Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 225 I'm back!

Immediately after the broadcast of the MS [-]th anniversary special, fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto flocked to Sony Music's official website.

They have only one purpose, and that is to search the official website for the sound source of the new song "ひまわり" that Kiyoshi Sakamoto sang on the [-]th anniversary special.

Within an hour, Sony Music's official website was instantly overwhelmed by the huge number of pageviews, causing Sony Music to temporarily shut down the official website, although it was only for ten seconds. . .

However, it can already be seen that fans are enthusiastic about Sakamoto Kiyoshi's return.

After the Sony Music official website was blown up, fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw that the official website did not release the sound source of Sakamoto's refreshing song, and they also shifted the battlefield to Sony Music's customer service.

"Hello, this is the customer service department of Sony Music. May I help you?" The sweet voice of the customer service sister did not stop the fans who called in for a moment.

After all, most of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans are women. . .

They all asked the customer service sister the same question as quickly as possible.

"When will Kiyoshi Sakamoto's new song be released?"

However, for this question, none of the customer service sisters can answer them.

Because it is the new song of Kiyoshi Sakamoto’s comeback, and it was not released, it was only released exclusively on the [-]th anniversary special of MS. At present, there are only Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself, Uncle Ishida, Big Brother Kitagawa and director Yuichi Yamada, just a few people. You know, the short version of the song will be officially released at midnight the next day.

The official release time is eight o'clock in the morning of the next day.

The process is like this. . .

First, it was first released on the [-]th anniversary special of MS. After attracting attention, the official website released a short version of the sound source at midnight the next day. Finally, after the sound source was announced, the release time of the song "ひまわり" was announced. It was eight o'clock in the morning.

Such a series of actions made full use of the public's curiosity about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's comeback and new songs, so that everyone's attention was focused on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's new songs to achieve the greatest effect of publicity.

In fact, a week before the broadcast of MS, Sony asked its director to shoot a vigorous MV for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's song "ひまわり".

The content of this MV is that Kiyoshi Sakamoto takes Sony's newcomers who have not yet debuted, like Nishino Kana, Shimizu Shota, and a little loli who just signed, Nonen Rena, to the sea and sunflower fields to play together picture.

Of course, in the MV, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is singing with a guitar on his back with a happy face.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the sea is the same color as the sky, and the warm sunshine is the main color in the entire MV.

The MV this time is actually a small foreshadowing that Sony Music has planted before launching newcomers to debut in the next step.

Since 2004, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN band have been newcomers to Sony Music.

And with the massive resources of Sony Music, the three of them, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, are all talented and up-to-date. In just over two years, they have become a force of the new generation that cannot be underestimated in the music scene.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN have both left the newcomer period, the next newcomer to be promoted by Sony Music falls on Kana Nishino who joined the company a year ago.

Over the past year, under the company's vigorous training and his own efforts, Kana Nishino has built a solid foundation in music and has basically reached the standard for debut.

So, Sony thought, since Kiyoshi Sakamoto is going to make an MV for this single, he should bring Kana Nishino by the way, to see if Nishino can take a look at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity, so that Kana Nishino will be somewhat popular before his debut. . .

Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought it was necessary at first, but he suddenly thought, since he is starting to nurse newcomers as a nanny, he should take all of them with him.

As a result, at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's suggestion, in addition to Kana Nishino, Shota Shimizu, who Sony had just signed this year, and Rena Nonen were included in the MV.

After finishing the MV, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also used one day to record the song "ひまわり".

Then, Sony took the sample to the record factory and pressed the record.

In fact, as early as the day before the broadcast of MS, Sony had distributed the 80 copies of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's comeback song "ひまわり" to almost all CD stores in the Tokyo area.

Just waiting for the day after the broadcast of MS, it will officially start selling. . .

This is the return plan that Sony prepared for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and the name is called the "Return, by the way, a wave of milk" plan. . .

. . . . . .

On the MS [-]th anniversary special, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's stunning comeback performance made the public sigh, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is still Kiyoshi Sakamoto, no matter half a year ago or half a year later, his stage performance is still so attractive.

This also makes the public have great expectations for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's single.

