Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 159 Selection in progress

Although the scene of the final selection this time was not very big, the name of Akimoto Yasushi alone made the media flock to it.

However, in order to keep it secret, and to give the media a "surprise" when the qualified members were announced, the media was only allowed to shoot material at the audition venue, and could not enter the interview room to shoot.

Therefore, the media didn't know that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has been in the limelight recently, was inside, waiting to see the performances of the girls. . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto is that "surprise".

That's right, this is one of the plans that Yasushi Akimoto had thought up long ago.

Taking advantage of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity, this new idol girl group will get more attention.

Yasushi Akimoto did not hide it from Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew about it, and it was because he knew that that he agreed to this plan.

In Sakamoto Kiyoshi's view, if AKB can be developed better, he doesn't care at all. His popularity and fame are used by Akimoto Yasushi, because he knows that he and AKB are complementary to each other.

As for the AKB group, the more smoothly it develops, the more profits it can make for Sony. In contrast, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's authority in AKB will only increase.

Conversely, if AKB does not develop well, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's status in AKB will definitely decline.

However, no matter what, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's status in Sony's mind will not decline.

Because, originally, Sakamoto Kiyoshi joined AKB as a music producer, it was just a small "cram class" for Sony to train him. From the beginning, he never thought about Sakamoto Kiyoshi joining AKB, but let Sakamoto Kiyoshi follow Akimoto Yasushi , just learn something.

Therefore, no matter what happens to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, whether he can’t do anything with AKB, or doesn’t do anything, in the eyes of Sony executives, he is still the most favored, "Sony little prince"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi has been invincible from the very beginning! !

And this time for the final selection, it was just Kiyoshi Sakamoto's bad taste.

Although he was the spokesperson of Sony, he had no room to speak in front of Akimoto Yasushi during the selection process.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Kiyoshi Sakamoto appeared in the final selection meeting was to cooperate with Yasushi Akimoto and use his popularity to bring a wave of AKB; Chosen.

He was also very curious about what Akimoto Yasushi's selection criteria were, and the famous "raw stone" theory.

Of course, there is also Achan, Maeda Atsuko who had a relationship with him once.

He was looking forward to what kind of expression A-chan would have when he saw him.

So, today, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is sitting here.

The 45 candidates who passed the final selection were divided into six groups, with seven people in each group. They went from the audition venue to the interview room in groups, accepted questions from the judges, and performed their talents.

The orthodox selection is to examine the singing ability and dancing ability of the participants.

Of course, things like faces can be seen at a glance as soon as the girl comes in, and there is no need for special inspection at all.

Under the leadership of the scholar-bureaucrat, the first group of participants walked into the interview room.

The interview process is like this: seven people sit on the chairs aside, and then come out one by one according to the number, introduce themselves, show their talents, and finally accept questions.

As for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who didn't know much about AKB in his previous life, he didn't pay much attention to the girls from the beginning.

I just looked down at the phone, chatting with Kara-chan through emails about each other's current situation, and at the same time looked up from time to time to see the performance of the girls who were interviewing.

Although he tried his best to keep himself invisible, his appearance still allowed the girls who participated in the selection to see his highly recognizable handsome face.

Therefore, there are not a few people who are taken aback.

The appearance of Akimoto Yasushi is not unusual, but Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who should not be here, actually sits obediently on the judges' seat, watching their performances from time to time, which makes them very stressed. Added a touch of tension.

It has to be mentioned that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is popular among girls, but now he is ranked number one in the entertainment industry. Even Johnny's male idols can't compare to him. It is conceivable how popular he is. The girls are welcome.

Seeing their idols here, the girls who participated in the audition were both excited and nervous.

Therefore, at the beginning of the self-introduction, there are not a few people who hesitate to speak, only stare at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, or are too nervous to speak.

However, fortunately, Yasushi Akimoto deserves to be Yasushi Akimoto. As the producer who founded the "Kitten Club", during the interview, some girls behaved very badly, and there were many unnatural movements, but he still behaved as always. , maintained an expression of listening carefully, and said the words "don't be nervous, take your time" from time to time, which also relieved the nervousness of the girls to some extent, and they became more natural in the following performances.

