Chapter 425 Impeachment
Within 10 minutes of entering Disneyland, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was recognized for the first time.

And Yui Aragaki next to him was not recognized. After seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto being accosted by a girl and being exposed, Yui Aragaki immediately sold Kiyoshi Sakamoto as a teammate, took a small stride with the camera, and escaped from danger.

Yui Aragaki was still walking while complaining about Kiyoshi Sakamoto in front of the camera.

Fortunately, there were three chances to be recognized, so that the two of them would call it a day less than 10 minutes after the filming started. . .

Ten minutes later, in order not to make the guests feel lonely, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had changed his costume, joined Yui Aragaki again.

The two people who met each other inevitably complained about each other.

"You abandoned me..." When Sakamoto Kiyoshi looked at Aragaki Yui with a resentful expression, Aragaki Yui also retorted unwillingly, "You are a big bag!"

The mutual hatred between the two became a major attraction after the show was broadcast.

The audience did not expect that Yui Aragaki, who has always been quiet and introverted, would complain about Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the show.

This contrast also creates a kind of cuteness.

Invisibly, Yui Aragaki also gained popularity through this episode.

. . .

After reuniting with Aragaki Yui, the two continued to think about the target location and moved forward.

However, even though Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had changed his costume for the second time, had already learned his lesson and began to restrain his every move, he was quickly recognized for the second time.

Time-consuming, 10 minutes. . .

Interestingly, when he was discovered, he still wanted to pretend to be a foreigner and sneak in.

However, the other party is a die-hard fan of his and recognizes him when he hears his voice, even though he speaks a flurry of fluent American English. . .

After the failure of the strategy of pretending to be a foreigner, Kiyoshi Sakamoto broke the can directly, pointed at Yui Aragaki who was about to run away, and said, "That's Yui Aragaki!"

Let you abandon me just now, to expose together!
In the end, the smiling Sakamoto Kiyoshi was still beaten by Yui Aragaki, who became angry from embarrassment. . .

However, when the program was finally broadcast, that segment was not recorded.

Really, the scene was too bloody and horrible!

Even the editor couldn't stand it, and cut it out under Kiyoshi Sakamoto's strong request.

The two who were recognized together, after using up three chances, still failed to complete the task in the end.

On the other side, Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki, the boy-boy combination, finally showed their sense of teamwork after a long absence at this time.

After an exposure, the two successfully took a photo with Mickey in Toontown with the help of disguise!
In this way, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Aragaki Yui, who failed in the mission, could only obediently accept the punishment of the program team.

"It's all your fault!"

"Why do you blame me?"

"Who told so many people to know you!"

"???" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who heard Yui Aragaki's accusation, showed a black question mark face.

"High popularity, is it my fault?!"

Seeing this scene, Ogawa really twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, leaned over, and interrupted the flirting between the two with one sentence.

"By the way, you two, we are still filming..."

Only then did Yui Aragaki, who had accidentally revealed her shaky side, quickly stopped and continued to complain.

. . .

The content of the punishment is not difficult, but for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is afraid of suffering, it is very uncomfortable. . .

The punishment is, a big glass full of bitter gourd juice!

Holding a glass full of bitter gourd juice, Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at PD with a bitter face and asked, "Can I not drink it?"

"No."

Not surprisingly, the PD refused indifferently.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto pinched his nose in embarrassment, and spent a few minutes intermittently before finishing the cup of bitter gourd juice that was more than [-] milliliters.

In the end, Ogawa really said something that made Sakamoto Qing want to hit someone.

"Great, I think, Mr. Sakamoto, who is full of gentlemanly demeanor, won't let the guests be punished?!"

"Are you right? Aragaki-san."

Yui Aragaki, who reacted quickly, nodded with delight and fanned the flames, "That's right!"

"You cruel bastards..."

In the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, with a helpless face, could only pinch his nose for the second time under the applause of everyone, and drank the second cup of bitter gourd juice.

After drinking, his expression couldn't hold back any longer, and his facial features were so bitter that they wrinkled together.

"Hahaha!"

. . . . . .

After recording the first issue of "Suddenly THE SUN" with the participation of guests, the three of THE SUN returned to the busy album promotion.

Signing sessions, interviews with music magazines, and playing songs on the radio. . .

From the densely packed itinerary of the three of THE SUN, it is not difficult to see that Sony is going to take THE SUN, a young band that debuted for only four years, to the top of the music scene in one fell swoop!
Under such continuous explosive publicity, the most direct feedback is reflected in the terrible sales figures.