Therefore, at midnight the next day, after Sony Music released the short version of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's song "ひまわり", the number of downloads of the sound source skyrocketed instantly, breaking through 100 million within an hour!

It's just a short version of the sound source, which makes the public feel very unsatisfactory. Before fans asked about the release time of the single again, Sony announced the release time of the single again on the official website.

October 10th, eight o'clock in the morning!

In other words, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's comeback single "ひまわり" is only eight hours away from the CD release time.

This is also what made Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans all gearing up and praying in their hearts at the same time, wanting time to pass faster so that they can get the CD of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's new single as soon as possible. . .

And the major music critics, after watching the [-]th anniversary special of MS, and downloaded the short version of the sound source on Sony's official website, after listening to it, they all gave praise to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's comeback single words.

As the number one "Sakamoto Fuki", Shen Mucheng even worked overtime after listening to the song "Himawari" in the early morning, and wrote a music review full of praise.

Such a move also made many music critics who wanted to get some heat from Kiyoshi Sakamoto to work overtime one after another to produce music reviews about the song "ひまわり".

In the public eye, the sun came up.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's third single "ひまわり" is officially released!

It was still that familiar voice, that familiar face, and that familiar Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

And the MV that had been discussed with the advertising company in advance was also timely released on the big screens at the major crowd gathering points.

In an instant, the streets were filled with everywhere, and the MV for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's new song "ひまわり" was playing.

In the MV, under the sun and by the sea, Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a happy face, with two girls and a boy wandering around like a boy, also makes the whole MV look full of youthful atmosphere.

There are also two 89-year-olds, one 90-year-old, and one 93-year-old. Can they not be young? . .

But this is the effect the MV director wants to achieve.

Such a happy and funny MV, coupled with Sakamoto's warm singing voice, also makes office workers and young people who hear this song feel that today is another day full of energy.

This song "ひまわり" is originally a song that is more saliva. The relaxed style and simple guitar accompaniment can make Sakamoto Kiyoshi's singing voice better, which also makes this song get a lot of attention. Loved by all and widely welcomed by the masses.

Fans' panic buying, music critics' unanimous praise, all these seem to remind the singers who released the film recently that the terrible "monster" is back again.

Such a scene has long been expected for Sony Music.

After all, this is Kiyoya Sakamoto!
And on the night of the release day, when the first-day sales of the single came out, the executives of Sony Music and Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself looked calm.

60 on the first day! ! !
Once again, Kiyoshi Sakamoto broke the first-day sales record for his solo single!
And a week later, when the sales of the single in the first week came out, the majority of Sakamoto fans cheered and cheered.

100 million!

That's the first-week sales of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's comeback debut single "ひまわり".

Kiyoshi Sakamoto announced to the Japanese music scene with his still strong appeal and high popularity, as well as his strong single sales exceeding one million in the first week.

He, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, is back! ! !
. . . . . .

Tokyo, Meguro, Sakamoto's house.

"The premiere starts at [-] o'clock, yes, yes, I know! How many times have you said today, I will definitely not be late, don't worry." Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood in front of the full-length mirror in the room, while tidying up with his hands Wearing his own clothes, while holding the mobile phone, he was talking with someone on the phone.

"That's good, because suddenly there is a delayed recording, so the premiere of the movie can only be let you go alone..." The person on the other end of the phone, no accident, is Sakamoto Kiyoshi Manager, Uncle Ishida's voice.

It's just that the uncle's voice on the phone was somewhat low, as if he was in a bad mood. . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked in the mirror, arranging his hair, and at the same time, he did not forget to say a few words of comfort to the uncle on the phone.

"It's all right, don't worry. I'm not a kid anymore, I'll be fine."

"Besides, I'm good at fighting, okay? Generally, a few big guys can't get close to me."

Hearing that Kiyoshi Sakamoto said this on purpose to reassure himself, Uncle Ishida also felt better.

He also followed Kiyoshi Sakamoto's words and said, "Yes, yes, you are the best, KIYO is the best!!"

"Hahaha!!"

Then, the two laughed on the phone.

After hanging up the phone with Uncle Ishida, Kiyoshi Sakamoto focused on his clothes again.

While arranging his tie in front of the mirror, he whispered to himself.

"Tonight is my movie starring debut..."
