Chapter 392 How can there be such a handsome hooligan?
In the early hours of the night, Sony Music's official website, unsurprisingly, was blown up by a huge amount of traffic.

You know, Sony Music's server has strengthened the construction of the network and the number of servers after it was exploded by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans last time.

However it was of no use.

What should be exploded is still exploded.

A large number of fans who tried to listen to Sakamoto's fresh album, who could not log in, all called and complained to Sony Music. The familiar situation was staged again.

However, this time, Hashimoto Nanami also joined the army of fans who called to complain. . .

However, anyway, Sony Music is also a subsidiary of Sony Group, and there are also many talents in IT networks.

Although it was unbelievable for the fact that it was exploded again, it still responded quickly.

After emergency repairs, the server was offloaded in a short period of time, allowing Sony Music's official website to continue to be accessed.

It has to be said that in just 1 minute, the number of visits exceeded a hundred times the usual amount, and while Sony was caught off guard, he couldn't help sighing, "Sure enough, it's Kiyoshi Sakamoto!"

The popularity has already caught up with the two male gods of the nation, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and his huge influence among young people cannot be underestimated.

This new album, because it is Sakamoto Kiyoshi's personal work that has been released again after a long time.

Therefore, in order to give back to fans and fans for their continuous support and companionship, Kiyoshi Sakamoto made an exception and pre-sold this album for the first time.

Although Sony and Sakamoto Kiyoshi himself are very confident in the sales of the album.

But it's a test of popularity.

Test whether Kiyoshi Sakamoto's personal popularity will decline after leaving THE SUN.

Or is it more popular?
This is something Sony and Kiyoshi Sakamoto are very interested in.

Therefore, this album had a wave of pre-sales a week before the album was released.

However, the pre-sale sales figures on the first day made Sony laugh from ear to ear.

At the same time, the public has fully realized that a large part of THE SUN's success is due to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

The pre-sale sales on the first day were . . .

65 copies! ! !

With only one day of pre-sale sales, it has almost locked in the top ten of the 2008 Oricon album list!
You know, last year's Oricon Albums Annual Ranking No.10 was precisely Sakamoto Kiyoshi's fellow apprentice, YUI's "CAN'T BUY MY LOVE", with annual sales of only 64 copies. . .

In other words, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's pre-sale sales in one day are equivalent to the annual sales of last year's popular female singer YUI!
This terrifying amount of pre-sales directly shocked the entire Japanese music scene. Major music critics and music magazines all shouted "Wolf is coming!"

In order to prevent their singers from becoming cannon fodder, the major record companies have moved back the release dates of their singers.

The pre-sale of 65 is not the final result of the pre-sale period.

Although Japan's record sales are generally short-term sales, this is inevitable even for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, THE SUN, or the future double-A group, Arashi and AKB.

It is not surprising that the sales volume on the first day is amazing, the sales volume is [-]% off on the second day, and [-]% off on the third day.

However, even in the pre-sale on the second day, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans remained enthusiastic and contributed 40 pre-sale sales!
This directly helped Kiyoshi Sakamoto create a new music record.

The fastest solo album with a pre-sale sales of over one million copies!

And when the one-week pre-sale period ended, the pre-sale sales of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's second solo album, "Sakura Season" had reached 150 million! ! !
If nothing else, on the first day of the album release, all pre-order albums will be shipped
if that's the case
In this way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album is almost locked in the 2008 Oricon album annual list champion.

You know, it was THE SUN's second band album "Zero in the Morning" that won the top spot in the album chart last year, with a sales figure of 170 million copies!
And now, Kiyoshi Sakamoto released his solo album, and in just one week of pre-sale period, it is almost close to the album sales of THE SUN for several months.

This is why, the public believes that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the biggest factor in the success of THE SUN.

And because of the explosive sales this time, many media gave Kiyoshi Sakamoto a nickname.

Sales rogue!
It means that as soon as he and THE SUN released a new song, they swept all kinds of praise titles on the sales charts.

When the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in 2008, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was coming!

. . . . . .

3 month 27 number.

"Hahaha, you have a new nickname." Yui Aragaki held a piece of entertainment news, and laughed at Sakamoto Kiyoshi in a very disfigured manner, "Sales rogue?! Haha, you are a big rogue!"

This is in Yui Aragaki's apartment.

The people present were not only Yui Aragaki, who couldn't straighten his waist with laughter, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had a black line on his face, Mochi, who was also a member of the "Acting Club", and a Nengnian dog who shook his head. . .

