I became a girl group idol for my sister

The person who stood in front of Miyamoto Se was a reporter from a tabloid newspaper. He was holding a microphone and asking Miyamoto Se.

“I am very grateful for the support of fans, and I hope more people can come and listen to our songs. Although we may not be as good as those professional singers, we have been working hard to show our best side to everyone!

"Love you!"

It was a very formal answer. After saying it, Miyamoto Sei tilted her head slightly towards the camera and stuck out her tongue.

Of course, we can’t miss this kind of publicity opportunity that comes to our doorstep!

Looking at the daily sales which kept climbing, he felt like his whole body was on fire. He was eager to see what kind of performance their single would achieve on the weekly chart one week later!

Chapter 91: Absolute First

School starts on January 1th, then we take care of some things, and classes officially begin on the 11th.

Of course, Miyamoto Se had to attend the classes on the 12th, which was the day of formal classes, and stay in school at least in the morning.

As the last semester of my second year of high school, this will probably be the most relaxing period of my life...

After all, even in Japan, when one enters the third year of high school, everything becomes tense, and he became a senior in April.

I will become a senior in high school in April, and then take part in the general election in June. These two months should be my busiest time.

Miyamoto Se secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the book in his hand listlessly, or rather, pretended to read a book.

"Miyamoto-kun!"

The one who came over with a strange cry was Kenta Iwakami. As a friend whom I hadn't seen for more than a month, he seemed very enthusiastic.

"Let me hug you, I feel like I lack the aura of a girl right now, I need to replenish my energy!"

The right hand stretched out and grabbed Kenta Iwagami's head. The huge force was like a pair of pliers that made it difficult to break free. Kenta Iwagami couldn't help but wail.

"It hurts, hurts, hurts!"

"So, you don't go find those girls you can usually go to KTV with to replenish your energy, but come to me, a man?"

"No, no, no, of course it's because you are more feminine than many women!" Kenta Iwakami said, and Miyamoto Seo used more force with his right hand.

“It hurts, it hurts! Let go! Let go! I surrender!”

Kojiro let go of his hand and walked up to look at Iwagami Kenta who had finally escaped and couldn't help but sigh: "If you act like this, Guang-chan might not want to shake hands with you if she finds out."

"No, I won't. I am devoted to Guang-chan!"

Ignoring the other party's roar, Kojiro sat down next to the two of them and talked about some recent hot news.

"Come to think of it, the sales of the graduate student's "Sengoku Girls" in the past few days have added up to almost 20,000 sales. Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"It has a lot of staying power, but I don't know how long it can last. In fact, the sales of a new single are the hottest in the first week, and the sales will plummet from the second week onwards. So even though it looks strong now, I predict that the sales in the next few weeks will not be very high."

Kenta Iwakami, as expected of someone who has been following idols for a long time, immediately made an analysis, and his analysis was very reasonable.

Miyamoto Se also nodded secretly, he agreed with the other party's words.

"What about Miyamoto? What do you think?" Kojiro looked at Miyamoto Se, obviously wanting to hear Miyamoto Se's opinion.

"I agree with him. Even though the sales are approaching 10,000 per day now, and maybe even more than 10,000 in the next two days, after the first week, the sales in the following weeks may be less than one-tenth of that. If we assume that the book has been on the charts for ten weeks, it will be difficult to break 100,000."

“Hey, hey, hey, this is too much to ask. They just debuted, and they’re graduate students. This exaggerated daily sales, and this skyrocketing rate, has already made many people who have debuted for many years want to cry, okay?!”

Ryo Uyama came over. As a fan of Miyamoto Nana, he didn't pay much attention to Miyamoto Se, which made Miyamoto Se very confident in his cross-dressing ability.

"That's right. Their results are already very good overall. It's a bit unreasonable to compare them directly with the top ones. But there's nothing we can do about it. They are under the name of SKR, so there will definitely be people who think that this result doesn't live up to the name."

Kenta Iwakami shook his head, while Ryo Uyama clenched his fists.

"I've saved up 30,000 yen, I just need to save a little more! Wait for the general election this time!"

