The last day before the New Year was not called "New Year's Eve" in Japan, but called "Da Yue Day".

This title comes from the Shinto culture in Japan.

In Japanese, the pronunciation of "月" is "月" and means "the day when the moon is hidden", that is, the last day of each month.

"Da Ming Day" refers to the last day of the last month of the year, that is, December 31.

But despite this, the Japanese New Year is still similar in customs to the Chinese Spring Festival.

Because before the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese celebrated the New Year completely following the Chinese tradition.

The Japanese celebrate the Spring Festival and use the lunar calendar.

Until the Meiji Restoration, Japan learned from Europe, introduced various European systems, and introduced the Western Gregorian calendar.

From then on, the Japanese who completely changed their goal of advocating foreign countries and fascinating foreign countries marked the Spring Festival as the "old first month" on their calendars, and the New Year's Day and New Year of the Western Calendar began to celebrate the New Year.

But more than a hundred years have passed, and to this day, the Japanese New Year is still deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and there is no trace of Western civilization.

Just like the common people who were reunited on New Year's Eve in the old days and waiting to compete for the first stick of incense in front of the Guandi Temple.

On December 31, 1986, on the night of Dahui Day, the Japanese not only had to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner that symbolized good luck, drink Tusu wine, and eat New Year’s Eve soba noodles, but also went to the shrine to pay homage after listening to the New Year’s Eve bell.

Therefore, Tokyo is destined to be lively, whether it is Asakusa or Shibuya.

It is entirely possible to meet the lively scene of Sensoji Temple in Nakamise Street, and women in kimonos will also be crowded among the crowd.

It is completely predictable that in front of Meiji Temple, those who are waiting to worship will be crowded and the bells of major temples and shrines will always ring.

Even in order to facilitate citizens to visit the shrine, Tokyo's tram routes will run all night, and they will spare no time to provide services to visitors.

This is probably what the old Japanese who clamored to "lead Asia and join Europe" and advocated "total Westernization" did not expect. It is really ironic to think about it.

As for whether the gods and Buddhas in these shrines are effective? Who will they bless? How many people can really get what they want?

That's a more mysterious question...

On the last day of the year, since all kinds of New Year's Eve programs have to be prepared, it is undoubtedly the busiest day for the Japanese art world.

Especially for popular singers, this day is very likely to be between NHK's Red and White Songs venue and TBS' studio at the same time.

Even so, for singers who have made the biggest shows on both TV stations, they are still busy and happy.

For example, Teresa Teng, although she is a foreigner, as the most popular singer-song star in Japan, she is also busy with various TV stations and venues.

Among the singles released this year, the song "Toshiki" that made her the most popular. The song "Shiki" created by her old partners Toyohisa Araki, Toshiki Miki, and Maka Kawaguchi, was simply "killing crazy" this year.

Not only did she win the limited broadcast award and nominated record award, she will also perform at tonight's Red and White Song Festival.

In Japan, the status of the Red and White Song Festival is equivalent to that of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in mainland China.

And just like the Spring Festival Gala, the Red and White Song Festival will also invite famous foreign singers to participate.

If you can enter the Red and White Song Club, even if you don’t get any awards in music, it can be proved that a singer is so popular in Japan and is quite popular.

So even if it was held, Teresa Teng was full of joy and dressed up carefully.

The backstage of the NHK concert hall in Shibuya, Tokyo was in a messy and orderly manner. During the last rehearsal at noon, Teresa Teng walked through the corridor under the guidance of the staff.

On the way, I met Hiroshi Goki, a senior who was a Japanese singer, who was performing music. She stopped politely and bowed to him and said hello, "Hello Gokisang."

The two are not unfamiliar with each other, and the relationship is quite good.

You should know that Hiro Goki is not only the Japanese male singer who works the most with Teresa Teng, but the key is that the two just collaborated on a big-selling song "Reunion after Farewell".

So Goki Hiro nodded, his attitude was quite kind, not only smiled and sent his blessings, "Come on, Teresa."

He also said in a low voice, "No matter what the selection results are, don't be discouraged. No matter what, you will never return empty-handed. Even if there is no big prize, there is a gold prize that can be won."

This is by no means malicious. In the whole thing, Hiroshi Gomu is a person who is completely unseen in the dark, and he has no idea how anyone is working on the awards for Teresa Teng.

Moreover, he has a lot of knowledge about the dark side of awards in the industry and is very clear about the urinary nature of the judges of the Record Awards Development Committee. It is not surprising that he can say such words.

What's more, he has not received the results of Ning Weimin's award selection so far. Teresa Teng himself is somewhat nervous and is not sure about the award results.

Although she is extremely intelligent, she knows that there is no news, perhaps the best news.

But because I was in the game, I still couldn't let go and completely relax, and I couldn't win at all.

