Ayase Haruka & Arashi chosen as hosts for this year's Kohaku

TH STAFF
Arashi, Ayase Haruka
It was announced that Ayase Haruka and Arashi have been chosen as the hosts for NHK's annual New Year's eve music show, Kohaku Uta Gassen.�

Although it will be the first time for Ayase, who will be supporting the red team, to participate in Kohaku as the host, for Arashi, this will be the 4th consecutive year to serve as the host on behalf of the white team. It was also announced that NHK announcer Udo Yumiko will be the general host.



At the press conference held on October 18th, Ayase who appeared in last year's Kohaku as a guest introducer for the artists' song, commented, "I am nervous. While getting advice from Arashi-san and Udo-san, I hope to be able to tell the wonderfulness of Kohaku. It is a big year event. Last year, I enjoyed it very much, but this year, I want to act flexibly and bravely."


Arashi members also left comments.
Sakurai Sho said, "I would like to send out the songs from the position of being the host." Ohno Satoshi also added, "Until last year, our record was 2 wins, 1 defeat. I hope for the white team to win again, so that we could have a long lead against the red team."�

Aiba Masaki�commented, "It was Ayase-san who introduced our song performance last year. This year, we are enemies. We will give it all we've got.", to which Ayase responded, "You're quite obsessive about winning, aren't you?" Ninomiya Kazunari also gave his own thoughts, "We've been getting support from people around us although we were inexperienced (as the host in previous Kohaku). It may be the first and last time for this 6 of us (with Ayase) to participate in Kohaku, so I would like to do our best."�
When Matsumoto Jun was asked to give advice to Ayase, he humbly answered, "We're not good enough to give advice, but I hope for both red and while to unite efforts."

The 64th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen will live broadcast on December 31st starting at 7:15 pm and run until 11:45 pm.�
