Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 820 820. Debut
As soon as the evening record awards kicked off, the nominees for this year's newcomer awards were first announced.

Bando Eiji and Kusudaeda Riko, the two hosts rolled their names one by one, and the singers selected for the Newcomer Award took the stage one by one.Yanqiao Shinichi sat under the stage, watching the newcomers on stage.

This year, the two bands ZARD and BOLAN launched by GENZO were not shortlisted.To be precise, the company did not register the two bands for the newcomer awards.

Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't pay much attention to the newcomer award. The various newcomer awards established by various TV stations, because the selection criteria are different, and the power of the singer's agency and record company must be considered comprehensively, and strange newcomers are often selected.Besides, there are countless rookies who made their debut but disappeared afterwards. The rookie award does not have a high gold content.

Especially for bands that need to play steadily and aim for long-term development, it doesn't matter whether they win the rookie award or not when they debut.

He asked ZARD to win the Newcomer Award at the FNS Music Festival because the band sang the theme song of the TV series on September [-] and debuted.Rather than asking the band to receive a newcomer award, it is better to take this opportunity to show favor with Fuji TV.

I made my debut singing the theme song of a TV series on Fuji TV, and won the Newcomer Award from Fuji TV. I will also ask Fuji TV to take care of me in the future. - That's what it means.

Since ZARD won the Newcomer Award at the FNS Music Festival, they will no longer be given the Newcomer Award for the Daesang Awards.As for BOLAN, the sales volume of the band's debut single is regular, and it is not impossible to be shortlisted for the newcomer award, but this result is definitely not qualified for the best newcomer award, so it is meaningless.

That's right, among the newcomer awards in the Daesang Awards, the most important thing is to select the "Best Newcomer Award" from among the nominees for the Newcomer Award.

This year's Most Outstanding Newcomer Award is reserved for the Brazilian-Japanese female singer Marcia.

This Yanqiao Shinichi has an impression of her, because she, like Sakamoto Fuyumi, is an inner disciple of Inomata Kosho.After Sakamoto Fuyumi's debut, the little girl who was responsible for carrying the bag and driving for Inomata's official seal was replaced by Marcia.

After all, they are sisters of the same sect, and the relationship between the two is not bad.Even, carefully looking at Marcia's eyebrows and eyes, there is a subtle similarity with Sakamoto Fuyumi, and there is a kind of Inomata official seal that prefers this one.

However, Marcia is not an enka singer, she sings ballads.As an inner disciple, the debut song was also organized by the teacher Inomata Kosho. The debut song sold more than 1000 copies in the first week. From January to November, it sold steadily for a year. By the end of the annual list, it had reached 18 copies.

For enka and ballads, the sales in the first week are often not very good, but they are durable.As long as the quality of the song is excellent, it can be ground from one thousand to one million.This is a trend that pop songs rarely have.

The rookie who sold 18 copies of her debut song is also Inomata Kosho's beloved student. She is naturally the best rookie award.

……

The record awards at the Budokan are not long here, and the red and white singing concert at the NHK lobby is about to begin.

From the NHK hall in Shibuya to the Budokan in Chiyoda, this distance is not short.Considering the traffic situation, the singers who traveled between the two places tonight really worked very hard.

Communication between the two programs is also done in advance, and when arranging the sequence of performances, give the singers time to run around.

DREAMS COME TRUE's appearance order is arranged in the second half, and they could have directly participated in the live broadcast of the Record Awards. However, considering the time to meet with Shinichi Iwahashi in the middle, they deliberately waited until the live broadcast of the awards began. Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san Just about to get ready to go, to the Budokan.

When they passed by, Yanqiao Shinichi almost finished receiving the prize and came out.At that time, people from both sides will meet in the parking lot.

This year's Hongbai Song Festival will be opened by the red group, and the singer who served as the opening singer is the veteran singer of the Showa era, Oi Moko.This one became famous in the 50s and is an out-and-out old-timer.

This night, the song "Junの名は" (Your Name) she sang sold more than 200 million copies.When this song was released, it would take 30 years for the CD medium to appear, and the current ORICON list is still unknown.

Therefore, even though she is a big shot who always bows and salutes when they meet each other in the industry, to the audience sitting in front of the TV, who knows who she is, it is probably an elderly old man and old lady.

Shigeko Ori has faded out for many years, and now she is showing up again, naturally because the Showa era has ended, and as a representative singer of the Showa era, she received an invitation to come out again.

