Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 174

The "underground" in the four characters of underground music refers to, unlike the mainstream commercial mechanism, it has its own performance venue, its own media, its own distribution channels, and its own audience. group.

This is a systematic cultural transmission and value world.

For example, underground bands have their own communication methods, performance venues, and their own audience. They release underground CDs, make posters, and issue performance notices.

This is a category different from that on the ground.

For bands on the ground, they have mainstream media promotion, radio and television, and release records and performances through formal channels.

And the current state of AKB48 belongs to the idol group in underground music.

No debut, no show, no major music company promotion, no broadcast media attention.

Yes, there are only performances held every day in the Don Quixote theater on the eighth floor.

Therefore, for the development of AKB, Yasushi Akimoto came up with the idea of ​​releasing an underground single to test the waters.

And the choice of songs for this single gave him a headache at first, because he just didn't have a suitable song in his hand.

However, when he saw the song "Petals of Cherry Blossom" that Kiyoshi Sakamoto gave him some time ago, he suddenly felt that this was the song he wanted.

So, I immediately asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto, can this song be released as AKB48's first single in the form of an underground single?

Sakamoto Kiyoshi was also a little surprised when he received a call from Akimoto Yasushi.

But what surprised me was not the call from Yasushi Akimoto, but the track of history.

Unexpectedly, after he had snatched Akimoto Yasushi's "Cherry Blossom Petals", AKB's first single would become another song he had never heard before.

When I thought this song would not be released as the first underground single of AKB48, the track of history surprisingly brought this song to Yasushi Akimoto again. In the end, Yasushi Akimoto, like history, put This song was released as AKB48's first underground single.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who knew the news, also sighed, "The powerful correction power of history..."

However, this also contributed to Chiba Masaki becoming the producer of this single.

Because originally, Akimoto Yasushi thought, since "Sakura Petals" composed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto was used, the best result would be him as the producer of this single.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is filming a movie, cannot have time to be a producer, so Kiyoshi Sakamoto recommended his teammate, Yasushi Akimoto's disciple, Masaki Chiba, as the producer of this single.

Yasushi Akimoto, who felt somewhat guilty towards Kiyoshi Sakamoto, also agreed to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's request.

Therefore, Chiba Masaki became the music producer of AKB48's first single, "Sakura Petals" at the young age!
Of course, he is only in charge of the music of the single, such as recording, mixing, mastering, post-production and a series of creative work. The final say belongs to Yasushi Akimoto.

However, even so, Chiba Masaki was very excited when he received the news, and immediately sent a text message to his teammates.

That is the one that Kiyoshi Sakamoto received on set in the previous article.

Being a music producer has always been his goal and dream.

When I was in the band, because of the existence of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, each single production was decided by Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Sony Music Director Yamada Yuichi. He and Ogawa Shin could only offer opinions on the side.

And this time, as a music producer, he independently produced a single. Although it is an underground single, he said that he will do his best to produce this song well.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also called him, encouraged him a few words, and said that when the single was finished, he would treat him to dinner.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly looked forward to that day.

. . . . . .

After stepping into 2006, the filming of the film is slowly coming to an end.

Since joining the crew in November, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has traveled with the crew all over the filming locations in Tokyo in more than three months.

Compared with the life of a singer, the life of an actor may be more dull and boring.

When singers have no works to come out, they are all immersed in creating music, or appearing on shows and touring everywhere, and there are many other side jobs that can be done.

However, actors are not like that.

When actors have no work to come out, they basically rest, or they just go on a trip, and they don't have too many other things. It can be said that they are very free.

Still, that's just the life of an entertainer who's just an actor.

With the progress of the times, the boundaries between various professions in the entertainment industry have become more and more blurred.

No longer as before, comedians, models, idols, singers, and actors perform their duties and do their own things.

Now, it seems that singers can also act, idols can also act, and idols can be hosts. Conversely, actors can also act, actors can also go on variety shows, be regular guests, and actors can release records and become singers .

Gradually, more and more amphibious artists appeared in the entertainment industry, and even a lot of all-round artists appeared.

