Chapter 414 Play some new tricks

"Eh?!!"

After hearing this inside information, the three were really surprised.

Uncle Ishida just continued to explain.

"However, after negotiation between the company and the organizer of the music festival, the organizer agreed to change the invitee from Kiyoshi Sakamoto to THE SUN band."

This approach is exactly the same as the approach adopted by NHK TV in the last two Red and White Song Festivals.

That is to say, the person invited changed from Kiyoshi Sakamoto to THE SUN band.

Although the number has increased, both Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN band are only counted as a group of singers.

Therefore, not much difference.

With precedent, the three quickly understood.

Just when the three of them were about to start high-fiving to celebrate, Uncle Ishida gasped and said, "But!"

"Huh?" The three were confused.

"there is a question."

"question?"

"That's right, although the organizers agreed to our proposal, they also made a request, that is, to sing English songs as much as possible."

"That's a lot of money..." The three of them also suddenly realized.

Yes, how people say it is also the Glastonbury Music Festival, the largest open-air music festival in the world, and it is still very impressive. . .

Inviting Kiyoshi Sakamoto was finally decided on the face of the best-selling ballad and the public relations of Sony Music.

The organizer invited Kiyoshi Sakamoto to participate, and he must have been invited for Sakamoto Qing to sing the song "I'm Yours".

Now it's the band THE SUN, and of course we try our best to ask the band to sing English songs. . .

This is also understandable.

The three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi also expressed their understanding.

"This music festival is the first time that THE SUN has participated in a famous foreign music festival, and it is also the largest open-air music festival in the world!"

"This is an important first step for you to enter the European and American music scene, so you must seize this great opportunity!"

"You know, you are the first band in Asia to be invited by the Glastonbury Music Festival!!!"

Asia's first? !
This word sounds very compelling, which makes the three people's eyes shine.

"Yo Xi!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly stood up from the sofa, raised his clenched fists, and said with a firm face, "In this case, let the European and American girls see the charm of our THE SUN!!!"

However, his wave of pretense did not succeed in receiving admiration from his teammates. . .

"By the way, which song shall we participate in?"

It was Ogawa Makoto who was the calmest at all times, who said the key question.

Sitting on the sofa, Makoto Ogawa, with a calm demeanor, expressed the current situation of THE SUN in a light tone.

"We have released so many singles and albums, all of which are Japanese songs, and even the only English song is your personal single, should we adapt this song "I'm Yours" into a rock version, Are you taking it to a music festival?"

"Also, even if you start to create now, there will be no time."

"After all, our new album will be released soon..."

However, Ogawa seems to have forgotten that the band he is in has the super bug of Kiyoshi Sakamoto!
"This matter is on me!!!"

Still standing on the sofa, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was posing in a pose, patted his chest and made a promise.

"Uh...do you have English songs in stock?!" Ogawa asked, looking at Sakamoto Kiyoshi in surprise.

The term "stock" is a noun used by the three creators of THE SUN to describe the original songs that have not been published after their usual creations.

Because, the amount of creations of the three is so large that they don't need to rely on the contributions of Sony's composers, and they can also independently produce a complete album.

Therefore, in addition to selling some of the remaining songs created by the three to other singers who are also under Sony, they will also store some high-quality goods and take them out when needed.

That's why Ogawa was really surprised and Kiyoshi Sakamoto had "stock" of English songs.

After all, before receiving an invitation from the Glastonbury Music Festival, it is impossible for the three to start writing English songs in advance. In that case, there is no inventory.

"That's for sure, I have a lot of stock here!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto pointed his finger at his head and said with a stinking face.

Looking up at Kiyoshi Sakamoto who stood up, Masaki Ogawa, Masaki Chiba, and Uncle Ishida also had to sigh with emotion.

"Comparing people to people, it's maddening..."

However, the three of them have long been accustomed to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's omnipotence.

After all, the 18-year-old monster who is handsome, good at studying, can sing, act, create, and even write novels is the only one in Japan. . .

No, it should be the only one in the world.

However, they still missed one thing, that is, they are so rich!
If the three of them knew that he was a major shareholder of Facebook, or a shareholder of Google, an invisible rich man with a net worth of 40 billion US dollars. . .

Ogawa really didn't know how he would react, anyway Masaki Chiba and Uncle Ishida would definitely be dumbfounded.

. . . . . .

after one day.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto ran to the band's practice room excitedly holding the score that had just been released.

