Chapter 157: Red and White Preside

Mitsuru Hoshino and Hawa Kagawa were invited to participate in this year's Red and White Song Party!

This is the news that Masahiro Nakaju told Hoshino, the difference is that Hoshino is participating as a singer and Kagawa Yu is participating as a host, but whether the specific host is the white group or the red group has not yet been officially announced, but even so it made Hoshino Mitsuru excited for a while, as a singer, who doesn't want to perform on the stage of the Red and White Song Club. Of course, a super big card like Hikaru Utada, she can't be compared.

It is a great honor to be able to participate in this year's Red and White Song Party, because this year is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Red and White Song Society, and it can be said that it is more meaningful than the usual song party.

And after Kagawa Yu was busy with the AKB general election, the center of work began to be placed on Nogizaka 46; Nogizaka 46 is about to officially debut on August 1, in order to create momentum and publicity for this group of girls, Kagawa Yu also specially invited Horikita Maki, Aragaki Yui and Hoshino Mitsuru to participate in Nogizaka 46's debut concert.

During this period of time, he is also constantly using the connections he has established in the entertainment industry and the connections of Yasu Akimoto, and even the two major websites controlled by him YouTube, Facebook, continue to promote the members of Nogizaka This time at the debut concert Nogizaka 46 will also sing their debut single "Around the Curtains", the tune of this single is AKB48 "I want to see you", but the rhythm is more brisk, and the lyrics are also rewritten by Yasu Akimoto, but the PV of the song has not yet been officially filmed. The initial release of the song was in September, and Kagawa planned to involve one of Atsuko Maeda, Tomomi Itano, or Yuko Oshima in the recording of the song. Although the two teams are officially positioned as mortal enemies, this will not prevent communication between the two teams.

Kagawa gave the girl a 20-day holiday. But just after the 20th, Reika Sakurai, as the captain, had already returned from home to Hachioji, and on the same day, Nanami Hashimoto also returned to their apartment in the Bird of Paradise.

After the two girls returned, they immediately reported to Kagawa Yu's office.

"Why did you two come back so soon? I still suffered some grievances at home, so I ran away from home. "I was a little surprised and relieved to see the two girls return to Kagawa Yu so soon. Among the members of Nogizaka's group, Reika Sakurai and Nanami Hashimoto are both members who are slightly older and have more mature and stable personalities, so compared to other members, they also have a heavier sense of responsibility.

"Not really. Kagawa-sensei. Because we were about to make our debut, we couldn't wait to come over. Sakurai Reika hurriedly said.

"We were very moved to see the AKB general election at home, and we thought that we were going to make my debut soon, so we ran over a little anxiously." Nana Hashimoto did not follow up with a sentence.

"I'm glad you can have this heart. Now that they have come, then the two of you will also help take care of other people's affairs, they are still relatively young, and you two should help them more as big sisters. Kagawa nodded.

"We understand. Kagawa-sensei. ”

"And my positioning of Nogizaka is after the poisoning of the AKB. But not for you to live in the shadow of the AKB all the time; You may not be as good as the AKB in the coming period, but I believe that one day you will surpass them. Come on, as long as you persevere, you will definitely see the sunshine after the rain. I hope that one day I will be proud of the combination of Nogizaka 46. ”

"Thank you, Kagawa-sensei, we won't let you down!" The two girls looked at each other and said excitedly

On July 25, NHK officially sent an invitation to Kagawa to be the host of this year's 60th Red and White Song Festival. Kagawa Yu did not hesitate to agree to the invitation of the red and white.

He will appear on the stage of the Red and White Song Club as the host of the Red Group, in addition to Kagawa Yu as the host of the Red Group. Nakaju Masahiro will also become the host of the white group, this is already the fourth time he has served as the host of the Red and White Song Club, and this is also a small record in the entertainment industry, in addition to Kagawa Yu and Nakai Masahiro, the comprehensive host has also undergone a small change, there was only one comprehensive host in previous years, but this year there are two, namely Nakama Yukie and Abe Watabu.

This time NHK can be said to be determined to hold an impressive red and white song party, in addition to inviting Kagawa Yu and Nakai Masahiro to be the host, other singers who have attracted attention in recent years and some veteran divas have received invitations, including Sakai Izumi, Mai Kuraki, Hikaru Utada, Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro and other most watched singers in the RB music scene now, in fact, NHK also sent an invitation to Sakai Izumi last year, but she declined politely.

After careful consideration this year, Sakai Izumisui finally agreed to NHK's request, which will be her first appearance on the stage of the Red and White Song Club, and among the other four major singers, Utada Hikaru refused NHK's invitation without even thinking about it, and NHK is basically used to the singer's rejection, so they took the initiative to send out an invitation and just had the attitude of giving it a try, but they didn't give them any surprises.

Ayumi Hamasaki, Mai Kuraki and Namie Amuro are still under consideration, although these singers have nothing to say, but many fans are still excited and excited when they hear that Sakai Izumi will appear on the stage of the Red and White Song Party for the first time!

Sakai Izumi's personality is very low-key and introverted, even after her comeback, she only released two singles, an album, and the concert was held at Tokyo Dome last year, and one in Osaka this year, and even fewer TV shows, except for one "S.MAPXS. MAP", he has never appeared in public again.

But even so, her two singles sold 860,000 and 920,000 copies respectively, although they did not break one million, but they have undoubtedly become the highest-grossing records in the past two years.

It is precisely because of this low-key and mysterious Sakai Spring Water that everyone was excited when they learned that she would appear on the stage of the Red and White Song Festival. Many people have left messages on the Internet saying that they are rushing to the Sakai spring, and they will also go to see this year's Red and White Song Festival.

This even includes Kagawa Yu, but he also said privately that if he said it publicly, some unscrupulous media might write something. (To be continued......)
