Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1179 1179. A Hundred Flowers Bloom
Iwahashi Shinichi did exactly what he expected, the table tennis game he gave to Miwa-chan, before Nakamura-san became a victim, he, the gift-giver, really experienced it first-hand.

When playing games with Mei Hechan in the backstage of the Red and White Song Concert, ominous thoughts such as "Please enter the urn", "Sicilian bull" and so on flashed through his mind one after another.

Brother Nakamura was happy and relaxed, reading his Bunko novel leisurely on the side.

Fortunately, this game is more interesting than imagined, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa-chan played back and forth.Anyway, the backstage of the Red and White Song Club, waiting for himself to go on stage, always had to do something to kill time.

This year's Red and White Song Festival, ZARD and BOLAN were selected again.As for Daikoku Moji, although she has been in the limelight this year, NHK has also sent her the intention to appear on the stage, but she herself is not interested in appearing in the Red and White Song Festival. This New Year's Eve, she will return to her hometown in Sapporo , spend the New Year with the family.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't think that he had to agree to NHK's invitation. Since she was not interested, he turned her down for her.Anyway, it's not a bad thing for a singer to have his own personality.And in the situation where two popular bands, ZARD and BOLAN, are both playing in the battle, if they decline red and white, they will not lose NHK's face.

In terms of small belly, NHK is the best TV station, and it belongs to the villain who can not offend if he can't offend.

Dahei Moji refused the red and white song meeting, but WANDS, who cooperated with her this year, got a red and white admission ticket.

WANDS became more famous after cooperating with Daihei Moji. VERMILLION Records struck while the iron was hot and launched the band's new single and new album, which opened up the situation in one fell swoop.

Of course, being selected for the red and white competition is inseparable from BURNING's support behind it.Although the popularity of the band has steadily increased, NHK has made a request. In terms of song selection, WANDS will sing the collaborative single with Daikoku Moki.

For the arrogant WANDS, NHK's request obviously offended them.In itself, several young people in WANDS were quite unhappy about the fact that they were going to cooperate with a super popular singer as a foil. This cooperation even led to a change of members within the band, and the original captain Yasuke Oshima quit the group directly.

Now, when the band is asked to perform this collaborative song, the audience will inevitably think that they have borrowed the light of Dai Hemoji.

But the rookie band is not eligible to refuse.

Backed by the big tree of BURNING, although on the one hand, the band can get many opportunities, on the other hand, it also means that the band's right to speak will become very little.The company has made a decision and can only obey.

The order of appearance of WANDS is arranged in the first half, the third group of singers in the white group.

On the TV in the lounge, the previous performance was broadcast simultaneously.While facing off against Miwa-chan, Iwahashi Shinichi heard the host's introduction on the TV, so he paid a little attention and put it on the TV that no one was watching.

WANDS appeared on the stage, three youths were dressed as hard-core rock singers, Noboru Uesugi was held in the middle by two teammates, with a stern face, he looked like a handsome man.

The three youths all had a straight face, giving the general audience a very general "rock style" to the ordinary audience who couldn't tell the difference between various types of rock. Just looking at their images, they seemed to feel the strength of the band.

Moreover, this tough outfit reminded some of the audience of a legendary band: Violence.

When Taiko Nagato founded WANDS, one of the prototypes he referred to was Mowei.

"so cool."

Mihe-chan followed Iwahashi Shinichi and glanced at the TV, expressing such emotion.

Yanqiao Shenyi didn't answer the words, thinking to himself, these three young men with serious faces may not necessarily be like this because they want to act like a rock band.But from another point of view, it is precisely because I have the pride of a rock musician in my heart that when I went to the Red and White Song Concert in this way, I chose to express my protest with a straight face.

Shinichi Iwahashi has no interest in evaluating whether a band's behavior is "rock" enough.And after so many bands and years in the recording industry, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to enter the mainstream, he would have to face sacrifices.

Even a band with superior strength still has to compromise in the mainstream music industry. If it lacks strength, it can only sacrifice more.

From the looks of it, this band looks like a superstar.Coupled with Oda Tetsuro's excellent tunes, lead singer Uesugi Noboru's remarkable singing skills will definitely leave a deep impression on the audience in front of the TV.

This time, VERMILLION pushed WANDS to the Red and White Song Concert, which was a wonderful step.As for the possibility of another first-line band being born, Iwahashi Shinichi still has the same attitude: he is happy to see it happen.

When a hundred flowers bloom together, the flowering period can last for a long time.

……

WANDS debuted in red and white this year, and it is still considered qualified.This year, VERMILLION Records even sent the band REV to the Red and White Song Festival.

