Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 91

The process of the signing event went very quickly. After all, the handshake event, a god-like model of selling CDs, had not yet been created by Akimoto Yasushi, and the handshake event was not so effective for men's groups.

All the three of THE SUN need to do is to sign their names on the cover of the CD and add a few words of blessing.

It's that simple.

But because too many people came to the autograph session, signing such a small amount of work will gradually become a very painful action for the wrist.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the signing session had already started for three and a half hours.

According to the staff who counted the number of people who entered the venue, so far, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the others have signed nearly a thousand CDs. In this way, it takes 12 seconds for each fan to sign and talk in front of Kiyoshi Sakamoto. .

At this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought about the despair of those fat houses being pushed by the staff in seconds when the future popular girl groups such as AKB and Nogizaka held a handshake meeting.

Fortunately, THE SUN, as a boy group, does not have so many rules like female idols. I want to shake hands with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, OK; I want a hug, okay, as long as I am a girl; autographs and blessings, etc., no problem La.

Therefore, every fan who comes up with a CD to get autographs and hugs will have so much time to communicate face-to-face with their idols.

However, even though a thousand single CDs have been signed and sold, the fans and fans who came to the signing event are still queuing up in front of the third son of THE SUN.

Uncle Ishida went down to look at the line outside Tower Records, how many people are still waiting in line, waiting to come up to see Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the others.

Uncle Ishida came back and brought a piece of news about Kiyoshi Sakamoto who didn't know whether to laugh or cry, that is, the line at Tower Records has not shortened at all with the passage of time, on the contrary, it has become more long.

This news shows that the appeal and attractiveness of THE SUN still has a high popularity and influence during the nearly half-year record window.

But at the same time, it is said that the signing event of the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi will take a long time to end.

"My God, I'm starving to death, uncle, how long do we have to rest?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi is in the development stage at this age, and he eats a lot. Feel the hunger pangs.

What's more, it has been four hours since Sakamoto's early morning meal time.

"A 10-minute break." Uncle Ishida had already memorized the itinerary of the past few days in his mind, so when Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked about the break time, blurting out was the perfect answer.

"What about the bento? Have you ordered it? I want to eat beef rice bowl!!! The big one!!!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately reported to Uncle Ishida what food he wanted to eat.

"I want eel rice, thank you uncle." Xiao Chuan really heard the food, and also said a word from his mouth softly.

"Then, I want a rice bowl with pork chops, thank you uncle! By the way, uncle, bring me an apple." After a while of struggle, Masaki Chiba still said what he wanted to eat.

The three members of THE SUN are all very familiar with Uncle Ishida. In private, they all call this manager "Uncle" and "Uncle".

Uncle Ishida is also very happy. In his opinion, this is the performance of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the others being close to him.

After all, as the most important person around the artist, the manager knew almost everything about the artist under him. There was no need for such a person to fall out with him, not to mention that Uncle Ishida was so kind to the three of them.

"OK, I got it. I'll call and order right away. You guys just keep going." Uncle Ishida took a small notebook and wrote down what the three of them wanted to eat one by one. Then, he walked to the side and typed Went to order by phone.

The three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi continued to return to the signings.

Say hello, take the CD, sign it, say a few words, and say goodbye.

After a few hours, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the others had already mastered this set of movements.

Last year's two singles, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's debut single and THE SUN's debut single, did not hold a signing event.

Because at the beginning, Sony was afraid that Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN had just debuted and would not have much appeal. It would be embarrassing if no one came to the signing event, so they just went to Otonan MS and HEY3.

But what happened later caused Sony's propaganda department to be scolded miserably.

Because both Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN, who became popular as soon as they debuted, have achieved amazing results, which is not what they thought at all, and they have no appeal.

So seeing the popular Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN here, Sony executives thought that if the signing event was held in the first place, maybe the single would sell even better.

As a result, Sony's publicity department, who had learned to behave well this time, made a plan and date for the single promotional event of the signing event.

As for the first stop Tower Records, the arrival of so many people also shows that now THE SUN has become a new star in the RB music scene.

It's just difficult for the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, this is the first time for the three of them to participate in the signing event, and they are completely unprepared.

Time passed slowly in the communication between THE SUN's third son and the fans.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, break time.

The three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi finally broke free from their own signatures.

The three of them touched their sore wrists and their aching waists from sitting for a long time. In the lounge prepared for them by Tower Records, they ate the ordered bento with big mouthfuls.

