Chapter Forty-Seven: Red and White and the Record Awards

After receiving the Best Newcomer Award, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the next composition awards, arrangement awards, and poetry awards.

Composition Award for "Eyes Closed"

The arrangement award was given to "Flowers"

The poetry award was awarded to "Flowers"

However, the two songs were written and arranged by Kiyoshi Sakamoto alone, so Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the stage to accept the award four times, and he didn't have any acceptance speech to say.

Half an hour before the Record Awards ceremony began, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had already won four awards.

"I just turned on the TV, and I just turned the table, friends, don't be surprised, the scene is the 46th RB Record Awards, not Kiyoshi Sakamoto's mancai performance... Well, it's not. "This is a joke from the Akashi family's saury.

Tonight's host of the record awards is one of the BIG3 in the comedy industry, Akashi family saury and famous actress, Takako Tokiwa.

This sentence also amused the entire artists and audiences at the scene, as well as the audience who were watching TV.

And the photographer on the scene is also a good player, and immediately turned the lens to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also made a very cooperative action at this time, that is, he hugged the four trophies that were already in his hand tightly, and put on an expression of "this is mine, you can't grab it" to the camera, and looked at the camera vigilantly.

This malicious act of selling cuteness made the audience burst into laughter, and many artists also looked at it with a smile, this fourteen-year-old boy was there to protect his trophy, but there was no trace of jealousy.

Because, this year's Sakamoto Kiyoshi can be said to be the most popular artist, and it is useless to be jealous, people have released two singles this year, and both singles have sold more than one million, how can it be compared?

The awards are still ongoing.,The next award for the best singing.,It's finally not Kiyoshi Sakamoto.。。。

Satomi Natsukawa won the best singing award with the song "Love Yo Love Yo".

In the next few inconsequential awards, they were all divided by the organizers.

Because in the second half of the first part of the performance of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the band Teh Sun, it was about nine o'clock when they had to rush from the New National Theater to the NHK concert hall, so the three of them are still waiting for the stage at the record awards.

In the wonderful performances of each group of artists, the time slowly moved towards 8:20.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting under the stage, received instructions to perform on stage, so he signaled to Shin Ogawa and the others, and at the same time said a word to several seniors of Mr. Children, and walked backstage to prepare to perform on stage.

Soon, the Akashi family saury on the stage saw the script in his hand and said with a smile, "Then, let's welcome the boy who has already won a few awards tonight, Sakamoto-kun, with warm applause, and bring us "Close Your Eyes Lightly". Please. ”

As soon as the words fell, the lights on the stage dimmed suddenly, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto entered the center of the stage from the backstage at this time, standing still.

At this time, with the lights turned off, the whole scene also lowered all the volume, quietly waiting for the performance that Kiyoshi Sakamoto brought to them.

"Smack!"

Several spotlights suddenly shone on the center of the stage, shining on Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a bowed head.

Then Kiyoshi Sakamoto handed the microphone to his mouth and began his singing.

"Whenever you wake up in the morning, your shell will be with you"

From the moment he spoke, Kiyoshi Sakamoto gave the audience at the scene and in front of the TV a unique feeling with his warm voice with a hint of sadness, which always touched everyone who heard this song.

The song "Close Your Eyes" was originally a parting tragedy, expressing the feeling after parting, that everything she left to herself, in essence, is still very reluctant.

But under the interpretation of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's warm voice, the whole song expresses something that becomes after parting, although I still miss it very much, but I will collect everything you gave me, look forward, and continue to walk.

In essence, from parting immersed in sadness and unable to extricate myself, to parting, although sad, I continue to move forward because of you.

gives people a positive feeling, coupled with the fact that every time Kiyoshi Sakamoto sings the climax of the chorus, he has a trace of sadness in his eyes, but with a smile on his face, which also makes the audience very able to hear from the singing that what Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants to convey through this song is an attitude that even if he is sad, he must forget his sadness and move on.

So, this song has changed from a sad love song in a previous life to a song of forgetting sadness in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's version!

As the audience immersed themselves in the song, no one noticed the passage of time, and everyone seemed to be transported to another world by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's singing.

In the end, as Kiyoshi Sakamoto sang the last sentence, the scene didn't seem to react, until Kiyoshi Sakamoto bowed to the audience and thanked the voice, at this time, the audience seemed to have discussed, and at the same time there was deafening applause.

With the end of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's song, the next thing is the announcement of the more important list of gold awards.

