Chapter 275 "Low-Produced Artist" Kiyoshi Sakamoto
After hearing Fukuyama Masaharu say, let me come over to see Amuse’s 30th anniversary commemorative Audition, and make a proposal as a special guest by the way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto began to wonder, do you look idle?
If this is the case, then he has nothing to say.

But, the fact is, he is not very idle!

Just a little free time. . .

Moreover, he will go to Osaka to make a movie soon, so how can he be considered free? !
But, why, no matter the outside world doesn't know what kind of person he is in private, or someone who knows him very well, he feels that he is so idle?
As a result, I always invite myself to be a special guest. This is the case with "nicola" magazine, and now, even my own teacher is the same.

This made Sakamoto Kiyoshi a little speechless.

However, he himself didn't know that he was really trying to give people an image of being idle.

Because, since his debut, he is really not as good as other popular artists who debuted at the same time, so he has to work hard. . .

In Japan, there are a lot of artists who debuted in their teens, and some even debuted as child stars at a few years old.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto debuted at the age of 14, which is relatively normal.

However, compared to those child actors who participated in many works in their teens, he is already very lazy.

Just take all his works since his debut three years ago.

After three years of debut, only three solo singles and one solo album have been released; there are also two band singles and one band album.

Participated in a Japanese drama, two movies.

Such data is simply not in line with a hot artist who is in a period of rapid rise.

Compared with Koda Kumiku, who became popular in the same period, the number of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's works is almost completely blown away by Koda Kumiku.

Between 2004 and 2007, Kumi Koda released a formidable sixteen singles, two original albums and two compilation albums! ! !
In this way, the output of Koda Kumi alone can exceed the number of Sakamoto Kiyoshi alone, plus all the works of THE SUN band!
From this point of view, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's works are really too small.

Even in film and television dramas, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has more workload than Kumi Koda who does not act.

However, compared with Tomohisa Yamashita, who acted and sang at the same time, he only participated in one TV series, and the workload of two movies was not enough.

You know, Tomohisa Yamashita has participated in four TV series and one TV series SP in three years, and at the same time, he also took care of the activities of the NEWS group.

It is conceivable that Yamashita Tomohisa's schedule must be full, so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep.

But what about Kiyoshi Sakamoto?
It is to fall asleep leisurely at home. . .

In fact, even compared with his teammate, Ogawa, who is very popular in variety shows, his workload is still very small. . .

Xiao Chuanzhen has already served as a resident guest in variety shows of major TV stations including "Men and Women Pickets", "Cousin Brothers", and recording variety shows has always been the longest time-consuming, often from the afternoon to the first The next morning, it was normal.

However, you must know that Ogawa really doesn't need to go to college anymore, and all his time can be used to develop his acting career.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto is different, he goes to Tokyo University every week to report on classes. . .

This is why, one of the important reasons for Sakamoto Kiyoshi's low production.

However, he would never admit to the accusation that he was "lazy".

If someone says that he has few works and is not very diligent, he will say that compared with his teacher Masaharu Fukuyama, he is simply more productive!

Uh. . .

This is also true.

As a well-known "low-yield artist", Fukuyama Masaharu's works in the past three years are really inferior to Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

In the past three years, Fukuyama Masaharu has only released two singles and one album, and has not participated in any movies or TV series.

In the past three years, Masaharu Fukuyama has basically spent all his time traveling, holding photo exhibitions, and holding concerts.

Especially at Masaharu Fukuyama's "WE'RE BROS. FREEDOM TOUR 2005～风～" concert in 2005, Sakamoto Kiyoshi appeared as a guest at his teacher's venue, which made it a lot hotter.

However, how to put it, comparing Sakamoto Kiyoshi with Fukuyama Masaharu is not a balanced comparison.

Because Masaharu Fukuyama is a shareholder of Amuse, he is considered a management team, and has changed from a wage earner to a small boss, so the degree of freedom has greatly increased, and he is not afraid that his popularity will decline after his debut for 20 years, so the workload A little smaller is normal.

However, it is not normal for Sakamoto Kiyoshi to say this.

You know, in the final analysis, he is just an artist under Sony Music. . .

However, speaking of it, Sony treated him really well, just like he treated his own son.

People from the outside world, as well as people from the company, laughed and said, "Kyoshi Sakamoto is the son of Sony Music."

