With the weekly broadcast of the TV series "Escape is Shameful But Useful", the plot is moving more and more towards the sweetness of the two, and the stagnant ratings are rising again. The agency specially chose this time period to release
Kazuki Nishino's first solo single "Love" is also the theme song of this TV series. It has already become a hit with dance.
This CD also includes three songs selected from other songs by Horipro Studio. Although they are not very classic, they are enough to make up the number in the single CD.
One week after its release, the sales volume reached 131,000, which was nearly 30,000 higher than the sales volume of Hoshino Gen, the original singer in the previous life. Although the distribution company and the office had conducted anticipatory surveys, they still did not expect this CD.
It will sell so well.
This era is not the era when big names gathered together and a good song could sell over a million copies. The sales of physical records have been declining. Except for the most popular idol groups, they can easily sell 500,000+ copies through other methods.
Except for this, most other singers have difficulties.
However, in the Internet age, it all depends on the distribution, that is, the number of downloads. In Japan, you need to pay to download a song. The number of paid downloads of a song basically determines the popularity of the song.
Of course Kazuki Nishino's single distribution is also very good. Although he received the least amount of money from the production team for each CD and download of this single, it is still a very considerable income.
No wonder a composer and lyricist can have a song that will last a lifetime.
Kazuki Nishino is busy promoting his new single this week and has appeared on many variety shows.
Finally, on Friday night, he received an invitation from TV Asahi's old music program "Musicstation" and will participate in the live broadcast of this program today.
Kazuki Nishino arrived at TV Asahi very early. After entering the backstage lounge, he realized that the members of Nogizaka46 were also one of the singers participating in today's program. They were here to promote the graduating member Mai Fukawa as the center.
’s 14th new song "When Spring Aster Blooms", this is also the first release of this song.
Kazuki Nishino was sitting in the lounge, holding the script of the program in his hand. It was said that the script was actually just the order of appearance and seating arrangement of a program.
Because it is a live broadcast, there will be a rehearsal later so that there will be no mistakes after this episode.
Nishino Kazuki took out his mobile phone. The staff had just come in to communicate with him and talked about some matters to pay attention to. Since it was still early, he was going to take a break and go to say hello to other singers and hosts.
Recently, Kazuki Nishino has been obsessed with chatting with her fans in Mai Shiraishi’s support group. Out of curiosity, Kazuki Nishino pretended to be a new fan who had just promoted Mai Shiraishi and joined the group. Over the past few days, he has also been chatting with the group.
The fans are very familiar with each other, and they usually make trouble with the people inside, posting comments such as "Shiraishi Mai is my wife", which attracts everyone's contempt and complaints. Everyone doesn't know his identity, so they just think he is...
Just a "dead gay" who has delusional thoughts every day.
While we were chatting, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
"Please come in." Nishino Kazuki put down his mobile phone and shouted towards the door.
The door was pushed open, and in came the Nogizaka agent whom Nishino Kazuki had met before.
"Nishino-san, would it be convenient for the members to come say hello?" the manager asked very politely.
So early?
"Of course." Nishino Kazuki nodded and returned. He had not met Shiraishi Mai and Ikuta Erika properly in the past few days.
After thanking the agent, he said behind him.
"Come in."
The number of people selected for this single was 17. Of course, it was impossible for every member to come in and say hello. Kazuki Nishino looked at it and saw that there were only about 11 people who came in. This corresponds to the "Ten Lucky Gods" of this song, which means the last one in terms of resources.
They are close members of the platoon, and the leader of this team, Reika Sakurai, has the same position as the previous team. She also has an old acquaintance with Kazuki Nishino.
The first one to enter was Shiraishi Mai, followed by Ikuta Erika. Since the lounge was not too small, there was still some space after the eleven people filed in.
Mai Shiraishi kept looking at Nishino Kazuki, with curved eyebrows and a smile. Nishino Kazuki looked back at her and pretended to nod in greeting.
They looked like they were not very familiar with each other and wanted to remain polite, but secretly they were very excited.
Ikuta Erihua didn't care and was the first to speak.
"Teacher Kazuki, long time no see."
"Ikuta-chan, good evening." Nishino Kazuki waved towards her, and then said to the eleven members who came in, "And everyone, good evening."
The manager glanced at captain Sakurai Reika, probably thinking how could she let her senior say hello first.
This is also considered a relatively important etiquette rule in Japan.
So Sakurai Reika coughed softly, and then said to Nishino Kazuki: "Nishino-san, please allow us to say hello."
Nishino Kazuki nodded.
Sakurai Reika looked at the members. They all stood up straight and took postures, and said: "せの, we are Nogizaka46."
I also made a special posture during the introduction, which was relatively neat.
"Please take good care of me."
"Please take good care of me."
I had seen Nishino Kazuki when he was saying hello backstage, but this was a formal occasion where so many members were saying hello together, so it still felt fresh.
"You don't need to be so polite, we are all familiar with each other." After all, Nishino Kazuki is a serious Chinese soul, and he is not too fond of this too formal way of greeting.
The members also relaxed after hearing what Nishino Kazuki said.
Nishino-san is indeed as easy to get along with as rumored.
"By the way, congratulations on Nishino-san's new single selling well." Mai Shiraishi thought of this and blinked in congratulations.
"Thank you." Nishino Kazuki replied and smiled.
Hashimoto Nanami has been observing the small interactions between Nishino Kazuki and Shiraishi Mai, and felt that their acting skills were a bit poor, seeing how they were flirting back and forth.
But it's okay to lie to the members. She also sees through it but doesn't say anything about it.
"Brother Nishino." Sister member Hoshino Minami took a step forward and shouted to Kazuki Nishino.
She recently watched Kazuki Nishino's TV series and loved it very much.
"It's Konan, long time no see." Nishino Kazuki still remembers Hoshino Minami's cute appearance when we were in the haunted house, and wonders when we will see him again.
Xiaonan also waved cutely and greeted him.
He looks very well-behaved and seems to have maintained a good and stable weight recently.
Of course, there was also Nishino Nanase who gave him chocolate that day. She pursed her lips and looked at Nishino Kazuki expectantly.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Then Nishino Kazuki glanced over and saw Saito Asuka hiding behind Hashimoto Nanami in the left corner with only one head exposed.
After seeing Nishino Kazuki, Niao Er remembered the embarrassing state she had been in when Nishino saw her, so she wanted to hide away from him, but it backfired.
"Saito-san, long time no see." Nishino Kazuki heard that the bird had a dark heart and was shaking, so he couldn't help but challenge her.
