Chapter 187 The most successful male solo?

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank everyone for their support to achieve such results."

Now the outside world is waiting for his sales results next week, whether he can maintain the high trend of the first week, and then break more records.

"Actually, seeing that Akiyama-kun can achieve such results, I am more confident." Fukuyama Masaharu suddenly talked about his feelings.

"Huh?" His words made Akiyama Kazuki stunned for a moment.

"Before this, I always thought that only bands or groups can achieve a big explosion in CD sales. It is difficult for solo singers, especially male solo singers, to achieve comparable results.

But since I saw the songs released by Qiushan Jun, one after another got better results, let me understand that male solo can also be successful.

This also made me more determined about the future solo line, and I would like to thank Akiyama-kun. "

The current Japanese music scene is when bands are prevalent and pop music is at its peak.Not only is the sales of CDs exploding, but the music scene is also flourishing.

However, the singers who can become popular are either bands or combinations such as B, z, Chuck and Asuka, Mimi Club, and Southern Stars.

Either it is a powerful female singer writer like Matsutani Yumi and Nakajima Miyuki.

Or female idol singers such as Miho Nakayama, Shizuka Kudo, and Kyoko Koizumi.

It wasn't until the birth of Kazuki Akiyama that the male solo singer who had been relatively marginal for a long time came into people's sight.

Before that, although there were also some impressive male solos, such as Noriyuki Makihara and Masatoshi Ono.But the achievements are completely incomparable with the band combination.

However, Kazuki Akiyama’s three consecutive singles have exceeded one million, and four consecutive singles have won the weekly championship. This achievement can be called dazzling in the entire Heisei era.

"Thanks to everyone, and with Fukuyama-san's talent, it will not be difficult to achieve such results in the future."

This is not a polite remark from Akiyama Kazuki.He knows that Fukuyama Masaharu wrote the lyrics and composed music for the few singles he released when he first debuted, so he has musical talent.

Coupled with his continuous efforts in the field of TV dramas and variety shows, sooner or later he will gain his own huge fan base.

And after the addition of the drama "Under the Same Roof", there is already a hint of this.With the fan basic disk, do you still worry about CD sales?

"Then I will borrow Akiyama-kun's auspicious words." Fukuyama Masaharu nodded with a smile.

"However, I heard that Akiyama-kun is very good at writing lyrics and composing music, especially improvisation.

For example, on the MS stage, the piano composed the music live, and "Smile and Smile" was composed and sung on the spot. Many people must know this.

And it is said that when he first debuted, he improvised a new song on a radio show.

So it is rare to experience a late-night file today, is there any new song to share with us? "

Hearing Masaharu Fukuyama's request, the staff in the next room nodded excitedly.

That's right, after finally inviting him who seldom appears on the show, how could he not have a sense of anticipation.

Only by surprising the audience by surprise can there be hot spots and audience ratings.

"I know it's not that easy to join the show hosted by your guy. Forget about the late-night show, and you have to be in charge of improvisation.

The supper at the meeting later has to go to a higher-end place to make sense. "

As getting along with Masaharu Fukuyama became more and more familiar, Kazuki Akiyama talked to him more and more casually.It is even more common to complain about each other.

"Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem. Just now the staff sang have nodded and agreed, and will reimburse the meal expenses this time. Also, please be sure not to be polite, Mr. Qiushan. By the way, I can also enjoy the high-end midnight cuisine."

Fukuyama Masaharu will also come to the matter, directly telling the scene where the outside director nodded in agreement.He also added himself in by the way, making Akiyama Kazuki laugh.

"There is a new piece of music, and it's just recently. It's a piano piece."

"Hey, piano music, I thought it was the guitar that Akiyama-kun is good at. But the piano is fine, please."

Saying that, Fukuyama Masaharu gestured towards the electronic piano by the wall.

Kazuki Akiyama got up and walked to the piano and sat down. A staff member came to help him fix the microphone to ensure the sound reception.

"Blessed are the listeners who are listening to All night nippon now. What you will hear soon is Akiyama-kun's new piece. It has not been played publicly yet. You are the first listeners."

Fukuyama Masaharu also took a microphone and sat not far from Akiyama Kazuki, making live broadcasts for radio listeners.

Kazuki Akiyama adjusted the tuning first, and then his fingers began to jump on the light keys.

The soothing and quiet melody at the beginning made everyone present think it was a sad song, but then the rhythm gradually became cheerful.It seems to bring people into the good memories of the past.

A song with a simple melody and rhythm, but it doesn't seem monotonous.On the contrary, it has always had a faint charm.

The beautiful melody is always easy to make people forget the passage of time, and a few minutes pass by like a fleeting moment.

"What a creative genius, the melody at the beginning is like the loneliness and sadness of a person walking on a forest path covered in maple leaves.

However, with the joyful rhythm, there is a hint of joy. Although the rhythm is repeated afterwards, the notes are surprisingly charming.

Emotionally, it has been turning from sadness to joy, from bitterness to sweetness.It felt more like telling another story.

As if a sad person, with his memories, poured out his thoughts to the sea in this endless night, mixed with sorrow and joy, thinking about some beautiful past events. "

Masaharu Fukuyama marveled at Kazuki Akiyama's easy-to-use melody, which is simple but charming.

"Sure enough, inviting Qiushan Jun here today is an extremely correct decision.

In the future, every time Qiushan Jun comes to participate in a show, he can share a new song with everyone, which is definitely a wonderful thing. "

"If that's the case, please allow me to refuse." Kazuki Akiyama ignored his flattery, "Do you think composing music is as easy as eating and drinking?"

"Others don't know, Qiu Shan-jun must be fine."

"Stop it"

...

An hour was quickly spent in the bickering between the two.As the number of times he participates in radio programs increases, he can easily deal with various problems prepared by the program group.

Cooperating with familiar people, chatting is becoming more and more open, without the restraint of facing the camera, it seems more casual.

At the end of the program, the director of the program group really pulled him, and Masaharu Fukuyama went to a nearby 24-hour izakaya for supper.

It was already past one o'clock in the morning when we came out of the NBC building, and the streets outside were much quieter.

Occasionally, in the corner of the alleyway by the roadside, there is a dark and lingering figure, either a homeless tramp, or a social animal in a suit and leather tie who has not returned home with a hangover.

Walking into an izakaya that was still brightly lit and full of people, a few people just sat down and picked up the menu to order.

"Qiu Shanjun?" A surprise interrupted the conversation of several people.

　thanks for your support!
