Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 72 The Kingslayer Samsung Platinum Record

After half a month,

The "250 nanometer audio chip" that Takakura Bunta has high hopes for has also begun to be put on sale in the return version, the first version, and the star version of Amuro Namie's co-branded lipstick...

The four versions of lipstick are all embedded with 250nm audio chips.

However, the market response was obviously less than expected.

Just increasing sales from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands will not be able to cover the cost of self-developed chips.

…………

A photolithography machine has a very important indicator called WPH, which is unit production capacity per hour.

The Nikon lithography machine used by Toshiba Semiconductor can already achieve 250WPH of 1.5nm process chips, which means it can process 1 chips per hour.

The monthly sales volume of Amuro Namie's co-branded lipstick is only a few hundred thousand units, which can only consume one working day of Toshiba Semiconductor's production capacity each month.

Faced with the unsalable 250-nanometer audio chips in the warehouse, Mizuno Doyu proposed to pay 1 million yen in liquidated damages and terminate the cooperation with Toshiba Semiconductor.

However, Takakura Bunta always felt unwilling to do so.

After racking his brains, he took advantage of the information gap between his two generations to buy out the copyrights of some super IP dolls.

For example: "Sailor Moon", "Inuyasha", "Detective Conan", etc...

As these newcomer comics begin to take off...

Mizuno Electronics Co., Ltd., which bought the copyright to the dolls in advance, consumed part of its inventory of 250nm audio chips by mass-producing doll peripherals.

However, the overall inventory situation is still very serious.

....................................

Compared with Mizuno Electronics’ difficulties in destocking chips,

The total sales of Beasts rock band's "Kill, Miracle, Heart" album have exceeded 3000 million copies, less than two months before the album was released.

The hit songs "Miracle Reappears", "Clouds Turn into Rain", "Kill That Tokyo Man", and "Heart Made" continue to dominate the Oricon song charts.

Among them, "Heart Made" by Beast Rock Band topped the singles chart, dominating the chart for five consecutive weeks, and by the way won the monthly championship on the Oricon Chart.

Last month, Miyuki Nakajima released the album "たかが爱" (Just Love), the title song of which "たかが爱" quickly entered the top ten of the Oricon charts.

However, after "My Love" reached fifth place, it was unable to move forward. It was firmly blocked by "Miracle Reappearance" in fourth place and "Clouds and Smoke Turning into Rain" in third place...

…………

According to the album rank of Dark Star World:

Gold records, platinum records, diamond records.

A gold record is considered a gold record if it sells 100 million copies, a platinum record is a record if it sells 1000 million copies, and a diamond record is a record if it sells 1 million copies.

…………

Gold records are a means of rewarding singers who record records.

If a certain album recorded by a singer can sell more than one million copies, including the concept of one million copies.

The record recording unit plated a layer of gold on the surface of the million and one record and rewarded it to the singer.

After sales exceed one million, two million is a two-star gold record, five million is a five-star gold record, and so on...

…………

The first unit in the world to implement the Golden Record Award was a radio company in the United States. It was awarded to Glenn Meagher, the singer of the song "Chattanooga, Chirp, Chirp."

Currently, the individual winner with the most Golden Record Awards is Michael Jackson of the United States.

He has been awarded a total of 120 gold records.

…………   Among the large number of new singers every year, such as supernova Namie Amuro, whose first album "Try Me" can win a gold record, she is a genius singer who is only seen once in decades... …

"Kill, Miracle, Heart", a makeshift group, sold 3000 million albums and was promoted to Samsung Platinum Record.

No one thought that Takakura Bunta would be ridiculed as a stepping stone for the King of Japanese Music to ascend to the throne just a few months ago.

Now the first album is so outrageous.

Moreover, there are two songs in the album "Kill, Miracle, Heart", "Miracle Reappears" and "Yun Yan Cheng Yu", which are the theme songs of the overseas version of the TV series.

With the popularity of "Ultraman Tega" and "Love with a Kiss" in the Red Earth Continent, the two theme songs have also become popular...

The Red Earth Continent is one of Diablo's largest music consumer markets, which makes the distribution of the "Kill, Miracle, Heart" album in the Red Earth Continent very smooth.

"JPop" magazine predicts that with the blessing of the Red Continent, Asia's largest market, the cumulative sales of the "Kill, Miracle, Heart" album may reach 5000 million copies.

An authoritative music magazine like "Japanese Pop" gave such a terrifying prediction, which shocked the entire Japanese music scene.

…………

Burning Production, which was at odds with Johnny's, hailed Bunta Takakura as "the first person to break the monopoly of male idols";

Johnny's fans call Takakura Bunta the "Kingslayer";

Kondo Masahiko Fan Club claims that Takakura Bunta killed a generation of pop music kings, severely damaged the development of the Japanese music scene, and is a sinner of the Japanese cultural industry;

…………

The album's hot sales and the focus of public opinion have enabled the three members of the Beasts rock band to gain a lot of exposure and popularity.

The team management of Beasts Rock Band is relatively free.

In addition to participating in activities in the name of the band, at other times, Takakura Bunta, Nakamori Akina and Tony Futaki all develop independently.

Now, the three of them are taking advantage of this period of super popularity to maximize resources and lay a solid foundation for their next stage.

…………

Kanda Keiko provided Takakura Bunta with some film and television drama offers.

Today's Takakura Bunta is no longer the kind of small role that plays a role in the role of a passerby.

The roles given by film and television production companies also have important supporting roles to complete the character's growth curve.

In addition, there are three invitations from TV stations to play the leading role.

…………

However, the thing that troubled Takakura Bunta the most.

Or the inventory accumulation of "250 nanometer audio chips"...

Ding dong... ding dong ding dong...

The doorbell rang, and Takakura Bunta used the electronic peephole to check. It was Mizuno Doyue coming up from the twenty-fourth floor.

When Mizuno Tangyue arrived at Takakura Bunta's apartment, he didn't even enter the living room to sit down. He handed over a production schedule at the entrance...

"Nani? Rei Hino series doll?"

Takakura Bunta checked the data items on the form again to make sure he had read it correctly.

Shuiye Tang Yuehui reported: "The current sales volume this month is 100 million pieces, and pre-orders from South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Xiangjiang have accumulated to 1000 million pieces."

"I have contacted Toshiba Semiconductor and asked them to open another machine to meet our needs for 250nm audio chips..."

Bunta Takakura said: "What is going on? Sales of dolls have skyrocketed?"

Mizuno Tangyue took out an exquisite red gift box...
