Chapter 72 Sony Audition Session ([-])
In the case of being chased, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's serious nonsense, Hirai Ken and Yamada Yuichi's half-belief, turned to a new page.

After Hirai Ken and Yamada Yuichi finished greeting, Sakamoto Kiyoshi sat down, and he was in the judge's seat near the left.

The three judges are gathered together, and the dragon can be summoned. . .No, the participants are called.

The Sony audition session has officially begun!
The interview this time is relatively private, not the kind of interview in public, but very similar to the audition that Kiyoshi Sakamoto participated in last time, that is, according to the number, the participants are called in one by one. In the room where the judges are, let the judges score through live performances.

Under the call of the scholar-bureaucrat, the first participant came in.

A boy with a non-mainstream hairstyle, who was still considered handsome, dressed very trendy, walked in with a guitar.

The boy who just came in was surprised to see Sakamoto Kiyoshi sitting on the judges' seat, and felt a little excited, so he stared at Sakamoto Kiyoshi immediately.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt baffled, "Is there something dirty on my face?" Then he wiped his face with his hand, "No, boy, why are you staring at me..."

As the spokesperson among the three judges, Yuichi Yamada, sitting in the middle, said at this time, "Please introduce yourself."

After hearing Yamada Yuichi's words, the boy realized that he was distracted, so he immediately bowed and said, "Sorry."

"I'm Kinoshita Kiyotaro from Tokyo. Please give me your advice." The boy introduced.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was also a little surprised, and complained in his heart, "Wow, why does it look like it's over twenty..."

"Please start your performance." Yamada Yuichi continued.

Then, Kinoshita, the number one participant, started his own performance.

Sure enough, he picked up the guitar he brought in, and began to sing while playing it. . .

The track sung turned out to be Kiyoshi Sakamoto's guitar version of "Close Your Eyes Lightly"! ! !
"Hey, yes, you can sing my song in front of me." Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought to himself while watching Kinoshita's singing.

Because of too many participants, generally everyone only has one and a half minutes of performance time, plus questions from the judges, each person has an average of 2 minutes to express themselves, so that the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, With admiration.

Under the gaze of the three judges, Kinoshita's playing and singing ended soon.

Kinoshita Kiyotaro, who finished singing, stood on the spot, looking at the three judges anxiously, his eyes especially on Sakamoto Kiyoshi, staying for a few seconds longer.

Judges discussion time.

"Ken-san, what do you think?" Yamada first asked, Hirai Ken is the current first brother with a high status in the company.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto listened to the two discussing.

"Well, it's okay. The intonation is OK, the rhythm is also very good, the performance is relatively stable, and the conversion between true and false sounds is good." Hirai Ken first commented on Kinoshita Kiyotaro's singing skills.

Suddenly, Ken Hirai turned to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and joked, "Qing-kun, he is singing your song, it seems he is your fan, what do you think?"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was diving while diving, was caught off guard by Ken Hirai's sudden questioning.

"Eh?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi with a confused face didn't know what Hirai Ken was asking.

Yuichi Yamada, who couldn't see past him, poked Kiyoshi Sakamoto's arm and pointed to Kinoshita in front of him.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also responded quickly, and after being reminded by Yamada, he knew what he should say.

"I think what Ken-san said is right, and I agree with it." Kiyoshi Sakamoto agreed with Ken Hirai's comment with a serious face.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's answer made Hirai Ken smile a little, "This kid is very good at it." Thinking of this, Hirai Ken felt a lot more comfortable.

Originally, Ken Hirai was very depressed when he knew that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was going to come with him as the judge of the audition meeting.

Because as a newcomer who has only been in the company for a year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can do it so quickly, and he is a judge with his senior who has been in the company for 12 years. Isn’t this a representative? Now Kiyoshi Sakamoto can be regarded as a singer with the same status as himself Yet?

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto has been very strong since his debut, he has become an instant hit, and the sales volume is also very good, and he also won the record award with his debut song, and his popularity has been in the limelight for a while.

But one was a judge of Sony's talent show that year, and the other was a participant of that year's talent show. After a year, they were on equal footing. This is what makes Hirai Ken depressed.

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto was always polite and respected himself in front of Ken Hirai, Ken Hirai was still somewhat upset. . .

However, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto came to be a judge, what Ken Hirai saw was Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a face of "I'm just here to play, you are big guys", and Kiyoshi Sakamoto agreed with his comments, which also made Hirai Jian's heart felt a little better, and the grudge against Kiyoshi Sakamoto in his heart also dissipated a little.

