Japan's FNS Song Festival, worst audience ratings + lip-syncing scandal
``FNS Kayosai,'' one of Japan's three major year-end song festivals, is in trouble over the lip-syncing controversy.
On the 5th, Japanese media such as Daily Sports reported, ``The 2014 FNS Song Festival' lip-syncing scandal has turned things upside down.''
The 2014 FNS Song Festival, which was broadcast live on the 3rd of this month, recorded a viewer rating of 15.4%, the lowest viewer rating ever since 2002. Moreover, this year's music festival has even been rumored to be lip-syncing, earning it the infamous title of being the worst in history.
Lip-syncing is not uncommon on Japanese singing shows. However, the ``FNS Kayosai'' was directed by Kikuchi PD, who is well known for favoring live performances, and with the exception of a few, the performances have been performed on live stages. However, PD Kikuchi announced a ban on lip syncing in June of last year, saying, ``I have decided not to allow lip syncing.'' In June of this year, he suddenly underwent personnel changes and left ``FNS Kayosai.'' ``FNS Kayosai,'' which was the first broadcast after PD Kikuchi's personnel changes, caused problems as many singers performed lip-syncing on stage.
Japanese celebrities also pointed out the lip syncing of "FNS Kayosai".
GLAY's TERU, who himself performed at the FNS Song Festival, wrote, "I think it was a good performance," and then went on to leave a meaningful post on Twitter, saying, "I'm a little disappointed. You can tell by looking at the vocalist." Ta.
Comedian Koji Higashino wrote on Twitter, ``Huh? The FNS Song Festival, which I looked forward to every year, turned into a lip-synchronized event. I was a little shocked,'' and ``A live performance would have been better.''
(From Entertainment News)
I've known that the annual year-end ``FNS Song Festival'' has been popular since its inception. However, the year passed without a chance to see it.
However, when K-Pop Girls' songs became popular and they appeared on the show, I watched this show from the beginning. It was a live broadcast from a hotel somewhere.
What I learned there was that popular singers who had hit songs were not special. Because they are all people whose faces you see on TV, there is an indescribable familiarity and aura about them. However, I felt that their singing level was not that different from the young people who were good at singing at the karaoke boxes around there.
Of course, since it's a live show, it's probably difficult to sing every single time. Maybe it was because of his busy schedule that he had to perform lip-syncing on various stages. Even so, there were quite a few singers who were out of tune. There were also some popular groups that remained on the show for a long time. Of course, there were times when singers who were considered to be talented performed songs that made one think that they were ``as expected,'' but I remember that a strange feeling of familiarity and excitement lingered for a long time.
Now, looking forward to Girls' Generation's songs, they sang ``GENIE''. Of course, there was dancing involved. Fans debated whether this was lip-synced or not.
The reason for the controversy is that their songs shined brightly at this music festival, where live performance is the selling point. As for the dancing, Hyoyeon and others danced with great skill.
I was impressed by the strength of their blows, but if you look at it from a different perspective, I wouldn't be surprised if some people felt jealous.
Although they have been away from TV music programs for a while, I would like to see them sing and dance in the living room again soon. It's also a live song...
