Chapter 548 546, Showa 58, Finally Passed
Chapter 548 546, Showa 58, finally passed~
Like the Spring Festival Gala, as the largest variety show at the end of the year in Japan, the rehearsals and preparations for the Red and White Song Gala lasted until the last minute.
In NHK's performance hall, countless staff members were like ants in an anthill, busy coming in and out, showing a contradictory attitude of being messy and complicated yet orderly.
Tonight is the New Year's Day, and tomorrow is New Year's Day. Most families gather in the living room to bid farewell to the old year, and the new year is about to arrive at the Red and White Song Festival. In other words, these people who participated in the Red and White Song Festival The artists of Baigehui bid farewell to the old and welcome the new on the stage.
Naturally, Akina Nakamori came to the lounge early to prepare. This was her first time participating in the Kohaku Song Concert, and she couldn't take it too seriously.
Yu Hayami, who shared the same lounge, saw her and greeted her with a smile: "Akina-chan, it's so early today~"
"Yeah, I want to get ready early~ When I think about going on stage tonight, my hands will tremble."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand in front of his face to show it to his friend.
"You are nervous on the stage." Hayami Yu grabbed the slightly trembling hand, "At this time, we need to use the method of distraction! Have you tried writing on the palm of your hand and eating it?"
"I've tried it but it doesn't work at all~"
"Then why not think of other things to distract your mood. For example, the playboy Naoki who took away your first kiss on screen!" Hayami Yu said with a smile.
Akina Nakamori felt nervous and her face immediately started to turn red: "Yu-chan, what are you talking about?"
"When we were at the party before, I felt weird that the two of you had actually kissed each other in private."
"Yu-chan, don't talk nonsense." Nakamori Akina thought of covering her friend's mouth, but was dodged and burst into laughter.
The two girls were chatting here, and more and more people began to fill the lounge.
The entertainment industry is the most realistic vanity fair. Whoever is famous will receive compliments from others, so some celebrities will say that when you become famous, you will be surrounded by good people!
And at the end of this year, "Love Letter", a group of dark horses, was running wild in the film industry, and the divine song "Snow Flower" was also unstoppable in the record industry. She, Nakamori Akina, appeared on the stage of the Red and White Song Festival for the first time.
Undoubtedly, she is the most famous one at this time!
Many artists who share the same lounge will smile and say hello when they see Akina Nakamori. Even seniors like Ken Naoko and Shimakura Chiyoko, who have participated in many Kohaku Utakara concerts, would talk to her cordially and teach her tips on how to reduce tension.
"If it really doesn't work, you can have a glass of wine!" Naoko Ken came up with a weird idea, "But you have to control the amount. If you get drunk on the stage of the Kohaku Song Festival, your acting career will be ruined!"
"Kennaoko-san, you make me even more nervous when you say this!" Akina Nakamori said with a wry smile.
In such a scene of stars holding the moon, Matsuda Seiko, who debuted two years before Nakamori Akina, is actually very jealous. It is clear that after Yamaguchi Momoe retires, the idol world should be hers, even if it is the latecomers Kashiwara Yoshie and Kawai Nahoko's. Catching up didn't make her feel much pressure.
The new song "Diamond Eyes" she released in November had as good sales performance as ever. It reached the number one spot on the Oricon Chart in the first week and is considered the representative work of Winter Sonata.
But unexpectedly, "Snow Flower" came out in December. Before the data was compiled, everyone already assumed that this song would take the top spot, and maybe it would not fall off the list throughout the winter.
And "Love Letter" made the younger generation Akina Nakamori even more famous, and for a while there was a tendency to replace her with her.
After all, the two movies he participated in, "The Tomb of the Wild Chrysanthemum" and "The Legend of Plumeria: Heavenly Kiss," did not make any splash at all. It is simply impossible to become a three-star star in film, television, singing, and singing like Yamaguchi Momoe.
"That guy Naoki Nagayama...why can't you just hold on and continue to be my fan?!"
Matsuda Seiko now regrets it very much. When Nagayama Naoki wrote a song for himself for the first time, he didn't pay attention to it, and actually let him be seduced by a fledgling girl!
She remembered what Naoki Nagayama said a few days ago, and silently thought:
"I once had a fan who had great potential, but I didn't cherish it. Now that I think about it, I really regret it.
The most painful thing in the entertainment industry is this
If God can give me a chance to look back, I will say three words to Nagayama Naoki
come back."
At the same time, Naoki Nagayama, who looked sleepy, was coming out of the station in Fukuoka, followed by Shuichi Itou, who was also sleepy, and Otomo Yoshimura, who had dark circles under his eyes.
