Chapter 136: Mobilize the Numbers!
After the performance in Sapporo, the kittens left on a bus to Hiroshima in front of the fans, this time by Shinkansen.
In broad daylight, the kittens lay on the car seats one by one to sleep, and the non-sleeping kittens played tricks on their sleeping companions, all of which were captured by the team photographer.
After arriving at the destination, there was a small episode, and there were many fans waiting at the station! Unprepared, in order to avoid accidents, the group rushed to the parking lot and left by bus.
"On this tour, your performance is very good, and everyone can get 100,000 prize money!"
Blackwood looked at the exhausted kittens and decided to give it a boost.
Wow!
The kittens' eyes really lit up, and they thought that Mr. Kuroki was still as generous as ever.
Kuroki asks Ogi to distribute the prize money to each kitten.
"President, it's not okay, their agent is also in the car." Ogi whispered.
In the past, when Blackwood City gave gifts or invited guests to dinner, it was difficult for other people's offices to say anything, and if they sent money directly, the office would definitely care.
"If you give them the office, few of them can get their hands on it, and give it to them, even if it is taken back by the office, who will the kitten hate? Whose will you remember? Blackwood said.
Oki smiled from the bottom of his heart, not because of the words in the back.
Compared to their agency that exploits artists like crazy, Blackwood City is simply a conscience.
This kind of exploitation is considered the norm in the industry, and kittens with a fixed monthly salary will not feel wrong to learn that the record has sold hundreds of thousands of copies.
Now Blackwood City is giving out less than one-tenth of the sales they have generated this time, and they are still full of gratitude to Blackwood City.
"Shizuka, can you get money for a single from your firm?"
Kawai Garden, who was sitting next to Shizuka, suddenly thought of something.
"If a single sells for 1,000 yen, you can get 9 yen."
Shizuka didn't think about it, blurted out, regretted it immediately after speaking, carefully observed the surroundings, and said, "This is to be kept secret, don't say it to the public." ”
My Healing Game
She thought of Kawai Sonoko's honest and quiet nature, and immediately put her mind at ease.
Kawai Sonoko didn't seem to hear it, and her eyes trembled, as if she had been hit by a lot of shocks.
9 yuan is not a small amount for their idol singers, on the contrary, it is very tempting.
For example, she can only get a fixed monthly salary, if it is the same contract as Shizuka, the single is a big hit, at least she can get a few million, even if the majority is taken by the firm, there will be a lot of income.
Looking at Shizuka's nonchalant appearance, Kawai Sonoko really wants to say that she doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings.
Among the popular kittens, only she and Sayuri are in other offices.
"Sayuri can release a single because she is very close to the teacher, my words, is it okay?"
Kawai Sonoko has been practicing her singing skills hard and appearing on other music programs.
However, Kuroki City has not revealed the intention of letting her release a single.
On the contrary, on the day of early March, they were rehearsing for the concert, and Yoshizawa, member number 25, released a single and successfully won the weekly chart, and got the opportunity to sing alone in Sapporo yesterday.
The bus came to the venue, and like last time, after taking them to get acquainted, they arranged to stay and eat.
The performance was on the 21st, which was a full week, so the pace of this rehearsal was slow.
In the face of the frolic of the kittens, the staff did not stop it.
Sonoko Kawai was in a depressed mood and noticed the camera that was placed in the dressing room.
Cameras in this era were still bulky, and the flash was bigger than a person's face.
Kawai Sonoko fiddled with it in his hand and walked absentmindedly in the venue.
Behind the accusation group rehearsing on stage, Kawai Sonoko had a whimsical idea to take pictures on stage like a photographer.
The two kittens on the stage were very popular and in a very good mood, waving to the camera and posing.
"Kawai Garden, don't mess around with the equipment, it's very expensive."
The photographer hurried over and blamed as he retrieved the camera.
Kawai Sonoko saw that he took the camera and continued to check whether it was broken, and felt aggrieved, as if he would fail in everything he did.
"Don't be so mean."
Kuroki Castle emerged from the darkness and stood beside Kawai Garden.
The photographer, who was supposed to blame, immediately apologized.
"You've worked hard too, go get busy."
Kuroki laughed.
As the photographer left, Sonoko Kawai looked at Kuroki Castle and called out weakly, "Teacher." ”
She is less than 1.6 meters tall, so close to Kuroki Castle that she needs to look up to see the teacher's face.
"There are still 6 days to go."
Kuroki said to himself.
Kawai Sonoko was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he was talking about the time of the next performance, and he didn't know how to answer.
