This CD will not only include "how wonderful you are", but also a special gift specially shot by Sakura Somesaki to thank the fans , At the same time, a photo of Somesaki Sakura will also be included in the CD.

Since it is a special CD, only [-] copies will be issued in total, and fans who want to buy it need to register on the official website, after which Sakura Somesaki will draw lots to select [-] places.

As soon as the news came out, all Somesaki Sakura fans were excited, especially the fans who attended the last concert, they desperately wanted to keep the song "how wonderful you are" in their hands.Moreover, because it is not a CD prepared for profit, this special CD can definitely be regarded as the conscience of the industry. Both CDs and photos are selected, but the price is only about [-] yuan.

Equivalent to the price of an ordinary CD.

In an instant, countless fans appeared on the official website, and even fans who were not the first to recommend Somesaki Sakura came to participate in this battle. The server on the official website crashed twice within 10 minutes, and additional staff had to be sent to To maintain the operation of the website.

The deadline for registration is the beginning of December. Within these two months, all Somesaki Sakura has to do is to record CDs and film TV dramas.

Somesaki Sakura's new TV series "Secret" is a very interesting TV series. Somesaki Sakura decided to take this drama when she saw the script for the first time.

"Secret" is adapted from a novel, and it was also made into a movie. At that time, the movie caused a huge response in the society. This time, the TV station decided to make it into a TV series because the book will soon be translated into The English version was published abroad. Seeing that this book was going to be a big hit again, the TV station wanted to take advantage of it.

The original "Secret" tells the story of a mother's soul occupying her daughter's body and living with her husband.Sugita Heisuke's wife Naoko and daughter Sami Nami's bus crashed into a cliff.His wife, Naoko, died, but her soul was attached to her 11-year-old daughter, Sami Nami.The wife and husband are still deeply in love, but fearing that Sami Nami's soul may return, they are forced to live with new identities considering the reality of the situation.The love between the two and their original identities have become a secret, with a ring as evidence.However, Naoko's thoughts and personality are more and more like a reborn girl, and it is gradually difficult for Hirasuke to sense Naoko's breath.As time went by, the relationship between the two was deeply tested.

This is the story of the original work, but the filmed TV series version has made slight changes, one of which is to change the age of her daughter Sami Nami to 16 years old.Somesaki Sakura will play the role of daughter.

The interesting and difficult part of this role is that Somesaki Sakura not only has to act as a middle-aged woman with a 16-year-old appearance, but also figure out how a middle-aged woman can pretend to be a 16-year-old girl.It’s such a contradiction. If you want Somesaki Sakura to play a young girl or even a middle-aged woman, it will not be difficult for Somesaki Sakura, but she wants to play two roles, and the "middle-aged woman" is her The main character, the "girl" is the role she needs to pretend to be.This is very difficult.

However, it was precisely because of this difficulty that Somezaki Sakura decided to take over the play decisively.

After the concert, Somesaki Sakura entered the crew for filming.

During the filming period, akb48 started the promotion of the No.19 single "beginner".This single is different from previous singles. Although the MV is still centered on Tian Dun, there are seven dance versions.Each is centered by a different member.

Maeda Atsushi, Somezaki Sakura, Oshima Yu, Shinoda Mariko, Takahashi Kusu, and Itano Yumi acted as the center respectively, and the double C composed of Matsui Jurina and Watanabe Mayu, a total of seven versions will be included in the CD, which can be said to be It meets the different requirements of different people's fans.

And this time, akb48 has returned to the style of "river", without sailor suits, swimsuits, and cuteness. "beginner", just like the title of the song, is another sincere cry from the girls.

On October 10, the single officially began to be released.Just like the success "river" brought to AKB27, the single "beginner" created a miracle.

The single "flyingget" has sold over one million copies nearly three months after its release, while "beginner" has exceeded one million sales in just its first week of sales.This is the highest initial sales volume of a single since the 21st century. With the initial sales volume alone, "beginner" has surpassed all singles released this year, and is tentatively scheduled to be the champion of the 2010 Oricon Singles Chart.

It went on sale at the end of October, and the Recording Industry Association of Japan announced in early November that the sales of "beginner" exceeded one million. Akb10 two consecutive singles

The song's million sales reached.

This time, it was really an earthquake in the entire entertainment industry.Just relying on the sales volume of the first week to exceed one million, the title of national idol is completely crowned on akb48's head.

Before, when akb48's album sales exceeded 50, some people already questioned akb48's "strength" and the "quality" of sales.

