replaced the position of Mayu in her previous life, and became the representative of the absolute idol in AKB. (To be continued......)
