■100 years of broadcasting special project “Let’s sing and dance! KIDS SHOW”
The 75th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen will feature a special project ahead of the 100th anniversary of broadcasting, which will be celebrated in March 2025.

It will soon be 100 years since broadcasting began. Many famous songs have been created on radio and television, bringing smiles to children’s faces. Therefore, the 2024 Kohaku will feature songs related to children’s programs and “Minna no Uta.” Songs that are loved through the ages will be presented in a special performance by Kouhaku and the cast and characters from “Okaasan to Issho”.

Also, since the host was decided, Hiroyuki Ariyoshi, who had said that he wanted to dance on the Kohaku stage, will be taking on a dance challenge. They will be dancing to the popular song “Karada Dandan” from “Okaasan to Issho”.

Lastly, the Kohaku performers performed “Paprika” together. Let’s look forward to a luxurious stage that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.