Almighty artist means an artist who has outstanding achievements in singing, acting, hosting, etc. However, now generally speaking, as long as he has outstanding achievements in singing and acting, he will be crowned the title of all-round artist .

It can be said that the most famous all-round entertainers are Kimura Takuya and Fukuyama Masaharu.

Both of them are almost the top male singers in terms of singing, whether they are individuals or groups; they are also accomplished artists in film and television dramas.

However, compared to Kimura Okami, the king of Japanese dramas, Masaharu Fukuyama's influence in film and television dramas is still a little tender.

The two are called the two male gods of Neon by the media and fans. Some people even jokingly said that the two equally divided all the female fans of Neon. It is conceivable how great the influence of the two is among women.

However, with Kimura's marriage, Masaharu Fukuyama slowly caught up.

Just when the public was watching this "clash of two kings" with enthusiasm, Kiyoshi Sakamoto appeared on the stage.

After just two years, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has become a new storm in the music world, and this storm is moving towards the film and television industry.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not satisfied with just making a difference in the music industry, he wants to follow in the footsteps of his teacher and become an all-round artist!

Moreover, looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's current momentum, the public believes that as long as there are no accidents, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will definitely become a top singer alongside Fukuyama and Kimura, and it is only a matter of time.

However, if you want to keep pace with the two of them, you must do a lot in the film and television industry. Only in this way can Sakamoto Kiyoshi turn this "two kings' struggle" into a "three kings' victory"

However, this is all in the future. Now, what Kiyoshi Sakamoto has to do is to finish the filming of his screen starring work "Death Note" seriously, and strive to make himself a hit in the film and television industry.

Before you know it, January has passed and February is drawing to a close. . .

From 15 years old to 16 years old, for Sakamoto Kiyoshi, there is not much change.

15 years old is the same as 16 years old, still can't drink alcohol, can't get married, and can't go to some romantic places. . .

However, in terms of changes, there is one that makes Sakamoto Kiyoshi interesting.

That is, the school grass selection of Dongda University came to an end in January of this year.

The champion is undoubtedly Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

However, this is the championship won when Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not sign up, did not perform on stage, and did not promote or canvass votes.

This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto look dazed when he learned that he had been "selected" as a senior student at the University of Tokyo.

Later, after being explained by classmates in his class, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew why he was elected as the University of Tokyo University even though he did not participate.

It turned out that when the selection was held, everyone thought that as long as Kiyoshi Sakamoto participated, he would definitely be the champion. Therefore, very few boys signed up for the competition.

But in the end, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not participate.

As a result, the girls of Dongda University felt very disappointed, but the boys were so excited that they were about to jump up.

In an instant, the number of applicants rose rapidly.

However, when the girls of the University of Tokyo saw the school grass candidates who entered the semi-finals this year, they were disappointed, because after seeing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's handsome face, and then looking at these four "crooked melons and split dates", Suddenly feel indifferent.

In the end, under the appeal of the girls from the University of Tokyo, even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not participate, he could still be elected as the school grass, after all, his advantages are so great.

Finally, for this reason, the girls in the whole school even came up with a vote.

After voting, more than 80.00% of the girls in the school believed that even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not sign up, he could still become a school girl.

Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was like this, winning without a fight, and became the Nth East University Colonel.

However, because of this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has also become the "public enemy" of the boys at Tokyo University!
When he heard this story, Sakamoto Kiyoshi just mourned for three seconds for the four buddies who entered the candidates, and then couldn't help laughing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but I think it's too tragic, these buddies."

"Hahaha..."

After experiencing such a funny life adjustment, finally, on February 2th, Kiyoshi Sakamoto ushered in his last scene in "Death Note".

This is a scene in the second part where Ye Shenyue talks to Rem, the god of death, in her room.

Of course, Rem's CG was not added until post-production.

This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's one-man show.

"Will a god of death who falls in love with humans die?"

"Hehe, nice story"

Facing the air, Sakamoto Kiyoshi spoke the last two lines.

"OK!"

With supervisor Shusuke Kaneko's "OK", Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who played "Yakamizuki", officially finished filming!
