Chapter 113 Nomination for the Most Popular Newcomer in the Asia-Pacific Region

March 1997, 3 was the 29th Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony.

The awards ceremony was hosted by Eric Tsang, Cheng Yuling, and Eason Chan, who presented awards including the "Most Popular Male Singer Award", "Most Popular Female Singer Award" and "Golden Melody Award".

The top ten golden songs are:

Among them, Lai Ming won the Golden Melody Award for her song "Just Love Me for One Day", Jacky Cheung won the Best Male Singer, and Sammi Cheng won the Best Female Singer.

The Best Composition Award went to Huang Danyi's "Happy Tonight", and the Best Lyric Award went to Lin Xi's "Goodbye 2-Chome" and so on.

…………

Dark Star Plane, on August 1977, 8, "Elvis" Elvis Presley broadcast live on global television before his death and said:
"Wealth, fame, power, everything in this world, if you want it, I will give it to you, then go sign a dark gambling agreement!!!"

This year’s most popular new artist in the Asia-Pacific region is Wang Fei.

Yizhou Island’s Golden Melody Awards and Xiangjiang’s Top Ten Golden Melody Awards are both trendsetters in the Chinese music scene.

What's more important is that you can't fight for anything.

…………

The most successful of them are the American GRAMMY AWARDS and the Billboard Music Awards.

…………

…………

Although Bunta Takakura was nominated, he did not go to Xiangjiang.

Wang Fei, who led the trend of mesh stockings, suddenly gained strength for decades after being injected with plasma by Dou Daxian.

The 1981 "Universal Convention for the Protection of Copyright" passed laws and rules and regulations, breaking the entertainment industry barriers in 233 countries and regions.

In the past decade or so, awards with a vane nature have emerged in various regions, controlling the region's entertainment voice.

The "Japan Golden Disc Award" issued by the Recording Association of Japan and the "Japan Record Award" sponsored by the Japan Composers Association in conjunction with TBS TV station and major newspapers are Japan's highest music honors.

Kanda Keiko got the wind from Sony Records in advance, so this year's hit song has nothing to do with him as a Japanese.

Last year, 18 "most exciting concerts" were held at the Hong Kong Stadium in Hong Kong, breaking the record for the number of concerts held by a Hong Kong singer for the first time.

At any rate, it was also last year's Beasts rock band's "Kill, Miracle, Heart" that topped the Japanese Oricon album of the year.

In the 20s, after establishing the authority of their own languages, these awards began to compete for more international influence, trying to dominate the music discourse in Asia and even the world.

Under this background, Takakura Bunta was nominated for the "Most Popular Newcomer in the Asia-Pacific Region" for the theme song "Miracle Reappearance" of the Mandarin version of "Ultraman Tega".

He couldn't even afford to lose that person if he went to compete for a newcomer award.

The dark age of the global entertainment industry has begun.

For example: Korea's MMA, a long-standing traditional award, the award organized by melon, the most authoritative music source list, the music source is so good that it can go sideways.

These two awards have been considered to be one of the most authoritative and professional world-class music awards that break through the constraints of language.

And with the album "Impotent", he became the first Chinese singer to appear on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States.

…………

Of course, if Takakura Bunta wants it, Sony will have a stake in Takakura Bunta Studio after all.

Coupled with the influence of Kadokawa Ryoko, the person in charge of Kadokawa Shoten's fragrance, we can still fight for it.

But Takakura Bunta was too lazy to go.

…………

From the 80s to the mid-90s, the gold content of the four award ceremonies in Xiangjiang was higher than that of the Yizhou Island Golden Melody Awards. Especially in the past, Xiangjiang also held song awards jointly presented by the four channels, which were very valuable.

After 2000, the development of the Hong Kong music scene slumped, and the influence of the Cantonese music scene declined so much that it was no longer as brave as it once was...

That was the best time to enter the Hong Kong music market.

…………The exclusive nature of Hong Kong Island’s entertainment industry is well known around the world.

Now is the golden age of the Hong Kong music scene. The Four Heavenly Kings are truly at their peak. Now that I go out to play, I am courting death...

In 1992, the Four Heavenly Kings had already secured seven of the ten spots, leaving little room for other singers to survive.

So since 1994, there has been an unwritten rule in the Top Ten Golden Songs that a singer can only win one Golden Melody Award. In order to prevent monopoly, it is also to give more opportunities to other less talented singers to win awards.

…………

In the dark star plane, things in the global entertainment industry can be summarized in one sentence:

If you compromise with the other party, you will become their nourishment;
If you're not at the table, it's definitely on the menu.

…………

If Takakura Bunta participates in this new singer nomination this time, it will be equivalent to acknowledging his initial position as a celebrity.

In the future, I would like to enter the Xiangjiang market and even the Chinese-speaking market in the Red Earth Continent.

He is not the quasi-king or king of the Japanese entertainment industry, but a popular new Asian singer in 1997.

Therefore, Bunta Takakura is really not particularly keen on song awards. It would be better to add icing on the cake, and it would not be a big disappointment if there is no such thing.

…………

Even if you die, you will have to die

死んでも屮が要る
It’s not pleasant if it’s not vivid and vivid.
I'm not happy anymore
No matter how deep the feelings are, this is the only way
Love is deep and deep
That's enough to express

Very confession
…………

Even if you die, you will have to die

死んでも屮が要る
don't cry till you smile
Weeping and smiling
destruction of universe
The universe is destroyed
The sculpture is still there

Carving is done
…………

Do A as if every time is the end
Every time I think about the end of the world

Do it day by day until tears fall

涙が流ちるまで日干いていた

…………

This song "I Will Die Even If I Die" is the last song of the new album, and the lead singer is Tony Futaki, who plays guitar.

This is also Tony Ermu's first lead vocal song in the Beast Rock Band.

This song is very suitable for Tony Futaki's career, and it can be linked with the release of Poseidon Pictures' new film as a single.

…………

During this time, the entire Beasts rock band was in the recording studio, polishing the entire new album.

In the morning, I made the remaining accompaniment, and in the afternoon I began to trial-record songs with already prepared accompaniment, slowly finding my groove.

Bunta Takakura and Akina Nakamori are mainly responsible for "ヤキモチ" (Jealous) and "PLANET" (Planet).

Tony Futaki is responsible for the Japanese, Korean and Chinese versions of "Even If You Die".

…………

On Saturday afternoon, Tony Ermu will go back to Poseidon Cinema to reshoot a few scenes with Xiao Zaoyuan.

Bunta Takakura and Akina Nakamori continued to record songs at Sony Studios.

"ヤキモチ" (Jealous) was recorded twice. Takakura Bunta was a little satisfied. He made a sign in the recording studio and came out to drink water.

As a result, Kanda Keiko was seen rushing into the recording studio with a newspaper.
