I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"That's right, with total sales of 235.9 million, it has reached the 12th place!" Sakagami Minami immediately said, "This is the first time our SKR song has broken into the top 20, and it has reached the 12th place in one go!"

"Quick, let me see!" Miyamoto immediately reached out, took Sakagami Minami's phone, and looked at the list on the screen.

20th place: Utada Hikaru's "Automatic", with sales of 206.2 million!

19th place: Yoko Ima's "The Season of Love", with sales of 207.7 million copies!

Miyamoto continued reading and found that Namie Amuro's "Can you celebrate" was ranked 15th, with sales of 229.6 million copies, which is also a terrifying achievement.

The list also includes Masaharu Fukuyama and others, all of whom are very talented. Miyamoto Sei's single, with the main vocalist, ranked 12th with a total sales volume of 235.9 million.

As for the 11th place, it is Chage and Aska's "YAH YAH YAH", with a total sales of 241.8 million. It will be a bit difficult to surpass it.

To be in the top ten, you need at least 248.8 million in total sales.

Kazumasa Oda's "Oh! Yeah," the theme song for "Tokyo Love Story," ranked 9th with total sales of 258.7 million copies.

If you want to get first place, then you need to beat the song "Swim! Taiyaki-kun" sung by Shimon Masato, which achieved an astonishing total sales of 457.7 million.

As for other famous songs by this person, he sang the theme song for the first Kamen Rider series.

Looking at the list, Miyamoto took a deep breath.

He suddenly realized that besides being number one on the all-time CD sales chart in Japan, this single sales chart was also a very good target for him to challenge!

The people nearby suddenly became excited when they saw Miyamoto Sei. They looked at each other and Sakagami Minami asked in a low voice, "Nana-chan, what's wrong with you?"

"Minami-senpai, I think I've found a new goal!" Miyamoto Sei's eyes lit up: "Sure enough, when we become the number one seller of CDs in Japan, let's also take the number one spot for the number one seller of singles in Japan!"

The group of people around them couldn't help but laugh when they saw the light in Miyamoto Sei's eyes. They could all see that this immovable C was not joking at all, and was obviously thinking about it seriously.

So, Minami Sakagami raised her hand: "Alright, then let's also include number one in total single sales in Japan in our SKR goals!"

Miyu Nagasu also let go of Miyamoto Sei's hand and detached herself from him. She smiled and said, "We can definitely achieve this goal, Nana-chan!"

"Yes, we can definitely do it!" Miyamoto Seya nodded in agreement; this goal was definitely one that had to be achieved!

At this point, he suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I think that achieving the goal of entering the top ten might be possible in the next few days."

Everyone looked at him, and Sakagami Minami asked frantically, "No way? We can reach the top ten in just a few days? That means sales will increase by another 13 in the next few days?!"

Miyamoto shook his head: "This is a bit difficult."

"That……"

“I think Nana-chan is talking about ‘Lucky Evening Chocolate’, right?” Rina Asuka suddenly said.

Miyamoto nodded slightly: "I'm talking about 'Lucky Evening Chocolate'."

Sakagami Minami, being a manager, immediately recognized the name upon hearing it.

This song is a collaboration between Miyamoto Sei and Nagasu Miyu, and it was released after "Love and War" as SKR's 33rd single.

“Yes, the first day and first week sales of ‘Lucky Evening Chocolate’ were better than ‘Love and War’. I remember the first week sales were 178.4 million. Let me check, what are the total sales now?” Minami Sakagami said, and immediately started checking.

At this moment, Miyu Nagasu said, "It's 193.8 million."

Miyamoto looked at Nagaan Miyu with some surprise, not expecting her to answer so quickly. Nagaan Miyu smiled shyly and said, "Because Nana-chan said that if we could reach two million, we could try to break into the rankings we just saw, so I've been checking for a while now."

“It seems this wish can come true.” Miyamoto smiled: “The changes in the rankings will probably happen in the next few days. In the next few days, or at the latest within a week, the sales of ‘Lucky Evening Chocolate’ will change dramatically again.”

Miyamoto even quickly estimated that the total sales of "Lucky Evening Chocolate" should reach around 250 million.

That's about right to meet the requirement of tenth place. As for ninth place, that's a bit difficult, and I don't think I'll be able to achieve it.

However, this will drop "Love and War" to thirteenth place in the rankings. But being pushed down by its own song is not a bad thing; in fact, it's a good thing.

That was Miyamoto Sei's original thought, but things changed after only three days.

The total sales of "Lucky Evening Chocolate" have reached 259.7 million, successfully climbing to ninth place!

This matter was also brought up and reported by the media.

We must acknowledge one thing: as SKR's former and current idols began acting in dramas, it brought SKR even more viewership, attracting those who weren't originally interested in idols.

[SKR's single sales surged after the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle). The 64th Kohaku Uta Gassen attracted even more people to SKR, prompting the question: given SKR's already considerable success, why is it still attracting so many newcomers? According to marketing principles, shouldn't they have already converted all potential customers, leaving only those who aren't interested?]

SKR's single "Love and War," which had just reached number 12 in total sales in Japan with 235.9 million copies sold, was quickly overtaken by their own group's "Lucky Evening Chocolate," which sold 259.7 million copies, moving down to number 13. "Lucky Evening Chocolate" then surpassed Kazumasa Oda's "Oh! Yeah," which sold 258.7 million copies, to take number 9!

