Chapter 90 THE SUN Signing Event ([-])
I wondered if I was Chiba Masaki who joined the wrong band, and wanted to quit. There were narcissists and tsundere men in this group, but it was too late. . .

I got on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's pirate ship and wanted to run, it doesn't exist.

After catching up with Makoto Ogawa, Kiyoshi Sakamoto used his status as a senior to hug Ogawa's neck to prevent him from resisting, and then rubbed his scalp violently with a hand knife, making Makoto Ogawa, a calm man, scream .

After letting out a sigh of relief, Kiyoshi Sakamoto then walked back, pulled Masaki Chiba who was still thinking about quitting the band, and the three of them walked to the fourth floor of Tower Records.

Tower Records is a large record shop located in a building, from the second floor of the building to the sixth floor, all selling records.

Divided by floors according to J POP, OST, ROCK, JAZZ, CLASSICAL, the second floor is J POP monopoly, the third floor is OST, the fourth floor is the destination of THE SUN band’s signing event, the ROCK exclusive area, and the fifth floor is Jazz, the sixth floor is classical.

THE SUN band, first of all, is a rock band, followed by an idol.

This company's positioning is completely consistent with the self-positioning of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the others.

In RB, the word idol is not so simple.

Before the 90s, the word idol was equivalent to beauty, purity, and positiveness.

But Yasushi Akimoto brought his Kitten Club, a girl group composed of plain people who can no longer be plain. Singing out of tune and dancing are commonplace, but under the indiscriminate bombardment of the media. , Red, redder than anyone else.

The works of kittens, related spin-off groups, and solo members basically occupied the ORICON from the second half of 86 to the first half of 87 (accounting for 52 weeks of champions out of the overall 36 weeks).

It is conceivable that the Kitten Club was completely invincible at its peak.

The Kitten Club, which was only popular for a few years, was disbanded in 1987.

But it was such a short-lived girl group that made the word idol, from then on, change its flavor.

Who were the idols before the Kitten Club?

Momoe Yamaguchi, Seiko Matsuda, Kyoko Koizumi, Hiroko Yakushimaru, Akina Nakamori! ! !

Each of them has been pulled out so far with a shiny name!

But when the Kitten Club came out, everything changed.

The name idol has become a double-edged sword, which can not only cover up your temporarily inferior strength, but also erase all your hard work.

No matter how hard you try, you are just an idol.

Idol has become a somewhat derogatory classification of entertainers, and has become one of the lowest status in the entertainment industry.

And at this critical juncture in 2005, the female idol circle is already showing a trend of rising together.

This is because the hegemony of Good Morning is no longer caused.

Morning Musume, a female idol group that debuted in 1997, reached its peak between 2000 and 2002.

However, due to the resignation of the president, the reform of the new president, and a large number of changes in members, this once glorious idol group began to decline. From 2004 to 2005, that is, now, it lost the female idol circle. supremacy.

Therefore, the major brokerage firms who saw this piece of fat started to create their own "Morning Family" this year.

That's why Yasushi Akimoto, who has a unique vision, started his Akihabara project at this juncture.

And in the future, AKB, which will be called "RB music cancer" and "National Women's Team", was born this year, at such a time when the era was handed over, under the hands of Akimoto Yasushi.

But male idols are not the same as female idols. Male idols in Genisi have already formed a unique system in the circle.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto launched by Sony, and THE SUN band with him as the core, are not male idols in essence, but singers with various characteristics of idols and more musical talents than idols.

In the eyes of music critics and the media, both Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN are idols, but in the eyes of real musicians, this biased view insults both Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN.

They are just singers with all the characteristics of idols, more talented and promising than idols; they are also more popular and sought after than singers.

This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN.

This feeling is very similar to the early Kimura.

Kimura is a precedent for an individual to become popular first, and then lead a group to become popular.

The same goes for Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

The difference is that Kimura uses his invincible influence in Japanese TV dramas to attract public attention to his SMAP.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, on the other hand, used his talented musical talent, extremely warm voice, and handsome face to appear in front of the world like a whirlwind, thereby bringing his own influence to THE SUN. .

The two feel very similar, but completely different.

But now Kimura and his SMAP are still in full swing, while Sakamoto Kiyoshi and his THE SUN have just started their journey.

And the first stumbling block was Lan.

Only after defeating Lan, is he qualified to challenge RB's first-day team SMAP.

