December 31, 2010.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

NHK Concert Hall, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.

In the lounge, unlike in previous years, the three SUN, who officially served as the hosts of the Red and White Song Party as a band group, wore traditional Japanese costumes, kimonos.

It's just that, compared with the ease of previous years, this year's red and white is a little headache for the three of THE SUN...

No, two people to be exact.

It is necessary to have to rehearse the performance in advance and memorize the thick stack of host scripts, which makes Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki, two young people who are acting as MCs of such a large stage for the first time, also very nervous and uneasy.

Don't look at the two of Ogawa and Chiba Masaki, they have been debuting for six years and are already big names in the music world.

However, I was still nervous.

After all, the two are only 22 years old...

However, when I saw someone sitting firmly in the lounge, smiling while holding a mobile phone and messaging with his girlfriend, although he felt that it was an eyesore, he even wanted to beat him.

However, the hearts of the two couldn't help but relax a lot.

"Anyway, and him... ”

For THE SUN, for Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, the existence of Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not only the captain and leader, but also the backbone and pillar of the two!

As long as he is by his side, the two of them will feel that a force is emerging from their bodies!

What's more, they know how terrifying Sakamoto's memory is...

Even if he is the host of red and white alone, he is not afraid of stuck, silent, awkward chats and other broadcast accidents.

Thinking about it this way, the huge pressure in the hearts of Ogawa Zhen and Chiba Masaki has also been put down a lot.

As for Kiyoshi Sakamoto?

After this guy recorded his own script, as well as the scripts of his teammates, into the database in his head, he has been passing on text messages with his girlfriend.

"Where are you, in the apartment, or are you back in Okinawa?"

"In Okinawa... ”

"Oh, that is, you are now watching red and white with your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sisters-in-law?" Thinking about it, Sakamoto Kiyoshi smiled evilly and pressed such a sentence.

He was curious, when he saw such a title, what kind of expression would be on the face of the giant Lori?

Embarrassed?blushing but liking?or...

Soon, less than ten seconds, there was a "drop", and her reply came!

"??????" is a series of question marks first, and then the text: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law?!Sister-in-law?!Yabai, you big idiot, what are you talking about?!"

Judging from the text, Sakamoto Kiyoshi felt that the giant Lori was nine times out of ten, "Well, it should be shy." ”

Before he could think of the second message, Yui Aragaki's second message came soon.

"Huh?" opened it, Sakamoto cleared it for a moment, and then laughed, "Hahaha!"

The content of the newsletter reads:

"Yo roar! Sakamoto-kun, we haven't agreed yet, marry our cutest sister to you!

Pull down, and there's a PS: "Dear brother-in-law... ”

Judging from the text message, Sakamoto Kiyoshi immediately made up an interesting picture in his mind: Yui Aragaki who was watching red and white with his family and sending a text message to Sakamoto Kiyoshi was discovered by his two naughty sisters, and his mobile phone was snatched away and sent such a text message.

This is also the reason why Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly laughs.

For this, he was also subjected to, from not far away, two single dogs who were sorting out their clothes, angry eyes.

Ignoring the slightly resentful eyes of the two, Sakamoto Kiyoyoshi wanted to continue replying, but was interrupted by the staff who walked into the lounge.

"Sakamoto-san, Ogawa-san, Chiba-san, please get ready to play. ”

"Good!"

agreed, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also hurriedly pressed a few words and sent out the last text message before going on stage.

"Okay, I'll try!"

。。。

"The singers gathered here tonight, please give us their best performances!"

"Strive for a higher level, and by competing with each other, please let us enjoy everyone's songs!"

"Red and White Song Battle, Open!"

With the opening speech of golf prodigy Ryo Ishikawa, the 61st NHK Red and White Song Battle has officially kicked off!

"I will connect with the song and fight the 61st NHK red and white song!"

The three SUN wearing kimonos, as well as the hostess Nao Matsushita, with an order from the four of them, from the stairs behind, tonight's singers also made a shining appearance!

The first to appear is the idol girl group with a lot of history with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, AKB48 with a large number of people!

Subsequently, one singer after another walked down the ladder one after another.

"AKB-san, Ayaka-san in the plains, Kana-san Nishino... ”

"Flumpool-san, FUNNY MONKEY BABYS-SAN, TOKIO-SAN... ”

Under the introduction of SUN and Nao Matsushita, the singers of the red and white groups all waved to the audience.

It is worth mentioning that in the past five red and white song battles, the white group composed of male singers won the final victory.

Therefore, when shouting slogans, the three SUN also shouted "Everyone, we want to aim for six consecutive wins, come on!"

The momentum is much stronger than that of Sister Panasonic who is fighting alone. . .

The red-and-white pattern is still the same.

The red group sends a singer, and after singing, the white group sends a singer to fight against them.

Finally, according to the number of votes of the audience, the winner of the red and white sides is decided.

On the red and white stage, in addition to the host who is constantly shaking in front of him, the singer who is the opening and finale is the most concerned.

At the beginning of this year, not surprisingly, it was handed over to Ayumi Hamasaki, the "first sister of Japan" in the transition period.

Although THE SUN's single swept the entire Japanese music scene.

However, in 2010, there was a trend of idol groups in Japan, and the new AKB48 and Arashi gradually occupied the top few places on the public list.

The Korean Wave has fermented in Japan, and groups such as TVXQ, BigBang, and Girls' Generation have all achieved good results on the public trust list.

However, Ayumi Hamasaki, who is now in his 12th year since his debut, is still actively publishing various works, innovating music and styling styles, and setting many records for him.

Therefore, the opening responsibility still falls on her shoulders.

Counting this year, this is the third consecutive year that Ayumi Hamasaki has served as the red and white opener!

"Next, then, please enjoy Ayumi Hamasaki's special performance, Virgin Road!"

The rhythm of the music sounded, the lights dimmed, and just when the audience was looking for Ayumi Hamasaki's figure, Ayumi Hamasaki's very distinctive voice came from behind the audience.

"I haven't been able to say it properly... ”
