Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 510
At last.

THE SUN still won the best rock song by virtue of the runner-up of the world's album sales and "We Are Young" which is popular all over the world!
For the Grammys, this is just a trivial award, and it doesn't matter who it is awarded to.

However, for THE SUN, it is of great significance.

It was THE SUN's first break into the European and American music scene, and it won the first award at the world-renowned music awards ceremony!
What's more, it's a Grammy! ! !

The Grammy trophies are all trophies made into gramophone-like trophies.

Interestingly, whether it is the best album of the year, the best song of the year, or the best world music album, the best rock song, the trophy is a gramophone.

In a sense, the Best Rock Song Award won by THE SUN is no different from the Best Song Award won by Coldplay, two trophies.

The difference is just the meaning that Grammy gives to this trophy. . .

No matter how you put it, it is undoubtedly an eye-catching thing to win a prize for the first time you participate.

This year's Grammys, still led by Coldplay, made the Americans lower their noble heads in front of their music counterparts, and they were deeply remembered.

The situation of the confrontation between Britain and the United States has not changed because of the variable THE SUN.

However, the media in Los Angeles and even the world did not hesitate to report on this rock band from Asia.

This just proves that THE SUN is not a dispensable passer-by for the Grammys.

"Los Angeles Weekly" said, "This year's Grammy, for us, has discovered a strange face who will frequently appear in front of the European and American public in the future. That is THE SUN!"

In particular, a long report by the "Los Angeles Times" let many people in the United States who pay attention to the entertainment industry know that in the distant Asia, there is an eye-catching rock band.

"It is foreseeable that this young band, known as Asia's No. [-] band, will definitely give us more surprises in the next few years! I am absolutely sure of this."

You know, the "Los Angeles Times" is the largest daily newspaper in the western United States. Its influence and status are second only to the "New York Times" and "Washington Post", and it is called the third largest newspaper in the United States.

Its circulation is often maintained at 100 million to 150 million copies, and it is one of the only large newspapers in the United States with sales of more than one million copies.

It is conceivable how huge the influence of this newspaper is. . .

And THE SUN, which was reported by this newspaper, took advantage of the opportunity to catch the last high-speed train named "Grammy". . .

In particular, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the lead singer and the soul of the band who has created all the title songs of the band, has also been recognized by many musicians in the European and American music circles for his music creation ability.

Coldplay said, "I'm looking forward to working with THE SUN!"

The rock god Paul McCartney, when answering the reporter's question, also praised it so much, "An unforgettable moment? Well... it should be when the Asian band is performing!"

"The lead singer made me seem to see the shadow of John when he was young..."

The "John" in his mouth, everyone knows, is the music genius who has a profound influence on rock music, one of the souls of the Beatles, John Lennon!
The appreciation of such specifications instantly made Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN widely concerned in the European and American music circles.

Everyone wants to know, what kind of musical genius is the person who is so praised by Paul McCartney!

Because of this, all kinds of things about Kiyoshi Sakamoto were exposed by the media!

In addition to Japan's richest man, Sony shareholder, Facebook shareholder, Sony Music executive director and other appalling identities, the great success in the Japanese music scene has also made countless music fans have great curiosity about this 19-year-old Asian boy. Heart.

Under the media reports, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is like a beautiful woman who has been stripped naked and has nowhere to hide!
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has experienced it and is regarded as a favorite by the national media, tried his best to report the exposure, also responded calmly when interviewed by many American media.

"Wealth does not represent all of me, but I do not deny that it is a part of me."

Thanks to the superimposition of multiple identities, THE SUN, a band led by Japan's richest man, has become the hottest topic of discussion after the Grammys. . .

Seeing this scene, Sony Records also announced that the band THE SUN, which won the Grammy for Best Rock Song, will release the band's second single a week later!
Of course, this decision was made after discussions between Sony and Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Taking advantage of the Grammy enthusiasm that has not dissipated, take the opportunity to release a single, take advantage of the victory to pursue a wave, and maximize the benefits of this Grammy trip!

This is undoubtedly a decision that benefits nothing but harms nothing!

It's just that it's difficult for the three of THE SUN who just got their first phonograph.

Before recovering from the joy of winning the award, I will immediately throw myself into the recording studio in New York. . .

The three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi felt heartbroken.

Within a week, the creation of the single, the recording of the single, the shooting of the MV for the single, and all the post-production of the single must be done.

Even with Sony Records behind it, it's not going to be easy.

However, for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has many future golden songs in his head, at the very least, there is no need to think too much about the song creation, just close your eyes and choose a suitable song from the brain database, that's enough!
After careful consideration, Kiyoshi Sakamoto chose a song that is different from the indie rock style of "We Are Young" for the band's second single.

A country song.

"Cruise"!
This song sung by the country band Florida Georgia Line is the best-selling country single in the history of European and American music!
In the 70-year history of the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart, "Cruise" has led a total of 24 weeks, which is the longest time for a song on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart.

In 2017, before Kiyoshige Sakamoto was born, the sales volume of this song, along with its strength on the country charts, exceeded [-] million, and it became one of the diamond singles certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)!

At the same time, it is also one of the only 17 diamond singles certified by RIAA in the world!

In order to let the public see the changeable style of THE SUN, after consideration, Kiyoshi Sakamoto decided to choose this song as the band's second single after winning the Grammy.

Not only that, in order to achieve the greatest publicity effect, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also invited Taylor Swift, a little country princess, as the heroine of the MV.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto doesn't believe it. The newly promoted lead singer of the Grammy band, coupled with the popular little country princess, is no match for the two gay European and American big men playing cards with a group of bikini girls in the MV of the previous life? !

A week later.

On February 2th, "Cruise" will be released worldwide!
　The Grammy Tour is over!
