Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 403
Sitting in the nanny car, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had just returned to Tokyo not long ago, made two beeps on his phone.

The text message is coming.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto took out his mobile phone suspiciously, opened it, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.

I saw that the sender of the text message was Mai Shiraishi who had just said goodbye not long ago.

"Bon Voyage."

There were only a few simple words, but it made Kiyoshi Sakamoto's mood involuntarily happy.

It seems that in just one day, he still carved a faint trace in Mai Shiraishi's heart. . .

. . .

After filming the first issue of "The Sun That Comes Suddenly", Kiyoshi Sakamoto plunged into the duel with Universal Music once again.

However, this time the opponents have changed from one-on-three to one-on-one.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto VS GReeeeN!

. . . . . .

April 4 is the first day of the weekend, Saturday.

eight pm.

Just when the hard-working office workers can finally take a breather from the busy work and the insults from their bosses.

You can also take the remote control from your wife, who is the controller of your own TV, and watch a TV series.

At this time, TBS' Tuba drama, adapted from the famous hot-blooded comic "ROOKIES", officially premiered!

This drama tells the story of the passionate teacher Koichi Kawato, who transforms the bad students in his high school into baseball-loving teenagers, and strives for the goal of Koshien.

It can be said that it is no different from "Hot-Blooded High School", focusing on hot-blooded men's drama.

It's just that the final goal of "Hot Blood High School" is the apex of Lily of the Valley; while in "ROOKIES", the goal is only Koshien.

The leading actor who plays the role of the hot-blooded teacher is Sato Ryuta, who rose to prominence in 2000 with the well-received Japanese drama "Ikebukuro West Exit Park".

As a passionate baseball group drama, many handsome actors are also indispensable.

The same goes for this show.

Hayato Ichihara, the leading actor of "All About Lily Zhou"
Keisuke Koide, who performed well in "Invincible Youth" and "Love in the Sky"
Takeru Sato is outstanding in Kamen Rider Den-oh
There are also Shirota Yu, Takaoka Sofu and others.

The joining of many handsome guys and the theme of passionate baseball allow men and women to watch the show harmoniously at the same time.

After all, in Japan, the status of baseball is very high.

The first hour of the first episode went by very quickly. . .

However, just when the audience was infected by the passion and friendship in the play, the theme song of the play rang. . .

"Tomorrow, I will like you more than today"

"The overflowing thoughts can't stop"

Accompanied by the beautiful piano melody, a vigorous male voice appeared, accompanied by the camera silhouette at the end of the film.

This is the single "キセキ" released by GReeeeN in half a month!
This is Universal Music, in order to surpass Kiyoshi Sakamoto in terms of sales, the secret weapon hidden!
The power of tie-up has a huge boost to the sales of singles.

If the TV series or movie that happens to be tie-up keeps high ratings and sells well at the box office, it will definitely be reflected in the sales of the single.

So, why did Kenji Kitano think that this week, the sales of GReeeeN's singles exceeded the sales of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's albums.

Because, this week, "ROOKIES" is going to air!
Once "ROOKIES" is aired, more and more people will be familiar with GReeeeN's "キセキ". As a result, sales will definitely increase.

Then, it is possible to surpass Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album sales this week.

In fact, Kenji Kitano himself knew that Universal had already lost in this one-on-three duel.

It's just that he has been deceiving himself and others. . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album sales were 150 million copies sold during the pre-sale period alone, just like the bald head in a certain anime, whose unstoppable punch knocked him into a daze.

Even the combined sales of singles and albums of the singers of GReeeeN, perfume, and mihimaru GT are not as good as Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

What's more, in just a few weeks, the cumulative sales of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's albums have reached more than 200 million.

This made his idea of ​​suppressing Kiyoshi Sakamoto even more difficult, and the possibility of realizing it became slimmer.

Now, just to save his last face, he will continue to spend all of Universal's huge publicity resources on GReeeeN.

Just want to win once!
As long as he wins Kiyoshi Sakamoto once in terms of sales, he will feel that this targeted plan will not be so embarrassing.

Only then will the board of directors not see his incompetence;
How much to explain to the board of directors.

"Look, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is so powerful, we still defeated him once, which proves that he is not invincible!" This is what Kenji Kitano is going to say in front of the board of directors.

It can be seen from this that Kenji Kitano is not a fool.

Although he was very upset with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, he still deeply realized from this head-to-head confrontation that Sakamoto Kiyoshi is terrible.

