It's still a little cold in February, which is the season when the major film awards ceremonies are in full bloom.

The Blue Ribbon Award for Japanese Films was established in 1950 as a Japanese film award, and is now organized by the Tokyo Film Press Association, which is composed of film reporters from seven major sports newspapers in Tokyo.

Strictly in terms of its history and selection criteria, the Blue Ribbon Award is the most authoritative film award in Japan, along with the Tenhobo Award and the Mainichi Film Awards.

As for the Japan Academy Film Awards, which are known as the "Oscars of Japan", because they are the only film awards in Japan that are broadcast on television, they are the most eye-catching film awards every year, and they are also known as the "Four Grand Prix in the film industry" along with the Blue Ribbon Award, the Tenhobo Awards, and the Mainichi Film Awards.

However, in terms of authority, it is still not as good as the Blue Ribbon Awards, the Film Newspaper Awards, and the Daily Movie Awards.

Because, the fairness and authority of the Japan Film Academy Awards are more controversial.

Because it is modeled after the American Academy Awards, the Japan Academy Film Awards, which was founded in 1978 and sponsored by the Japan Academy Awards Association, selects the major awards through the votes of the members of the association.

However, 30% of the members of the Japan Academy Awards Association are contracted employees of the traditional four major Japanese film companies: Toho, Shochiku, Toei, and Kadokawa Pictures.

Therefore, at the annual awards ceremony, the films produced by these four major film companies have the most chance to be nominated, and it is difficult for other film studios to be selected.

It is worth mentioning that in 1997, Japan's NTV TV was responsible for the broadcast of the award ceremony, and since then, NTV TV has invested in films that often win big awards at the Japan Academy Film Awards.

Just like in 2006, at the 29th Academy Film Awards, NTV TV's investment in "Forever Sanchome Sunset" won all 12 other awards except for Best Actress.

However, "Sunset in the Eternal Three-chome" did not have the quality to truly monopolize these awards, so after the results of the awards were announced, the Japanese Academy Association was criticized more harshly than ever.

And why, in the eyes of many foreigners, Japan's most famous film award is this film academy award, known as the "Japanese Oscar".

Because it is the only movie award in Japan that is shown on TV, the more people see it, the more famous it becomes, and this is very simple.

However, in the eyes of many professionals, although the awards of the Film Academy Awards are golden, they are still not as good as the Blue Ribbon Awards, the Film Awards, and the Daily Film Awards.

However, for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who made his debut as a movie actor in 2006 with the movie "Death Note", he is a rookie actor, and he can win the award, regardless of whether he has a heavy gold content...

It just so happened that relying on his superb performance in the two-part "Death Note" series, Kiyoshi Sakamoto became the "rookie actor" with the most nominations for major film awards.

In the oldest and authoritative film awards, among the nominations announced, Kiyoshi Sakamoto won two nominations for Best Actor and Best Newcomer.

On the list of nominees for the Blue Ribbon Award, the Academy Film Awards, and the Daily Film Awards, he was also nominated for two awards: Best Actor and Best Newcomer.

This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto once again a topic of conversation among the public.

Before the major film award ceremonies, major TV stations sent reporters to various streets in Tokyo to ask passers-by questions about the award ceremonies.

And among them, about the rookie actor who starred in a movie for the first time and became the most nominated, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's problem, the frequency of appearances is extremely high!

Tokyo's busiest Shibuya district, Shibuya Station's Hachiko Exit

"Hello this citizen, excuse me, can I do an investigation with you?"

"Uh... Big husband. The passer-by hesitated, but agreed.

"So, are you paying attention to the upcoming major film award ceremonies?" asked the female reporter, handing the microphone to his mouth.

"Well, yes, I watch the academy every year... The passer-by looked at the camera, looked into the microphone a little nervously, and replied.

"What do you think of the list of nominees announced at this year's major film awards?"

"Oh, I still approve of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's nomination. I've watched his performance in "Death Note", it's amazing, his acting skills make me feel that he is simply Yagami Moon himself!!" When the little brother mentioned Sakamoto Kiyoshi, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he said in an excited tone.

