Enka singer Takashi Hosokawa set records in 1982 and 1983, winning the Grand Prize for the first time in two consecutive years. However, this fresh record was quickly erased. Akina Nakamori, a former idol,
In the following years, 1985 and 1986, he also won the Grand Prize for two consecutive years.
Marked by the unprecedented two-consecutive victory of a female idol, the popularity of enka has also begun to decline in the record market.
In the 1980s, various music styles emerged one after another. After the Plaza Accord in 1985, even the previous recession of the oil crisis was a thing of the past, and what was in front of us was only a golden age of wealth and wealth.
For the general public, they still prefer pretty idols to old-fashioned enka, citypop that is suitable for listening to while driving, new music that is popular among the middle class, and dance music that became popular during the disco craze.
This year, Akina Nakamori kept her momentum and continued to dominate. According to the evaluation standards of the Record Awards, she once again won the Grand Prix. In terms of the results achieved, it is a matter of course.
This time, if she succeeds, she will create an unprecedented three consecutive record wins.
How significant is the significance of winning three consecutive championships?
Now that the momentum of the enka school is declining, Hosokawa Takashi's record of two consecutive wins is likely to be the best result achieved by an enka singer in the Grand Awards. Once the record of three consecutive wins is won, unless there is another phenomenal long-term success in the future,
A popular singer, otherwise it is very likely that it will remain so that no one can break it.
In this way, Nakamori Akina's record will be recorded in the history of music.
For the enka group, which claims to be the big brother in the music industry, it is probably hard to accept that an idol, or a female idol, has created such an unprecedented record.
Although when talking about these, it will inevitably involve some issues about women's rights, but the reality is that the entire Japanese society is such a male-dominated society, and men decide what should be given to women.
When Watanabe Manyumi mentioned the profession of idol, she said more than once that the reason why idols were born in Japan and developed such an ecosystem is because of the low status of women in Japan.
Because of this idea, from the very beginning, these big guys in the entertainment industry excluded Nakamori Akina, preferring to regard people like Kondo Masahiko, who had an agency behind her, as their formidable enemies.
However, as long as Nakamori, Hexagon Warrior, and Akina take action, anyone with eyes will think that the grand prize should be awarded to her.
For the general public, they must abide by the rules that exist around them, but the rules of the distant entertainment industry have nothing to do with them. They will not consider how female celebrities can break records, but will only feel that an unprecedented record has been born.
excited.
If Hexagon Warrior Akina Nakamori attended the Grand Prize, but ended up going away empty-handed against the expectations of the public, the public would definitely know something was fishy if they were not blind.
Therefore, in order to avoid public outrage, in order to make the announcement of the awards more logical, and in order to solve this problem, there is only one way: let Nakamori Akina not participate.
At this time, Ohashi Yukio spoke again: "Nakamori-san is the favorite to win the Grand Prize. This is indeed an unchangeable fact. Iwahashi-kun is right. Not only do we think so, Johnny will also think so.
"
These people speak half-hidden and half-revealed. If you want to know the true meaning of their words, you have to use your own brain to think. The same is true for Ohashi Yukio's words. He specifically mentioned Johnny just to point out a problem.
If Akina Nakamori attends the Grand Awards, no one is more qualified to win the award than her. Others can be sure to stand aside, Hiroshi Itsuki will stand aside, and Masahiko Kondo will stand as far away as possible.
However, if Nakamori Akina withdraws, no one is so sure of her reputation, so it doesn't matter if they start fighting for it. There is more or less a fig leaf there. It's like if the prince dies, the princes each think it will be their turn.
None of us are orthodox, so we all rely on our own abilities.
But speaking of Hiroshi Itsuki, who has a better performance, it is Johnny who hopes Akina Nakamori withdraws from the Grand Prize more.
Kondo Masahiko, who has been releasing records premeditatedly since the beginning of the year, is probably bound to win the Grand Prize. For this reason, the first person he has to deal with is his girlfriend.
Therefore, there is no need for the people on the Enge side to take action. As long as they wait and see what happens, Johnny will first find a way to deal with the favorite to win the championship. It is also because of this confidence that the Enge boss just now
When we mentioned this matter, we completely ignored Nakamori Akina and expected her to have no chance.
Borrowing Johnny's help to let Akina Nakamori quit, Hiroshi Itsuki would be the big winner. Johnny had a back door to leave, and Hiroshi Itsuki was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others.
Johnny has to take the back door for an idol who is on the road to success. Behind the enka singer are the Composers Association and the Yakuza. And in terms of performance alone, the person with a clear better chance of winning is Hiroshi Itsuki.
No one on either side is on good terms.
In comparison, Akina Nakamori is much more pure.
Thinking of this, Iwahashi Shinichi stopped talking. An Jing turned into a spectator, listening to the big guys talking. During this period, he also looked at Watanabe Wan Yumi quietly. She also had a polite smile on her face and almost didn't interrupt.
Just listen silently.
The topic shifted from the Record Awards to other things.
While they were talking, Mori Masako came over to change the tea. Although there was nothing wrong with the hostess hosting the party, Iwahashi Shinichi always felt a little embarrassed to ask a pregnant woman to serve him tea and water.
Mori Masako seemed to feel his kindness, and nodded slightly to him, expressing his gratitude with his eyes.
Shinichi Mori praised the program produced by Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe in front of his wife, "My wife doesn't look at it like this. She really likes the band Heaven. She will record it on a video recorder and watch it during the day. She is very enthusiastic."
When Mori Jin mentioned this, he smiled and said: "I also said that she uses rock music to provide prenatal education for children."
"Hahaha!" All the enge bosses present laughed.
Mori Masako asked her husband to reveal the truth in front of everyone. She was a little embarrassed and turned to praise Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Manyumi, "the two have produced an excellent program."
Her gentle eyebrows make people feel very approachable. After retiring and becoming a housewife, her original light on the stage faded, but it did not fade away, but gave off a new light.
Beyond that, there is a motherly tranquility.
It may be strange to describe her this way, because she is an expectant mother. However, in Iwahashi Shinichi's view, such Mori Masako makes people feel that it would not be a bad thing to have a sister or mother like her.
