After a set of promotional combinations from before and after the new year, in the first week of the new year, Dreams e True's new album gained momentum.
On the second and third day after the New Year, 36,000 copies were sold in two days.
After that, the sales momentum did not weaken, but continued to maintain this sales pace. In the days from the 4th to the 7th, more than 47,000 copies were sold.
In today's era, it is already an eye-catching "miracle" for a band that has just debuted and has a small base to be able to sell this number of albums in one week.
Including the 20,000 copies sold a year ago, the band's new album has sold more than 100,000 copies on the list so far.
After the New Year, when the rankings were updated for the first time, it was certain that this album would be in the top ten, or in the top five. Even a higher ranking was not something we couldn’t look forward to.
After all, despite the national mourning period, record stores are not closed.
On the one hand, it is the rising album sales, and on the other hand, the three songs in the album that appear in TV commercials are repeatedly requested on radio stations, especially the song "Future Vision II".
It has always firmly occupied the first place on the radio on-demand list.
Nowadays, no radio station will dislike this song taking up a long time and will play the entire song directly in the program.
With three title track-level songs in an album, the public no longer doubts whether it is worth buying the album. But when they buy the album home and listen to it from beginning to end, they find that no matter where in the entire album,
The quality of every song is good, even if it is a non-hit song, it will never disappoint.
Not only that, the clever connection between songs makes the whole album sound integrated. There is no need to skip songs, it is no problem to repeat the whole album repeatedly.
Is the album of dreams e true so high quality?
Dreams e True's album is a well-deserved masterpiece!
The satisfied public not only supported the band with practical actions - buying albums and playing them on demand on radio stations, but also expressed their support for the band by writing letters, calling the audience hotlines of radio and television stations, recommending to friends, etc.
, my love for this new album and a certain song in the album.
The band's office has been receiving a steady stream of letters from the public these days.
It has a good reputation and its daily sales are quite stable. It looks like it will become a long-selling classic album. The record company is constantly receiving requests for replenishment from record sellers.
In fact, because of the good reputation gained by the album Dreams e True, it also aroused the public's curiosity about their other albums. Together with the request for replenishment of the album "love goes on...", the band also sent
Order for debut album "dreams e true".
Television programs during the national mourning period were affected, but it did not affect early announcements. The band's new album was a hit, and there was a hit song like "Future Vision II", and invitations to music programs from various TV stations came one after another.
There are late-night music programs, interview-type comprehensive programs, and of course, there are also many invitations to large-scale mainstream music programs, such as Fuji TV's "Night Blast Recording Studio" and "The Top Ten", TBS TV's "The Best Ten",
And the must-see TV Asahi's "Music Station".
For such a bunch of music invitations, the manager in charge of the band in the agency first selects the ones that must go. Then, after deciding on the music shows to go to, they have to be divided into categories.
For programs where invitations are only obtained based on performance, such as "the test ten" and "the top ten", when participating, you must sing "Future Vision II".
If it's not a chart-topping show, I'll negotiate with the program team to sing other songs from the album.
So far, no matter from any aspect, this new album has been a great success. So the next thing to do is to maintain the popularity while waiting for this album to move towards better results.
Participating in programs, being on the charts, and spreading word of mouth... While creating popularity, we are also maintaining it.
While the album was a huge success, the outdoor tour mentioned by Shinichi Iwahashi was urgent.
After the album was a great success and left the public with the impression that "Dreams e True's album must be a top-quality album," the next step was to convey to the public that "Dreams e True's live performance is a top-notch live performance."
Taking advantage of the popularity of the album, we will launch a massive tour this year. As long as the tour can end perfectly, the band's two major advantages will be conveyed to the public.
When I was in Osaka, I had already conveyed the idea of starting an outdoor tour to Watanabe Wan Yumi. At that time, I had already agreed to hold a planning meeting when I returned to Tokyo and communicate with Sony.
The preparation period for a concert is really long. If we were to do it this year, since we were going to do an outdoor tour, we couldn’t choose it in winter when the weather is freezing. It would have to start before the end of summer at the latest.
If there is going to be an outdoor tour this year, the schedule needs to be drawn up before January, and then the venue needs to be negotiated.
The agency is responsible for leading the concert. As long as it is approved at the plenary meeting of u-miz, then it is a certainty that the concert will be held.
It is normal for rising bands to go on tour. For singers and bands, concerts are essential to their careers, and live singers must prepare for tours every year.
However, there are still differences between conducting indoor tours and outdoor tours.
In particular, a mobile stage must be built. The mobile stage must be transported across the country as the band tours, and it must be set up after it arrives at the venue.
The biggest problem is the high cost.
Moreover, because it is an outdoor venue, the investment in security is about three times that of an indoor venue, and labor costs are also a large expense.
It's easy to lose money on a concert, so it's a huge investment.
However, this outdoor tour is of great significance.
This is not just a regular tour for a live band, but a massive tour to convey the strength and charm of the band.
In other words, just like "love goes on...", it is to completely establish the band's signature.
Precisely because it has such important significance in the long run, even at the risk of losing money, Watanabe Mayumi and the staff of the office decided to go ahead with the tour after a meeting and discussion.
This unanimous determination is also closely related to the achievements of the album "love goes on...".
The success of the album gave the entire office the confidence to realize the outdoor tour plan.
Once you decide what to do, take the most important first step, and then there will be every step towards the destination.
The office approved the plan, and Watanabe Manyumi contacted Iwahashi Shinichi.
Afterwards, Shinichi Iwahashi communicated with his two teammates again, and the three of them went to the office to participate in the next round of meetings.
