The performance at the Budokan was so well received that it was widely reported on television and newspapers the next day. Ending with such a result is a perfect end for people from all walks of life.

Of course, from the singer's point of view, it is true that everything has ended here, but in other places, there is still a part that needs to be "swept up".

First of all, there are various events at the end of the year, even if you are absent from the music program, but various awards are inevitably mentioned.

Especially this time, it was a project that united four record companies, and they were all large record companies, and it took so much financial resources and energy to make a project, so I couldn't say that I didn't win a few awards.

At the very least, the Best Project Award at the Year-end Record Awards is already in the bag.

In addition to winning awards, it has only been October, and the NHK Red and White Song Club, which loves to do things to increase ratings and throws olive branches to popular singers every year, has already handed over a proposal to make a special plan at the Red and White Song Club.

The last time I formed the limited band OK, the special project was for Sony's help, but this time it was NHK who took the initiative to invite me to do the special project.

However, although Ye Zhao expressed his gratitude verbally for NHK's invitation, he still decisively refused the red and white program group in action.

Not only did he refuse the offer of a special project, but he also refused to appear as a white group singer this year.

The reason is also very legitimate, on the night of the 31st, he wants to continue to spend New Year's Eve with fans in Yokohama Arena. Just after April this year, his company began to negotiate the lease of the venue, and took the first step to occupy the venue.

Since I chose to hold the concert on the night of New Year's Day, I had already decided that I would not participate in events such as the Red and White Song Club, the Record Awards, and TV New Year's Eve.

If you want to see him on New Year's Day, it is more practical to honestly pay for tickets. And, of course, make sure you get your tickets.

Now, the five singers he worked with are in a stable period of their careers, and although the singing has begun to decline, it has not yet reached the situation that came later, and the time left for the singers is long enough, so even if he doesn't show up, he won't delay them from putting on kimonos and participating in the war as singers.

In other words, in this era, even when he can't be red and white, the five of them will not be absent from red and white.

However, although others are not in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are full of his legends.

The singer produced and launched by him has become a hit in various year-end programs this year, and instead of his existence in various programs, just the Red and White Song Club has already booked three groups of people to star, Kiroro, Ken Hirai, and Puffy.

Three groups of singers launched by the same producer starred in the red and white song party at the same time, which is not unremarkable.

A few years ago, he also tried hard to show his face at the Red and White Song Conference to open up his popularity, and now not only can he refuse to be red and white, but also his subordinates will star, and the speed of this jump is not unfast.

As soon as the performance ended, Ye Zhao returned to his busy routine.

The first thing I did was to send press conference invitations to major media through the company, announcing the debut plan of a newcomer who changed his name to Mai Kuraki at his suggestion.

At the debut conference, Ye Zhao appeared with Mai Kuraki, answered reporters' questions one by one, and finally announced that she would release her debut single in the first week of November.

Before the end of the summer vacation, Mai Kuraki and Kumada returned from New York together, and continued to practice while going to school.

The difference is that Mai Kuraki has more formal agents, assistants, and costumes around her, and has also formed a team dedicated to her for her, and in addition to studying, she also goes in and out of the recording studio to produce her debut song.

In addition, the time to meet Ye Zhao has also increased significantly. Ye Zhao not only helped her record in the studio, but also helped her read the lyrics she wrote, and even inconsequential things in life, if she brought it up, Ye Zhao also listened patiently.

Actually, although Ye Zhao has made a lot of moves this year, Hirai Ken was outsourced to him by Defstar, not his descendant, although Satomi Natsukawa made achievements this year, but the debut plan was made from last year, and the planned album with five singers cannot be counted.

So, strictly speaking, the newcomer of the year he is preparing to launch in 1998 is Mai Kuraki.

Treat newcomers with high hopes, of course, take good care.

Mai Kuraki's mother has only one requirement for her daughter's debut, that is, she can't give up her studies, in contrast, Kanda Laimiko, who was selected in the same audition as her, their family's policy is that whatever the girl says.

Therefore, Kanda Laimiko had no intention of going to university early on, and Mai Kuraki always studied and worked at the same time.

And now, Kanda Laimiko, who is ready to enter the art world, is still an ordinary student girl who can't be ordinary anymore and is waiting for her debut, Mai Kuraki, who is looking for a balance between study and work, is about to make her debut.

lives under the same roof, and is selected in the same audition, even if she already knew about it when she was in New York, Ye Zhao also gave her a vaccination, and Kanda Laiweizi still felt a little lost.

Both lost and unwilling. However, there are no complaints.

If you really want to talk about it, those low emotions also come from yearning: Mai Kuraki is about to live the life she yearns for.

Ye Zhao knew Kanda Laiweizi's thoughts, but he didn't think so.

It is true that the mental health of teenagers should be paid attention to, but in this cruel world, if you can't even resist this little thing, it is better to go home and be a big lady.

With less than three months left in 1998, the debut plan for a newcomer has been announced. While some people are focusing on the newcomer's debut, others are thinking about the future, Ye Zhao probably won't have any personal music plans.

Compared to his popular career as a producer, he has not delivered any best-selling songs in his solo singing career this year, because so far this year, he has not released any works in his personal name at all.

This is quite abnormal for a singer who is still in his prime.

Another person who has done this recently is his good friend, Masaharu Fukuyama, who left his career at his peak to study photography.

And just when everyone thought that his personal music activities this year would be so smooth and uneventful, and some people even secretly guessed in their hearts that he planned to concentrate on behind-the-scenes production, Ye Zhao's personal disc newspaper was finally released.

He chose to release a new single in the last week of the 1998 chart's deadline, barely missing out that year.
