Even as Burning Produalossom was negotiating, AKB48 did not relax its promotional activities for the debut single "Sakura Petals". After the sales of 70,000 copies in the first week were revealed and it ranked second on the Ori Oricon Chart, major music companies in Tokyo

The media's interest in AKB48 has also increased. Although the four major national-level private broadcasters such as Fuji, TBS, Asahi and Japan will not invite AKB48 for the time being, it is obvious that they are already on the lists of these producers.

Although there are no invitations from NHK and the four major private broadcasters, local TV stations in Tokyo, such as TV TOKYO, Tokyo Metropolitan TV, and Kanagawa TV, Saitama TV and Chiba TV in surrounding cities, have sent program invitations, but most of them are late-night programs.

Or daytime programs, there are only a few prime time programs.

Regarding the conservativeness of the TV station, Lin Junxiu can only sigh. After all, AKB48 is not the phenomenon-level super girl idol group of later generations, and Vernalossom Club is not a first-line management company like Johnny & Associates, otherwise the TV station will take it.

We have provided top resources to entertain you. In addition to TV stations, there are also many invitations from radio stations.

Since Japan's urbanization level is relatively high, radio stations are thriving in major metropolitan areas; while those non-metropolitan radio stations obtain advertising resources and program resources from metropolitan area radio stations through affiliate networks.

With the support of the local government, you can survive with peace of mind. The Japanese government insists that in addition to NHK, all prefectures and counties in Japan must have at least one AM broadcasting station and one FM broadcasting station in each place. Therefore, Japan's

There are still a lot of radio stations.

Of course, it is impossible for most artists to do programs on one radio station. Except for a few radio stations in major metropolitan areas, artists generally participate in network programs. Although Japan has seven large and small network networks

, for example, there are the Japan Broadcasting Network (JRN) with TBS Radio as its core and the National Broadcasting Network (NRN) with Cultural Broadcasting and Nippon Broadcasting as its core; at the same time, there are also organizations such as the Local Private Broadcasting Co-Production Association that sell syndicated programs, regardless of

No one can be offended by AKB48 now. Fortunately, AKB48 has a relatively large number of members now, so a group of three or five people can visit all radio and television stations.

Although such high-frequency publicity is very tiring, the effect is still very obvious. When April comes, Ori and the Japan Recording Association announced the latest sales certification. "Sakura Petals" was obtained by Ori

It was certified platinum in sales, but it was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.

For this multiple gap, we can only blame Ori for not including sales from convenience stores such as 7-11, FamilyMart, and Lawson. In addition, online sales channels such as Amazon and Vernalossom Shop have not been included.

Ori is included in the statistics. However, as an alternative girl idol group that is not expected by many people, it is very surprising that AKB48's debut single can win Ori's platinum sales certification. And Lin Junxiu and Akimoto Yasushi are naturally

They would not let go of this hype opportunity. The two of them relied on relationships and money, and finally asked Ori Company and the Japan Recording Association to send staff to the eighth floor of the Akihabara Don Quijote store to give AKB48 a concert in the AKB48 theater.

Issue record sales certification.

Of course, not only did the media come to witness the event, but some core fans were also arranged to participate in the event, which was a kind of feedback to these early fans.

For AKB48 fans, today’s celebration is naturally very joyful. Their favorite idol group actually won platinum sales certification for their debut single, which means they will have their next single;

And until the sales of the next single drop, they can enjoy the company's highest treatment. There are countless underground idol groups in Tokyo, and they or they have the slightest chance of making a mainstream debut in this familiar yet unfamiliar city.

Work hard.

However, their efforts are not respected by others. On the contrary, many people think that their choice is wrong and stupid. In the eyes of ordinary people, since you want to work hard, why not work hard on the path that everyone has chosen?

Therefore, for idol chefs, they know very well that their favorite idols only have their support on this thorny road. And this is the bond between idols and fans!

After the certification, Yasushi Akimoto came on stage and announced something, that is, Shinoda Mariko will join the main roster of AKB48 as a special candidate. This news has not been announced to the public, so other members and fans are surprised. Akimoto

Kang's explanation for this is that Shinoda Mariko participated in the audition for AKB48, but due to the negligence of the staff, she failed to receive the notice of qualification for the main selection. Many days later, Shinoda Mariko asked the operation again and found out about this scam.

dragon incident.

Under the strong will of Shinoda Mariko, Akimoto Yasushi promised that as long as she could memorize all 12 songs and dance moves currently performed by AKB48 within four days, she could be arranged to enter the AKB48 main team. And Mariko naturally

Yasushi Akimoto completed the challenge, so Yasushi Akimoto also fulfilled his promise. This story is one of the inspirational stories of AKB48, but Lin Junxiu, who now knows the inside story, just curled his lips about it. When Mariko Shinoda came on stage, there was actually

Many fans recognized her.

It has to be said that Shinoda Mariko's ability to persist in working in the AKB48 cafe is a skill. And relying on this part-time working experience, she actually created a strong sense of presence among AKB48 fans. Now that she has been recognized by the fans,

Then even if there were some small opinions within the operator, they would disappear. As for the opinions of other team members, no one cared about it at this time.

