The current AKB48 is much redder than the parallel plane. Although it cannot compete with the male idols of Johnnys, it is already considered a quasi-first-line girl group in the female idol circle. Since the popularity has already become popular, we have to deliberately create a sense of strangeness.

After all, Japanese idol culture originates from Japanese Kabuki culture. Why does Kabuki look good? It is to create a sense of alienation, so that the guests who come to support have a feeling of "visiting from afar but not playing", and then willingly take out a lot of money just to have a love for the beauty. Although AKB48 does not follow the traditional idol's "people on the cloud", there is still a so-called "dimensional wall" between idols and fans.

Now there are too many related news about AKB48, so Lin Junsoo and Akimoto Yasu began to suppress the related news about AKB48. Even Akimoto Yasu did not invite the media to select the final selection of the second-year student, but just arranged for the film and television production department of Vernalossom to shoot a documentary. At the same time, in order to ensure the gimmick of the list, the final list of the second-year student will be released on the performance stage.

"The children of AKB48 have been so popular recently!" Akimoto Katsura rubbed his hands excitedly.

Although for Akimoto Yasushi, he had never played any type of idol, and he even operated a young idol. However, this new type of idol that subverted the cultural foundation of Japanese idols was his first attempt, and what he never expected was that his project was a great success. You must know that no one was optimistic about this project at the beginning, otherwise he would not have to go to his friends to seek sponsorship. In the end, what he did not expect was that the person who supported him the most was actually the boy in front of him.

"By the way, their beach photo has been completed. The photo album has two versions: the regular version and the limited version. The limited version will randomly give away the members' photo and a theater performance redemption voucher. What do you think?"

Lin Junxiu didn't know what to say about Akimoto Yasushi's business law. This limited version hits the Japanese shopping pain points, and at the same time, it also randomly comes with undisclosed photos. This is a force for fans to buy the limited edition! As for how many limited editions are limited? That's not the Vernalossom company has the final say. Even if you really print too many limited editions, it's a pity that Vernalossom can still produce Tokyo limited editions, Kyoto limited editions, Osaka limited editions, etc.! There's nothing to be embarrassed about!

"There were many special publications on the weekend's performance stage," Lin Junxiu said with a smile. "The website should have posted the relevant trailers, right? Although there is no need to worry about ticket sales now, it is also good to stimulate more audiences to come here to spend."

"It's a pity that we can't broadcast our theater performances directly on the Internet." Akimoto Yasushi said with some regret. "If our website can broadcast programs like TV stations, I think our ratings should be quite good."

Akimoto Yasu's words made Lin Junxiu have some ideas. If you directly do online TV stations, you will probably cause trouble for your own people and other TV stations. But if you only serve AKB48 and the future idols of 48 series, 46 series and K series, then the TV station has nothing to say. It's impossible that your TV station will not broadcast our AKB48 content. Is it a problem if we find a website to broadcast it yourself?

However, although the idea of ​​an online TV station is good, if it wants to support a live streaming network TV station, there will be a lot of content required. It is impossible to rely solely on an incomplete AKB48, but if it is made into a network VOD (video on demand), it is still possible. Most of the performances of AKB48 are recorded, and can be put on the Internet for on demand after a little editing. However, the Internet speed is still relatively ordinary now, and the wired Internet speed can support 480P standard definition videos, but mobile devices such as mobile phones cannot support video playback for the time being.

Before the rise of mobile Internet, online TV was not very meaningful. Because online TV was to occupy the time when users could not watch TV, such as when they went to and from get off work or were in the toilet; if users were already in the office or home, they had some solutions to watch TV, so why choose online TV stations that were not as good as traditional TV stations?

Thinking of this, Lin Junxiu could only press her inner restlessness. She definitely had no problem with her technical reserves, and she had already planned to launch a Niico video website that was slightly different from the parallel plane by the end of the year.

"Akimoto-san will temporarily make the operator offline more realistic. After all, AKB48 is not a truly complete team now. Although we pay attention to the status of the raw stone, if we want to promote it to everyone, then our uncensored jade still has to be thought about." Lin Junxiu said with a smile, "And now relying on the members' life selfies and personal diaries, our online site still has a high registration and activity. If a limited single is released in the future, we may be able to conduct voting and elections on the Internet. Just like our offline voting, the singles voted online are only released in the form of voting."

The Japanese subtitle singles are not exactly the same as our later digital singles. Our digital singles often refer to the right to use this single on a certain music platform. When you purchase a paid user of this website or purchase this single, you can listen to the song on this website, but what if you change to a digital platform? However, after you purchase the Japanese subtitle single, you can download it and listen to it. No matter what software you use, it is fine, as long as you don’t upload or share it again.

There are three main forms of Japanese letter singles: 玆うた, 玆たさル and PC letter singles; the first two forms are mainly on mobile phones. 玆たた is probably similar to my country's paid mobile phone ringtones, that is, clips of singles are intercepted and paid to download; while 玆たたさル and PC letter singles are downloaded in full to mobile phones or computers. The Japanese Records Association will probably start counting the circulation volume of these three types from next year, and you can imagine how much profit these three types of sales channels are.

