Okada Yukiko once told Nakamori Akina that the person who promoted this music festival that became a topic was Iwahashi Shinichi.
When Akina Nakamori heard about this incident, she subconsciously thought about the young man who high-fived her at the concert, and wondered whether he, who excitedly said "Success!" when the people around him were confused, was the one who gave her a high-five.
It’s about the music festival.
If so, is it related to Shinichi Iwahashi whom Yukiko Okada mentioned to her from time to time?
Today, I met him by chance at the backstage of the Kohaku Utakara, and the doubts and curiosity that had been suppressed resurfaced in Nakamori Akina's heart.
Okada Yukiko's words, the cheers of "Success!" at the concert, and the current location of their reunion, these three things slowly came together to form a guess, pointing to the same person.
"Iwahashi... Shinichi-san?"
"Why?"
When Nakamori Akina called out his name, Iwahashi Shinichi was startled, feeling as if he had lost his vest in broad daylight.
It's so cool...
Oh no, what a surprise.
As for the way Nakamori Akina knew his name, he thought it was through Okada Yukiko. What surprised him was that she could identify who he was so accurately.
Whether it's intuition or judgment, this girl is top-notch.
…
The surprise on Shinichi Iwahashi's face was noticed by Akina Nakamori.
The young man who said "Success!" was the same person as Shinichi Iwahashi who pulled Yukiko back from the edge of the cliff. At the moment when the suspicion in her heart was verified, Akina Nakamori felt a little happy for some reason.
When Yukiko was desperate, she made her last call to Shinichi Iwahashi. It was he who stretched out his hand to pull Yukiko back from the edge of the cliff, allowing a fresh life to remain in the world.
Because of this incident, although Akina Nakamori knew nothing about Shinichi Iwahashi, she still had an unknown kindness and affection for him, as well as a little bit of curiosity about him.
Similarly, the energetic young man at Joan Jett's concert left a really vivid impression on her. But now, these two people are the same person...
Nakamori Akina felt that it would not be surprising at all if such a person would reach out to hold Yukiko.
Despite this, after confirming Iwahashi Shinichi's identity, Nakamori Akina didn't say anything or mention anything. She just smiled politely and bowed to him, "...Thank you for your hard work."
Iwahashi Shinichi also nodded to her, and the two of them said nothing more, and nothing changed.
People were coming and going in the corridor, and there was no room to stay for a long time. Both parties moved forward separately.
As they passed each other, Iwahashi Shinichi heard Nakamori Akina's agent ask her: "Is she someone you know?"
Akina Nakamori replied: "I've met her on other TV stations before."
Such an extremely short episode was like an encounter like a dragonfly touching water.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't take this matter to heart.
Although when they met and confirmed his identity, Nakamori Akina and he each jumped out of the circle of identity. However, after this moment of encounter, Taopu Star is still Taopu Star. Although the newbie in the industry has been promoted to half
New or not, they are still small agents in different camps.
There are not many opportunities to be looked at by Akina Nakamori. I'm afraid there will be many opportunities to pass by in the future.
Therefore, Shinichi Iwahashi lowered his head and looked at the bento in his arms. The most important thing now is to fill Shinichi Mori and his own belly.
…
Shinichi Mori's other agent brought his family with him, unlike Shinichi Iwahashi who was alone. Therefore, on New Year's Eve, Shinichi Iwahashi followed Shinichi Mori and completed the entire trip.
He called his hometown in Shizuoka and told his parents that he couldn't go home because of his music work. There was no special reaction on the other end of the phone, although he was asked to stay in Tokyo and make a name for himself.
The parents in Shizuoka are also very kind to each other. They don't care at all about their children not returning, and they seem to have no concern for each other. However, rather than saying that it is indifference to family affection, it is better to say that it is a kind of wonderful freedom. This family can give birth to children.
Strange women like his sister seem to have the same heritage.
There are many popular people, and there are many popular jobs.
Mori Shinichi has a full schedule this day. During the day, he has to attend the Record Awards rehearsal in the morning, and in the evening he has to attend both the Red and White Song Concert and the Record Awards.
The Record Awards is a music award sponsored by the Japan Composers Association. Among the many music awards in Japan, it is very authoritative and valuable.
Mori Shinichi did not release any popular works this year and was not eligible for important awards, but he was also selected for the Outstanding Work Award. According to the rule of not returning empty-handed if selected, there will be a performance on the stage of the Record Awards tonight.
The Record Awards is co-organized by TBS TV station and will be broadcast live on New Year's Eve. The Red and White Song Festival and its cheerful family fun are great, but the Record Awards, a stage where everyone is famous and right, also focuses on celebrities in the record industry during this year.
Not only that, the rich program format with suspense, awards and performances is also very popular among the public, so the ratings once reached more than 50%. Half of the viewers across the country are waiting to announce the highest award, which is the annual grand award.
candidate.
The biggest highlight of this year's annual awards is whether Nakamori Akina can win the crown with her single "desire-passion-".
If she can do it, she will tie the record of enka leader Takashi Hosokawa and become the second singer in the history of the Record Awards to win the Grand Award for two consecutive years. Yes, last year's Grand Award song was hers
The single "ミ?アモーレ[meuamoré]" (My Love).
The song "Desire - Passion -" became very popular as soon as it was released, pushing Akina Nakamori's career to a new peak. Whether it is sales, topicality, or even innovation, it is impeccable. It is the single sales volume of this year.
The runner-up.
By the way, the champion is "cha-cha-cha" by Akemi Ishii.
However, although this single won the annual championship, it was not even shortlisted because it was a cover of Finzi Contini's song of the same name. However, there are regulations in the Record Awards that the song of Waiguoren cannot be
Participate in the Grand Prize selection.
Ishii Akemi is also very lucky. She is a newcomer who just debuted this year, and the song "cha-cha-cha" is her debut single.
After its release, it happened to catch up with the recent disco trend. Discotheques in Roppongi were springing up like mushrooms after rain, and everyone was dancing. This song just hit the spot, and it became a top-selling single in the year.
It would be another matter if they could capitalize on the success and become popular, but the second single was brought back to its original form and only sold a fraction of the debut single.
However, being able to beat Akina Nakamori at her peak by more than 10,000 votes is enough to boast for a lifetime.
But on the other hand, Akina Nakamori was a little unlucky when a cover song was used by a Yippaya to take away the championship with a narrow gap of 10,000 copies.
