1417. Previous Years Today

On New Year's Eve, Miwa-chan got her wish and set up hot pot in the lounge of the Red and White Song Club.

Such things as whimsical ideas can be realized immediately as long as someone responds. From this point of view, Shinichi Iwahashi's marriage has attracted an accomplice for Miwa-chan.

"What else did that Shinichi-kun say? He will take the baby backstage at the Kohaku Utakara Gala from now on." Miwa-chan seized the opportunity and spoke ill of Iwahashi Shinichi to Akina Nakamori.

He kept saying "that Shinichi-kun", this kind of gloating tone made people a little angry. Iwahashi Shinichi pretended not to hear, and also pretended not to see Nakamori Akina's smiling face.

Akina Nakamori, who has a bit of a crazy personality in her personality, is definitely a professional when it comes to supporting people.

"Speaking of which, when I first met Shinichi-kun, we had hot pot together on New Year's Eve." Miwa-chan's thoughts were racing, and she blurted out something that came to her mind.

Iwahashi Shinichi's memories also returned to the past. However, as soon as he felt a little nostalgic, Miwa-chan opposite him immediately began to ruin the atmosphere.

"Shen Yijun exudes an aura that makes you spend the New Year alone if you don't invite me." She commented seriously, speaking her true words after many years.

For a moment, Shinichi Iwahashi hoped that she said that on purpose to make him angry. He really didn't want to be pitied by a crude and nervous guy like Miwa-chan.

Akina Nakamori nodded slightly, "I see." She showed a thoughtful expression, and then a smile appeared on her face, as if she was happy to hear about Shinichi Iwahashi's past that she didn't know about.

Miwa-chan tilted her head and asked for credit from Iwahashi Shinichi, "So, you have to thank me for taking me in."

"Aren't the hot pot ingredients made from AA ingredients?" Shinichi Iwahashi protested to her, and she immediately responded with a sharp sarcasm, "Is Shinichi-kun the kind of person who waits for girls to pay the bill?"

…From a certain perspective, maybe it’s not wrong.

After old scores were brought up in front of his wife, and his stingy and stingy personality was revealed, Shinichi Iwahashi wisely chose to drop the topic. However, it was too late. Akina Nakamori exchanged words with Nakamura, who had been smiling and staying out of it.

After a quick glance, I read the subtext on the big brother's face: "Just get used to it."

Ever since she started participating in the chat sessions between Iwahashi Shinichi and Miwa-chan, Nakamori Akina has been eye-opening from time to time.

However, to a certain extent, in the past that Nakamori Akina does not know and cannot participate in, it may also be a comfort to Nakamori Akina that Iwahashi Shinichi can have such friends and teammates who fight side by side.

This made her smile and listen with interest to the real-time cross talk between the two people.

However, although the hot pot has been set up, it has not been started yet. There is no food to fill the mouth, but there is still a hot pot that can be started at any time. This is probably because Miwa-chan talks more and more.

s reason.

This year, Akina Nakamori served as the finale of the red group. The order of appearance of DREAMS E TRUE was two places ahead of Akina Nakamori. Ordinarily, the four of them could hide in the lounge until the second half of the second half of the Red and White Song Festival. But this year the red group

Baigekai invited a song from the X-JAPAN band, and this song will be performed as a special session by the participating singers.

Although there is also the option of politely declining to appear and staying in the lounge, Akina Nakamori hopes to be able to go on stage and participate in the singing.

The reason for this is because she heard that this song has special meaning to Lin Jiashu. After accepting NHK's invitation, Lin Jiashu wrote this song while thinking about his deceased father.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori both had some friendship with Lin Jiashu, so they knew the inside story.

Thinking that this was a piece composed by Lin Jiashu in memory of her father, Akina Nakamori felt that she shouldn't stay in the lounge backstage during the performance and stay out of the crowd and have fun.

This may not necessarily be out of some kind-hearted idea, but rather because she is the simplest person, touched by the emotions of others, innate empathy, and a little bit of the artist's mind, thinking that this music

Being able to participate in it is something worth remembering.

Akina Nakamori wanted to participate in the performance, so Miwa-chan also responded.

As a result, the four people decided to wait until this round of performances was over before officially starting today's New Year's dinner hot pot.