However, as time went by, Yu うた officially bid farewell to statistics in the third quarter of 2013 because few people download songs like this. In 2014, the Japanese Records Association combined the two channels of mobile phone download and computer download to count.

Songs with the highest mobile download channels include Aoyama Dema's "Stay by Me", GReeeeN's "Miracle" and AI's "Story". If you include the computer download data, the paid download volume of these three singles is more than 3 million, of which "Miracle" has exceeded 4 million. However, the singles of AKB48 and the entire 4846 Group have sold very poorly in the paid download channel. Before the statistics of the mobile download and computer download, AKB48 only "Infinite Replay" exceeded one million sales; after the statistics of the merger, only "Lucky Love Cookies" exceeded one million sales. As for other sister groups, none of them broke the record of one million.

"Is it a letter to a single? These are things that can be considered." Akimoto Yasuhiko said hesitantly.

Since the entire lyrics and song creation and song production of the 48 Group are produced under Akimoto Yasuke and related companies, physical records can bring the greatest benefits to related companies. This is why Akimoto Yasuke's business laws are aimed at selling records, because this is his greatest benefit. If it is changed to a single with a letter, his income will be reduced a lot.

"It's okay occasionally, but the Japanese record market still looks at physical records. The singles that are written by the general singers are the singles or B-side songs in the album, and they are still promoted physical records in disguise."

Lin Junxiu sighed in her heart, but he really had no evidence to prove his point of view. Even in the European and American record markets, physical records have been beaten by digital records, and in the end, Aidai's to support the scene, the Japanese record market is still living well due to Japan's strict and conservative record copyright protection system, and the supporting record is really marginalized.

Although the subtitle record can produce 5 to 6 million singles every year, because the actual revenue is not as good as that of physical records, most record companies will not take the initiative to attack this. Lin Junxiu also knows that if AKB48 fans diverted to buy subtitle, Akimoto Katsu would definitely object. Thinking of this, Lin Junxiu silently killed her own creativity in her heart.

During the weekend theater performance, Takahashi Nan and others already knew that Team K would be officially released. And they had already met before they went on stage. Looking at Team K members, Takahashi Nan was a little scared. Not only were these new members better than their first-class students in average quality, but also compared with the messy style of the first-class students, Team K members vaguely carried a label called "Yuanqi". The young girl has always been a favored element in Japanese octopus culture, so Takahashi Nan was a little worried about these juniors in his heart.

"Today, you will know that there will be a special publication when you see me coming up." Akimoto Yasuhiro was joking on the stage at this time, "Of course, although you have seen the trailer on the website, I don't think anyone knows what it is, right? First of all, let's publish the most important thing today, that is, the selection of AKB48 second-phase students has been completed. All qualified members will be included in Team K, and they will have their own performances in the future. Now, let me read out the members of Team K and please give them warm applause."

In order to distinguish it from Team A's style, Akimoto Yasuhiro found Kanei Shinin to design the current school uniform for Team K. Team A's theme color inherits the logo color of AKB48 - pink; while Team K uses green that symbolizes vitality. The school uniform designed by Kanei Shinin is in a relatively simple style, not as fancy as Team A; even Akimoto added, Miyazawa Sae and several other members' bottoms are still pants, which looks more neutral.

Fans naturally saw the difference between Team K. After all, Team A has experienced the era of underground idols, so the style inevitably has the "cute" flavor of underground idols; while Team K is more mainstream than Team K, and the main style is vitality. Fortunately, Team K is also a member of AKB48, so fans quickly accepted them.

For fans, the more styles the group, the better, so that everyone can find the right girl and chat happily together. After all, Japanese people attach too much importance to personal privacy. Apart from baseball and complaining about the prime minister, the common topics of Japanese people are almost gone. In a sense, AKB48 is a tragedy that saves Japanese people from not finding topics when they are chatting awkwardly.

"After the announcement of Team K members, we have another good news to announce, that is, the AKB48 photo album has been completed!" In Akimoto Yasushi's voice, the big screen behind the photo album broadcasted.

Compared with the original version, this version is relatively conservative. Moreover, the planning theme of the photo album is "Summer Beach Holiday for High School Girls", so there is only a little bit of sexy. Not enough, this is enough for idol otakus. After all, if you really want to see that kind of photo album, there are special models and adult models, there is no need to force your little idol to take photos.

After Akimoto Yasushi said that the limited edition will be given away undisclosed photos of random members, fans' enthusiasm has increased even more. In Japan, photo albums will never worry about sales, it depends on how much you can sell.

"Finally, Team A's second performance, codenamed 'A2', is under preparation and is expected to officially debut on Christmas!" Akimoto Yasushi made his last message amid the noise.

Nowadays, Akimoto Yasu is still very hardworking and is dedicated to the performances of each group. When the 48th Series really has hundreds of people, Akimoto Yasumoto has no intention of performing performances. Not only is the number of performances in each group decreasing, but the quality of the performances is also hard to describe.
Chapter completed!
