Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

"Sakaki-san, Kita Sumire's "Tonight's Moonlight Is So Beautiful" has completely surpassed you and is now ranked second on the weekly chart."

Sakaki's assistant hurriedly pushed the door open and reported the news to the other party.

"Oh?"

Sakaki Teruo raised his head and became alert after hearing this: "Has it surpassed?"

"Well, after Sakaki-san promoted Kita Sumire's new song in the magazine yesterday, the download volume of "Tonight's Moonlight Is So Beautiful" has been increasing all the way. In just one day, the download volume has skyrocketed by 50,000, and there is no sign of stopping."

The little girl who is the assistant paused when she said this, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

"But. Is this really okay? Sakaki-san?"

Most musicians would like their works to stay on the weekly chart for a few more days.

How come when it comes to Sakaki Teruo, it becomes an active promotion of competitors' works.

And because it made him slip from the original second place in the weekly chart to the third place now

Isn't this a loss for others?

However——

"It's nothing."

What the assistant girl didn't expect was that Teruo Sakaki just laughed carefreely.

"Anyway, the growth of "Tonight's Moonlight Is Beautiful" is not weak, so it's normal for me to be surpassed by the other party."

Yes.

Kita Sumi's "Tonight's Moonlight Is Beautiful" is growing rapidly. According to the other party's original speed, he will be surpassed by Kita Sumi in half a day at most.

So this is not something that needs to be paid special attention to.

"But." The assistant girl wanted to say more.

But Teruo Sakaki smiled and waved his hand to interrupt.

"I know what you want to say, but songs are like this. Good is good, bad is bad. I have been listening to the boy's "Tonight's Moonlight Is Beautiful" these days. To be honest, it is indeed a good song."

Teruo Sakaki not only has a bad impression of the idol boy group Green Apple Boys, but also has a certain doubt about Kita Sumi as a boy at the beginning.

Especially when he saw that Kita Sumi, a boy, rushed to the third place in the last week's list, this attitude deepened.

After all, the reputation of sub-actors in the music circle is similar to that of idol boy bands.

They are all characters who have no singing ability and rely mainly on their looks to make a living.

But this thought lasted until he frowned and clicked on "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful Tonight" and then disappeared.

It is hard to imagine that in this era where boy bands and girl bands are in vogue and sub-actors are mainly cute and adorable. There are actually sub-actors who can create such outstanding works.

The singing skills are very good, really good, and the skillful use of various techniques makes him unable to believe that this is the singing skills of a nine-year-old child.

Many singers in the industry may not have the singing skills of Kita Sumimi.

The song and lyrics are also very tasteful.

In addition, Kita Sumimi's clear and ethereal voice seems to have some kind of magic.

It only took a moment for Teruo Sakaki to fall.

"I like this song very much, and it is natural to promote songs I like."

Sakaki Teruo laughed, and then said: "It is actually my honor to lose to such an opponent, and I also want to see"

Speaking of this, Sakaki Teruo turned his head and looked at the Green Apple Boys Idol Group, which ranked first on the Oricon chart on his mobile phone.

To be honest, he has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and many of his songs can be regarded as frequent visitors to the Oricon chart.

For the first place on the Oricon chart, he actually does not have such a strong desire.

But

"Not having a strong desire does not mean that I have no temper."

Sakaki Teruo snorted.

Rather than watching the quality of the Green Apple Boys Idol Group's works continue to step on his head to get to the top.

It would be better for him to take the initiative to promote Kita Sumire's works.

At least he died in Kita Sumire's hands, and he was still honored in defeat.

As for the Green Apple Boys Idol Group?

Where did this rotten fish and shrimp come from?

Maybe this group of idols with dancing and singing and dancing looks okay.

But that belongs to the category of MV!

The quality of the single is not even close to that!

Rather than being stepped on by such a stinky bird egg.

It is better to let Kita Sumire step on his body to get to the top! Let them know what a song is!

Single digital album No. 1 on the Oricon chart?

Do you deserve it?

Sakaki Teruo couldn't help but snorted again, but then a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.

Although he did look down on idol boy and girl groups, thinking that they were just assembly line products made by investors.

But it is undeniable that.

Boy and girl groups are indeed very profitable.

An ordinary single CD with a "handshake ticket" or "date ticket" can be sold at a high price of two to three thousand yen. And there are fanatical fans to pay for it.

This is why investors are keen to continuously create idol groups.

Even if the idol profession has a short life cycle.

But when this batch is used up, it's no big deal to replace it with the next batch - they are products that can be manufactured continuously.

So.

Sakaki Teruo looked at Kita Sumire's "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful Tonight".

Even with his help, "The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight" was promoted.

But facing the fanatical fans who are crazy about their idols, "The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight" still has little hope of competing for the first place in the weekly chart.

After all, when it comes to the ability to "promote the charts" for idol groups, those fanatical fans are not inferior to anyone.

Sometimes it is a common practice for a person to buy more than a dozen albums.

