goood newwws..~~
wiki: It was announced on November 3 that the group will cohost the upcoming 61st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen with Nao Matsushita. Arashi will also be the first group to host the show.
This means Arashi will definitely be performing on the show as well. Arashi are in the white team. ^^
Kouhaku will be aired on NHK on 31st December 2010 to mark the end of the year.
This is Arashi's second invitation to Kouhaku. Their first was last year. Being chosen to host the festival is a special honour.
wiki:
Kōhaku Uta Gassen (紅白歌合戦?), more commonly known as simply Kōhaku, is an annual music show on New Year's Eve produced by Japanese public broadcaster NHK and broadcast on both television and radio, nationally and internationally by NHK's networks and some overseas (mainly cable) broadcasters which bought the program. The show ends shortly before midnight (when NHK switches to a frenzy of "Happy New Year" greetings from around the nation).
Literally "Red and White Song Battle," the program divides the most popular music artists of the year into competing teams of red and white. The "red" team or akagumi (赤組, 紅組?) is composed of all female artists (or groups with female vocals), while the "white" team or shirogumi (白組?) is all male (or groups with male vocals). The honor of performing on Kōhaku is strictly by invitation, so only the most successful J-Pop artists and enka singers can perform. In addition to the actual music performances, the costumes, hair-styles, makeup, dancing, and lighting are also important. Even today, a performance on Kōhaku is said to be a big highlight in a singer's career because of the show's large reach.
