Chapter 261

"Bye-Bye!"

"bye!"

Location: Outside a five-star hotel in Ginza, Tokyo

Characters: Kiyoshi Sakamoto, with his friends

At the entrance of the hotel, Kiyoshi Sakamoto bid farewell to Tomohisa Yamashita, Makoto Ogawa and the others, and went home in Uncle Ishida’s nanny car with Xiaoqiao, Nengnian, and Shota, Kaze Sakamoto. .

Xiaoqiao was planning to go back to Sakamoto's house with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and Nonen was on the way.

However, Xiao Fengfeng insisted on getting in the car and going back together.

Here, there is another story.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto has known Xiaoqiao since 2002. Over the years, he has visited Xiaoqiao every year in Hokkaido.

Every time Kiyoshi Sakamoto went to Hokkaido to visit Xiaoqiao, he always stayed at Hashimoto's house, and when Xiaoqiao came to Tokyo to play, he basically lived at Sakamoto's house.

Every time Xiaoqiao went to Beijing, Sakamoto Kiyoshi would take her around to play and eat delicious food.

This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto's younger brother, Xiao Fengfeng, who has been monopolizing Nichan's doting all this time, become jealous. . .

He began to fear that his elder brother would be robbed by that little sister who was one year older than him.

He felt that he had to take action and do something so that his brother would not be snatched away by that little sister Huya from Hokkaido.

Therefore, he seized every opportunity to prevent Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Xiaoqiao from having too many opportunities to contact each other.

However, he is just playing a little tricky.

Instead of going back with his parents, he climbed into Kiyoshi Sakamoto's nanny car, just to monitor Xiaoqiao and see if he took the opportunity to gain favorability in front of his brother again.

This made Sakamoto Kiyoshi confused.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who didn't know that his brother was thinking too much, didn't talk too much with Xiaoqiao in the car.

Because, the two little girls who are about the same age have already become very good friends, and they haven't stopped since they got in the car.

Looking at the two lolis who had been chatting, Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't speak at all, so he sat in front and chatted with Xiao Fengfeng.

And Xiao Fengfeng, who "succeeded in tricks", also happily talked with his brother about his feelings about watching the concert tonight. . .

There was an instant noise in the car.

Uncle Ishida, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also sighed when he saw the four boys and girls from the rearview mirror.

"It's nice to be young..."

. . . . . .

the next day.

While the media was still engrossed in last night's concert, Sony's newcomer singer, Kana Nishino, made her official debut under the spotlight of all eyes!

The debut single "そばにいるね" is written by the little prince of Sony, the national male god, and two-time record award winner Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who wrote the lyrics, composed music, and acted as the producer.

What is even surprising is that Sakamoto Kiyoshi also served as the featuring in this song.

The audience who had already heard this song last night were all overwhelmed by this addictive rhythm and blues song, and there was also Kiyoshi Sakamoto's first featuring, which made the fans all go to Tokyo Big record store, run away.

Soon, under the strong enthusiasm of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans, the first batch of [-] records was swept away on the first day.

"Excuse me, do you still have "そばにいるね" by Kana Nishino and Kiyoshi Sakamoto?"

This is the question every fan who couldn't buy a record on the first day asked the store clerk as soon as he walked in the door the next day.

It can be seen that this song has been spread through the concert, coupled with the addition of the well-known name Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it has become a hot song that has been gaining momentum recently, and it is sold out.

However, Sony was relatively confident about the name Kiyoshi Sakamoto, so when they suppressed this single, they suppressed [-] copies in advance.

Since the first batch of pressed records were sold out, it doesn't matter, another [-] copies will be made up.

Fans can't buy this single, I lose!

Sony, that's how willful it is. . .

Not only continued to replenish the major record stores, Sony also contacted major shopping malls and outdoor large-scale display screens, so that the MV of this song by Kana Nishino was constantly bombarded. Tokyo, an international metropolis with more than 1000 million people, city.

And the name Nishino Kana has also begun to be known to the public.

Since his official debut on February 2th with the single "そばにいるね", until February 6th, he went to MS with Kiyoshi Sakamoto to promote his songs.

In just a few days, with the help of Sony and Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Nishino Kana changed from the title of "Sony newcomer" and "Sakamoto Kiyoshi junior sister" to the "sweet singer" in the media.

The effect of being on MS is very obvious, which makes Nishino Kana become a new singer who attracts the attention of the public, and the soaring popularity is also directly reflected in the sales of records.

Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand!

When the record sales came out in the first week, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who accompanied Nishino Kana to listen to the sales volume in the company, heard the number "15!" Before he had time to react, he was excited by Nishino Kana. Hugged hard!

"Yay! That's great!!!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was also infected by this flushed and excited young lady.

Also hugging Miss Nishino together, bouncing around in place.

"These two are old and not young, why are they still so childish..."

The childish behavior of the two older children made Uncle Ishida, who was holding the sales table, complained speechlessly.

. . .

Nishino Kana's excitement was not entirely unreasonable.

A few years ago, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto debuted, the Japanese record market had already started to decline.

In recent years, although there is Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has sold millions of singles and albums and dominates all Oricon charts every year, but more and more are the singles released by various singers. And the album CD, are not sold well.

This phenomenon is a situation caused by the rolling tide of the times.

With the rise of music downloads, the sales of physical records are bound to decline rapidly.

Just like the era of million-selling singers walking everywhere in the 90s, it is gone forever.

But now in 2007, million-selling singles or million-selling albums are hard to come by.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto is precisely because of the miracle of selling more than one million copies of every single and album that he released under the tide of the times, so quickly became a famous singer in three years. The little king of music.

Don't underestimate the name "Little Heavenly King". Although there is a word "small" in front of it, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has already entered the ranks of singers at the level of heavenly kings.

The reason why the word "small" is added is only because Kiyoshi Sakamoto is young and senior.

However, in the declining Japanese record market, 15 records can be sold in the first week, which is enough for Sony and Nishino Kana to celebrate with champagne.

You know, YUI (Yoshioka Yui), who is from the same record company as Nishino Kana and joined Sony at the same time, became famous with "Song of the Sun", released the single "Rolling star" in mid-January. Only 1 copies were sold. . .

Also releasing new songs in mid-January are the "migrant labor group" EXILE and the national band GLAY, and the two have only sold nearly 1+ copies so far. . .

Compared with these seniors, Kana Nishino's debut performance can be described as amazing.

This is why, the media have referred to Nishino Kana as the "sweet singer".

Such a result is also Sony Music's best-selling rookie in recent years, except for Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN band.

In an instant, the entire music world was brainwashed by this song "そばにいるね" by Kana Nishino.

On the street, finally, it is no longer the songs of Sakamoto Kiyoshi or THE SUN, this time, this addictive song by Nishino Kana is played instead.

One more thing worth mentioning.

Compared with Kana Nishino in her previous life, she has received help from Kiyoshi Sakamoto and strong support from Sony in this life. She is no longer a "mobile phone singer" who only relies on distribution to become popular.

Kana Nishino in her previous life was a very standard singer who was not known for traditional CD sales.

Most of the audience of her songs are young women, so in terms of song sales, besides CDs, distribution on the Internet is the main sales channel.

In this regard, it can be said that she is the singer who is most in line with the European and American pop music industry among Sony, except Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

And this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto participated in the production, and also came up with a divine song like "そばにいるね", which made Nishino Kana hit all sides in terms of physical record sales and online distribution as soon as he made his debut. Avoid the embarrassment of the previous life.

Kana Nishino in her previous life, although her debut song "I" ranked in the top ten on the online music chart.

However, her debut single was ranked 155th on the Oricon chart, where she had to pull down a dozen times to see her name, and her sales volume was too low to say.

481 sheets. . .

But now, compared to the embarrassing sales in the previous life, selling 15 copies in the first week, and ranking first in the iTunes list, is really much better.

All of this, it can be said, is the credit of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

And this is also the general view of professionals in the music world.

"Although the quality of the song "そばにいるね" is also an excellent work, it is thanks to Sakamoto Kiyoshi for such an achievement."

"Because of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's concert, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's featuring, and even Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity and fame..."

"Actually, it can be summed up in one sentence, the reason why Kana Nishino became so popular."

"That is, because behind her are Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Sony!"

This is a loyal fan of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, music critic Makoto Kamiki, when he was interviewed by the media, he gave his answer on how Kana Nishino became a new generation of singer as soon as he made his debut.

This made the music world once again send a voice of praise to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the driving force behind the scenes this time.

However, at this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly disappeared from the entire entertainment world.

Looking at Kana Nishino who was on TV alone to promote the show, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.

"Sakamoto Kiyoshi, where did you go?"
