Chapter 269 The first appearance of red and white

After getting out of the Budokan and getting on the bus, Yoshitaka Watanabe took Kazuki Akiyama straight to the NHK performance hall in Shibuya District.

In front of them, a police car with flashing red and blue lights cleared the way for them.

The purpose, of course, is to arrive at the NHK performance hall in the shortest possible time.

Because both the Record Awards and the Red and White Song Concert are held at the same time on the last day of the end of the year.

And those who participated in the Noh Record Awards were all the most popular singers this year, and most of them were also invited by the red and white.

Many artists often delay time because they rush back and forth, so the Metropolitan Police Department ensures that the artists of the two venues can arrive at the battlefield on time.

A police car was specially arranged to clear the way, and Kazuki Akiyama enjoyed such special treatment once.

By the time they arrived at the NHK performance hall, the first half of the Kohaku Uta battle had already passed.

It was too late to say hello to the many people in the circle here, Kazuki Akiyama saw people coming along the way, whether they were familiar or unfamiliar, they all nodded in greeting.

Then I hurried into the dressing room and started changing clothes.

Because he came late, he could only regret to miss the classic part of the red and white opening where all the artists entered the venue together.

As a male solo singer, he undoubtedly belongs to the white group camp.

There are generally three hosts in the Red and White Song Club, one for each of the Red and White groups, plus one chief host.

This year's Red Team Secretary will be Hikaru Ishida, who became popular because of his appearance in "White Paper on Love".

The white group will be the old fritters Sakai Masaki in the host world, and the chief host is NHK TV announcer Miyuki Morita.

Because he missed the first half, he also missed the car accident scene of X-JAPAN who was in charge of the opening of the white team.

To be honest, Kazuki Akiyama also likes their song "TEARS" very much.

This song is a good combination of rock and classical melody, and with Toshi's high notes, it's absolutely perfect.

But it may be because I sang the dome for two days before this, and tonight on the red and white stage, the treble part still couldn't get up.

Not only can't go up, but there is also a clear sense of tearing.Seeing Toshi's painful expression on the stage, the artists at the scene couldn't help but secretly pinch for him.

So the continuous large-scale tour, although it is indeed quick to make money, but it also destroys the artist's voice very quickly.

Kazuki Akiyama, who quietly changed into the performance costume, took advantage of the dim light at the edge of the stage, and quietly came to the area where the white group singers gathered.

Artists who noticed his arrival nodded to him one after another. As a figure who has dominated the music scene this year, even if he is a rookie who has debuted for only one year, everyone cannot ignore his existence.

And Akiyama Kazuki didn't dare to neglect, and stepped forward one by one to return the salute.Especially those with super seniority and seniority, they have to say hello specially.

Saburo Hokudo, Shinji Tanimura, Masaki Sakai, Shinichi Mori, and the Haiyuan Team all came to visit one by one.

There is no way no matter how popular he is, in Japan, which pays attention to seniority, in front of these seniors, his status is naturally a head lower.

And Bei Dao Saburo, who had a relationship with him once, even took him to chat quietly.

When Kazuki Akiyama returned to the crowd, both SMAP and Fukuyama Masaharu all grinned and winked at him.

Judging from what they mean, you know that you are asking yourself if you want to get together after the party.

Kazuki Akiyama raised his eyebrows at them and winked back.They all smiled and expressed their understanding.

It's still easier to get along with young people of the same generation. You don't have to abide by etiquette, and you can joke unscrupulously.

After working alone for quite a while, Kazuki Akiyama looked up at the performance on the stage.

At the moment, Dearms Come Ture is being performed, and Miwa Yoshida, wearing a red festive costume, is singing "GO FOR IT".

Seeing her attire, Kazuki Akiyama always has the feeling of looking at the 90s, those boys with buns in rural New Year pictures.It was really festive.

However, she sang quite freely, and one could tell from the happy expression on her face that she enjoyed the stage very much.

Next, Kenichi Mikawa's gorgeous stage costumes also made Kazuki Akiyama very interested. Every year, the competition between him and Sachiko Kobayashi's costumes is also a major attraction of red and white.

And most of the time, the cost of this part of the clothing is paid by the artists themselves, and in order to separate the top and bottom, they really worked hard.

The reason why Hongbai is called Hongbai is the popularity competition between the red group and the white group, between male and female singers.

Next, the female singer sent by the red group made Ben Akiyama Kazuki's expression of high spirits suddenly dim.

Yoko Nagayama, who was wearing a bright yellow kimono, walked onto the stage slowly, with a gentle and peaceful expression.

As soon as the prelude of the song sounded, Kazuki Akiyama tightly pursed his lips.

This song is "Full Moon", one of the two works I gave her at the beginning.

Since its release in August this year, Yoko Nagayama's song has directly entered the top five of the weekly charts, and the final sales volume is close to 90 copies.

As an enka that is on the decline, it can achieve close to one million results, and it has become a well-deserved leader in the enka world this year.

What's more interesting is that Kazuki Akiyama is fighting her, the number one selling single in the enka world and the number one selling single in the pop music world.

I have to say that NHK is also really good at making troubles. If they know that Yoko Nagayama is singing this enka, and Kazuki Akiyama wrote the lyrics and composed the music, they may be able to do a little more work.

It's just a pity that the composer who is present on the screen in front of the TV is AK.KA
That's right, the first two initials of Kazuki Akiyama's name in Roman accents. Fortunately, the AKKA office is still a little transparent in the entertainment industry, otherwise it might really remind others of something.

Sitting in front of the TV with my family and watching the red and white Sakai spring water together, the corners of my mouth slightly curled up when I saw the subtitles on the screen.

"Hey sister, according to the previous announcement, the next one to appear will be that Akiyama Kazuki-san."

Minako sat beside Izumi Sakai and shook her arm excitedly.

"Hmm..." Thinking of the song that Kazuki Akiyama sang first, Izumi Sakai suddenly smiled again.

"Didn't Minako say before that he looked like some idiot, why do you seem to be looking forward to his appearance now?" Izumi Sakai teased her with a smile.

Minako snorted a little arrogantly, "Although that guy doesn't look very good, the song still sounds pretty good."

"Eh..." Izumi Sakai couldn't help laughing because it was the first time he heard someone say that Kazuki Akiyama didn't look good.

...

Enge is also called complaining song, plus the lyrics of this song, the sad tune.

Kazuki Akiyama always felt that Yoko Nagayama's eyes were full of water on the stage, and he couldn't bear to look more.

At the end of the song, Yoko Nagayama bowed and took the curtain call.When he was about to leave the stage, he slid past Kazuki Akiyama without a trace in his eyes.

The girl who once had stars in her eyes still had crooked eyebrows, but the difference is that there are a few more female melancholy in it.

Kazuki Akiyama sighed, and then walked towards the stage under the reminder of the staff.
