"10 Minutes = One Song! "

"10 Minute Magical Skills! "

"Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Heisei's No. [-] Music Talent"

"Magazine slander fails, editor-in-chief apologizes and resigns"

On the second day after the press conference, major portal websites and major media reported the final outcome of this incident with various cover headlines and website headlines.

After witnessing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's creative strength, various music critics and veterans of the music industry all expressed their voices, saying that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is really a creative genius.And the general public, through live TV, also found that they had wrongly blamed Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and in a guilty mood, they all went to buy the singles of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and THE SUN band to express their apology to Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

As a result, THE SUN band's single immediately went from the bottom of the singles chart to the top five again, and sold [-] copies in a single week!And "Close Your Eyes Lightly", which has fallen out of the list, also entered the top ten again, and sold [-] copies in a week.

On the single sales list, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's two original songs "Close Your Eyes Lightly" and "Flower" are both high in the top ten.

On the singles list, all four songs by Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN entered the top ten.

"Flower" ranked first, "Close Your Eyes Lightly" third, "Nagasaki" seventh, and "Shimmer" tenth.

This is also the first singer to have four songs in the top ten of the singles chart since the establishment of the RB Oricon Chart.

This record made the RB music world seem to have seen the birth of a future king.

No matter how the outside world talks about this matter, Sakamoto Kiyoshi passed the "10-minute songwriting" at Sony's press conference, and then returned to his home in Meguro Ward, alone. . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly felt a little tired. Before he entered the entertainment industry, he heard his teacher, Masaharu Fukuyama, say, "This is a circle that looks glamorous on the surface but is filthy behind the scenes. There are many, many People want to come in if they squeeze their heads, but there are also many people who want to escape, but they can't escape from a lonely city."

He also warned Kiyoshi Sakamoto, "If you really want to enter this circle, then you must have strong willpower and a strong mentality. Only in this way, you will not be disaffected by those who don't like you, who don't recognize you, and who don't agree with you." Yours, even those who are jealous of you, those people, be crushed!"

At that time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was still a layman who longed for the bright colors of the entertainment circle and the shouts of thousands of people in the entertainment circle. He could be said to be a dreamer, and he didn't understand what Masaharu Fukuyama said to him at all.

And after experiencing this turmoil, Sakamoto Kiyoshi suddenly understood what Fukuyama Masaharu said to him that day, what it meant.

This is not a beautiful circle of dream chasers who all have their own dreams.

This is a cruel place with its own rules, everyone praises you when you are popular, and tramples on you when you are down.

It is impossible for every artist to be popular for a lifetime, and there will definitely be times of depression. At this time, only your own strong heart will accompany you and support you to move forward.

"If you can't remain calm in the face of the ridicule and abuse from some sunspots and trolls, then quit the entertainment circle now!"

This is Uncle Ishida, an old fritter who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, giving Sakamoto Kiyoshi the most faithful advice.

"It seems that I can't be calm yet." Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was lying on the bed, muttered to himself, while holding the remote control, he turned on the TV.

On the TV, this issue of music station happened to be playing. Kiyoshi Sakamoto remembered the song "CAROLS" he wrote for Ayumi Hamasaki's sister. She said it would be released in September. Is there her in this issue?
As Kiyoshi Sakamoto expected, the finale of this issue is Step Sister.

Watching Ayumi Hamasaki on TV being interviewed by Tamori, Tamori first asked about the "Matsuura Katsuto incident" that had just passed.

Then Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly remembered that in the past August, not only his own "Sakamoto Gunner Incident" appeared, but also an incident that shocked the RB entertainment world happened, that is the "Matsuura Katsuto Incident".

Katsuto Matsuura, as the general manager of Avex Records Group, is famous for discovering and cultivating emerging artists, especially the popularity of Ayumi Hamasaki, which makes him one of the best musicians in the circle.

At the end of July this year, Avex company president Tatsumi Yoda held a high-level meeting within Avex company, and at the meeting, "Matsuura Katsuto is using Avex's artists to seek personal interests" as an excuse to report to Avex executive The operating president, Chiba Ryuhei, asked for the dismissal of Matsuura Katsuto, and the president Chiba Ryuhei agreed to the proposal.

However, this proposal angered Matsuura Katsuto, and he resigned angrily.

And Katsuto Matsuura, as Ayumi's mentor, fully supports Ayumi for the person who discovered her and made her famous.

Therefore, facing the departure of his mentor, Ayumi Hamasaki left a message on his official website saying: "If Matsuura's resignation is accepted, I have decided to advance and retreat with him."

This move led to a large number of singers who regarded Matsuura as their mentor, such as the band Dawu, hitomi, SPEED and small things band, etc., as well as employees who supported Matsuura to ask for resignation.

This suddenly shocked the entire Avex company. The next day, Avex company's stock price immediately fell by more than 10%.

