Chapter 192 AKB Status Quo
Inside the theater, in the AKB practice room.

"It's really not what you think, it's just a friendly hug! Masaki-kun and I are really not gay!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked anxiously at the girls of AKB and explained desperately.

However, judging from the dubious expressions on the faces of the girls, they somewhat distrusted Kiyoshi Sakamoto's explanation.

Let's go back in time to 10 minutes ago.

In the corner of the backstage, the two "gay guys" who were embracing were witnessed by the girls of AKB.

This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaki Chiba instantly stunned.

At this point in time, everything that happened was too coincidental, causing Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki to not react at all.

As for seeing the familiar "Chiba-kun", whom I often meet, the very gentle and handsome "Chiba-kun", actually embraced a man in a peaked cap. At that moment, there were a few girls who had ulterior motives for Masaki Chiba , The heart is like glass, it "crackled" and shattered to the ground all at once.

And when Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned his head, the girls who saw the true face of the man in the cap were shocked.

The rest of the girls whose hearts were not shattered like glass, at this time, after seeing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's face, were also shattered.

At that moment, they all had one thought in their hearts.

"Why are handsome people gay?!"

Why did they see Kiyoshi Sakamoto's face?Isn't he wearing a mask?
This is because, in order to talk to Chiba Masaki just now, Sakamoto took off his mask early in the morning. . .

Otherwise, Kiyoshi Sakamoto could still fish in troubled waters.

However, the current situation is that the AKB girls who saw this scene all looked back and forth between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaki Chiba with weird eyes, as if they wanted to see through their eyes. same inner world.

Even after Kiyoshi Sakamoto explained with a serious face that the two were not in that kind of relationship, the eyes of the girls restrained a little, otherwise, the eyes of the girls. . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, was a little scared by these girls.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

He took the opportunity to answer the phone and walked out of the practice room, leaving Chiba Masaki alone, being "interrogated" by the girls.

"Chiba-kun, are you really not gay?" Kojima Haruna, who was the same age as Chiba Masaki, looked at Chiba Masaki with a cute expression.

"Really not, I swear!" Over the past few months, Chiba, who has become very familiar with AKB's girls, looks like a gentle big brother to girls younger than her, but, When facing girls who are the same age as him, or even older than him, he always has a look of acceptance. . .

Especially in front of a girl like Kojima Haruna, who has a natural stupid attribute, but is shivering in her heart, he is even more helpless.

Therefore, when he heard Kojima Haruna's words, Chiba Masaki was afraid that he would be misunderstood, so he immediately said firmly, and stretched out three fingers to express his oath.

"Hey, that Sakamoto-kun, isn't it..." On the other hand, Ah-chan, Maeda Atsuko, was obviously paying attention to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, not Chiba Masaki.

"That...probably not." However, Chiba Masaki, who was swearing categorically a second ago, became hesitant at this moment.

This kind of performance made the AKB girls who had beautiful fantasies about the music producer who had never met before, the "national boy god" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, feel half cold in their hearts.

"Is Sakamoto-kun really..."

All the girls suddenly became very sad, and felt a little sad in their hearts. They felt sad that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was such a handsome guy, but he was actually a gay guy. They were sad that they had no chance to meet him. . .

"Ahahahaha!!!"

A sudden burst of laughter made all the girls in AKB look towards the source of the sound.

Like the girls, Chiba Masaki was sitting on the floor of the practice room, and at this moment, he was hugging his stomach and laughing.

"Ah ha ha... ha ha... I laughed to death..."

At this time, the girls who realized that Chiba Masaki was teasing them also looked at each other, and then rushed up, surrounded Chiba Masaki, and "beat up".

And when Kiyoshi Sakamoto came back from the phone call, he pushed open the door of the practice room, and what he saw was Masaki Chiba with messy hair and clothes. . .

"The takeaway I ordered for you has arrived in the lounge, what are you... doing? Why did Masaki look like this?"

No one answered Sakamoto Kiyoshi's question. After hearing Sakamoto Kiyoshi say the word "takeaway", all the girls in AKB first collectively bowed to Sakamoto Kiyoshi and thanked Sakamoto Kiyoshi. Then, they immediately turned into horses that hadn't eaten for a long time. The hungry wolf rushed out towards the practice room.

