Flying over the bubble era

989 Chapter 989. Dance Together

The Kansai Cable Grand Prize was won by ZARD, and the Kanto Cable Grand Prize was announced almost at the same time. The grand prize winner was Takao Horiuchi's "Love Song Diary".

This song was first sung by a newcomer, Aso Shiori. This Aso Shiori was originally a clerk in a department store in Aomori. At the age of 25, he was recommended to participate in a TV interview by chance and got this opportunity to debut.

And her debut song is "Love Song Diary" composed by Takao Horiuchi.

This song was not sung by Shiori Aso, but after the New Year, Takao Horiuchi took it back and sang it himself. Once it was released, it was well received. It also performed extremely well, selling 37 copies this year.

"Honorary Citizen of Osaka" ZARD was able to beat "True Osaka Citizen" Takao Horiuchi to win the Kansai Cable Awards. While Shinichi Iwahashi was happy for the band, he was also really surprised.

It is precisely because ZARD won the weight award in Kansai that Iwahashi Shinichi has the confidence to further enter Kansai.

Horiuchi Takao once formed the band ALICE with Tanimura Shinji and Yazawa Toru.In the 80s, the band ceased activities and the members went solo.For Takao Horiuchi, this single is the representative work of his 20-year career as a singer.With this single, he not only won the Kanto Cable Awards, but also was shortlisted for the gold awards of the Red and White Song Festival and the Record Awards.

Singer-songwriters have a long flowering period. As long as they can write good songs, the second spring will come at an unknown time.

……

The two cable awards in Kanto and Kansai were announced one after another, and the FNS Song Festival of Fuji TV was also held as scheduled. As expected, "Let's Dance Together" won the Grand Prize of the FNS Song Festival.

As the single with the highest sales volume this year, it is also the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan" broadcast by Fuji TV. Not only that, Fuji TV also has the original copyright of this single. Due to emotion and reason, this award will run no.Of course, with the performance of this single, it is indeed so strong that it would be strange not to award it.

Even so, if it's an FNS music festival, no matter who the award goes to, most of the audience won't care.

The ratings of the FNS Music Festival in recent years have been unsatisfactory. To be precise, the public is tired of the flood of music award ceremonies. By the end of the year, when you turn on the TV, any TV station will present awards. Singers with similar faces are showing similar appearances. Excited and tearful.

No matter how you say it, the Record Awards are recognized as the most authoritative awards.The two cable awards in Kanto and Kansai are awarded to the king of on-demand radio, and the other Golden Disc Awards are based on sales of real money.

Although these awards are not without scandals such as buying prizes, repurchasing, and making data, after all, there is generally a selection standard that the public can understand and accept, and there are data that are clearly listed for the audience to see.In addition, the two cable awards also accounted for an additional freshness.

After all, the king of record sales may not get cheap from cable broadcasting.Just like Takao Horiuchi and ZARD can win the Cable Awards, but "Let's Dance Together" is not often requested on the radio.

Programs like the FNS Music Festival lack the authority of the Record Awards in the hearts of the public, and the criteria for the awards are nothing new to the public. Naturally, the appeal is getting worse every year.

In addition, with the development of society, various entertainment methods have replaced TV, and the channels for the public to obtain information have also increased significantly, and the time spent watching TV by audiences has been greatly reduced every day. Even if they are interested in award ceremonies, they will naturally give priority to authoritative ones.

For an awards show like the FNS Music Festival, the situation has also become awkward.

According to the information that Shinichi Iwahashi heard from Fuji TV, the production bureau has a strong intention to stop the awards ceremony.However, at the end of the year, the TV station must have a special music program that can be sold. The FNS song festival has already gained a reputation, and most of it is a revision based on the existing basis.

If the awards ceremony of the FNS Music Festival is really cancelled, then "Let's Dance Together" will become the last grand prize winner.But it doesn't prevent "Let's Dance Together" killing the Quartet at the end of the year.

Having said that, after thinking about it this year, Fuji TV decided to suspend the FNS Song Festival.On the other hand, TV Asahi acted more quickly, and stopped the "All Japan Song Music Festival" hosted by TV Asahi this year.

Of course, the most important reason why TV Asahi was able to make such a decisive move was because there was nothing worth remembering about this awards ceremony.

