[KarenPang]

On October 16th it was revealed that Horikita Maki (24) and popular group Arashi have been appointed as hosts of 63rd NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, to be broadcasted in New Years’ Eve.

This is the 3rd time for Arashi to host Kouhaku since 2010 and the first time for Horikita. After receiving positive reviews for her heroine portrayal in morning drama “Ume-chan Sensei” which ended on September 29th with an average rating of 20.7%. The first time in nine years since a morning drama achieves more than 20% ratings.

After yet another fulfilling year in Arashi’s musical career it was only natural for them to host this ceremony. Horikita has already worked in the past with some members of Arashi like, Sakurai Sho (30), Ninomiya Kazunari (29) and Matsumoto Jun (29).

Momoiro Clover Z to participate in this year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen

On October 23, it was revealed that 5-member idol group Momoiro Clover Z will perform at this year’s NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen. In August of this year, the group performed live at the Seibu Dome in Saitama in front of an audience of 30,000, and since then, they were unofficially offered the opportunity.

In this era of “idol wars,” with the largest idol group being AKB48, Momoiro Clover Z, a 5-member group, has become popular through their original unique songs and their intense dances as well as their fresh performances. With this announcement, the group has finally achieved their goal [of performing at the Kohaku Uta Gassen] that they set when they formed in 2008.
