Chapter 35 Street Performance
After listening to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's story with his own material, Kenji Kitagawa, who regards Kiyoshi Sakamoto as his own, was also very angry.Although he is also a son of a rich family, he really hates Sony's brainless directors who don't work hard and only serve as BB on the board of directors and get dividends.

When he worked in a subsidiary of Sony before, he knew the faces of these people.

So Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked him to help him say something nice in front of his father.At the same time, he told Naoki Kitagawa about a suggestion made by Kiyoshi Sakamoto. At that time, Kenji Kitagawa patted his chest and promised that this matter would be left to him.

In this way, the plan to save the country with curves can be implemented.

The reason why the directors objected to the band's debut now is because this is a newly signed group. Although there is a newcomer king like Sakamoto Kiyoshi who has made his debut and is a big hit, it doesn't mean that the band has reached The standard of debut, even if you make your debut, you may not be able to succeed.

It doesn't make sense to debut now if you can't meet the standards for debut.That's why they delayed the debut of THE SUN band.

This is a problem, but Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who is very confident in his song and Ogawa Makoto, is speechless about this nonsensical reason.

How can a company know whether a newly launched newcomer will be popular or not. . .

If it can be surmised that it is successful, there is no such situation that all RBs debut hundreds of newcomers a year, and after half a year, less than ten survive, and less than one or two are popular.

Yes, the current THE SUN band has just signed a contract, but it doesn't mean that they don't have the strength to make their debut immediately. After all, in this band, there is still the bug of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

But there is no way, no matter how you say it, now because of the proposal of several directors, the band's debut plan has been temporarily stranded.Sakamoto Kiyoshi could only think of another way to prove that THE SUN band already has the strength to debut.

And this method, Sakamoto Kiyoshi has already let Kitagawa Kenji bring it to the big brother Beichuan who supports him.

Ginza, Sony Building, President's Office.

"Bet? Interesting!"

Naoki Kitagawa originally had a cold-eyed attitude towards this matter, and he also wanted to see Kiyoshi Sakamoto's ability to withstand stress from this stress test, and whether he had the potential to be a representative artist under Sony in the future.

So he also acquiesced in the postponement of his debut this time, and wanted to see what Sakamoto Kiyoshi would do next, but unexpectedly, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's counterattack came so quickly.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked Kitagawa Kenji to bring him a bet in private.

The content of the bet is: THE SUN band that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is in will perform on the streets of Tokyo in the next week, as long as the number of audience in a single show reaches more than 5000, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will win.If there is no game that reaches more than 5000 people, it is a loss.

If they win, THE SUN will debut immediately, and Sony will give them the greatest support and publicity.

If they lose, THE SUN will postpone their debut, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto will help any singer under the company to write two songs unconditionally.

This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's curve-saving plan, referred to as "gambling debut"!
When Kitagawa Naoki saw this "gambling debut" plan proposed by Sakamoto Kiyoshi, he was really surprised, surprised by Sakamoto Kiyoshi's shrewdness in handling things.

Such a bet has the greatest impact on THE SUN.Because losing will delay the debut, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will come up with two original songs.But the benefits of winning are nothing, because if THE SUN debuted, as a rookie under Sony, he would definitely support it, so winning is of little significance.

But this is where Kiyoshi Sakamoto is shrewd.

If we win, how about a few directors who proposed to postpone the debut.That's not realistic at all, because no matter what others say, you are still your boss in name, even if it's just a director with no right to speak.

What about the boss who proposed to take the funds in the bet? It will only make people in the upper echelon of Sony think that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a person who forgets about it when he succeeds in one day, and it will only degrade Kiyoshi Sakamoto. impression on their minds.

In this way, the gain outweighs the loss, Sakamoto Kiyoshi would not be so stupid, that's why he proposed such a bet, and the result was not conducive to his bet.

"Smart kid, but it's very worry-free to have such a talent under his command..." Naoki Kitagawa thought it was time to express his opinion.

The next day, at the daily board meeting, Naoki Kitagawa announced the bet and vaguely supported it verbally at the meeting.But all the directors of the Beichuan faction, who are ghosts and ghosts, all voiced their support, forcing those directors who wanted to give Sakamoto Kiyoshi a blow, agreed to the bet.

After all, as the president, Naoki Kitagawa has already spoken, so what if he doesn't agree.

"Little fox, let me see if your ability to create miracles is the same as your ability to create songs, so powerful!"

When he received the news that the bet had been passed, Kiyoshi Sakamoto breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that he was sure to win.

After all, he is Kiyoshi Sakamoto who is very popular now. A LIVE with 5000 people is basically an impossible task for any band that has not yet debuted.But for THE SUN band with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, it is not too easy.

