Chapter 512: The First Gramophone
Qu Bi.
A song of 4 minutes and 10 seconds, under the tense and precise performance of THE SUN, ended...
After "e Are Young", the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi bowed deeply and then retired from the stage.
This is their Grammy debut.
But, definitely not the last!
Being able to get the Grammy's performance opportunity is already a special case for the Grammys to see the face of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's Sony Records shareholder and the richest man in Japan.
Probably, also an alternative compensation ...
Because, in the next Best Newcomer Award, THE SUN was undoubtedly defeated by Adele, watching the British fat chick of the same age as them take down the heavy gramophone.
However, after winning the award, Adele also mischievously teased several alternate singers, including Duffy, who is also from the UK, and THE SUN, who has just met.
This is also what made the name of THE SUN ring in the ears of audiences watching the Grammys around the world again.
The impact of the Grammys is unimaginable.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who applauded Adele in the audience, looked at it with a smile, and the fat girl from England on the stage couldn't help but feel grateful to her in his heart.
"This stupid big sister... ”
The performance on the Grammys is just a small episode of this wonderful Grammy.
However, it is a very important moment for the entertainment industry in Japan, and even for the entire entertainment industry.
Perhaps, on the stage of the Grammys, there has been a huge change in the popularity of THE SUN in Europe and the United States, and more people know their names and songs.
However, the sensation caused in Europe and the United States is far less than the huge impact caused by THE SUN's own home base.
From the moment Kiyoshi Sakamoto stepped onto the stage of the Grammys, THE SUN has created a record that is difficult to break in the Japanese music scene and even in the Asian music scene!
Asia's first band to perform on the Grammy stage!
At the same time, it is also the second Asian musician in Grammy's history to perform on stage after last year's pianist Lang Lang!
It can be said that this music Oscar brought THE SUN not only global popularity, but also a sudden rise in the status of the historical music scene.
When the trio performed, the whole of Japan watched, and the three young boys who scored shyly performed music from Asia and Japan in front of more than a billion viewers around the world!
Everyone was excited.
Because, this represents the Japanese music scene, and there is finally a (group) of international music superstars, in the true sense of the word!!
Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the others did not know that at this moment, in Japan, except for the "TV station mudslide" TV Tokyo, all TV stations, including the national television station NHK, are broadcasting the Grammy award ceremony.
Although being shortlisted for the Grammys is the biggest affirmation of THE SUN in the European and American music circles.
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the three of them are still eager to bring a gramophone as a precious memento of this Grammy trip!
They pinned this expectation on the best rock songs.
As a criticized "pork" awards ceremony, the Grammys, which have more than 100 awards, will definitely not be able to award all the awards in the live broadcast screen in just a few hours.
Therefore, many inconsequential awards are directly awarded to the winning singers during the live broadcast by name on stage.
Even, in such a way of receiving the award, the winner will not appear in the live broadcast, and there will not even be a chance to give an acceptance speech...
And THE SUN's shortlisted Best Rock Single is such an "insignificant" award...
Because of this, even after the performance, the Japanese audience could no longer see THE SUN on TV, and they waited for the award ceremony to end without regret.
Because, they want to pass the complete list of winners after the award ceremony, and confirm whether THE SUN, which represents the whole of Japan and the whole of Asia, can get a golden gramophone!
Can we do it again and become the first band in Asia to win a Grammy Award?!
The waiting time is always tormenting.
Whether it's waiting for your girlfriend's time while the cold wind blows at the place where you meet, or the time you toss and turn in bed while waiting for a reply after confessing to someone...
However, those moments may be beautiful precisely because they are worth the wait.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the 51st Grammy Awards came to an end with the performance of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, the biggest winners of the year, all five nominations...
This is a fierce confrontation between the British and American pop scenes!
This year's Grammys won half of the four awards in the "General category" with the United Kingdom and the United States each part.
Adele won Best New Artist, Coldplay won Song of the Year, and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss won the rest of the album and production of the year.
And for such an American music award, and it has always been a music award in an international pop music center country, this proportion of awards is almost a failure of the United States!
However, the highlight of this year's Grammys, which made people talk about afterwards, was not only a "reciprocal" showdown with British and American singers at the world's most famous music event.
What is even more eye-catching is that this year's Grammys are favored by the Asian music scene, which has always been looked down upon.
The Asian band THE SUN, which released only one single, has won five nominations, including two "comprehensive category" awards for Best Song of the Year and Best Newcomer!
This is undoubtedly a huge victory for Japanese music, and a victory for Asian music to remember!
Especially when THE SUN, a young Asian band, took the stage to perform the brainwashing song "e Are Young", the audience in the camera also sang along.
This scene undoubtedly made the whole of Japan boiling!
You must know that Japan, which has always looked down on the United States, hates and loves the United States' concern.
Nowadays, THE SUN's performance is a great honor to make those European and American celebrities sway their bodies to the music, and it is enough to move the Japanese public.
Especially when they saw the news coming back from Los Angeles after the award ceremony, the whole of Japan cheered for THE SUN.
That's a photo.
A freshly baked photo.
However, the meaning contained in that photo is not simple.
I saw that in the photo, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was holding a gramophone in his hand, and laughed at the camera under the hook of the excited Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki!