The backstage outside the lounge is busy. Sometimes singers leave for the show, and sometimes singers return after going to the show. This is the busiest time for the singers attending the annual Red and White Song Festival.

TRF, a new group that just debuted, received preferential treatment in the second year of their debut because they were so popular that they were arranged to appear in the second half. In this way, they did not need to rush between two places and just waited.

The grand prize awards are over, just head here.

It is worth mentioning that although the lead singer of TRF is a woman, the group was placed in the white group this year. This arrangement is probably because the "central figure" of the group is not a female lead singer.

This year, ZARD did not participate in the Red and White Song Concert. As a result, the red group once again had only DREAMS E TRUE with two male members mixed in.

Shinichi Iwahashi had to make another determination to launch a band with a female lead singer and serve as ZARD's substitute at the Kohaku Song Festival.

Until the chorus started, the four of them chatted about various topics while watching the live broadcast of the Record Awards. Tonight, Shinichi Iwahashi's wife and his bandmates will accompany him to witness.

GENZO Records won its first major award.

Akina Nakamori has long been a top-level singer at the Record Awards and no longer participates in award competitions. As for DREAMS E TRUE, although Miwa-chan likes to appear on the big stage, she is not particularly obsessed with winning the Grand Awards and does not even want to sign up to participate.

select.

According to her, every song by the band is a masterpiece. When it comes to selecting the "best", the answer is "all of them".

When Shinichi Iwahashi heard these words, he couldn't help teasing her, "What if it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Song?"

Miwa-chan said without hesitation, "If it's a Grammy Award, of course it's a different matter."

...That is really "if it is a ninth-grade lotus platform, it might as well be in the lower grade."

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. However, with Miwa-chan's personality, not only would she not be unhappy when being complained about like this, but she would also feel complacent because Iwahashi Shinichi compared her to Seishonagon.

In addition to the most important awards, GENZO has signed up Yonemitsu Asami for the Newcomer Award this year. Of course, in accordance with previous years' practice, it has also signed up its singers for the Album Award.

The Grand Awards has an unspoken rule that the singer himself is required to attend to receive the award, but for other awards, there is no rule that the singer himself must attend. On the GENZO side, although Daikoku Moki and ZARD were both nominated for the Best Album Award

, but on New Year’s Eve this year, Daikuro Maki told Iwahashi Shinichi in advance that he would go skiing with Kamai Sachiko and Akamatsu Haruko.

Kamaike Sachiko and Akamatsu Haruko were in step with each other, and Daikuro Maki liked to stick to Kamai Sachiko, so unknowingly, the three of them acted together.

Although Akamatsu Haruko is a dignified young lady, she has been able to step out of a conservative family and enter the entertainment industry. She has a stubborn and casual side in her heart. At this point, Kamai Sachiko is similar. The two of them just look at each other.

On the outside, they are all quiet and dignified, and seem to follow the rules. But in fact, they all have an arbitrary and unrestrained side in their behavior.

On the other hand, Daikuro Maki, who looks like a carefree elder sister, is actually the most traditional of the three compared to these two. Therefore, Kamai Sachiko and Akamatsu Haruko have always been in charge of this trio.

The backbone, Daikoku Moki, knew this and took on the role of younger sister without any burden.

When Asami Yonemitsu debuted, she almost missed the deadline for registration for the Grand Prize. After her debut, her debut single received a good response. Since its release, the best ranking on the charts is eleven. For a newcomer,

His performance has been quite impressive, and it is more than enough to win the Outstanding Newcomer Award.

However, the most important new artist award, the "Best Newcomer Award", still has to make way for newcomers to singing.

The selection criteria for the Newcomer Award of the Grand Awards are inherently vague, and they are more biased towards enka fans. In recent years, the enka market has been declining. The more this happens, the more enka fans care about the award arrangement of the Record Awards.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't care whether Asami Yonemitsu won the Most Outstanding Newcomer Award or not, he was just joining in the fun. Akina Nakamori and Miwa-chan, on the other hand, were as happy as if the team they supported had scored a goal when Asami Yonemitsu came on stage to accept the award.

However, of these two fans, one has no interest in the Daesang, and the other is the first legendary singer to enter the Daesang hall.

