Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 170 The Coming Year 2006

After dedicating the most shocking performance of the night, Kiyoshi Sakamoto bowed deeply to the applause that could not be subdued for a long time before walking off the stage.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who came down, had not had time to say hello to Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki who rushed to the scene, but he was pulled backstage by the organizer.

It's not about performing, but as an award presenter in the next session, to present awards to the winners of the record gold awards.

In general awards ceremonies, this trick is played, and the winners of the previous year are invited back, as the guests of the awards, to present the awards to the winners of this year.

However, unexpected situations always arise.

It's like this year's Record Awards.

Last year's gold medal winners were named Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN.

Among the songs shortlisted for the gold awards this year, the names of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN appeared again.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Letter~To You, 15 Years Old~", and THE SUN's "PLANET".

Therefore, in this way, there is a possibility that Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the winner of the previous award, will present the award to himself this year, and this possibility is still very high. . .

. . . . . .

As expected, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto held the gold award trophy and read the name of one of the gold award winners, he knew that this should be intentional by the record award organizer.

"Sakamoto Kiyoshi, "Letter~To the 15-year-old You~"."

In other words, if the winners are usually at the awards ceremony, they will go up to receive the awards themselves, but what if the winners are on the stage?Or an award presenter?
Kiyoshi Sakamoto said, I am very confused, I have never encountered such a situation, what should I do next?
A little urgent, wait online!
However, time waits for no one, Sakamoto Kiyoshi can only adapt to the situation and come up with a solution.

I saw him standing on the stage, holding the medal in one hand and the microphone in the other, and said, "Then, I invite Sakamoto Kiyosan to come on stage to accept the award."

After speaking, he moved a step to the side, and changed the microphone and medal in his hand.

Then he said, "Thank you, thank you very much for the sponsor, the Japan Composers Association and the Japan Record Awards Committee for their approval..."

Come on, Sakamoto Kiyoshi held the medal and started his acceptance speech.

As for the artists and audience in the audience, they all looked dumbfounded at first, second-faced, hundreds of people were dumbfounded, but after a while, everyone laughed.

Seeing the audience laughing, Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the stage secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, they all got my memes."

It turned out that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's series of actions on stage were all to show a stalk.

A stalk that awards itself to itself.

At the beginning of speaking, Sakamoto Kiyoshi played the role of an award presenter; after moving a step, he changed the medal and microphone in his hand, and began to give his acceptance speech.

This is from an award presenter to an award winner in an instant.

Fortunately, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's acting skills have improved a lot compared to before. Otherwise, if the effect of the performance is not so real, the audience in the audience will not be able to see that he is deliberately playing tricks.

The audience laughed, which meant that they understood Sakamoto Kiyoshi's stalk.

In this way, in a somewhat embarrassing situation, Sakamoto Kiyoshi used his superb acting skills to get past it.

"THE SUN, PLANET"

As a result, the next artist to win the gold medal was Sakamoto Kiyoshi again. . .Where is THE SUN.

When the award presenters on the stage named the winner, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had already set a new record.

He became the first singer to win the record award gold award for his solo single and group single for two consecutive years! ! !

Next, whether Kiyoshi Sakamoto can set another record and become the first solo single to win the record award for two consecutive years depends on whether the name given by the next award presenter is his own name. . .

However, this year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, although he has a single with more than 200 million, a single with more than one million, and an album with more than one million. Like last year, he won the Record Awards almost without any suspense.

Because, this year, he has a big opponent.

New generation diva, sexy diva, Kumi Koda!
In 2005, if there was such a market survey: Which male or female singer's song did you listen to the most this year?

Among the one hundred people, there must be more than forty people who said the name of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

However, among the 100 people, the one who got [-] votes and ranked second was a female singer who only became popular this year.

Koda Kumi!

Koda Kumi is not like Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who achieved great results in one fell swoop as soon as she debuted. When she debuted in 2000, she did not sing JPOP, but rhythm and blues.

In this way, she was different from several typical singers at that time, such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, etc. However, it may be because of the different styles. Under the background of JPOP, her style is naturally not accepted by the public. , causing her to not go up against the wind and become a hit.

However, it is gold, which always shines, and of course, there is the strong support of Ai Hui Records.

