This is the first time in 20 years for a non-Japanese Asian Artist to get first place in the DVD rankings.

(T/N: I just picked out some points from the above article and translated them)

Interview with the producer (Taketoshi Sawatari) of "Kohaku Uta Gassen"

This year is the 60th "Kohaku Uta Gassen." What point do you mainly focus on?
Producer: The common concept from 2007 onwards is "Song Power." This year will be the compilation, so we are focusing mainly on songs and music.

What is the most important point in selecting the singers / groups?
Producer: The viewers have demands such as "I want to see the special artist" and "I want to hear this song." We would like to balance these two, and select artists that the viewers will be truly satisfied with.

Expected Shirogumi (Male) Members (Oricon Expectation)
...Tohoshinki, a group very popular among all generations, who has made a great success at the Tokyo Dome 2-day concert.... Those are in high possibility of being selected.

[AyUmIXx]

^ i'm afraid that it will be only JaeChun who attend the Kouhaku not the five of them..since they only release a digital single..don't know for their winter single though....hmmm.... i hope all of them willl go..

[miroro]

talking about kouhaku now? lol we're still in october
so i can't wait until december to see all the boys together (i'm sure they'll be singing together there )

[waterballoon]

Whether there's a new single for Kouhaku or not, they can still sing Stand by U or something... I really just want them all... it's Tohoshinki, not "JaeJung & YooChun"... =.=" I'm sure they would be upset too if things are like that...

And thanks for the scans. Chun looks weird... lol
