"It's finally over!"

After finishing the performance tasks of TBS and NHK, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who returned to the backstage, was greatly relieved.

And Masato Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, who left the scene first, were also waiting for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to return backstage at this time.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was surprised at first, and then relieved, the two of them were waiting for him backstage.

So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto stretched out his two hands and walked towards Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba. And Xiao Chuan and the two of them also understood, and they also stretched out their palms and slapped Sakamoto Kiyoshi's left and right palms respectively.

"Smack!"

There were three people when they went out, and three people when they returned.

At this time, there seems to be a feeling sprouting in the hearts of the three of them, and that feeling is called, partner...

The solo performance on NHK TV has ended. In this year's red and white, the three of them only left at the end of the second part of the red and white song club, and performed the ending song "Firefly Light" together.

However, it is only now that the second part of the Red and White Song Club has just begun, and there is still nearly an hour and a half before the end of Red and White.

And in this hour and a half, the three of them still have to go to the new National Theater.

Because, over there, there is one biggest award, waiting for the three of them to compete.

Record of the Year Awards!

As the highest honor of the RB Record Awards, the Record of the Year Award is selected based on the above three criteria for RB local music single CDs released in the year, which are "works that are artistic, original, and curated through composition, arrangement, and lyrics", "outstanding singing works that have been brought to life", and "works that have received high public support and strongly reflect and represent the work of the year".

The Record of the Year Awards are selected from the Gold Award winners.

However, among the gold medal works of the 46th RB Record Awards, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Close Your Eyes" and THE SUN's "Flowers" occupy two exclusive seats, and the chances of winning the award are relatively high.

So at this time, the three of them still have to run, because, on the side of the new National Theater, it will soon be time to reveal the annual awards of the 46th RB Record Awards.

SO, boys, let's run!!

"Whew. Call.. Call.. Winning too many awards is also a happy trouble!! "Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the three of them run like the heroes in Japanese dramas."

It was the drag racing of Ishida's "Takumi" that allowed the three of them to return to the New National Theater when they began to play the clips of the candidates for the Record Awards.

Under the stage in the new National Theater, in the band area, Kiyoshi Sakamoto finally arrived at the scene at the last moment, but the three who were in a hurry sat next to Mr. Children sweating profusely, panting for breath and wiping their sweat with tissues.

Looking at the three members of the SUN band who were tired to death, the four members of Mr. Children were also very sympathetic to them.

This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Children didn't go to participate in the red and white, because the two sides rushed to the field, they were too tired, and their old bones couldn't stand it.

This is also a problem that only a national band like Mr. Children has.

At this time, the MV clip of TEH SUN's "Flower" and Sakamoto Kiyoshi's "Eyes Closed" MV were just put on the stage, which should also be a ridiculous means for TBS to play, which also shows that this fourteen-year-old boy named Kiyoshi Sakamoto has been strong in this year.

As the MV clip came out, the live broadcast camera also shifted to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's location.

Seeing the camera coming towards him, Kiyoshi Sakamoto hurriedly put down the tissue in his hand, waved his hand to the camera with a smile on his face, and said hello.

The audience at the scene saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto who greeted the camera in the picture, and there was another cheer at the scene.

The atmosphere of the scene, because of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's green smiling face, offset some of the taste of competition.

The Akashi saury on the stage also knew that this was the best time to announce the awards, so he first took the microphone and made a "cough" to attract the attention of the audience, and then continued, "Then, the next award to be presented is the Record of the Year Award." ”

The audience and artists all knew that when it came to the presentation of the most important award, they were all holding their breath and waiting quietly for the return of the big award.

The winner of the 46th Annual Record Awards was announced by Takako Tokiwa.

I saw that she was holding an envelope with the winner's name and the name of the song, first opened it, and slowly came out with a piece of paper, and everyone on the scene and in front of the TV set paid attention to this piece of paper.

On this piece of paper, it is written that the biggest winner of the 46th Record Awards.

Takako Tokiwa took the paper and looked at it first, showing a look of surprise, although it was small, but it was still captured by the camera.

At this time, the audience, the artists, and the audience in front of the TV all had the same idea in their hearts, "It won't be an upset, right?"

"The winner of the 46th RB Record Awards is... Takako Tokiwa was also an appetite, and after dragging out the last note for ten seconds, she said the name written on the paper.

"Kiyoshi Sakamoto!"

Whoa!!