In the previous groups, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also saw a few familiar faces.

The soul of AKB, chief supervisor, Takahashi Minami.

Chinese cabbage nicknamed "Niangniang", Xiaojiu Yangcai.

"Fashion Responsibility" and "Huya" are exactly like those of Namie Amuro, one of the four great singers of Heisei, Tomomi Itano.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who doesn't know much about AKB, still knows these members of God Seven.

However, seeing their immature appearance now, just like the Ah-chan I saw at the tram station for the first time, they all look so simple, or to put it directly, earthy. . .

Also, since he was reborn in 2017, he has a little understanding of the trend of fashion. It is only after seeing the future dress that he feels how non-mainstream the dress of Japanese artists is now.

Therefore, even if Sony wanted to send him some stylists to be responsible for his hair and makeup, he declined.

Because it is absolutely impossible for him to follow the trend of [-] and dress like a non-mainstream coin, so his hairstyle and dressing style are all done by himself.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has been ahead of the trend of the times for nearly ten years, looks so unique, but the degree of fashion completion is often determined by his face.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's handsome face made his dressing style not attract people's strange eyes, but was favored and sought after by major fashion magazines, and the public began to imitate his dressing style, thus creating a A new fashion style, "Sakamoto system"!
Compared with the dressing styles of Harajuku, Shibuya, Akihabara, Mori girls, etc., the dressing style of "Sakamoto" boys named after Kiyoshi Sakamoto, compared with the current non-mainstream dress, looks more It is more sunny, clean and handsome, and it is also loved by the public boys.

The fashion core of "Sakamoto series" is simplicity, comfort and cleanliness.

There are not too many patterns on the clothes, and there are not too many messy things in the matching accessories. There are more pure colors. It seems that the "Sakamoto style" is similar to the future American street style, but Sakamoto Kiyoshi also added a little neon The characteristics of the rainbow and the feeling of mixing and matching make the "Sakamoto style" gradually become a dressing style that has become popular in the past two years.

As the leader who first led this fashion trend, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was called the "Guru" by loyal fans of the "Sakamoto Department"!
It means the fashion leader of the Sakamoto department. . .

After Uncle Ishida learned that his dressing style was defined as a new fashion style, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was dumbfounded at the time.

It never occurred to him that he just didn't want to dress like a neon non-mainstream, so he had a ball head and wore his matching clothes.

However, it is because of his own influence and advanced fashion sense that everyone gradually recognized his dressing and dressing, and then turned it into a fashion style, which made him both dumbfounded and a little complacent.

However, the birth of the "Sakamoto line" also made Kiyoshi Sakamoto the artist most wanted to cooperate with in major fashion magazines, not one of them.

Therefore, the work on models has increased a lot in an instant.

However, fortunately, Sony did not help him accept the invitations from these fashion magazines in order not to reduce the freshness of Kiyoshi Sakamoto to the public, but only selectively selected a few, the most famous neon magazine cover shooting announcements.

After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't need to take the model route to increase his popularity.

Closer to home, with the passage of time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw that on Yasushi Akimoto's form, circles were drawn on some familiar names.

Neon's exam marking method is different from ours.

They will draw a circle on the correct answer to indicate that it is correct, and usually draw a tick on the wrong answer to indicate that it is wrong.

When Sakamoto Kiyoshi was just in school, he was also stunned by this strange way of changing papers by Neon.

Because, I obviously answered all the questions correctly, why is every question marked with red circles by the teacher?

Later, when he returned home and asked Sakamoto's mother, he found out that this is how Nihong corrected the papers. . .

Now that you have been reborn into neon, then do as the Romans do.

And seeing Akimoto Yasushi draw a red circle on his name, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that these people were all qualified girls.

Takahashi Minami, Kojima Haruna, and Itano Tomomi are all among them.

However, so far, the girl Sakamoto Kiyoshi is most concerned about has not yet appeared.

Suddenly, the participants of the fifth group came in.

And when Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked towards the door, he saw the somewhat unconfident and timid figure in the crowd.

He smiled.

Looking at the thin girl who lowered her head and followed the team slowly to the next chair and sat down, Kiyoshi Sakamoto whispered to himself.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Ah-chan!"
