It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Shibuya's office was still brightly lit.

After get off work time, Ye Zhaohe's staff were still waiting in the office, waiting for an important fax overnight.

I can't wait for the next morning, and everyone present wanted to know the sales of this week as soon as possible.

When it comes to success or failure of ranking, the fact that the winner is Ye Zhao has long been determined. Therefore, what makes them wait all night is not the title of Zhou champion, but something more important.

That is, the final calculation of the first week of this single.

Everyone, including Ye Zhao, is not about winning the Zhou championship and winning the showdown with globe, but about this single... Has it broken the record?

When he was not ready, as the single sales soared due to the excitement of the showdown and various other reasons, he also unknowingly had a new "opponent".

That is the record of the first move of a million.

Nowadays, the record of the first single is held in the hands of Mr. Child, with more than 1.2 million results. There is only one group in history. Even if a group of singers hold their necks, they can't break the first move, let alone more than 1.2 million.

When the dream comes true, it can't be done when it is the most popular, and when it is the most popular, it can't be done when it is the most popular. B'z can't be done, and Chuck and Asuka can't be done. Later, the glay that surges out, Kinki boy... no one can do it.

The first move of millions was a somewhat fantastic record until AKB appeared.

When AKB kept breaking the first million record and turning this record into a one-person list exclusive to the 48 Series, it was already a long time later.

The reason why this originally dreamy record was so smooth is that in the era of shrinking physical markets, one of the most important reasons is that they sell not only the CD itself, but also the handshake coupons attached there.

But then again, it doesn’t make sense to deny them in such matters by shaking hands based on their ability. If luck is part of their strength, then the successful commercial law among them is a kind of ability.

Since the oricon chart recognizes their sales and records, and the Recording Association also sends them the certification of millions of singles over and over again, they have their own value.

As the market environment shrinks, many rules are changing, and it cannot be said that there are no compromises made by all parties in the music industry in this result.

However, since the music market was established, the rules have been changing, and there will be certain compromises in a period of time.

To take a step back, even if the buyer is the Azhai who is carrying boxes, these sales are all "bubble". Before that, Azhai's money was also earned with hard work, just like those who buy records from other singers.

Even if it is a bubble, it is a bubble blown up by all over Japan.

Going back to the "support" incident, apart from commercial law, the satisfaction of watching ordinary girls reach the peak step by step is also a powerful tool to attract fans.

Entering the new millennium, the times are developing rapidly. Before they come back to their senses, as an ordinary person, they may have been abandoned under the wheels and ruthlessly crushed by reality.

Life and society are full of various unstable things, and because of this, idols have the meaning of existence.

Watch your idol grow with your own eyes and help your idol realize your dreams - even if it is manipulated, the capital behind it is still the capital behind it, but the satisfaction generated in this process is enough to soothe people's hearts.

It is impossible if the idol itself has no attractive features and can sell records with just a hand, it is impossible.

However, it is still a long time for AKB to play with the first move million record. Now, the topic of this showdown sends Ye Zhao out of the difficult line to cross, which is the incomparable line, and is impacting the child's record.

Time passes slowly, and finally-

"Oh... it's here!"

With this sentence, everyone who was already a little bored was cheered up.

“The sales of the new single in the first week are…”

Speaking of the most important thing, everyone present straightened their backs and waited for the number with bright eyes.

"One Hundred and Three Hundred and Three Sixty Thousands!"

"Oh--"

While this number was reported, a burst of cheers broke out in the conference room.

"The record is broken!"

"Success!"

Cheers like this sounded one after another in the conference room, and even Ye Zhao clenched his fists, applauding the newly reached record in his heart.

After entering the Heihong era, the record sales volume ushered in the golden age. Among the records of various sizes and sizes that are almost refreshed every year, the record of more than 1.2 million created by Mr. Child is the most unshakable.

No matter what kind of popular singer you are, you stand there steadily.

But now, this most difficult record, almost impossible task, was finally broken by Ye Zhao.

