Chapter 58: New Year's Holiday (1/2)
In the applause of the audience, Ye Zhao slowly walked up to the stage, took his trophy, and delivered his award speech in a decent manner, and then walked off the stage and returned to his seat. Although he had a decent smile on his face, one capital question mark flashed in his heart, was this because BRUNING had lifted his hostility towards him, or was there some other reason?
This year's annual award was finally won by Mr. Kids with the famous song "Innocent World".
The judging criteria for the annual award come from the sales of the single plus the votes of the audience and the 22 judges, which is why Kondo Masahiko has a shady record award - the single he won the award sold only 180,000, and it is almost difficult to qualify for the finalist.
In terms of sales, the single "Innocent World" sold 1.8 million copies in 1994 and ranked first on the annual chart, and in terms of musicality, the greatness of this song does not need to be repeated, but there is no doubt that it is precisely because of the appearance of this song that Kazutoshi Sakurai will lead his band to open the Musou mode and kill all sides in the music world, and the worldview created by Kazutoshi Sakurai in the lyrics has influenced countless later generations.
The only thing that was a little embarrassing was that Mr. Kid didn't attend tonight's record awards at all, and the last person to take the stage to accept the award was the representative of the record company, Kyoichi Inaba.
The award ceremony came to an end, he left the TBS broadcast center, and sat in the back seat of the car, Ye Zhao put the trophy to the side and yawned, "I'm bored." ”
Uemura Yuki teased, "Ye Zhaosang, if these words are heard by people who don't win awards, they have to despise you." "No matter how insignificant the award is, being able to appear on the stage of the record awards is in itself a kind of recognition.
"Winning awards is winning awards, and boredom is really boring. Ye Zhao stretched, "Just put me at Sanxuan Teahouse Station, and you can go home quickly for the New Year." ”
"Ye Zhaosang is not going back to his hometown?" asked Yuki Uemura.
"It's too late today, I'll go back tomorrow, I've already told my family. ”
Since this was the case, Yuki Uemura didn't say anything more, and drove the car quietly until he sent Ye Zhao to Sanxuan Chaya Station.
A person's New Year's Eve is a boring and lonely thing, especially for Ye Zhao, what he has to endure is not only the loneliness of being alone, but also the reality that he has completely said goodbye to his relatives and friends in his previous life.
Back at Sangenchaya's apartment, turn on the TV, and see that X-JAPAN is performing "Rusty Nail" at NHK's red and white song party , lead singer TOSHI dressed in white, wearing black sunglasses, unscrupulously soaring his unique high notes, drummer YOSHIKI even at the red and white song party, still shirtless, while playing drums, while doing his trademark head-shaking movements, this year is the peak of X-JAPAN, the always indifferent red and white audience is also ignited by the performance of this legendary band, and the audience is cheering hard.
After X-JAPAN exited, the red group followed by Shizuka Kudo, this year YOSHIKI and Shizuka Kudo's relationship was exposed, and NHK was also quite popular, and directly arranged for the couple to fight against each other at the Red and White Song Party that year. Shizuka Kudo, who was also dressed in white and dressed in white, sang a song "Blue Rose" enthusiastically accompanied by four black-clad dancers.
Even from the current point of view, Shizuka Kudo's makeup and dress at this time do not have the slightest taste of the earth, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are even more beautiful and handsome, coupled with her outstanding talent, it is not difficult to understand why after the dissolution of the kitten club, she jumped to the top and became a super idol with a total sales of nearly 15 million.
AND OUTSIDE OF HER CAREER, SHIZUKA KUDO HAS CAPTURED THE HEARTS OF TWO SUPERSTARS, YOSHIKI AND TAKIYA KIMURA, ONE AFTER ANOTHER, AND HAS BECOME THE TARGET OF ENVY AND HATRED OF ALL RB WOMEN.
After Shizuka Kudo left the stage, there was another round of singing performances, and then Kenichi Mikawa and Sachiko Kobayashi appeared one after another, continuing their costume duel. The gorgeous costumes of these two singers at the Red and White Song Party have always been the highlight of the audience.
In this year's Red and White Song Festival, the final winner is the red group. After the on-site vote count was over, Kazuo Nakamura, director of NHK Broadcasting, handed over the pennant with the winning letter to Emiko Einuma, the secretary of the Red Group, and when the singers collectively sang "Firefly Light", which is equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala "Unforgettable Tonight", under the guidance of conductor Yasuya Miyagawa, Ye Zhao raised his hand and turned off the TV.
……
The next morning, carrying a sports bag with a change of clothes in his left hand and a trolley case full of souvenirs purchased during the tour in his right hand, Ye Zhao boarded the JR train to Yokohama alone.
On December 29, Ye Zhao received a call from his sister Ye Qing asking him to go home for the New Year.
"On the evening of the 31st, I have to participate in the live broadcast of the record awards, and it will be very late when it is over, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go back. Ye Zhao explained.
"Then come back on the first of January!" Ye Qing couldn't help but say that she had set a schedule for Ye Zhao, "I said, brother, you won't be angry with your parents so you twist and pinch it, right?"
"You're just twisting and pinching!" Ye Zhao said in disgust, "Don't worry, I will definitely go back one morning." After the scandal, the reporter somehow found out the address of Ye Zhao's hometown and the school where his parents taught, and chased them again and again. Ye Qing also went to Tokyo for this purpose and sent Imagawa ware made by her mother You Xiangrong herself.
Ye Qing on the phone got a positive answer, and said in a good mood: "Then it's decided, one morning! If my brother doesn't come back, I'll go to Tokyo to settle accounts with you!"
Ye Zhao's hometown is located in Wakaba Town, SZ District, Yokohama, an ordinary Japanese-style two-story one-family building, which seems to have been built when Ye Lin You Xiangrong and his wife were newly married.
When he was expelled from the house, the predecessor Ye Zhao mailed the keys to the house back out of stubbornness, resulting in the current Ye Zhao having to ring the doorbell to report although he returned to his own home.
After waiting for about a minute or two, accompanied by a long tone of "Coming-", through the door, the sound of a trotting came from far and near, and with a "hula", the door was pulled open forcefully, and the petite Ye Qing leaned out.
"Haven't you gotten up yet?" Ye Zhao pointed to Ye Qing's long unkempt hair and pink bear pajamas.
Ye Qing yawned and took the trolley box in Ye Zhao's hand, "No way, I slept too late yesterday." ”
After entering the house and changing his shoes in the hallway, Ye Zhao asked casually, "Where are your parents?"
"Probably go out, or I wouldn't need me, who is still under the covers, to come out and open the door. Ye Qing found the slippers for Ye Zhao from the shoe cabinet.
"Thank you. After changing into slippers, Ye Zhao carried his sports bag and followed his body's memory to the second floor, ready to take his things to his room.
"Brother, where is there another box?"
"That's not necessary, it's filled with the local products brought back from this trip to the north to publicize, you open it and see if you like it." ”
Ye Qing cheered and carried the box into the living room.