In Japan, due to the perfect system and strict regulations, there is generally no such thing as piracy.Therefore, if you want to get new songs from your favorite idol or singer, there are generally two ways.One is to buy a physical CD, and the other is to pay for a digital download from the Internet.

Compared to buying singles, of course, digital downloads are more popular.Not to mention the convenience, the main reason is that a single has only two or three songs at most, and the price/performance ratio is not suitable.In particular, most singers will release an album every one or two years. The album contains most of the songs, and the price of the album is not much more expensive than the single. It is very suitable for fans to buy the album, and there is no need to buy every single.

Therefore, for singles, the sales of singles by idol singers may be higher than those of powerful singers, but overall, the sales of singles will not be too high, and two consecutive albums like akb48 The number of singles exceeded one million, and five consecutive singles exceeded 50, which can be called a sky-high sales volume in Japan.

Before, many media had said that akb48 took a shortcut, the handshake meeting. The saying "akb48's sales are based on shaking hands" is not empty talk.

If you buy a single, you can get a ticket to the handshake event. This has attracted a lot of passer-by fans. The price of a single is not expensive. Buying a single can meet idols. What’s wrong with it? can it?Moreover, one handshake coupon is ten seconds, handshake coupons can be superimposed, ten handshake coupons is 100 seconds, if you want to extend the contact time with idols, buy more albums.In this way, it is not surprising that akb48's album sales have soared.

The handshake meeting is indeed a very popular place, akb48 can get to this point, the handshake meeting definitely takes the credit.This also led many people to akb48 to think that akb's sales are a very cheating data.

However, after two consecutive million sales breakthroughs, many people were speechless.Shaking hands would be cheating so what?At least at this time, akb48's status is already unbreakable, and such sales really prove the popularity of akb48.

If the initial sales volume exceeds one million, then the number of people attending the handshake meeting is more than a small venue can hold.In the end, the operator of akb48 actually contracted the entire Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo, a large venue that can accommodate 7 people to participate in the concert, as the venue for the next handshake meeting of akb48.

The operator's decision shocked everyone, but it was also extremely correct, because the last people who came to the handshake meeting had already lined up outside the stadium.Such a grand occasion, if people who don't know it see it, they will think that there is another international competition in progress.

Somesaki Sakura was not absent from this handshake meeting.In the entire venue, the line in front of her was the longest.The long line of winding and circling is amazing to watch.

"Did you watch my movie? Thank you very much."

"You look very nice today. Hey, it's the same bag as mine! Did you buy it specially? Thank you."

"Thank you for your support, I will work harder."

"Come here today too? It's really hard to wait in such a long line."

"Yeah, I've lost weight recently, I need to take good care of my body—thank you!"

"I'll try my best to get you, don't worry."

For everyone, Somesaki Sakura smiled. In the end, she felt her face was sore from laughing. This handshake meeting can be said to be the handshake meeting with the largest number of participants. For a whole day, she felt that her hands were numb .In the car, Asakusa Baishya rubbed her hands for her, and said with some distress: "Hands are swollen, and the director will definitely have an opinion when I go back to the set."

Now "Secret" has aired several episodes. The excellent plot and excellent actors have given this TV series a good response. The ratings are good, and the director will be stricter in shooting the next episodes. In order to be able to balance himself in AKB48's work and the filming of TV dramas, Somezaki Sakura has been keeping herself in the best condition for filming recently, and strives for one pass, so that the filming process of the crew will be much faster.

"It's okay, just go back and soak in hot water, isn't it the same as before?" Somesaki Sakura comforted Asakusa Baishya, she moved her hands, although she was still a little sore, but she was in a good mood.The handshake meeting will not only make the fans happy, but also the idols themselves will get a lot.

"By the way, how many people sign up online now?" Somesaki Sakura couldn't help asking when thinking of the special CD about Christmas mentioned by most of the fans just now.

When it comes to the number of online registrations, Asakusa Baishya is a little proud and has a headache: "At present, more than 20 people have signed up. If this trend continues, it is likely to exceed 30 or even 40. The office is already considering Do you want to increase the number of CDs?"

So many people signed up, but only [-] people were selected in the end. The office was also afraid of causing dissatisfaction among most of the fans, so it considered increasing the number of CDs. at this price

Bit, the firm will lose money.

Somesaki Sakura thought for a while, but there was no good way, she could only look forward to the ability of the firm.

The author has something to say: I really like the song Beginner
