The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

The first week of May has passed quickly, and the much-anticipated first week sales are about to emerge.

Regarding the sales volume in the first week, many adults, including Konno, are relatively optimistic. Due to the preparation of the debut single and the data from the market survey results, they can confidently say that the second single will be released soon.

The sales volume of "Come on Shampoo" does not have a question of whether it makes a profit, but only how much it makes.

At first glance, it may seem too confident, but in fact, at the beginning, Konno and his team did not think that the second single could make much money. The most likely possibility was to break even. The reason is very simple. Although the beginning of the debut single

Yes, but the number of fans and the fans who are willing to pay for it still only occupy a small part of the market. It is still quite difficult to make money so quickly.

But the amount of losses will not be much, because the investment in this single is far less than that of the debut single. With less resources spent, the corresponding losses will naturally be smaller. It is a very reasonable thing to achieve a balance.

However, variables appeared.

In addition to the quality of the single itself, a certain salty fish who attracted quite a lot of attention on his debut single and other occasions has also unknowingly gained a small number of fans, most of whom are pure song fans.

, noticed the quality of the songs he composed and paid attention to it.

These people do not know idols or know about Nogizaka46 and AKB48. It is entirely because the quality of the songs themselves has become a part of the sales. Although their number is not large, because they are purer, the energy they exude is also more

Big. After all, idol fans still need

Look at appearance, variety shows, and all aspects, but people who follow purely because of the songs will naturally only pay attention to the songs themselves. It doesn’t matter who you are. The key is whether the songs are good or not. As long as the quality of the songs itself passes the standard and attracts those around you.

It is not difficult to buy together with people who share the same interests.

It is precisely because there is such a group of people that those who are willing to spend money to buy the second single cannot be determined by the number of fans. These hidden sales are undoubtedly very important, and as long as the quality of the songs continues,

Their number will also increase and eventually they will become an indispensable part of sales.

And this is just one of the variables, or in other words, just a smaller aspect of the variables.

The bigger variable comes from an interview given by Neon's famous musician Ryuichi Sakamoto just two days after the release date.

During the interview, in the picture captured by the camera, there was a picture of Nogizaka46's second single "Come on Shampoo" placed behind the seat where he was sitting! And when interviewed by reporters, he also bluntly stated that he

I got to know this new idol group because of a variety show, and accidentally listened to one of the songs. I thought it was pretty good, so I bought one and put it here.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

You must know that the current Nogizaka46 and the real boss Ryuichi Sakamoto are not on the same level at all. They are comparable to the difference between Paramecium and Godzilla! With his personal praise and comments that are close to endorsement, this

The idol group that attracted a lot of attention since their debut once again attracted everyone's attention and aroused strong interest.

After all, what kind of boss is Sakamoto Ryuichi? With his current reputation and status in the neon music industry, as long as he doesn't want to, almost no one can easily endorse him. Such a person can express his gratitude to an unknown idol group.

The new single has given good reviews, which can only be his true feelings!

And the quality of the music that makes such a big boss feel good is definitely not that bad, just buy it!

Even if you buy it home and find that it seems to be different from what you expected, it is not the problem of the song itself or even Sakamoto Ryuichi, but your own problem, because your aesthetic taste must not have reached the level of Mr. Sakamoto.

That’s why I feel like this, even if I buy it and collect it, it’s fine!

So what are you waiting for? Buy, buy, buy!

So from that day on, the sales of the second single began to rise crazily, and it was not until today, the statistics day, that it finally began to level off!

As far as Baiyunshan knows, other singles released during the same period can be said to have turned green. Although the sales volume cannot be said to be low, it has undoubtedly been affected by the fluctuations and has declined to a certain extent. As for Nogizaka46, a new generation

In just a few months, the idol group showed incredible suppressive power for the first time, which even amazed many people in the industry. It can be called a miracle of sales!

But everyone, including Baiyunshan, knows that it is not so much a miracle as it is a game in which Mr. Sakamoto proves his influence. The skyrocketing sales are just a direct result of the immature idol group Nogizaka46.

The beneficiary, and the person who caused all this was the lighthearted Sakamoto Ryuichi who performed well.

One sentence can change the fate of a new idol group. This is the power of the neon music industry.

Baiyunshan was amazed by all this, but also a little helpless. He sighed and said: "Mr. Sakamoto, I know the reason why you did this is to compensate me, but it is really unnecessary. Such a result will have a negative impact on that person."

For a group of little girls, it may not be a good thing."

These words are not necessarily alarmist. After all, there is no disappointment if there are no expectations. When everyone thought that this order was a tepid transition, suddenly there were unimaginable brilliant results. Although it would be a surprise, it would also be surprising.

They will have higher requirements for the results next time, and if the next order fails to meet the higher requirements, it will not even be as good as this time, and the results can be imagined.

In particular, the gratifying results of this one are almost based on the reputation of Mr. Sakamoto. It is just a castle in the air. Whether the next one can achieve the sales volume of this one will definitely be a big question mark. After everything cools down, Xiao

The pressure on idols is bound to double, and his pressure is even more so.

Sakamoto Ryuichi smiled gently and said in a soft voice: "I was also careless? *** I just thought that this might be helpful to you, and I didn't think about it that much. Now that I think about it, I'm a little sorry.?/

p

Baiyunshan was speechless for a moment. After all, a big boss like you has personally apologized to you, what else can you do? You don't act like this when you get a bargain, right? That's too shameless, he even looks down on himself.

So he changed his mind and said: "Next time, if Mr. Sakamoto still wants to help me, there is no need to spend time saying nice things in the interview. Just give me money. I suddenly feel a little short of money recently. It's all because of those people."

The guy gave me food, and even though the little girls are all skinny and look the same, each of them tastes better than the other, but it’s really..."

He was chattering witty words, and Ryuichi Sakamoto's eyes became gentler and he looked at him calmly. He suddenly said: "By the way, Sony and Yasushi Akimoto came over two days ago to express their gratitude. Sony

The representative is your boss Yoshio Konno, do you know what they said?"

"What did you say?"

Baiyunshan was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously.

"They said that if I am willing, you can come to study with me. As for the job at Nogizaka46, the position can be retained temporarily and it will not affect it." Ryuichi Sakamoto said flatly: "I don't know if you are willing.

.”

Although the question was about whether Sakamoto Ryuichi was willing, whether he was willing or not actually still depended on whether Baiyunshan was willing, so he asked the other party if he was willing.

He doesn't like to force others.

And the answer is very simple.

Baiyunshan is willing to go to work, to play around with his idols, to think about boring things, to take a nap, to lie on a recliner and be a salted fish. He is willing to do many things, but one thing must be

Not willing.

In particular, this matter was almost forgotten by him, but when the first week sales came out today, he was reminded again.

Baiyunshan was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter."

Sakamoto Ryuichi nodded slightly, but there was no disappointment on his face. He had already expected this result, and his expression was still gentle: "Whatever you want to do, just follow your own ideas. Don't be sorry. Yes.

It is said that your sales volume has been released. I wonder if you can tell me how much it is. To be honest, I feel a bit ashamed. I am also looking forward to how much influence I will have."

When he said this, his slightly weathered face was as quiet and gentle as ever, but there was a trace of childlike curiosity evident.

Baiyunshan smiled, casually took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and showed the data inside in front of him.

[Second single "Come on Shampoo" first week sales: 311552]

At the same time, a voice sounded in Baiyunshan's mind.

"Hidden Mission: [Soaring to the Sky] Completed! Get the reward - the Great Summoning Technique!"
