The Kansai Cable Grand Prize was won by ZARD, and the Kanto Cable Grand Prize was announced at about the same time. The grand prize winner was Horiuchi Takao's "Love Song Diary".
This song was first sung by newcomer Shiori Aso. Aso Shiori was originally a clerk in a department store in Aomori. At the age of twenty-five, by chance, he was recommended to participate in an interview with a TV station and got the opportunity to debut.
Her debut song was "Love Song Diary" composed by Takao Horiuchi.
This song was not sung by Aso Shiori, but in the past year, Horiuchi Takao took it back to sing it himself. Once released, it was well received. Not only did it have strong on-demand performance, it won the Kanto Cable Grand Award and was on the sales list. It also performed extremely well, selling 370,000 copies this year.
"Honorary Citizen of Osaka" ZARD was able to win the Kansai Cable Grand Prize over "True Osaka Citizen" Takao Horiuchi. While Shinichi Iwahashi was happy for the band, he was also really surprised.
It is precisely because ZARD won the major prize in Kansai that gave Shinichi Iwahashi the confidence to further enter Kansai.
Horiuchi Takao once formed the band ALICE with Shinji Tanimura and Toru Yazawa. In the 1980s, the band ceased activities and the members went solo. For Horiuchi Takao, this single is one of the representatives of the 20th year of his singing career. With this single, he not only won the Kanto Cable Awards, but was also shortlisted for the Red and White Song Festival and the Gold Medal of the Record Awards. He is enjoying great success at the end of this year.
The flowering period of singer-songwriters is long. As long as they can write good songs, the second spring will come at any time.
…
The two cable TV awards in Kanto and Kansai were announced one after another, and Fuji TV's FNS Music Festival was also held as scheduled. As expected, "Let's Dance" won the Grand Award at the FNS Music Festival.
As the highest-selling single of the year, it is also the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan" broadcast by Fuji TV. Not only that, Fuji TV also owns the original copyright of this single. For reasons and reasons, this award won No. Of course, with the performance of this single, it is indeed so strong that it would be strange not to give it an award.
Having said that, if it's an FNS Music Festival, most of the audience won't care no matter who the award is given to.
The ratings of the FNS Gayo Festival have been unsatisfactory in recent years. To be precise, the public has become tired of the overwhelming number of music award shows. At the end of the year, they turn on the TV and any TV station is awarding awards. Singers with similar faces are showing similar performances. Excited and tearful.
The Record Awards are recognized as the most authoritative awards no matter what. The two Cable Awards in Kanto and Kansai award awards to the king of radio on-demand, while the other Golden Record Awards award real money. sales volume.
Although these awards are not without scandals such as award buying, repurchasing, and data manipulation, after all, there are overall selection criteria that the public can understand and accept, and there are data clearly listed for the audience. Except In addition, the two cable TV awards also accounted for an additional amount of freshness.
After all, the king of record sales may not necessarily get a bargain from cable broadcasters. Just like Takao Horiuchi and ZARD can win cable TV awards, but "Let's Dance" is not often requested on the radio.
Programs like the FNS Music Festival lack the authority of the Record Awards in the minds of the public, and there is nothing new about the award criteria that makes the public feel fresh. Naturally, their appeal becomes less and less every year.
In addition, with the development of society, various entertainment methods have replaced television, and the channels for the public to obtain information have also increased significantly. The time viewers spend watching TV every day has been greatly reduced. Even if they are interested in award ceremonies, they will naturally choose authoritative ones first.
For award shows like FNS Gayo Festival, where neither top nor bottom, the situation becomes awkward.
According to the information Iwahashi Shinichi heard from Fuji TV, the production company is very interested in stopping this award ceremony. However, the TV station must have a good music special program at the end of the year, and the FNS Gayo Festival has already gained a reputation.
, most of them are revised based on the existing ones.
If the awards ceremony of the FNS Music Festival is really cancelled, then "Let's Dance" will become the last grand prize winner. But it will not prevent "Let's Dance" from being a hit at the end of this year.
Having said that, Fuji TV stopped hosting the FNS Gayo Festival after considering this year. TV Asahi, on the other hand, acted more quickly and stopped the "All Japan Gayo Music Festival" hosted by TV Asahi this year.
