On December 30th, the 48th Japan Record Awards was held at the New National Theater in Honmachi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo!

The Tokyo New National Theater, known as Asia's leading opera house, is located in Honmachi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, adjacent to Tokyo Opera City in Shinjuku-ku.

Founded in February 1997, it is an important venue for opera, ballet, contemporary dance and drama, and is very popular with the Japanese public.

The Tokyo New National Theater, designed by Takahiko Yanagisawa and the TAK Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning, covers an area of 25,500 m2 and has a construction area of 68,900 square meters, including three theaters: large, medium and small, a 1,810-seat opera house, a 1,010-seat theater and a 440-seat experimental theater, as well as other supporting and business buildings.

Since the 2004 Japan Record Awards moved here, the Grand Theater of the New National Theater has held two record awards.

And this year, it's the third time.

The 2006 Record Awards, after careful consideration by TBS and the organizers, the Japan Composers Association and the Japan Record Awards Organizing Committee, in order to stagger the time with the Red and White Song Festival and save the declining ratings, from this year, the Record Awards will be held one day earlier from the original December 31st, which is to be held on December 30th.

In this way, not to mention other artists, it is very good news for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a busy man.

After all, he doesn't want to have to go back and forth on the same day every year, on both sides of the Red and White Song Club and the Record Awards...

That feeling,It's really physically and mentally exhausting.,But it's also a common phenomenon of popular artists.。。。

。。。。。。

With the holding of the award ceremony, several key words will appear frequently.

Red carpet, dresses, handsome guys, beautiful women...

However, compared with the Film Academy Awards, there are film and television award ceremonies such as the Japanese Drama Academy Awards, and music award ceremonies, which are less eye-catching and more pure.

Unlike the actresses competing on the red carpet, there is no red carpet outside the New National Theatre, the venue for the Record Awards.

In other words, the thing of walking the red carpet does not exist at all...

All the singers and guests who participated in the record awards walked directly into the theater, found the seats that had been arranged, sat down, and quietly waited for the award ceremony to begin.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Makoto Ogawa, and Masaki Chiba are no exception.

At 6:30 p.m., night has fallen in Tokyo.

The three members of the band SUN were already sitting in the Grand Theater of the New National Theater.

The Grand Theater, which can accommodate 1810, is already full at this time, and in 2006, the singers and audiences who had a wide influence on the Japanese music scene were born.

There are mainstream singers such as コブクロ (bitter cola), mihimaru GT, BOA, Koda Raimi, Otsuka Ai, etc., as well as non-mainstream singers such as Mizumori and Hikawa Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the SUN band, this year and the same as last year, both Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN have won the gold award candidates.

The finalists are Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "ひまわり", and THE SUN's "Lei".

Other shortlisted at the same time include: "君という名の翼" by コブクロ, "One Sword" by Kiyoshi Hikawa, "Dream のうた" by Koda Laiwei, "Love Photo" by Ai Otsuka, "ボクノート" by スキマスイッチ (infinite switch) and so on.

However, as Kiyoshi Sakamoto speculated, among these people, there are only two people who are the biggest obstacle to Kiyoshi Sakamoto or THE SUN winning the award.

Koda is not in the past, and Kiyoshi Hikawa is in the background.

And it just so happened that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was sitting next to these two seniors, so after he sat down, the first thing he did was to greet his "biggest opponents".

Although they are opponents, these two people, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has seen them at last year's record awards, and they can be regarded as acquaintances, so Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not very restrained when he speaks.

"Koda-san, glacier-san, empty half night (good evening)!

Turning their heads, Koda Laiwei and Hikawa Kiyoshi both saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a smile on his face.

They couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

"There has been, my opponent. ”

Glacier Kiyoshi thought to himself.

Interestingly, Koda was thinking the same thing in his heart at this time.

"Empty half night!Sakamoto-kun!"

No matter how much you think about it in your heart, you still have to keep smiling on the surface.

The two also simply said hello and were ready to turn back.

However, Koda didn't look like he wanted to talk to Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

She glanced at Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaki Ogawa and Masaki Chiba sitting next to her, and said, "Yo, you guys are still as handsome as ever, you deserve to be the most handsome band in Japan!"

