Chapter 647 - Music Program Utage

Immediately after the general election, various follow-up work will begin.

TeamKII's performance is one of the highest priorities.

Zhou Xiao's time, Qiu Yuanyasu's time, and not only these, but the time of the entire operation is also very busy.

As a last resort, a lot of the work had to be done by the members.

Zhou Xiao's music came out at a good speed, and after the song came out, a lot of the rest of the work finally began, including the lyrics of Yasushi Akimoto, the choreography of the dance teacher, the recording of the members, and even the production of performance costumes.

Among them, it was difficult for the members to help in the first few things, but it was the performance costumes and the like, and the little shinobi of the clothing group unexpectedly found someone to help.

The AKB Group's clothing team has been understaffed.

Most of the costumes were designed with students from Tokyo University of the Arts, but at this KII performance, the KII girls asked if they could help design the costumes after listening to the song samples.

Xiao Ren was still a little skeptical about this matter, but after Zhou Xiao knew about it, he gave a very supportive attitude, and he originally hoped that the girls could have more contact with AKB's various plans, not only as members, but also as their own producers.

Zhou Xiao's support is not just lip service, he instructed the clothing group: "If the members of the clothing system is accepted, then the members must be paid accordingly, and they can't be said to be members, but the money will not be paid, if I want to say, there are members who can do this, I can't wait to give them bonuses." ”

After handing over some of the work of clothing making to the members, the girls of KII also burst out with great enthusiasm for this matter, and most of the girls have a dream of being a fashion designer. Now they don't design proper fashions, but at most they are uniforms, but when the girls pick up the pen, everyone can draw pretty good designs!

Among them, especially Furukawa loves Li, Xiao Shinobu designed the girls of KII for two weeks, Furukawa only took out the preliminary design drawings in three days, not just a set, it is a song, sixteen sets of sixteen sets of the same color scheme of sixteen members, and sixteen sets of styles and accessories have some detailed differences!

Moreover, these sixteen outfits are not amateur works! Furukawa already had considerable painting skills. I've always liked female idols.,Perennial contact.,I also have a good experience with the idol's clothing and clothing zuò.,With these things.,Plus the enthusiasm in my heart.,The things designed by the girl.,Even the main person in charge of the clothing group such as Xiao Ren is full of praise.。

In addition to the work that began before the general election and continues to the present, and the work that is attached to and finished around the general election, the emergence of new jobs is the most surprising and anticipated by everyone.

AKB became popular in 2010. Quite a few forces were on the sidelines for a while, but as time passed, it became clear that AKB was not a house of the people everyone feared, but a monster idol group! According to the forecasts of major companies, if there is no big mistake in AKB operation. Since 2010, AKB has been able to maintain their strong form for at least five years (this is said by Junjun of Good Morning)!

It is precisely because of such a strong foundation that people began to dare to do some routine with AKB. It's not a similar way of working with a house.

For example, last year, Zhou Xiao said that he wanted to do prime time, but the flash mob trip he is doing now is after a number of companies and TV stations fought together. It was only by the Japanese TV that took the first place.

Now Japan's major TV stations want to cooperate with Zhou Xiao and AZX Another new project is what he mentioned last year...... Music program.

Japan's music programs were quite brilliant back then, such as TheBestTen and the like, but in recent years, music programs have gradually shown signs of decline, funny show variety shows, artists' expressions still need to rely on TV, the essence of the decline of music programs is here, people have too many ways to get in touch with a singer's new works, for the audience, singers on music programs to perform gradually began to become unimportant, many shallow rice like an artist's way, from watching her go on TV and buying her CDs, to buying them directly online on the Internet.

In fact, Zhou Xiao has always felt that music programs or something, since 2010, it has been difficult to give birth to those traditional music programs.

Since the future of the music program is uncertain, why does he still let out the wind to make a music program?

Because he's purely thinking about AKB, he doesn't need a sense of zài in music programs, but the AKB girls do.

There are many members in AKB who are aiming for the goal of being a singer, such as Airi Matomo and Minami Takahashi, although the number of members with this goal is far less than that of the members who have the goal of being an actor, but in the entire team, the number of members who volunteer as a singer is still one of the largest forces in the group.

Zhou Xiao must do something for these girls to help them find their way to success in the future.

As for what kind of music program Zhou Xiao is going to do?

This question is too simple, after 2010, let alone AKB, looking at the music programs all over Japan, there is only one program that has made new ideas and made something surprising, and this program is "UTAGE" with Masahiro Nakai, which was the main body in Zhou Xiao's previous life.

This program ...... It's actually pretty powerful.

From 1996 to 2010, Masahiro Nakaju has been on TBS with a music program called "UTABAN", and this program AKB has also been on it, and "UTABAN" has been doing this program for more than ten years, which shows that it is a very good one.