It is obvious that Ryo Uyama is full of fighting spirit at this moment, and this also makes Kenta Iwakami clench his fists.

"That's right, just wait for this general election!"

You two, your opinions seem to be different. Are you planning to fight?

Miyamoto Se watched from the side, thinking silently.

But he has saved more than 30,000 yuan, which means he has been working and saving money during the holidays... No wonder I haven't seen him in public performances during this period of time.

……

Tuesday, October 1nd.

The Oricon weekly rankings are announced!

In the dance studio, a group of people looked at the open mobile phone screens cautiously. Many of them even swallowed. They were all very nervous at this moment.

Miyamoto Seo was also staring at his phone. Although he pretended not to be nervous, the sweat on his palms actually revealed his inner feelings at the moment.

It's impossible to say I'm not nervous!

Then, the web page was opened, and in the video, there was a person who was broadcasting.

[160117, Oricon Weekly Singles Chart is released. Let’s see what the difference is between this chart and the last one!]

[First, the 30th place is...]

"Come in, come in!"

"Yeah, come on in!"

Several people immediately urged it to continue, not wanting to look at the previous ones at all, so Miyamoto Sei slid across the screen very tactfully, and the progress bar instantly moved forward a long distance.

[No. 4164 is a single sung by Biology Stock Chief... This single, released last May, still has good sales, with weekly sales of copies this time.]

[No. 5160, Johnny's Hey!Say!JUMP, with weekly sales reaching copies.]

[Next up is the competition for the top ten!]

[No. 5392, SKG, a girl group from the Tianbei family, with weekly sales of copies!]

SKG is a sister group founded in Nagoya. It is named after the azalea, so it is abbreviated as SKG. The team name is naturally named Team S. However, because SKR is the first team founded, it has already occupied the name of Team S, so SKG's Team S is actually called Team S II.

By analogy, there is a sister group in Osaka called AJS (Hydrangea), and its Team S is called Team S III.

Because they were all created by Tenbei Lisa, they are called Tenbei girl group.

[Ninth place, Girls’ Generation, weekly sales 6548 copies!]

[6685th place, EXILE, weekly sales copies! ]

[No. 7800, SKR, a girl group from the Tenbei style, with ponytail and hair band, with weekly sales of copies!]

[No. 8786, Ku Ku La, with weekly sales of copies! ]

[Fifth place, Tianbei girl group SKR, Beginner, weekly sales 10502 copies! ]

[Fourth place, Tianbei girl group SKR, weekly sales 10684 copies! ]

[Third place, Tianbei girl group SKR, endless replay, weekly sales of 12901 copies! ]

[Second place, Uemura Kanae, the goddess of the toilet, weekly sales of 22954 copies! ]

The scene changed, and a big first place appeared on the screen, spinning, about one or two seconds apart from the finish of the second place.

Then, the final results were announced.

Familiar music came out from inside. It was the music that everyone studied hard and then filmed for the MV. The screen showed what they had filmed, fighting in armor, playing in kimonos, everything was in it.

Everyone was laughing and singing happily.

[First place! Team Sengoku Girls, a subsidiary of the girl group SKR, with weekly sales of 59026 copies!]

Looking at this result, no one cheered and everyone was silent. Although everyone had some guesses at the beginning, when they actually saw the number, they were still a little scared.

[Although they are a girl group of the Tenbei Group and are affiliated with the headquarters SKR, everyone initially thought that this single would not have much success, but the reality is that the data gave many people a slap in the face!]

[As a newly debuted girl group, and a graduate student group, and not even officially debuted, with no promotion, they were able to sell nearly 60,000 copies in the first week. This is really surprising! ]

On the screen, the UP host who was reporting the news seemed extremely excited, and it was obvious that he was also shocked by the result.

[Finally, with the promotion of the weekly chart, these girls are known by more people. I don’t know if this belated advertising campaign can increase sales for the girls. I dare not be too sure, but what is certain is that this time the postgraduate students showed a completely different look than before! ]

[I have a friend who is a veteran idol fan. He excitedly told me that he saw the appearance of the first generation of SKR girl group in the graduate students. Perhaps this is why Teacher Tianbei dug so many holes for these graduate students. Let us wait and see how much these graduate students will grow! ]

The video ended, and after a brief silence, the atmosphere was finally broken.