In the first year of Heisei's Hongbai Song Festival, a considerable amount of space was reserved for the representative stars of the Showa era.

The lineup of this year's Red and White Song Concert includes popular singers, evergreens in the music industry, former big stars who made a limited comeback, old-timers who were all the rage in the 50s... local singers have everything you expect.

In addition, there are Zhao Yongpil, Gui Yinshu and Jinlianzi from South Korea.

There is also Tan Yonglin from Xiangjiang.

Both Cho Yong Pil and Gye Eun Sook have appeared in the Red and White Song Concert more than once.On the other hand, Tan Yonglin, although he has a lot of experience in Xiangjiang, is completely new to the Japanese, and there is no famous song in Japan this year.

The reason why he was invited was because NHK TV originally planned to cancel the Red and White Song Festival from this year and change the program to "Asia Song Festival", so naturally, it turned its attention to Tan Yonglin, the top star in Hong Kong.

However, the idea of ​​this "Asian Song Festival" originally had a lot of opposition in the station. Later, due to the change of the station's personnel, the high-level executives who advocated restructuring were transferred away, so it was nothing.

Having said that, the idea of ​​broadcasting the "Asia Song Festival" on my own New Year's Eve shows that the Japanese people today have grown to the extreme.

The opening singer brought out by the red group is the old senior Ori Moko, and Kitajima Saburo who will salute when they meet. Naturally, no one of the juniors dares to fight her. Those who fight against her are either peers or seniors.

So, after singing the song "Your Name", which is already very unfamiliar to younger people, the person sent by the white group is 70 years old and has 50 years of debut, even more senior than Shigeko Ori , and the stranger Yoshio Tabata.

The production team of the Red and White Song Club was complacent and thought they had prepared well, but they didn't know that the audience who saw Moko Ori's unfamiliar face and heard her singing outdated songs at the beginning felt bored.

what is this?
When the gray-haired Yoshio Tabata stood up, the audience couldn't bear it anymore and began to switch channels.

……

"Let's watch this year's Record Awards first."

A family of four sitting in front of the TV, the husband urged the wife to change the channel quickly.The husband and wife are both middle-aged, and their son and daughter are in their adolescence, and neither of them is interested in those old-fashioned characters.

People in the industry want to give way to their predecessors, but the public has never accepted that.

"It's so boring, so boring." The daughter also complained, "Who wants to watch such a boring program."

The wife and son who didn't speak had the same thing in their minds.

Things that have been outdated for a long time, almost from another world, should be kept in museums instead of being moved to TV and let everyone watch such old programs on New Year's Eve.

Switching to TBS TV station, on the screen, the performance of the popular female idol Shizuka Kudo is being broadcast.There are old-fashioned boring shows on one side, and trendy idols on the other. It is self-evident which one has the upper hand.

Both the husband and son showed great interest in Shizuka Kudo on TV, and the daughter also looked forward to it.

Only the wives don't like Kudo Shizuka, a female A Fei who has been famous in the kitten club era, which is a bit disappointing.Looking at her husband and son, and then at her daughter, she secretly thought, fortunately, her daughter Jiazi is a good girl.

Shizuka Kudo lost to Take Nagabuchi last year and failed to win the grand prize.This year, although her momentum has not diminished from last year, her hit singles still entered the top ten of the year's charts, and she was also selected for the gold award of the Grand Awards, but she clearly missed the most important awards.

At the end of the chic and gorgeous stage performance, Shizuka Kudo stepped off the stage, and under the guidance of the staff, she left in a hurry, preparing to go to the NHK hall.

Then, two hosts, one male and one female, stood in the middle of the stage again.

"The next thing to be awarded is this year's planning award." The host Bando Eiji announced.

The wife sitting in front of the TV was moved, the feeling of disappointment just now had been thrown out of the sky, and when she heard about the project reward, a name immediately appeared in her mind.

...It must be Iwahashi SAMA! !
"The performance just now should be over, right? Switch back to NHK to watch." The husband was not interested in this kind of award for behind-the-scenes people, so he directed his wife to change the channel.

The wife gripped the remote control tightly, "It's okay to have a look."

"What's so interesting about this?" The husband felt bored and stared at the TV casually.

On the TV screen, the hostess Kusudaeda Riko announced the winner of this year's project award, "... Shinichi-san Iwahashi!"

