As soon as the evening record awards began, the list of selected newcomers for this year was announced.

Sakata Hideji and Kurada Jeriko, two hosts, sang the titles in turn, and singers selected for the newcomer awards appeared on stage one after another. Shinichi Iwahashi sat down in the audience and watched the newcomers on stage.

This year, the two bands ZARD and Bo LAN launched by GENZO were not shortlisted. To be precise, the company did not sign up for the newcomer awards for the two bands to participate in the Grand Prix.

Shinichi Iwahashi doesn’t pay much attention to the newcomer awards. Because the selection criteria are different, the various newcomer awards set up by various TV stations have to comprehensively consider the power of the firms and record companies behind the singers, and often select strange newcomers. Besides, when they debut, they are eye-catching, and there are countless newcomers who disappear afterwards. The newcomer awards are not of high value.

In particular, we still need to play steadily. The goal is to develop a long-term band. It doesn’t matter whether they win the newcomer award when they debut.

He asked ZARD to win the Newcomer Award at the FNS Ballad Festival because the band debuted after singing the theme song of Yuejiu TV series. Rather than asking the band to win a Newcomer Award, it was better to take this opportunity to show kindness to Fuji TV.

He debuted on the theme song of Fuji TV and won the Fuji TV Newcomer Award. In the future, he also asked Fuji TV to take care of him - that's what it means.

Since ZARD won the FNS Ballad Festival Newcomer Award, it will no longer give them newcomers to register for the Grand Prix. As for BoLAN, the band's debut singles are sales in a regular manner, and newcomers to register for the Newcomer Award is not a shortlist, but this score is definitely not qualified to win the Best Newcomer Award, so that is meaningless.

That’s right, among the newcomers awards, the most important thing is to select the “best newcomers award” from the newcomers awards.

This year's best newcomer award is booked with a female singer Ma Ria, a Brazilian-born Japanese singer.

This Shinichi Iwahashi has an impression of her, because like Sakamoto Tomi, she is both a disciple of the Natsumata Seal. After Sakamoto Tomi debuted, the girl who was responsible for driving the Natsumata Seal was replaced by Mahia.

After all, the relationship between the two is pretty good. Even if you look at Ma Hina's eyebrows and eyes carefully, there is a subtle similarity with Sakamoto Toshimi. If you have a Naota official seal, you prefer this one.

However, Ma Ria is not a singer, she sang a ballad. As an inner disciple, her debut song was also organized by her teacher Natsumata official seal. Her debut songs sold for more than 1,000 in the first week, from January to November, and it had already reached 180,000 at the end of the annual chart.

The sales of songs and ballads in the first week are often not very good, but they are wear-resistant. As long as the quality of the song is excellent, it can go from one thousand to one million. This is a trend that is difficult for popular songs to have.

The newcomer who sold 180,000 copies of debut songs is also his favorite disciple of Natsumata's official seal. Naturally, she is the best newcomer reward.

...

The Record Awards of the Wudang Hall are held for a while, and the Red and White Song Festival in the NHK Hall is about to begin.

The distance from the NHK hall in Shibuya to the Budokan in Chiyoda District is not short. Considering the traffic conditions, the singers who traveled between the two places this evening did a lot of hard work.

Communication is also made in advance between the two programs, and when arranging the performance sequence, the singers will be given time to run.

The appearance order of DREAMS E T-Breast E is arranged in the second half. We could have participated directly in the live broadcast of the Record Awards, but considering that we should leave time to connect with Shinichi Iwahashi, we deliberately waited until the live broadcast of the Awards began. Miwa-chan and Nakamura were just about to set off and go to the martial arts hall.

When they came over, Shinichi Iwahashi almost received the prize. At that time, people on both sides would meet in the parking lot.

This year's Red and White Song Festival will be held by the Red Group, and the singer who will be the opening is the veteran singer of the Showa era Shigeko Oi. This old predecessor who became famous in the 1950s is an absolute veteran.

That night, the song "Jun's Name" (your name) she sang was sold for more than two million copies. When this song was released, it took 30 years for the CD media to appear, and I don't know where the current O-day list is.