And the singles of major music platforms can actually be purchased repeatedly - this is mainly to facilitate fans to support their favorite singers.

According to the rising trend of "The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight".

It will soon force those fanatical fans obsessed with idol groups.

If they really get serious, it is hard to say what the result will be.

"I can only say come on."

Teruo Sakaki silently cheered for Kita Sumire in his heart.

"The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight" is a good song, which was a classic song in the past.

It should never be defeated by the assembly line products hyped by the investors!

Why did Teruo Sakaki take the approach of "I killed myself".

Kita Sumire and Koji Tamura did not know.

But they could probably still imagine the reason.

Maybe this big guy couldn't stand being stepped on by the hot-eared idol boy group like Green Apple Man - anyway, he would die anyway, so he might as well send the higher quality single "The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight" to the top, which can be regarded as a glorious defeat.

With this idea in mind, Teruo Sakaki promoted Kita Sumire in a music magazine.

And the effect

"I didn't expect it to be so good."

Because Teruo Sakaki intervened, Kita Sumire has been paying attention to the Oricon chart from time to time today.

He almost watched "The Moon Is Beautiful Tonight" rush from the original 200,000 downloads to 250,000 downloads.

And now it has risen from 250,000 downloads to 280,000!

This terrifying growth rate.

Let "The Moon Is Beautiful Tonight" be just one step away from the 300,000 downloads of "WA" by the Green Apple male idol boy group in front

"Oh?!"

Kita Sumire was full of interest.

According to the growth trend of "The Moon Is Beautiful Tonight", if nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to poke the Green Apple Boys' butt off the first place in the weekly chart tonight.

This may be the first time in his life that he has won the first place in a music single.

Kita Sumire simply put down the script and prepared to guard the Oricon chart.

Let's see if "The Moonlight Tonight Is Beautiful" can surpass "WA" by the Green Apple Man in front after 12 o'clock tonight.

"Then I'll go to bed first, Minoru."

Kitasumi Ariha's face poked out from the door and greeted Kitasumi Minoru.

"Got it, Aunt Ariha."

Kitasumi Minoru responded.

Kitasumi Ariha is busy with the printing and publishing of her new book recently. She is taken around by Yamada Yuko, so it's natural for her to go to bed early.

After responding to Kitasumi Ariha.

Kitasumi Minoru just kept scrolling through her phone while watching the data of "The Moonlight Tonight Is Beautiful" go up all the way.

Until 11:36.

"Is this... surpassed?"

Looking at "The Moonlight Tonight Is Beautiful" which ranks first on the Oricon chart with 310,000 downloads, Kitasumi Minoru rubbed his eyes, a little unbelievable.

Originally, he thought that he would surpass the Green Apple Man around 12 o'clock in the evening.

But who would have thought?

There is still nearly half an hour before 12 o'clock.

"The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight" has surpassed the download volume and the number of reproductions.

The current weekly download volume of "The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight" is just over 310,000, and the number of reproductions has reached a terrifying 790,000 times.

However, "WA" by Green Apple Man seems to lack stamina, with download volume still around 300,000, and the number of reproductions is only a relatively meager 410,000 times.

It's just a bit strange.

Bei Chengshi raised his eyebrows.

He originally thought that he would attract the attention of Green Apple Man's fanatical fans and cause them to spend real money to "rank" their idol.

But the result.

"It's actually not the case at all."

After refreshing several times in a row, he found that the data of Green Apple Man's "WA" did not change much.

Bei Chengshi was a little skeptical about life.

What's going on?

Is Green Apple Man different from the idol boy group he imagined?

Is it the kind of boy group that does not have fanatical fans in a small circle?

Otherwise, this is unscientific.

He has been ridden in the face by his own data, but there is no movement over there.

If these were the fanatical fans who really voted for their idols, the data should have been up by now.

Did I blame them wrongly?

But

"Forget it."

Kitasumi shook his head.

Anyway, he is now the first.

Since the other party did not make any extra movements, it was a good thing for him.

After stretching hard, Kitasumi rubbed his eyes and yawned.

Although he has the physical strength and power of an adult, he is still a nine-year-old.

It's better not to stay up late.

Charge the phone.

Kitasumi crawled into the bed and closed his eyes.

Probably because he got the first place.

Kitasumi slept quite comfortably this time.

He slept until Tamura Koji called him urgently early in the morning, and Kitasumi suddenly came to his senses.

"Something bad is happening! Kitasumi-kun! Get up and check the Oricon chart and your personal homepage."

"Huh?"

The panic in Tamura Koji's voice made Kitasumi frown.

Oricon chart.? What happened?

Didn't he remember that he had surpassed Green Apple Man yesterday?

Could it be that someone was playing tricks on him?

Putting his phone in his hand, Bei Chengshi opened the Oricon list, and then he was stunned.

He saw that Green Apple Man, who was the second place yesterday and whose downloads showed a rather sluggish growth, had returned to the first place on the Oricon list.

And the first one with 540,000 downloads made even Kitaki Minoru couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

What the hell?

A sudden increase of 240,000 downloads in one night?

His "The Moon Is So Beautiful Tonight" only gained more than 20,000 downloads in one night.

And it's not over yet.

Following Tamura Koji's instructions, Kitazumi opened his personal homepage.

Originally peaceful, Minoru Kitazumi's personal updates were filled with curses from fans who occasionally posted outrageous comments.

Many people wantonly attacked Kitazumi and her followers under her personal updates.

Mainly for the song "The Moonlight Is So Beautiful Tonight".

It was said that Beicheng Mi lip-synched, but Ziyi could not have sung that well.

He also said that the composer and lyricist were not Kitazumi at all.

Some people commented that "The Moon Is So Beautiful Tonight" by Kitami Minori plagiarized other people's works, and listed a lot of "evidence" at the bottom.

The most exaggerated thing is that some people think that "The Moon Is So Beautiful Tonight" is a rubbish song and that Kitami Misumi has falsified the data. This kind of rubbish song is not qualified to step on the Green Apple Man and take the top spot.

In short, the most vicious words are carnival under the personal status of Kitazumi Minoru.

The thick stench was almost overwhelming.

Some of Kitami Minoru's followers looked at these intruders in confusion and were a little at a loss.

Although they also like Kitazumi Minoru, Kitazumi Minoru often expresses in his personal updates that they should not use his name under the personal homepages of other sub-commissioners.

So they are usually quite restrained.

Facing these extra 'attackers' who appeared overnight, they were still confused even though they had not yet organized an offensive.

Kitazumi glanced at his personal homepage twice, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"Our operations department has urgently contacted the operations of the Green Apple Boys Idol Group in the early morning. After all, these commenters who suddenly appeared are basically their fans."

The sound of Tamura Koji gritting his teeth came from the mobile phone.

".Is there any result?"

Raising his eyebrows, Kitumi asked in reply.

"The results have come out. They told us that this was all spontaneous behavior of fans, and they have no way to restrict the behavior of fans."

When he said this, Tamura Koji couldn't help but punch the table.

Damn it!

I originally thought that there wouldn't be any big moves from the Green Apple man.

Unexpectedly, I gave them a big blow!

Absolutely disgusting!

This is clearly to take advantage of the fact that they are extremely busy dealing with matters here and directly win the first place on the weekly list.

And the method is too dirty!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is impossible for Green Apple Man's data to surge by 240,000 in one night.

It could only be that fans spent money to rank.

After all, even with Teruo Sakaki's help in publicity and the external heat, Kitazumi only had an increase of 100,000 downloads.

"It's my problem, Beicheng-kun. If I could have noticed these problems earlier, I could have taken preventive measures in advance."

Tamura Koji apologized on the phone.

It was indeed his problem that he failed to see what the other party was up to.

Now the deal is done, it's too late to regret, he can only apologize.

After all, Beichengzhi now only has 340,000 downloads, which is a full 200,000 different from the other party's 540,000 downloads.

In addition, today is already the last day of weekly ranking statistics.

It is impossible to achieve a sudden increase of 200,000 downloads in one day.

There he apologized regretfully.

But soon, Tamura Koji heard Kitumi Minoru's voice asking with a smile.

"You don't need to apologize, Tamura-san, this matter is not over yet."

"Huh? But..."

Tamura Koji opened his mouth.

"It's fine."

Kitazumi interrupted him.

"Uh" Tamura Koji stopped talking.

Because he heard it.

Kitami Minoru, who had always been cheerful, had a cold anger in his voice for the first time this time.

To be honest.

Although he cares about being No. 1 on the Oricon list, it's not to the point where he can't live without it.

The fans of the other party spent real money, so if they win the first place on the Oricon list, that won't be a big problem.

After all, their money is money.

But the problem is——

For the sake of a trustworthy list, what’s the point of not restraining my fans and letting them run wild under my personal updates?

And "The Moon Is So Beautiful Tonight" is just a garbage song?

Data fraud?

What a big face!

If it was just a simple Oricon issue, Kitami Minoru would probably just smile and get over it.

But now you’re pointing at me and scolding Kita Chiharu’s song?

I gave you a reaction and said you can't control it?

Okay, you can’t control it, right?

I tell you! This matter is definitely not over!

Isn’t it just the attention of the personal homepage?

It seems like no one has any followers!

Kitazumi took a deep breath, raised his hand and posted a message under his personal homepage——

【Please give me money. 】

It's just this simple text, and the paid download link for "The Moon Is So Beautiful Tonight" is attached below.

And this is also the first time that Kitazumi has been so open and unabashedly asking for money from his followers who call him "Kitasumi God".

Emitted dynamically.

There was silence for about a minute.

The next moment.

The comment area of ​​Kitazumi's personal homepage.

Boiling.

Good! 4700 words! Take a shower and continue writing!
