Noritake Kinashi and George Tokoro will appear on the 75th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen. He will appear as a supporting guest for Leon Niihama, who will be appearing for the first time.

Noritake Kinashi is the producer of “Let’s give it all” sung by Leon Niihama. The lyrics and music were written by George Tokoro. The “knee sliding,” also known as “knee sliding,” which was performed at the end of the song and became a hot topic, was also the brainchild of producer Noritake Kinashi.

What words will the two give to Niihama, who will be performing on the Kohaku stage for the first time? And what kind of performance will Niihama sing “Let’s give it all” while the two of them watch on?

■Noritake Kinashi comment
I received an order from NHK!
With Leon’s support, we’ll interrupt the Kouhaku Uta Gassen! !
Niihama Leon, I will do my best to let you go! !
Me, chorus?
■Tokoro George Comment
With Leon-kun’s hard work and Nori-chan’s excitement, we are having a wonderful end to the year, and it’s fun.
Thanks to you, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a hectic end of the year.
I hope Leon-kun doesn’t get so excited that he can’t breathe during the actual performance!
I’ve been singing it many times, so I guess it’s okay (lol)
