Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 51 Concert Guests

Westlife (Westlife) is a boy band formed in County Sligo, Ireland in 1998.It was originally composed of five people, but in March last year, one of the members, Ryan Nicholas McFadden, announced his departure from the team, and now there are only four people left.

On February 1st this year, they started their The No.[-]'s Tour, a global tour.

Because westlife is an artist under Sony, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also an artist under Sony, and he is "insider" who has both record and management appointments with Sony, so in order to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto test the waters in Europe and the United States, we arranged for him to do it. Westlife Global A single guest on the tour.

Westlife also said hello. Westlife is still relatively friendly to the juniors of the same company, and readily agreed to bring Sakamoto Kiyoshi this time.

However, Sony suggested that Sakamoto Kiyoshi should let him create an English song and perform it at the concert to see how Sakamoto Kiyoshi's English is.After all, in Europe and the United States, English must be more capable than Japanese, and it can resonate with the audience.

For Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is proficient in several languages, small English songs are not difficult for him.

Now what Kiyoshi Sakamoto thinks about is which future hit song should come out, or whether he should write one temporarily.

In the end, in order to make Sony pay more attention to itself and use more resources to praise itself, Kiyoshi Sakamoto decided to come up with an English song that will be a hit in the future, and it will become a blockbuster at the westlife concert.

And that song happened to be a country folk song.

And it just so happens that this time Kiyoshi Sakamoto is performing on the stage in Nashville, the birthplace of American country music. I think, somewhere, fate has its own arrangements.

It's a pity that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was alone this time, not the three members of THE SUN band, so Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt a little sorry for Masaki Ogawa and Chiba Masaki for his "solo flight".

When talking about this to the two, Ogawa really said something that moved Kiyoshi Sakamoto a little.

"What's the matter, whether you are alone or the three of us, they are all members of the band. The more popular you are, the more popular you are, doesn't it mean that TEH SUN is more popular? We want to hug your thighs." Xiao Chuan The truth is full of sincerity.

This is also a problem that all three of them have realized, that is, the popularity of band members varies too much.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the rookie king who just won the annual record award, a composer with two original singles sold over one million, and the core soul of the TEH SUN band. It can be said that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is alone with THE SUN The band's popularity is also the root cause of the popularity of the two with Ogawa.

Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki are just two horses who can play musical instruments. Although they can create, they don't have the Maxima that Bole likes. However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi appeared and became the Bole who fell in love with them.

The two of Ogawa really understand this fact very well. In their view, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can be regarded as their benefactor.

Therefore, although Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki did not say it clearly, they have always regarded Sakamoto Kiyoshi as their boss, and obeyed Sakamoto Kiyoshi in many things.

The incident of the concert guests this time also allowed the two of Ogawa to express their thoughts in front of Kiyoshi Sakamoto for the first time.

It was also because of the communication that Kiyoshi Sakamoto realized that the two people who formed this band with him trusted him so much, which made Kiyoshi Sakamoto feel a sense of responsibility and recognition in his heart.

Because of a sudden encounter, the three formed the current THE SUN band. In the past six months, the bond between the three has gradually strengthened, and the relationship between the three has also continued to grow. This time, after speaking, the three We are more united.

After experiencing a wave of "truth" with Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki, with the name of THE SUN band in his heart, Sakamoto Kiyoshi boarded the plane to the United States.

On January NO.30, Kiyoshi Sakamoto came to Nashville, the legendary country music sanctuary.

As soon as Kiyoshi Sakamoto arrived in Nashville, he couldn't wait to rush to the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum downtown.

For Kiyoshi Sakamoto who wants to know more about country music, this may be the best introductory textbook.

In Nashville, Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants to visit more than anything else than the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum.

This played a very important role in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's understanding of American country music.

After walking around the Museum of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little bit unsatisfied.

When walking out of the door, there was a sudden "ring ring ring", the phone rang, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto took out the phone to check.

It's Uncle Ishida.

"Moshi Moshi? Uncle, what's the matter?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi was talking to Uncle Ishida while feeling the warm sunshine in Tennessee.

"Where are you?"

"Where is my Country Music Hall of Fame museum here on Fifth Avenue? What's wrong?"

"Westlife has come to the hotel, come over and say hello." Uncle Ishida said.

