Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 409 Asahi's New Signboard (New Week!)

NHK and the five major private TV stations, each of which has a lot of variety shows, from Monday to Sunday, every day, so the competition is very fierce.

The competition has also prompted TV stations to produce more and better programs. Coupled with Japan's strict copyright protection policy, although there are many variety shows, there are not many programs of the same type. This is one of the reasons why Japanese variety shows flourish.

There are music classes.

For example, the three major music groups: "HEY3", "Music Station", "UTABAN", and "New Cousin Brothers" and so on. . .

There are also funny ones.

"Men and Women Pickets"

Talk show kind of.

"Ametalk"

Comprehensive.

"SMAPxSMAP"

Iconic.

"VS Arashi", "AKBINGO! "etc.

There are also reality shows, games, knowledge, and farming (it seems that there is a strange category mixed in,). . .

In short, there are so many categories that it is completely worthy of the idiom "a hundred flowers bloom".

This is different from Tianchao. When a show becomes popular, other stations immediately imitate and copy a similar show to compete.

For example, "If You Are X, Not X" became popular, a group of dating programs will be released immediately; "If You Are X" is popular, a group of job hunting programs will be released immediately; Where is X" became popular, and a batch of parent-child reality shows will be released soon.

This may be due to the issue of copyright awareness. . .

Closer to home, the first titled variety show hosted by the national band THE SUN, "Suddenly THE SUN", can be regarded as a variety show in the category of reality show.

Speaking of which, Japanese variety shows may have something to do with the character of the Japanese.

"Chrysanthemum" and "sword" are the embodiment of Japanese contradictory character.

For example, beauty-loving yet militaristic, courteous yet aggressive, novelty yet stubborn, obedient yet rebellious, the conflict and fusion of chrysanthemum and sword are vividly displayed in the variety shows of Neon.

The literary and artistic films are as fresh as snow, but the scale of entertainment programs is astounding.

Unlike Tianchao's reality show, which started relatively late, Neon's variety shows more or less have the nature of reality shows.

Reality shows, on the other hand, emphasize real-time live broadcasts, without too many scripts, and are not role-playing, but a TV program that claims to reflect reality 100%.

It is precisely because reality shows cater to ordinary people’s thirst for knowledge, curiosity, gossip, and voyeurism. Therefore, variety shows often use these new content that have not been rehearsed in advance to attract audiences.

Especially when the host is a star who is usually aloof, but shows a huge contrast in the show, it is even more attractive.

And "Suddenly THE SUN" is just such a reality show that unreservedly shows the true faces of the three members of the popular national band THE SUN.

Long before the broadcast, the public began to discuss heatedly around this titled program.

The most extensive group of THE SUN fans are female high school students in major colleges and universities.

"Hey, Mei-chan, do you know that THE SUN is planning to open a titled variety show?"

"Huh?! Really?"

"Yeah, it's ten o'clock on the next week, and I can't wait to see Sakamoto-kun!"

"Me too, THE SUN hasn't been on a variety show for a long time..."

"Yeah, the most recent time, it should have been during the album release period last year."

"I'm really looking forward to the performance of Sakamoto-kun, Ogawa-kun, and Chiba-kun in variety shows..."

"Well, but, I feel that as long as I see such handsome three people, I'm already very happy. I may not know what I'm looking at at all. After all, I'm their fan..."

"Me too!"

The above conversations occur almost every day among female high school students.

During that time, THE SUN's new variety show group became the hottest topic among female high school students.

And this heated discussion became even more intense after the show was broadcast.

"Oh! Have you watched the first issue of "The Sun That Comes Suddenly"?"

"Looked at it, oops, I almost died laughing, Ogawa-kun's complaints are still so fierce, Chiba-kun is so cute, especially Sakamoto-kun, who is usually so cool and handsome, how can he become so obscene? How cute?!"

"Haha, I didn't expect that the three of them would actually go to a girls' school as one-day transfer students. The students in that school are so lucky..."

"Yes, I also want to be a classmate with Sakamoto Kiyo-kun, in the same classroom, in class, it's best to be at the same table!"

"Haha, I thought so too!"

In particular, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's outfit of a big guy in women's clothing formed a sharp contrast with his cool and handsome image on stage, and the impact it caused was even greater.

Within just one hour of the broadcast, "Sakamoto Kiyoshi Women's Clothes" immediately ranked first on YAHOO's hot search list.

It is conceivable that he has a huge influence now.

It can be summed up in one sentence, Sakamoto Qinghuo.