But TV shows also have a lifespan, the normal time of a program is usually only a few years, and any program that lasts more than ten years can be called a longevity variety show.

The life of the show is long, and there will be the same problem as people getting older, and the show gradually loses its vitality.

Not only the show itself, but also the main other person in the show, Takaaki Ishibashi of the tunnel duo, has gradually lost the vitality that it should have.

In 2010, the show finally stopped.

Although the show has stopped, Masahiro Nakaju may not want to stop producing music programs.

AS A RESULT, AFTER "UTABAAN", TBS, NAKAJU, AND PERHAPS JANIS HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A NEW MUSIC GROUP.

If there is no Zhou Xiao. From 2010 to 14, Nakaju and TBS will produce five music shows in a row, including one prime time music show with AKB!

But...... Of the five programs, none of the first four survived.

It's not easy to do music programs.

It's no longer enough to just sing, singers to sing other people's songs, and all kinds of collaborations that change the law, and the music program must have more gimmicks in order to survive in today's recessionary environment.

The success of "UTAGE" is not how well the show is done, not how well the singers sing, but simply that the show has found enough interesting places. It's just a reason to keep watching.

Take out this show in advance, Zhou Xiao is not ready to be the MC of this show or act regularly.

But this is also a bit troublesome, if he doesn't do it, it is obvious that he wants to do it in Nakaju Zhengguang, so that with the dance festival group, the entire variety show is equivalent to being taken up by Genesys, this show is Zhou Xiao's request to make zuò in order to promote AKB, if Genesys' people occupy too many roles, then the role of AKB is undoubtedly a lot lighter. The publicity effect is also insufficient.

Therefore, Zhou Xiao took out the script of the entire show to negotiate conditions with Janiss, and after consideration, added more AKB characters to it.

The first project he came up with was a project for idols.

This project ...... The pen is huge.

Zhou Xiao found ten groups of singers. The men's side includes two groups of Janiss, one group of the EXILE team, and the other two groups, one of which is a famous male singer. For example, Kawabata in Zhou Xiao's previous life UTAGE, つるの剛士, Yutaro Miura or something. Another group of places is reserved for male singers who come to the show to also promote.

Then the girls' group includes two groups of AZX, which includes other female singers and groups of AZX in addition to the AKB group, such as Momokusa, Nogizaka, Kana Nishino, plus E-girls, etc., leaving three groups, two of which are reserved for promotional singers and famous female singers as usual, and the last group is reserved for other female idols of major Japanese companies.

These ten groups of artists, each group of each program may only have one or two people or even one person, but it doesn't matter, in a small part of each program, both men and women will draw lots in the way of opponents, and as for the content of the duel, each group was selected before.

For example, the AKB group can choose songs from their own team, or they can choose more difficult songs, and maybe even more feminine songs for the boys.

And the same is true for boys, Genesys's songs, EXILE's songs, sung by girls, must have a different flavor.

As for the candidates to participate in this part of the show, Zhou Xiao made the decision that most of the actor volunteers in AKB cannot participate in this show, and the members of the singer volunteers will have the opportunity to star first, such as buono composed of Mayu Airi Yamamoto! , another example is Takahashi Minami.

Not only them, but the most important thing for Zhou Xiao is to find out the other members and prepare for them to appear many times, and even the number of appearances is not inferior to those top members.

The members selected by Zhou Xiao are...... Masuda Yuka, Iwasa Misaki, Takeuchi Miyu and other members, as well as ...... Mina Oba!

The first few are well-known singers in AKB, top singing masters, and the type that can definitely scare off chopsticks when singing a mouth on TV, and this chubby girl in the back who is not good-looking,...... A certain amount of dù is also considered a type that can scare off chopsticks.

Mina's singing voice was actually disclosed on other opportunities before the legendary "Letitgo", and as a producer, Zhou Xiao certainly knows her singing voice very well.

Strictly speaking...... If you let her sing calmly in the studio, she is not completely bad at singing, at least you can't say that she is incomplete in five notes, and you can't say that she has no sense of rhythm at all.

The main problem of this girl is that she is easy to be nervous and her music literacy is not enough, especially when she is nervous, she has no sound when she is nervous, and she still talks about good singing.

Singing badly is almost ruinous in traditional Japanese female idols, but the time has come now, especially in Zhou Xiao, I have seen the "style" of the dance festival group, and I have seen AKB rice against Oba Mina, and Asaga Mizakura. After Natsuki Kojima and other AKB "Three Singers" were sought after, he finally understood one thing, that is, singing badly can become a very interesting gimmick, just like the audience likes SMAP songs, most people are actually bad at singing, and when people see artists who sing badly, the first thing they feel is cordial rather than hateful.

This is the survival of the dance festival group, as well as Mina Oba and others.

It is also the purpose of UTAGE's program.

The big field and the dance festival group are evil idols, in addition to making the show look good. The other most important role is to set off the idols of the righteous path.

This so-called righteous idol is naturally Bouno! Finish.

Masuda Yuka, Iwasa Misaki and other members, in the show, are stored as female singers, they are responsible for performing a variety of songs, and their status is like in the previous life, Imai Eriko, Shimabukuro Hiroko, but the people around whom the whole show really revolves. The one who really stands out is still buono!

Buono composed of Aya Yamamoto, Airi Suzuki and Mayu Watanabe! It is undoubtedly the most capable musical team under the AKB Group. Zhou Xiao is also the most concerned about the creation of the three of them.

Since buono! Since its establishment, not only in terms of music, Zhou Xiao has invited being's professional rock producers to make special preparations, and he even recruited a pure girl band for the live performance of the three! A small team of girl idol groups. is singing rock-style tracks, not only the band but also master musicians such as Zhou Xiao to follow and create, such a team...... It's not red, it's just no ...... Forehead...... Such a strong squad. But it's really not very popular.

Why not red? It's simple, because this squad doesn't take the usual AKB squad route.

The common AKB squad is just a super-small AKB, which releases singles, promotes programs, holds handshakes, and encapsulates various bonuses in CDs......

Then, at AKB's most popular now, sell it for 100,200,000 to make a fortune......

This is the most common AKB squad.

But they are different.

Buono who has released four singles since his debut! There are no handshake coupons in the CD, and variety shows don't use AKB's resources, so it looks as if the operation department cares about them entirely.

There is usually only one activity for them, and that is live, forever live, endless live! In parks, in theaters, at open-air rock festivals, and even on the side of the road...... The three of them led the band, and the live was one show after another......

They have accumulated a lot of word-of-mouth and a lot of fans, which is their most tangible accumulation, and it is also the main reason why they have not become popular now.

Because of this way of live dinner...... Keeping up with the TV, the handshake will be too slow!

Among the three girls, Aya Yamamoto also wondered why they buono at first! It's this way of operating, as for Mayu Airi, they didn't care about Zhou Xiao's brother's new and wholehearted belief at all.

Later, it was Zhou Xiao who explained his own thoughts to the girl.

The first problem is that Mayu Airi's time, they need to take care of their studies, they can only be busy with work outside of their studies, live has used up too much of their time, they can't have time to do work like handshakes, so to speak, this is a choice after weighing.

"Also, you are now in the accumulation period, the critical period that really allows you to grow, and the time to publicize you has not yet arrived." This is what Zhou Xiao said to Yamamoto Aya at that time.

And now, the time has come.

UTAGE, which will be used as a prime-time program in the future, does not need them to play variety shows, only their wonderful performances, which are not known to the world, the amazing voices and musical abilities of the three will shine in the show, this is what Zhou Xiao wants, suitable for their way of becoming popular, rather than relying on handshakes and relying on the modern but "cunning" way of being on TV to become popular.

Of course, it is obvious that this marketing strategy wants to succeed, the background of AKB's big era is born to provide a meal group, the contrast between the superior strength of the three and the identity of idols, the ability of the people in the company to make a group of people who are skinny and a camel is bigger than a horse, plus Zhou Xiao's brother is unswerving, and he doesn't care about investment and loss investment methods, and there are artists all over Japan who can support such an operation, only buono! That's it, if you change someone else, even Maeda Oshima can't do it!

The broadcast time of UTAGE is scheduled to start in July of this year, so in May, the program script and other preparations will begin, and in mid-to-late June, the recording of the program will begin.

The girls' busyness seems endless, although after the general election, Zhou Xiao began to beg his grandfather to fight for the girls' holidays like grandma, but many members, especially the TOP members' holidays are still as precious as gold, although distressed, Zhou Xiao can only helplessly watch the girls become tired day by day, their faces began to gradually cover the gray of fatigue, their smiles began to gradually become reluctant, the show recording scene, they no longer pestered Zhou Xiao like little bees as before, They began to hurry up more and more to catch up on sleep, like a little lazy worm who couldn't wake up all day.

In fact...... That's not how they are......

They are like this because they are busy......

And then...... In the midst of this fatigue, Seibu eggs are coming. (To be continued......)

PS: The following is a joke: the first 1.5 million words are written for Japanese entertainment, the last 1.5 million words are written for AKB, and the third is 1.5 million words, and I am ready to write SNH hahahaha! Then came the fourth 1.5 million words, Zhou Aotian traveled through the ephemeris.................. I don't know how many years, but AKB0048 began! Hahaha!