Of course, the most important reason why TV Asahi was able to act so decisively was because there was nothing worth remembering about this awards ceremony.
In comparison, the FNS Gayo Festival had a period of glory, but TV Asahi’s all-Japanese folk music festival has a very impressive name, but in fact since its launch, as the outside world once commented, "As long as Japan has
NTV, Fuji TV, and TBS TV stations are enough." In this way, this awards ceremony has been neither up to down nor dispensable, which is quite embarrassing.
During Tianlu's critical illness, folk entertainment activities were restricted. That year, the National Music Festival was suspended for a year, but several important award ceremonies, including the FNS Music Festival, were all safe and sound. They were suspended for one session and then resumed the following year.
The ratings and response of the first episode were not very good, which accelerated the TV station's move to end this awards ceremony.
The All-Japan Gayo Music Festival is suspended this year, but a special music program is needed at the end of the year. This important task finally fell to MU Private C Station, which has the best ratings of TV Asahi.
This year, TV Asahi decided to produce a four-hour special program on MU Private C Station on December 21st, inviting this year's topical singers and rising stars to perform a super-large live performance.
Whether it is discontinued or transformed, music programs in the form of award ceremonies have gradually lost public interest. This has become a fact. And with the advent of a new era, many conventions in the past have been broadcast for more than ten years, or even for several years.
It is obvious that programs that have been produced for ten years will be eliminated.
…
The sales of "Let's Dance" hit a record, and the accompanying animation was also a highly rated and discussed work this year. Under the promotion of Fuji TV, various videos about "Chibi Maruko-chan" and "Let's Dance"
Activities came one after another, and even the ambiguous phrase "cracking, crackling, crackling" in the lyrics became a buzzword this year.
The high sales volume has increased the national popularity. According to the evaluation standards of the Grand Prize, it can be called a perfect score this year.
The theme song of the animation swept through the ranks at the end of the year, winning all the awards it could win, and even booked a special program for the Red and White Song Festival, which can be said to be a great success. With such a grand occasion, no one can't help but sigh in their hearts, animation
The theme song is not popular until it becomes popular. Once it becomes popular, it will be aimed at national level.
Kohaku Uta will never miss a hot spot. Although "Chibi Maruko-chan" is an animation produced by Fuji TV, it still successfully obtained the right to use the animation under the guise of "preparing a special performance for "Let's Dance".
Among them, Fuji TV also needs to look at BURNING's Ikuo Subo. After all, B.B. QUEENS is now a singer in the BURNING department, and Ikuo Suho himself has a close relationship with NHK.
"Let's Dance" was booked for the Grand Prize, which was a success for Shinichi Iwahashi. After all, this single was released by GENZO.
Fuji TV promotes it, BURNING spares no effort to support it, and NHK tries its best to borrow its light... The harder these forces work, the more money Iwahashi Shinichi can make.
With the big debut of "Let's Dance", there is almost no suspense about this year's Grand Prize.
The answer has been written down on paper early. There is no need to compete with each other, and the industry has calmed down. Even the tabloids and magazines have no interest in exaggerating. They are just waiting for this group that was born this year to collect the awards they want to win.
.
Everyone already knows who the Grand Prize will be awarded to. But besides the Grand Prize, there are various other awards.
GENZO was in the limelight this year and won many awards. Each of the three bands had an album selected for the best album of the year. In addition, Sachiko Kamaike won the Grand Award for Best Lyricist, and Keiko Utoku won the award.
Daesang Newcomer Award. Regardless of fame or fortune, this year is a fruitful year.
At the end of the year, no matter what industry or industry, various receptions and summary meetings are being prepared. It is the most prosperous and lively time in the world. Late at night, there is no shortage of drunkards in the streets and no shortage of drunken noises.
However, compared to last year, although the end of this year is still lively, there seems to be a subtle, inexplicable shadow of depression hanging over this city that never sleeps, making this place lively and subtly like a doomsday carnival.
.
Despite this, for the record industry, which has finally ushered in market recovery, this year is a year of significant improvement in performance. Record industry practitioners are ambitious and looking forward to the coming year.
Some people are happy and some are sad, some people reach the top and some people fall from the top.
