Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the flowerpot on the table, a little surprised.
For the song arrangement meeting to prepare for the Red and White Song Concert, at 10 a.m. on the 29th, the members of DREAM Color T and E and the musicians from the accompaniment team gathered at Sony's rehearsal room.
As soon as Iwahashi Shinto arrived, Miwa-chan excitedly pulled him over to see this "masterpiece".
In the small flowerpot, a few small green buds protruded from the loose soil. The leaves were still buried in the soil, and only the curved and thin stems were exposed. If I didn't say that these were sunflower buds, Shinichi Iwahashi would have guessed.
Can not guess.
Miwa-chan pulled up a chair and sat down, holding her chin with one hand, and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "As long as the temperature and humidity are right and the light is enough, you can grow them even in winter. Besides, sunflowers are not delicate and difficult to grow.
plant."
What she said was clear and logical, and Iwahashi Shinichi was a little impressed, "You know quite a lot."
"Of course." Miwa-chan immediately swells up and becomes proud when she is praised, "I know a lot of knowledge and skills about growing a home vegetable garden."
"Really?" Shinichi Iwahashi was curious, "Could it be that you have a vegetable garden in your hometown?"
"That's not true." Miwa-chan quickly replied, "When I was studying, I borrowed many books about planting from the library because I was interested." Her eyes fell on Iwahashi Shinichi's face, where the admiration was written just now.
It disappeared with her words.
"So that's it." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled.
Miwa-chan was a little unconvinced and argued to herself, "Even if it's just talk on paper... the sunflowers have sprouted well." She pointed at the flowerpot she brought, "This is the evidence."
Okay. If we really got into a fight over this, it would be ridiculous. Iwahashi Shinichi didn’t want to contribute a free cross talk to his teammates and partners on the eve of the rehearsal of the Red and White Song Festival. Besides, Xiaohua
In the pot, the sunflower seeds actually sprouted. Shin Iwahashi returned his attention to the pot of sunflowers.
After Christmas Eve, Shinichi Iwahashi called Miwa-chan and discussed with her what to do with the bucket of snow. He said he wanted to plant plants, and Miwa-chan immediately took care of everything, boasting that she was a gardening expert.
In view of the fact that she once boasted of being a "little expert in blackboard reporting" and "a little expert in fashion design", Shinichi Iwahashi didn't expect anything from her, but she didn't expect that this little expert in paper talking was really good at it.
Although there is a high probability that sunflower seeds germinate easily...but this is no longer a big deal.
What surprised Shinichi Iwahashi even more than this was Miwa-chan's speed of action. Judging from the seeds that were about to sprout, it was probably after Christmas Eve that they planted the seeds in the flower pot immediately after talking to him on the phone.
"I put down five seeds in total. I originally thought that if I were to plant sunflowers, I would have one for Shen Yijun, one for Zhengren, and one for myself. But if I only planted three seeds, and unfortunately one of them failed to germinate, it would be too much.
It's unlucky." Miwa-chan explained clearly.
The team flower of DREAM T-shirt and milk E is the sunflower. During the concert, sunflower elements are put into the merchandise, and fans attending the concert will also use sunflowers as bouquets of support.
From the perspective of one sunflower representing a person, it is a bit unlucky to plant three and two will survive.
"The other two pills are just for safety's sake?" Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help laughing.
Miwa-chan shook her head and said seriously, "To be precise, the fourth seed is just for safety. But if you plant four seeds, 'four' is inherently unlucky. So, I'll put in one more seed to offset it. I heard,
I heard that the singular number represents 'hope'."
"What about even numbers?" Shinichi Iwahashi was curious.
Miwa-chan's fallacies are one after another, "Since the seeds are planted in the odd number, just care about the meaning of the odd number." Such fallacies make people doubt that, together with the ones she just said, they are all hers.
I made it up myself.
At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi finally couldn't bear it anymore and laughed loudly, "That makes sense."
"I have thought about it seriously." Miwa-chan didn't care whether Iwahashi Shinichi's words of approval were sincere or a joke to her. As long as she felt it was a compliment, it wouldn't stop her from feeling complacent.
"Anyway," she returned the topic to Iwahashi Shinichi, "I'll leave it to you to take care of these things."
After Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, he realized that he had shouldered the heavy responsibility of feeding these sunflowers. Thinking of this, the expression that was full of smiles just now suddenly cooled down a lot.