"I should still have time to record a song for you."
"What?"
Kawai Sonoko doubted that he had heard it, and felt that it was too dreamy, and what he had been thinking about just now was really going to come true?
What she didn't know was that she had been on Blackwood City's list from the beginning.
For the simple reason that on Earth, her singles ranked tenth in total sales of the year, surpassing Guri Nitta and other kittens, and was the only one to win the sales crown for two consecutive weeks.
Other kittens are fan-economy, and sales tend to be higher in the first week, decrease by a third in the second week, and then continue to decline.
Kawai Garden is different, and the reason is because of her singing.
The reason why I say it now is because this is also the arrangement on the earth.
The months and dates of the national tour are highly consistent with memories, and in addition to that, the timing of each kitten's release of the single is also the same.
Sonoko Kawai's first single was released at the same time as the second concert began.
Kuroki doesn't know why, but he has already written the song "End of the Season Love", which has been the top of the weekly chart for two weeks in a row.
The record distribution company is ready, just waiting for Sonoko Kawai to finish mastering.
"Time is a bit tight, if you don't think you can't, you can only find other kittens to sing." Blackwood said this deliberately.
Because Kawai Sonoko is too soft.
"I can do it!" Kawai Sonoko blurted out, letting go of her previous restraints, and her face flushed with excitement.
"That's right."
Kuroki smiled with satisfaction.
He had already booked a recording studio in Hiroshima and proposed the music he wanted to use.
By the time he and Kawai Sonoko arrived, the musician was already waiting.
At first, Kawai Garden was not adjusted to its best, but after an afternoon of adaptation, it finally got better.
By the time the recording was complete, it was already dark outside.
"On the 21st, it's the day of the show, and if you can sing live, your fans will be the first to hear it." Kuroki said.
Hearing this, Kawai Sonoko could no longer restrain himself and threw herself into his arms.
Kuroki smiled and patted her on the shoulder, thinking that this chest was a little flat, and she didn't feel anything.
……
On the day of the concert, Sonoko Kawai was the first kitten to go on stage alone.
The other kittens are very curious, Kawai Sonoko didn't release a single, what to sing on stage.
Kawai Sonoko faced countless pairs of eyes from the audience and said that she was going to sing her latest single.
Her fans were thrilled to find out that she could prostitute her latest single.
Accompanied by the melody, Kawai Sonoko began to sing.
Singing and singing, the atmosphere of the venue is a little delicate.
These fans came to see the kitten's appearance, and it doesn't matter if the singing skills are good or not.
Prepared for this, they now find that the singing of Kawai Garden is quite good.
Kawai En's fans are proud, and compared to other kittens, their beloved Kawai Enko has such a beautiful singing voice, it will definitely blow up!
Because the peripherals were sold too quickly last time, the fans who came in later didn't see the kittens, so this time Blackwood City arranged the peripherals at the end of the concert.
It just so happened that the freshly baked Kawai Sonoko single was sold out.
The kittens, who have a good relationship with Sonoko Kawai, are happy for her, and they know that Sonoko Kawai is working hard to improve herself, and they keep thinking about when she will release a single.
Now I finally got my wish, but seeing her so popular, these kittens have some bad feelings in their hearts, and they have more complicated feelings than envy and jealousy.
The second leg of the show ended successfully, and the remaining three performances will be smooth if there are no accidents.
……
At the end of the month, the program group of "Dusk Meow".
The host and guests are talking about the number of people mobilized for the artist's concert.
It is well known that the people of District 11 are particularly fond of leaderboards.
In the program, the host is revealing the ranking of the number of celebrities mobilized last year for the audience.
B'z, the No. 1 rock band, mobilized 1.51 million people and performed 36 performances, with an average of 40,000 per game2.
In second place was Miyuki Nakajima, with a mobilization of 800,000 people and only 18 performances.
There is also the hottest Toshihiko Tahara on the list, with 427,000 mobilizers, 16 performances, and an average mobilization of 20,006.
When the two hosts said this, they suddenly raised their voices, accompanied by passionate background music, and announced the results of the Kitten Club in the past half a month.
The total number of mobilized people was 115,000, with an average of 20,000 3 per game!
The details are Sapporo 14,000, Hiroshima 21,000, Nagoya 23,000, Sendai 22,000, and Osaka 35,000.
"With the hard work of the kittens, I finally realized my dream and became an idol and singer recognized by everyone!"
After the host finished speaking, the show played the highlights of the concert tour.
The 5 shows ended without a hitch, and the Kitten Club and Blackwood City have begun their return journey.
