Chapter 52 Unlimited Replay & SP

Two months after the release of "beginner", akb48's No. 20 single "heavy rotation" will be released soon.

As Yuu Oshima's first true center track, this song has received a lot of attention before it came out, and as akb48's new single after "beginner", what will the sales of this single eventually reach? At the same time, it has also received great attention from the entertainment industry.

At that time, the TV series of Sakura Somesaki had all been filmed, and Atsushi Maeda had also completed the filming of "Q10". Another member of the Iron Triangle , Yu Oshima

Whether it can take on the heavy responsibility of the center of a single.

Since the selection of members for this single is determined by finger-guessing, except for Yu Oshima and Hina Kojima, no one else has the opportunity to participate in the recording of the single.This also made the outside world start to boldly speculate that without Shenqi's single, it is impossible to continue the sales of the previous single, even with the gimmick of Oshima Yuchu C.

As for the operators, they are actually sweating in their hands. They will rely on the sales of this single to fully position the current status of akb48.

condition.

Before it was officially released, the MV that was released first became a hot topic on the Internet.Even Sakura Somesaki and Atsushi Maeda were taken aback when they saw the MV. They quietly asked Yuu Oshima and Haruna Kojima, did it really go well during the MV shooting?

The members in the MV, except Yu Oshima, are all wearing underwear.That's right, not bathing suits, not bikinis, but underwear.

This is really a bit bold.Compared with underwear, the exposed safety pants in "Floating Skirt" and the swimsuit in the single have become a small case. Anyway, it is still a scene that can be seen in some public places, but underwear, except for the closest Man, who else can I show it to?

Almost everyone’s first reaction was that akb48 is crazy, a popular combination, it’s fine to wear bikinis before, why is it not suitable for children this time?Many people who were dissatisfied with akb48 before began to speak out, criticizing akb48 and Akihara Yasushi on the Internet.

AKB48 was able to escape from the term "Undercover Group" before because of their resilience and persistence, but if they are labeled as "pornographic" this time, it may be difficult to stand up again.This is something that most people like to hear.

However, Yasushi Akihara has never been unprepared. His trump card is the director of the MV, Shika Ninagawa.One of the most representative female photographers in Japan, her status in the Japanese art circle can already be called a "master".

This director, one of the best in the Japanese director circle, is one of the most loyal fans of akb48. At least, Somesaki Sakura has seen this director more than once at the handshake meeting, and even this master has proposed more than once to give AKB48's photobook was shot, and it was because of her idea that "heavyrotation" was born.

With the existence of this master, no one dares to criticize the new list in public, because this master's style is like this. In her world, women can be sweet, sexy, and full of charm, but they must be pure and natural. Retouched, so, clap in her hand

The MV that was shot was colorless. These girls were purely beautiful for their own sake.

No one questioned the style of the MV any more, as if they questioned, they were questioning the artwork of this master artist.

Subsequently, on December 12, "heavyrotation" was officially released.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of the MV, or it might be the gimmick of Yu Oshima's first C position. Although the initial sales volume of this single was not as high as the million copies of "beginner", it also reached 87 copies.As soon as this data came out, those who were waiting to see the joke were speechless.

Perhaps some people were lucky enough to think that the sales in the second week would drop, and that this single might not break the million mark, but what disappointed them was that the tenth day after the release of the single, the sales exceeded the million mark.This is akb48's third single to surpass one million.

Although judging from the final sales volume, this single is not as good as "beginner", but it still continues the myth created by akb48. Moreover, this single wins because of its long stamina. Later, "heavyrotation" was in the It has stayed on the sales list for more than 70 consecutive weeks, and even has been the champion of the karaoke list for as long as 81 weeks.

At this time, akb48 has no place that can be questioned by outsiders. They use their achievements very well to defend their position as the overlord.

Of course, the sales volume this time also made the operators understand that compared with Shenzhou VII, the appeal of other members is still far behind. If there were no double gimmicks such as the MV and Yu Oshima this time, it might not be able to achieve it. Even if it achieves a million sales, it is still far from the achievement of "beginner".

Improving the popularity of other members has become an urgent matter for akb48.

On the other hand, when "heavyrotation" was on the air, on Christmas Day, Somesaki Sakura's special CD also officially began to be released.

