NHK's kouhaku utagassen always makes me think of snk's king of fighters games for some reason. too bad it's not aired in the states. GO RED TEAM!

Red team's gonna win... They have Ayumi Hamasaki ^_^ If she plays Monochrome, Rainbow, or Seasons then they'll totally win... considering everyone in the world was me ^_^;

What exactly IS this, anyway?

紅白歌合戦

紅白 = kouhaku = red and white (literally from the knaji)
歌合戦 = utagassen = singing battle (literally)

shown annually on new year's eve, up until midnight. girls on red team, guys on white. only the most popular get voted to perform for kouhaku. also japan's most watched show of the year. and hey, this year, people can vote who wins by cellphone!

there's also an anime kouhaku!

I know that this is way too late, but I have to show this to you, complete with picture screengrabs.

Here are the screen grabs from the latest edition of the NHK Kouhaku, taken using a Nokia 3230 (except for one picture) placed in front of my TV. Aside from those are links to other screen grabs.

Last New Year's Eve, the 56th NHK Kouhaku began like this:



For the uninitiated, the hosts are Motoyo Yamane (the older woman), Yukie Nakama, Koji Yamamoto, and...





Mr. Minomonta — Japan's "final answer" to Regis Philbin. (He's the guy who hosted Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in Japan.)



(I will not pick screengrabs of enka singers unless they did something interesting.)



Ami Suzuki

w-inds.





Akira Fusé -- performing with some Masked Rider-like people.



Kobukuro

Aya Matsu'ura + DEF DIVA and Morning Musume.

Oh, BTW...



They are accompanied with some cute characters.





This woman claims she loves the White Team.



Kishidan, this time in a K-1 get-up.

BoA





Funny circus trio.



The Gospellers

Yoko Nagayama, accompanied by Rimi Natsukawa, both in shamisen.

Naotaro Moriyama, who sounds like the absent Ken Hirai.





The Magic Brothers. I forgot their names though!





Kenichi Mikawa. No robot this year, but still flamboyant.





The guy in Ferrari red is a taiso guy from a kiddie show.



Mai Kuraki

Hitomi Shimatani

Ayaka Hirahara

Sukima Switch





What are R2D2 and C3PO doing in the Kouhaku?



Yuna Ito

TOKIO





When was the last time you put your hand in your mouth? For this guy... I don't know.



Chemistry

Ai Otsuka





Actually, this woman inside the museum is not singing, but rather reciting poems.



Masashi Sada

A mass artiste ensemble (no Ring Show this year!)

Kumi Koda

D-51





This is sumo wrestler Koto'oshu, an ozeki from Bulgaria.



Two pictures of Ayumi Hamasaki: Screengrab A Screengrab B

Kiyoshi Hikawa (the Enka Heartthrob)





Gorie both from afar and up close. You're looking at a drag queen, folks.



WaT (stands for Wentz and Teppei)



Sachiko Kobayashi always does something flamboyant in the Kouhaku. Last year was an exception. But not this year because she's on a robot again! Here's the before and after photos.





The rest of her get-up in three stages.



Darth Vader and his Storm Troopers paving the way for TM Revolution

Yoh Hitoto

Group Tamashii (and I suppose the lead singer hitting on Koto'oshu is part of the act)



Another funny duo.

aiko

Masayoshi Yamazaki

PornoGrafitti

AI



Alice

Rimi Natsukawa

DEF TECH (an American and an Japanese)

Yumi Matsutoh'ya (a.k.a. Yuming) with Friends of Love the Earth (Lim Hyong Joo, Korean; amin, Mandarin Chinese; and Dick Lee, English)

DREAMS COME TRUE

Misato Watanabe



m-flo with Akiko Wada. Will Andy Williams perform with Snoop Dogg like these two did? It's just me.

Mika Nakashima



Yoshimi Tendo, the last performer for the Reds



SMAP, the last performers for the Whites.

Results:



Head count but no more judges.

NHK Hall Audience Head Count (including guests): 1,117 to 1,587.

Cellphone users: 2,904 to 4,610.

Digital TV Audience: 19,393 to 22,687.

That's... 0 - 3 White Team wins the 56th NHK Kouhaku.
