Chapter 251 The Red and White Incident
On the last day of 2006, at the Red and White Song Concert known as the "Japanese version of the Spring Festival Gala", a scandal that shocked the whole country appeared!

The process of this scandal, which is called the "2006 Red and White Incident" by later generations, is like this.

At 2006:12 pm on December 31, 10, that is, in the second half of the Red and White Song Concert, DJ OZMA, the singer of the White Team, suddenly threw away Outer coat and pants, only a pair of ultra-small shorts with male genitalia painted on the whole body.

At the same time, among the 51 dancers behind him, more than half of them are women, and they all shake off the golden windbreakers covering their bodies in a uniform movement; under the spotlight on the stage, all the dancers are topless , wearing only narrow underwear on the lower body, suddenly the entire red and white stage was filled with flesh-colored, turbulent waves, as if a stunned celestial movement was staged.

Moreover, Hongbai was still live broadcasting at that time. . .

This is also the reason why the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi in the lounge were all stunned when they saw this scene.

Because it was too unexpected, the host and the audience were stunned and had no time to react.

And DJ OZMA and his backup dancers calmly finished the show. . .

This sudden scene, whether it was the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi sitting in the lounge, the audience watching the performance on the spot, or the audience watching the "New Year's Eve Party" with their families at home, was full of excitement. In an instant, the brain went blank.

Since the Red and White Song Club was broadcast live, this scene was exposed in front of audiences all over Japan without any cover, and the whole country was in an uproar.

After that, in a very short period of time, NHK TV's complaint calls were blown up, and countless viewers were angry, why did such a program appear, on occasions like the Red and White Song Festival, and questioned if it was seen by children, What will be the impact.

This caused Mino Miyake, one of the hosts of the night, to interrupt the show after 10 minutes and apologize to the audience.

In Miyake's explanation, it's all DJ OZMA's fault.

During the discourse, talking about DJ OZMA's performance is purely self-assessment.

He also quibbled, saying, "During the rehearsal, after his backup dancer threw off the windbreaker, what was inside was a bikini swimsuit, not nothing." Yunyun. . .

The lame explanation still couldn't appease the anger of the audience.

From the first day of 2007, the headlines of major news magazines and newspapers were all angry at NHK and DJ OZMA. It can be seen that the public does not buy NHK's explanation. . .

However, in any case, this unexpected event made NHK reluctantly become the protagonist of the top news of the new year.

And the "Wonderful Collaboration of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Arashi" that had occupied a certain amount of space that night, or "The debut of the popular limited group "ARASHIYO" in red and white", were also robbed of the headlines and the public's attention by this sudden incident.

Regarding this, Johnny, who originally wanted Lan to go further, also cursed in his heart the instigator, DJ OZMA who "made his own way".

As for the fact that DJ OZMA is self-assertive, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has a different opinion.

He doesn't think that all of this is DJ OZMA's own assertion.

You know, what kind of stage will Hongbai Song be?
However, the historical ratings exceeded 80.00%, and in recent years the ratings have hovered around 40.00%. Among all TV programs in the country, the "Japanese Spring Festival Gala" has the highest ratings! ! !
Moreover, the sponsor is the national TV station NHK, which adds some seriousness.

The status of red and white determines the nature of its stage. It is cautious and stable. It does not seek merit but seeks no faults. This is the idea in the hearts of all program personnel every year.

However, no matter how good-looking a show is, after nearly 50 sessions, there will be aesthetic fatigue.

Last year, the ratings fell below the lowest point in history, with only about 40.00% of red and white. It may also be because of this, and some different voices appeared internally. These "reformists" tried to use some explosive news to stimulate it. Declining ratings.

Such possibility is not non-existent.

Moreover, such a New Year's Eve party hosted by the national TV station and watched by more than one-third of the people in the country, it is impossible to let a program like DJ OZMA pass by so easily.

It will be discovered as early as the rehearsal.

In this way, there is only one possibility.

That is, all of this is NHK TV station. In order to make big news and increase the ratings, they wrote and directed such a good show at the end of the year!
And it just so happened that DJ OZMA, who was a bit weak, became the scapegoat. . .

But all of this is Sakamoto Kiyoshi's personal thoughts, and there is no evidence to prove it.

He hoped he was wrong.

After all, in such a matter, it is meaningless to argue who is right and who is wrong. It just exposes the dark side of this circle. . .

