Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 224 "Sunflower"

For more than two years, from the debut of MS on February 2004, 2, to the 6th anniversary special of MS on October 2006, 10, MS, TV Asahi's trump card program, has become a witness on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's growth path.

MS has seen too many future superstars, or singers who have already become superstars, performing on this stage.

Whether it was Hikaru Utada when he first debuted, or Ayumi Hamasaki who has become the number one singer in the Japanese music scene, they all showed the public the charm of their singers on the entire stage.

In the Japanese music world, there has always been a phenomenon, that is, the prosperity of yin and the decline of yang in the music world.

What I said is that among solo singers, in the Japanese music scene, there are much more outstanding female solo singers than outstanding male solo singers.

Since Heisei, among the solo female singers, there are the "Four Heisei Divas", Utada Hikaru, Hamasaki Ayumi, Amuro Namie, Kuraki Mai, as well as Nakajima Mika, Sakai Izumi, Shiina Ringo, etc. female singer.

After entering the 21st century, excellent new female singers are also emerging, such as Ai Otsuka, Aiko, Ayaka and others at the scene.

However, since Heisei, apart from Masaharu Fukuyama, one of the two male gods, and Ken Hirai, who has become one of the top singers in the music world, there are not many other male SOLO singers in Japan, and they are generally recognized by the public. male solo singer.

The male solo singers in the music world have entered the era of being inactive, no, it can be said that they have always been inactive. . .

After entering the 21st century, this situation has not changed much.

Even if excellent male singers such as Kosuke Naka and Naotaro Moriyama appear, they are always just short-lived meteors. . .

However, all this was changed in 2004 when a boy under the age of 14 sang a song that did not match his age and voice, and walked in front of the public.

It took Kiyoshi Sakamoto more than two years to become the leader of the new generation of male solo singers in the Japanese music scene!

His popularity is catching up with his teacher, Japan's first male solo singer Masaharu Fukuyama, and his fellow apprentice, Sony's first brother, Ken Hirai.

In today's Japanese music scene, there are only two and a half male solo singers who can be called heavenly kings. The two are Masaharu Fukuyama and Ken Hirai.

And the remaining half, to put it bluntly, Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

With the decline of the Japanese record market, the decline of solo singers, and the advent of the group era, even Ayumi Hamasaki, the "first lady in the Japanese music scene", has begun to decline in record sales. The boy of Zhiguang is also highly expected by the public.

He did not disappoint the public either. In just over two years, he became the youngest male singer in the history of the Japanese music scene with sales of 700 million records! ! !

And today, on the stage of MS, which has gradually become a gathering place for idol groups and band groups, what kind of amazing performance will he bring after returning after half a year? The audience in front of the plane thought in their hearts.

"Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the little king of music, is he still the same as he was half a year ago, or is he still so talented and fascinated all beings, or has he passed away and is no longer popular?"

All eyes were on the big boy who was about to perform.

. . . . . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who chatted with Tamori for about four to five minutes, came to the center of the stage after Tamori said "Then please go and get ready".

Standing on the stage that he hadn't seen for a long time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly felt like a world away.

"Well, Ri Paris (sure enough)! I still like the feeling of standing on this stage and performing!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, wearing earphones and carrying a guitar, stood in front of the rocking mic, looked at the camera, and threw a handsome WINK with a smile.

"what..."

"Sakamoto-kun!!"

Although the singers at the scene couldn't see the audience's reaction in front of the TV, judging from the screaming reactions of the female audience at the scene, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's charming smile and handsome little moves, they hope to come here more Be violent! !

However, after Kiyoshi Sakamoto blinked mischievously, he put his slender fingers on the guitar strings, pointed his mouth at the rocking mic, and waited quietly for the start of the performance.

Sakamoto Kiyozai learned that the MS program team asked him to sing a new song when he returned on the [-]th anniversary special of MS,
He thought of a very suitable song, very suitable for him as his comeback song.

"ひまわり" (sunflower).

This song, which was only released in 2009, is a very energetic, positive and inspirational song.

The original singer is Yusuke Kamiji from the Shame Heart Group. He is an amphibious artist who has made good progress in the film and television drama and music circles.

When starring in film and television dramas, he uses his real name, Yusuke Kamiji; when he releases singles, he uses the stage name "Yusuke".

And this song is his most famous song.

