"If Genji won't attend, I wonder if Shizuka-chan will have a chance." My younger sister also joined the discussion.
However, Dad voted for Changbu Gang, "A song like "Cheers" will be sung by someone in thirty years time... especially when there are two daughters at home."
The lyrics of "Cheers" are about the newlyweds entering the wedding hall.
The king of folk singers, Changbu Gang, has been in the industry for more than ten years, and his talent is still as good as before. In this year, he composed the song "Cheers", which became a hit song, had a high karaoke singing rate, and became a popular song at weddings this year.
Fathers who used to sing enka to bless newlyweds have changed to singing "Cheers" this year.
"I don't want my tone-deaf father to sing "Cheers" at my wedding ceremony." My sister muttered. She was fourteen years old, which was the time when she hated her father during her adolescence.
After receiving a knowing blow from his adolescent daughter, his father, whose self-esteem was damaged, fiercely retaliated, "A song like "Cheers" would be messed up even if Genji Hikaru were to sing it!"
Using the current love of his daughter's heart to find a place for himself can be said to be an extremely accurate step on his daughter's tail.
It was my mother who came out at the right time to end this inexplicable war. "The songs shortlisted this year are all very good, so it's no surprise whoever gets them...Rather than that, I'm looking forward to Akina-chan's performance tonight."
"Three consecutive champions!"
When mentioning Akina Nakamori, my sister, who is in the third grade of elementary school, immediately shouted out the word.
The family's attention was then shifted to the opening of the Record Awards.
Magazines and information programs have promoted it in advance. At this moment, thousands of viewers know that Akina Nakamori will be the first top-level singer at the Record Awards to perform a special performance on the program tonight.
The crown prepared for the Red and White Song Concert stage can be worn even after winning the Record Awards.
The hosts of this year's Record Awards are Hiroshi Sekiguchi and TBS TV anchor Miyun Takae. Last year's Record Awards were hosted by these two partners.
After recently witnessing Nakamori Akina's historic three-game winning streak, these two will serve as witnesses for her "Night of Conferment" tonight.
…
There is a TV in the lounge backstage at the Red and White Song Festival, but the seniors of the two families have no intention of turning it on, and it is not easy for Dreams Come True people to turn it on.
After all, waiting is boring, especially being in the same lounge with the seniors. No matter how nice the seniors are, just having to abide by the rules of the juniors is enough to make people feel uncomfortable.
Shinichi Iwahashi excused himself and left, and Miwa-chan followed him out.
Only Brother Nakamura didn't mind sitting with the seniors of these two families, sometimes chatting and sometimes being silent.
However, they have to act together every time they go out. With this inseparable energy, Miwa-chan's words of "guardian" just now automatically lost their persuasiveness in the eyes of Komuro Tetsuya.
When Nakamura Masato was chatting with people from tm network earlier, he already said that Giraffe Man is the organizer of the band.
As a result, Tetsuya Komuro became more and more curious about who this mysterious giraffe man was under the hood.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Miwa-chan walked to the vending machine backstage, and he asked, "Do you want something to drink?"
Miwa-chan laughed at him, "You know you can't drink anything, but you still ask me what to drink."
"I can't help it, I'm a guardian after all."
Iwahashi Shinichi took back the advantage Miwa-chan had taken advantage of before. When it came to fussing over things, the two of them were evenly matched.
Miwa-chan pouted and said to him: "How stingy."
Even so, the stingy Iwahashi Shinichi bought her some water.
…
There is a TV next to the vending machine, which is playing the TBS Record Awards. People passing by occasionally glance at the TV screen, and some people stop there specifically.
After all, it is an annual event just like the Red and White Song Festival. Backstage at NHK, there are many people who care about tonight's grand award.
On the TV, an edited review of Akina Nakamori's past participation in the Record Awards was being broadcast.
On the Night of the Gods, TBS TV station specially edited various moments of her participation in the Record Awards since her debut, taking the audience to review her journey from a fledgling career to her third consecutive victory.
The first time she appeared on stage was at the Record Awards in 1983. In this year, Akina Nakamori was eighteen years old. She had a chubby face that had not lost her baby fat and looked like a child.
From this year until this year, Akina Nakamori has never missed the Record Awards. In a sense, this review of the Record Awards can be said to be a record of her growth.
From her youthful days to the fading of her baby fat, in 1986, "Desire - Passion -" won the grand prize for the second time. She was closer to her current appearance and became more and more expressive on stage.
When Iwahashi Shinichi met Nakamori Akina, she was already a charming Topo Star. Therefore, it is interesting to watch this clip that lays out her growth path in front of her.
Is this how the Japanese watched her grow from a young girl to an adult?
When reviewing all this, there was a small window left in the upper right corner of the camera, showing Mori Akina's reaction during the live broadcast.
Seeing in public how she became who she is today, Akina Nakamori looked back at her past with a shy but also nostalgic smile.
The last scene is from 1987's "Hardcore."
