Chapter 506: Grammy!
“。。。 That's the case. ”
From the waiting room to the plane, Kiyoshi Sakamoto listened tirelessly, Chiba Masaki did not stop chattering, and Ogawa really interjected from time to time.
"Well, that's good. From the words of the two, it can be heard that they are very welcome to the banana people to join.
In this way, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also relieved...
At this time, Xiao Chuan Zhen, who was sitting on his left and was listening to the song with headphones just now, suddenly asked.
"By the way, our nomination this time is five nominations, right?"
"Well, Best Song of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Rock Band/Group, Best Pop Group/Group, Best Rock Single... Before Sakamoto Kiyoshi answered, Chiba Masaki, who was sitting on Sakamoto's right, replied first, "Five!"
Looking at the stupid look of Chiba Masaki who was still folding his hands and counting, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Ogawa Shin exchanged a look, and both of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"This idiot ... ”
Just when the two of them were thinking like this in their hearts, Chiba Masaki suddenly became excited.
"Do you think we can win an award for the Grammys this time?!" Even if he was wearing an aviation seat belt, he couldn't stop Chiba Masaki's burning curiosity.
He ignored the fact that the plane was flying, and directly supported the back of the seat with his hands, and analyzed with a fluttering eyebrow.
"It stands to reason that we just released a single and have a very small chance of winning the award, but!" Masaki Chiba said, "I think we have sold seven million copies of our single worldwide!"
"And won the Billboard weekly list championship for three consecutive weeks, such a result, among newcomers, is also amazing... ”
"Others,I don't expect extravagance.,Best newcomer.,You can still look forward to a drop.。。。 ”
Chiba Masaki's analysis made the eyes of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Makoto Ogawa show surprise.
"Masaki, are you okay?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi suddenly asked with a worried face, and stretched out his hand to put it on Chiba Masaki's forehead, and asked, "This kid doesn't have a fever, right?"
"Huh?" Chiba Masaki looked confused and muttered back, "I don't have a fever!"
"If you don't have a fever, how can Masaki, who is usually stupid, suddenly become smarter?!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi couldn't help laughing, and teased Chiba Masaki seriously, "It must have burned out his brain, otherwise, how could he say such a calm analysis?"
。。。
"Damn!"
Chiba Masaki, who finally reacted, rolled his eyes and scolded speechlessly, "You just burned your brain... ”
"I'm always so smart, okay?!!"
"Hahaha!"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Shin Ogawa, who couldn't hold back the laughter anymore, laughed out loud.
After the fight, Kiyoshi Sakamoto leaned back in his chair and calmly said his analysis with his slender fingers while touching his knife-like chin.
"Although Masaki did a very good analysis and listed our award-winning advantages, but!"
"The chances of us getting the Best Newcomer award are slim to none!"
"Uh, why?!" This sentence is not like it at all, and the words that would come out of the mouth of such a confident person as Sakamoto Kiyoshi made Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki focus their surprised eyes on him at the same time.
However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto ignored their strange gaze and continued.
"Although we were shortlisted for the Grammys, we were also shortlisted for five nominations. ”
However, in addition to the two awards of Best Song of the Year and Best Newcomer of the Year, the three awards of Best Rock Band/Group, Best Pop Group/Group, and Best Rock Single are all very consoling awards. Sakamoto Kiyoshi said as he spoke, and his handsome eyebrows were also slightly wrinkled, "Moreover, our opponents are very strong!"
In fact, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has reservations about whether THE SUN can achieve the first zero breakthrough of a Japanese singer above the Grammys this time.
Even under Sony's deliberate publicity, THE SUN's first Grammy trip has received support and attention from all over Japan...
You know, when he saw the list of nominees for this year's Grammy Awards, he knew that the chance of THE SUN wanting to win was very small.
Not to mention, the Grammys are awards for Europeans and Americans, representing the highest honor in European and American music, and for Asian singers, congenital is not very fair.
TAKE THE OPPONENTS THAT THE SUN WILL FACE THIS TIME, THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST A LOT...
In the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto deliberated and through the method of elimination, identified the awards that were most likely to win.
That is, Best Rock Single!
Of the four nominations, the nomination for Song of the Year, is simply negligible.
Because, THE SUN, an Asian band, is simply not able to win one of the three awards for Song of the Year in the first Grammy.
So, don't think about it, the first one to be excluded is the song of the year.
Then, among the nominations received by THE SUN, the second most important thing after the song of the year was the Best Newcomer Award.
However, the chances of THE SUN winning this award are almost non-existent.
You know, on the Grammys that have blown a gust of British wind this year, there is a talented singer who can't be ignored,
It was a 19-year-old girl from England, Adele!
The current Adele is not the terrifying existence that was later called the Queen of Souls, on the Grammys, sweeping the world.
However, still, she relied on her infectious soul singing style to push herself to the world in one fell swoop.
The debut album has sold over 9 million copies worldwide!
There is no doubt that the Best Newcomer Award must belong to Adele.
Excluding the two general categories, the remaining three nominations are all categories of awards.
Among them, the best rock single in the rock category is the award that THE SUN, which became popular with the song "e Are Young", is the most likely to win.
Although facing competitors, the strength is still strong.
For example, bands such as Coldplay, Maroon 5, Eagles, Kings Of Leon, etc...
However, THE SUN, as the only seedling in Asia shortlisted for the Grammys, if under the operation of Sony, there is also the Grammy's best means of dividing the cake, maybe...
It's not impossible to win this award!
However, preparing for the worst is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's habit.
"So, we will probably get nothing this time... In order not to discourage the enthusiasm of the two, Sakamoto Kiyoshi still added, "However, we don't have to be presumptuous." ”
Kiyoshi Sakamoto stretched out his hand and patted it, and the teammates sitting next to him smiled and said, "You know, we are the first band in Asia to be shortlisted for the Grammys... ”
"And this is the first time we've been shortlisted for the Grammys, and we've been nominated for five times!"
"So, cheer up!"
"Hmm!" Ogawa and Chiba Masaki both nodded seriously.
After comforting his teammates, Kiyoshi Sakamoto stared at the invitation in his hand with his clear, dark and shiny eyes, and muttered to himself, "Grammy?"
I saw the whole black body he was holding tightly in his hand, with a Phnom Penh invitation letter, on which the words "51st Grammy" were written!