In 2004, after Ai Hui established her style, a "sexy and handsome" singer was gradually rising.

"Butterfly" was released in 05. The cover finally showed the "sexy and handsome" side that later became Koda's personal style. Coupled with excellent songs, it sold more than [-] sales.

In the same year, she also had her first nationwide concert tour in five years since her debut, and her first selection album "BEST～first things～" sold millions of copies!

At the end of the year, in order to further increase the popularity, the bold Ai returned to the company and came up with the unprecedented 12 bursts!

But these have made her a topic figure in 2005.

By the way, at this year's Red and White Song Festival, Koda Kumi also performed on stage, and Sakamoto Kiyane greeted her. . .

If you want to talk about who is the most memorable singer in the Japanese music scene in 2005, almost everyone in the entertainment industry is considering two names.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Kumi Koda!

Even the sudden explosion of popularity and the huge achievements made Koda Kumi and Sakamoto Kiyoshi rivals in this year's Record Awards.

. . . . . .

The 47th Japan Record Awards is coming to an end, and now there is only one top award, the Record Awards, which has not yet been decided.

According to outside media speculation, although Kiyoshi Sakamoto is likely to win the highest award for two consecutive years, but Koda will be aggressive in the future, which should not be underestimated. Anyway, whoever wins this record award is possible.

Finally, when the supporters on the stage came out with the envelopes containing the names of the winners, Kiyoshi Sakamoto found that his palms were full of sweat.

"Hmph! So I really care about winning or losing..."

Laughing at himself, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still clenched his fists, but looked at the host on the stage with a calm expression, and slowly, bit by bit, the envelope that decided who would win the record award. unblock.

At this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also glanced at Koda Kumi, who was sitting not far from him, and found that the older sister had a nervous expression on her face, and her eyes were longingly looking at the envelope held by the host on stage.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly had a bad premonition. He thought that the reason why he was asked to sing two songs at the Record Awards this year was not only because of his achievements this year, but also because of other meanings. of. . .

At this moment, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's mind was running at high speed, and he remembered a lot.

After a pause of thought, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to reality again.

He smiled wryly and muttered to himself, "So that's the case, I lost."

When he said this, the host on the stage took out a note with the name of the winner in the envelope.

"The 47th, Japan Record Awards, the highest award, the winner of the Record Awards is..."

dong dong dong dong! !
The drums before the announcement, and the spotlights in the dark, were constantly shining on the singer's side, shining back and forth, trying to match the drums and create a tense atmosphere.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who already knew the result, did not have much expectation at this time, and sat on the chair calmly, waiting for the birth of the final result.

"Kumi Koda "Butterfly"!"

"really."

Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at a spotlight in the darkness, shining on Koda Kumi who was sitting not far from him.

Although this result was deduced from various clues, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was somewhat confused after experiencing his first failure.

However, he still stood up and applauded Koda Kumi with a smile.

At this time, Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki, who were sitting on both sides of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, were afraid that Sakamoto Kiyoshi would feel sad or frustrated if he did not win the award, so they leaned towards Sakamoto Kiyoshi side by side, and then spoke to comfort them.

Ogawa really said to Sakamoto Kiyoshi with his unique calm voice, "Leader, it's okay, although the grand prize was taken away by others, but in our mind, you are the most powerful."

"Yes, Leader, don't be discouraged, you are the strongest in our Sony, you can't be depressed just because you lost once, you are a man who won the record award as soon as you debuted!"

The two didn't say "Why Sakamoto Kiyoshi's record sales are more than hers, and the popularity of songs is wider than hers, but they lost?" "There is a shady scene! We oppose it!" .

Because, they know that losing is losing, and it is not terrible to lose. What is terrible is that Kiyoshi Sakamoto will be devastated because of this failure.

However, they think too much.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi is not such a person at all. What he is most satisfied with himself is not his handsome appearance; nor his super learning ability or memory; but his ten-year life without friends, alone, A strong heart that has been tempered in disguise!

For such a small setback, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't care at all, even if he was frustrated, it was only for a moment. . .

Therefore, seeing Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki pretending to be relaxed and comforting him, he wanted to laugh, but at the same time felt very moved.

"These two guys..."

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's eye sockets seemed a little red. . .
