[Special project]
Kiyoshi Hikawa ~Kohaku revival~
Kiyoshi Hikawa will take a break from her singing career after performing at the Kohaku Uta Gassen in 2022, and has entered a period of recharging. In the summer of 2024, he resumed full-fledged activities as a singer for the first time in 1 year and 8 months, including holding 25th anniversary concerts in Tokyo and Osaka.
Kiyoshi Hikawa, who has entered a new stage as an artist, will return to the Kohaku stage on New Year’s Eve this year. Just like in 2022, this year’s Kohaku will also be participating in a special project that goes beyond the framework of the Red and White teams. Let’s look forward to the stage of revival.
This will be Kiyoshi Hikawa’s 24th appearance in the Kohaku Uta Gassen.
■Kiyoshi Hikawa comment
We are pleased to announce that we will be participating in the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen. thank you! We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of you who have supported us.
Two years ago, when I last competed, I said, “I’ll definitely come back again,” but there was a part of me that thought, “I might not be able to come back,” so I’m really happy, and now I can compete again. I feel grateful to be able to do this. The reason I have been able to live and sing this far is thanks to all the fans, the staff who support me, and all the people involved. Nothing can be done by one person alone. In order to live up to their sincerity, this will be my first live TV appearance since my comeback, so I will sing to the best of my ability.
I hope that as many people as possible can watch it and give them a little bit of the strength to live their lives in the future.
Thank you for your support in front of the TV.
Kiyoshi Hikawa
