Chapter 520: The Beauty of Summer

Akimoto Caiga, Tomomi Kawasai...... Most of the players in the previous group know the singing, so the table is very good, and the rice is not surprised, but the song of Hexi and Yamei cuisine is not the case, they are very good, this good Cheng dù is not clear to the rice before, so the appearance of Hexi and Yamei cuisine makes the rice more surprised, and the level of karaoke this time.

But if it's just such a member, the rice may not be very surprised or cared, and what really makes the rice feel very powerful is the girl who appears next after the performance of Hexia Meicai.

Even though most of the people present were AKB meals, quite a few members asked a question.

The...... Who is it?

The members who appeared on stage looked to be in their twenties, so if you want to say that they look good...... It's just a few levels worse than the top members of AKB, and what they are wearing is just ordinary, and only a small number of people call out the girl's name or nickname in the T-shirts specially designed for this summer festival.

"Miyako Sato!"

"Big sister!"

That's right, it's indeed the eldest sister, the eldest sister of SKE, born in 86, the first phase of the 11-year-old Jurina Matsui, Sato Mizuko!

This is a girl who is the same age as Mariko Shinoda, but in the AKB group, Shinoda has already said that he will consider withdrawing from the first general election, but Sato Miyako has just joined last year, and the resources in terms of popularity and recognition are almost zero.

Sato's experience in SKE can be said to be twists and turns.,After entering SK, maybe it's the relationship of age.,The operation is not very much in you for her.,Everyone can feel that the operation recruited her.,It's just to make a transition and don't care about her.。

In March 2009, Sayuki Mori, who was considered to have great potential in the second phase of the operation, was upgraded to a full member by the operation, and at the same time. Because they didn't want more than 16 people, the operation made a decision that seemed terrible to Zhou Xiao, they removed Sato Mizuko from the official member, and then upgraded Mori Saxue to an official member!

If this is for no reason, Mori Sayuki has certainly become an official member, but what will Sato Mizuko think? Will she hate being on KE or AKB because of this? In Japan, the company may have been accustomed to kneading small artists at will, and laughing artists dare not speak out, but Zhou Xiao doesn't like this, and he personally will never agree to do so.

But...... Operations that did this in a previous life. In this life, he still did this, and the operation side seemed to think that it was a trivial matter and did not notify Zhou Xiao, and Zhou Xiao did not pay attention to this matter because he was busy filming, and when Zhou Xiao noticed it, Sato Mizuko had been moved to the graduate student team.

At this point, he was no longer fit to take back the company's order from the new.

Because he can't deny the decisions made by the rest of the company in front of a small member in public.

But Sato Mizuko remembered this person thoroughly, so when the second generation of SKE formed KII, the second team of SKE, Zhou Xiao directly intervened to promote her to KII. And in order to compensate, and because she is indeed capable, Zhou Xiao also put her on the list of karaoke conferences this time.

This karaoke conference may not make her an instant hit. But at least there should be no problem in establishing your role among the fans, and this is the most important thing for a female idol to settle down.

"How did you get her up!" Someone in the audience shouted loudly and rudely. Most of the AKB fans in the audience don't know her at all. Even if they do, they know almost zero about her.

Zhou Xiao smiled unmoved, it was normal to be impolite in the face of unfamiliar people. Zhou Xiao believes that Sato Mizuko will definitely be able to shut up these people.

The eldest sister who walked on the stage, Miyako Sato, sat down in the seat that had been prepared for her, and an electronic keyboard was placed in front of her seat.

"Huh...... Hello everyone, I'm Miyako Sato of SKETeamKII, please take care of me when we meet for the first time, and I'm very grateful for giving me the opportunity to perform this time, so please listen to ...... "Hikari あるもの". ”

The song chosen by Miyako Sato is very suitable for her.

This song is also the work of Zhou Xiao's life, in Zhou Xiao's previous life, this song belonged to the mountain lily incense, in addition, this song is also the theme song of Sekiguchi Zhihong's China Railway Chronicle.

When Zhou Xiao was planning the railway chronicle, he took out this song easily.

Compared with Zhou Xiao's best-selling works, this song by Dashan Lily is a very unpopular one of Zhou Xiao's works.

It is implied that the choice of Sato Mizuko is very wise, the melody is not intense, and this song that makes people feel infinite power and sunshine can easily be adapted into a simple piano work, after knowing that Miyako Sato is going to sing this song, Zhou Xiao did not even participate in the adaptation of the work, he directly recommended her to another person, this person is Michiru Hoshino, who has graduated from AKB, but is still doing her own little singer in AZX, and she can sing and compose like Mizuko Sato, and she put the piano version of " with him. Hikari あるもの" was drummed out and successfully performed on the stage this time.

The venue, which was originally a little noisy, magically fell silent when Sato Mitsuki played the first syllable.

