Chapter 181: Cable Awards
Hoshino suddenly missed the past days at AKB, where she and this group of lovely friends cried and sweated together, and worked hard to show themselves on stage, but now she is no longer the unknown girl she once was, and AKB is no longer a nameless girl group.
She and AKB are destined to go on different tracks, and now she is singer Mitsuru Hoshino, and AKB is about to become a national idol group.
"Those days are behind me after all," Hoshino sighed secretly
On December 20, Kagawa and Hoshino traveled to TBS TV's headquarters to attend the award ceremony of this year's Cable Awards.
The RB Cable Awards is an RB music award established in 1968 and is one of RB's most important music awards. Sponsored by the National Cable Music Broadcasting Association (commonly known as the "All Music Association"), TBS Television Co-organized the evaluation based on the number of on-demand broadcasts from the third week of December of the previous year to the second week of December of the same year, from the third week of December of the previous year to the second week of December of the same year. However, USEN, RB's largest cable broadcaster, did not join the All-Music Association, and instead co-organized another cable music award, the BESTHIT Song Festival, with Yomiuri Television. The predecessor of the "BESTHIT Cable Awards" was the All Japan Cable Broadcasting Awards, and the two awards were often confused, so many people at the time referred to the "All Japan Cable Broadcasting Awards" as the "Osaka Cable Awards" and the "RB Cable Awards" as the "Tokyo Cable Awards".
Since 2007. The judging criteria for the "BESTHIT Song Festival" include not only the number of on-demand cable views, but also the number of records recorded by the Oricon Official Trust Chart and the Internet voting of the audience. As a result, the "RB Cable Awards" has become the only large-scale music award in RB that is purely based on cable on-demand. Similar to other music awards, the RB Cable Awards include the Grand Prix (i.e., the highest award), the Best Newcomer Award, the Most On-Demand Artist Award, the Most On-Demand Song Award, the Cable Music Excellence Award, the Cable Music Award, and the Newcomer Award. Principle. The Cable Music Excellence Award is for singers and pop singers in 4 categories each; The Cable Music Award and the Newcomer Award are two categories each: Singer and Pop Singer. So far, the winners of the awards are mainly singers, and the male singer who has won the most awards is Kiyoshi Glacier, and the female singer is Teresa Teng!
In addition to Hoshino in this year's newcomer reward, the popular Korean group Bigbang is also very promising to win the best newcomer award. and Girls' Generation, which has just become a trend in Asia, these groups have achieved very good results in RB, while RB's local music market and musicians are a bit dull. Whether it's the three major singers, Sakai Izumi, or even AKB48, which is starting to go uphill now, they can't compete with K-pop music, and even the total sales of Mai Kuraki's two singles released this year are less than the sales of one single from Bigbang!
And as a high-profile newcomer in the RB music scene this year. Hoshino has achieved no less results this year. Although only one single and one album were released, the sales of the single were approaching one million, and the album sold more than 800,000 copies, which can be said to be the only RB artist who can compete with K-pop artists this year.
It's fair to say that this time she's on the mission of the Japanese music scene and the next time she plays through the game, and if she loses to Bigbang in the rookie awards, then the RB music scene will really be disgraced.
At six o'clock, Kagawa and Hoshino arrived outside the TBS TV headquarters.
TBS Broadcasting Group was established in May 1951 and commenced television broadcasting business on April 1, 1955. TBS is one of the five largest private wireless television stations in Japan. One of the 6 innings in Beijing. On April 1, 2009, the television division was spun off to form a subsidiary. Meantime. Tokyo Broadcasting TBS is the first private broadcasting company in Japan to win the Triple Crown in ratings, and its record of maintaining the No. 1 annual ratings for 19 consecutive years has been unbreakable, and the highest-rated TV drama of RB Private TV so far was produced and broadcast by TBS TV!
This is the first time Kagawa has come to the headquarters of TBS TV, and unlike the headquarters of NHK, Fuji TV and NTV, the building of TBS TV is very ordinary, no different from ordinary commercial buildings, but those who really know TBS know that among the five major private TV stations, TBS has the strictest requirements and the most regulations.
As soon as Kagawa Yu and Hoshino got out of the car, they were immediately blocked by the swarming media.
"Hoshino-san, what do you think of this cable awards?"
"Hoshino-san, do you think there is any hope for Ko to win the best newcomer this time?"
"What are your preparations for the next Red and White Song Meeting?"
Hearing this question, Kagawa Yu almost couldn't hold back his laughter, this guy doesn't know if he is pretending to be stupid or an undercover agent sent by NHK, when he arrives at the territory of other people's TBS, you ask the question of the Red-Red and White Song Club, you are really very bold!
Kagawa waved his hand and motioned for the reporters to be quiet.
"I think it's better for everyone to ask one by one."
Kagawa's reputation and impression in the media were still relatively good, so many reporters quieted down and began to prepare to ask questions.
The first to get the right to ask questions was the TBS reporter, after all, it was a home game, and Kagawa Yu still had to give the host some face.
"Hi Hoshino-san, I know that your first single released on Rb was very good, do you have any thoughts on this cable awards?" The correspondent of TBS asked.
"There are definitely ideas, after all, it is a great honor to be able to get such encouragement and affirmation as a newcomer, but this time I can enter the best newcomer are some very good singers, and I am still very worried and nervous." Hoshino had a calm smile on her face and a very gentle attitude, and the reporters around her immediately had a good impression of her.
"Are you planning to release a single anytime soon? Or what are your plans for the new year? The question was asked by a female journalist from Yahoo. (To be continued......)