In the practice room, the other two from THE SUN, as well as the manager uncle and music director Yamada uncle, all gathered together, waiting for him.

"Hey, are you all here?" As soon as he entered the practice room, he felt it, four pairs of eyes focused on himself.

"Sorry sorry, the bike is a little slower..."

Ignoring everyone's dissatisfied eyes on his lateness, Kiyoshi Sakamoto went directly to Masaki Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, handed the score in triplicate to the two, and looked at them with radiance.

"Are you ready?"

"Eh?!"

However, the two were stupefied and didn't know what he was talking about.

However, when they lowered their heads and looked at the sheet music in their hands, they also spoke in unison.

"We Are Young?"

After saying the name of the song at the same time, the two continued to read, especially Ogawa Makoto, who is more talented in composition, with the other hand on his thigh, slowly beating the beat with the notes in the score, It seems to be feeling this song called "We Are Young".

Masaki Chiba, who has a unique understanding of lyrics, focuses on the lyrics under the notes.

Constantly chanting words, Chiba Masaki looked at the lyrics while pondering every word. . .

A moment later, under the inexplicable eyes of Uncle Ishida and Director Yamada, Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki came back to their senses from the song.

"This..." Ogawa Makoto stared at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a serious expression after a long time, and said suddenly without thinking, "It's a waste."

"Was it a waste? No, I have already prepared." Sakamoto Kiyoshi also heard the meaning of Ogawa's words.

It is nothing more than to say that it is a waste to take out this song and go to a music festival.

Also, as the most well-known song of the Fun. band, "We Are Young" brought the band their first Billboard No. [-] single and a Grammy gramophone!

"We Are Young" is a pop rock song released by Fun. in 2011.

Once released, it topped the music charts in nine countries including the UK, Canada, Australia, Austria, Ireland, Israel, Portugal, Iceland, and Poland.

Moreover, on the Billboard HOT 100, it won the championship for six consecutive weeks. Before Kiyoshi Sakamoto crossed over, the global sales exceeded 900 million, just a little bit, becoming another diamond single in the United States!
One can imagine the quality and popularity of this song.

Even if they only saw the score and lyrics, Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki, who have been immersed in music creation for several years, can still see the high quality of this song.

That's why, Ogawa really said, "it's a waste".

Because, in his opinion, if this song is used as the title song of the band's album when THE SUN officially enters the European and American music scene, it will definitely make THE SUN a blockbuster.

Therefore, he was a little dissatisfied with Sakamoto Kiyoshi who came up with this song at this time.

"What are you talking about?" Chiba Masaki on the side still didn't quite understand the two talking about charades, "What is not wasted?"

"Let's not talk about that first, let's practice together first!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not answer Chiba Masaki's question directly, but greeted his teammates, preparing to perform this song live.

"it is good."

Xiaochuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he got up to get the instrument.

"Ignoring me again..." Chiba Masaki was muttering, walking slowly towards the drum set.

What the two of them have in common is that they hold the score tightly in their hands, for fear that such a good song will slip away from their hands. . .

The three of them stood in their respective positions, holding instruments and getting ready.

"You are very lucky. Today is the first release of this song, so you are also the first audience of this song!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, standing in front of the rocking mic with an electric guitar on his back, gently brushed his hair After reaching behind the ear, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Uncle Ishida, who was a little confused, and Yuichi Yamada.

"Listen, We Are Young!"

As soon as the words fell, Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned his head to the drummer Masaki Chiba and nodded slightly.

A burst of "dong dong dong" drum accompaniment appeared abruptly and continuously, and after eight beats, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's voice followed.

"Give me a second I'"

“I need to get my story straight”

“My friends are in the bathroom”

“getting higher than the Empire State”

. . .

In the original song of "We Are Young", the piano accompaniment accounts for a large proportion.

Because the three of THE SUN have their own accompaniment tasks, electric guitar, drums, and bass. . .

Therefore, a keyboard player is also needed to assist in the interpretation of this song.

However, because this is the version adapted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it directly becomes a more rock version.

Although they just got the sheet music and practiced together for the first time, the three of THE SUN still gave a stunning LIVE performance.

"how?"

"A very good song!" Yamada Yuichi was a little confused, "But then you called me here just to..."

"Director, how about we play some new tricks?" Before Yuichi Yamada finished speaking, Kiyoshi Sakamoto interrupted.

"Huh? What do you mean by new pattern?"

"Double Title Album!"