In Japan, you might not know who the Prime Minister is, but you absolutely cannot not know who SKR is! Especially, you absolutely cannot not know who Nana Miyamoto is!

Whether SKR can reach the world's number one level remains to be seen, but it's certain that they are steadily progressing towards becoming number one in Japan. It's predictable that if their upcoming singles can reach this level, they will soon become the number one group in total CD sales in Japan. As for the number one single, Masato Komon's "Swim! Taiyaki-kun" remains an insurmountable obstacle.

These contents were so eye-catching, but Miyamoto Sei, the protagonist of these news stories, had absolutely no interest in reading them.

Because he is currently busy with other things.

In front of Miyamoto Sei were ten thousand photos, all of which were portraits of him, and he was signing each one.

Everything was handwritten, with no printing whatsoever!

You need to do this kind of thing before you become famous, and you need to do it even more after you become famous.

Moreover, after becoming famous, even more people wanted to buy it. If it weren't for SKR limiting the number, the number of autographs would have been much higher, perhaps even several times or dozens of times higher!

Miyamoto Sei remembered very clearly that she currently had nearly seven thousand die-hard fans as shown by the system. If you include ordinary fans, the number would probably be over one hundred thousand, or even several hundred thousand.

She skillfully wrote down the name "Miyamoto Nana," even adding a special border to the last character. Miyamoto then put the photo aside and slumped onto the table.

He had only been lying down for two seconds when Subaru Hasegawa came in and shouted when he saw him like this.

"Don't think you can act like a big shot just because you're famous. These things are for your fans! Hurry up!"

Miyamoto rolled her eyes and raised her hand: "I'd like to request a coffee!"

"Now, let's have coffee. Are we going back to sleep or not?" Subaru Hasegawa said, then looked at the others: "What would you like?"

So everyone happily raised their hands.

"Cola!"

"milk tea!"

"Oolong tea would be fine for me!"

That's how it is for idols; even after they become famous, some things still won't change.

For example, you have to clean the dance studio yourself, personally sign autographs for fans, and smile at those people.

This also includes daily training.

Miyamoto smiled, picked up a new photo, and signed it again.

Chapter 73 Game Planning

A meeting is currently underway in the room where the three teams of SKR have gathered.

The reason why three teams were called together for this meeting is naturally because this meeting is very important and relates to everyone's income.

"That's right, this is our game project this time, called 'Heartbeat Guide: Fall in Love with the SKR Girl!'" Sakagami Minami said, projecting the project content onto the projection screen.

"Wow, love is amazing!"

"Is this similar to the old game 'If You Fall in Love with SKR 1/48'? Although it sold quite well, I heard that it was terrible in terms of gameplay."

"Ah, that 'If You Fall in Love with SKR1/48'? I've played it. To be honest, from a gameplay perspective, it's terrible. It's purely a game for fans!"

A group of people immediately started discussing it animatedly, except for one person: Miyamoto Sei.

He stared blankly at the plan, his mind filled with questions.

What is this? Is it a project to voice game characters?

"Nana-chan, have you ever played the game 'If You Fall in Love with SKR1/48'?" Miyu asked softly.

Miyamoto shook his head and said in a low voice, "No."

"It's one of those dating games with real photos of people, it was on the PSP, and it sold over 40 copies!" Miyu Nagasu said in a low voice.

Miyamoto thought carefully for a moment, then suddenly remembered the game. "Ah! Is it the game that was released in December 2016?!"

“Yes, it’s the game that was released in December 2016. That year, Nana-chan had only been a graduate student for a short time,” Rina Asuka said, recalling that time and laughing, “Voice acting for games is quite fun, even though the character in the game is actually myself… But how should I put it? It’s like a clone, since I would definitely not date while I’m an idol.”

"What kind of game is it?" Miyamoto asked immediately, curious. "Do players follow SKR's idol and then pursue the target?"

"No, the premise is wrong." Rina Asuka shook her head.

“Yes, that’s not the story at all!” Shiigishin Minami immediately shook her head and explained, “It’s about how 48 official members of SKR have fallen in love with the game’s protagonist and confessed to him. The player’s job is to choose the one they like the most and reject the remaining 47 people.”

Miyamoto was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Could this be Amagai-P's idea?"

"That's Tempeh P's idea."

"That's right, it was Tempeh P's idea!"

Seeing the group of people nod immediately, Miyamoto Sei barely suppressed the urge to facepalm. As expected of Amagai Risa, she actually came up with this kind of idea.

Choose one true love and reject everyone else—this game is totally made for die-hard fans of a single love!

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Let's continue talking about the game 'Heartbeat Guide: Fall in Love with the SKR Girl!'" Sakagami Minami called out from the front.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Sakagami Minami continued, "This time, the plan is to publish it on PS Vita. Because there are 48 people involved, and each person has their own independent storyline, the game will be quite large. I asked around, and according to the editors, each person's storyline is about 30,000 to 40,000 words."

Miyamoto listened to Sakagami Minami's words, flipped through the proposal, and found that each person's lines were about 10,000 words long. In this light, it was as if a short romance novel plot had been prepared for each person.

"This game is very important, and it's also part of the SKR merchandise, so everyone has to do their best! This isn't just a game for fans, but also for ordinary gamers!" Sakagami Minami changed the content on the projection again and continued, "So this time the content has been greatly expanded, and it's completely different from the last game!"