However, it wasn't that he was hot, he was already very hot.

What's hot is the picture of him in women's clothing!
This picture has become one of the most used pictures on 2CH in a very short period of time!

It has also been posted by the majority of netizens with various magical and middle-level sentences.

"Are you as charming as me?" "I am the most beautiful!"

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw these pictures, he also had a constipated face.

Especially when he returned to Sony, he was even more speechless when he was looked at by the company's employees and juniors as if he saw hentai. . .

"Hahaha! You look pretty in women's clothing..." These were the original words of Yui Aragaki, who was filming a new movie, calling Kiyoshi Sakamoto from the set.

Through the phone, Sakamoto Kiyoshi could hear the strong ridicule in Aragaki Yui's mouth.

"Senior, so you are this kind of senior..." This is what Sakamoto Kiyoshi said when he was staring at Nonen Rena with innocent eyes when Kiyoshi Sakamoto was making up lessons for Rena Nonen.

"..."

The speechless Sakamoto Kiyoshi could only look up and sigh, "A single mistake will cause eternal hatred!"

Especially when Nishino Nanase, who was far away in Osaka, and Mai Shiraishi, who was in Saitama, all sent text messages saying.

"Unexpectedly, you are such a person..."

It made Kiyoshi Sakamoto feel "tears streaming down his face" that his fame in the first life was ruined in one fell swoop.

Of course, everyone just made fun of him.

However, if a new variety show is not funny and topical, it will definitely not get attention.

And it just so happened that the stalk of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's women's clothing made more people pay attention to the titled program of THE SUN, coupled with the novel content and nature of the program, which led to the ratings of "Suddenly THE SUN". The second period maintained its strength.

On May 5th, "THE SUN" once again achieved an average viewership rating of 7%, becoming the champion of all major TV stations in the 16 o'clock slot on Water Day!
And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Masaki Ogawa, and Masaki Chiba showed real, unpretentious, and natural humor in the show, which made THE SUN, an idol rock band, develop a new attribute again.

A funny guy!

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who let himself fly, was also dubbed a "variety show hanger" by the public, and was loved by the public.

It took only two episodes of the program to make the titled Fangumi the ratings champion of the same period, which made TV Asahi laugh from ear to ear.

Although at the beginning, I was a little worried about whether the three of THE SUN could support a prime-time variety show, but judging by the popularity and fame of THE SUN, TV Asahi made this gamble.

However, the unexpected popularity and the funny ability of the three of THE SUN are also above the standard, which makes TV Asahi urgently increase investment in the program, trying to make this program into TV Asahi. In addition to "Men and Women's Pickets" and "Ametalk", there is another signature variety show.

TV Asahi's attention is a good thing for the three of THE SUN.

However, for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it was a little bit of a bad thing.

Because, in this way, he has to set aside one day almost every week to record "THE SUN".

This made his recent workload increase again.

However, there is no way, the artist is busy, like a spinning top, it is always spinning, there is no time to stop.

What's more, he is a popular fried chicken?
You know, in early May, after the release of the first Nikkei Land List, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's name became more familiar.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto ranked firmly in ZONE this ten days, and also won the third place in the overall list!
In the overall list, it is second only to the two national groups of SMAP and Southern Stars.

Those who lined up behind Sakamoto Kiyoshi were all well-known big shots.

Akashi's saury, Takeshi Kitano, Masaharu Fukuyama, Yoshisuke Kuwata and others!
Not only that, he personally also occupies the third place in the list of singers and the fourth place in the list of male comedians.

And his band THE SUN also ranked tenth on the overall list and third on the singer list.

It can be seen that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who debuted for four years, has become the most well-known artist in the Heisei era after running wildly all the way!
His terrifying influence is even comparable to that of many bigwigs who have debuted for many years.

In the past few years, Sakamoto Kiyoshi has made such a strong and profound impression on the public that the public has already firmly remembered his name and appearance in their minds. . .

Fortunately, compared to other variety shows, the weight of one season of continuous recording, "Suddenly THE SUN" due to the uncertain program content and sudden program features, "Suddenly THE SUN" only needs to be recorded every It is enough to shoot one or two issues a week, and then set aside a week for special situations.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not stop what he was preparing for because of the titled program.

. . . . . .

Sony Music headquarters building.

In a huge recording studio with luxurious equipment and almost perfect acoustics, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was discussing intensely with his teacher Masaharu Fukuyama.

"Teacher, I think, this name, no way..."