After Mariko Shinoda joined AKB48, the new AKB48 performed "Sakura Petals" for fans and reporters at the certification ceremony. Although the formation change was still a bit unfamiliar, Mariko Shinoda did not integrate into the original AKB48 during the performance.

What a big problem. Naturally, this new performance footage will be posted on the official website after it is recorded. After all, AKB48 in this dimension is much more reliable in terms of network operation than in the previous dimension.

On AKB48's official fan site, not only do staff members carefully answer fans' questions about members, but there is also a special section that allows members to have close contact with fans online. However, the members who come to this section to answer questions every day

It is randomly selected, so it has become a place where many fans come to test their luck. If it happens to be the idol you recommend today, then you will be really lucky and it is worth going out to buy a Lotto ticket.

After the celebration, Yasushi Akimoto and Junsu Lin sent the reporters away, while the fans naturally left it to AKB48. Whether it was AKB48 members or managers, fans or reporters, everyone was very happy today. AKB48

With the single "Sakura Petals", he has not only gained a firm foothold in the war-torn idol world, but has also reached a good height. The next step is to see if the management will get his head caught in the door.

And Lin Junxiu has repeatedly told Akimoto Yasushi not to make a small yellow single for AKB48 on a whim. After all, Akimoto Yasushi has a weird record of producing the single "Sailor Suit". In fact, Lin Junxiu also understood that Akimoto Yasushi had given AKB48 a single in his previous life.

The idea of ​​​​making a small yellow single, after all, AKB48 had not become popular at that time, and even Akimoto Yasushi did not know what kind of path AKB48 was going to take, so AKB48 tried various types of singles, hoping to be blind.

It's a waste. But in this life, AKB48's style has been established. If there is another little yellow list, it will be equivalent to destroying AKB48's character.

"Don't worry, now that we already know what AKB48's style needs to be to make people like it, I won't mess with things that are there or not." As a senior idol operator, Yasushi Akimoto certainly knows the style of an idol group.

How important.

"By the way, Mr. Akimoto, I plan to form a more special group in the future." Lin Junxiu decided to talk about SDN48's project with Akimoto Yasushi first.

"Didn't we say before that we would form a sister group of AKB48 based on geographical characteristics? So is it possible for us to create another type of sister group based on age? You see, in addition to the debut group of Johnny & Associates,

They also have the Little Johnny Group. The income that Little Johnny brings to the firm every year is not low, and this is without CD income.

Therefore, I am thinking, if the members of AKB48 reach the age and need to change their styles, how should we arrange these members? Simply letting them graduate is not necessarily the best choice. What if some members do not develop better after graduation?

What should I do if I go to the sea? Of course, it is one thing if some members really don’t love themselves, but can we give these girls one more chance within our system?

So, what do you think about us setting up a ‘sister group’ for sister groups such as AKB48? Compared to AKB48’s videos of girl idols, our future sister group can take a mature route.”

"The idea is good, but will a sister group with a completely different style from AKB48 make our entire series feel confused?" Yasushi Akimoto was hesitant at this time.

Seeing Akimoto Yasushi's expression, Lin Junxiu didn't know how he came up with the SDN48 project in that dimension. Could it be that AKB48 was almost unable to survive at that time, so he thought of becoming SDN48 as a retreat? But Akimoto Yasushi didn't either

He rejected Lin Junxiu's proposal and started to think about it.

"I think it's better not to debut as a sister group, but as another girl group from the same club. The transfer between two groups can only be to the sister group, and the sister group cannot move back to the original group.

This is a difference. And when promoting, it’s best not to emphasize the close relationship between the two groups. It’s best to treat them like two different planning groups under the same company.”

After Lin Junxiu thought about it, he nodded and agreed to Akimoto Yasushi's suggestion. It is really not a good thing to associate a group that has always been too mature and sexy with a girl group like AKB48. Anyway, in the future, AKB48 will also have a formal rival Sakamichi group, so that's a big deal

Just create another planning portfolio.

"Then Mr. Akimoto, I'll leave it to you for the second single and the second selection."

"Have you become a hands-off shopkeeper again?" Akimoto Yasushi said with a wry smile. "I have an idea for the second single, and I plan to release it as a summer single. However, the second round of selection is for the second single.

Before or after the second single?”

"After the single is released, let everyone take a look at the sales of the second single to make sure that our AKB48 is not a flash in the pan." Lin Junxiu said, "Also, Mr. Akimoto, do you still remember the team we mentioned earlier?

Any suggestions? If a small team is to be established, should TEAM A, TEAM K and TEAM B, as well as possible TEAM 4 and TEAM 8 in the future, be distinguished by the style of the members, or by the time when everyone joined the team? At the same time, what are the characteristics of the small team?

Is there a need for free movement of members?”

"This is a very important issue. I think we should just do it in the operations meeting." Qiu Yuanyasu felt that this matter was not that easy, so he said. "Jun Lin, I think you seem to have your own ideas, why don't you put it forward?

Shall I think about it?"
