The list of hosts of the 61st Red and White Song Club, which has attracted much attention, will be officially announced at 10 a.m. on November 3!

The chief host is still the host of NHK, Wataru Abe.

The host of the red group, not surprisingly, is served by Nao Matsushita, who became popular for starring in the morning drama "Strange Wife".

As for the host of the white group, it was unexpected by everyone, and it was played by the national band THE SUN under Sony Music!

NHK's astonishing decision made the whole of Japan, at this time of the year, completely boiling!

The host of the red group, needless to say, is not surprising.

But!

The candidate for the white group made the public dumbfounded, and even exclaimed!

"JJJ!" (This stalk, ama fans all know it!)

It's not Masahiro Nakai, who is a familiar face, or Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has a very high voice, but THE SUN?!

The major media that didn't expect NHK to play like this were also dumbfounded.

You know, since the establishment of Red and White, there has been no such precedent!

The election of THE SUN band directly created a record for more than 60 years: the first group host in history!

As for why it will be used this year, the three-member band group, as the host of the Red and White Song Club and the chief producer of the Red and White Song Club, Keisuke Inoue, has explained this as follows:

"THE SUN is a very united group, it has been 6 years since its establishment, and although the three members have their own work in various fields, when they are together, they feel like a family, and they can make people feel the strong friendship that continues to be cut, which is very much in line with the theme of this year's Red and White Song Party of 'Connecting You and Me with Singing'. ”

"Moreover, this year's Red and White Song Festival is a new milestone after the 60th glory, and we also hope to innovate in terms of hosts. With the band as the host, there will be more room for adjustment to the performance, and we are very much looking forward to what changes will be made. I hope you will enjoy it too. ”

Of course, all of the above is an official statement.

It is no longer news that red and white hosts seek innovation.

It was precisely because of the consideration of the younger red and white that NHK finally chose the younger THE SUN between SUN and Arashi!

Arashi and THE SUN are both very popular groups among young people.

Lan Sheng has a large number of members, high exposure, often releases records, and frequently appears in dramas;

The SUN, on the other hand, has a high status, higher quality and singing of songs, strong fan cohesion, and both men and women.

On top of that, THE SUN also has a bug-like Kiyoshi Sakamoto!

One person can be in one group, music, acting, directing, producing, all-round talents who can do anything!

How does this fight?!

Lan: It's not that we're too scumbag, it's that the enemy is too strong!

In any case, with THE SUN taking over the microphone from Zhongju Zhengguang and becoming the new red and white host, it is also making the red and white song club enter a new era.

An era called "THE SUN".

。。。。。。

On November 24th, with the public's expectant gaze, the 61st Red and White Song Club singer lineup list was officially announced!

The red and white teams, a total of 44 groups of singers faced off.

The opening singer of the red group is Aiko, and the opening singer of the white group is Arashi.

And the first time to participate in the Red and White Song Festival are AAA, Kana Nishino, Hana Uemura and others.

However, there are no Korean groups such as BigBang, Kara, and Girls' Generation, which were reported in the Japanese and Korean media earlier.

According to the Japanese newspaper "Sport Japan" on the 21st, after the news of "Kara Red and White vs. BigBang" was published, major Japanese newspapers quoted this headline, and even South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" and "JoongAng Ilbo" also quoted this news.

In addition, this year, the Hallyu has swept across Asia, and Hallyu groups such as BigBang, Kara, and Girls' Generation have also been active in Japan recently, so there is no doubt about the veracity of the report.

However, judging from the list, the total annihilation of the Hallyu singer group this time surprised the public.

Unlike the scene of the Korean Wave encountering the "cold snap", Sony Music, led by THE SUN, is smiling.

In this year's Red and White Song Party, Sony Music can be described as infinitely beautiful!

The number of singers who appeared exceeded the previous year's high, reaching as many as four groups!

In addition to THE SUN, the "No. 1 band in Japan" that appears every year, there is also the debut of Kana Nishino, the "Girl Leader" who has begun to be very popular with girls, and the return of the national band Rainbow Band, which is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

THE SUN was selected as the host of the white group of this year's Red and White Song Club, becoming the first group to host the red and white in history.

With this, the performance of the "Sony Legion" led by THE SUN is also one of the biggest attractions of this year's Red and White Song Festival.

As soon as the lineup of red and white singers came out, it also meant that in 2010, there was less than a month left.

In the last month of 2010, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was still very busy.

Due to the stranding of the film project of "Code Name M", he has to re-select a film as the second film of "SMA Film Production"!

And, because he also had to take into account next year's Nogizaka debut plan, in the end, after careful consideration, he chose a youth movie that won numerous awards and caused social topics.

。。。

"What?!You say it again?!"

"You heard me ... ”

"You mean, next year we are not afraid of "Code M", but start filming "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire?!!"

With Uncle Ishida's exclamation, the answer was about to come out.

That's right, Kiyoshi Sakamoto chose "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire", a youth film that was later regarded as a classic, as his second directing work, and the second film produced exclusively by SMA!

As early as the beginning of this year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked his script team to buy the film adaptation rights of "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire" from the original author Liao Chaoi.

Kiyomoto Sakamoto wants to wait until Nogizaka debuts before starting to shoot this movie, and by the way, he can bring Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino, two core members who have the potential to take the actor route.

Who knows, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the postponement of "Codename M" forced Kiyoshi Sakamoto to start filming "I Heard Kirishima is going to retire" ahead of schedule.

Still, that's fine.

In this way, the film and Nogizaka can be implemented at the same time to achieve a complementary effect.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's mind was like Sherlock Holmes for a moment, and it was running at high speed.

If the members of Nogizaka participate in the movie, what impact will it have on Nogizaka, who has not yet debuted?

If Nogizaka, who had just debuted, sang the theme song of the movie "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire", what impact would it have?

Thinking of these possibilities, Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't help but smile.

"Just let me write, a new Nogizaka!"
