Chapter 22 Letters and Phone Calls
TIE-UP is the combination of songs and commercials, movies, TV dramas, animations, events, competitions, etc. as the theme song, ending song, etc.

In this way, the audience will hear the matching songs when watching related programs, so as to increase the exposure rate. This is a kind of commercial promotion method of songs, and it has become very common now.

Don't underestimate such a bundled promotion, let's say that a Mahaha pure water in the past life in China, the song "The Only" and that pure water became household names because of this kind of advertisement, it can be said that they have achieved each other.

Now Being has started to find various TIE-UPs for its singers to carry out matching promotions, such as "Dragon Ball", Pocari Sweat series advertisements, etc.

Time soon enters the end of August, and Kazuki Akiyama's first single is expected to be released on September [-]nd, which happens to be Wednesday.

Most of RB's CDs are released on Wednesdays. This is because the ORICON chart will count the sales of the past week on Tuesdays, so if the release date is on Wednesdays, the sales will be counted into the next week.

If it is released on Monday, it will be counted into the sales of the previous week. Then the sales will become your own one day compared to other people's one week. Naturally, it is a loss, so the basic CDs are released on Wednesdays. Of course, there are some unusual ones. singer.

It is said to be released on Wednesday, but record stores usually put on the shelves the CDs that are ready to be released on Wednesday on Tuesday afternoon.

We can’t just slowly put it up when the doors open the next day. Some impatient fans can’t wait for their idol’s CD to hit the shelves so slowly. It’s common to call and complain.

Therefore, CDs released on Wednesday are generally available on Tuesday afternoon, which is the so-called "sneak run".

The finished CD has been made, and Kazuki Akiyama also got a few. Kazuki Akiyama picked up one and looked at it carefully.

It is a very small CD, the film of the outer packaging is torn off, and the cover of Kazuki Akiyama who is holding the guitar sideways is very beautifully printed.

It looks more star-like than Johnny’s idols at the moment. Open the back of the cover to find the lyrics, and then the disc itself. It can be said that the current 8cm CD basically has this simple configuration.

Kazuki Akiyama got several CDs, and first sent one to his hometown in Tochigi. His current guitar skills and pursuit of music are inseparable from the support of his family when he was a child.

In particular, his mother was strict with him and often encouraged him to pursue his musical dreams.Now that I have released my first CD, the first person I think of is my mother.

Originally, this song can be regarded as gratitude to my parents. I think my mother must be very pleased to receive her CD. There is also a bunch of bananas sent back with the CD. In RB, bananas represent endless longing.

In addition to sending to family members, there are also Gen Hasegawa from Hokkaido, Yuta Kimura from Kansai, and Kazuki Akiyama still remember what Gen Hasegawa said to himself at the last gathering of the band.

In addition to the CD sent, Akiyama Kazuki also attached a letter to Hasegawa Gen.

"Mr. Yuan:
Greetings from Jiushu, I don't know how your life is in Hokkaido.

It has been more than three months since the last farewell to Tokyo, and the bands of the past seem like yesterday.

I have never slacked off in the music business, Yuan Jun's dream is on my shoulders, how can I let it not shine?

Now I finally have a little bit of success, my first CD will be released soon, remembering that our dream at that time was just to have our own CD, and now I have finally fulfilled the promise at that time.

Now I specially send a CD to Yuan Jun. I hope Yuan Jun will not forget our friendship. Welcome to Tokyo when you have time. Takumi-kun always misses you.

I heard that the snow scene in Hokkaido is very charming. If Yuan-jun is free, can you take two photos and send them to me?
I wish Wu Yun Changlong!
Akiyama Kazuki Pen"

As for the other Kazuki Akiyamas, no one needed to send them specially, so he turned around and prepared to call his younger brother, telling him that his first CD would be released soon.

Akiyama Kazuki dialed his younger brother's pager, and a call came back after a while.

Pick up the phone "Zhendou, it's me."

"Brother?!" Akiyama Shinto was very surprised when he heard that it was his brother who called, and then he couldn't help complaining, "Brother, why haven't you called back in the past half a year? My mother often mentioned you, saying that the economy is not good now, If it doesn’t work, you can go back to your hometown first.”

"Cough...Because I have to be busy with some things and I'm going to call you right now." Kazuki Akiyama explained with a guilty conscience. At the same time, he also had some feelings in his heart, and he was also cared about by others.

"Really?" Akiyama Manto just complained casually. After all, with his brother's dull temper, it is normal operation to call once every six months.

"Madou, I sent a package to my family, which contains the first CD that I will release soon..."

"Hey! My brother is going to release a CD?! Could it be that my brother paid for it and recorded a few private CDs?"

Akiyama Kazuki was interrupted by his younger brother before he finished speaking, and his cheap younger brother's jumpy temper was not changed at all from the way he remembered.

It is no wonder that Akiyama Manto thinks this way, because it is really hard to imagine that the dull brother will make a mainstream debut, and his taciturn temperament is hard to be favored by those big companies.

Akiyama Kazuki is also very helpless towards his younger brother. Although the two have very different personalities, they have a very good relationship since childhood, and they speak very casually.

"Aren't you underestimating my brother? I'm making a mainstream debut this time. Does Being know?"

"Being Company? Is that Being Company?!" Akiyama Manto suddenly raised his voice.

"It's the Being company."

"The Being company of B'z?"

"Ha ~ Yi ~"

"Si Guoyi! Brother, has your music soul finally awakened?! Are you going to charge towards the highest peak?! Do it, Dad! Brother!"

What is this all about? Since when did my cheap little brother become so middle school? If he hadn't heard the right voice, Kazuki Akiyama would have suspected that he had made a wrong call.

"Madou, you shut up first. The package I sent back must be handed over to my mother. You can't open it privately. Do you hear me? I'll bring you a gift when I go back for the New Year."

Hearing the gift, Akiyama Shinto instantly sensed the elements,
"Any gift is fine? I want the latest SFC game console!"

"Madou, you are already a high school student, do you still want to play the game consoles played by children?" In Kazuki Akiyama's impression, aren't game consoles only played by children?

For example, Uncle Mario, in his previous life, he only played in elementary school and middle school, and basically didn’t touch it much when he entered high school. He always felt a little naive, and he yearned more for various PC games in Internet cafes.

However, Kazuki Akiyama really underestimated the love of the island people for game consoles.

"Brother! This is the most popular game console now, and the one who buys the most is an adult like you. How can you say it's childish."

Hearing Akiyama Shinto's complaints on the phone, Akiyama Kazuki perfunctorily said "Hay~Hay"

"Anyway, don't forget that you must hand it to your mother, and you can't open it privately, otherwise your game console will be gone."

"Don't worry, Akiyama-san! The mission must be completed!"

Hanging up the phone, Akiyama Kazuki let out a sigh of relief, he hadn't contacted his family for so long.

On the one hand, he was unable to adapt at the beginning, and on the other hand, he felt a little guilty. After all, he is not the original body, and he is always worried about what his performance will show them. After all, the people who know you best must be your family members.

Now that the phone call is over, I feel a lot more relaxed. Although I have an extra bond, I am also worried about it, which seems good.

As for Ishida Takumi, the CD should be given to him by himself, and I will be promoting the new song later, so I will definitely be busy for a while.

At this time, Ishida Takumi is needed to help. After talking with him last time, because Akiyama Kazuki has been busy recording, he does not need help for the time being.

But there shouldn't be such a leisurely time alone in the future.