"Eh! Then what do you think, Kiyokun Sakamoto, will he win something at the next film awards?" The reporter's young lady, who was a little surprised by the excitement of the little brother and was thinking in her heart, "This guy can't be a fan of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, right?" continued to ask.

"I think he should be able to win the Best Newcomer Award, but the Best Actor is more difficult, after all, he is still so young. The little brother regained his composure and said rationally.

"Oh okay, thank you for your cooperation. The young lady reporter who just wanted to end the topic didn't take back the microphone in her hand before the little brother who realized it spoke up.

"That, I'm really sorry, I thought about it, or please be sure to put my avatar on the mosaic!"

The little brother's words made the reporter sister and the camera brother speechless.

"That... Yes, yes, but can I ask you why? Didn't you just say you could be on camera? The reporter's sister asked a little curiously after asking the camera brother to turn off the camera.

"That... Because I'm afraid of being seen by my girlfriend. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That... Today is the third anniversary of my relationship with my girlfriend, and I deliberately pretended to forget about it, but I was actually about to go buy a gift and make a surprise for her in the evening... ”

"If she sees this episode, the surprise will be lost, so please help me add mosaics later, please!"

The touching story of the little brother made the reporter's eyes red.

In the end, the reporter's sister happily agreed to the request of the passer-by and marked him with a grid in the later stage.

However, the last surprise of the little brother still did not succeed.

Because, the little brother's girlfriend, in addition to being an avid fan of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, is also a fan of TBS TV, and she watches TBS TV shows every day.

And it just so happened that this issue of street investigation was the late division of the mosaic for the little brother, but his eyes were squared...

As a result, it was predictable.

The girl who has known her boyfriend for three years is still familiar with him, and she recognized the little brother.

Surprise, being known in advance, there is no such sudden sense of happiness.

However, this deeply moved girlfriend, in order to cooperate with the little brother, still used superb acting skills to play a "surprise performance when receiving a surprise gift from her boyfriend"...

Such a twisting plot made the relationship between the two more intimate, and the little brother successfully proposed to his girlfriend.

Later, the little brother had an idea and wrote this story into a book, called "The Secret I Have to Say with Sakamoto Kiyoshi", and it was a big seller. . .

。。。

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who didn't know all this, was distressed by the invitations to the major film awards ceremonies in his hand at this time.

"Mandatory requirements: wear the prescribed dress, dress neatly, every male star must bring a female companion, and female stars are not required... ”

"What the hell is this!"

This is in the headquarters building of Sony Music in Chiyoda-ku.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, was sitting on the sofa with "Sakamoto paralysis" at this time, discussing the itinerary for the next month with his agent Uncle Ishida.

During the awards season from February to March, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, an amphibious artist who has dazzling achievements in both music and film, is very busy.

The four major film awards all sent him invitations to attend.

Japan Golden Disc Awards,An invitation was also sent.。。。

These are all must-go grand occasions.

At the Golden Melody Awards in March, he will definitely attend with Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba.

Because, with the results of their THE SUN band last year, they should have no suspense to win the Golden Melody Award for Best Artist of the Year and Best Album of the Year.

And there is also a Best Single of the Year award, and there may be more competitors.

Interestingly, when it comes to competition, it is actually Kiyoshi Sakamoto's left-right fight.

The three singles selected for the annual single: Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "ひまわり", "君がいるら" by the limited group "ARASHIYO" composed of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Arashiyo, and "Lei" by THE SUN.

All three songs have the participation of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and they are all lyrics and music composed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's strong performance in 2006 has long made this year's Golden Record Awards lose its suspense.

Many professional music people in the outside world believe that no matter who wins the Best Single of the Year Award in the end, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the final winner, and they even shouted slogans such as "This is a golden record belonging to Kiyoshi Sakamoto!", cheering for Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has a great hope of winning the award, will naturally go to the scene to receive the award.

And what he's worried about now is not about this gold record, but about the film awards.

Because, looking at the itinerary, a series of dates circled by red pens made him look confused.

On February 21, the Film Xunbao Award Ceremony;

On February 23rd, the Daily Film Awards Ceremony;

On February 25, the Blue Ribbon Film Awards ceremony;

On February 27th, the Film Academy Awards Ceremony.

"Oh my God! Give me the chicken... Ahem, give me a day off!"