Mika Kanno, "Sunset Clouds"

Tomomi Hanahara, "If You're There"

Satomi Natsukawa, "Love Yo Love Yo"

EXILE,《Carry On》

BoA,《QUINCY》

。。。。。。。。

Mr.Children,《sign》

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, "Eyes Closed"

THE SUN, "Flowers"

After saying the names of the gold awards one by one, the three members of the SUN band no longer sat and watched at the scene. Because of the performance behind the Gold Award list, it's finally up to them.

This time, it was Takako Tokiwa who reported the curtain.

"AMONG SO MANY EXCELLENT WORKS, MY FAVORITE IS THE SONG "FLOWER" BY TEH SUN, SO LET'S INVITE THE NEXT GUEST PERFORMER, THE SUN BAND, TO BRING US THEIR, "FLOWER". ”

As soon as the lights dimmed again, the scholars immediately set up all the instruments for the performance, and the three TEH SUN were also holding their own instruments, preparing for the lights to turn on.

Still like that, the spotlight hit the stage all of a sudden, but this time it shone on the three of them.

The song "Flower" has no prelude, and it is a wave of solo singing by Kiyoshi Sakamoto as soon as it comes up.

It's like when the petals of a flower are gone

A miracle that meets you like a dream

。。。。。。。

Transform into a flower

After singing this line, the drums joined, the bass joined, the guitar joined, and the genre instantly changed to rock!

A wave of interaction with the audience also made the whole venue excited.

I have to say that it is still rock LIVE that can mobilize people's emotions.

For the whole four-and-a-half-minute song "Flower", the audience at the scene stood the whole time, called together, and swayed together to listen.

After the end of the performance, the TEH SUN band hurriedly ran out of the new National Theater from the backstage.

At this time, at the door, Uncle Ishida had already parked the nanny car there, and as soon as they got into the car, he immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out like a cannonball flying out.

At this time, it was 8:40 p.m.

In twenty minutes, it is still a little difficult to reach NHK TV, and at this time, it is a test of the strength of Uncle Ishida, the old driver.

As Ishida's "Takumi", who has been driving for many years, is not in vain, and after 17 minutes and 20 seconds, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the three arrived at NHK TV.

The three people who ran into the backstage of the stage first wiped their sweat profusely, and then brought their musical instruments and prepared to appear.

9 o'clock, NHK Concert Hall, White Group Performers: TEH SUN Band.

TEH SUN, who made his debut red and white, only had two and a half minutes, so before going up to perform, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had already discussed the arrangement with Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba.

There are several performance stages for the Red and White Song Club, and when the camera is still on the No. 1 stage on the other side, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the three of them arrived at the No. 2 stage, ready to wait, just waiting for the host's announcement.

And on the way to prepare, the audience who saw THE SUN appear on the stage at the scene also exclaimed.

At this time, the male and female hosts who were chatting on the No. 1 stage, Fumie Ono and Wataru Abe, also noticed.

So Abe Wataru, who is the host of the white group, smiled and joked, "Yo, since the performers on the other side are ready, let's next, invite the SUN band from the white group to bring "Flowers". ”

Fumie Ono also agreed, saying, "Doso (please)"

The camera immediately shifted from the No. 1 stage over there to the location of the No. 2 stage, and at this time, the three of THE SUN were ready.

Next, SHOW TIME!!

The same song, different stages, but the same feeling, that is: Hey!

The arranged "Flower", in two and a half minutes, is still like a flower that blooms in an instant, so beautiful...

After the performance of THE SUN of the white group, it should be the turn of the artists of the red group to appear, but TEH SUN's Shin Ogawa and Chiba Masaki both withdrew, leaving only Kiyoshi Sakamoto alone, standing on stage 2.

At this time, the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV all thought of a possibility, that is: Next, it will be Sakamoto Kiyoshi's performance!

How is this possible? A person who played for the white team in a row and sang two songs in a row may be the first person in history.

As if knowing what the audience was thinking, the host of the white group, Abe, said at this time, "Then let's invite our Sakamoto Kiyokun from the white group to bring "Close Your Eyes Lightly". ”

Really, in this case, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has become the first artist to sing two songs in a row since the founding of the Red and White Song Club for the first time since the founding of the Red and White Song Club!

And he still refreshed the record of being the youngest to appear in the Red and White Song Club, and fixed this record to be fourteen years old!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who doesn't know that he is standing on the red and white stage and has already set a lot of records, is now singing a short version of "Close Your Eyes Lightly".

Of course, no matter how to set a record, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has just debuted for less than a year, can still only sing for two and a half minutes.

However, after adding the performance time of the SUN band just now, Sakamoto Kiyoshi can be said to have appeared at the red and white song party for five minutes, which made Sakamoto Kiyoshi's popularity rise again.