She had a natural look on her face, looking at herself performing on the stage.
At the end of the clip playback, applause from the audience rang out on the TV. The camera was pointed at the stage, and the hosts Sekiguchi Hiroshi and Mikumo Takae stood on the left and right next to Nakamori Akina, chatting with her.
Outside the TV, Miwa-chan accompanies Iwahashi Shinichi to watch TV, "Three consecutive champions, really amazing."
"Indeed." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
I thought to myself that this third consecutive victory was of great significance in every aspect, and was even "fate-determining."
On the TV, after the greetings with the host ended, the music started. Akina Nakamori sang a medley of suites at tonight's Record Awards. First there was a section of "ミ?アモーレ(meu amore...)", and then "desire -情热-",
Then, it transitioned into the melody of the new song "tatto" released this year.
"I didn't sing "Hard to Break a Ship."" Miwa-chan commented, "If I couldn't sing it... it would be too incompatible with the previous two songs."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled after hearing her words.
He guessed that the reason why Nakamori Akina didn't sing "Hard to Break a Ship" was because it "didn't match the tune".
…
The Hall of Fame session specially prepared for Akina Nakamori ended, and the awards session of the Record Awards began.
First of all, this year's Newcomer Award and the Best Newcomer Award were awarded. The band did not attend the Grand Awards this year. Sony's staff, as representatives, went to receive their Newcomer Award for Dreams Come True.
It is said that Johnny's male fighting team will be the most popular this year and the ones most deserving of the Best Newcomer Award. However, because Johnny has withdrawn from the Grand Awards, they will not appear at this venue.
Last year, they used all kinds of dirty tricks to get Kondo Masahiko to win the award. As a result, the firm lost face and was forced to withdraw from the selection.
As a result, this year's two combinations were in a sweep, but they were not even qualified to touch the trophy.
Not only that, from now on, whenever Johnny has an idol who performs well but misses the award selection, someone will dig up the dark history of trying to buy an award and being beaten on the ground instead.
Every time a group of idols become popular, they are exposed.
Just thinking about it, you can imagine how frustrated Kitagawa Marie was.
The male Douhu group missed the selection, and this year's Best Newcomer Award was awarded to newcomer Xiang Xixun in the entertainment industry.
The overall performance of the enka group this year was poor. This group won the Best New Artist, which can be regarded as an extra point. Although, as far as the Record Awards are concerned, the New Artist Award is not an award worth talking about.
After the awards were given to the newlyweds, Kaoru Kaoru, dressed in kimono, took the stage to sing.
Miwa-chan threw the empty bottle into the trash can and grabbed Shinichi Iwahashi's sleeve. She had no interest in performing songs.
Shinichi Iwahashi also doesn't appreciate enka. If he wants to express his feelings, the only thing he can express is that the enka singer who sings is beautiful.
Speaking of which, while enka singers are on the decline, they are also looking for ways to return to their former glory. In the idol era, the selection of enka singers, especially women, has also begun to tend to be idolized.
Specifically reflected in the sign of "Beautiful Enka Singer".
Kaoru Kaori who is singing now is the cute Sakamoto Fuyumi with a bun face, also known as the beauty enka. Although in Iwahashi Shinichi's opinion, Sakamoto Fuyumi is now like Nakamori Akina when she first debuted. Compared with the beauty, she said
The sentence is cute and appropriate.
…
The countdown to the official performance of the Red and White Song Club began, and the staff went to the lounges one by one to notify the singers, asking the singers to go to both sides of the stage to wait.
At the beginning, the host will introduce the singers who will perform tonight one by one.
On this occasion, appearances are in order, so you have to go to the waiting room in advance, arrange it by the staff, and wait in line.
tm network's Takashi Utsunomiya said goodbye to the band, "We will become 'enemies' next."
Of course, the term "enemy" is purely a joke. Although it is called the Red and White Song Battle, the so-called duel is nothing more than a year-end party. There is no real reward if you win, and there is no loss if you lose.
By the way, last year's winning team was the red team. As usual, at the beginning, the host of the white team will definitely express their bold words that they must win the winning flag today.
As for the red group, the goal is to hold on to the flag and achieve consecutive championships.
Today, Dreams Come True also joins the team guarding the winner's banner.
The three of them walked out of the lounge. Miwa-chan grabbed Shinichi Iwahashi's hand out of habit. She took Shinichi Iwahashi's hand and looked at Nakamura brother.
Brother Nakamura also shook her hand and then let go, "The corridor is too narrow."
There are still so many people. The three people walking hand in hand are the moving blockers.
Of course, the point is that it would be embarrassing for three people to walk hand in hand... Brother Nakamura thought to himself.
Iwahashi Shinichi also wanted to let go, but Miwa-chan held him tighter.
She looked like a student who was about to take the final exam. She had no choice but to go there together hand in hand.
Brother Nakamura walks his own path with a smile, and he never loses when it comes to the matter of a dead Taoist friend but a poor Taoist.
