On the TV, the DREAM sexy T-cup E performed on the stage. Iwahashi Masaaki looked at the TV screen and commented like this - Iwahashi Shinichi just received the certificate from Hattori Katsuhisa, and this has become a matter for the giraffe man again.
"But maybe the person who plays the giraffe tonight is not Shinichi?"
Masaaki Iwahashi guessed casually, and Chiyo Iwahashi said without hesitation, "If anyone could pretend to be a giraffe, Shinichi wouldn't invite us to the concert."
"But even if I went to the concert, I couldn't tell that it was him." Shoaki Iwahashi told the truth. He took an orange and peeled it slowly, "It was better when I went on stage to receive the award just now.
"
In Masaaki Iwahashi's eyes, the producer is more popular than the mascot.
"It would be great if I could go on stage to receive the award like I did just now, and perform like I do now." Chiyo Iwahashi replied.
The old couple told the truth and were calm. But for some reason, it sounded like they were quarreling with each other.
"That's right." Masaaki Iwahashi used his cold-blooded speaking skills again, "This way I can appear twice."
Asako is already married, and Iwahashi Shinichi will attend the Record Awards and the Red and White Song Festival tonight. On New Year's Eve, Iwahashi Masaaki and Iwahashi Chiyo will spend New Year's Eve together. The children are not around, so the house is quiet, but neither of them knows anyone.
It feels deserted, it is better to say that I am accustomed to it and indifferent.
Even Iwahashi Masaaki and Iwahashi Chiyo found the opening of the Red and White Song Concert tonight boring. After switching the channel to TBS TV Station's Record Awards, they never switched back.
After watching Shizuka Kudo's performance, Shinichi Iwahashi went on stage to receive the planning award. Other songwriters and singers whom he knew or didn't know came to the stage to receive the award. DREAM's sexy T-shirt E sang the song they won the gold medal this year...
"Finally, it's time to announce this year's annual awards." On the TV screen, the male host said these words. The highlight of the awards was officially staged.
Inside the martial arts hall, there was a buzzing murmur in the audience.
The host opened the card in his hand, looked solemnly, and read out the name on it, "The winner of the 32nd Record Awards, the annual grand prize is Misora Hibari-san, "川の流れのように" (The stream never stops)."
Sitting in front of the TV, Chiyo Iwahashi said "Ah", "Sure enough."
Different from previous Grand Awards, where the audience was filled with cheers after the Grand Award winner was announced, this time, the singers and audience present applauded in a serious manner.
I don’t know where the applause started, but it continued for a long time. I don’t know who took the lead. In the area where singers and industry insiders were sitting, everyone stood up one after another.
On the big screen on the stage, after the grand prize winner was announced, the official photo of Hibari Misora was shown.
"On June 24th this year, Misora Hibari-san passed away due to illness. During his lifetime, he left behind a masterpiece such as "The Continuous Stream" that will go down in the annals of music history..."
The female host lowered her voice and spoke steadily about the award speech prepared for Misora Hibari.
"Because Misora-san has passed away, for the first time in the history of the Grand Awards, the winner of the annual Grand Prize cannot come to receive the award performance." The male host took over.
While the two hosts were speaking alternately, the singers who were still present tonight, as well as the enka singers who came to the Grand Prize specifically for Misora Hibari, slowly gathered on the stage.
"So, next, everyone on the stage, who walked side by side with Misora-san and looked at Misora-san's back, will work together to complete the performance of this year's Grand Prize song."
"Please listen to the 32nd Record Award-winning work "The Stream"."
Iwahashi Masaaki looked at the people on the stage preparing to sing on the TV screen, "Tonight's Red and White Song Concert must also have such a link."
"After all, it's Misora Hibari-san." Chiyo Iwahashi also started peeling oranges.
Iwahashi Masaaki casually mentioned, "I thought Shinichi's band would have a chance to win the Grand Prize..." After thinking for a while, he continued to be silent, "But anyway, even if he wins the Grand Prize, you won't be able to see the person when accepting the award.
It's him."
At this time, even Iwahashi Chiyo, who was accustomed to it, began to feel cold and picked up a hot tea cup.
…
The public knew that the Misora Hibari commemoration part of the Kohaku Utakarakai would be a big deal. However, among the singers who took the lead in commemorating it was DREAM T-shirt, which surprised many people.