The entire New National Theater burst into cheers!!

The audience and artists sitting at the scene, although not all of them are fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, are very optimistic about this fourteen-year-old genius boy.

Although I was surprised that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a newcomer who had just debuted, won the record award in the first year, it was only limited to surprise.

After all, this teenager, in 2004, had no opponents at all, two original singles of more than one million, and super popularity and topicality, winning this award can be said to be undisputed.

"I, really me, eh, eh, ?!!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was completely unconfident that he would win this award, after all, in terms of seniority, popularity, and fame, Mr. Children has a better chance of winning the award.

But, sometimes that's it, happiness will always appear in front of you and smile at you in places you didn't expect.

Before Sakamoto Kiyoshi could react at this time, he was hugged heavily by Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki who were next to him.

It wasn't until the hug between the two, the joy and warmth conveyed from the two of them, that Sakamoto Kiyoshi woke up like a dream.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also hugged the two fiercely, smiling ecstatically.

However, some people couldn't look at it, so Sakurai Kazutoshi gently patted Sakamoto Kiyoshi on the shoulder and said to him, "Sakamoto-kun, go up and receive the award." ”

When Sakamoto Kiyoshi heard this, he remembered that he hadn't gone up to receive the award yet! Sakamoto Kiyoshi immediately patted the two of them, and after whispering a few words, Ogawa and the two remembered that it was now at the award ceremony of the Record Awards, so the two quickly let go of the hand holding Kiyoshi Sakamoto and sat down.

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi tidied it up with his hands, and the suit that was crumpled when he was hugged just now walked towards the stage and walked up.

When I saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto slowly walking onto the stage, the audience at the scene and on the TV had only two thoughts in their hearts, "It's really young!" and "It's really Ka Kunichi (handsome)!"

At this time, at home in Nagasaki, the Sakamoto family, who watched Kiyoshi Sakamoto walk on the stage, were so happy.

At Yui Aragaki's home, Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa were also sitting together, looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the figure who walked on the stage with his steps, and suddenly looked stupid.

Hokkaido, the Hashimoto family in Sapporo City, the Hashimoto family is also watching, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a teenager who is very familiar with the Hashimoto family, stepped onto the stage and took it from Takako Tokiwa, the trophy that represents the highest honor of the RB Record Awards.

Nanami Hashimoto, looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's face and grinning when he got the trophy, was also happy for him.

"That's my brother Sakamoto!" said Nanami Hashimoto, thinking proudly in her heart.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was in the eyes of everyone, was holding the trophy of the annual record award at this time, standing in front of the microphone, and his excitement could not be calmed down at all.

Looking at the various artists and audiences under the stage, Sakamoto Kiyoshi first inhaled vigorously, and then spit it out, before he said, "Thank you, I'm still a little confused, I don't know what to say." ”

"Hahaha!!" "Dry Daddy (Come on)!" "KIYO-kun, you're the best." ”

The audience in the audience is also very gentle, and has been cheering for Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Listening to the cheering sound below, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's heart also slowly calmed down, first bowed, and then said, "Thank you very much for your support and encouragement." ”

"First of all, I was terrified that I didn't just get this award. I'm here and want to thank my family, my partner, my teachers, but also my company, the staff, all the people who have helped me, Aligado!"

"I didn't really think too much about this award, because I thought that whoever won the award among so many excellent works this time deserved it, but I didn't expect that it was my junior who won this award with high honors, and I was really ashamed. Kiyoshi Sakamoto bowed again, expressing his apologies to the other candidates.

In the audience, the singers who did not win the record award, in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words, also eliminated some jealousy and resentment towards Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a newcomer.

Mr. Children also stood up and applauded Kiyoshi Sakamoto to show Mr. Children's support for the award.

also asked the other candidates to stand up together and applaud Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a teenager who has both IQ and EQ.

Seeing this scene, the audience also applauded together.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto bowed to those seniors again, waited until the applause stopped, then bent over, and continued, "Thank you very much for the support of the seniors, thank you to the organizers, the RB Composers Association and the RB Record Award Formulation Committee, thank you to TBS, thank you to the staff behind the scenes, and of course, most grateful to my dear fans, I love you, YOHO!!"

After Sakamoto Kiyoshi finished speaking, he also threw a few flying kisses towards the stage and the camera, which also caused a burst of screams and cheers at the scene!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who finished his acceptance speech, took the trophy and walked off the stage amid applause and cheers.
