The opening performer for the red group was Nakayama Miho. In addition to being the opener, she also served as the representative of the red group and took an oath before the party started. Yes, since it is a "joint battle", as a competition, there is naturally a so-called pre-match oath.
.
When the prelude sounded, she calmly took the first baton and sang her new song "witches" released this year.
After the main battlefield of the stage was handed over to Miho Nakayama, the other singers retreated to the side of the stage and took the opportunity to leave the stage and return to the backstage. After that, they just waited for their turn to appear, then came out of the lounge to prepare and everything would be fine.
.
Facing Miho Nakayama is Hikaru Genji. Hikaru Genji, who both made his debut this year and has been so popular throughout the year, is already qualified to sing a suite at the Kohaku Utakara.
Stage qualifications are nothing compared to popularity and ratings.
While they sang and danced, the juniors they brought along danced with them on stage, and the entire stage immediately became full of Johnny's style.
Singing and dancing while wearing roller skates, and backed up by Jr. who also wears roller skates and dances among them. This stage style, coupled with fancy costumes, constitutes a unique Johnny's flavor.
Although this style has a bit of a circus feel, I have to admit that it is also a unique style.
After returning to the backstage, you can see the performance in front of you anywhere, whether through the monitor in the backstage or the live broadcast on the TV.
Guang Genji is now extremely popular. The backstage staff and even the female singers participating in the Red and White Song Concert all have their fans.
During their performance, there were even staff members who stopped for them.
However, watching the same performance, Iwahashi Shinichi watched Genji's performance, and what he thought in his mind was that the first lesson for Johnny's fans would be to accept Johnny's typhoon.
And once they accept this style of painting, when Johnny launches a new idol, it will be easier for fans to naturally "climb the wall" to the new Johnny's idol because the painting style before and after them is consistent.
In this way, even if the old idol's popularity is lost, it will still go to the idol of his own agency. Not only will Johnny lose nothing, but he will also be able to eat a lot of fish.
Thinking of this in his mind, Iwahashi Shinichi admired Kitagawa's business vision in his heart. He also thought about whether he could extract techniques from this strategy that he could use for himself.
Anyway, Iwahashi Shinichi came from a wild background, and he cares less about the so-called industry rules than anyone else.
Life-long learning.
Stealing an employee may not necessarily only be done in the office under the nose of the boss. Although right now, under his nose, he is indeed sharing a room with a team of Johnnys.
Dreams Come True was arranged to appear in the third group, so after returning to the backstage, he did not go back to the lounge to wait, but went to the waiting room to wait with the singers who were going to appear next to go on stage.
The ones who were arranged to face them were none other than Johnny's male fighting team.
Both bands debuted this year, one is an idol and the other is a talent show. This may be the basis for NHK to put them in a group?
However, in terms of sales, Dreams Come True is not as good as the male Douhu group that sold 600,000 copies of their first single.
The band's biggest selling single to date only has less than 200,000 copies.
With sales tripled, and Johnny's halo bonus, this band is the one to compete with.
Although they are a band, during the rehearsal of the male Douhu group, there was no communication with slump and tm network who were also in the white group.
A considerable part of the reason for this performance is that they now have the idea in their hearts that "the orthodox bands look down on us", so they consciously keep a distance from these bands.
However, now that I am in the same room with Dreams Come True, there is also no communication throughout the whole process, so it doesn’t mean anything at all.
Dreams Come True, who was born in the talent show, is not an orthodox group, and they are peers who debuted in the same year, and their sales volume is not as good as mine. Their opponents are Dreams Come True, and the male Douhu group also has some of the style of a popular band.
In a sense, after debuting as a band, they were not recognized even though their sales were exploding. The male Douhu group also suppressed the urge to prove themselves and feel proud.
This kind of energy can not only urge them to improve their instruments and learn to compose music and write lyrics, but it can also turn into arrogance when facing a band that is not as good as their own.
Several young people in their teens and twenties had no scheming intentions and could not hide anything on their faces. Their attitude made Dreams Come True all three of them aware of it.
Brother Nakamura didn't take it seriously at all and watched live TV to pass the time.
Miwa-chan wouldn't care about someone she met for the first time and was not interested at all, let alone someone who was about to go on stage. Her nervousness returned. Under the table, she reached out to Shinichi Iwahashi and grabbed his left hand.
On the TV screen, the female fans in the audience cheered loudly for Hikaru Genji, coupled with Johnny's full-flavored performance on the stage, for a moment, it felt like this was not watching the Red and White Song Concert, but Gwang Genji's concert. Feel.
Iwahashi Shinichi is focused on TV shows, and Ren Meihe-chan is holding him back.
As for the attitude of the male fighting group, he didn't care at all and didn't take it to heart. He had no interest in the members of this band. Even if he was interested, he would only be interested in Johnny's way of running the idol band.
I'm not afraid of fighting with others, I'm just afraid of hitting cotton with my punch.
The trio of Dreams Come Tru ignored the male Dou Hu group throughout the whole process, neither showing contempt for their idol's background nor looking down upon them because of their 600,000-selling single.
Such an attitude made the four young men, who had reached the peak of their debut and received thousands of cheers from fans, but never received recognition from the band industry, feel an indescribable sense of frustration.
One-sided competition is so boring and harmful to the body.
We have to face them next!
The band's guitarist, Narita Shoji, secretly made up his mind that he would definitely try his best to show off the abilities of the male Dou Hu group, and let the audience in the venue and in front of the TV who regarded them as idols take a look...
Then, let them all vote for the male fighting team for this game.
In a sense, they were holding back their energy before they even took the stage. This band seemed to want to have a serious "battle".
However, the most fundamental reason for this kind of thinking comes from the embarrassment of being an idol but debuting as a band. The more popular you become, the more you will be criticized.
The whole secret competition didn't last long. When Shizuka Kudo appeared on the TV screen, the staff came over to notify them and get ready to go on stage.
The first to appear was the male Dou Hu group, who got up and walked out first.
Then, the three people from Dreams Come True also stood up from their seats. Miwa-chan didn't let go of Shinichi Iwahashi's hand, and stretched out her hand to Brother Nakamura.
The three of them held hands and encouraged each other.
