Chapter 686: Seven Nominations

After eating, he appeased Shirahashi Shichiban again, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi sent the three of them home one by one.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, there is still the smell of girls in his nose.

On the way back, Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought a lot.

In fact, the level of Baiqiao 73 people is not so bad.

According to Uncle Ishida's previous report, Shirahashi's strength in all aspects is not inferior to all the idols in the active service.

Even in terms of singing, it can be said that everyone in AKB has exploded.

It's just that Sakamoto Kiyoshi's expectations for the three of them are too high, and after seeing the substandard performance, the huge sense of gap caused him to be so disappointed...

This time, it made Sakamoto Kiyoshi understand that acting skills such as singing, dancing, and acting skills are important.

However, psychological qualities such as stress resistance and self-regulation are also very noteworthy.

In the entertainment industry, it is difficult to make a difference without a strong heart.

Looking through the car window and looking at the high-rise buildings outside, Sakamoto Kiyoshi had words in his mouth.

"It seems that before debut, psychological counseling is the most important thing... ”

。。。。。。

February 14th.

It was Valentine's Day, but Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not have time to accompany Yui Aragaaki, but took a private jet and arrived in Los Angeles, the "City of Angels" in the United States.

Traveling with him,There are also Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki。。。

The reason why the three of them came to the United States at this point in time was entirely because of an invitation from across the ocean.

"It is my great pleasure to inform you that the 53rd annual Grammy Awards will be held on the 22nd of this month, in conjunction with the Staples Center in Los Angeles... ”

That's right, THE SUN has been invited by the world's most famous and prestigious music awards ceremony, the Grammys!

This is all thanks to THE SUN's debut all-English album, The First Light, which was released on Christmas Day 2009.

Released on December 25, 2009, "The First Light" topped the UK album chart and topped the Billboard 200 album chart in its first week of release.

After that, "The First Light" also sang all the way, and sales remained high.

Although, the 2010 global album of the year champion was "Recovery" belonging to Eminem, the king of white rap.

More than 6 million copies worldwide, and 3.6 million in the United States, are enough to make him the best-selling artist in 2010.

However, "The First Light" relied on a number of high-quality songs and global hype to become the most compelling band of 2010!

As of February 2011, "The First Light" reached the top 10 of the global album charts with a staggering sales of 2 million copies in the United States and 5 million copies worldwide (mainly in Japan).

It is worth mentioning that as the main track of the album and the warm-up single, "Radioactive" has also sold nearly five million copies (including music downloads) worldwide, ranking in the top 10 of the global singles chart.

What surprised the public even more was that Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Taylor's "Somebody That I Used to Kno" also relied on Taylor's super popularity and the delicate emotions expressed in the song, selling 4 million copies and becoming the most popular male and female chorus song of the year!

With such a good result, it is naturally impossible for the Grammy judges to turn a blind eye.

AS A RESULT, THE SUN WAS INVITED TO THE GRAMMYS FOR THE SECOND TIME.

Not only that, but compared to the obscurity of the last time he attended the Grammys, THE SUN is menacing this time.

On the list of Grammy nominations announced not long ago, THE SUN has seven nominations, second only to Eminem, who leads with ten nominations, and Bruno Mars, who has nine nominations, becoming the band with the most nominations in this year's Grammys!

After two years, THE SUN has launched an attack on the Grammys with a more mature attitude!

Live performances at the Grammys often have big-name singers joining.

Eminem, a strong contender for the best album of the year, sang two divine comedies in a row, namely with "Shandong Diva" Rihanna, dedicated a song "Love The ay You Lie", and then collaborated with Dr. Dre and Skylar Grey on "I Need A Doctor".

The cooperation of the four of them also became one of the most shocking performances of the night.

Speaking of collaborative performances, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Taylor Swift's surprise performance of "Somebody That I Used to Kno" also made the audience cheer.

However, the highlight of the night was the performance of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.

In a tribute to legendary soul singer Solomon Bock, rock star Mick Jagger showed his unique understanding of soul songs, and successfully ignited the passion of the audience with his interpretation of Solomon's hit single "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" released in 1964.

Until the awards in the comprehensive category, this year's Grammys have achieved their purpose - to entertain the public.

Whether it's Kiyoshi Sakamoto's chorus with last year's big winner Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga's surreal eggshell outfit, Justin Bieber's song skewer, Katy Perry's flying angel performance and Cee Lo Green's turkey outfit performance, they all attract the attention of the mainstream public to the greatest extent

However, when it came time to award the awards, "Grammys" changed from face-to-face actors to harsh judges.

The Best Newcomer of the Year Award, which was presented first, became the first high-profile award of the night.

Among the nominees for the award, Justin Bieber, the super popular king, and THE SUN, Asia's top band that is gradually making a name for themselves in the atmosphere around the world, have the highest demand for awards.

Whoever wins the award will be possible, but THE SUN still won this award with an extremely high-quality album and amazing sales that are not inferior to those of their opponents!

When it was the turn to award the most important album of the year, it broke out the biggest upset of this year's Grammys!

Originally, the media unanimously agreed that this award was in Eminem's pocket.

Who knows, the Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire, like a big dark horse that came out of the reins, took away the best album of the year!

At this award, the Grammys once again reaffirmed their bottom line, which is: conservative.

For the recognition of rap music, "Grammy" has always been conservative, because rap music itself is a controversial type of music, and "Grammy" is almost a change of color for controversy, so at the awards ceremonies over the years, rap music has never taken advantage of the comprehensive awards, this time, even if it is expected, Aminem still missed for the third time and failed to win the "Album of the Year".

Compared with the "Best Newcomer of the Year" and "Best Album of the Year", the other two comprehensive awards are awarded, but it once again confirms that the Grammys' love for country music is almost partial.

In the final prize round, the new country group Lady Antebellum won the "Production of the Year" and "Song of the Year" with a melodic and beautiful lyrics "Need You No"!

It also drew an incomplete end to this grand event in the music industry...