After thinking about it, Hirai Ken said to Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Yamada Yuichi with a smile on his face, "Well, let's wait and see."

"Okay." Sakamoto Kiyoshi agreed first.

"Well, yes." Yamada Yuichi also thought it was possible.

So, as a spokesperson, Yamada said to Kinoshita Kiyotaro who was standing there, "Well, Kinoshita-kun, thank you for your performance, please go back and wait for the notice."

Generally speaking, internal selections such as drafts and auditions will not announce the list of candidates on the spot, but let the participants go back and wait for the notification. Two days later, they will be notified by phone whether they are selected.

The boy in front of him should also know these things, so he was not surprised or disappointed, so he bowed and thanked him, and walked out of the room.

"The quality of those who came to the audition this year to participate in the selection is still good." Yamada Yuichi said a little happily.

As the music director of Sony, Yuichi Yamada of course hopes that Sony can have more good seedlings, and under his own training, he can become the leader of the RB music industry.

The new star in the movie, the more powerful the people who come to the audition meeting, the happier Yamada will be.

However, Director Yuichi Yamada soon stopped laughing.

In the next three hours, Sakamoto and Kiyoshi interviewed nearly 100 people continuously.

However, it is a pity that the best performer was actually the first one to come in, Kinoshita Kiyotaro.

After interviewing nearly a hundred people, Kiyoshi Sakamoto discovered a very speechless phenomenon, more than 30 people were teenagers under the age of 17.

And these more than 30 teenagers came to participate in the selection because of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and more than that, these more than 30 people performed and sang, almost all of them sang "Close Your Eyes Lightly" by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

In other words, these people are all fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

This is very embarrassing.

Because none of these young selectors passed the test in singing skills. . .

On the one hand, it is because the song "Close Your Eyes Lightly" is relatively difficult to sing, and on the other hand, it is because few of these teenagers have received formal singing training.

So, naturally, all the people were drawn with a big cross on the paper by the three of them.

This dumbfounding situation made Director Yamada quickly think of a sentence written in a certain newspaper: Not every boy is Kiyoshi Sakamoto!
"I take back what I just said. The people who participated in the selection this year are really bad!" Yamada said to Hirai Ken and Sakamoto Kiyoshi with a bitter face.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was also very embarrassed, because the three of them also knew why so many "poor" teenagers came to the audition meeting.

The reason, in fact, is to want to become an instant hit young singer like Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

But this group of teenagers, without musical talent like Sakamoto Kiyoshi, wanted to become a talented singer like Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and in the end it would just be embarrassing.

This also reflects Sakamoto Kiyoshi's current influence among young people.

Except for the group of teenagers who were under 17 years old, the others who came to participate in the selection were all over 20 years old and had certain singing skills, but none of them could make the three of them shine.

Therefore, after three hours, only three people entered the pending list, and there was not a single name on the approved list.

Ken Hirai, who was on the side, was very calm, and said, "This is normal. Those who have some ability to compose and write lyrics, or have great singing skills, have already made their debut through various channels. Will they come to our audition meeting? We hold The purpose of this audition session is also to dig out some rough stones that haven't shined yet."

"Well, what Kensang said makes sense." Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought so too.

"Hey, there is no way, there are still many people, let's continue." Yamada also sighed.

"Next person!"

The one who opened the door and came in was a girl with lowered head, wearing a peaked cap, dyed blond hair, and not tall.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi was originally sitting on the seat, spinning his pen in boredom, but after seeing the girl who came in, he realized that she looked familiar.

"Why do I feel like I've seen her before?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto murmured, looking at the girl in front of him.

Peaked cap, blonde hair, huh?
Kiyoshi Sakamoto remembered!
The first person I found myself at the venue just now was this girl with a peaked cap and dyed blond hair.

Although I can't see her appearance clearly, Kiyoshi Sakamoto remembers her outfit very clearly.

"Hmph, I still wanted to find you, but you came to the door on your own initiative." Sakamoto Kiyoshi gritted his teeth in his heart.

"Please introduce yourself." Yamada said.

"Hi." The girl with her head down, after hearing Yamada's words, first agreed, and then raised her head.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto stared at her very seriously, wanting to see what the girl who almost made him surrounded look like at the first time.

As a result, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was petrified when he saw the girl who raised her head.

"Is it such a coincidence?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi complained in his heart at this time.

"Hello, judges. I am Kana Nishino from Matsuzaka City, Mie Prefecture. I am 16 years old this year." The girl introduced herself to Kiyoshi Sakamoto while taking off her hat.

The person who came was Sony's future sister, Huanhuan, Kana Nishino!