As the host's voice fell, the camera turned to the audience and pointed somewhere.A young man stood up from his seat, shook hands with the person sitting next to him, and walked towards the stage.

Tall, tall and straight, with a straight and tough face, his gestures are capable and neat.

"I finally saw it!" My wife couldn't help cheering in a low voice.

The rock bridge producer, who refused to even appear in the special program prepared by "THE BEST TEN" for his project, finally came to the stage.

The real person turned out to be so young, more attractive than the photos in the program and magazines.

The husband rolled his eyes and was speechless.It's okay to chase after male actors in normal times, but now it's to the point where even a little more decent music producer wants to pursue it?
No wonder she is even more enthusiastic about buying records recently than in the past.

He looked a little bored at the rock bridge producer who came up to the stage, looked away, and looked at his daughter with an expression that had nothing to do with her.It is estimated that the son also has an impatient expression...

Not like that.

As a son, he looked at the TV with a look of admiration.

Loved by his wife and admired by his son.Under normal circumstances, the star-chasing tastes of sons and mothers should be just the opposite, right?
When the husband coughed, "What is the origin of this rock bridge producer?"

Unexpectedly, it was not the enthusiastic and cheering wife who answered him, but his son.The ten-year-old boy is serious, "He is a very remarkable person."

……

Yanqiao Shinichi came to receive the project award as a producer, and the people sitting next to him were all behind-the-scenes people in the industry.Everyone knew that he was here to receive the award, and the staff arranged for him a seat by the side of the aisle.

It is not only convenient to go to the stage to receive the award, but also convenient to run away after receiving the award.

On the stage, the hostess announced his name.Iwahashi Shinichi stood up, shook hands with the person sitting next to him, accepted the compliment of "Congratulations", and stepped forward.

This is the first time Iwahashi Shinichi has made public appearances on TV, and it is also the first time he has accepted the award as a producer.In a sense, tonight's Record Awards is also the stage for his "first appearance".

He stepped onto the stage and received the award certificate for the planning award from composer Hattori Katsuhisa, a member of the Grand Award Formulation Association.

Katsuhisa Hattori was born in a family of musicians. His father was Ryoichi Hattori, the composer of "Suzhou Nocturne". His son Takayuki Hattori also debuted as a musician last year.Hattori Katsuhisa himself is also the president of the Composer Association.

"Congratulations, Iwahashi-kun." Hattori Katsuhisa greeted politely.

Shinichi Iwahashi bowed his head in thanks, "Thank you for coming to present the award to me." After receiving the award, Katsuhisa Hattori left the stage, and he stood beside the host.

The host, Eiji Bando, put the microphone in front of him.

Although it was the first time for the man in black behind the scenes to appear publicly on TV, he was a man in black behind the scenes who didn't need to show much in front of the stage.Iwahashi Shinichi and the host nodded their thanks lightly, and began his short award speech.

"It's an honor." Yanqiao Shenyi said. "Thanks to the support of all parties, and the outstanding performance of the singers who participated in the project. Thanks to everyone, I can receive this project award. In the future, please take care of me."

He finished his speech in one go.Amid the applause from the audience and the host's polite thanks, he walked off the stage calmly.At this time, the camera had already left him, and the progress on the stage continued down again, and the composition award was presented next.

Yanqiao Shenyi was busy changing his vest, he didn't pay attention to the award presentation situation in the venue, and left the venue directly under the guidance of the staff, and the staff of the record company who accompanied him to receive the award were already there waiting to respond.

The staff received the person, and Yanqiao Shen handed over the certificate, and the two walked towards the parking lot together.

Tonight, the Red and White Song Concert and the Record Awards will be held at the same time. It is normal for the singers who come to participate to travel around and change clothes in the car. Therefore, the industry is united and communicated with the media. This day is not allowed to be near the awards. Candid shots.

Iwahashi Shinichi and the staff boarded the car first.The clothes that the giraffe man will wear later were prepared in the car, and he changed in the car, but the headgear was on Mihe-chan and Nakamura-san.

After a while, the staff's pager rang, and Shinichi Iwahashi went to meet his two teammates.

Then, Shinichi Iwahashi, the man in black behind the scene who had just left the Budokan, got mixed up in DREAMS COME TRUE and returned to the scene of the crime.

This time, he followed Mihe-chan and Nakamura-san to sit in the area where the singers were.

After the arrangement award was presented, it was the turn of DREAMS COME TRUE to take the stage and sing their gold award song "Eyes to me" this year.