"I, we actually sold nearly 60,000 copies?!" Yokoyama Nai's voice seemed to be trembling, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

Kojima Haruka reached out her hand and held the other person's hand, her voice trembling in the same way: "It's true, we really became the weekly sales champion of CD singles!"

“We are actually the weekly champions!”

"We sold over 59,000 copies in the first week. I never dreamed of that!"

Everyone started talking to each other excitedly. Miyamoto Se stared at the screen for a while, then slowly exhaled.

Not only did they make it into the top ten, but they also took first place. The most important thing is that they got first place with an overwhelming advantage!

Although this is also because the songs ranked in the top few are almost all old songs that have been sold for several months, this cannot deny one thing.

The members of Team Graduate Student have brought their first single since their debut to the weekly champion status!

And that person's last words also reminded Miyamoto Se.

The release of the Oricon weekly chart is equivalent to free publicity. It was not very effective in the past because there had been all kinds of overwhelming publicity, which concealed the level of publicity. However, their singles are the opposite. There is almost no publicity. Therefore, through this weekly chart, they will enter the eyes of people who do not belong to the fan group.

If this happens, what impact will it have on this week’s sales?

It is certain that it will not be as good as the total sales of the first week, but maybe we can prevent the performance from dropping to one-tenth of the level and allow the good results to last a little longer.

This time, the total sales in ten weeks may have a chance to break through the 100,000 copy mark.

……

Japanese creative idol company JC.

"The new village girl of the Village Girl Group has come out." The middle-aged man wearing glasses smiled as he looked through the Oricon charts. "They don't even want to do a little promotion. This Tianbei is really stingy. If I were in charge, the first-week sales of this work could at least double, or even triple."

This man is the president of JC Club, Kenta Noo, and he has many boy bands and girl bands under his name.

"Boss, what do you want to talk to me about?" The member looked at his boss respectfully and asked about his intentions.

"Check the information of these graduate students for me. By the way, make some preparations. In March, let Miya release a new single. If she wants to write the lyrics and compose the music, you should know who to contact."

Noo Kenta picked up a cigarette and lit it.

"Go ahead and do it. The publicity budget for Miya this time is 30 billion yen. Suppress the momentum of those little country girls. You can also call various media outlets. They don't need headlines!"

"3, 30 billion?!" the member stuttered. He had never expected that this time the amount would be so huge. This was definitely the publicity cost needed to create a top star.

It was obvious that this time their president was going to do something drastic and let everyone know about their company's rising star, the teenage idol Miya.

"What are you surprised about? It's only 30 billion. Anyway, as long as we promote it, we can make back our investment by taking on a few commercials or filming a few TV series."

Seeing Nobi Kanta so calm, the staff also calmed down a lot. He nodded immediately: "Yes, I'll do it right away!"

"Those country girls have been dancing for so long, it's time for them to get down." Nobi Kan'ta slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, watching it slowly float up into the air: "Let's kill the future of the country girls first. In a year or two, the only people in the Japanese idol group will be from our JC company."

Before the employee left, Nobi Kanta suddenly asked, "What do you think idols need to survive in this industry?"

When the members saw the president asking them questions, they immediately racked their brains, trying to come up with a good answer.

"Strength? Appearance?"

"Strength? Appearance? No, none of them." Noo Kan'ta shook his head: "Most people don't care about strength, as long as the character is likable. As for appearance, you can just spend money on plastic surgery. As long as you have enough money and an agency with enough connections, you can make a person the most dazzling star.

"On the other hand, what is needed is that the person who is promoted has enough ambition to bear the investment in her and further transform it into his own strength. So in other words, only those who despise everything and want to become the king of idols are capable enough to be used by us."

Having said that, Noo Kan'ta's smile became even more intense.

"Miya is a born king, the king of idols. To her, everyone else is just a commoner. In the eyes of this woman, there is only herself!

"This woman is going to defeat those poor graduate students now, and in the future, she will also defeat the entire SKR girl group!"

As Nobi Kanta spoke, his eyes widened and were filled with ambition.