This also shocked the entire entertainment industry at once, and the eyes of most of the public and the media were attracted to it. At that time, the "gunman incident" of Kiyoshi Sakamoto had not had time to erupt, so it was given to Sakamoto. The counterattack later in the Qing Dynasty provided a little time for thinking and maneuvering.

Avex finally succumbed to Hamasaki's request and withdrew its decision to fire Matsuura.

On August [-], under pressure from Ayumi Hamasaki's statement, Avex changed its original business policy and announced the recall of Katsuto Matsuura, which also put an end to Ayumi Hamasaki's worries about leaving the company.

But this incident caused Ayumi Hamasaki to issue a statement on her official website, stating that she had resigned from this year's RB Record Awards and that she would no longer receive singing awards.

This is also something that makes the majority of Hamasaki fans feel very sorry, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt the same way at that time.However, before he had time to comfort Step Sister, the "Sakamoto gunmen incident" hit him.

These two incidents took place from August to September, during this month, and the RB entertainment industry also knew about the terrible influence of Ayumi Hamasaki and Kiyoshi Sakamoto who had not made his debut in these two incidents. Huge influence for a newcomer of the year.

And after this incident was settled, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned home, only to realize that this was the first time he had seen Ayumi Hamasaki in the past month, although it was only on TV.

At this time, after Ayumi Hamasaki on TV briefly answered about the "Matsuura Katsuto Incident" in the past, Tamori also asked her about the "Sakamoto Gunner Incident".

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was already sitting on the bed, his body upright, watching how Ayumi Hamasaki answered on TV.

In fact, in this "Sakamoto gunmen incident", only Fukuyama Masaharu, Aragaki Yui, Nagasawa Masami, Chai Qiyu, etc., are the artists who have a little friendship with Sakamoto Kiyoshi and support him with a firm attitude. There is another unexpected person who also strongly supports me on her official website, and that is Yuko Takeuchi, whom she has never met.

Sister Yuko Takeuchi, wrote on her official website, "I received the album from Sakamoto Kiyo-kun before, I was very happy, and I listened to it right away. The three songs in it are very nice, Sakamoto Kiyo-kun's voice is very warm Well, I don't think anyone with such an Asahi (gentle) voice would be a liar."

This moved Kiyoshi Sakamoto very much, because Yuko Takeuchi supported her like this. It takes a lot of courage for this person who has never met before, and her office definitely didn't want her to post this, but she still posted it. up.

This also gave Kiyoshi Sakamoto an urge to meet this trusting and gentle sister Yuko Takeuchi.

At this time, Ayumi Hamasaki on TV also answered his opinion on the "Sakamoto gunmen incident".

"At that time, because I had just experienced a sad thing, I didn't support KIYO-kun immediately, but I have always supported him. After all, I saw it earlier than you, that 10 minutes It's a genius in songwriting." Ayumi Hamasaki said on TV.

"Oh, what's going on here?" Tamoli didn't expect to ask the inside story just by asking casually.

"It was July 23rd. That day was the first time I met KIYO-kun. At that time, I didn't know where the courage came from, so I asked KIYO-kun to sing on the spot."

"Hey??? First time meeting? Si Guoyi (very old)" Tamoli was shocked.

"Hmm, I didn't know why it happened at the time, maybe it was because I liked the songs written by KIYO-kun so much." Ayumi Hamasaki said a little shyly.

"Then what's next? Did Sakamoto Kiyo-kun agree to you? Are you still looking at you with a dazed face? Haha" Tamori laughed a lot and became active in the scene.

"... He agreed, and before he finished speaking, he took a pen and paper and started writing on the table at the side of the lounge. Ten minutes later, my song "CAROLS" was born."

"Eh??? Hamasaki-san, the title song of your single this time is Kiyo-kun Sakamoto, did you write it for you?" These are all written in the materials, but Tamori is also pretending to know for the first time, expressed surprise.

"That's right, my song "CAROLS" was written by Mr. KIYO in 10 minutes in the lounge. And he didn't know that I would invite him to sing, so it was impossible for him to find someone to write it. So, I already knew that KIYO-kun would definitely not be the one who asked the gunman to compose the music, he is a musical genius." Ayumi treated Sakamoto Kiyoshi as his younger brother, and proudly showed off Sakamoto Kiyoshi's creative strength.

"Well, I also think Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a musical genius. After all, he is so young to be able to make such beautiful music. Next, please Ayumi Hamasaki to bring us "CAROLS" composed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto "Tamoli also supported slightly.

Watching the scene on TV where Ayumi Hamasaki helped Sakamoto Kiyoshi to promote a wave, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also smiled.

At least in this farce, I know that those who support me behind have never left.

"I am a failure in life!" This is what Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought of at this time.