He couldn't laugh anymore, and Miwa-chan, who had assigned the task, was very happy, stood up, pretended to be a pat on his shoulder, and left here like a gust of wind, running to talk to the band's accompaniment team.
Iwahashi Shinichi also stood up, and before leaving, he took a closer look at a few small green buds in the flower pot.
If I really want to say it, sunflowers, which are born towards the sun and are easy to cultivate, match well with the band DREAM-colored T-shirts. They also match Miwa-chan's always cheerful appearance.
Just plant the sunflowers, irrigate them with the bucket of snow water, and wait for them to grow up and bloom.
…
No matter how beautiful the snow scenery is when it snows, the snow will disappear without a trace. However, as winter turns to spring, summer turns to autumn, it snows every year, and the beautiful snow scenery can always be seen again.
Even if the bucket of snow was thrown away by Shinichi Iwahashi, it doesn't matter.
Despite this, Shinichi Iwahashi decided to use the bucket of snow water to water the sunflowers. When Miwa-chan sowed the seeds, imagining the huge flower plate of the sunflowers, she couldn't help but feel full of expectation in her heart.
When it comes to DREAM colored T-shirts, of course the one is sunflower.
When planting the sunflower seeds, Miwa-chan felt that the seeds were planted for the three people in the band. The snow that falls every year, the DREAM-colored T-shirts that stay together every year, and the promise to sing together until we die.
New Year's Eve has arrived.
This year's New Year's Eve, DREAM T-shirt E also had a rest. Although the band won the gold medal and best album award at the Record Awards, they did not plan to attend the awards in person this year. Instead, they would receive the awards from the record company.
Bian sent a representative to bring the prize back.
As far as DREAM is concerned, as long as you don't do anything like winning a grand prize but not showing up to receive it, then it doesn't matter if you don't go and get the other prizes in person.
In fact, if it weren't for the specialness of last year's Grand Prize, the band would not have wanted to attend last year. However, in the eyes of the public, the band and Misora Hibari had equal chances of winning the award. If the band did not show up, the award would be awarded to Misora
Skylark, it will definitely attract rumors later. Therefore, DREAM T-shirt and E must be present to support the "Queen".
Since the band debuted, among the important awards, only the Grand Record Award has yet to be won.
Last year's Heisei No. 1 million-selling single hit Misora Hibari's posthumous work "The Stream". And this year's "Let's Dance Together" has been so popular that it is destined that no one will get it except this single.
Don’t walk away from the big prize.
In this case, it is logical for the band to get rid of the burden of New Year's Eve and spend the last day of this year easily. Of course, this year the band will no longer receive the Record Awards award in person, which means that next
, unless they are going to receive the highest prize at the Record Awards, otherwise, they will not get involved in the awards again.
However, on New Year's Eve, DREAM's T-shirt and breasts did not attend the Grand Awards, but Shinichi Iwahashi was not spared the hardship of traveling between places. He had to continue traveling between the Budokan and the NHK Hall.
Even so, he went to the Budokan not to receive an award, but to present an award. As the winner of last year's Planning Award, he was invited to be this year's award guest and present the award to this year's best composer.
There was no reason why he should not do anything to improve his reputation and status in the industry, so Iwahashi Shinichi naturally agreed happily.
In fact, the Daesang Organizing Association invited him to present the award because they were interested in his rising momentum in the past two years and wanted to show their favor to him.
In addition, today, when even the Red and White Music Festival has to rack its brains for ratings, the Record Awards will of course use its tricks and invite topical figures.
But in any case, Shinichi Iwahashi is not yet at the point where he can say "I am not interested in fame and fortune". He is very interested in improving his reputation and status in the industry, and he has received the Grand Prize Award.
The association's invitation was gladly accepted.
To present an award, there is no need to rehearse in advance. You only need to calculate the time and leave for the Budokan after the opening of the Kohaku Song Concert. After the awards are handed out, you immediately set off back to the backstage of the NHK Hall without delaying anything.
…
The Red and White Song Festival seeks safety in everything. There will be a rehearsal on the 30th, and on the 31st, there will be a makeup rehearsal. Early in the morning, the singers who were invited to participate in the biggest music show of the year came to the NHK hall and waited.
Follow the process.
During the four-hour show, there were dozens of singers from the red and white groups, including popular idol groups like GEN and SMAP. The backstage was not spacious, but occasionally when a group of idols passed by,
It's particularly narrow.
