Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 361

Since the release date of Yui Aragaki's album has been set for the beginning of December, even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto joins the male lead of the MV, this MV cannot go to Okinawa, Kyushu, or even Even Tokyo can't go out to shoot.

Therefore, in order to finish shooting this MV as quickly as possible, Warner set the shooting location in Tokyo.

During the preparation of the MV crew, the title song of Yui Aragaki's album was also finalized.

Warner originally planned to use the song "メモリーズ" as the title song, but now that Kiyoshi Sakamoto has joined, after careful consideration, Warner still feels that setting "Heavenly Days" from the episode of "Love in the Sky" as the title song cause a greater effect.

After all, this is the second cooperation between "Hiroki" and "Meijia" after the cooperation of "Love Space", which will inevitably cause a sensation among fans and the attention of the public.

During this period when "Love in the Sky" continues to ferment, any news about "Love in the Sky", or Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Aragaki Yui, may attract widespread attention, let alone Aragaki Yui's debut as a singer?
Therefore, with the intention of attracting attention, Warner will set "heavenly days" as the title song.

. . .

11 month 25 number.

Tokyo, Chiyoda Ward, in a studio.

"OK, this one is over!"

"It's done!!!"

With the shout of the MV supervisor, the "heavenly days" MV, which lasted only five days, completed all the shooting tasks!
There were not too many hugs and cheers, nor did they raise their arms high and shout "Yo Ho! It's finally finished". Both the male and female protagonists of the MV, as well as the staff of the MV shooting, all looked calm.

There is no way to do this, it has only been a few days from the start of filming to the completion of the filming. . .

Five days passed in a flash, so naturally there was not much reluctance or excitement.

The staff just felt that they had completed another ordinary job. . .

As for the MV protagonists Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki, both are professional actors, they have experienced shooting time calculated in months, so naturally they have no worries about the shooting tasks of the past few days.

The MV shooting this time is just a memory for the two of them to act together again. . .

After the MV is shot, the entire album basically enters the stage of post-production.

Send the samples to the record factory for pressing, packaging and distribution. . .

These matters are not related to Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

After filming the MV, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to his leisurely life as a salted fish.

Sometimes I invite Ogawa Masaki, Chiba Masaki, Yamashita Tomohisa, Matsuyama Kenichi and other good friends to go to the game together. . .

Although most of the time, they can't meet people.

After all, at the end of the year, Yamashita Tomohisa, Ogawa Makoto and others are too active to rest, so they are not as leisurely as Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

In order to stay at home with salted fish, Kiyoshi Sakamoto resolutely turned down invitations to several shows, as well as interviewed by magazines, "The Ultimate Salted Fish King"!
Deeply influenced by Fukuyama Masaharu, for him, relaxation is the best state.

He enjoys it very much. Sometimes he reads comics and movies at home; sometimes he disguises himself and goes out shopping;

In fact, it is lazy. . .

. . .

However, speaking of Nengnian Rena, this cute creature's love for the band is destined to be unchangeable by time or space.

The original Nengnian Rena, when she was in middle school, saw the local uncles forming a band with her friends and thought it was cool, so she pestered the uncles to learn guitar and formed a band by herself.

Nengnian also begged his mother to buy a guitar. Since it was only [-] yen, which was very cheap, he named it "Anzi".

However, that was in a previous life.

And in this life where Sakamoto Kiyoshi existed, because of the effect caused by Sakamoto Kiyoshi's butterfly, Nonen Rena did not continue her junior high school in Hyogo Prefecture, but went to Beijing to study three years earlier.

This also led to the fact that Neng Nian and her friends didn't see those cool local uncles, so there was no way to talk about forming a band or buying a guitar.

However, what a person likes comes from the heart, regardless of time and place.

People who like music, no matter where they are, will devote themselves to the road of music.

Just like those musicians who tirelessly pursue their dreams, Nengnian Rena's interest in the band is still expressed in different places and characters.

And that key person is Sakamoto Kiyoshi!

After joining Sony, after getting to know Sakamoto Kiyoshi, after seeing THE SUN's concert, she was immediately aroused to love the band by Sakamoto Kiyoshi who performed passionately on the stage.

The subsequent development is also surprisingly similar to the history of the previous life.

Nengnian Rena still told her mother that she wanted to buy a guitar.

And Nengnian's mother agreed.

Moreover, the price of that guitar is still 3 yuan!
Because of this, Nengnian Rena still named the guitar "Anzi". . .

