Sixteen-year-old Kiyoshi Sakamoto, after 2004, won the Grand Prix of the Japan Record Awards again!

At the same time, there were 18-year-old Shin Ogawa and 18-year-old Masaki Chiba.

Although he didn't win it in his personal capacity, as the soul of the SUN band, this award can be regarded as a large part of his credit.

He is also very happy, after all, the feeling of standing on the stage is completely different from one person winning the award and three people winning the award.

It's even happier to be able to share the joy of winning an award with your best friend than to enjoy the joy by yourself!

That feeling is simply the highest !!

The cover headlines of the major entertainment news magazines the next day were all photos of Kiyoshi Sakamoto holding up the big prize in the eyes of Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba under the sky full of paper flowers.

The smiles on the faces of the three made the public sigh.

"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and talented people have come out of the country!"

However, before Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Makoto Ogawa, and Masaki Chiba warmed up the plaque of the big prize and felt the real feeling of getting the big prize, the three of them rushed to the NHK concert hall to rehearse for the red and white song party in the evening...

Sitting in the nanny car bound for the NHK concert hall, Kiyoshi Sakamoto held his hands on his chest and grumbled.

"Unexpectedly, the record awards and red and white are staggered, but they still have to rush like this. ”

"Really... ”

"Oh, you guy, you really don't know how to be blessed, you can participate in the record awards every year, and you can participate in the red and white singers, they are all heavyweight singers, or big artists, you newcomers who have only debuted for the third year, have reached the height and status that people have reached for more than ten years, what do you want to do? Be busy, it also means that you are popular!" Uncle Ishida, who was driving the car, was also an angry and lazy Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

"Well, yes, who told us to be so popular, every single and album released is a big hit, and we are the top seller every year... ”

"Aha!!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't care about the complaints from Uncle Ishida.,On the contrary, his words,Aroused the soul of the middle two in his heart.,Laughing wildly on the side.。。。

Regarding the symptoms of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's recurrent intellectual retardation, Shin Ogawa, Masaki Chiba, and Uncle Ishida all continued to do what they had to do with a calm face, ignoring him completely.

It's just that Uncle Ishida, who is sitting in the driver's seat, is "worried" in his heart for Sakamoto Kiyoshi's fans.

"How sad it would be if they knew that their favorite idol was such a child who was often in secondary school and had a rapidly declining IQ... ”

。。。。。。

At noon, the trio arrived at NHK TV.

This year's red and white may be because big singers such as diva Ayumi Hamasaki, male god Masaharu Fukuyama, dren and other big things have released records this year, so the red and white songs will fall into a happy trouble.

That is, who exactly are invited to come up?

In the end, the painstaking organizing committee cleared the "poisonous hand" of Sakamoto.

The Red and White Organizing Committee first informed Kiyoshi Sakamoto in a good voice, "I still have to come over to participate in Red and White this year!", and then said to him with a bitter face, "However, because this year's quota is not enough, I can't give you time for two songs with THE SUN, I can only give you time for THE SUN to play a song, and then let you and Arashi appear together and perform the single "君がいるら" of your cooperation, can you?"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi thinks it's not indispensable, the first two times he and THE SUN, both got the performance time of two songs, and this time it became a song, and it was also enjoyable.

Moreover, although he personally has no performance time, he and Arashi performed "Jun がいるら" together, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for NHK's alternativeness to him.

Therefore, the generous Sakamoto Kiyoshi also agreed to Hongbai's reluctant request.

That's it.,After Sakamoto Kiyoshi finished rehearsing "Bud" with Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki, he went to rehearse "Jun がいるるら" with the five of Lan.

Speaking of Arashi, this red and white is the first time that Lan has received an invitation from red and white since her debut seven years ago.

And the reason is that it was because of a single in collaboration with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, which sold millions of copies!

That's right, "Jun がいるから", released on December 25, after experiencing a crazy sales of 400,000 copies on the first day, actually sold 600,000 copies in the last few days of 2006, and exceeded one million copies before the end of 2006!

The song's hot sales and far-reaching significance have attracted widespread attention.

This is the first collaboration between Sony and Genesys, and of course it will attract a lot of attention.

The huge attention, as well as the support of fans for selling kidney krypton, also made this cooperative single sell so many tens of thousands in a short period of time.

And Arashi's first appearance, to be precise, is also thanks to the selfless support of Sakamoto Kiyoya fans, so that Arashi can enter the red and white list before the red and white guest list is released.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who unknowingly changed history, of course, didn't know that he let Arashi, who originally appeared in red and white for the first time in 2009, appear on the red and white stage three years ahead of schedule.

