Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 683 Seven Nominations
After eating, he comforted Shirahashi Shichichi again, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto sent the three of them home one by one.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, the scent of girls still lingers in his nostrils.

On the way back, Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought a lot.

Actually, the level of Baiqiao Qisan is not that bad.

According to Uncle Ishida's previous report, Shirahashi Seven's strength in all aspects is not inferior to all active idols.

Even in terms of singing skills, it can be said that everyone in AKB has been smashed.

It's just that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's expectations for the three were too high, and after seeing the substandard performance, he felt a huge gap, which made him so disappointed. . .

This time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi understood that singing, dancing, acting and other performance skills are of course important.

However, psychological qualities such as stress resistance and self-regulation are also very noteworthy.

In the entertainment industry, without a strong heart, it is difficult to make a difference.

Looking at the high-rise buildings outside through the car window, Kiyoshi Sakamoto muttered something.

"It seems that before debut, psychological counseling is the most important thing..."

. . . . . .

2 month 14 day.

It was Valentine's Day, but Kiyoshi Sakamoto had no time to accompany Yui Aragaki. Instead, he took a private plane and arrived in Los Angeles, the "City of Angels" in the United States.

Along with them were Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki. . .

The reason why the three of them came to the United States at this time was entirely because of an invitation from the other side of the ocean.

"It is a great honor to inform you that the 53rd Grammy Awards will be held on the 22nd of this month at the Staples Center in Los Angeles..."

That's right, THE SUN has been invited by the world's most famous and important music award ceremony, Grammy!
This is all thanks to THE SUN's first full English album, "The First Light", released on Christmas Day 2009.

"The First Light", which was released on December 2009, 12, was airborne at the top of the UK album chart and the top of the Billboard 25 album chart at the same time due to its huge download volume and radio demand rate in the first week of its release.

After that, "The First Light" also sang all the way, and the sales volume remained high.

Although, the 2010 global album annual champion belongs to the white rap king Eminem's "Recovery".

More than 600 million copies worldwide, and 360 million in the United States, are enough to make him the best-selling artist of 2010.

However, "The First Light" has become the most eye-catching band in 2010 relying on multiple high-quality songs and the hype around the world!
As of February 2011, "The First Light" entered the top ten of the global album charts with an astonishing sales volume of 2 million copies in the United States and 200 million copies worldwide (mainly in Japan, where the sales volume is too high).

It is worth mentioning that, as the main title of the album and the pre-heating single, "Radioactive" has also sold nearly 500 million copies (including music downloads) worldwide, ranking at the top of the global singles list. ten.

What surprised the public even more was that "Somebody That I Used to Know", a collaboration between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Taylor, also relied on Taylor's high popularity and the delicate emotions expressed in the song, and sold 400 million copies, becoming the most popular song of the year. Welcome male and female chorus songs!

Naturally, the Grammy judges couldn't turn a blind eye to such a good result.

Therefore, THE SUN was invited to the Grammy Awards for the second time.

Not only that, compared to the obscurity when they attended the Grammy last time, THE SUN is aggressive this time.

On the Grammy nomination list announced not long ago, THE SUN has seven nominations, second only to Eminem, who leads the way with ten nominations, and "Mars brother" Bruno Mars, who has nine nominations. Most Grammy-nominated band!

After two years, THE SUN launched an impact on the Grammy with a more mature attitude!
Grammy's live performances often have big-name singers joining in.

Eminem, a strong contender for the best album of the year, sang two divine comedies in a row. They respectively joined hands with "Shandong Queen" Rihanna to dedicate a song "Love The Way You Lie", and then collaborated with Dr. Dre and Skylar Gray Collaborated with "I Need A Doctor".

The cooperation of the four became one of the most shocking performances of the night.

Speaking of cooperative performances, the surprise performance of "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Kiyoshi Sakamoto and "Little Country Princess" Taylor Swift also made the audience cheer continuously.

However, the highlight of the night was Mick Jagger's performance.

In a tribute performance to legendary soul singer Solomon Bock, rock superstar Mick Jagger showcases his own interpretation of soul songs, rendition of Solomon's 1964 hit "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" Incisively and vividly, successfully ignited the passion of the audience.

Until the award of the general award, this year's Grammys have achieved their purpose-entertaining the public.

Whether it's Kiyoshi Sakamoto's chorus with Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga's surreal eggshell outfit, Justin Bieber's medley of songs, or Katy Perry's flying angel performance and Cee Lo Green's fire Chicken costume performances are all about attracting the attention of the mainstream public to the greatest extent

However, when it came time to award the awards, the "Grammy" changed from a happy actor to a harsh judge as if it had changed its face.

The Best Rookie of the Year Award, which was presented first, became the first high-profile award of the night.

Among the nominees for the award, Justin Bieber, the super-popular boy, and THE SUN, the top Asian band that has gradually become famous in the world, are the most popular for the award.

Under the circumstances that it is possible for anyone to win the award, THE SUN still won this award by relying on its extremely high-quality album and the amazing sales that did not lose to its opponents!
When it was time to present the most important album of the year, the biggest upset of this year's Grammys broke out!

Originally, the media agreed that this award belonged to Eminem.

Who knows, the Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire, like a big dark horse that has run free, has taken away the best album of the year!
In this award, Grammy once again reiterated its bottom line, that is: conservative.

Regarding the recognition of rap music, "Grammy" has always been conservative, because rap music itself is a kind of controversial music, and "Grammy" has almost changed its color on the controversy. Rap music has never taken advantage of the comprehensive category awards. This time, even if it was well-received, Eminem missed the third time and failed to win the "Album of the Year".

Compared with the "Best Newcomer of the Year" and "Best Album of the Year", who will win the other two comprehensive awards, it once again confirms that the Grammy's almost partial love for country music.

In the final awards session, the new country group Lady Antebellum won the "Best Production of the Year" and "Best Song of the Year" with "Need You Now" with beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics!
It also drew an incomplete end to this grand event in the music industry. . .
