yay! I hope it will be a fact! Kuu, Aichan, Ayu, Perfume and alan pleasee..

yay~ a lot of my favorite artists are most likely attending <3.

[Crystal_Ageha]

I really hope ayaka sings. I didn't think I'd get to see another live because of the hiatus. But as long as Ayu and Kuu are there I'll be happy. Wouldn't hurt for Ai Otsuka to be there, either. I love her live vocals.

[SunshineSlayer]

Arashi has been confirmed to perform for the first time. Hello victory to the white team again.

[Crystal_Ageha]

Oh my God, no!! D: Red stands no chance now, lol.

[AyUta]

Really? Well...we gotta have faith guys >_>

[Bigtop]

Maybe Arashi might make the white team the dominators of the decade... Unless the girls can really prove they have "got some game" there...

[Crystal_Ageha]

^ It doesn't matter how freakin' amazing the girls sing now. Arashi could sit there and freakin' fart into the mics for all the fangirls care--they'll still win. ;__;

[Kazeyomi]

^

that's true (sorry Arashi's fans )

Glad to see Superfly and Kana Nishino!
I don't know if Ayaka can perform something, but oh well I hope it

[Bigtop]

I'm not sure if Ayaka will even go for it, especially after she did her final public solo performance last week...

[SunshineSlayer]

"Nikkan Sports, <Arashi participates Kohaku, break Johnny’s frame rule> Popular group Arashi breaks “Rule of 2 frames of Johnny’s agency” and participate Kohaku song festival for the first time. Arashi has grown up national group which meets the case as popularity and their skill. Johnny’s accept NHK passionate offer and give positive signal that they participate 60th Kohaku song festival along with senior groups Smap and Tokio. NHK announces Participant artists 23 December officially. Sanspo, participation of popular group Arashi is positive. Best album released August accomplished million hit. Singing and drama including individual performance are going so strong. If they participate for the first time, they unfailingly must revitalizie it. Also there’s information about junior unit Yuma Nakayama with B.I. shadow appears"

So the rest of the performers won't be officially announced until Dec. 23rd. But I'm sure NHK wants to use Arashi as promotion, so they get announced officially much earlier.

Yeah, I doubt it. It will probably be a ballad like Ashita no Kiouku.

yeah unfortunately so

LOL Ashita no Kioku's too depressing slightly to be sung on 31st Dec D: . Maybe My Girl or Everything will be better ?

but anyway before I go off topic , I hope ayumi will be present at the event too . Would be kinda strange if she declined it this year hmmm

[Crystal_Ageha]

She would be foolish to not go. This would be one more thing to keep her in people's minds, like, "hey, Ayu!! ^_^--She has a new single, right?? Maybe I should try it," lol.

[waterballoon]

wow ARASHI is participating. gg red team.

[mcluva420]

ayu are you serious?? namie is high possibility of attending???