"Qing, I have to say that your nickname is cooler than your previous nicknames of "Sony Little Prince" and "National Boy God"!" As he spoke, Masami Nagasawa felt that she The talk was nonsense, and Yui Aragaki couldn't hold back and laughed together.

"Hahaha..."

"It's so funny..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the two "bad friends" speechlessly and muttered.

Then, he saw Nengen Rena who was squinting her eyes and staring blankly at him.

Here's another normal kid.

However, he found that Neng Nian seemed to have been staring at his face for a long time, which made him ask, "What's the matter? Is there a flower on my face?"

"No." Nengnian Reina replied obediently.

"I was just thinking, senior, you are so handsome, how could you be called a "rogue" by others?" Nengnian Lingna asked with a puzzled face, the question she had been thinking about just now.

"After all, how can there be such a handsome hooligan..."

"Uh..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto was confused.

He had no idea what the structure of this Nengnian Lingna's brain circuit was. . .

"Hahaha!!!"

This sentence has a big brain hole, but at the same time it seems to be very reasonable. The truth made Karma and Majiang, who were laughing so hard that they were about to stop, come back again.

"Oh, my stomach... my stomach hurts from laughing..."

Sakamoto clearly saw a few tears running away playfully from the corners of the eyes of the two women. . .

Those are not tears of sadness, but tears of laughing and crying.

This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto want to cry.

"My God, please accept Neng Nian, a fourth-dimensional girl!!!"

. . .

When the two girls were almost laughing, Kiyoshi Sakamoto presided over the scene with a helpless face.

"Hey, hey, this is here to make up lessons for our young children's shoes, not to make you laugh at me..."

And why did the trio of acting clubs get together?

In fact, it was for Niannian Rena.

Just last month, Kiyoshi Sakamoto recommended Rena Nonen to Masaharu Fukuyama when he went to Masaharu Fukuyama to talk about a collaboration single.

That is, in the upcoming filming of "The Devotion of Suspect X", the heroine's daughter "Misato Hanaoka" will play the role.

After negotiating with Sony and the recommendation of Masaharu Fukuyama, Rena Nonen successfully won this crucial role.

Participating in an important supporting role in a film for the first time, this is an important step in Nengnian Rena's career as an actress.

Even after Nengnian Linnai joined Sony, she was assigned a professional acting teacher to teach her.

Coupled with Nengnian Rena's own acting talent, she is more than capable of playing this role that does not require much acting skills.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was a little worried, still felt that this step was very important.

Moreover, he knew that the film "The Devotion of Suspect X" was a topical film that received both box office and word of mouth.

If Neng Nian can rely on his excellent acting skills in this film that is destined to be a hit, and show his acting skills that do not match his pure appearance, he will definitely become the target of the mass media and get the attention of film supervisors. In that case, for Nengnian Rena's next career as an actor will inevitably be smoother.

This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto take care.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Rena Nonen can rely on this role and get attention, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who is releasing a new album, specially called the same girl, who is already one step ahead in acting club Shuangmei, Aragaki Yui and Chang Masami Sawa, come to teach Rena Nonen.

After all, "The Devotion of Suspect X" is about to start filming, so it's okay to grind your guns before the battle. . .

However, while the three of them were making up lessons for Rena Nengnian, something unexpected to Kiyoshi Sakamoto happened.

. . . . . .

Tokyo.

Universal Music.

An important meeting called "Stop Kiyoshi Sakamoto" is being held.

The initiator of this meeting was none other than Kenji Kitano, the president of Universal Music who has been doing all kinds of tricks behind his back!
I saw that in the spacious meeting room, the heads of various departments of Universal Music were sitting.

Director of the distribution department, director of the publicity department, and artist director. . .

And it was Kenji Kitano who sat on the main seat.

"The theme of this meeting is to discuss how to stop Sony's Kiyoshi Sakamoto from sweeping the music world!" Standing beside the projection screen was Kenji Kitano's megaphone, president secretary Kuroda.

"As you can see, in the last three years, Sony's Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN have become the annual sales champions. Not only that, but all the singers who released films at the same time were taken away by their strong sales. The public's attention has led to dismal sales." This confidant who was promoted by Kenji Kitano after taking office pointed to the big screen of the projector and said, "Among them are several groups of singers under our Universal Group... .”

"Because of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, our market share in recent years has been continuously seized. In the past three years, it has been lower than that of Sony. The economic benefits lost have exceeded billions!"

"Universal and Sony are both competitors, so we can no longer be suppressed by the other party like this!"

"For this reason, we must prevent Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album from selling again!"
