Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 239 Proposals
"Cooperation?"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's tone was full of surprise.

"That's right, YOU should know Arashi, right?" Mr. Kitagawa asked.

"I know, but I just met a few times on Yinban and said hello." Sakamoto Kiyoshi means "knowledge means knowing, but not familiar."

And Mr. Kitagawa also knew about it. After all, no one under Johnny's group dared to associate with Sakamoto Kiyoshi due to the previous ban.

Even Yamashita Tomohisa didn't dare to risk the world's displeasure by going too deep with Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

As for Lan, it was even more impossible.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but the "opponent" who defeated them, how could they associate with him. . .

In this way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Johnny's Office only have one Tomohisa Yamashita who has acted together, except for a little friendship, there is basically no relationship.

Even Kimura, whom he just met, can be regarded as Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "acquaintance" in Johnny's. . .

However, this is no problem for Mr. Kitagawa.

As long as he speaks, the people in Genesis will rush to make friends with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"How about this, after a while, Lan has also received an invitation for SUPER LIVE, so, YOU and Lan will cooperate and hold a special stage together!"

"Eh?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at Mr. Kitagawa inexplicably, not knowing what this big Johnny was thinking.

Have him work with Lan on a special stage?
What is this?Do you smile away all grievances?
The unpredictable Kitagawa made Kiyoshi Sakamoto think about this seemingly nonsensical proposal.

Cooperation is not impossible.

But, first of all, you need to know what kind of benefits this cooperation can bring to Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Johnny.

For Kiyoshi Sakamoto, if he cooperates with Johnny's group Arashi, it will definitely surprise the entertainment industry.

Because, this means that Johnny no longer targeted Sakamoto Kiyoshi, but started to communicate with him, and even made friends with him.

If this is the case, the public will also know that Sakamoto Kiyoshi has reconciled with Johnny.

For Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as long as Johnny no longer targeted him, it would be fine. What's more, after making friends with Johnny, it would be very helpful for him to appear in the programs of the five major TV stations.

After all, Johnny has a close relationship with the five major TV stations.

As long as Johnny doesn't do some tricks behind the scenes, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's announcements on the five major TV stations will definitely increase a lot.

This is also of great benefit to his career development.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also doesn't want to have a bad relationship with a bigwig in the entertainment industry like Johnny, so the cooperation is not unacceptable to Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

On the other hand, for Johnny, there are two advantages.

One is that in the future, it is possible to avoid the song release period of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the little king of the music world, so that the group under Sakamoto Kiyoshi will not be reduced to cannon fodder under the influence of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

The second is that in the future, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity and appeal can be used to let the groups under his banner gain popularity.

After all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's current status in the music scene is already the singer with the most market appeal since the decline of the record market.

If you can take a look at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity, it will also be of great help to the record sales of Johnny's groups.

Therefore, Kitagawa, who was dissatisfied with Arashi's current development status, thought of taking advantage of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's huge popularity and appeal to milk Arashi.

Such a proposal was also made.

When it comes to Lan, she is really full of snot and tears.

The total sales of the first debut single reached as much as 90, but in 1999, when the sales of millions were everywhere, and the singers were rampant, the final sales only ranked 23rd in the annual sales list.

Since then, under the background of the decline of the record market, the sales of Lan's singles have been falling, either at the beginning of 10,000+, or at the beginning of 20. The terrible sales and weak stamina also made Johnny feel very speechless . . .

After all, over the years, I don't know how many resources have been invested in Lan.

Titled variety shows, TV dramas, etc., are so numerous that NEWS, another group under Johnny's, is so envious.

However, it is still useless, the single sales are still the same, only the first week can explode, except for the weekly crown, it will start to decline in the second week, and the difference between the final sales and the first week sales is as much as Less than [-], one can imagine how insufficient Lan's stamina is.

In recent years, none of Lan's singles has sold more than 50 copies. . .

The only one that sold more than 50 copies was a year and a half ago, with the help of the "east wind" due to the head-to-head confrontation with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it was able to barely sell 50 copies. . .

And that time, in the final analysis, it was just relying on Sakamoto Kiyoshi's topicality and popularity to achieve that achievement.

This is why Kitagawa chose Arashi to work with Sakamoto Kiyoshi instead of Kat-Tun.

Kat-Tun's debut single broke one million, and the next few singles all broke through hundreds of thousands of copies. It doesn't take Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity to become popular.

What's more, there is a precedent for using Kiyoshi Sakamoto's enthusiasm to make singles sell well. Mr. Kitagawa, who knows the taste of the marrow, also wants to repeat the same trick, and once again uses Kiyoshi Sakamoto to pull Lan.