For GENZO, which has gained a firm foothold this year and is standing in front of the high-speed track, the company is full of joy from top to bottom. The employees are full of energy when they go out to entertain and socialize, and they are also full of energy when they come back to attend the company's summary meeting.
.The new company has new vitality, which makes everyone involuntarily feel happy and excited about this success.
The performance was good. At the end of the year, GENZO made advance reservations for the venue preparations at Takanawa Prince Hotel and a celebration party for the staff. In addition, GENZO also booked a trip to Hawaii during the New Year holiday for the staff.
In Japan, where the bubble is about to burst, it is impossible to avoid Hawaii when traveling as a group.

"Crackling crackling crackling~"
While humming a song, Akina Nakamori moved her wrist skillfully, imitating the movements of B.B.QUEENS's backup dancers. She shook her wrist, not forgetting Noshika-kun next to her, and glanced at him to inspect his learning results.
result
"My body is so flexible when dancing, and my fingers are so nimble when doing origami, but why are I so stiff when doing this hand dance?" After finishing speaking, this Taopusida pretended to sigh. Originally, he wanted to act like he hates iron but cannot make steel.
Teacher, in the end, he overdid it and looked like a stupid teacher who taught his students a hundred times but still failed to teach him the lesson.
...That's because I think this hand dance is too funny.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought to himself, and simply put his hand down, "Maybe only the wrist is not flexible enough."
He spoke forcefully and Nakamori Akina couldn't help but glare at him and commented seriously, "Shinichi, if you want to find reasons, you can find thirty in no time."
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little speechless, "Even if you find three reasons, it's enough to give people a headache."
"That's true." She changed her tune quickly.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Nakamori Akina and nodded her head, as if accepting his words, so he stretched out his hand and took her hand, "Besides, of course she looks more stiff when compared to such a flexible Akina-san.
.”
Nakamori Akina smiled, turned to look at the calm face, and said to him, "Just looking at this face, I would never have imagined that he is actually such a sweet-tongued guy." She was like a shopkeeper in a shopping street, looking at Yan.
Qiao Shenyi calls him "little brother".
When she called her that, Iwahashi Shinichi blinked and imitated her words, "Just hearing these words, I would never have imagined that it was actually a compliment from Akina-san..."
Before he finished speaking, Nakamori Akina laughed loudly and fell on him. She was close to him, but she just wanted to say: "I don't think it was a compliment, so I'll take it back."
If you say it out loud, can you take it back?
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at her childishness, leaned over and touched her lips.
Nakamori Akina immediately changed her mind and showed mercy to what she had said. She looked as if she had been bribed by the kiss. She stood next to Iwahashi Shinichi and said stupidly, "Nakamori Akina-san is
He's so easy to talk to, but after being chirped by you, he changed his mind."
"It sounds like you are the narrator of Akina Nakamori-san." Shinichi Iwahashi changed his sitting position so that she could lean more comfortably.
Akina Nakamori smiled again, "Just think of it." She was free and easy.
The two of them practiced "Crack, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle~" at home. It was definitely not a small hobby for themselves when they had nothing to do. The reason why they practiced was to dance with them in the performance of "Let's Dance Together" when they participated in the Red and White Song Festival later.
However, although the Red and White Song Festival Committee made such a request, the singers who will be on both sides of the stage to support the entertainment can just make a few casual gestures. Only Akina Nakamori must be pulled to practice seriously.
In the cold winter of December, staying in a heated room and cuddling with my girlfriend couldn't be called unhappy. Iwahashi Shin put his face against hers and listened to her breathing. Every breath, every breath,
Remind him of a fluttering butterfly.
He held the butterfly gently in his arms.
At this time, I heard Akina Nakamori say to him, "... By then, Shinichi, you will definitely have to wear a hood, right?" Shinichi Iwahashi didn't wait for a reply, but continued on, "Dancing Giraffe-kun,
It's quite cute when you think about it. If there are children in the audience watching TV, they might think, 'KI日N君KAwaii~', like this."
She started talking like a child again, and after she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at him with a smile.
After hearing what she said, Iwahashi Shinichi seemed to understand more or less why she specifically asked him to learn this hand dance.