Therefore, although it was a big shot who would bow and bow whenever the industry insiders were present, for the audience sitting in front of the TV, they probably knew who she was, and they were older and old ladies.

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

The Red and White Song Festival in the first year of Heisei was left with considerable amount of space for representative stars of the Showa era.

This year's Red and White Song Festival performance lineup, popular singers, evergreens in the music industry, limited comebacks, former big stars, old seniors who were popular in the 1950s... all kinds of local singers are available.

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

There is also Tan Yonglin from Xiangjiang.

Zhao Rongbi and Gui Yinshu are both singers who have appeared in the Red and White Song Festival more than once. However, Tan Yonglin, although he has gained much experience in Xiangjiang, is a very new face for Japan, and there are no songs that are famous in Japan this year.

The reason 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 the "Asian Song Festival", so naturally, he turned his attention to Tan Yonglin, the top star in Xiangjiang.

However, there were many oppositions to the idea of ​​"Asian Ballad Festival" in the station. Later, due to changes in the TV station staff, the senior executives who advocated the reform were transferred and left in vain.

Having said that, the "Asian Song Festival" was broadcast on his New Year's Eve. This idea shows that today's Japanese have expanded to the extreme.

The opening singers brought out by the Hong Group are the old senior Shigeko Oi and the person who always salutes Kitashima Saburo when he sees them. Naturally, no one dares to fight against her. Those who play against her are either the same generation or the predecessors.

So, after singing "Your Name", which is already unfamiliar to younger people, the song was sent by Shiratsu Group, who was seventy years old and fifty years old, and was even more qualified than Shigeko Oi and even more unfamiliar with Yoshio Tadabashi.

The production team of the Hongbai Song Club was complacent and thought they were well prepared, but they didn't know that when they saw Shigeko Oi's strange face at the opening, the audience was already bored when they heard her singing outdated songs.

What is this?

When the white-haired Yoshio Tadaru stood up, the audience could no longer bear it and started changing the channels.

...

"Let's watch this year's record award first."

The family of four sat in front of the TV, and when her husband urged her wife to change the station quickly, the couple was middle-aged, and their children were in adolescence, and no one was interested in those old characters.

People in the industry want to give way to their predecessors, but the public never takes that kind of thing.

"So boring, so boring." The daughter also complained repeatedly, "Who wants to watch such a boring show."

The wife and son who didn't speak were the same thing in their hearts.

It has been a long time ago and is almost something from another world. It should be put into the museum instead of moving it to TV to let everyone watch such an old show on New Year's Eve.

When I switched to TBS TV, the popular female idol Shizuka Kudo is being broadcasted. On one side is an old boring show, and on the other side is a fashionable idol performing. It goes without saying which one has the upper hand.

The husband and son both showed great interest in Shizuka Kudo on the TV, and their daughter also looked eager.

Only when she is a wife, she doesn't like Kudo Shizuka, a girl who has become famous in the Kitten Club era, is a bit disappointing. She looks at her husband and son, and then at her daughter, and thinks quietly that her daughter Kako is a good girl.

Kudo Shizuka lost to Chang Takao last year and failed to get the Grand Prize. This year, although her momentum has not diminished, she still has popular singles in the top ten of the annual charts and was also selected for the Golden Prize. However, the most important Grand Prize is clearly not suitable for her.

After the gorgeous and gorgeous stage performance, Kudo Shizuka walked off the stage and hurriedly left the venue under the guidance of the staff, preparing to head to the NHK Hall.

Then, two hosts, one man and one woman, stood in the middle of the stage again.

"What will be awarded next is the planning award for this year." Host Hideji Sakatoshi announced.

The wife sitting in front of the TV felt aroused in her heart. The feeling of disappointment just now had been thrown out of the sky. When she heard the project reward, a name immediately appeared in her mind.

...It must be Iwaqiao SAMA!!

"The performance just now should have ended, right? Let's change it back to NHK to see." When my husband was not interested in this award awarded to the person behind the scenes, he directed his wife to change the channel.

But the wife held the remote control tightly, "It's okay to see."