REV is the first band launched after the establishment of VERMILLION. The female idol Yoko Nagayama is the lead singer, accompanied by four male musicians. It is a replica of ZARD.

Since their debut, the band has been hovering in the second line, unable to touch the edge of the first line. As for VERMILLION, they also tried every means to find a breakthrough, but they couldn't find the right way.

But this year, with the popularity of B'z, REV released a new single. The title song was provided by Takahiro Matsumoto of B'z. This single unexpectedly became popular. By the end of the year, it sold out More than 20 copies have gone.

So, with this single, REV, a band that was not qualified to appear on the stage, also got a chance to appear in the Red and White Song Festival under the strong push of BURNING, trying to promote the band again.

It is incredible that a new record company can get three red and white spots, and two of them are not qualified.But thinking that BURNING is behind the company, then everything is logical.

Of course, VERMILLION Records sent a rookie band and a half-red and not-black band to the Red and White Song Festival. On the one hand, it was the result of BURNING's efforts.On the other hand, in exchange, the company's most popular band B'z will still play this year.

Nowadays, even the Red and White Song Festival needs to start a battle to defend the ratings against various special programs of other TV stations on New Year's Eve.If there is an opportunity to win a popular singer to appear on stage, he will naturally not let it go.

Last year's B'z debuted in red and white, which was achieved at the request of the record company.This year, the company tried its best to demand and request. Although the band was popular, it was not popular enough to ignore the company's opinion, so it had to give in again.

If VERMILLION has no roots, then B'z may still be able to refuse.It is precisely because they are backed by big trees that they have accepted the resources of BURNING, and the strength of the backing implies some kind of threat, so they cannot be too tough before they really become big things.

However, unlike WANDS, who put their emotions on their faces and thought that this red and white appearance was a great shame, although the pair of Matsumoto Takahiro and Inaba Hiroshi were reluctant to appear on the stage, since they agreed to appear on the stage, what they considered was how to make the performance effective. Do your best and don't waste this time on stage.

Therefore, among the three bands of VERMILLION, one was dissatisfied and the other was thoughtful, but only REV completed the performance with ease.

But there is only REV, whether the future is good or bad, I don't know at all, I can only follow the arrangement and "perform".

The audience just watched the performance, and they were not interested in the power struggle behind the singers.But for the industry, tonight's red and white song meeting is simply BURNING's boasting of its own strength.

Backed by BURNING's VERMILLION record, now holding two promising bands, three bands are on the red and white together, how will they develop in the future, naturally attracts attention.

When looking at VERMILLION, it is inevitable to think of GENZO.The new record companies established in the past few years also started out as band business, and the two parties have cooperated several times. VERMILLION's number one competitor in the industry is obviously GENZO.

Judging from today's situation, the two companies with overlapping routes may not have nothing to do in the future.

……

Last year's Red and White Song Concert ended with the white team winning.And this year, the pennant, which symbolized the victory, was turned back to the red group by one vote.

When all the singers returned, the stage of NHK Hall couldn't help but become very crowded.

The reason for this is naturally because there are a large number of bands appearing this year - even Mimi CLUB, a top three super band, is also included in this year's appearances.

Previously, when the Hongbai Song Club announced the list of appearances, the media already called this year's Hongbai "the band Hongbai".

A large number of bands appeared on the stage, just like the grand occasion where idols gathered together.The feng shui turns, and on the stage of the Hongbai Song Festival today, there are very few places for idols, and they are all idols who have been famous for a long time.And after several years of band fad, in this year, the "band age" also came to its apex.

On the side of the red group, Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura are no longer lonely and embarrassed this year. The number of male musicians who joined them with the female lead singer has reached a new high this year.

Brother Nakamura is mixed in, and there is nothing worthy of attention.However, the giraffe man is still the only member of the red group, regardless of whether there are more or less male musicians, there is only one giraffe man.

Wearing a giraffe headgear, the recognition is naturally unparalleled.Perhaps because of this reason, the female singers in the same group squeezed towards him as if using the giraffe man as a reference.

The giraffe man, the mascot of the one-day tour scenic spot of the Red and White Song Festival, is surrounded by flowers when he is not paying attention.

Surrounded by female singers in costumes and posing for a group photo in front of the TV cameras, Shinichi Iwahashi once again recalled the old times when he was surrounded by bear children wearing a doll suit.From a certain point of view, it belongs to remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness.

Wearing a headgear, Shinichi Iwahashi can do without worrying about expression management.He looked around and saw Akina Nakamori.She clapped her hands happily as if she was in a game.The giraffe man, who was surrounded by groups, watched with relish on the lively stage.

Besides him, on the lively stage, everyone was going all out to perform the last performance tonight.