He just congratulated Lan Wuzi, who appeared for the first time, during the rehearsal.

However, Arashi Goko, who knew that he was able to get the opportunity to appear red and white because of his cooperation with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the expression on his face was unnatural when he accepted Sakamoto Kiyoshi's congratulations.

After all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the big boy, was not long ago, and he was still their "opponent" and "enemy"...

But it is because of this "enemy" that they were able to appear on the red and white stage, which made their hearts feel very complicated.

"Thank you!"

In the end, they didn't say much, just simply said "thank you" to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can still see from the eyes of several people that the sincerity contained in this "thank you" is contained.

In a friendly atmosphere, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also finished all his rehearsal tasks, and after saying goodbye to Arashi Go, he went to Shibuya's beauty salon with Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki, two teammates, to "dress up".

。。。。。。

At six o'clock in the evening, the three of Kiyoshi Sakamoto had already arrived again, the NHK concert hall.

Backstage in the lounge.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Mama Ogawa, and Masaki Chiba left the lounge after simply tidying up their clothes.

Before they came to power, they still had a task, a task that they would do every year.

Visit the seniors!

These "newcomers" who have debuted for less than three years, and there are more seniors to visit...

However, although the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi debuted less than three years ago, in terms of performance and popularity, they have already reached the top status, as long as they mix for a few more years, they are basically big-level singers.

Therefore, in the Japanese arts industry that pays attention to qualifications, the brilliant achievements of Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the three of them are also so that they do not have to be limited by qualifications, and they have become "small characters" who can be manipulated and bullied at will in the eyes of their seniors. . .

For the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the seniors in the music scene are all giving some face.

。。。

The visit begins!

First of all, I visited some of the older generation, such as Saburo Kitajima, Miyuki Kawasaki, Hiroshi Gogi and others in the Japanese singing industry.

Then, I went to visit the senior bosses.

Like "Uncle De" Tokunaga Hideaki, "Big Sister Head" Wada アキko, vocalist Akikawa Masashi and so on...

Of course, there is also the National Celestial Regiment **AP where Kimura Okami is located.

Finally, there are the singers of the current Japanese music scene.

Sister Ayumi Hamasaki,Sister Mika Nakajima,Sister Koda Laiwei。。。

Interestingly, after this visit, Kiyoshi Sakamoto found that this year's red and white seems to be a special feature of the resurrection of the singers, not to mention Ayumi Hamasaki, the queen who is almost every year, Mika Nakajima, Koda Rami, Otsuka Ai, Hirahara Akika, Ayaka and other new generation singers have all been favored by red and white.

After visiting the seniors, the three of them returned to the lounge again, waiting for the juniors to visit.

Don't look at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the youngest of the three, who is only sixteen years old, but he has been debuting for almost three years, and now he is also a senior.

It's like Angela Aki, who made her debut in red and white, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi belong to the same big sister of Sony Music, who only debuted in 2005, whether it is qualifications or status in the company, she belongs to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's juniors.

There is also the rock band Aqua Timez, which was founded in 2003 and officially debuted in 2006, and these two groups of singers are the descendants of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN.

Sitting in the lounge, the bored trio began to chat.

"Speaking of which, Kiyoshi, you should have debuted for three years by February next year, right?" Chiba Masaki said to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Eh, you don't say I didn't pay attention, huh... I made my official single debut on February 5th, 2004... Kiyoshi Sakamoto touched the bridge of his nose, thought for a moment, and replied.

"That's right, February 5th next year will be the third anniversary of my debut. ”

"Oh, then do you want to talk to the company, have a birthday fan party, or a special birthday concert or something, to commemorate it?" Chiba Masaki said with something to say.

"Uh, do you want me to propose to the company, by the way, the third anniversary of the band's debut in July?!" However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is familiar with him, has already seen through everything.

"Hee-hee... Chiba Masaki, who was said to be the center, also smirked and did not refute.

"Oh yes, next July, it's also the third anniversary of our band's debut... At this time, Xiao Chuan Zhen, who was a little late aware, suddenly patted his head and said.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaki Chiba looked at him with disgust...

However, Chiba Masaki's words also reminded Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"However, Masaki, what you said is really feasible. After all, it's been three years since I debuted, and the band has been debuting for more than two years, and I haven't even held a concert, so it's a bit too much... ”

"Moreover, the fans of the fan club are shouting all day long, saying let's have a concert... ”

"It's time to give back to the fans... ”