Because the time has come to the end of this summer festival, there is only one such activity going on in the entire venue, but, because of the characteristics of the venue, the audience under the stage is very mobile, even if the chairs are prepared in the operation, when performing before, there are still many people walking around the stage, doing their own things, this is an inertia of the summer festival activities in the past two days is actually normal, but after the singing of Sato Mitsuko sounded, Many of the people who had been moving around their seats stopped and began to listen to the girl singing beautiful songs.

Sato Mizuko's own singing voice is not amazingly beautiful, which is normal, otherwise he can't be in his 20s and not be famous and went to SKE to be an idol, you must know that she originally wanted to participate in the AKB audition, but unfortunately in 2008 AKB, the age limit for recruiting people has been stuck in the position of 18 years old, and the helpless Sato Miyako had to go to SKE to participate in the audition.

Moreover, compared with the girls who have received years of training in the previous issues of AKB, she has not had the opportunity to take too many music lessons on the AKB side, but she is originally a singer, and if she really talks about singing, she can still beat most of the people in the AKB group, Zhou Xiao knows that this time Wisteria is self-defeating, and her appearance is considered a success. Maybe she won't be able to make her popularity popular outside the AKB circle, and it may be difficult for her to enter the top 40 in the general election or something, but such a performance is enough for her to stabilize her AKB career for many years to come.

As for her future work, Zhou Xiao is already beginning to think about it.

Girls like Mizuko Sato and Michiru Hoshino, their talent is not very good, but their dedication to music is very awe-inspiring, and their musical works are not what songs they sing but what songs they write, these songs. It may be difficult to be a single of their own as an AKB group, but if they try to compose CW songs for AKB's squads or solo members first, they should be able to look forward to it.

The sales of the squad launched when AKB became popular are amazing, and if they can be selected, the benefits they will probably get are not inferior to the singers themselves.

Sato's performance has been applauded and praised, and when she finally got off the stage, Zhou Xiao saw that there were tears in the girl's eyes.

The rice immersed in the singing on the stage did not be quiet for long, because the next singing group on the stage after Sato Mizuko left the stage made everyone squirt.

Three girls with their heads bowed, hoodies, and masks stood on the stage. The music sounded, it was "ChooChooTRAIN" from "EXILE"

Although only a small part of his face was revealed, everyone still recognized that these three people were Atsuko Maeda. Tomomi Itano and Tomomi Kawanishi.

The three of them began to sing, Zhou Xiao looked at them with a smile, and he just had a video of the three of them singing this song in his previous life, although this summer festival was more than a year earlier than the summer festival in Zhou Xiao's memory. But just from the steady dìng of the singing, Cheng dù is a lot better.

And then...... Tomomi Kawanishi took off her mask.

"Huh!?" Zhou Xiao was surprised.

In "ChooChooTRAIN" that Zhou Xiao watched in his previous life, the three of them were wearing sunglasses, imitating the appearance of EXILE lead singer ATSUSHI. But this time, Hexi was not like this, her face was smeared with a heavy makeup brush with some traces that seemed to be wrinkles, coupled with the small pigtails that appeared after putting down her hat, Zhou Xiao could see that the person she was imitating was HIRO who appeared at the AKB concert with Zhou Xiao before!

"Hahaha!" THE RICE PEOPLE ALL LAUGHED, AND HIRO, WHO WAS FULL OF WRINKLES, WAS ACTUALLY NOT AS RECOGNIZABLE AS ATSUSHI, BUT THERE WERE STILL MANY PEOPLE WHO KNEW ABOUT AKB RICE, SO THIS IMITATION EASILY RESONATED.

Immediately afterward, Maeda turned his head.

There was no accident this time, the person Maeda imitated did not change and was still ATSUSHI, and the mustache and big sunglasses once again caused the audience to burst into laughter.

And Zhou Xiao in the audience saw something.

"Follow this stance...... Itano Tomomi She ......" Zhou Xiaogang thought of this, and Itano Tomomi finally took off her mask and hat.

There are no sunglasses, a slightly exaggerated blonde wig, and an expression that is clearly specifically imitated.

"Hello everyone, we are E-girls!"

"Poof!" Zhou Xiao squirted out, and what Tomomi Itano imitated turned out to be Mawei Nakajima, who had already graduated from AKB and went to A&E, and his name had been changed to Ami!

And,Even if you imitate Mawei Nakajima.,It's really good to imitate.,Whether it's the makeup expression or that very special voice, you can make AKB Rice, who is familiar with it, hear.,But ...... For Mao to imitate her, you still have to wear the same mustache as Maeda Kawanishi!!

Although the group E-girls has not officially debuted yet, the name has been decided because the group has been relatively stable due to the fact that several people who have moved from AKB have already stabilized the group, and some underground activities have already begun.

