On New Year's Eve, Tetsuro Oda refused to accompany B.B.QUEENS at the Red and White Song Concert, but he would still attend the Record Awards on the same day on time.
"Let's Dance" swept all awards this year. In addition to winning the Record Award, the composer Tetsuro Oda also won this year's Best Composer Award.
The Best Composer award generally does not attract much attention from the audience, but from the perspective of the Grand Prize, it is a very important award. In today's era, this award is more inclined to be awarded to composers of enka or ballads.
, the fact that Tetsuro Oda, who is not well-known, was able to win this award shows the power of "Let's Dance".
But on the other hand, the winner of this year’s Grand Prize for Best Lyricist is Sachiko Kamaiike of ZARD.
For Best Lyricist and Best Composition, the winners of both awards are no longer the creators of enka and ballads, and they are all rising stars in the pop music industry who have only recently begun to emerge. The Grand Awards is trying to be younger and reduce the number of enka and ballads.
The proportion of music, two increasingly unpopular genres, has become something that is put on the table and attempted to be conveyed to the audience in front of the TV.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer people watch TV, and the public's tastes have also changed. Today, when enka and ballads are declining, TV stations can only compromise the genre of enka and ballads in order to attract young viewers in order to consider ratings.
face.
Oda Tetsuro was unwilling to accompany B.B. QUEENS at the Red and White Song Festival, but since the composition award at the Record Awards was given to him, a composer with little reputation, he had to go there in person to get it back.
What's more, Oda Tetsuro also values this award very much.
Entering the music industry ten years ago, he has been unknown for many years and has no confidence in the music he writes. Even though he gained some attention due to the success of TUBE, it was not until this song "Let's Dance Together" that his name began
spread.
The annual number one single sold 1.5 million copies, and it was a song that was sung by both men, women and children. For the first time in his life, Oda Tetsuro realized what kind of "miracle" his own hands could create.
Although Oda Tetsuro is introverted and sensitive, he is not a lonely musician who has no interest in fame and fortune and hides behind the scenes wholeheartedly. He hopes to succeed and wants his talents to be recognized. To be precise, it is precisely because of his obscurity for many years that he once got such a success.
Recognition brings a sense of relief and relief...at least it proves that ten years of persistence are correct.
To receive the Best Composer Award, there is no need to perform on stage, and there is no need to arrive in advance to attend the rehearsal. Moreover, since he does not plan to accompany the group on the stage of the Kohaku Song Festival, then B.B. Queens will come to the Budokan to receive the grand award.
Sometimes, no matter what considerations, he will not accompany the group.
When the time came, he went to the stage to receive the award, and there were staff who showed him how to go along the way. And Oda Tetsuro had no interest in arriving early and making friends with people in the industry at the Budokan.
It's one thing to want to be recognized, but it's another thing to have an upward ambition.
In this way, Oda Tetsuro only waited for the opening of the Grand Prize, and then sat in the audience. Of course, considering the traffic conditions on New Year's Eve, although he did not need to arrive half a day in advance to build connections, it was impossible to enter the venue at the right time.
Oda Tetsuro originally planned to ride his beloved bicycle to the Budokan to receive the award, but this idea was rejected on the spot. Nagato Daiko not only took him there fully equipped with a new suit to wear when receiving the award, but also arranged a driver
, assistant and other roles to accompany you.
The sloppy musician who wears slippers all day long, has a face that is sleep-deprived after staying up late, and floats like a ghost between the recording studio and the record company. Now, he has to dress up seriously.
After all, Oda Tetsuro is just a pure musician. Therefore, he was happy to win the award as a composer, and he was happy to receive the award.
However, in the eyes of the businessman Nagato Daiyuki, Nagato Daiyuki handed over the music copyright to Ikuo Shubo for management. In the eyes of the musician Oda Tetsuro, this was completely contrary to the fact that Nagato Daiyuki wanted him to join.
The ideal I promised when I was BEING.
For Oda Tetsuro, the reason why he reacted so strongly to this incident was because he felt betrayed.
His "eldest brother" Nagato, who he respected and obeyed his every word, seemed to have transformed into a different person since he joined the BURNING team and became the president of VER fan LLION Records.
Not only that, at this year’s Red and White Song Festival, B’z’s Takahiro Matsumoto and Hiroshi Inaba accepted the invitation to appear at Nagato Daiyuki’s strong request. After hearing about this, Tetsuro Oda was also quite shocked.
