AKB48 to hijack the “Kohaku Uta Gassen”!

They’re the biggest girl group in Japan, and they’re gearing up to hijack NHK’s annual music show, “Kohaku Uta Gassen.”

Performance details from Kohaku’s rehearsal have revealed that AKB48 will appear not just once, but twelve times throughout the show.

The girl group will deliver a three-song medley titled, “Kohaku 2010 AKB48 Kamikyoku SP“, but they’re also engaged to be the back-up dancers for some veteran singers, such as Wada Akiko, Godai Natsuko, and Hosokawa Takashi.


Moreover, 16 members will be cooperating with Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi and Ninomiya Kazunari for a broadcast relay from backstage.

With 16 research students in addition to members from SKE48 and NMB48, a total of 130 girls will be seen on Kohaku’s stage.
