Chapter 676 The first bullet: Nogizaka!
AKS is the firm where Yasushi Akimoto works, and it is also the firm that first established AKB.

AKS can be said to be the most experienced in the operation of girl groups in Japan.

As for TV Asahi, it is one of the five largest private TV stations in Japan, and it is also a TV station that has a very close relationship with Sony and Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

If it is pulled into Asahidai, it will be of great help to the development of this new girl group.

But the joining of Dentsu can remove all obstacles for the rapid development of the girl group!
After all, if Dentsu's strength can be described in one word, it would be "terror"!
Dentsu Group is the largest advertising and communication group in Japan.

Founded in 1901 and headquartered in Tokyo.

It was formerly known as "Nippon Advertisement" founded in 1901 and "Nippon Telegraph News Agency" founded in 1907, providing news and advertising agency services; in 1936, the news communication department was transferred, and it has been specialized in advertising agencies since then.

It is currently the largest independent advertising company in the world and has topped the sales list for 22 consecutive years.

Not only that, TBS, one of the five largest private TV stations in Japan, also has a close relationship with it.

Dentsu's business is mainly distributed in the United States, Europe, Japan and other regions. The entire group has more than 100 subsidiaries and joint ventures.

In Japan, Dentsu is even more powerful than Sony.

This can be seen from the "miracle" of Akimoto Yasushi turning salty fish over and leading AKB to become a national girl group after joining Dentsu, and we can know the power of Dentsu. . .

Money, to a certain extent, really does whatever it wants.

What's more, Dentsu also made a lot of profits from AKB.

If Sony proposes to cooperate with them to produce a new idol girl group, Dentsu will definitely not refuse.

These three companies are the cooperation partners that Sakamoto Kiyoshi chose after careful consideration.

He was worried about this plan. . .

With Kitahara Hikaru's detailed explanation and Sakamoto Kiyoshi's supplements from time to time, the directors sitting in the meeting room also had a better understanding of this new girl group project.

At this time, Kitagawa Naoki's question rang out again.

"Then the chief producer, is Akimoto Yasushi still hired?"

"No!"

"I will be the chief producer of this girl group!"

That's right, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not intend to invite Akimoto Yasushi to be the chief producer of this new girl group!

Although Nogizaka in the previous life became a girl group that can rival AKB under the management of Akimoto Yasushi.

However, this does not mean that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has the memory of his previous life, cannot do all this!
Not only to achieve the same achievements as Yasushi Akimoto, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is confident that under his leadership, Nogizaka in this life will definitely go smoother!

Beyond AKB?

That's definitely not impossible!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's eloquent answer made it impossible for everyone present to doubt his determination for this project.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked like "No one can take this chief producer away", which made Naoki Kitagawa roll his eyes and smiled, "That's good too. I also trust director Sakamoto's musical talent."

"I think it's a very correct decision for him to be the chief producer."

Seeing Naoki Kitagawa's statement, the rest of the directors also obediently kept their mouths shut.

During the two-hour board meeting, the "Sakamichi Project" proposed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto became the focus of discussion at the meeting.

In the end, due to the wide range of issues involved and the large amount of funds, the board of directors unanimously decided whether the proposal could be passed or not, and it would be announced in a week.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this project is a foregone conclusion.

. . .

After the meeting, Kitagawa Naoki also called Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and they left together.

Walking in the wide corridor, when the two were alone, Kiyoshi Sakamoto found the opportunity to express his gratitude to the big brother Beichuan who has always supported him.

"Beichuan-san, thank you very much."

"fine."

At this time, Kitagawa Naoki suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, I'm a little curious. Why did you use Sakamichi's name as the name of the group?"

"Uh?"

Kitagawa Naoki's curiosity stunned Sakamoto before he realized, "Oh, that's right, I think there is a Nogi Shrine near our company, and our company building is located in Nogizaka, so, I just feel that using Nogizaka as the name of the girl group is not a kind of coincidence?"

Fortunately, Kitagawa Naoki didn't think the name was bad, but he was somewhat curious.

"Well, the name is pretty good."

"I think so."

"What does 46 mean? To highlight the difference between us and AKB48?"

"There is this meaning. However, it is more because the group logo of this girl group is a slanted purple right-angled triangle, implying that Nogizaka is constantly going up; and the upward slant angle of the triangle is 46°, which is more than 45°. Once more, it means that Nogizaka is not limited to ordinary styles."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Hearing the explanation, Naoki Kitagawa suddenly realized.

. . . . . .

A week later.

At the impromptu meeting of the board of directors, after a show of hands, the board of directors approved the new idol girl group project proposed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and immediately began preparations for the first project of the project, the Nogizaka project!
And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who proposed the entire project, won the absolute control of the project at a cost of 50 billion, and at the same time became the full-fledged person in charge of the project.

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto was appointed as the chief producer, I was a little surprised and uneasy.

However, due to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's huge personal investment, as well as various novel ideas for new idol girl groups, coupled with his personal musical talent, the directors of Sony Music decided to fully support him!
After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also a famous musical genius throughout Japan.

Both composition and lyrics are recognized by many professional musicians.

Compared with Yasushi Akimoto, the difference is just some experience in making girl groups.

. . .

After the plan was approved, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also started intensive preparations.

He first came to Dentsu in person and met with the president of Dentsu.

After staying in the president's office for nearly an hour, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked out of Dentsu's president's office.

Judging from the smile on his face, one can tell that the purpose of this trip should be sure.

After winning Dentsu, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, whose confidence was greatly increased, continued to go to the location of the next partner without stopping.

Tokyo, Roppongi Hills, TV Asahi.

"So, we have a good cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation!"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's hand was tightly held together with that of TV Asahi President Hayaka Hiroshi.

This intimate move also indicates that Sony Music and TV Asahi have reached a friendly cooperation agreement.

"Dentsu's done it, Asahi's done it, then he's the only one left..."

Sitting in the car, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's sharp gaze had already penetrated the car window and flew into the distance.