At the beginning, I chose BEING because of President Nagato's respect for the personality of musicians. But now it seems that that "respect" seems to be wishful thinking on their part as musicians.
Maybe it's a bit heartless to think so, but since the establishment of VER Fan LLION Records, Nagato Daiyuki's series of actions made him have to think that Nagato Daiyuki's "respect" can only exist when the production company is in a humble state.
Although Nagato Daiyuki made some arrangements for him to receive the Grand Prize for Best Composition, which seemed very brotherly. However, the feeling of betrayal, the thorn in his heart, was caused by Nagato.
Daxing's considerate demeanor made him even more heartbroken.
In the evening, after changing into his suit and getting into the car arranged by the record company, on the way to the Budokan, Oda Tetsuro thought about this, and he couldn't explain the feeling in his heart.
However, thinking about receiving this extremely important award for him tonight, the haze in his heart finally dissipated, and he inevitably began to look forward to that important moment.
…
Backstage at the Red and White Song Concert.
For two consecutive years, she appeared in the Red and White Song Festival as a backup dancer for GEN Geki. This year, she finally debuted as the representative of the White Group and had her own identity. Despite this, her performance was not impressive after her debut. Among several teenagers, not all of them were the same.
The joy of appearing in red and white.
If there is any "good thing", this year, after becoming SMAP, they were arranged to stay in the same lounge with the three seniors of the youth team, instead of staying in the light and exciting lounge like in previous years.
, was ridiculed by various servants.
In particular, GEN regards SMAP as their rival. Now that the group's debut performance is so poor, if they are still in the same room, I can only imagine how Morohoshi and the others led by him will ridicule them.
Compared to the domineering Guang Genji, the three seniors of the youth team are indeed more approachable and graceful.
"Moreover, for the New Year last year and the year before last, the three seniors prepared generous red envelopes." Katori Shingo thought quietly in his heart. He is only thirteen years old this year, and there is almost a generation difference between him and the youth team.
By staying with the youth team this year, several teenagers from SMAP did not have to worry about being ordered around by Guang GEN and having to run around backstage at the Red and White Song Concert at the risk of being scolded. They were able to wait in peace.
The show begins.
"This year, DREAM's T-shirts and breasts will also participate in the Kohaku Song Festival." Katori Shingo thought of this and subconsciously raised his head and looked at Kimura Takuya, who was sitting near the entrance.
Although they didn't have to be ordered around, the teenagers were obedient and behaved when they were around the seniors, sitting quietly and not making any noise in the lounge unless the seniors spoke to them.
The year before last, I was running around in the corridor to buy a drink for Morohoshi-senpai, and bumped into Giraffe-san, who had a DREAM T-cup and E-cup, and was taught a lesson. Last year, I was asked by Morohoshi-senpai to find out Giraffe-san's identity.
Try to take off his hood.
But both times, Katori Shingo received the care of Kimura Takuya, who stepped forward to stand in the way and dealt with the difficulties put in by Morohoshi and Kai.
This year, not only was he relieved, but Brother Kimura finally no longer had to be implicated by him.
"Why are you sighing, Mr. Shenwu?"
A sudden sound made Katori Shingo's eyes widen. Katsuhide Uekusa of the youth team looked at his reaction and smiled, "Sorry, sorry, I seem to have frightened the obsessed boy."
Katori Shingo's face suddenly turned red and he stammered in defense, "No, that's not the case..."
"Stop teasing him." Dongshan Norizhi smiled.
The boy who seems weak and bullied will arouse Moroboshi and Kazuki's growing malice in bullying and teasing him, and he will be treated with tolerance like he is now by the youth team, or like he was treated by the Giraffe Man before.
After a while, Katori Shingo stood up, bowed, and walked out of the lounge. It was not yet time for the Kohaku Song Concert to start, but the rehearsal had almost come to an end, and the backstage seemed much deserted compared to just now.
After he walked a few steps, he was patted on the back. Just as he was startled, he heard a familiar voice in his ears, "Shen Wujun."
Katori Shingo turned around and said, "Brother Kimura."
"Are you worried about anything?" Kimura Takuya took his hand back and subconsciously put it in his pocket. To his surprise, he remembered that they were wearing performance clothes and had no pockets, and felt funny for a moment.
Katori Shingo shook his head, "Nothing, I remembered Giraffe-san from DREAM."
This is something that we can understand each other through SMAP as soon as we talk about it.