"What's so good about this?" When the husband felt bored, he casually glanced at the TV.

In the TV screen, the female host Kumada Zhiriko reported to the winner of this year's project award, "...Shichisam Iwahashi!"

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

He is tall, tall, with a straight and tough face, and his every move is capable and neat.

"I finally saw it!" The wife couldn't help but cheer in a low voice.

The producer of Iwaqiao refused to show up even the special program prepared by "THE BEST TEN" for his project, and finally came to the stage.

Real people are so young, more attractive than the photos on the show and magazines.

When my husband rolled his eyes, he was speechless. It would be fine if he chased a male actor, but now he has reached the level of pursuit of even a slightly more upright music producer?

No wonder she is even more enthusiastic about buying records recently than she used to do.

He looked at the producer of the Rock Bridge who walked onto the stage with a little bored boringly, withdrew his gaze and looked at his daughter, with an expression that had nothing to do with her. I guess his son also had an expression of impatientness...

Not that.

As a son, he looked admiring at the TV.

They are both liked by their wives and admired by their sons. Generally speaking, the star-chasing tastes of sons and mothers should be the opposite, right?

When the husband coughed, "Who is this producer of Rock Bridge?"

Unexpectedly, the answer to him was not the cheering wife, but the son. The teenager was serious and serious, "He is a very amazing person."

...

Shinichi Iwahashi came to receive the project award as a producer, and the people sitting next to him were all men in black behind the scenes of the industry. Everyone knew that he was here to receive the award, and the staff arranged the seats on the side of the aisle for him.

It is convenient for you to go on stage to receive the award, and it is also convenient for you to run away directly after receiving the award.

On the stage, the female host reported his name. Shinichi Iwahashi stood up, shook hands with the person sitting next to him, accepted the other party's "congratulations" compliments, and walked forward.

This is the first time Shin Iwahashi appeared on TV on the first and for the first time as a producer. In a sense, the record awards tonight were also the stage for him to "first appearance".

He walked on stage and took the award certificate for the project award from the composer Hattori Katsura Hattori from the member of the Awards Development Association.

Hattori Katsuhiro came from a musical family. His father was Ryoichi Hattori, the composer of "Suzhou Nocturne", and his son Hattori Takayuki also debuted as a musician last year. Hattori Takayuki himself also served as the president of the Arranger Association.

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

Shinichi Iwahashi lowered his head and thanked him, "I thank you for coming to present me with the award." After taking the certificate, Hattori Katsuhiro left the venue and he stood next to the host.

The male host Hideji Sakatoki reached out to him.

Although it was the first time that the man in black behind the scenes appeared publicly on TV, there was no need to show more in front of the stage. Shinichi Iwahashi and the host nodded slightly to thank him and began his brief award-winning speech.

"I am honored." Shinichi Iwahashi spoke. "Thank you to the support of all parties and the excellent performance of the singers involved in the project. Thanks to you, you can get this project reward. Please take care of it in the future."

He finished his speech in one go. With 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 was going down again, and the next award was the composition award.

Shinichi Iwahashi was busy changing his vests, not paying attention to the award presentation in the venue. Under the guidance of the staff, he left the venue directly. The record company staff who accompanied him to receive the award were waiting there to respond.

The staff received the person, and Shin Iwahashi also handed over the certificate, and the two walked towards the parking lot together.

Tonight, the Red and White Song Festival and the Record Awards were held. The singers who came to participate were traveling around and changing clothes in the car were normal. Therefore, the industry was united and communicated with the media. It was not allowed to take secret photos and materials near the Awards on this day.

Shinichi Iwahashi and the staff got on the bus first. The car was prepared for the clothes that the giraffe man would wear after a while, so he changed it in the car, but the heads were on Miwa-chan and Nakamura's brother.

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

Then, Shinichi Iwahashi, the man in black who had just left the martial arts hall, mixed in with DREAMS E and returned to the scene of the crime.

This time, he followed Miwa-chan and Nakamura brother to the area where the singers were.

After the arrangement award, it was DREAMS E T-breast E's turn to sing their gold medal song "Eyes to me" this year.
Chapter completed!