Only the ravaged Masaki Chiba was left, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto who looked bewildered.

"Did I go to the wrong room?"

. . . . . .

This is what Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki came to the lounge together.

The table was covered with all kinds of food, some were leftovers, some were eaten clean, and drink bottles were also placed on the table.

And the AKB girls who have already eaten and drank are all full of wine and food, sitting in the chair motionless, almost with a toothpick in their mouth.

The corner of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's mouth twitched, feeling that this style of painting was a bit wrong.

I don't know why, the girls of AKB quickly became one with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who sent condolences.

It may be because of his handsomeness and lack of airs, or his warm and bright smile. Some of the girls are very curious about this music producer who has only met once in the final selection, and some are very curious. The eyes of idols, but it is undeniable that they have no resistance to this handsome guy.

After getting Sakamoto Kiyoshi's permission, everyone quickly called "Sakamoto-kun". . .

Looking at the girls of AKB TEAM A, Atsuko Maeda, Minami Takahashi, and Haruna Kojima, these immature faces, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's thoughts drifted away.

AKB48, a female idol group founded by Yasushi Akimoto, has recruited members for two rounds since December last year.

TEAM A members, 21 people; TEAM K, 19 people, add up to a large group of 40 people.

However, only the members of TEAM A, that is, the first-year students, and one [-]-year student, Shinoda Mariko, performed in the theater today.

Speaking of Shinoda Mariko, this older sister was originally selected for the final selection of the first-term students, but she was not selected by Akimoto Yasushi.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was a judge at the time, had no intention of changing the original trajectory of AKB for the sake of Mariko Shinoda.

In his opinion, Mariko Shinoda would definitely be promoted to AKB by Yasushi Akimoto anyway, so why bother. . .

Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not speak well of her in front of Akimoto Yasushi.

Sure enough, although some minor changes have been made, the history of AKB has not changed much.

A-chan was still taken by Yasushi Akimoto, for her unique idol temperament, and for her to be the ACE that will lead AKB to the top.

Although the center of the first underground single "Cherry Blossom Petals" is Minami Takahashi, and Maeda is only a selection member in the back row, but Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned from Masaki Chiba that Yasushi Akimoto is often in front of his subordinates , praised Maeda.

During this period, Ah-chan, like a child, was very happy, and at the same time curiously, enjoying the life of this new character.

Idol, the meaning of this word, the current Ah-chan definitely doesn’t know it. To put it bluntly, I just don’t think about it at all.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that after Ah-chan was promoted to the center, she would start to shoulder the burden that did not match her age.

However, at that time, it may be AKB's fourth single.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto probably remembers that Ah-chan became the center of AKB's fourth official single "BINGO!".

Counting it down, it will probably be next year.

The current AKB has gradually gained the popularity of otaku in Akihabara after the theater was sold out for the first time in February. Now, basically, every day’s performances are full, and even the drink shops outside the theater are unable to buy tickets because of a large number of people. For the nerds who went in, the business was very good.

However, that is limited to TEAM A's performance.

During the performance of TEAM K, the number of audiences entering the venue was much smaller than that of the predecessors of TEAM A. It has not yet achieved the first full-stacked theater. However, looking at the current increase in the number of audiences, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can know that, Soon, TEAM K's first sold-out performance will come.

As a female idol group founded less than half a year ago, although they have not yet released their first official single and made their debut in the mainstream market, the sales of their first underground single "Sakura Petals" Looking at it, Sakamoto Kiyoshi feels that he has somewhat changed the history of AKB in its early days.

Seventy thousand!
This is the sales volume of AKB's first underground single so far.

Such a good result made Akimoto Yasushi burst into laughter.

You know, this is a self-produced underground single that has not been promoted by the mainstream media, and there is no activity. Part of the credit for selling so much should be credited to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto's name is clearly printed on the single cover of "Sakura Petals".

Composer: Kiyoshi Sakamoto
Lyricist: Sakamoto Kiyoshi
Also, although Kiyoshi Sakamoto was still in the crew of "Notes" during the production of this single, he still promoted AKB's first single through his personal blog.

This also made his fans somewhat curious about this new female idol group.

Also because of this, AKB's starting road is a little easier than in the original history.

"Oh, I accidentally changed a little bit of history..."
