The long first half lasted two hours before it finally ended. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In today's red and white song party, almost all the heavyweight singers in the red group are absent, such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, Seiko Matsuda, Mika Nakajima and other diva-level singers did not come, and among the singers who came, there were only Koda Mirai and Miyuki Nakajima, two female singers who can be called national, and the rest are some rookie singers and singers.

There are quite a lot of heavyweight singers from the white group, like S.Map and Masaharu Fukuyama, all of whom are king-level singers present, but in recent years, the number of potential male singers in the RB music scene is far less than that of female singers, and the generally outstanding rookie male singers are basically Genesys artists, like Tomohisa Yamashita, Kazuya Kameri.

But Genesys has a fairly strict rule, that is, only two groups of singers can participate in the Red and White Song Festival every year, and one of them is still occupied by S.map, and the remaining Genesys artists can only compete for the other group. Later, after the rise of Arathi, the Genesys artists on the Red and White Song Club were S.Map and Arathi.

Few other artists could appear on the stage of the Red and White Song Club, and it was not until 10 years later that this restriction was relaxed.

During the intermission, there will be a cheering session in the Red and White Song Club, and Zhu Zi was surprised that Koike Chehei actually appeared in this link.

But it's not just Koike Tetsuhei alone, there is another person, his name is Eisi.

The two formed a group this year called WAT.

Zhu Zi was dumbfounded and watched as Koike Chehei and Yingshi finished singing.

"When did this guy Koike get married, I don't know. Zhu Zi muttered.

"People have already formed a group, okay? But this year the single was officially released, and there were 11 record companies vying for their record deals, and finally they decided to make their official debut with Universal Music.

On November 2 this year, they released their debut single "My Heart", which reached No. 2 on the ORICON Album Chart in the first week. You don't know nothing, do you?" Masami Nagasawa rolled her eyes helplessly.

Zhu Zi shook his head: "I can't see it, Xiao Chi, this guy is still quite okay, he can even play the guitar and write songs, it seems that I should talk to him when I come back." Do you also write me a song, with my temperament and outstanding voice, as long as the quality of the song passes, I will have a place in next year's Red and White Song Party. Zhu Zimo rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Masami Nagasawa was speechless.

"Zhu Zisan, how would you feel when you participated in the Red and White Song for the first time?" At this time, Yukie Nakama's voice suddenly came from the stage.

"It should be said that it feels very novel and lively, sitting in the first row and watching the show is different, much better than on TV. Zhu Zi said with a smile.

Yuki Nakama chuckled.

"Zhu Zisang seems to have a lot of idols, I heard that Nagasawa-san sitting next to you is your idol. What kind of person is Nagasawa-san in your mind?" asked Yukie Nakama.

Masami Nagasawa glanced sideways at Zhu Zi, she was very curious about how Zhu Zi would answer this question.

"In my heart, my idols are all perfect, especially Nagasawa-san next to me. I like her acting skills in "Dragon Sakura". Zhu Zi said seriously.

Masami Nagasawa was very happy when she heard Zhu Zi say this.

"After watching the first half, which group do you think played better, the red group or the white group?" asked Yukie Nakama.

Zhu Zi thought for a while: "I think the overall performance of the white group is even better. ”

"Aligado, it seems that Zhu Zisang approves of the white group's performance today. Yuki Nakama said with a smile.

Later, another emcee, Koshi Yamamoto, interviewed several special judges, most of whom supported the white group.

After a short break, the second half of the show began, and Masaharu Fukuyama and Mirai Koda all started their own performances in the second half.

After two small performances, the New Year is approaching, and the finale S.Map is about to take the stage, and the song they bring is the very famous "The Only Flower in the World".

This single is arguably S.Map's most successful single.

The sales of the single were a huge success. He held the top spot on the Oricon Chart for a total of 7 weeks, three of which came in 2004 when he returned to the top of the chart after 39 weeks due to the effect of NHK's Red and White Song Battle. It became the RB singles sales champion in 2003 with an absolute advantage, and by 2004 it was still the 11th best-selling single of the year. Oricon counted a total of nearly 2.6 million copies, making it the 9th highest-selling single in RB history.

This song is also the highest selling single of the group S.Map.

It won the JASRAC Gold Award for two consecutive years (2003 and 2004), indicating that this song is the song that receives the most copyright royalties of the year.

It was also the biggest favorite in the RB Record Awards in 2003, the highest honor in the RB music industry, but it was not won because the Genesys Firm, to which SMAP belongs, refused to participate in the jury category.

It was the song with the most RB karaoke calls in 2003. In 2005, "COUNTDOWNTV" ranked second only to Namie Amuro's "CANYOUCELEBRATE?" (1997), which had only been in existence for just over two years.

It is generally believed that the reason why this song has achieved such a great success is that the song contains a strong humanism, multiculturalism and peaceful coexistence of values. The line in the lyrics, "It doesn't matter if you can't be No.1, it's originally special, and it's become a famous phrase in RB Street."

Also this year, the song was chosen as the wake-up music for the thirteenth day of the 31st space flight "STS-114" of the Space Shuttle Discovery, and RB astronaut Noguchi gave a brief review of the song on the space shuttle.

After sitting in this position for four hours, both Zhu Zi and Masami Nagasawa were a little tired.

"It would be nice if there was a moon today. Zhu Zi sighed softly.

"There is no moon today, but it is snowing, and there should be a lot of snow on the road. Masami Nagasawa said softly.

Zhu Zi glanced at her and suddenly laughed.

Masami Nagasawa looked at Zhu Zi inexplicably.

"Why are you laughing?" asked Masami Nagasawa.

"I love the snow. ”