. . .

Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto contemplating, Mr. Kitagawa said the same thing.

"You don't need to reply so quickly. I will ask someone to send this cooperation invitation to Sony. After you think about it, just give me an answer. After all, this is very beneficial to both of us. "

Hearing Mr. Kitagawa's words, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also felt that it was necessary to go back and discuss with Mr. Beichuan.

So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was ready to say goodbye.

"Wait a minute, it happens that Lan and the others are in the practice room, I'll have someone take you there, see you before leaving."

Suddenly, Kitagawa stopped Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and proposed to Kiyoshi Sakamoto to meet Lan in the past.

Naturally, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had everything he needed to do, anyway, he just went to meet up and say hello. . .

After leaving the president's office, Kiyoshi Sakamoto came to Arashi's exclusive practice room under the leadership of a minister, and met Arashi Goko again.

Wuzi, who was practicing, looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto in astonishment when he saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto walking in, not knowing why he appeared here.

After being introduced by the minister next to him, Lanwu knew that Sakamoto Kiyoshi was called by Mr. Kitagawa to play. . .

Before they had time to wait for them, they tried to figure out the thoughts of Mr. Kitagawa and Sakamoto Kiyoshi. Sakamoto Kiyoshi said a few polite words to them and left.

They didn't get any information from Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and after Kiyoshi Sakamoto left, the five sons were also in the practice room, chatting about Kiyoshi Sakamoto who came out of nowhere.

However, no matter what they think, it is impossible to know that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's visit to Johnny's this time is actually the first step to break the ice between him and Johnny's.

It is even more impossible to know that Mr. Kitagawa actually proposed such a cooperation proposal.

. . . . . .

After returning to Sony, Kiyoshi Sakamoto told Naoki Kitagawa about the trip to Johnny's.

As for Kitagawa's proposal, Kitagawa Naoki was also very interested.

After a meeting and discussion, Sony's top executives all agreed that this is the best time to reconcile with Johnny's. If they cooperate, the two companies that were originally hostile can deepen their relationship with each other, and it can also raise topics. He Le Why not?

In the end, with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's agreement, Sony reached an agreement with Johnny's, and decided to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Arashi collaborate on a special stage at the next SUPER LIVE.

After discussions between the two parties, the final stage of cooperation is that Kiyoshi Sakamoto wrote a song, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Arashi formed a limited group to sing this song on the stage of SUPER LIVE.

Even the name of the limited group has been discussed, it is called "ARASHIYO"

That is, Arashi's Roman sound "ARASHI" plus the "YO" in the Roman sound "KIYO" after Sakamoto Kiyoshi's Qing character, combined.

A very casual name. . .

Such a name also made Kiyoshi Sakamoto complain.

"With such a name, the audience really won't regard us as a funny group???"

The name is still second, the most important thing is that Sakamoto Kiyoshi will write a song suitable for Lan, and he will dance with the five of Lan together!
When he heard the news, he ran to Big Boss Beichuan's office with a face full of shock and asked what happened.

After all, he has never learned to dance, and he has no foundation at all.

However, Mr. Beichuan just said to him with a suppressed smile, "I think you will be very popular if you dance, so I made my own initiative and agreed to Johnny's request."

"But, I don't have any foundation in dancing!"

"It's okay, just go and learn. I really believe in your learning ability. This little difficulty will not trouble you."

In the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was defeated by Naoki Kitagawa's expression of "I like you very much".

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who walked out of the president's office with a gloomy face, kept complaining in his heart about the president who "believes too much in himself".

"Your sister! You are still very popular, but you are still a little difficult... It's not that you want to learn, it's easy for you to say..."

So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who didn't have any dance foundation, started the hellish dance training.

As for the song, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the trouble out of it, and directly brought out the best song he had heard from Lan in his previous life, "Kimi がいるから" (Because of You).

Thanks to his improvement in musical ability over the years, his ability to copy songs from his previous life has also become more proficient.

After all, it is only possible to have deep musical literacy and rich musical strength to rewrite the songs that you have heard in the previous life.

It doesn't mean to take it out, just take it out.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's brain in his previous life was not a computer, and he couldn't record the music score and lyrics of the song word by word in his brain. Just let him pull the file out like manipulating a computer, just plug in a USB flash drive and pull it out. . .

Although his brain is in this state now because of the ability of photographic memory, but this is him after rebirth, not the him in his previous life. . .

so.

"Plagiarism is also a technical job!!!"