In contrast, the FNS Kayo Festival had a period of brilliance, but the name of TV Asahi’s all-Japan Kayo Music Festival sounds impressive, but in fact, from the start of the broadcast, it was like the outside world once commented that “as long as Japan has NTV, Fuji TV, and TBS TV are enough." In that way, this award ceremony has been inconsequential and dispensable, which is quite embarrassing.

During the critical period of the locust, folk entertainment activities were restricted. That year, the All Japan Song Music Festival was suspended for a year, but the several important award ceremonies, including the FNS Song Festival, were safe and sound.The broadcast was suspended for one episode, and the ratings and response of the rebroadcast episode the next year were not good, which accelerated the TV station's action to end the awards ceremony.

The All Japan Song Music Festival will be suspended this year, but a special music program is needed at the end of the year.This important task finally fell on TV Asahi's currently best-rated MUSIC STATION.

This year, TV Asahi decided to make the MUSIC STATION on December 21 a four-hour special program, inviting this year's topical singers and rising stars to come to a super-large live performance.

Whether it is suspension or transformation, music programs in the form of award ceremonies have gradually lost the interest of the public, which has become a fact.When the new era comes, it is obvious that many programs that have been broadcast for more than ten years or even decades will be eliminated.

……

The sales volume of "Let's Dance Together" hit a record, and the accompanying animation is also a work with high ratings and high discussions this year. Under the promotion of Fuji TV, various "Chibi Maruko" and "Let's Dance Together" There have been waves of activities, and even the unclear meaning of "crackling crackling crackling" in the lyrics has become a buzzword this year.

High sales and high popularity, according to the evaluation criteria of the Grand Prize, it can be regarded as this year's perfect work.

The theme song of the animation swept thousands of troops at the end of the year, winning all the awards that could be won, and also booked a special program for the Red and White Song Festival, which can be described as spectacular.With such a grand event, no one can't help but sigh in his heart, the theme song of the animation is not popular, but once it becomes popular, it is aimed at the national level.

The Kohaku Uta will never miss the hot spot. Although "Chibi Maruko" is an animation of Fuji TV, under the guise of "preparing a special performance for "Let's Dance Together"" it has successfully obtained the right to use the animation.

Among them, Fuji TV also depends on BURNING Zhou Fang Yuxiong's face. After all, BBQUEENS is now a singer belonging to the BURNING department, and Zhou Fang Yuxiong himself has a close relationship with NHK.

The grand prize was booked by "Let's Dance Together", for Iwahashi Shinichi, he is happy to see it come true.After all, this single was released from GENZO.

Fuji TV promoted it, BURNING spared no effort to support it, and NHK tried its best to take advantage of it... The harder these forces work, the more money Iwahashi Shinichi can make.

With the blockbuster debut of "Let's Dance Together", there is almost no suspense in this year's awards.

The answer has been written down on paper early, there is no need for you to compete, and the industry has calmed down. Even the tabloids and magazines have no interest in exaggerating, just waiting for this combination that turned out this year to get the award it wants to win. .

Everyone already knows who the big reward will be distributed to.But besides the grand prize, there are various other awards.

This year GENZO has been in the limelight and won many awards.Each of the three bands has an album selected for the best album of the year. In addition, Sachiko Kamaike won the Best Lyrics Award, and Keiko Utoku won the Newcomer Award.Regardless of fame or fortune, this year is a year full of harvest.

At the end of the year, no matter what industry or industry, all kinds of receptions and summary meetings are being prepared, and the world is the most bustling time.In the middle of the night, there is never a shortage of drunks in the streets and alleys, and there is never a shortage of loud noises after drinking.

However, compared to last year, although the end of this year is still lively, there seems to be a subtle, inexplicable shadow of depression hanging over the city that never sleeps, making this scene lively, subtly like a doomsday carnival .

despite this.For the recording industry, which has finally ushered in the market recovery, this year is a year of substantial improvement in performance. Practitioners in the recording industry have great ambitions and imagine the coming year.

Some people are happy and some are sad, some climb to the top, and some fall from the top.

