Lin Junxiu still arranged AKB48’s first performance on December 1st. I hope that this day, which symbolizes the beginning of a new month, can bring good luck to AKB48 in this dimension. Compared with other dimensions, this

AKB48 still seems to have little impression in the media and the public. Even in the questionnaire of market researchers arranged by Vernalossom Production Company, less than 5% of people said they had heard of AKB48, and that was because of Junsu Lin or Lin Junxiu.

Yasushi Akimoto.

However, the one thing that has a slight advantage over the previous dimension is the Internet. Because AKB48 and Vernalossom Production Company have opened official eblos early, and they can lead the topic on 2ch, so AKB48 is still a bit popular among Internet nerds.

Well-known. But the problem is that these Internet nerds are not very willing to go out, so whether they can convert into real AKB48 fans is still a question mark.

"Akimoto-sensei's creative energy is really strong." In October, Akimoto Yasushi had arranged all the stage performances for AKB48's first performance.

In addition to some classic songs of girl idols composed by Yasushi Akimoto in his early years, most of them are new songs composed recently by Yasushi Akimoto. Of course, Yasushi Akimoto's creative ability mainly lies in lyrics, but he can find so many composers who have unified styles.

After the music was composed, Yasushi Akimoto himself filled in the girly lyrics, which has to be said to be a skill. Therefore, Lin Junxiu was amazed.

Lin Junxiu doesn't plan to write too many songs, because he can copy them and they've already been hyped. There are too many songs under AKB48's name. It would be great if Lin Junxiu can remember those few hits. He really needs to remember them all.

Then he was reincarnated as a computer.

"Actually, I'm looking forward to your music, Jun Lin. Your originality is very good." Yasushi Akimoto also praised Lin Junxiu. "By the way, have the girls' costumes been finalized? And the official makeup?

When will the makeup photos be taken?”

When an artist debuts or has a new work released, it is actually the hardest time for the team behind him, because in order to cooperate with the promotion, a large amount of promotional materials often need to be produced. Just take several sets of photos, especially if AKB48 is a group, each set also requires

Ensure that all members have a consistent style and that there is coherence and distinction between sets.

This is a big test for the team's costumers, and Shinobu Kayano is indeed worried about the costumes. Although the performance costumes of Japanese idols are often criticized by domestic fans for being too exaggerated, the performance of these costumes on the stage is indeed very good.

Not bad. In addition to clothing, the makeup required for each outfit is also a difficult problem.

"Naomi-chan, don't touch the information on the table. It took me a long time to get it right." When Shinobu Kayano was busy in his office, Naomi Watanabe happened to come to see her after school.

In addition to taking the courses of ordinary artist trainees, Naomi Watanabe was also required to be exposed to the field of fashion, especially in the three areas of clothing, makeup and photography. Originally, Naomi Watanabe thought she would have to do more in addition to heavy schoolwork and make-up classes.

It would be very hard to be busy with these things, but later she found that she actually enjoyed it. Some things, once they become a hobby, are not hard to do.

It is also Naomi Watanabe's habit to come to Shinobu Kayano. After all, Shinobu Kayano is very capable in fashion design. And an excellent fashion designer usually also has research on makeup. After all, when his work is going to be on the catwalk,

At that time, makeup suggestions still needed to be provided by designers to makeup artists. Now Shinobu Kayano is matching makeup with the performance clothes she designed. Although she cannot give specific makeup, she can still describe the color and feeling she wants.

from.

"Is this the makeup you wear? It's really old-fashioned and doesn't look like the idols of our time at all." Naomi Watanabe took a few glances and gave her own opinion. "Kayano-san, you really should go out.

Come on, you can't hold back your inspiration at home."

"Yes, you are obviously a real girl, why should I figure it out on my own?" Shinobu Kayano knew that Naomi Watanabe was very talented in fashion sense, so he pulled her over, "Tell me, what is popular now?"

What kind of makeup?”

"Transparent, moist and a little metallic luster is the fashion trend this year, especially pink color is my favorite." Naomi Watanabe took out a photo of herself and her classmates, "Did you see that Barbie pink lip color is the most popular color this year?

Woolen cloth."

Shinobu Kayano did not speak to Naomi Watanabe, but quietly looked at the photo sticker in her hand. After reading it, Shinobu Kayano overturned all the original matching, and suddenly said: "I have an inspiration now! You can go.

Don't disturb me, I have to start work now."

While the team was busy preparing repertoire, costumes, etc., the girls were also arranged for special sports training in addition to regular rehearsals. Since the performance stage lasted for a week, and each stage performance required at least 16 people, it was necessary

Their physical strength and physique must be up to standard. At the same time, the girls’ meals have also been much more nutritious. Everything is for a smooth performance!

On November 24, invitation letters signed by Yasushi Akimoto and Junxiu Lin and issued in the name of Vernalossom Productions have been sent to major media in Tokyo. Not only TV media and print media, but also radio media and online media

None of them were left behind. Both Akimoto Yasushi and Lin Junxiu knew that AKB48's reputation was not good at all, and even if they had invitations, they might not be able to attract these media.

So Lin Junxiu had no choice but to ask all shareholders in the board of directors to use their own efforts to invite these media to visit, and at least to ensure that there would be no problems on the media performance day. At the same time, the contract between Vernalossom Production Club and the advertising agency was basically signed.

AKB48's promotional materials will gradually appear in popular areas throughout the Tokyo metropolitan area this week.