"Naoki-san, this is the last city in the plan!" Otomo Fangcun took a small notebook and looked at the itinerary, "We have two promotional meetings in the city center."
"Ah, is it finally the end?!" Naoki Nagayama wiped his face and cheered up, "That's great. After participating, you should be able to go back to Tokyo for the New Year's Eve, right?"
Itou Shuichi took out the flight brochure and looked at it: "Hi, Fukuoka-to Tokyo is the busiest route, there are many flights."
"Anyway, let's make a decision first~"
Nagayama Naoki led the way out of the station and walked towards the taxi: "Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, never come out to promote next time!"
The two people behind looked at each other with helpless expressions. They didn't want to run around during the Chinese New Year, but this time it was completely Naoki Nagayama's fault!
Fukuoka is the most populous and developed prefecture in Kitakyushu. People live a prosperous life and like to watch movies. Naturally, there are many cinemas. In the future, there will be the Fukuoka International Film Festival named after Fukuoka.
This meeting was held in an old movie theater called "Dayang Picture Theater". The movie theater located on the corner of the street is a Western building with a contemporary atmosphere. It will definitely become a check-in spot for Internet celebrities in the future.
The movie is already being shown, and the cinema staff have naturally set up the scenery. Once the movie is over, local reporters and some lucky viewers will have the opportunity to interview.
"Naoki-san, are you still nervous this time?"
Itou Shuichi joked that in the past few times, reporters' fire was directed at him, but he was not asked any sharp questions.
Naoki Nagayama is different. He stole the first kiss of a top idol in the movie, and then delivered an amazing quote from Aquaman in a subsequent national live broadcast. During this period, he has become the target of public criticism.
"What's there to be nervous about? Isn't it just being called a scumbag, being called a philanderer, and being questioned many times about whether I have multiple relationships? I'm already immune to it!"
Nagayama Naoki said casually. After all, after these days of training, if nothing else, he was really thick-skinned.
What he wants most now is to finish things early and then go back to Yamasakura Yard to have a good sleep and welcome the New Year!
Time passes quickly, and the winter evening comes early.
In the NHK performance hall, people are already waiting for it. Soon, this year-end live broadcast for everyone will begin!
The Kohaku Utakai in Showa 58 was at its peak, with many big-name artists showing off their most exquisite performances on the stage, as well as the most exquisite choreography and witty hosts.
This year the host of the red group is Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, the host of the white group is Kenji Suzuki, and the overall host is actually Tamori.
Akina Nakamori, who participated for the first time, played in the middle, neither the opening nor the finale, which matched her qualifications.
Before going on stage, she looked through the curtain next to the audience. Although the venue was flickering, she still saw Naoki Nagayama sitting in the front row at a glance! Sure enough, you can recognize the person you like at a glance in the crowd!
"Sure enough, I finally caught up!"
Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the second row, shook the light stick in his hand and beat the rhythm of the singer in front of him.
After hurriedly flying back to Tokyo, I took a shower at Sansakura-in and immediately drove to the NHK building.
As a well-known director in the entertainment industry, and also a best-selling author, it's hard to sit in the front row, but there is absolutely no problem in sitting in the first few rows.
Currently performing is THE ALFEE band, one of the longest-running J-POP bands in Japan in the future.
At this time, they were singing the song "Marian" which became an instant hit this year. It is the original Japanese version of the future song "Man Who Catches the Wind"
After Akina Nakamori saw her boyfriend, she felt relaxed and seemed to have lost much of her nervousness on stage, so she waited backstage to go on stage.
There were many artists waiting to come on stage, but most of them didn't chat much at this time and were preparing silently. Akina Nakamori also saw the eldest son of the Johnny family.
As the top young idols of the same period, Nakamori Akina and Kondo Masahiko were placed in a confrontation group. Akina was in the red group, and then the white group.
Recalling what my boyfriend said, the guy in front of me is a hypocritical artist who bullies his juniors, has a messy private life, and is said to have had an affair with Johnny's Kitagawa Mari.
In short, it's better to stay away.
When the program director gave the signal, Akina Nakamori walked onto the stage wearing a glittering singing outfit.
When Nagayama Naoki saw his girlfriend below, he cheered even more enthusiastically.
"
Private からサヨナラしなければ (I wasn’t the first to break up)
This love will never end (this love will never end)
ずるい人…Adult の手口ね (Cunning person…you are so sophisticated)
ため丝ひとつまたhypnosis かける (A sigh. You are CPU me again!)
"
Akina, who was attending the Kohaku Utakara for the first time, was a little nervous in her movements, but her performance was still perfect. The golden singing uniform is really a bit too gorgeous~
After his performance was over, he still couldn't leave, and he had to wait until the final result was announced.