And as a person in this circle, he doesn't want the public to think that he is also that kind of dark person.

Although he also has dark times.

However, regarding this "year-end farce", many people believe that such an "episode" is not completely bad news for NHK.

At least, such an "accident" may bring back some people's interest, maybe it does.

Judging from the results of the competition, the audience didn't seem to care too much about the negative impact of this incident. The white team where DJ OZMA is located still won the red-white duel, thus making the white team top in the total number of rounds , leading the red group with 29:28.

Moreover, judging from the highest ratings of the night, the moment when it soared all the way to 40.00% five was exactly the few minutes of DJ OZMA's "celestial body movement".

Even the ratings for the few minutes of SMAP's appearance were slightly inferior. . .

It is conceivable that this incident was explosive.

This can be regarded as a "good" start for NHK TV in the new year. . .

At least attracting the attention of the public is already a very successful operation. As for the complaint calls and letters from all over the country, what are these?Can I eat it?Can it increase ratings?

No.

. . . . . .

After spending a somewhat special red and white song meeting, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi went back to their respective homes and looked for their respective mothers.

Compared with Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki, whose family members are in Sakamoto Kiyoshi in Tokyo, they don’t have to fly back to Nagasaki overnight as before for the New Year’s Eve. Instead, they can return home early to spend the last day of 2006 with their families. . . .

In this way, Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki both had the idea of ​​buying a house and letting their families come to Tokyo.

It is not difficult for Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki to buy a house in Tokyo, where land is very expensive.

After all, the two of them didn't know how much they had earned since their debut two years ago. . .

Compared with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a humanoid cash cow, the other two members of THE SUN band can be regarded as money-absorbing weapons.

Not to mention, only Sakamoto Kiyoshi can get the music copyright fee, and the record income shared equally has already made the two of them extremely rich.

In the past two years, THE SUN band has released two singles and one album, with a total sales volume of more than 620 million copies! ! !

Both of THE SUN's income in the past two years can be ranked in the top ten of the singer's annual income list.

And the number one, without a doubt, is Kiyoshi Sakamoto. . .

Although the general public does not know the specific figures, it does not prevent them from guessing the income of artists through various data and information, and then making an annual income ranking list for these high-income artists.

You know, Japanese artists' income mainly comes from advertising endorsements, and catwalks, etc.; while singers' income mainly comes from copyright fees.

This is why Sakamoto Kiyoshi will be ranked No. 1 in the singer's income list.

After all, since his debut, most of his singles and album songs, as well as THE SUN band, have been written and composed by him, and even arranged by him. . .

As for Xiao Chuanzhen, as a resident guest of variety shows, he also often appears in major variety shows. Although the announcement fee is not much, it is not too small after a year; there are also many advertisers who are interested in him. The super popularity and influence of the band THE SUN, coupled with his personal handsomeness and vicious tongue, so they all came to him to speak for him.

In the past year, he was second only to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Tomohisa Yamashita, Takuya Kimura and other advertisers' favorite endorsers.

Coupled with some miscellaneous income, Ogawa's income in the past year has reached an astonishing [-] million yen! ! !
As for Chiba Masaki, although he was under Akimoto Yasushi throughout 2006, learning to make a girl group, he did not have as many commercial endorsements or invitations to variety shows as Makoto Ogawa, but he is also a member of THE SUN band. member, and is a very talented lyricist.

Under the introduction of Akimoto Yasushi, he has made a lot of money writing lyrics and arranging music for many singers in the past year.

Therefore, although his income was the least among the three members of the band, it still reached an astonishing [-] million yen!

These income figures are what Kiyoshi Sakamoto said in private, from Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki. . .

They all trust Sakamoto Kiyoshi unconditionally, and, in their eyes, their own income is not even a fraction of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's income. . .

Besides, both of them knew very well that they were able to earn so much money because of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Therefore, the two of them don't feel that there is anything to hide about the relatively private matter of revealing their income.

For his teammates, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also felt warm in his heart by trusting himself so much.

Therefore, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Since you all told me your income, I can't keep it away. My income is..."

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who thought that he would get forgiveness from his teammates if he revealed his income figures sincerely, would not think that he was showing off his wealth, will finally tell you all with a bruised nose and swollen face.

"Don't mention your income in front of your teammates!!!"