"Are there so soon? Okay, I'll go back right away." Kiyoshi Sakamoto heard that the protagonist of the concert had arrived, and thought that he should go back and say hello. After all, this time it was his world-renowned boy group, and he brought himself, a fledgling guy, to see Seeing the world.

This time westlife's global tour is called The No.1's Tour. The first stop is not in the UK, but in Nashville, the birthplace of country music in the United States.

This is because Sony chose Nashville as the first stop after careful consideration in order to offset the negative impact of members leaving the team and wanting to enter the US market.

In addition, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a talented young singer from RB, just wants to make some news. On the one hand, it shows the harmony of Sony's family, and on the other hand, it wants to explore the largest record market in the United States. As for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's American Testing the waters, just incidentally.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi himself is also very self-aware, knowing that he is still just a small shrimp, this time he just came here for fun and travel.

But Xiao Xiami Sakamoto is not someone who gives up so easily. Xiao Xiami Sakamoto has already prepared a song for the concert the day after tomorrow that will surprise the audience.

This time in Nashville, the performance venue of westlife is the Nissan Stadium, home of the American football team Tennessee Titans.

This gymnasium can accommodate as many as 7 people, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto will perform in front of tens of thousands of people, so I am a little nervous just thinking about it.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto came out of the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, took a taxi, and watched the bustling Fifth Avenue in Nashville all the way, slowly getting smaller and smaller behind him.

Soon, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to the hotel where the host was prepared by Westlife and Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

This five-star hotel called Summer Time is the closest hotel to Nissan Stadium, so for convenience, Sony arranged Westlife and others here.

After Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to the hotel, under the leadership of Uncle Ishida, he came to the presidential suite where Westlife and the others were staying.

The door was opened by lead singer, Shane Finan,

Shane Finan, who is just 26 years old now, has a neat short hair, which highlights his attractive face at a glance.

"Hello, Shane!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto greeted him immediately when he saw him.

"Hello, you are KIYO?" Shane Finan saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto next to Uncle Ishida, and he knew that this young Asian should be the guest of their first concert.

"Yes, my name is SAKAMOTO KIYO. It's a pleasure to meet you, and I feel very honored to be a guest at your concert." Kiyoshi Sakamoto replied directly in fluent English.

(Because I am afraid that the English proficiency of all book friends is not good enough, so I directly translated English into Chinese.)
"Oh, KIYO, it's nice to meet you too, come in quickly." Sean Finan stepped aside to open the door, motioning for Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Uncle Ishida to come in.

After Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that he would be the guest of Westlife's concert, he had already remembered the appearance and characteristics of the few of them in his mind, so as soon as he came in, Sakamoto Kiyoshi greeted the remaining three people respectively .

Westlife chatted with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and the Westlife people were very surprised. Sakamoto Kiyoshi's English can be said to be very standard, with a bit of British accent, which surprised the four people from Ireland.

They also asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto if he had lived in the British Peninsula for a long time. They were even more surprised when they learned that Kiyoshi Sakamoto had only studied by himself and was proficient in five languages.

"Wow, KIYO, you are really amazing, you are simply a genius." Keen Egan, one of the members, couldn't help but praise like this.

"Well, I'm in my country, and everyone calls me a genius." When facing Europeans and Americans, you can't be too humble, because you will be looked down upon by them.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that you are a genius composer? Is it true?" Nicky Byrne was also very interested in Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a talented boy.

"It's okay, the two singles I created have sold over a million copies on RB, right?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi pretended to be unstoppable.

"...Both singles have exceeded one million? Do you want to do this?" After knowing the sales of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's singles, the Westlife and others were speechless.

Because when the global record market is going downhill, it would be a miracle if the two singles created by Kiyoshi Sakamoto can exceed one million, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto is still a newcomer who just debuted.

Knowing that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not an idler, the attitudes of Westlife and others have changed a lot, at least they regard Kiyoshi Sakamoto as a singer of the same level as them.

Uncle Ishida, who clearly sensed this change, secretly gave Kiyoshi Sakamoto a thumbs up, saying that the forceful act just now was very deep, and I give you a thumbs up.

"Just kidding, brother, I'm the little prince of Sony. I'm so good at pretending." Kiyoshi Sakamoto was very satisfied with his high profile just now.

Sitting at westlife for a while, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Uncle Ishida said goodbye together.

Soon, it was time for the start of the tour.

On February 2005st, the first stop of the [-] westlife global tour concert, Nashville station.

The No. 1's Tour! SHOW TIME!