With his own words alone, it would be a bad to achieve this level. A considerable part of the credit for this successful breakthrough is due to the topics created by the duel with Tetsuya Komuro.

Two names that have been mentioned from time to time since 1996, and there were two masters who had indirectly confronted each other. There are definitely many people who want to know this answer.

And now, both sides finally decided to decide the outcome.

It is precisely because of this showdown that their supporters are focusing on buying this week, and with overwhelming publicity, in addition to his fans' support for his first single after his independence.

The small business method of sending out armbands for the first time by Ai Hui also made Ye Zhao's supporters more determined to be unable to lose.

Combining all aspects, of course, there is the most important point: his popularity is at its peak, and he did not get the result because of this series of events.

After being excited, Ye Zhao, who had cooled down slightly, finally had the time to look at Tetsuya Komuro's globe.

The second place on the weekly list is undoubtedly, and it has become a fact that he lost to him for a while on the sales list. Including the previous indirect duel, it can be said that he was always the winner between the confrontation with Tetsuya Komuro.

However, although Komuro Tetsuya lost in the duel, he is also a winner based on the results of this single.

The sales of this single in the first week was 1.07 million, which was the highest single in the first week since their combination, and even higher than the cumulative results of some singles.

With the results of these two singles released, the singer who has overcome the hurdle of one million is no longer the only one who has emerged. The potential of the record market is surprising again.

He gained a single that had just started to move millions and left a name on this record with extremely high value. Even though he lost to Ye Zhao in this duel, his grades and rankings were not a loss for him.

As I said, this is a perfect win-win situation.

Without the excitement of the showdown, Ye Zhao would not have broken through the record of Mr. Child, and Globe would not have achieved the first million. Their record companies also gained countless gold and topical results because of this showdown.

When Ye Zhao got the single sales order, Ai Hui must have received this result.

In addition, the media has also received sales lists from oricon.

On November 25, Ye Shogh and Komuro Tetsuya faced each other head-on, and the final winner was Ye Shogh. This single released after his independence broke the record previously maintained by Mr. Child and became the first-hand single in Japanese music history.

This news will be widely reported tomorrow.

Even if he is independent and even if he embarks on a new path, Ye Zhao will not be distracted. He is still the strongest and the strongest.

The next morning, "Komu retreated!" "The first move of the highest single in history was born!" "The miraculous strongest king!" Titles like this occupied the newspaper, and Morning News also reported it as a topic.

Not only that, in the next week, whenever information and conversation music programs were broadcast, this matter was mentioned in particular, extending the topic of this showdown.

Entering the second week, the two singles were still in harmony, but the situation of mutual pressure ended as early as the first week. For the next week, Ye Zhao firmly pressed Tetsuya Komuro and did not give him a chance to turn over.

Not only that, it seems to be confirming the small detail Ye Zhao discovered last week. During this week, globe's single stamina continued the "abnormal" of the first weekend.

Compared with the sales trend of the second week of the single released by globe, the performance of this single in the second week can be said to be a big loss in the second week.

Originally, it was expected that urging the public's desire to buy until the first week would bring such side effects.

But the abnormality is abnormal. Globe's second week this time was not only a "slope". This trend, based on their status in the world, can be said to be "retreat".

What can such a situation mean?

This released a hidden signal: globe's attractiveness to passers-by is weakening, and the first-time version of the commercial law gathers not only the public's desire to buy, but also most of their selling.

In contrast, Ye Zhao's single score in the second week, which is impossible to be even more terrifying than the first week. However, compared with the second week of the single released before, the overall trend is very stable.

Considering that the blood of the showdown has moved a considerable portion of the purchasing power to the first week, it can be said that he and globe are just the opposite: his attractiveness to passers-by is still increasing.

When Ye Zhao realized this, he was finally sure that the several duels between him and Tetsuya Komuro finally decided to win.

He is the one who won.

What he won was not the sales rankings, nor the sales of records.
