As soon as you become famous, everything that follows will be like cheating.
Originally, I only had the status of being the winner of "STAR! Birth!". Although I am somewhat famous, I still rely on the name of the program.
The debut song was featured many times in various TV programs, but it had some effect but did not create a splash.
The offline promotion activities in various districts of Tokyo can only be said to have cultivated a group of early fans.
NHK's free promotion allowed many people to learn about Ito Junko for the first time. Although they only listened to half of the debut song, the beautiful melody has been remembered by many people. They heard about NHK's news program
After the broadcast, many listeners called to ask about their idols and the name of the song.
"Naoki-san, night HIT
The show also called!”
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Naoki Nagayama was woken up by a call from Otomo Yoshimura.
"There are also some other variety shows!"
"Hi! Hi! Hi! I got it~"
Listening to Fangcun Otomo's excited voice, he knew that he must not have slept much last night, but he probably wouldn't be able to sleep if he was advised to go to bed at this time.
"Otomo-san, for this kind of good thing that comes from heaven, you should be mentally prepared. You should take a bath first, and then have a good breakfast. There are many things to do after that! Your body can't hold you back."
"Hi! I got it!"
Yoshimura Otomo readily agreed.
...
Although he persuaded Yoshimura Otomo, Nagayama Naoki was a little confused at this time. It turned out that he only planned to give a debut song casually, and Ito Junko's future development was just to muddle along and wait and see.
However, now, God has actually given me such a big help, and it seems that I would be a bit sorry for this good luck if I don't work hard.
Naoki Nagayama got up and stroked his dog's head first.
"Ying Tailang, you really don't want to work hard. Wouldn't it be nice to just pretend to be a charterer? You're right, right?"
Forced by his master's power, Ying Tailang could only express his approval in a yawning voice.
There is a thin spring rain outside the door. Tokyo is already hazy in spring, and winter is getting further and further away~
Different from the coldness of autumn rain, after the spring rain, the cold air of winter is diluted, and all kinds of flowers are about to bloom~
“It’s cherry blossom season again~”
Nagayama Naoki looked at the raindrops passing by the car window and lamented the passage of time.
This time last year, he was still living in his apartment in Waseda, not knowing what the future would bring. Now he has moved to a villa, drives a luxury car, and has become a famous creator among his friends.
When we arrived at the studio, Yoshimura Otomo was already there, and Ito Junko was also sitting beside him.
"Junko-san, how do you feel now?" Nagayama Naoki asked with a gentle smile.
"It feels a bit like a dream now, just like the feeling when Naoki-san raised the sign!"
Junko Ito had something to say. This sentence made both Yoshimura Otomo and Nagayama Naoki a little embarrassed. The raising of the placard was a complete accident...
But after all, they are all very thick-skinned adults. After rubbing their faces a little, they calmly changed the subject.
"Otomo-san, do you have any preparations for appearing on the show?"
"Ah, not yet. Shouldn't we ask Naoki-san to find a solution?"
Ask me for a solution, what can I do? Naoki Nagayama complained silently, then turned to look at Itou Shuichi,
"Xiu Yisang, do you have any good ideas?"
"I work in movies and don't know much about variety shows!" With a tone of complete ignorance, he removed himself from this matter. It was indeed a good idea.
Junko Ito's previous promotion method was completely in line with the orthodox idol model: after releasing a single, she would put on announcements and do promotional activities, and repeat until she could hold a concert.
If you are never able to hold concerts, you will end up disappearing from the entertainment industry like thousands of other idols.
"If that's the case, Otomo-san, during the period before the night hit, use as many resources as possible to show your face in as many variety shows as possible." Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, "Even if it's completely unrelated.
So can the show!”
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
Two questioning voices came out, and Yoshimura Otomo asked directly: "Do you also want to participate in unrelated variety shows? Like late-night ones?"
"Hey, it doesn't matter if there is, it's only for a day or two anyway."
Nagayama Naoki emphasized, "In short, before the night hit is broadcast, everyone must be familiar with Junko Ito's face."
Yoshimura Otomo hesitated: "This may lead to criticism from the media and will also have a negative impact on Junko-san's image."
"It doesn't matter whether it's a music program or not, and it doesn't matter whether it suits Junko Ito's image." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand, "Currently we only consider Junko Ito's exposure."
Again, haters are also fans. As long as Ito Junko becomes more topical, more people will naturally know about her and her debut songs.
"You are a little girl, have you done anything wrong?"
Nagayama Naoki has set a policy, so Yoshimura Otomo will not object,
"Since Naoki-san said so, I'll contact you right away!"
After saying that, the old man left in a hurry, without even Junko Ito taking him with him.
The girl, who was only in high school, was a little worried at this time: "Naoki-san, I'm suddenly going to have a night hit, I'm really a little nervous ~ What if it doesn't work after that?"
Nagayama Naoki feels like he has become a close brother to many people recently. Why does everyone have to seek comfort from him? If he does this again in the future, he will have to consider charging!
But after all, he is his own artist. Nagayama Naoki at least comforted him with a few words: "Silly tape! Junko-san, you have to believe in your own charm, and you have to believe in my music!
Even if it doesn’t have much effect this time, it’s just a return to the previous state, it’s nothing~”
This kind of comfort obviously didn't work, and Junko Ito looked gloomy.
Chicken soup is obviously very effective for men, but why doesn’t it work for women?
Nagayama Naoki looked at Ito Junko and said: "Junko-san, even my high standards of judgment can be impressed by you, so I raised my sign. Think about how there are so many fans in Japan, how can you compare with my vision?"
?”
Junko Ito glanced at Naoki Nagayama, her face slowly turned red, but her frown had gone away.
"Hi! I'll do my best!"
With a brisk pace, this little girl went to a familiar makeup artist for advice. She must be in her best condition when appearing on the show.
Sure enough, this time you have to rely on your handsome face!
Nagayama Naoki felt a little happy and a little ashamed in his heart.
He actually used a beauty trick on a little girl...
...
Itou Shuichi was watching quietly from the side. When Nagayama Naoki looked at him,
He seemed to be looking at something dirty.
"Xiu Yisang, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, Naoki-san, I just want to say that you seem to be eating a little too much lately."
"Nani?"
"The face seems to be much thicker..."
"...Shuichi-san, I found that you have been talking a lot more humorously recently..."
...