The commemorative session of Misora Hibari is arranged at the end of the first half of the Kohaku Song Festival.
After DREAM's sexy T-cup E received the gold medal, they continued to party. First, they commemorated Misora Hibari. After that, the second half began, and then they sang their own songs.
The annual grand prize was successfully awarded to Hibari Misora. The matter was settled, and Shinichi Iwahashi breathed a sigh of relief.
Avoiding this sudden small pit, it seems that there is a flat upward road in front of the band. Next, it is time to continue charging to a higher position.
The past will never come back, and what has stopped can no longer be turned around. This moment tonight belongs to Misora Hibari, but DREAM color T-cup E has a future.
The band carefully completed the performance of the Misora Hibari commemorative segment according to the previous rehearsal. As long as the performance of this commemorative segment ends without incident, the page will be turned.
Of course, the band is by no means without gains.
After this incident, the favorability of the band has been greatly improved among the enka faction. Of course, there is no such thing as "giving away prizes", but since DREAM's sexy T-cup E can show off the attitude of a junior,
Naturally, he is also the one who has inherited the spirit of Hibari Misora.
So, naturally, he is also a good junior in the music industry who should be treated well by the enka school.
To put it bluntly, for this series of quiet actions, people in the singing school also know why, and they also know why the producer behind the band did this.
This year, the singing group has to save their face, and the band not only saves their face, but also adds a little more glory to them. This kind of thing cannot be said on the stage. Although "favor" must not be admitted, it must be there.
.
The first half of the Red and White Song Festival has ended, and the Record Awards on the other side has also come to an end. In the second half of the battle, there are no old singers who are so old that they make people sleepy, popular singer band idols, evergreens in the music industry, enka and ballads
The backbone of strength, as well as singers from South Korea and Hong Kong...
At this point, things finally get exciting. There is a "New Year's Eve party" atmosphere.
You can feel this as long as you stay at the NHK Hall. After all, the auditorium is full.
At the beginning of the second half, DREAM T-E, as the band that will compete in the second half, appeared on the stage together with the singers who will perform in the second half.
Tonight, Akina Nakamori also performed in the second half. She stood in an inconspicuous place and clapped her hands happily. She didn't look like a singer who came to participate in the performance, but more like an audience member who came to join in the fun.
Iwahashi Shinichi turned his head and saw her childish look, which he found interesting.
…
Last year, DREAM's T-shirts were arranged to compete with the male fighting group, and the idol band was defeated during the voting. This year, the male fighting group was nowhere to be seen, and the opponent was replaced by another group of Johnny's.
It seems that the production team of Red and White Song Club had a bad taste and deliberately let the band fight Johnny again.
However, this year is a "tough battle" because the opponent is Johnny's most popular group GEN.
Of course, except for those singers who have a strong desire to win and compete with their opponents, most of the singers who come to the Red and White Song Festival have a year-end party mentality and will not really "battle" aggressively.
When DREAM's T-shirt and GEN's performance was about to begin, the band and the group both went to the side of the stage to wait.
The idols in the group are young, and most of them have frivolous and cheerful personalities, with only a few teenagers appearing to be a bit introverted. The group's front man, Kazuki Morohoshi, is a frivolous student who is reminiscent of a middle school student who messed around and provoked people everywhere.
His whole body exuded a kind of naughty temperament.
This young idol who has grown up, has a reputation for being wild and reckless, and is spoiled by his fans. When he met the band, he showed great excitement for the giraffe man in the band.
A malicious excitement.
To be honest, these young idols are still the seniors of the band.
"Qilin'er is here!!" Zhu Xinghe Ji laughed and came closer.
He showed a standard idol smile, and the expression on his face looked quite endearing, and it was probably an expression that female fans would buy into.
When you are an idol, you almost always think about how to express your charm in your words, deeds, every frown and every smile.
"Hello guys, please give me your advice later!"
Morohoshi Kazuki looked cheerful and innocent with no evil intentions at all. Only his teammates, seeing him like this, showed a subtle expression of "coming soon".
It's not just Morohoshi and Ji who are spoiled, there are also other "Light Gens".
Still following the group's manager, he knew that Morohoshi and Kai were not easy on the gas, so he hinted at him from the side. Morohoshi and Kai puffed up their mouths and showed a dissatisfied expression.
At this time, the staff came over and asked Guang GEN to enter the arena.
