Chapter 321 Band Concert

July 2007, 7 was a sunny day.

It is the third anniversary of the debut of the rock band THE SUN under Sony Music.

It is also the day when THE SUN band's [-]rd anniversary concert is held.

Just like Kiyoshi Sakamoto's [-]rd anniversary concert, the venue for the concert was Dongdan.

Tickets for the concert started pre-sale one month before the concert.

Except for the [-] tickets to be placed in the official fan club and other lottery activities, the remaining [-] tickets were all sold out within a few minutes of the pre-sale.

It can be seen from this that, as the head of the new generation of bands, THE SUN's super popularity is so scary.

Fifty-five thousand Dongdan is not so easy to fill. . .

In just three years since their debut, they have already gathered a certain amount of popularity and national popularity, stabilizing their status as a first-class band.

This kind of achievement is already an astonishing speed of becoming famous. You must know that the groups or groups that debuted in the same period, NEWS with the backing of Johnny's office, and Guanba, can only be in the Johnny's New Year's Eve concert. Dongdan's debut is still far from singing alone in Dongdan. . .

And other singers who debuted at the same time, including Kimura KAELA, who will be called "one of the four great singers of the new century" in the future, and Otsuka Ai, who will be called "one of the nine great singers of Ai Hui", have not yet A chance to be on the East Egg.

However, THE SUN's limelight in the music world was more or less robbed by a group that debuted two years later than them.

That is KAT-TUN.

This group has not made their debut yet, and they sang alone in Dongdan. It can be said that in the current Japanese music scene, the new generation of popular groups is second only to THE SUN.

However, in the duel of singles and albums between the two groups, THE SUN band led by Kiyoshi Sakamoto has always been on top of KAT-TUN.

. . .

At five o'clock in the afternoon, a long queue had already formed outside the gate of Dongdan, waiting to enter.

After getting free aids and light sticks at the door, the audience also entered in an orderly manner, the largest indoor performance venue in Tokyo.

It took a full two hours to check the tickets before the 5000-strong spectators filled up the East Egg seats.

At 07:30 in the evening, the concert officially started.

The third anniversary concert of THE SUN this time is not like Kiyoshi Sakamoto's third anniversary concert of his personal debut. Before the concert started, the special guests of this concert were announced in advance.

This time, the lineup of guests is kept secret.

The audience who came to watch the concert only knew that there were three groups of guests, but they didn't know the identities of the guests.

This is also Sakamoto Kiyoshi's proposal.

The audience didn't know the identity of the special guest, so they came to watch the show with greater expectations and curiosity.

And when special guests come on stage, there will be even more enthusiastic reactions.

Standing at the backstage of the concert, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was on standby, saw Dongdan, which was full of people and all seats were filled. Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned his head and said to his teammates with a smile.

"Look, this is the person who came to listen to our singing today." Kiyoshi Sakamoto said, stretching out his palm with the palm facing up, "Let's use music to cheer up with these 5 people!"

Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki looked at each other with a smile, and both put their hands on Sakamoto Kiyoshi's.

"one two Three!"

"Daddy!"

The three hands were raised simultaneously and raised towards the sky.

"Why do I feel this scene is so familiar..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto muttered to himself.

By the way, three years ago, at the cultural festival of Sunrise High School, the three people who had just formed a band cheered in the same way before their performances.

It was the same when I participated in the Fuji Rock Festival. . .

The same goes for the Summer Sonic festival. . .

Unknowingly, before some large-scale performances, it has become the habit of THE SUN band to fold their hands together and then lift them into the air together.

With no time to recall the past, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was full of thoughts, picked up the guitar, and led Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki to the stage of Dongdan, leaving only three handsome figures. . .

. . .

In the darkness, the three of THE SUN appeared in the center of the stage.

While the audience was still wondering when THE SUN would come out, Kiyoshi Sakamoto held the rocking microphone in front of him, pointed his lips to the microphone, and shouted passionately.

"Minasang!"

Snapped!
The place where Sakamoto Kiyoshi stood was illuminated by countless spotlights, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi's figure also appeared in front of the public.

Along with this familiar voice, there was also the figure of Sakamoto Kiyoshi who appeared in the center of the stage and under the spotlight.

The whole Dongdan is like being in a boiling hot pan, put a drop of oil, and it boils all of a sudden!

"Sakamoto-kun!!"

"Auntie washes the railway! KIYO-kun!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Compared with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's personal music audience, which is mainly concentrated in young girls, the music audience of THE SUN band is wider. In addition to the large group of young girls, there are many men, women and children of other age groups.

However, the female fans of male singers and the male fans of female singers are still the most fanatical part, and the main force of screaming and calling are generally these people. . .

The constant screams and cheers made Kiyoshi Sakamoto, standing under the spotlight, involuntarily close his eyes and open his hands, enjoying the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Wow!!"

Seeing his idol's pretentious behavior, the fans in the audience became even more excited and couldn't stop screaming. The red light sticks in their hands were constantly waving, making the whole Dongdan into a scene. A nebula-like scene.

A few seconds later, Kiyoshi Sakamoto opened his eyes and looked at the sea of ​​red that had been connected together. He smiled and said into the microphone.

"Then, let us become one in the music!!!"

"Hoohooho!!"

The audience also responded loudly to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Following Sakamoto Kiyoshi's order, the lights of the entire stage suddenly lit up.

Masaki Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, who stood beside and behind Kiyoshi Sakamoto, also appeared in front of the audience.

"Ogawa-kun!!"

"Chiba-kun!!"

The voices calling the names of the two also echoed in the venue.

At this moment, amidst the cheers of the audience, Kiyoshi Sakamoto swept across the guitar strings with his slender fingers.

A crisp guitar sound came from Dongdan's advanced audio equipment.

In an instant, the audience seemed to be strangled by the neck, and the cheers and shouts in their mouths stopped abruptly. The audience was afraid that their cheers would wake up the prince who was playing the guitar. . .

The familiar guitar prelude made the Dongdan audience think of the name of a song in their hearts.

"PLANET"!
"What to do? Just do it"

"Well, can I still talk to you now?"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's gradually mature voice, when he sang this song of unrequited love after two years, compared with two years ago, he added a lot of freedom and relief.

The lazy voice brought more than 5 people in Dongdan into a mood that was about to send away their beloved. . .

Especially in the chorus part, the originally lazy voice suddenly became much sadder, which reminded the audience of their unrequited love.

"do not say goodbye"

"Today I'm going to start off your track"

"Watching you till the end"

"Because I will be separated from you forever"

"I decided to leave your world, and gradually deviated from your track, but I still hope that you can be happy."

The meaning of this song is so sad.

Such a sad song, as the opening of the concert, is also Kiyoshi Sakamoto's decision.

He felt that instead of starting with "Flower" full of positive energy, and then putting "PLANET" in the middle of the concert, it would be better to sing "Planet" first and then sing "Flower". Yang, first sorrow and then joy, make it easier for the audience to accept.

And judging from the style of the song, "PLANET" is a relatively flat, light-hearted, comfortable and moving song, while "Flower" is a song with a brisk tune, full of vitality, and a song that starts and ends.

To put it simply, let the faint appetizer "Planet" wake up the ears of the audience, and then slowly present one after another local dishes, such as "Flower", "Bud" and so on. The song completely heats up the atmosphere of the entire East Egg!

The distribution of songs at the concert is also a kind of knowledge. . .

A few minutes later, under the sound of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's guitar, the song "PLANET" ended perfectly.

Under a burst of applause, the three of THE SUN did not intend to stop playing, but played the next song without stopping, which was included in the band's first album "THE SUN", "Pu To Moon"の话》.

"A Cool Breeze Blows"

"I'm crying"

"It will be easier, won't it?"

"Talk to the Moon"

"It's not just about talking"

. . .

After singing four songs in a row, the trio of THE SUN stopped playing and began to chat with the audience, buying some rest time for themselves, and leaving a special note for the first special guest who will appear next. The time to get ready to play.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood in the center of the stage, his temple hair was soaked with sweat because he was singing and dancing.But he didn't pay attention to it, but took the shaking mic and said excitedly to the more than 5 audience in the audience, "Are you curious about who is the special guest of our concert? "

"Yes!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto nodded in satisfaction with the neat and consistent answers, and continued.

"Then let me announce to you the first of the special guests tonight!"

With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the entrance of the stage behind him, Kiyoshi Sakamoto introduced loudly.

"Use your warmest applause to welcome, my junior sister, Sony's diva"

"Nishino Kana!"

　I haven't been in a good state recently, and I haven't been writing smoothly. . .