The broadcast event lasted for more than four hours in total, and brought together all the singers, idols, and artists who have left important marks in the entertainment industry this year. The gorgeous stage, singing and dancing, and the performances of each veteran artist were presented to the live audience. The tree left a strong impression.
At the last moment, all the guests returned to the center of the stage and announced the winner of this year's Red and White Song Contest. It was actually the White Group.
At the end, just like the Spring Festival Gala singing "Unforgettable Tonight", everyone sang "蛍の光" together, ending tonight's red and white singing show~
Mixed in the bustling crowd, Naoki Nagayama slowly walked towards the outside of the NHK Hall. Before leaving the building, he heard the New Year's Eve bells of Fukusenji Temple and Dainichi Temple next to Yoyogi Park, which would last for half an hour!
After returning to the parking lot, Naoki Nagayama sat in the car and watched the cars preparing to leave.
After the Red and White Songs Festival, there will be a celebration banquet for all participants. Akina should be preparing to attend it at this moment, so it's time for me to go back to Yama Sakurain~
Just thinking about starting the car, the passenger door was suddenly opened, and then a fat vegetable jumped in~
"Naoki-san, do you want to leave me behind?" Nakamori Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama with a miserable look.
"Isn't there a celebration banquet?" Naoki Nagayama asked in surprise.
The celebration banquet after the Red and White Songs Festival is not just for a meal, but more of a social occasion for people in the entertainment industry. After the celebration banquet, groups with good relationships will continue to rush to the venue for gatherings.
Sometimes, the cooperation between the entertainment industry starts in such occasions. Of course, it is also possible to create a scandal~
"A lot of people toasting and chatting. It's boring. It's better to spend the New Year with Naoki-san!" Nakamori Akina came to Naoki Naoyama affectionately, "Naoki-san, I haven't seen me for several days. Do you miss me?"
The happy and expectant look on her face is like a child who longs to be praised.
"Of course!" Naoki Naoyama kissed her delicate cheek tactfully, "I miss you every day~"
A closed small space is most likely to generate an ambiguous atmosphere, not to mention that there is a beautiful woman in front of him. Looking at his girlfriend's bright eyes, Naoki Naoyama's breathing was a little hurried, and his face unconsciously moved in the opposite direction of the red lips.
But at this moment, a car not far away suddenly honked its horn,
"Beep!"
Almost forgot that this is in the NHK parking lot!
Both of them woke up, especially the girl's face was covered with blushes.
Naoki Nagayama quickly started the car and drove towards the exit.
Fortunately, his Toyota Century had curtains to block his view. In addition, at this time, the reporters who were waiting thought that the celebrities and guests were at the celebration party and did not pay too much attention to the parking lot.
Only when they reached the avenue did Naoki Nagayama have time to ask, "Akina, have you told Fang Ze-san that you will not attend the celebration party?"
"Yeah~ I said I would celebrate the New Year with my friends~"
Akina Nakamori relaxed a lot. Her boyfriend was driving and she couldn't disturb him, so she fiddled with the stereo and tapes in the car, but she actually found a Chinese album.
"Theresa Dunn?" Akina Nakamori asked curiously, "Does Naoki listen to her songs? Is this a Chinese song?"
"This is Cantonese~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the record, which he found while searching for it at a record store. "It's called "Walking on the Road of Life", and the title song of the same name is a cover of Miyuki Nakajima's song "Accustomed to Loneliness"."
"Hey~~"
Akina Nakamori actually had some impression of this female singer from three years ago. After all, she was able to make a name for herself during the time of Yamaguchi Momoe, and she was still very talented. But I heard that she left Japan to develop because of the fake passport incident~
I put this record into the stereo and listened to the beautiful music. Although it was a song from a foreign country, there was a special feeling under the familiar melody.
"Theresa Dunn's voice is really beautiful." Akina Nakamori said after listening to a song, "Very distinctive."
"Yeah" After all, she was a singer who moved Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in the 1980s!
At this time, the car passed a temple, and just as the last bell rang, countless fireworks bloomed in the dark sky. Showa 58 finally passed~
"New Year's Eve fireworks show!"
Akina looked out the window happily. Naoyama Naoki parked the car on the side of the road and got out with Akina to watch this gorgeous scene.
"Akina, Happy New Year~"
"Naoki-san, Happy New Year~"
It's so hard to write. I originally wrote a plot where Kondo Masahiko was slapped in the face, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. It's New Year's Eve in the book, so I'd better not have this guy~
I also added some foreshadowing~ Anyway, next year will be a year of rapid development!