There was no other way, even though they were disappointed, several people followed and walked away.
…
A group of shining male idols just appeared on stage, and screams broke out in the NHK hall.
Hikaru GEN took the lead, and the band was waiting on the side of the stage for the time being. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the monitor and thought to himself, the auditorium in the NHK Hall is really interesting. In the same area, there are always indifferent faces and excited faces.
can appear at the same time.
This kind of situation is not often seen in other programs.
When the performance was going on, the excited fans in the venue enthusiastically helped the idols to heat up the atmosphere. The indifferent audience, infected by the gorgeous and dazzling performance, began to loosen their expressions and cheer appropriately.
Thanks to the blessing of loyal fans, the venue of the Kohaku Song Concert instantly had the illusion that it was a Hikari GEN event.
When GEN performs, they usually bring a group of Johnny's JR backup dancers. In the subtitles below, the group names of the little boys who are backup dancers are printed.
"SMAP".
The white group's performance ended, and the DREAM color T-shirt and breast E came on stage. Compared with the light GEN, the screams at the scene were obviously less, and only one or two could be heard occasionally. However, if you pay attention to the audience, in addition to sitting at the front
, the censors who kept a straight face from beginning to end could hardly see the indifferent audience.
Tonight, the band will perform a special suite at the Red and White Song Festival.
NHK gave them nine minutes for the whole process, from the introduction of the band to the performance, and the official performance time was about seven and a half minutes.
In an event like the Red and White Song Festival, where time and qualifications are strictly limited, a band that debuted in its second year can get far more performance time than other singers, and can also sing suites, purely because it is popular enough and has good ratings.
.
In addition, it may not be due to this reason in conjunction with the Misora Hibari commemoration session just now.
Guang GEN Ji brought a group of dancers and trainees to fill the stage. Here, the lineup of DREAM sexy T-shirts and breasts was not small.
In addition to the three members of the band, there are also additional supporting musicians and a female backing vocalist. In total, there is a lineup of eight people.
This year, the band's most popular songs are "Eyeste", the first million-selling single in Heisei, and "Future Vision II", which was sung at last year's Kohaku Song Contest.
Shinichi Iwahashi was busy at the end of the year, and Brother Nakamura re-arranged the live version. At the beginning, he sang a chorus from "Future Vision II", which meant connecting to the past year and looking forward to the future.
After that, "Eyeste" appeared as the main course, and the whole song was sung in one breath.
Due to Shinichi Iwahashi's request that the band not sing the entire song when participating in music programs, this is the first time that "Eyeste" has been sung live on TV since its release.
Two popular songs, coupled with the band's outstanding live ability, easily lifted the atmosphere in the venue. Miwa-chan sang to her heart's content, running around the stage and interacting with her two Zeng Yi
, interact with the supporting musicians.
However, when people come and go, they only live in a small area in the middle of the stage and don’t run around everywhere.
In the New Year's Eve party, more emphasis is placed on being steady than on how to achieve outstanding results. The time must be stuck and the singing must not run out, and at the same time, it must be ensured that no stage accidents occur.
For example, if you cause damage on stage, or if your guitar catches fire, you will be blacklisted.
Like TMWORK, who made their debut last year, Tetsuya Komuro, who was in charge of the synthesizer in the band, played to the fullest and forgot all about the Kohaku concert, and performed various dazzling tricks one after another, successfully achieving the "first time" performance.
A record that exceeded the time limit on the debut and made NHK furious."
This year, NHK lived up to its reputation of being a little chicken and kicked TMWORK out of the list of singers.
"Look here and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile, Smile~"
Miwa-chan faced the camera, the audience, and the people on the stage, repeating this photo-taking saying. It was not only a photo-taking saying, it was also very effective in activating the atmosphere.
Everyone in the audience unconsciously followed her gesture and waved gently. The fans who had just held the fans to cheer for GEN also cheered enthusiastically. Some of them were more careless and simply waved again.
Light GEN exciting support fan.
The song "Eyeste" comes to an end.
However, it was not the ending as imagined, but the melody of the third song appeared again
Send you a cash red envelope!
"So happy! So happy! I love it so much!"
This famous song, which was banned by NHK last year because it was suspected of killing locusts, was sung as the end of the band's suite at the Kohaku Song Festival in the first year of Heisei.