This is a trick played by Sakamoto Kiyoshi. He is betting, betting on a few directors who want to mess with him. He has no idea of ​​his current influence and the amazing band performance at Sunrise High School!
Because at that time, in order to avoid the leakage of the audio source, Sony took back all the relatively clear video recordings on the Internet, or deleted them.The few directors who just hold shares and receive dividends have no idea that they have already revealed the live strength of THE SUN band. With such strength, coupled with Sakamoto Kiyoshi's popularity, they will never lose.

It’s ridiculous that they thought that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a young rookie who debuted less than a year ago, how much influence he could have. Even if his songs sold well, many people still don’t know him. It’s impossible for a LIVE with 5000 people , which is what they think.

Naoki Kitagawa, who was on the board of directors, did not remind them, because Kiyoshi Sakamoto was someone he valued, and those idle directors were not opponents who supported him.

In this way, under Sakamoto Kiyoshi's suggestion, a gamble that only Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought he could win, began.

In RB, if you want to perform on the street, you must apply to the police station, and you can only perform at the designated location after obtaining permission.

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Ogawa Masaki, and Chiba Masaki had talked, and it was impossible to perform in a crowded place, after all, it would hinder traffic.Therefore, after discussion, it was decided to set the venue for street performances in two places.

Inokashira Park in Tokyo, and around Kashiwa Station in Chiba.

I chose these two places not only because they are relatively tolerant places for road shows, as long as you apply online in advance, you can perform there dignifiedly, and these two places have a lot of space, especially Jing Zhi Head Park, which has an open-air stage dedicated to roadshows, can accommodate up to 8000 people.

For THE SUN, Inokashira Park may be the place to decide victory or defeat.

When it comes to street performances, the famous duo, the grapefruit group, Ai Kawashima, and Hana Uemura, who became famous with the song "Goddess of the Toilet", are all artists from street performances.Especially the grapefruit group, once held a LIVE performance watched by more than 7000 people, which was a sensation.

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto set a goal that only he knew about his street performance this time, which is to exceed 7000 people in a single show of the Yuzu group! !
After a few days of high-intensity joint training, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi decided to start street performances at NO.17.

July NO.17, Saturday, ten o'clock in the morning.

THE SUN band chose this day to hold their first street LIVE performance in Inokashira Park, Tokyo.

Many office workers and students choose to go to amusement parks and parks on weekends.And Tokyo Inokashira Park, as one of the most popular spots for cherry blossom viewing and dating in Tokyo, is an ideal place for leisure and relaxation all year round. The flow of people can be said to be one of the largest in the entire Tokyo park.

At this time, a family having a picnic in the park, and a couple taking photos by the lake, all saw a truck in the park, equipped with some audio and musical equipment, drive to the open-air stage and stopped.

The park visitors who were wondering saw three young men and got out of the car.I started to remove the audio equipment and musical instruments from the car.

RB people are very indifferent when it is not about their own affairs. These gardeners just glanced at it briefly and then looked away. No one wanted to help.

But it was just the simplest musical instruments and audio equipment, not many things. The three young and strong guys quickly moved all the things and placed them on the stage.

That's right, these three people are Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Masaki Ogawa, Masaki Chiba, and all members of the band THE SUN.

After connecting all the devices, Kiyoshi Sakamoto put a microphone in front of him, then picked up the guitar with shoulder straps, looked at Ogawa and Chiba who were ready, and said, "Ahem , HELLO, Mai test (microphone test)."

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who spoke Su, attracted people's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.

After Sakamoto Kiyoshi saw someone noticed, he immediately went on to say, "Mina-san, Ke Niwa (Hi everyone), we are the band TNE SUN, please give me your advice."

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had already taken off his peaked cap, revealing a handsome face.

A couple who were taking pictures, the woman seemed to recognize Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and suddenly screamed.

"what!!!"

The crowd at the scene and Kiyoshi Sakamoto were all stunned, even the girl's boyfriend was taken aback. Who knew that the girl ran to the front of the stage and yelled.

"KIYO-kun!!! It's KIYO-kun!!!"

Looking at the eyes that had been attracted by the girl's voice, and the fan girl in front of him, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that his popularity was still good, and someone recognized him so quickly.

So Sakamoto Kiyoshi approached the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I am the lead singer of THE SUN band, Sakamoto Kiyoshi."

As soon as Kiyoshi Sakamoto's name came out, everyone who heard this sentence at the scene turned their attention to the three people on the stage.

Then, those who knew Kiyoshi Sakamoto, those who knew about Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and those who were curious about Kiyoshi Sakamoto, slowly gathered in front of the stage. Those who ran very fast shouted "Where is Mr. KIYO?" Everyone is a fan of Kiyoshi Sakamoto. . .

Soon, nearly 200 people gathered under the stage. At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto began to signal to the other two in the band that the performance could begin.