Akina Nakamori has set a precedent for winning three consecutive times, which means that there will be a second singer to win three consecutive times in the future. But since then, although there are many capable people in the Daesang at the end of the year, no one has shown such dominance again.

level of influence.

When Iwahashi Shinichi routinely looks through the list of Grand Prize winners every year, a thought occasionally flashes through his mind: whether the next legend will come from GENZO and be created by him.

And this is also his next goal and the source of his motivation.

One award after another was announced. During this period, when a singer that everyone was interested in appeared on the stage at the Red and White Song Festival, the TV in the lounge also changed the channel. Several people commented on the performance on the TV.

, In this situation, if a radio channel is opened, it will be the backstage singers complaining about the Red and White Song Festival that will be broadcast simultaneously with the program.

This year, the host of the red group is Hikaru Ishida, an actress who has just appeared in a morning TV series, and the host of the white group is Masaaki Kai, a veteran of the Red and White Song Festival stage.

When selecting hosts, the white group pays more attention to qualifications and status than the red group. The hosts of the red group are often new actresses who have collaborated with NHK this year. However, the opportunity for young actresses is almost only this one time.

Veterans appear again and again.

Ishida Hikaru is a girl idol. He is young, but he is very powerful on the stage. Facing a veteran like Kai Zhengzhang, he does not feel embarrassed at all when talking to him. It is more interesting when they are evenly matched. Thanks to this motivation

Thanks to the talented young actors, the whole stage really brought a tense atmosphere of "joint war".

Of course, after all, this is the Spring Festival Gala, which is called a battle but is actually a party. The chatter between the hosts always has a lively comedy color, and when the performance is in progress, there are also various cross-overs between the two groups.

cooperate.

Soon, NHK staff came to inform and prepare for the debut.

Akina Nakamori left for the time being and returned to her lounge to change. The three people from DREAMS E TRUE also entered the locker room.

Shinichi Iwahashi puts on his giraffe hood and prepares to be the backdrop for Akina Nakamori and Miwa-chan.



The reason why X-JAPAN can become a leading super group is not only the talents of the members, but also the smart business acumen is an important magic weapon for the band to reach the top.

From the very beginning, he has not refused commercialization, and has actively embraced commerce, finding a balance between commerce and art. Today, Lin Jiashu has achieved an unprecedented success. This band has not only achieved major success in Japan,

It has also gained attention and popularity from overseas with considerable momentum.

It was precisely because of the idea of ​​entering the world that the band's name "X" was changed to "X-JAPAN".

People with smart minds are successful in whatever they do. Shinichi Iwahashi was deeply impressed by this leader who looked like a princess but was actually a shrewd and powerful leader. And this deep impression came more from getting to know him.

We have had many contacts and cooperation since then.

Not only is the band itself a great success, this year, a band called LUNA SEA appeared on the stage of the Red and White Song Festival. This band took the most important step before their mainstream debut through Lin Jiashu's record company.

The backstage where the chorus was about to begin was quite chaotic. The singers, standing shoulder to shoulder, nodded politely to each other, but there was no unnecessary communication.

Nakamori Akina spread out the lyrics in her hand, and Miwa-chan leaned over and looked at the same piece of paper as her. Iwahashi Shinichi stood between the two people. As the most conspicuous symbol of the entire backstage, its biggest role was to let everyone see it.

Akina Nakamori and Miwa Yoshida are here.

Of course, there may also be people who look at the giraffe man in greeting.

Iwahashi Shin always felt that someone was watching him, but he looked around and couldn't find the target person.

The words of the host in front of the stage were clearly transmitted to the backstage. Hikari Ishida, who served as the host of the red group, was introducing the lyrics and composer of the song to the audience.

Lin Jiashu, who was in charge of the creation, took the stage first. Then, under the guidance of the staff, the singers backstage came on stage from both sides of the stage and stood at the pre-rehearsed positions marked on the floor.

Nakamori Akina and Miwa-chan, the two of them share the same microphone, shoulder to shoulder.

Miwa-chan is always crowded on the stage, but she is always nervous before the official performance. Brother Nakamura stands beside Miwa-chan, and the giraffe man is like a mascot that has wandered into the wrong venue, innocently between the two women.

, poked his head out.