After the three arrived at the ROCK exclusive area on the fourth floor, they saw a long table and three chairs at the entrance, waiting for the arrival of the owner.

At the entrance, there are posters of THE SUN band on the left and right sides, some are single cover posters, and some are posters of the three alone or together.

The three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi just sat there, signed autographs, or shook hands with fans, and said a few words, although it was simple, it was not easy.

Because there were so many people here, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had been looking around outside for a week just now, did not expect that there would be so many fans coming today. It seems that after this signing event, his hands will be useless. . .

Outside the Tower Records building, several corridors were crowded with fans who came to sign autographs. The staff had no choice but to add several corridors for safety.

There are people of all ages and walks of life in the team, but most of them are young people and women.

After all, the three sons of THE SUN are all handsome guys.

And because there were too many people, in order to make it easier for fans to buy singles and get numbers, and sign autographs for Sakamoto and Kiyoshi, the person in charge of Tower Records came up with a good idea.

It is to put the single sales office on the first floor.

In this way, fans who come to Tower Records can buy THE SUN's single CD on the first floor, get the number, and then go up to the fourth floor in order to find the signature of THE SUN's third son.

This not only avoids the lack of space on the fourth floor, which is prone to accidents, but also facilitates the staff and fans.

But it's just a bit far away. I bought a CD on the first floor, and I had to go to the fourth floor to meet the third son of THE SUN and get an autograph.

But in the eyes of fans, this is not a problem.

Many fans came to line up with backpacks on their backs.

why?
Because these people came here to line up as early as last night.

The bags are full of things for queuing up all night. There are food to solve the hunger, folding beds to solve the problem of sleeping, and comics to solve the boring problem.

I have to sigh, the enthusiasm of these fans for chasing stars.

At 10:30 in the morning, THE SUN's second single "PLANET", the first signing event, officially started at the Tower Records store in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Every fan is lined up in an orderly manner. First, enter the first floor of Tower Records from the outside line. At the singles sales office, after buying a CD, take a number plate with a number and walk up to the fourth floor. Go, find your idol, sign it.

The third son of THE SUN, sitting on a chair, wrote autographs for the fans who had come to sign their single CDs one by one, and attached a few words of blessing. The scene was harmonious.

Some female fans also proposed to shake hands with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi also satisfied them one by one.

After all, they are all girls. Touch your own hand, why is it dripping. . .

Of course, as members of THE SUN, Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki also have their own fan groups. Not only fans ask for a handshake, but this kind of ordinary request, I came here to meet a female fan of Ogawa Masaki, and actually asked Ogawa Masaki, Smile. . .

Smile? ? ! !

are you kidding me? ? ?

"How dare you call Xiao Chuan, a man with facial paralysis, just laugh, you are impatient to live, girl!" When Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki saw a girl who was at most 15 years old and made their request, both of them were shocked. With a "girl, you are still too young" expression on his face, he was ready to see how Xiao Chuan would respond.

However, what happened next made the two of them almost drop their jaws in fright.

Ogawa really smiled, although in the eyes of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki, it was just a twitch of the corner of his mouth, which was not a smile at all. . .

But for that girl, it was a big surprise. On the show, performing, and taking pictures, Xiao Chuanzhen, who had a cold and paralyzed face, actually smiled at herself. . .

smiled to myself. . .

I laughed myself. . .

I laughed. . .

Laughed. . .

Already. . .

In the end, the girl who lost her soul happily walked out of Tower Records with the help of the staff.

"Scary, what happened today? Why is it so strange? Usually, he doesn't have any opinion on my handsomeness, but today he said such shameless words. Not only that, although the girl is good, she doesn't make him laugh. One, he just laughed, did he eat something wrong today?"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt very curious, sat on the chair, turned his head to Masaki Chiba, and whispered to him.

"The breakfast I had with him today is nothing special, it's what we usually eat. But how could this happen?" Even Masaki Chiba, who lives with Masaaki Ogawa, doesn't know what happened today. Ogawa really, why is he so responsive.

"Because he is also a member of THE SUN." At this moment, Uncle Ishida, who had been standing behind the three of them, suddenly put his head between them and said.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki were startled by Uncle Ishida at first, but soon calmed down, sitting there quietly, thinking about what Uncle Ishida said.

"A member of THE SUN?"

It means that for the band THE SUN, are you willing to do things you don't want to do?

So you are such a real Ogawa. . .