Due to the large number of applicants, in the end, the firm decided to release this CD in two versions, one is the original selected version, and the dyed

Saki Sakura still draws 2 people from all the applicants to purchase this selected CD; in another version, the songs included in the CD are the same, but it does not come with Somesaki Sakura's photobook and shooting specials.

Of course, it’s not a loss to just buy a CD, because there are a total of six songs recorded on this CD. In addition to the two title songs that have been released before, there are also "how wonderful you are" and three other new songs, and these six songs They all carefully shot the MV. This kind of production, even if it doesn't come with special gifts and photos, is definitely the best of all singles.

However, the prices set by the firm for two kinds of CDs are slightly lower than the price of an album. Judging from the production of CDs, the price/performance ratio is very good.

High, fans can accept it.The prices of the two CDs are also slightly different. Of course, the selected version is a little more expensive, but it’s really only a little bit. In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s much more expensive. It doesn't matter.

On the day of the lottery, the office set up a camera to synchronize the scene of Somesaki Sakura's lottery online. Interested fans can watch it through the official website.

The staff brought in several large boxes, which were really full, and contained the numbers of more than 30 people. In order to break up these numbers, several staff members dangled the boxes, and they also Quite hard.

Since 2 people were to be drawn, Somesaki Sakura simply grabbed a handful, sometimes with two hands, and there were more than a dozen staff members doing quick statistics and registration. Next to the video screen, there was a column A list of winning prizes is being updated simultaneously. Of course, they are not as fast as Somesaki Sakura in terms of statistics. When Somesaki Sakura has finished catching, the video is over, and the list is still being entered quickly.

After the end, Somesaki Sakura also made a very cute expression to the camera. She pointed to the list that was left behind, and made a helpless expression, so that the fans who were watching the video at the same time swiped wantonly Screen.

"How can Sakura sauce be so cute!"

"Even if I didn't get drawn, I'm still satisfied."

"Has been drawn, ready to sell kidney ╮(╯﹏╰)╭"

"Pride Upstairs"

"I'm heartbroken, I haven't seen my name yet."

No matter what, the list of 2 people has been freshly released, and the staff have sent text messages to these 2 people.

ID card and text message verification code can go to the CD store to buy selected CDs, and if you don’t want to go to the CD store to buy, you can also pay the fee through a special channel on the official website and leave your address, and the company will deliver the CD to your door.

Those who got the SMS verification code were overjoyed, but those who didn’t get the verification code didn’t have time to be sad, so they went online to order the non-selected version of the CD immediately, or geared up to line up to grab the first batch of CDs.

Three days before Christmas, there were long queues at the entrances of all the CD stores. Unexpectedly, the delivery volume of 40 copies prepared by the office was not enough. In just two days, this CD had already been sold. Nearly 30 copies were sold, and all the CD stores were out of stock. The office could only notify the record company to increase the stock. In addition, the online shopping CDs that were originally prepared to be mailed out were first taken out to supply the CD stores. If there is no such thing as Christmas The holiday is here to give them a buffer time, I am afraid that all the fans will come to smash the door of the office.

In the end, this special CD sold nearly 50 yuan, and almost broke through the 50 mark, which made people in the industry feel very happy.

Generously, akb48 is not only powerful as a group, but the development of individual members is also limitless.Some people even assert that if Somezaki Sakura graduates from akb48 at this time, it will not have a great impact on her personal development, but for akb48, it is a great loss.

No matter what the professionals in the entertainment circle think about Somesaki Sakura, at least, this special CD really satisfies Somesaki Sakura's fans.

A song "how wonderful you are" is moving, and the features and additional photos in those selected CDs are even more amazing.

The special feature of this recording is a real record of Somesaki Sakura's daily life, recording every bit of Somesaki Sakura's daily life. At that time, the camera followed Somesaki Sakura for a whole week, including filming, performances, handshake meetings and various itineraries , and some private clips of Sakura Somesaki, these records allow fans to see a more real Sakura Somesaki, and feel that the distance between herself and her idol is not that far away.

And the attached photos—of course, it is not a complete set of photos, but a mix of several groups of photos randomly put into the CD, so that some fans get different photos in their hands, a complete set of photos , can only be completed if the photos in the hands of everyone on the Internet are collected together—it is also extremely exquisite. The photos taken by Sakura Somesaki specially rushed to Hokkaido, the seaside, the beach, the beauties, really couldn't be more beautiful.
