Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 226

Enka singer Takashi Hosokawa set records in 1982 and 1983, and won the Grand Prix for the first time in history. However, this newly released record was quickly leveled. The idol-born Akina Nakamori, in In the following 1985 and 1986, he also won the grand prize for two consecutive years.

Marked by female idols' unprecedented two consecutive championships, Enka's momentum in the record market has also begun to decline.

In the 80s, a variety of music styles emerged one after another, and after the Plaza Accord in 1985, even the downturn of the previous oil crisis has become a thing of the past, and what is in front of us is only the golden age of luxury and luxury.

For the general public, they still prefer pretty idols, city pop that is suitable for listening to while driving, new music that the middle class loves, and dance music that became popular under the disco boom, compared to old enka.

This year, Nakamori Akina's momentum is still going strong, and she is still riding the dust. According to the selection criteria of the Record Awards, she won the Grand Award again, which is a matter of course in terms of the results she has achieved.

This time, if she succeeds, she will create an unprecedented three consecutive record awards.

How powerful is the significance of the three in a row?

Now that the momentum of the enka school is declining, Takashi Hosokawa's record of two consecutive victories is likely to become the best performance ever created by an enka singer in the awards, and once the record of three consecutive victories is won, unless there is another phenomenal long-term success in the future The popular singer, otherwise it is very likely to remain, and no one can break it.

In that way, the record of Akina Nakamori will be recorded in the history of music.

For the Enka school, which advertises itself as the big brother in the music industry, it is probably unacceptable for an idol, or a female idol, to create such an unprecedented record.

Although when it comes to these, it is inevitable to involve some issues about women's rights, but in reality, this is the case. The entire Japanese society is such a male-dominated society, and men decide what should be given to women.

When Watanabe Wanyumi mentioned the profession of idols, she said more than once that idols were born in Japan and developed such an ecology because of the low status of women in Japan.

Because of this kind of thinking, from the very beginning, these bigwigs in the enka world excluded Akina Nakamori, and would rather regard a guy like Masahiko Kondo with an office behind him as an enemy.

However, as long as Nakamori Hexagonal Warrior Akina is out, anyone with eyes will feel that the grand prize should be awarded to her.

For the general public, the rules that exist around them must be obeyed, but the rules of the distant entertainment industry have nothing to do with them. They will not think about how female stars can break records, they will only feel that an unprecedented record has been born. excited.

If Akina Nakamori, the hexagon fighter, attended the grand prize, but returned empty-handed against the public's expectations, and the public's eyes are not blind, they must know that something is tricky.

Therefore, in order not to cause public outrage, or to make the awards more logical, in order to solve this problem, there is only one way: let Akina Nakamori not participate.

At this time, Ohashi Yukio said again: "Nakamori-san is the favorite to win the grand prize. This is indeed a fact that cannot be changed. Iwahashi-kun is right. Not only do we think so, Johnny also thinks so. "

This group of people hide half of what they say, and if you want to know the true meaning of what they say, you have to use your brain to think.The same is true of Yukio Ohashi's words. The special mention of Johnny is just to point out a problem.

If Akina Nakamori were to attend the grand prize, no one would be more qualified than her to win the award. Others can be sure that they would accompany the runners and stand aside, Hiroshi Itsuki would stand aside, and Masahiko Kondo would stand as far away as possible.

However, if Akina Nakamori withdrew, everyone would not be such a stable and righteous person, so it doesn't matter if they start fighting, there is more or less a fig leaf there.It's like when the prince dies, the princes feel that it will be their turn.

None of us is orthodox, so we each rely on our own abilities.

But compared to Hiroshi Itsuki, who has better grades, it should be Johnny who hopes that Akina Nakamori will withdraw from the grand prize.

Masahiko Kondo, who has been planning to release records since the beginning of the year, is probably bound to win the grand prize. For this reason, the first thing to get rid of is his girlfriend.

Therefore, there is no need for people from Enka to take action, as long as they wait and see what happens, Johnny's side will first find a way to solve this favorite to win the championship on the table.It is also because of this self-confidence that when the enka bigwigs mentioned this matter, they completely ignored Akina Nakamori, predicting that she was absolutely impossible.

Let Nakamori Akina withdraw through Johnny's hand, and Hiroshi Itsuki will be the big winner then.Johnny has a back door, and Hiroshi Wuki is not just a soft persimmon pinched by others.

Johnny wants to go through the back door for an idol who is running on the road of passing gas, and behind the enka singer are the Composers Association and Yakudo.As far as performance alone is concerned, Wu Muhong is obviously the one who has a better chance of winning.

Neither side is good.

In comparison, Akina Nakamori is much purer.

Thinking of this, Yanqiao Shinichi stopped talking.An Jing turned into a spectator, listening to the big guys talking.During the period, he went to see Wanyumi Watanabe calmly. She also smiled politely and hardly interrupted, just listening silently.

The topic changed from the record awards to other things.

While talking, Masako Mori came over to exchange tea.Although there is nothing wrong with the hostess organizing the party, Yanqiao Shinichi always felt a little embarrassed to ask the pregnant woman to serve him tea and water.

Masako Mori seemed to feel his kindness, and nodded slightly at him, expressing his gratitude with his eyes.

Shinichi Mori praised the program produced by Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe in front of his wife, "My wife, don't look at it like this, she likes the band Tianguo very much, and she will record it on a VCR to watch during the day, and she is quite enthusiastic."

As soon as Mori Jin mentioned this, he smiled and said: "I also said that she uses rock music to give prenatal education to children."

"Hahaha!" All the enka bigwigs present laughed.

Masako Mori asked her husband to reveal the truth in front of everyone, a little embarrassed, and turned to praise Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe, "The two have produced a very good program."

Her brows and eyes are gentle, giving people a very close feeling.After retiring and becoming a housewife, the original light on the stage faded, but it didn't just fade away, but gave out a new light.

Added to this is a motherly stillness.

That might be an odd description, since she was a mother-to-be.However, in Iwahashi Shinichi's view, Masako Mori like this makes people feel that it would not be a bad thing to have a sister or mother like her.