Itano Tomomi's meaning is very simple, since E-girls are a combination of EXILE's production zuò, then its style will naturally be similar to EXILE, so blonde, dark skin and mustache are placed on Nakajima Mawei, it should be EXILE.

This can be regarded as a very witty ridicule and publicity of this group that has not yet officially debuted.

EXILE and E-girls are not only not angry, but want to thank them for promoting themselves.

The funny behavior of Maeda and the other three people who didn't care about their image once again warmed up the atmosphere, and then many singers from the AKB Group, such as Misaki Iwasa, Yuka Masuda, and Aya Yamamoto, appeared one after another. Among them, Yamamoto Aya's table is not very good.,Easy to nervous personality and less training after joining AKB, the girl's singing voice has become very tight and even a little trembling.,Now she doesn't know how much responsibility she will be entrusted with in the future.,Now she's just a very ordinary eighth-term graduate student.,Even more people know Sato Mizuko than she knows.。

Despite all her problems, Aya Yamamoto's own voice is relatively normal, and her voice is also lacking in quality, and it is precisely because of this that her path to band membership ultimately failed. But listening to the girl's trembling voice, Zhou Xiao in the audience nodded secretly, this voice was in line with his requirements.

AKB's first karaoke contest and summer festival came to an end in Masuda Yuka's final championship, in fact, if you want to sing well, in fact, Iwasa Misaki, Sato Miko and a few others are no worse than Masuda, but Masuda's advantage is that she is the kind of voice that is very loud, and her singing voice is very imposing. Very attractive type, so compared to others, her table xiàn is significantly more appreciated by not very professional judges, in addition. Masuda has a greater desire for this karaoke tournament, which can be seen from the way she cried with joy after winning the championship, and she and her singing voice really need a sense of identity.

After seeing Masuda win the championship. Zhou Xiao left the venue satisfied, this summer festival was still very successful, and a large number of handshake tickets were consumed to make the next AKB itinerary much more relaxed. At the same time, the members will not face very mechanical fatigue like the handshake meeting, although they are more tired now, but this tiredness does not hurt, it is estimated that as long as they wake up, they can recover quickly.

In addition, the income of this summer festival was summarized to Zhou Xiao's hands after a week.

In addition, many people in the company were surprised that the overall income of the summer festival not only did not lose money but also made a small profit, it stands to reason that so many members appeared, several days of venue rental, preparation of various set facilities, and completely free tickets, the entire summer festival should be almost completely a loss, but the final bill shows that although there is a lot of investment in these aspects of operation, but in the past few days, AKB's singles have increased by about 20,000 sales, and the sales are better. There are a variety of merchandise sold at the venue, some of which are support items such as towels that have been prepared for a long time, and some of which come from the members' own designs and even personal belongings, each of which can be sold at a very good price, but the number of such items can be sold is relatively small.

In the course of this week, all kinds of news about the summer festival have been gradually fed back to Zhou Xiao and AZX, and the fans are almost one-sided in their appreciation for this event, like this kind of activity where the members are not tired and the meals are also very happy.

The operation side is more cautious about this event, the income is indeed good, but the relative investment is also very large, such a summer festival, the investment can be compared to the investment of the last three handshake meetings, and the various preparations in the operation are also very tired, it can be said that AKB's event is with a large investment and operational fatigue, in exchange for the relaxation of the members.

In addition to these, Zhou Xiao also received another piece of the best news for AKB, that is, after more than four and a half years of establishment, AKB's income and expenditure ...... It's finally balanced.

The investment of AKB in the early stage was very large, especially the training classes of several members, and every time I invited a teacher and rented a venue, it was quite a huge investment, and AKB in Yasushi Akimoto's previous life didn't even do this at all, because AKB couldn't afford to do this at that time.

With such a large investment, AKB has been in a huge loss, and I am afraid that only Zhou Xiao in the world can confidently invest billions of yen to operate AKB without hesitation.

Then, in the past four years, although the members have been making money for the group, correspondingly, there has been a lot of investment in operations, and in the past four years, if you take a random time, you will find that the members' ability to make money is far behind the ability to spend money.

But now, a qiē has become different.

AKB still has huge losses, but AKB has begun to make money gradually, to make up for AKB's huge losses in the past few years, Zhou Xiao estimates that it will take a considerable amount of time to do it, but it doesn't matter, he can wait, if it doesn't work in 10 years, it will be 11 years, and if it doesn't work in 11 years, it will be 12 years, Zhou Xiao even thinks that even if he finally ends up with a result of not losing money and not making money for so many years, it is no problem, as long as the members can succeed, as long as AKB is still there, and it is better than his previous life, If only we didn't face that embarrassing decline.

I have to say that Zhou Xiao, who runs AKB with this mentality, can no longer be regarded as a businessman himself. With such a mentality, I am afraid that he is the only one who can do it, and no other company can allow this to happen. (To be continued......)
