HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 !!
Happy New Year !! Thank you very much for your kind and warm continuous reading and supporting for my blog here. I hope this year 2011 will be a very good year for everyone .
As for the result of “the 61st Kouhaku Utagassen 2010”, the most popular national singing TV program of the year end, the White Team won.
Keisuke Kuwata, a top popular singer,who had taken a long break due to suffering from esophangus cancer,suddenly made a dramatic come-back on this Kouhaku occasion,which made people surprised and excited.
The White Team made the sixth time victory in a row (totally 33) this time. The voting system to decide the winner was a bit complicated, as it had the guest judges, TV interctive judges, one-segment judges using cell phones. Actually I voted using our TV at my own home.The event was exciting and lively. For example, AKB48 made the record- high of the time of turning up in the program of 12 times in history of the event, not just performing their songs but for supporting other singers. Some actors who played parts in “the Wife of GeGeGe”(ゲゲゲの女房) ,which was often referred to by writers here, appeared to support Nao Matsushita（/松下奈緒）who had starred in the TV drama, hosting this Kouhaku as the emcee of the Red Team. The word “GeGeGe” had won the grand prix of “The Buzzword-of-the year 2010” as I wrote here before. http://www.tenkai-japan.com/2010/12/04/the-new-words-the-buzzwords-of-the-year-2010-selected/
Anime or manga characters also appeared in the slot of “Character Kouhaku” to support the related songs’ singers. The event included such various and attractive slots and ideas to entertain audience and people.
Natsuko Godai(/伍代夏子), a popular enka singer with some AKB48 members as "the supporting back dancers"
"AAA", a popular young mixed idol group performed at the Kouhaku for the first time.