85 copies in the second week and 75 copies in the third week. In just three weeks, the sales volume of THE SUN's album broke through the 360 million mark!
You know, it took a full month and a half for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Sakura Season" to reach this number!
This time, THE SUN took only three weeks!
"Young People" dominated the entire month of June with its strong performance of being the No. 20 album on the Oricon chart for three consecutive weeks. It is only [-] copies less than Kiyoshi Sakamoto's solo album "Sakura Season", which was released for three months, temporarily ranking on the Oricon chart. The second place in the album's annual sales chart.

However, being repeatedly beaten by Sakamoto Kiyoshi and THE SUN is not something that makes many record companies and singers feel desperate.

What made them most desperate was that when they opened the Oricon Chart, they found that the first and second places on the album sales list were all singers under Sony.

Moreover, it can basically be counted as the same singer.

Because, the lead singer and captain of THE SUN is Kiyoshi Sakamoto who releases albums from time to time and wins the album sales champion. . .

That is to say, Sakamoto Kiyoshi alone, with two albums, directly beat the entire music scene to the ground!

For a time, the name "Sakamoto Kiyoshi" appeared in every corner of the entertainment circle.

Internet, magazines, newspapers, TV, radio. . .

His name has been mentioned with high frequency.

Even NHK, which has always been strict, mentioned Kiyoshi Sakamoto's name on the evening news.

The five major private TV stations are all rushing to report the news that Kiyoshi Sakamoto dominates the music scene.

A huge tornado called "Sakamoto Kiyoshi Phenomenon" is sweeping across Japan!

At the same time, in the headquarters building of Universal Records, an important meeting was being held because of him. . .

In the spacious conference room, a group of middle-aged people in suits and leather shoes were arguing with red faces, and the spearhead between the words vaguely pointed to the current actual controller of Universal Music, Director Hexi.

"Hexi-san, you were the one who advocated making Kitano Kenji the president..."

It was Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "acquaintance" who said this sentence, the former president of Universal, Ichiro Yamazaki.

Although he was pulled from the president's position by the board of directors, the skinny camel was bigger than a horse, and he was one of the directors of Universal, so he still had a moderate right to speak on the board of directors.

After all, he who has been in power for many years is not so easily defeated.

In these words of Yamazaki Ichiro, the hidden sharpness is very clear to everyone present.

Even Kenji Kitano, who was sitting on the side, just clenched his fists and remained silent.

This is an emergency board meeting.

The initiator is none other than Ichiro Yamazaki.

The purpose of holding this meeting is to impeach the current president, Kenji Kitano!

The conference table in the conference room is very large, and there are a lot of documents on the table. Some reports, and more, are clippings made by the staff of Universal Music. These clippings mark all the recent news of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN. come out.

The sheer number of them and the amount of content involved are staggering.

On the projection screen, there are Universal's financial reports for the past year, as well as comparisons of singer sales over the same period in previous years.

From these documents and reports, it is not difficult to see how terrible Universal Music's performance has been in the past year.

Whether it is revenue, sales of its singers, or even market share, it is lower than in previous years.

This is the "big meal" carefully prepared by Ichiro Yamazaki for today!
The purpose is to regain what he lost in one fell swoop at today's board meeting.

"He Xisang, do you have anything to say about such achievements?" An elderly man with gray hair said.

This is Universal's old director and the most authoritative Kazumasa Fujikura in the world.

As a neutral faction that does not belong to the Yamazaki faction and the Kasai faction, what this old man cares about is not who is the president of Universal, but who can lead Universal forward.

Judging from the documents on the desktop and the reports on the screen, it was obvious that Kenji Kitano had done a very poor job compared to his predecessor Ichiro Yamazaki.

This also made him have to come forward.

"This..."

Facing Fujikura Kazumasa's inquiry, Director Kasai looked at the document in his hand and didn't know how to refute it.

Since the directors of the joint board of directors pulled Ichiro Yamazaki down a year ago, the board of directors headed by director Kasai has grasped the power of Universal Music.

Even the position of president is held by the leader of the board of directors, the subordinate of Director Hexi.

However, this year, this subordinate who he thought was very capable has disappointed him many times.

Record sales are firmly suppressed by Sony Music!

Market share hit a record low!

The sales of its singer's records are dismal!
Even Masaharu Fukuyama, who had spent a lot of money to sign, was forced to switch to Sony! ! !

In less than a year, Kitano Kenji ruined the signboard of one of Universal's four major records.

This made Director Kasai, who had always supported Kenji Kitano, speechless.

Seeing Director Kasai, who was unable to argue for himself, and Kenji Kitano, who was sitting aside, felt sad.

"Then, let's start voting."

After a while, everyone in the conference room withdrew their raised hands.

"Forty votes in favor and ten votes against." Fujikura Kazumasa looked at the comparison of the votes, and announced Kenji Kitano's death sentence without haste.

"Now, I announce that the case of impeachment of President Kitano has been officially passed!"