However, this time, it was not her local uncles in Hyogo who taught her to learn the guitar, but a musical genius who was no older than her age and proficient in various musical instruments, Kiyoshi Sakamoto!

When Sakamoto Kiyoshi saw Rena Nonen with a grinning face and a guitar in his arms, standing in front of him and saying that he wanted to learn guitar, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's identity inevitably increased.

Nonen Rena's senior at the same school, Nonen Rena's tutor, and now there is another one, Nonen Rena's guitar teacher. . .

This is why, while Kiyoshi Sakamoto taught his younger brother how to play the guitar, he also brought his schoolgirl, Rena Nonen.

And what made Kiyoshi Sakamoto dumbfounded was that Rena Nonen urged Kaze Sakamoto to form a band together like Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the others.

Near Zhu Zhechi, near the ink is black.

Rena Nonen was influenced by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and her enthusiasm for the band was slowly revealed.

. . . . . .

Time is like this, passing by little by little. . .

In 2007, it finally came to an end.

On December 12th, Yui Aragaki, who became popular because of "Love in the Sky", released her first solo album "そら" (sky) officially!

Thanks to the pure love effect of "Love in the Sky" and the MV bonus joined by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Yui Aragaki, who debuted as a singer, sold more than 9 copies of her first album in the first week!
He even won the weekly champion of Oricon!

This is not bad news for Yui Aragaki, who is playing with tickets.

Even Warner was taken aback. It was completely unexpected that she sold more than 9 copies of her debut album without a single promotion.

Such a result can almost compare to the strength of Kiyoshi Sakamoto when he debuted!
However, most of the credit for all of this must be attributed to the hit screening of "Love in the Sky". . .

You know, as of the day when Yui Aragaki's album was released, "Love in the Sky", which was released for four and a half weeks, still topped the weekly box office list with a weekend box office of 6 million!

The four-week box office results of 7 million, 8 million, 6 million, and 6 million also made "Love Space" the champion of the weekly box office list for four consecutive weeks.

This is 2007, in addition to Kimura Takuya's "Legal Hero" which won the championship for five consecutive weeks, it is another film that surpassed three consecutive championships!
With a cumulative box office of 27 billion, it has attracted more than 200 million people to watch in theaters!

It is conceivable that under such a huge influence, as the heroine Yui Aragaki, the debut album released by fans is also reasonable under the mentality of loving the house and black. . .

Even if some of the 200 million people who have seen the film buy her album, it will directly make Yui Aragaki's album the No. [-] on Oricon's weekly chart. . .

However, in sharp contrast to it, we have to mention AKB48, a female idol group with Akimoto Yasushi as the chief producer and Sakamoto Kiyoshi as the music producer.

AKB48 released their sixth single on October 10, "Yuyang を见ているか?".

However, sales were disastrous.

As of December, within a month, only 12 copies were sold. . .

It also created an embarrassing record: the lowest-selling single since AKB's debut.

The sales of singles by a professional female idol group are much lower than that of Yui Aragaki, who is acting and singing and playing for tickets. . .

This undoubtedly made the public have to lament that popularity, although invisible, is very important. . .

Such embarrassing results made AKS and Akimoto Yasushi, who have been struggling to support, also have a headache.

Obviously, since his debut, he has been popular for a while with the help of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's popularity. . .

However, starting from the second single, the sales volume of each single has become less and less.

Although the AKB Theater is full of otaku from all over the country every day, the sound of crazily calling always fills the eighth floor of the Don Quixote Building. . .

However, that's just a drop in the bucket.

Increasingly large staffing represents increasing operating expenses.

Not selling more records means not having more income, which means making ends meet.

The girls of AKB haven't been paid for a long time. . .

At this time, it may be a critical moment for the new generation of girl groups AKS and AKB48 to face a crisis.

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew nothing about all this. . .

It wasn't until a few months later, when that incident happened, that he realized that he seemed to have missed the best time to lend a helping hand to AKB. . .

. . . . . .

Yui Aragaki's journey as a singer has been smooth from the beginning.

First, there was the influence of the movie "Love in the Sky", and then there was the addition of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's MV actor, so that her debut album easily sold [-] copies within two weeks!

Not only that, under such circumstances, Warner Records is also planning to hold a singer debut event at Budokan for Yui Aragaki!
Moreover, Warner also invited a "special guest" for Yui Aragaki. . .