The young man showed an innocent expression, "When I saw the news about DREAM's color T-shirt and E's reform this year, I was still thinking whether Giraffe-san would also bid farewell to the stage of the Hongbai Song Festival."
"Fortunately, no." Kimura Takuya said what Katori Shingo wanted to say.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief this year. I don’t have to worry about running into Giraffe-san while running around in the corridor, and I don’t have to worry about being instigated by Morohoshi-senpai to do harm to Giraffe-san again...
Katori Shingo felt this and said, "It would be nice if we could meet each other and say hello."
He lowered his head normally and said hello to Giraffe-san.
…
At this year's Red and White Song Festival, Iwahashi Shinichi successfully achieved his small goal and put ZARD on the list of appearances, asking the three male musicians of the band to accompany him and Nakamura.
Among the female singers in Qing Yishui, the number of men mixed in increased to five. As a man, he appeared in the red group. This incident suddenly seemed normal.
Even so, after all, they belong to different record companies and offices, so the two bands did not get together for a party. DREAM color T-shirt E will continue to enjoy a separate lounge this year, so that Shinichi Iwahashi does not have to dress up all the time.
treat.
ZARD and Bo Lan were in the same room. They were acquaintances from the same company, so the atmosphere was naturally relaxed and pleasant.
Iwahashi Shinichi came to participate in the makeup rehearsal, and he still had to count the time before leaving the NHK lobby and heading to the Budokan to award the awards. The driver and accompanying assistants were waiting in the parking lot in advance, and the clothes to be worn for the awards ceremony were also prepared.
In the car.
This year's Best Composition Award goes to Tetsuro Oda.
Of course Iwahashi Shinichi is very impressed by the name. After all, he is the composer of "Let's Dance". In addition, I also heard Daikuro Maki talk about it. He has some friendship with Daikoku Maki, and he also wrote
Give her the song.
However, even though I am very familiar with this name, I have never met him in person. After all, the specific production of "Let's Dance" was outsourced to BEING, and Shinichi Iwahashi had almost no involvement.
Iwahashi Shinichi also wanted to get to know this composer, but he never had a suitable opportunity. Unexpectedly, he was second-rate and the first time he met him was on the stage of the Record Awards, where he presented him with an award.
The chief producer of "Let's Dance Together" presented an award to the composer of the single, which was another highlight.
TBS TV station has good intentions for ratings.
There was a small TV in the lounge. Miwa-chan turned it on early. Even though she was in the NHK lobby, she tuned it to TBS TV station early and announced, "From now on, prepare to watch Shinichi-kun appear on the TV."
’s heroic appearance.”
Thank you very much for the word "heroic" rather than any other word. Unknowingly, Iwahashi Shinichi's standard for Miwa-chan has been lowered and lowered. He laughed dryly and said, "I can probably appear for a minute."
"Of course I know this."
Miwa-chan said plausibly, "It's because the appearance time is too short, so I have to adjust the channel in advance."
"..." Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless even though it was late.
It was almost time, and the staff came to remind Iwahashi Shinichi that he stood up and was ready to go. Miwa-chan took advantage of the opportunity and picked up the giraffe hood on the dressing table and stuffed it into his arms.
"Thank you." Iwahashi Shin said sincerely.
But Miwa-chan said sincerely, "You're welcome, I'm the best at this."
When I walked out of the lounge, I was still wearing a giraffe hood, which can be said to be unprofessional. In the long corridor, except for the staff walking by in a hurry, I could hardly see the singers who appeared today. Even if they occasionally rubbed shoulders,
The two people who were alone only nodded slightly to each other.
Until he got into the car, he changed out of the giraffe man's clothes and put on the suit for the award ceremony. As the car drove to the martial arts hall, Shinichi Iwahashi was bored, turned on the small TV in the car, and turned the station to NHK
, waiting to see the Red and White Song Concert.
This year's Red and White Song Festival, the host of the red group continued to be Mita Yoshiko, but the host of the white group was changed from Takeda Tetsuya to Nishida Toshiyuki. In contrast, Takeda Tetsuya's appearance is a bit serious, and Nishida
Min Xing is very cute. After all, he was the second senior brother in "Journey to the West".
DREAM color T-shirt E will continue to play in the second half this year, so there is no need to worry about the conspicuous giraffe head being missing from the red team in the opening appearance.
In the first half of this year, Johnny’s SMAP was responsible for opening the show.
Several flashy teenagers appeared on the stage jumping up and down.