This is called caring and confusion.

Therefore, Teresa Teng only felt warm in his heart for Hiroshi Goki's comfort, felt that he was full of grace, and sincerely bowed to thank him.

"Thank you, Gomusang."

As soon as the noon rehearsal of the Red and White Song Club ended, Teresa Teng went to the record awards at the Chiyoda District Japanese Budou Hall.

Compared with the Red and White Song Festival, the atmosphere at the Record Awards is much more relaxing.

The singers participating in the performance often regard the venue as a social occasion. Those who are familiar with each other are not familiar with each other, and only someone introduces them to them and they all gather together to chat.

Under such circumstances, Teresa Teng, who was guided by two staff members, happened to meet Akina Nakamori who was surrounded by two staff members.

The two people whom I didn't meet in the NHK concert hall just now accidentally met here.

Needless to say, as a junior, Akina Nakamori had to take the initiative to say hello, "Good evening, Miss Teresa, you are here."

Teresa Teng also responded with a smile, "Good evening. Miss Ai Cai, you are here too."

Although it is well known that the Japanese art industry is in the plastics industry, the politeness of the two people is not completely false.

After all, after Teresa Teng won this year's limited broadcast award, she also received the "one-sided grace" of Akina Nakamori.

It's quite interesting to talk about this "noodle incident".

At that time, after the limited broadcast award ceremony, there was a "11PM" program, which broadcasts the celebration party of the award-winning singers.

Teresa Teng was busy that day and didn't eat for the whole day. She was so hungry that she pressed her chest against her back.

Her agent is not good either. Employees in small companies like Taurus Palace are not of great quality and can't even buy noodles when they go out.

It was also thanks to Akina Nakamori who transferred a bowl of noodles bought by her agent to Teresa Teng to save Teresa Teng's famine.

So after this incident, whenever he was interviewed by Japanese media, Teresa Teng would praise Akina Nakamori and say, "Miss Akina is so nice."

Teresa Teng, who had always had a deep prejudice against Japanese people and rarely made friends with Japanese artists, regarded Akina Nakamori as a good person for such a trivial matter.

Needless to say, when the two met at this time, they naturally had to have a good chat.

But that's it. After all, the competitors of each other's current awards are also divided into different categories of songs and idols. You're welcome to express your demeanor politely.

Teresa Teng has long passed the age of pure naiveness, and she will not hesitate when it comes to her own core interests.

Although there is a possibility that she will completely end Akina Nakamori's two consecutive championships.

But she doesn't think there is anything wrong with the operation of the awards.

To put it bluntly, she had been fooled by the Record Awards several times in the past.

This is not the first time that she was nominated for the election but won the award. The Record Awards Development Committee has long been ashamed of her.

If she really wants to say fairness, she should have received the award last year.

If it weren't for the public pressure that this record award invited her, and Ning Weimin also made great efforts behind the scenes, giving her some hope, and she felt that maybe she could really "get what should belong to her with her own hands."

She really may not be willing to come.

What's more, the agency behind Akina Nakamori is also spending money to buy awards?

This is not a secret, everyone is the same, she doesn't have to feel guilty about this.

If she is really embarrassed, she can only be ashamed of returning empty-handed because of her weak strength.

In short, the biggest highlight tonight is to see how Ning Weimin's operating ability is, whether she can win the unprecedented highest award for the Record Awards, and achieve the double championships of the Limited Broadcast Awards and Record Awards.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the award began as scheduled.

The best newcomer was awarded to the youth team, and the best album was awarded to Seiko Matsuda's "SUPREME"... Time slowly moved forward, awards after awards were announced, and groups of singers performed on stage.

Singers and audiences sat together. From time to time, singers left the seat from time to time, and some came back every once in a while - this was to go to the Red and White Song Festival.

Finally, the decisive moment came.

The most eye-catching and heavy award for the annual award - the Record Award, finally came to the announcement.

"Then, it's finally time to announce this year's annual award..."

As soon as the host said this, there were calls of "Mingcai Jiang!" and "Mingcai!" in the venue.

It’s not that this is what everyone wants. Everyone thinks that Akina Nakamori is the one who can really get the award.

The key is that fans of idol stars definitely have the advantage of being younger and are not afraid of declaring their pursuit of idols.

Although there are many supporters of the singer-song star, they have different age groups.

In the group who is up to the age of thirty, even if they like it, there are really few people who are embarrassed to scream so much.

The host opened the card in his hand and saw the name on it. His expression was obviously stunned, but he quickly returned to normal based on his professional qualities.

“The winner of the annual award for the 28th Record Awards is—”

"Telisa Deng, "Shiyuki Body". Congratulations!"

As this sentence fell, the entire venue was filled with applause and cheers. The camera cut to Teresa Teng's seat in time to capture her reaction.