However, the too short rest time did not allow the three of them to finish the bento slowly and happily.

Within 10 minutes, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the others first finished the bento as quickly as possible, and then went to the toilet to relieve their three urgencies.

Before Masaki Chiba gnawed on his favorite apple, the three of them were about to participate in the signing event again.

The busy work of an artist is not as beautiful and beautiful as it seems on the surface. The more popular an artist is, the worse his physical condition is, because behind the glamor, there are side effects of irregular meals, lack of sleep, and lack of energy.

Want to be popular, but don't want to work, dreaming!
How can such a good thing happen in real life.

. . .

At six o'clock in the afternoon, because the number of fans who came to participate in the signing was much larger than expected, the following fan communication time was shortened by a few seconds.

Even so, the third son of THE SUN almost got rid of all the autographs, so he managed the first autograph session.

Yes, it's just the first session of the autograph session.

Sony's publicity plan for THE SUN this time includes not only the signing event, fan meeting, but the most important publicity is the music station.

Music station, as Kiyoshi Sakamoto's first music band, has some significance.

And Mr. Tamori, after knowing THE SUN released a new single this time, he specially called Sakamoto Kiyoshi and asked him to bring THE SUN to the music station to play songs.

Mr. Tamori has already spoken, how could Kiyoshi Sakamoto refuse such a kind offer?

Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi agreed immediately without notifying the company.

Of course, the Sony executives who knew about it afterwards did not care about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's refusal to notify their superiors at all, but highly praised Kiyoshi Sakamoto's decisive decision.

Because being able to catch up with Tamori, one of the BIG3 in the funny world, will definitely be very helpful to the development of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and THE SUN, and the more popular Sakamoto Kiyoshi and THE SUN are, the more Sony will earn.

Therefore, Sony knew that when Kiyoshi Sakamoto promised Tamori that he would bring the band to the music station, he was also very supportive.

But Tamori also told Kiyoshi Sakamoto a piece of news, that is, in this issue of music station, among the guests, there is a combination that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is very familiar with.

岚！
THE SUN wants to compete with his opponent Lan on the same stage. On the stage of the music station, they will fight head-on.

This is also a gimmick created by TV Asahi in response to the current hot debate in the society. It invites the two groups that are facing each other to come up, so as to boost the ratings and gain popularity by the way.

The hot topic recently is two popular groups, THE SUN band, and Lan, which single sales are better. . .

And Sony Records behind the two, Johnny's & Associates, who will win this duel?
These are all things in the entertainment industry that the public has paid more attention to recently.

Entertainment is all around.isn't it?

. . .

March 27, Sunday, Sunday.

After a few days of signing, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi are already very proficient in the process of the signing, and they will not be like the first one. After returning home, their hands are sore. Ice, so that the hand will not be swollen like a pig's trotter the next day.

However, the few days of publicity activities are still very effective. According to the reports from Sony staff stationed in Tokyo, various large and small record stores, within four days of release, THE SUN's single "PLANET" has sold 18 open! ! !
This result maintains the strength of the first single.

In the face-to-face confrontation with Lan, there is a lot of pressure, but it is also an opportunity.

It is precisely because Lan, such a male idol group that has debuted for six years and has a wide fan base, can make THE SUN band get more attention and let more people know THE SUN. Very talented, nice songs, and handsome band.

However, on the other side, Lan's four-day sales volume was less than THE SUN's.

15 million.

Although the difference was only [-], in any case, in the first four days, THE SUN won a small game.

The Lan in this period is not the Lan after [-], and the current Lan is just beginning to rejuvenate.

However, on this day, Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned from the company that Arashi will be starring in the audio show "New Tangben Brothers" hosted by Johnny's Brothers and KinKi Kids.

Also, that is tomorrow, Monday, Sunday.

I heard that Lan will also appear in the short play of "SMAPxSMAP", which is also hosted by her own big brother group SMAP.

Leaving aside "New Cousin Brothers", let's take "SMAPxSMAP" as an example. As the SMAP titled program of the RB National Sky Group, it has had a super high ratings for 1996 years since its broadcast on April 4, 15.

Those who can be on this show will be some very popular, popular artists, and there is no lack of international superstars. Even national leaders have been on this show before, so you know how popular this show is in RB.

"Jennis, start working hard." This was Kiyoshi Sakamoto's only thought after hearing the news.

　Ask for tickets, ask for rewards, ask for anything! ! !
