Nakama Yukie and SMAP's Nakai Masahiro to host Kouhaku again
Today it got announced that the actress Nakama Yukie and SMAP’s Nakai Masahiro are going to host the "60th Kouhaku Uta Gassen", NHK’s prestigious annual singing contest held on New Year’s Eve.
Including 2006 and 2008, it would be the 3rd time that we are going to see the "Naka-Naka Combination" on the singing contest, literally known as the "Red and White Song Battle." For Nakai it is going to be the 6th time in general, the most anyone ever did, not counting NHK’s very own announcers. Being the host for 4 years in a row would be a new record as well. For Nakama it’s going to be the 4th time and the 2nd consecutive year for the 2nd time.
Nakai: "I’ll do my best in order to support all our national singers with all my power." Nakama: "I’m a bit nervous, but I’m also relieved to once again be able to do it together with the always reliable White Team Host Nakai-san."
With the 60th anniversary of the contest, NHK aims to turn it into a memorable one. Both Nakai and Nakama have enough experience as the hosts, therefore it’s expected of them to do a great job again this year.