He just likes this song, which can bring positive energy to the audience. He hopes that everyone who hears this song can live every day full of energy.

And the name of this song, just like his existence, in the eyes of fans, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the sun in their hearts, and they are the sunflowers that always look towards him!
It can be said that Kiyoshi Sakamoto chose this song as a new comeback song because he wanted to thank the fans who have been by his side all the time.

He believes that after hearing this song, fans will definitely receive gratitude from his heart through Kiyoshi Sakamoto's singing!
"Thank you for your continuous support, thank you for your attention, thank you for your love for me..."

This is what Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants to express.

. . .

The lights of the stage focused on the boy again, and he whistled for a while at the rocking mic in front of him.

Before the audience could react, he gently plucked the guitar strings with his fingers. In an instant, a crisp guitar melody was transmitted from his exclusive guitar to everyone who was watching. In the ears of the audience watching the performance.

The audience immersed in this beautiful guitar melody, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto's voice accompanied by the guitar accompaniment came out at once, they all felt an idea in their hearts instantly.

The big boy who is as warm as the sun is back!
"Blue sky and white clouds"

"Can't Stop the Sun"

"Because you are here, I can smile happily"

"A sad parting"

"Best Encounter"

"A miracle is born here"

"La la thank you"

This song "ひまわり" started as a chorus, expressing the singer's gratitude to the audience directly through straightforward lyrics.

Especially from Sakamoto Kiyoshi's warm voice, every sentence sung made the fans feel as if their hearts were being illuminated by the sun, and their bodies were warm.

"The sun shines brightly on the surf, sparkling and lapping the beach"

"The blue sea and the sky are one color"

"..."

The lyrics of this song "ひまわり" don't have too many gorgeous rhetoric, the melody is also a simple guitar accompaniment, and the chorus is not too passionate, but it is just a simple lyrics and melody. It makes the whole song more energetic, and when people listen to it, they feel refreshed and want to run.

It is also because the chorus part is too "saliva", so that after Kiyoshi Sakamoto sang the first section, when he sang the chorus for the second time, the audience at the scene could follow Kiyoshi Sakamoto and sing together.

In addition, on the big screen behind Kiyoshi Sakamoto, there are the lyrics of his song, which also made it possible for the chorus to sing "ひまわり", a song that had never been heard before.

"Blue sky and white clouds"

"Can't Stop the Sun"

"Because you are here, I can smile happily"

"A sad parting"

"Best Encounter"

"A miracle is born here"

"La la thank you"

Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's expressiveness on stage, and his unique ability, can arouse the emotions of the audience and let the audience enjoy the warmth and appeal of the song together, whether it is the audience in front of the TV or the singer on the spot The guests all sighed in their hearts.

"Sakamoto Kiyoshi on the stage, no matter what time of day, is still so dazzling..."

At this time, all the spotlights hit him all at once, making Kiyoshi Sakamoto even more like a self-luminous ball of light, so dazzling that people can't see the figure in it, only him The beautiful singing voice echoed in the air.

At the end of the song, only Kiyoshi Sakamoto's voice remains.

"Maple leaves are dyed, snow is flying"

"The cherry blossoms are falling and the sun is shining"

"Always in the shape of yellow love"

"That's my sunflower!"

After the performance, Kiyoshi Sakamoto bowed deeply, then turned and left chicly. Only the moment of turning around, the smile on the corner of his mouth could express his mood at this time.

"I am back again..."

he murmured.

I don't know whether to say this sentence to the fans who have been waiting for a long time, or to the fans, or to this shining stage. . .

Amid warm applause, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to the backstage.

As soon as he carefully put his guitar into the guitar case, Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw Arashi Goko walking towards this side, who was about to perform on stage.

When Sakamoto Kiyoshi saw Lan and the others, he was also taken aback, and then went up to meet them.

When Lan saw Sakamoto Kiyoshi walking towards them, the faces of the few people were a little unnatural, and suddenly they didn't know how to face this junior who was much younger than him.

They also know that the order of appearance this time must be a bit wrong.

This is also the reason why their complexions are unnatural.

However, before they could figure out how to face Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Sakamoto Kiyoshi walked up to them.

"Damn it!"

"Seniors!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who squinted his eyes with a smile, said very politely, especially on the word "senior", he emphasized his tone.

After finishing speaking, Sakamoto Kiyoshi left in the air, leaving only a few people looking at each other in blank dismay.