It can be said that in the Japanese music scene in recent years, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is the star that has been shining and never falling.

Stable as a dog with millions of sales, and since the decline of the record market, the only singer who can achieve millions of sales consecutively as a solo singer and as a band at the same time.

In fact, today's Sakamoto Kiyoshi can already be included in the ranks of music kings.

It's just that no media has dared to shout out like that. . .

After all, in a society that values ​​seniority, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's four-year seniority is still not enough.

However, this is already a well-known secret in the entertainment industry.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto = the king of the music scene, is also the default fact in the circle.

Therefore, Kenji Kitano also kept dropping his goals.

From the high-spirited and high-spirited at the beginning, preparing to surround Kiyoshi Sakamoto with three groups of singers, now his eyes are dazed, and he only wants one victory.

He no longer dared to ask for too much, he only hoped that the sales of GReeeeN's single, with the help of "ROOKIES", would surpass Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album sales in the next week. . .

That's it.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto blew through his small, bubble-like request with a light breath. . .

On April 4th, in addition to the premiere of "ROOKIES", there is also an NTV TV series, which also premiered.

NTV's Spring Nine, Yukie Nakama returns with a sequel to the work that made her the queen of the small screen!
"Great Fresh Master 3"!
In the cast list, apart from a few familiar faces such as "Kumiko Yamaguchi" who still wears double ponytails, wears earthy glasses and wears red sportswear, and her deadly rival "Saruto Goro", the students' Characters, all changed!

Haruma Miura, Yuya Takagi, Hero Ishiguro. . .

Compared with the student lineup of the first two parts, the student lineup of the third part is simply scum.

You know, in the first part of "Ji Dao Xian Shi", there were Arashi's Matsumoto Jun, Oguri Shun and others.

The lineup is not bad.

The second part is not bad either. There are two KAT-TUN stars, Kamenashi Kazuya and Akanishi Jin, and the ratings are also high.

As for the third part, only Haruma Miura is considered to be more famous among Wakashou comedians.

Also the first two, simply incomparable.

However, even the weakening of the student lineup does not prevent this show from becoming popular before it is broadcast, relying on Nakama Yukie's huge appeal.

26.4%!

This was announced the next day, the ratings for the first episode of "Judao Fresh Master 3".

In these years, more than 20% of TV dramas can already be regarded as topical works, let alone more than 25%.

Such a super high ratings directly made "Ji Dao Xian Shi 3" parachute, becoming this week's TV drama rating champion!

A TV series with such a high ratings is bound to become a hot topic among the public, and even the theme song in the drama is something people talk about.

"Did you watch "Fresh Master 3" last night?"

"Look, Kumiko is still so cute..."

"Well, that theme song is also very nice."

"Of course, that's a song sung by Sakamoto-kun!"

"Oh, that's right, the name is..."

"《さくらのうた》!"

These dialogues are constantly staged among girls and housewives.

That's right, just like Universal, Sony Music has also pre-ordered the theme song of "Gokudo Senshi 3" for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "さくらのうた"! ! !
When it comes to tie-up, who could be more slippery than Sony?

You know, Sony's singers, their own animations, and then the tie-up situation of their own singers.Simply not too much.

Although Sony is not very powerful in terms of TV dramas, in order for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album to exceed 300 million copies, Sony Music also discussed tie-up matters with NTV through Johnny's intermediary.

In the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "さくらのうた" also successfully became the theme song of "Golden Master 3".

It was also because of this trick that Kitano Kenji also realized that he should lose his last remaining face.

Sure enough, the hit of "Golden Master 3" made Kiyoshi Sakamoto's title song "さくらのうた" from the album once again attract the attention of the public.

The final result is that it led to a surge in album sales!

4 month 22 number.

The Oricon Weekly Ranking is out again!
GReeeeN's single sales, affected by "ROOKIES", also saw a big increase.

"キセキ" once again won the weekly crown of Oricon singles with a sales volume of 32 in a single week!
However, even so, it still cannot surpass Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album sales in a single week.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's solo second album, sales in the fourth week are . . .

35 million!

Compared with last week's sales, it has increased by [-] copies.

Bucking the trend, it rose by [-] copies. For Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album, fans' desire to buy has been almost exhausted, which is already a very good result!

You know, his "Sakura Season" has been on the shelves for the fourth week, plus the sales during the pre-sale period, the cumulative sales have exceeded 280 million copies! ! !

In this way, the record of 300 million albums seems to be in sight!