In the tone, it is obvious that he is ridiculing the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Generally speaking, when THE SUN participates in a large-scale awards ceremony or a large-scale performance occasion such as red and white, he will attend in a slim-fitting suit.

It's just the color.

Regarding the styling of the band, Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not let the company's stylists do it, but referred to the styling of a future Korean band, CNBLUE, and added some accessories that meet the aesthetic vision of neon, as well as some small details of rock, to create such a set of band performance uniforms.

That is, on the basis of a slim suit, tie a rock-style silk scarf at the wrist, or insert a flower in the pocket of the suit to add some vitality and vitality to the whole serious look.

After all, the average age of the three is only 17.3 years old, although the three of them are all in good shape, all of them are more than 1.75 meters, and they are so handsome when they wear suits, but, judging from their immature faces, the three of them are still minors, so it is still necessary to add some small accessories to maintain a sense of youth.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto's advanced sense of fashion also maximizes the handsomeness and charm of the three bands, and also makes THE SUN quickly become the object of pursuit by major fashion magazines and a nationally recognized handsome band.

In a recent questionnaire survey conducted by an unknown TV station, a question was asked to 1,000 people of all ages from all over the country.

That is, "What do you think is the most handsome band, or group, right now?"

And out of a thousand, more than 300 people chose THE SUN!

It is conceivable how high the popularity and public recognition of THE SUN are now!

And TV Asahi, who has a good relationship with Sony, also won the SUN as "Japan's most handsome band", which is a more ridiculous news. . .

And the three Sakamoto Kiyoshi who heard the news were also very speechless about this.

This is also why, Koda came to the future, and he used this to ridicule the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Because, these pheasant lists, or questionnaires, do not have much fairness and authority at all, even if they win the first place, it will not help the development of THE SUN.

At most, after letting Ogawa Zhen, the "calm brother", know, he said, "Oh,So we are the most handsome band in Japan?", there was no follow-up...

So,After hearing Sister Koda Laiwei ridicule herself,Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the three of them felt a little ashamed.,I also complained about the pheasant questionnaire in my heart.。。。

Although he knew that he and Kiyoshi Sakamoto were opponents, Koda was still in a very happy mood when facing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's handsome face.

Therefore, before the start of the big prize, Sister Koda Laiwei was chatting with Kiyoshi Sakamoto all the time.

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi has maintained a superficial sense of familiarity with people after more than two years of growth in talking to people.

Just when Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Koda were sitting on the side and chatting hotly, the opening music of the 48th Record Awards finally sounded.

After hearing the opening music, Kiyosai Sakamoto and Koda did not stop talking and sat upright.

The master of ceremonies of the record awards, the old man Sakai Masaaki, with two beautiful emcees, Oshiche も�え and Yuri Yuri Yuhara, stood on the stage of the theater and began to talk about the opening remarks.

"Welcome to the 48th Japan Record Awards, today is December 30th, 2006 is one day away, let... ”

On both sides of the old man who has hosted the eleventh consecutive year, there are two beautiful women who are taller than him, and this "concave" height and cute combination also makes the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV feel novel and funny.

The atmosphere of the scene may also be affected by this "concave" height and cute combination, which is very relaxed and happy.

In this atmosphere, the 48th Record Awards in 2006 officially began.

After three and a half hours of live broadcast, the first few groups of singers and groups selected for the Newcomer Award have already spent half an hour performing in the performance.

Forty minutes after the start of the big prize, the first major prize was announced.

Winners of the Newcomer Award are: Aika, SunSet Sish, Yamamoto Akimoto, and aT.

It is worth mentioning that while the awards are going on, the members of the Record Awards Formulation Committee are also discussing who will win the awards.

This is done to ensure the fairness of the awards.

However, everything is not so absolute.

The list of singers who won the gold award was announced in advance.

And for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is aiming for the big awards, all the previous awards are not about himself and THE SUN, even if he wants to perform, he will not go to the stage until the ten groups of gold award singers are introduced.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still didn't dare to relax, and still pretended to have an expression of "I'm watching the performance seriously" and sat straight in his seat, as did Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba.

Because, they know that the camera will definitely take special care of them, not only the three of them, but even Koda Laiwei and Glacier Kiyoshi, the two strong candidates for the big awards, are all sitting there with a serious face, looking at the stage very seriously, and the awards are being awarded one by one.
