ډ�J����=�)2���mؠ}/�t�h|U Spot, when the moonlight in Tokyo is already reflected in the bustling streets of Shibuya, the three of THE SUN are already sitting in the Grand Theater of the New National Theater.
The 50th Japan Record Awards is about to be revealed here!
The 1,810-seat theater was already full.
B'z, Namie Amuro, EXILE and other familiar faces all appeared in the theater.
The three SUN, who are participating in the record awards for the fifth time, are all sitting in their designated positions with calm faces, waiting for the award ceremony to begin.
Judging from the calm expressions of the three of them, I have to say that they have grown very rapidly in the past few years.
From a popular newcomer band, in just a few years, it has become a national band, and even broke out of Asia and went to the world.
I have to sigh that time is really a magical thing...
It can make the pain dissipate, it can make people grow, and it can even make life disappear...
Some of the singers and audiences who participated in the 46th Record Awards five years ago suddenly had a strong feeling as if they were the next day when they looked at THE SUN.
It seems that five years ago, the three teenagers who participated in the record awards for the first time and were so nervous that they didn't know what to do, and the three big boys who are now sitting there calmly, in a trance, the figures continue to coincide...
Same place, same people, different feelings.
The entertainment industry can be said to be a big dye vat that can polish people the most, and it is also the one that can pollute people the most.
After a few years of hard work, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi have changed, not only in age, height, and status, but also in terms of maturity.
At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was chatting with his teammates around him.
chatted and chatted, and naturally chatted, tonight's awards ceremony, which is about whether they can establish their status as big names in the music world in one fell swoop...
I saw him squinting his eyes and mysteriously turning sideways to Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, and said, "By the way, do you know?"
"Uh, what do you know?"
When both of them looked at him with puzzled eyes, Sakamoto Kiyoshi crossed Erlang's legs and said triumphantly.
"I listened to what President Kitagawa said, he said, our big prize this time is three times in a row, and nine out of ten are stable!"
"?!!" The two exclaimed in surprise, and Chiba Masaki, who was impatient, hurriedly asked, "Really?!Did the president really say that?!"
"Hmm!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto nodded vigorously, and then couldn't help but chuckle, "So, are you ready for your acceptance speech?"
Hearing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words, Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki did not answer, but glanced at each other inexplicably, and invariably smiled.
"Uh, what's the situation with you two? gay in gay, angry, evil... Looking at the two of them full of affection, Sakamoto Kiyoshi hugged himself and looked at the two of them with disgust, wanting to vomit.
The two ignored his performance, reaching into the trouser pocket of their suit and pulling out a note.
"It's been ready for a long time!"
Looking at the two of them who had such a tacit understanding, Sakamoto Kiyoshi could only be speechless.
"Damn... ”
"What about your acceptance speech?" asked Masaki Chiba.
"Here it is... Kiyoshi Sakamoto pointed to his head and said with a look of trepidation.
"Damn... ”
This time, it was the turn of Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba.
For this unforgettable guy, Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki are both envious, jealous and hateful.
"Why is this shameless, thick-skinned obscene guy who can withstand an atomic bomb get so much favor from God?!"
"Damn... ”
Of course, this is just an occasional complaint between the two.
As the members of the band that have the most contact with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, they have the most say on this issue...
They know very well that behind the success of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, in addition to his memory, learning ability, and creative talent, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's efforts in private are no less than anyone else's.
They have seen that Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not go out of the room for a week in order to compose songs, and the papers full of lyrics and music scores were scattered all over the ground...
I've also seen Sakamoto Kiyoshi go to filming, which caused the band's practice time to be drastically reduced, and in order to keep up with the progress of his teammates, he practiced alone in the practice room...
Kiyoshi Sakamoto's achievements today are not innate, they are all achieved through acquired struggle.
If you don't work hard, even if you are talented, you will be out of the crowd.
This is also the reason why the two of them admire Kiyoshi Sakamoto very much in their hearts.
It's not just because, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the one who brought them into the circle and deeply believes in their Bole...
What's more, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's personal charm makes them sigh in their hearts.
"The genius who works hard is the most admirable!"
。。。
Time is passing, and the 50th Record Awards are also going on in an orderly manner.
First the opening performance, then it begins, giving out those inconsequential awards.
It is worth mentioning that this year's Best Newcomer Award was awarded to a "foreigner", a black brother, ジェロ.
When he saw the black brother's performance after receiving the award, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was drinking water, almost squirted out a mouthful of water.
When a black guy wears a hip-hop style costume but sings a song with a strong Japanese national style, the picture is simply too disobedient.
Let Sakamoto Kiyoshi wonder if he went to the wrong set...
Fortunately, in addition to this somewhat bizarre award, the next awards were so bland that there were no surprises at all.
Those who should have won the prize have been taken, and those who should have gone up to perform have also gone up to perform.
Time unconsciously came to the end of the award ceremony.
Finally, when ten gold prize winners, that is, the big prize candidates, appeared on the big screen on the stage, there was now a loud applause.
Because, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the SUN band, as in previous years, whether it is Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself or THE SUN, they all won the gold award and became the award candidate again!
It also increased the number of consecutive candidates for the Grand Prix from four to five!
For five years in a row, both the individual and the band have been on the list for the Grand Prix is an astonishing record, and in the last four years, they have won three of them, only in 2005!
With such a record, it can be said that Sakamoto is the most successful singer in the history of the Record Awards since its inception more than 40 years ago!
One big award for individuals, two big awards for bands!
If we win tonight's big award again, needless to say, THE SUN's promotion to a big name in the music world is a foregone conclusion!
That's why Sony and THE SUN attach great importance to the attribution of this big prize.
After all, if you don't have enough qualifications, you can make up for the big prize!
