Chapter 503 Grammy!
"...that's the way it is."

From the waiting room to the plane, Sakamoto Kiyoshi listened tirelessly, Chiba Masaki's non-stop rambling, and Ogawa's interruptions from time to time.

"Well, that's good." From the words of the two, it can be heard that they welcome the Banana Man very much.

In this way, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was also relieved. . .

At this time, Ogawa Zhen, who was sitting on the left side of him and was listening to music with earphones, suddenly asked.

"By the way, our nominations this time are five nominations, right?"

"Well, Best Song of the Year, Best Newcomer, Best Rock Band/Group, Best Pop Group/Group, Best Rock Single..." Before Kiyoshi Sakamoto could answer, Masaki Chiba, who was sitting on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's right But he answered first, "Five!"

Seeing Chiba Masaki's silly look while pointing with his fingers, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Ogawa Makoto exchanged a look, and both of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"This idiot..."

Just when the two of them were thinking this way in their hearts, Chiba Masaki suddenly became excited.

"Do you think we can win the Grammy this time?!" Even though he was wearing an airline seat belt, it couldn't stop Chiba Masaki's burning curiosity.

Ignoring the fact that the plane was flying, he directly supported the back of the seat with his hands, and analyzed happily.

"It stands to reason that we only released a single, and the chance of winning is very small, but!" Chiba Masaki changed the subject, "I think, our single has sold 700 million copies worldwide!"

"And also won the Billboard weekly chart for three consecutive weeks. Such a result, among the rookies, is amazing..."

"Others, I don't expect too much, the best newcomer, you can still look forward to it..."

Chiba Masaki's logical analysis made both Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Ogawa Shin look surprised.

"Masaki, are you okay?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly asked worriedly, and stretched out his hand, put it on Chiba Masaki's forehead, and asked, "Does this child have a fever?"

"Huh?" Masaki Chiba murmured with a confused look on his face, "I don't have a fever!"

"If he didn't have a fever, how could Masaki, who is usually an idiot, suddenly become smart?!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto held back his laugh, and seriously teased Masaki Chiba, "It must have burnt out his brain, otherwise, how could he say Such a calm analysis?"

. . .

"Depend on!"

Chiba Masaki, who finally came to his senses, rolled his eyes and cursed speechlessly, "You're the one who burned out your brain..."

"Since when have I been so smart, okay?!"

"Hahaha!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Makoto Ogawa, who could no longer hold back their laughter, laughed at the same time.

After the slapstick, Kiyoshi Sakamoto leaned on the seat, touched his sharp chin with his slender fingers, and calmly expressed his analysis.

"Although Masaki, you analyzed very well, and you also listed our winning advantages, but!"

"Our chances of winning the best newcomer award are very slim!"

"Uh? Why?!" This sentence is completely different. The words that would come out of such a confident mouth of Sakamoto Kiyoshi made Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki focus their surprised eyes on him at the same time.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto ignored their strange gazes and continued.

"Although we were shortlisted for the Grammys, and we were shortlisted for five nominations."

"However, apart from the two awards of Best Song of the Year and Best Newcomer of the Year, the awards for Best Rock Band/Group, Best Pop Group/Group, and Best Rock Single are all comforting. A very strong award." Kiyoshi Sakamoto said, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, "Also, our opponents are all very strong!"

In fact, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has reservations about whether THE SUN can achieve the first zero breakthrough of a Japanese singer beyond the Grammy this time.

Even under Sony's deliberate publicity, THE SUN's first Grammy tour has received the support and attention of the whole of Japan. . .

You know, when he saw the nomination list for this year's Grammy Awards, he knew that the chance of THE SUN wanting to win something was very small.

Not to mention, the Grammy is an award for Europeans and Americans, representing the highest honor of European and American music. For Asian singers, it is inherently unfair.

Take the opponents that THE SUN will face this time, they have already lost a lot. . .

In the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto determined the most likely award through the method of exclusion after careful consideration.

That is, Best Rock Single!
Among the four nominations, the nomination for the best song of the year is simply negligible.

Because it is impossible for an Asian band, THE SUN, to win one of the three awards for song of the year when it was nominated for the Grammy for the first time.

So, don't think about it, the first one to be excluded is the song of the year.

Next, among the nominations received by THE SUN, the second only to Song of the Year is the Best Newcomer Award.

However, there is almost no chance for THE SUN to win this award.

You know, there is a talented singer who cannot be ignored at the Grammy, which has a British style this year.

That's a 19-year-old girl from England, Adele!

The current Adele is not the terrifying existence who was later known as the Queen of Soul and swept the world at the Grammys.

But, still, relying on her contagious soul singing, she pushed herself to the world in one fell swoop.

The first album has achieved more than 900 million sales worldwide!
There is no doubt that the best newcomer award must belong to Adele.

Excluding the two general awards, the remaining three nominations are all awards under the category.

Among them, the best rock single in the rock category is THE SUN, which became popular with the song "We Are Young", and is the most likely to win the award.

Although facing competitors, the strength is still strong.

Bands such as Coldplay, Maroon 5, Eagles, Kings Of Leon, etc. . .

However, THE SUN is the only Grammy finalist in Asia. If under the operation of Sony, there is also the cake-sharing method that Grammy is best at, maybe. . .

It is not impossible to win this award!
However, it is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's habit to prepare for the worst.

"So, we will probably get nothing for being shortlisted this time..." In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the two, Kiyoshi Sakamoto added, "However, we don't need to underestimate ourselves."

Kiyoshi Sakamoto stretched out his hand and patted it. The teammates sitting on both sides of him smiled and said, "You know, we are the first Asian band to be shortlisted for the Grammy..."

"And, this is the first time we've been nominated for a Grammy, and we've got five nominations!"

"So cheer up!"

"En!" Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki nodded seriously.

After comforting his teammates, Kiyoshi Sakamoto stared at the invitation letter in his hand with his clear and shiny black eyes, and murmured, "Grammy?"

I saw the whole black body tightly clutched in his hand, with a gold-edged invitation letter, with the words "51st Grammy" written on it!
