大晦日恒例の「第５７回 ＮＨＫ紅白歌合戦」〔平成１８年１２月３１日（日） 午後７時２０分～１１時４５分（ニュース中断あり）総合・衛星ハイビジョン・衛星第２・ ラジオ第１〕の出場歌手が決定しました。

出場歌手は、紅白各２７組の合計５４組。

初出場は紅組が６組、白組が６組の合わせて１２組。
これまでの対戦成績は、昨年の白組の勝利で、紅組２８勝白組２８勝です。

現代の日本は、あらゆる世代で、それぞれの価値観やスタイルがあり、世代間のコミュニケーションが少なくな っています。今年の紅白歌合戦は、「愛・家族～世代をこえる歌がある～」をテーマに掲げ、歌の力で「世代間 のつながり」や「家族のつながり」を取り戻したいと願っています。高齢者がメロディー豊かでメッセージ性の 高いＪ－ＰＯＰに驚き、若者は日本の文化を彩ってきた演歌に親しむ、選び抜かれた５４組の歌手と司会陣で、 まさに世代をこえた「あたたかい紅白」を実現します。


I wonder which team will win this year? [28wins for both win currently]

[yatsuda]

Thank you so much!!
I'm also very pleased to see that Bonnie Pink will perform!!

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

yay, kobayashi sachiko, GAM, and Mizumori Kaori! lol, i like enka.

But at least we know that she's on the list (that'd be SUPER weird if she wasn't).

[~X2RADialbomber~]

Very glad to see Ayu, Kuu and BoA.

Is Ami Suzuki on this list? She better be!

Too bad hitomi's not there

[simonlau]

8th for Ayu right? Lovely!

[Qt Mashi]

YEAH! Anyone of the ones above would be refreshing! I bet Ayu's gonna perform JEWEL a lot during that time so I'd love to hear either 1 LOVE, momentum or Secret.

[immel]

[Choyan]

No, that was from a page that predicted songs, the information from that page isn't more reliable than if you or I would predict a song for her to perform.

OOO~ right... XD

ah well, anyway
This year's theme revolves around 'family and generation bonds'. Both teams are expected to use their songs to help strengthen these bonds. XD

[chocopockymaster]

WHERE IS GACKT?!?!?

[CREA.tive]

[perfectdeath]

[Raleigh]

Odd to see no Shimatani, Ami Suzuki or Yuna Ito
