Arashi is selected as "Hosts" for Kohaku, what about SNSD and KARA?
Japan’s greatest idols “Arashi’ have been selected as the hosts for NHK’s “Kohaku Uta Gassen” (AKA: Kohaku).
Sponichi and other Japanese media had a grand announcement on the 3rd, “Arashi has become the hosts for Kohaku.” Arashi debuted 11 years ago and their first time participating in Kohaku was last year. This is their 2nd time participating at Kohaku and they’ve shown their force by taking the hosting seats this year. Arashi conveyed their readiness, “We’ll do our best to work together with everyone”.
Currently, Korean girl groups SNSD and KARA are creating a whirlwind in Japan and their appearance is also pretty much expected. Most of Japan’s foreign news are anticipating these two groups to perform saying, “SNSD and KARA’s appearance is a sure bet.” SNSD and KARA have both expressed their ambition, “We definitely want to go to Kohaku”. Kohaku’s performers will be announced at the end of November.
NHK’s “Kohaku Uta Gassen” airs on December 31st. Other Korean artists who have performed are BoA and DBSK.

Hope the girls get invited!!
mae,
ReplyDeleteExcuse my idiocy (LOL) but who's the artist at no 1? Is it snsd?
If it is, then WOWW!! Hallyu wave is really taking Japan by storm coz even big names like News and Yui scored quite low. But then again, the japanese fans see those artists almost everyday so I can understand the 'novelty' of wanting to see Kara in that show.
If our girls are selected, I'd be so psyched coz it's a testament of how popular they are in Japan at the moment. And I'm sure their dorky and perky personalities will shine through and gain them more fans. <3 <3
p/s: I hope Cole is brushing up on her Japanese so that if they ever get on the show, she'll be able to make more famous friends... Yattaaa!! :)
Number one is actually JYJ - SNSD is number 4. Yesterday there was a mass Cassie/Bigeast movement for JYJ - they literally shot to number 1 in like three hours XD