Somewhat strangely, male idol groups can accommodate so many people, but female idols, except for the kitten club that was famous a few years ago, are mostly in groups of two or three.
This year, Shizuka Kudo, a former member of the Kitten Club, was once again selected for the Kohaku Utakara. And WINK, one of the few female idols who is still very popular, also appeared backstage at the Kohaku Utakara.
When WINK, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, passed by the corridor backstage, the backstage was suddenly narrower and more crowded than a group of hurried male idols. At least four staff members followed the two dressed-up girls.
It is true that WINK's office is making a lot of money from the two girls, but the expenditures of these two girls, whether it is stage decoration, gorgeous costumes, or the team members who work in front and behind the horse, are top-notch in the entire industry
of.
In a sense, he is indeed an ornamental idol that could only be born in the bubble era.
Of course, neither Johnny's idol group nor a popular idol group like WINK can compare to the battle of B.B.QUEENS during action.
There are two lead singers, one male and one female, three backup dancers, five accompaniment musicians... it's so majestic.
This year, this super large group has been scheduled to have a special program linked to "Chibi Maruko-chan". At that time, everyone in the red group and the white group will go into battle to sing and dance with the group.
It is said that there was a lot of internal competition and consideration behind NHK's decision to make "Let's Dance" into a special program for the Red and White Song Festival.
This group has two lead singers, one male and one female. Although the female lead singer Tsubokura Yuiko is the main protagonist, the Red and White Song Club has considered that the red group has been winning for three consecutive years and cannot let the white group continue to lose.
At the beginning, I even planned to put B.B.QUEENS into the white group.
However, if this is really done, it will definitely attract criticism. After all, when it comes to "Let's Dance", what comes to mind is "Chibi Maruko-chan" and what comes to mind is a little funny girl. If this group enters the White House
Team, some viewers must have questioned that it was to increase the strength of the White team, which had been losing for three consecutive years.
Therefore, out of various considerations and the desire for ratings, "Let's Dance" became a special program. With the efforts of NHK, it received the support of Fuji TV. Even the singers who attended the Red and White Song Festival today
They also come as guest dancers and singers for free to have a big party.
It is conceivable that with such a battle, when this show starts, it will definitely usher in a peak ratings.
Having said that, although the "battle" in the Kohaku Utakai Club is purely for entertainment, it would not work if the victory only belongs to the same group. It would damage the brand of the "battle"... but that is something NHK can do.
…
For a four-hour show, there are many singers present, and the lounge is not spacious. Except for the singers who are eligible for separate rooms, there must be some who are squeezed into the same lounge or stay in the same large control room.
.
Takahiro Matsumoto and Hiroshi Inaba were from the same record company as B.B.QUEENS, so they were placed in the same lounge.
On New Year's Eve, I'm going to attend the Red and White Song Concert.
In contrast to the excitement of the two lead singers B.B.QUEENS, the slightly boring expressions of B'z. However, after all, they were in the same room with acquaintances from the BEING era. Under the guidance of B.B.QUEENS, even Takahiro Matsumoto
The stern face finally melted a little.
As the signature of Nagato Daiko’s group, B’z had to attend. However, Tetsuro Oda, who was a musician in B.B.QUEENS, refused to spend time at the Kohaku Utakara on the grounds that he didn’t want to work on New Year’s Eve.
Therefore, in the accompaniment lineup of B.B.QUEENS today, Tetsuro Oda is the substitute.
However, for NHK, as long as the two lead singers stand firmly in the middle, it doesn't matter who the musicians are. Anyway, the audience won't recognize the musicians.
Matsumoto Takahiro was a little envious of Oda Tetsuro who could come and leave whenever he wanted.
Although Oda Tetsuro's request to refuse to work on New Year's Eve was approved, the reason behind it was that Nagato Daiyuki, who had recently had a tense relationship with him, made concessions in order to ease the atmosphere between the two.
I heard that since the establishment of VERMI LLION Records, Oda Tetsuro has not written any more music for the company.
I have been with BEING for ten years. Over the years, Oda Tetsuro has been composing under the encouragement of Nagato Daiyuki. BEING's music library has hundreds of Oda Tetsuro's songs. Even if he does not write music for the company, Nagato Daiyuki
Don't panic either.
However, when the inventory was almost exhausted, Nagato Daiyuki had to repair the relationship with Oda Tetsuro during this period, even if he took a symbolic step or two back.