For GENZO, which has gained a firm foothold this year and stood in front of the high-speed track, the company is full of joy from top to bottom. The employees are full of energy when they go out to entertain and socialize, and they are full of vigor when they come back to participate in the company's summary .The new company has new vitality, and everyone can't help but feel joy and excitement for this success.

The performance was good. At the end of the year, GENZO made preparations for the meeting venue of the Takanawa Prince Hotel and the celebration party for the staff in advance. In addition, they also booked a trip to Hawaii during the New Year holiday for the staff.

Staying in Japan is still a Japan where the bubble is not yet burst. It is impossible for a group trip to avoid Hawaii.

……

"Crackling crackling~"

Akina Nakamori hummed while skillfully shaking her wrists, imitating the movements of BBQQUEENS' backup dancers.Shaking his wrist, he didn't forget Nian Xiajun next to him, and glanced at him to inspect his study results.

result--

"Obviously the body is so flexible when dancing, and the fingers are so dexterous when making paper origami, why is it so stiff when doing this hand dance?" After finishing speaking, Taopustar sighed pretendingly.Originally, I wanted to pretend to be a teacher who hates iron and steel, but in the end I overdid it, and I looked like a stupid teacher who taught a hundred times and still failed to teach the students.

...That's because I think this hand dance is too funny.

Yanqiao Shenyi thought secretly, and simply put his hand down, "Probably only the wrist is not flexible enough."

His words were unreasonable, Nakamori Akina couldn't help but stare at him, and commented solemnly, "As for you, Shinichi, as long as you want to find reasons, you can find thirty immediately."

Yanqiao Shinichi was a little speechless, "Even if you find three reasons, it is enough to cause headaches."

"That's true." She changed her words quickly.

Yanqiao Shen looked at this Nakamori Akina and nodded, as if he accepted his words, so he stretched out his hand and took her hand, "Besides, being set off by such a flexible Akina-san, of course it looks more stiff .”

Akina Nakamori smiled, turned her head to look at the calm face, and said to him, "Just looking at this face, I can't imagine that he is actually such a sweet-mouthed little brother." She is like a little proprietress in a shopping street. Qiao Shenyi called him "little brother".

When she called him that, Yanqiao Shen blinked and imitated her, "Just listening to these words, I can't imagine that it is actually a compliment from Akina-san..."

Before the words finished, Akina Nakamori laughed out loud and fell on him.Obviously the person got close to him, but he wanted to say: "If you don't think it's a compliment, then I will take it back."

Can you take back what you say?
Yanqiao Shinichi made her laugh at her childishness, leaned over and touched her lips.

This Akina Nakamori immediately changed her mind and showed mercy to what she had said.This appearance seemed to have been bribed by this kiss.She was next to Shinichi Iwahashi, and said something stupid to herself, "Akina-san Nakamori is so easy-going, I changed my mind after being 'tweeted' by you."

"It sounds like you are some kind of Nakamori Akina-san's commentator." Iwahashi Shinichi changed his sitting position to make her lean more comfortably.

Akina Nakamori laughed again, "Just take it as it is." She was quite carefree.

Two people practicing "cracking crackling~" at home is definitely not a small hobby for themselves when they have nothing to do.The reason why I need to practice is to accompany the dancer in the performance of "Let's Dance Together" when I participate in the Red and White Song Concert.

However, even though the Red and White Song Club Committee made such a request, the singers who will be on both sides of the stage to cheer for the fun will be fine even if they just make a few casual gestures.Only this Nakamori Akina needs to take him to practice seriously.

In the cold winter of December, staying in a heated room and cuddling with my girlfriend is not unhappy.Yanqiao Shin pressed his face to her cheek, listening to her breathing.Breathing in and out reminds him of a butterfly fluttering its wings.

He gently hugged the butterfly in his arms.

At this time, I heard Nakamori Akina say to him, "...When the time comes, Shinichi, you must wear a headgear, right?" Without waiting for Iwahashi Shinichi to answer, he continued, "Giraffe-kun who is dancing with his hands, It's cute when you think about it. If there are children in the audience watching TV, they will probably think, 'Kirin-kun kawaii~', like this."

She started talking like a child again, and when she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at him with a smile.

As soon as Yanqiao Shen heard what she said, he seemed to understand why she deliberately pulled him to learn this hand dance.
