Hotei Tomoyasu-san will be teaming up with Ishikawa Sayuri & both artistes will be performing Amagi Goe together in this year's Kouhaku
For Hotei-san , this will be his 1st time in 12 years appearing in Kouhaku . Back in 2006 , he performed alongside with his wife Imai Miki on the show

So I guess this year Hotei-san will not be spending the new year in London x) and he really should work with ARASHI again in the near future , same thing with Kuriyama Chiaki