On November 25, major TV stations and radio stations in Japan successively broadcast the programs recorded by Yasushi Akimoto and Junxiu Lin. Since Lin Junxiu changed his career as a director, he has basically stopped participating in the recording of TV programs; Yasushi Akimoto is also very casual,

Except for occasionally participating in a few programs produced by acquaintances, they rarely appear on TV stations. Now the two are willing to appear on programs together, whether it is variety shows, information programs, or even boring late-night conversations

The two of them did not shirk the program. The premise is that they should properly recommend AKB48 in the program. In addition to the TV station's recorded programs, the two also ran many live broadcast programs on the radio during this period. Naturally, they were in the program.

It is necessary to talk about AKB48.

On November 28, the AKB48 Theater on the eighth floor of the Don Quixote Building was finally officially opened to the public. Although no media came to interview, the corresponding promotional photos were still posted on the Internet. And on the wall of the corridor coming out of the elevator, all the

The official photos of the officially selected team members are also hung neatly on the wall. Although it only occupies a small area of ​​the wall now, it will definitely be filled in the future.

In the years when AKB48 was most popular, only the most popular members were eligible to be posted, and the photos of the rest could only be moved to the wall of the Live House. At that time, due to the small use area, coffee shops and official

The peripheral store was just a flash in the pan, and was then moved outside the Don Quijote building. But this time, due to the sufficient usable area and the participation of a professional design company in the planning, sufficient area was left for the coffee shop and peripheral stores. Of course, in the future,

We’ll talk about it later when we open a branch.

On November 29, all members, including the family members of trainees who had not yet debuted, were invited to Tokyo to participate in commemorative events for their children’s debut. Although the expense of this money made other shareholders heartbroken, they were still persuaded by Lin Junxiu

For the parents of these children, whether their children make a debut or become popular is not the most important thing. What they care most about is whether their children are doing well in the company.

In order to completely appease the hearts of these parents, Vernalossom Production Co., Ltd. opened the company headquarters, arts academy and theater so that parents can understand how their children are trained and how they will work in the future. Although idols are already considered a profession in Japan

, but compared to other employment directions, idolization is, after all, a career choice with an uncertain future. The reason why parents are confident in entrusting their girls to Vernalossom Production Company is actually more because of Yasushi Akimoto and Junxiu Lin. In

In their simple concept, Qiu Yuanyasu and Lin Junxiu are both very powerful people in the entertainment industry, so their children should have more opportunities in their hands, right?

In order to let the members feel the care of their parents and to promote the connection between parents, dinner gatherings are naturally inevitable. Although it is impossible to go to that kind of high-end restaurant together, it is still possible to book a barbecue restaurant.

On the last day before their debut, after the members sent off their parents, they were taken to Disneyland by Junsu Lin. Although young people in Japan prefer Universal Studios in Osaka, the Disney Castle is still very lethal to girls.

Enough. Lin Junxiu knew that they would be very busy starting from tomorrow, and under the pressure of the entertainment industry, they would no longer be able to have such wild fun, so Lin Junxiu specifically ordered the staff not to interfere with these children. Even if they eat

No matter how many high-calorie sweets there are, Lin Junxiu will let them go. After all, there is not much time for them to indulge. Before going on stage to perform, let them have another day of happiness.

While AKB48 and the staff were relaxing in Disneyland, Junxiu Lin and Yasushi Akimoto were squatting in the company and continuing to confirm the final performance preparations. In fact, compared to everyone's optimism, the two of them were the most pessimistic group of people.

"There is no problem with media performances. Most of the media will still come here for your sake, but how much exposure can be gained is a problem." Akimoto Yasu said worriedly, "There is also the ticket sales of ordinary performances.

do you know?"

"I know, we have only sold 3 tickets on the first day." Lin Junxiu felt dumbfounded when he saw this pre-sale data.

In fact, the performance market in Tokyo is quite prosperous. Take Sony's ZEPP Live House as an example. Their hall can accommodate about 2,000 people, which is almost twice the size of the AKB48 theater. However, the ticket for ZEPP Tokyo is 5,000 yuan.

One ticket will cost an additional 500 yuan to 1,000 yuan on weekends; if it is a designated seat on the weekend, the ticket price can reach 10,000 yen.

Vernalossom Productions currently prices AKB48 theater tickets at 500 yen; designated seats are 1,000 yen; even the most expensive ticket that includes a limited edition support set is only 5,000 yen, which can be said to be a really reasonable price! And according to Vernalossom

According to the estimation of the production company, the entire AKB48 theater is currently operating at a loss even if the venue is full. Fortunately, the venue fee is not included, otherwise AKB48 in this dimension would have to close down after supporting it for more than a year at most. Akimoto Yasuko felt bitter, but Yasuko didn't say it!

"Don't even think about recovering the cost of tickets. We agreed at the time that there would be no increase in tickets for the next five years," said Yasushi Akimoto.

"Don't worry, I won't be so short-sighted." Lin Junxiu didn't expect the AKB48 Theater tickets to make money. He was satisfied as long as he could cover the utility bills. After all, even when AKB48 was at its most popular, AKB48 Theater was not as popular as other theaters.

Popularity is the source of popularity for popular members. So the threshold should be as low as possible, but the coffee shop and peripheral shops next to it...

"It's better not to tell the children about the ticket pre-sale situation, so as not to worry them." Akimoto Yasu reminded.
