Chapter 64 Climbing to the top
In the morning, Kazuki Akiyama went downstairs to the restaurant he frequented to have some breakfast. Although he could cook, but now he was getting busier and less and less chance to cook by himself.

Walking into the store and sitting down at the familiar window seat, the waiter rushed over and greeted Kazuki Akiyama excitedly, "Good morning Akiyama-san."

"Good morning Yuko, as usual, one serving of seafood ramen and one serving of fried dumplings." Kazuki Akiyama also greeted her with a smile.

"Hay." Youzi agreed with a crisp voice full of vitality, and then whispered admiringly after a pause,

"Akiyama-san's performance last night was really wonderful! Especially when he played the piano, he was so handsome, and the tune was also very nice, really amazing."

"Hey, did Yuko watch the show last night?"

"It's not just me, everyone is watching." Yuko motioned Kazuki Akiyama to look around.

Sure enough, after Kazuki Akiyama looked around, he found that several customers in the store looked at this side from time to time. It seems that the ratings of Music Station's programs are quite impressive.

At this time, he didn't know that the ratings of the time period of his performance last night once exceeded 20%, which was a full 15 points higher than the average ratings of 5% in previous episodes.

5 percentage points may not seem like much, but converted into the number of viewers, it may be millions of people watching more than other time periods.

Within ten minutes of having breakfast, two or three young girls couldn't resist coming over to ask for autographs, and Kazuki Akiyama kindly signed autographs for each of them.

But he didn't dare to stay longer after finishing his breakfast in a hurry, for fear of attracting more and more people.

When I passed by a convenience store on the way back, I saw the entertainment newspaper's report on my performance last night.

Most of the titles are "Akiyama Kazuki's new debut! Popularity!", "Kill! Akiyama Kazuki's single detonated!" and so on.

Of course, the famous scene of being hugged by a female audience was also indispensable, which was published on the front page of the gossip tabloid as the cover.

"Dangerous! Akiyama Kazuki is in danger of losing his life on stage!"

What the hell, it's like I'm participating in some indecent program.

Without time to think about it, Kazuki Akiyama hurried back to the apartment. With the current battle, maybe if he stayed on the road for a while, he would be regarded as a rare animal.

Hmm, but I just saw a report that my single sold well?

The fact is, as he thought, when the show was broadcast, quite a few viewers became fans of him.

This clean boy, handsome and talented, looks gentle and courteous, he has won the hearts of many ladies.

"Xia Mei, hurry up, maybe you won't be able to buy it if you go late."

"Hay, but Akiyama-san's single is really popular. I heard that there are two photos of Akiyama-san in it. It's really sincere."

The elegant and calm wife who was twisting her hips next to them heard their conversation, and couldn't help but quicken her pace and took small steps. Qiu Shanjun's photo is not to be missed. If you go slowly, there may be no more. Hurry up, buy, buy, buy!

These two days happened to be Saturday and Sunday, and there were long queues in major record stores, holding Kazuki Akiyama's latest single in their hands.

Even with the first single that was about to drop out of the charts, sales have improved somewhat.

Fortunately, Taiyuki Nagato had already prepared for it, knowing that there would be a wave of sales in the future, and he had already prepared enough goods before Kazuki Akiyama's show.

However, in the past day, we have been receiving requests from major record stores to urge shipments, so we contacted the audio-visual company to urgently print a batch overnight, only to ease the supply demand a little.

The last time Yoshisuke Kuwata interviewed Kazuki Akiyama was also published in the music magazine "WHAT'S IN". In the article, Yoshisuke Kuwata highly praised Kazuki Akiyama's musical talent.

"When I first heard Qiu Shanjun's debut single, my first impression was that he was a young man with some ideas, and his voice was very nice and recognizable, and he might have good results.

The C/W "Bamboo Field Lullaby" on the back further confirms my thoughts, and the adaptation is very interesting.

At that time, I was thinking that this young man might be able to bring something different to the RB music world.

Now that I hear Akiyama-kun's second single, this idea is even more firm.

The first single achieved good results, if according to the choice of most people, it must be to chase after the victory, continue this style to further expand the advantage and consolidate its popularity.

At first I thought so too, but when I heard Qiu Shanjun's second single, I realized that I had unknowingly carried a stereotype and looked at this newcomer in the music scene from a bird's-eye view.

Facts have also proved that my thoughts are very biased. This single made me recognize Qiu Shanjun's creative talent again.

It's not a rock full of BEING flavor, but a very rare lyrical J-POP. The tone is not as high-pitched and clear as the first song, but full of lingering tenderness.

If I didn't already know that these two songs were written by Qiu Shanjun, I would suspect that they were written by two people with completely different styles.

And C/W's "Good Evening Moon" is more like telling the girl's heart, and the lingering love song on the A side, one positive and one harmony, echoing each other from a distance, there is a wonderful sense of harmony.

From this point, it can also be seen that Qiushan Jun's success in his first single is not due to luck, nor is he a Yifawu singer. He is a singer-songwriter who can create high-quality songs in different styles.

I believe that as long as he can continue to bring us high-quality songs, he will definitely have a place in the increasingly competitive RB music scene in the future. "

The release of this magazine added fuel to Kazuki Akiyama's latest single. Together with the MUSIC STATION program, the sales of this single pushed to another peak.

As expected, in the latest week's ORICON singles list, "Encounter" won the No.25 weekly list with a super high sales volume of 1 copies. This figure also shocked the industry.

A rookie who just debuted this year has sold two consecutive singles, especially the second one is at its peak, and his performance will definitely be even better.

Just based on the current sales volume, the two singles are enough to enter this year's ORICON singles list.

The industry has to lament that BEING has gone to hell again, and the storm of BEING in the music world is unstoppable.

At the same time, I am also curious about where BEING unearthed such a treasured singer. Kazuki Akiyama voted for the demo, and even called several firms that he consulted on the phone. A dog blood sprinkler was installed.

However, although BEING is strong in the top of the list, at the end of the year, various record companies are still trying their best to release records for singers. The new year is coming, and the purchase tide at the end of the year should not be missed.

　Thank you for your recommendation and support!