Judging from Sony's attitude towards Kiyoshi Sakamoto, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Since his debut, he has strongly supported him, and all the best resources have been poured over; in terms of music production, he has basically let him take full responsibility, including the recording and arrangement of himself and THE SUN band;

The most important thing is that Sony did not help him take over the workload that exceeded his physical load, basically letting Kiyoshi Sakamoto choose the work himself.

This kind of treatment basically treats Sakamoto Kiyoshi not as a "commodity" or "wage earner", but as a "baby". . .

I don’t know if it’s because Kiyoshi Sakamoto fainted on the set at the beginning of his debut; however, it was at that time that Sony reduced Kiyoshi Sakamoto’s workload.

However, many times, it doesn't look like there is so much workload inside the company, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto's body, which is only in his teens, is still under a lot of pressure and load.

That's why Kiyoshi Sakamoto applied for a vacation last year.

But yes, I don’t know if it’s the reason why he made his debut at the age of 14 and became an instant hit.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's physical endurance is still not as good as those of the young artists, or he doesn't want to be as tired as a dog. . .

In the early days, Sony still helped him take over a lot of work, which caused his developing body to be hurt, and made Kiyoshi Sakamoto pay attention to his body.

Therefore, in the past few years, he has been exercising regularly, including learning judo, martial arts, Sanda, and boxing, to strengthen his physical strength.

The reason is that I am afraid that my body has not yet fully grown, and because of my busy work schedule, I will leave some irreversible damage.

I also began to consciously ask my manager, Uncle Ishida, to reject some irrelevant announcements, such as some modeling work and catwalk work, as well as invitations to radio programs and invitations to late-night variety shows. He basically declined.

In the words of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, he rested for better work in the future.

However, in this way, the accusation that he was "lazy" was confirmed.

Even Sony and his artist friends thought that he was very idle.

However, Fukuyama Masaharu, as a teacher who often contacts him, does not think so.

He is one of the few people who knows how much Sakamoto Kiyoshi has worked in the past few years.

You must know that Kiyoshi Sakamoto has to take care of his university studies in the past few years!
Don't think that because Kiyoshi Sakamoto has a photographic memory, he can skip class, homework, and exams.

The diploma from Dongda University is not so easy to fool.

In this way, while taking care of his studies, he has been able to participate in so many works, which also proves that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not being lazy.

It's just that there is too little time for him to release more music works and participate in more film and television dramas. . .

However, this fact is only known to the family members who are often with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as well as the teammates Makoto Ogawa, Masaki Chiba, Yui Aragaki, Masaharu Fukuyama and others who often meet.

. . . . . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he meant, and Masaharu Fukuyama, who was sitting opposite him, explained.

"Aren't you planning to go to Osaka to film?"

"Well, yes, I'm studying the script at home now..." The subtext of this sentence is that I don't even have time to read the script, you know, why do you want me to come and watch "Amuse 30th Anniversary Audition "?
Needless to say, Fukuyama Masaharu also knew the meaning revealed in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words.

After all, he and Sakamoto Kiyoshi have known each other for nearly five years, and he probably knows what Sakamoto Kiyoshi is thinking.

So, he continued to speak in a flat tone.

"I just know that you feel a lot of pressure recently because of the awards season and the script, and I know you are very busy, so I let you come over, be a guest, watch the audition, and relax."

"Eh?!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was stunned.

"It's a sneak in from your busy schedule, and it won't take too much of your time, just a day. Besides, I heard that you like being a judge or a special guest..." Fukuyama pointed.

"Uh..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto stopped.

That's right, Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought about what his teacher said when he heard it, as if it was really what Fukuyama said.

He does seem to be a "special guest fanatic", or a "judge addict"?
At the Sony audition meeting, as a judge, he met Kana Nishino who came to participate;

In the first audition of AKB, he was the one who sat on the judging panel as a music producer and met the future "AKB Fudo ACE" Ah-chan again;
"nicola" 10th nicola reader model selection contest, Sakamoto Kiyoshi appeared on the scene as a special guest, and met Nonen Rena;
Not to mention, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as a special guest at the concert of Masaharu Fukuyama and Ayumi Hamasaki, appeared on stage to sing and so on.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto noticed an interesting detail from his memories.

"It seems that every time I am a special guest or a judge, I will meet a future star in the entertainment industry. This is the case for Nishino, A-chan, and the same for Nengnian. Then this time..."

"Will I meet again, the hot new star in the future?"
