	Kouhaku Uta Gassen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kouhaku Uta Gassen (ç´ç½æåæ¦, KÅhaku Uta Gassen), more commonly known as simply "Kouhaku," is an annual music show televised by NHK on New Year's Eve in Japan, ending shortly before midnight (when NHK switches to a frenzy of "Happy New Year" greetings from around the nation).
		The honor of performing on Kouhaku is strictly by invitation, so only the most successful J-Pop artists of the year have the ability to attend, as well as older singers (of enka, etc.) who are still well remembered.
		Even today, a performance on Kouhaku is said to be a big highlight in a singer's career because of the show's large reach.

		On the other hand there are traditions of following both kana orthography ("kouhaku") and duplication for chÅon ("koohaku").
		I believe that since the official website address spells it as "kouhaku" that that is probably the best way to go.

		The "Big Event" every year in Japan is the Kouhaku Uta Gassen, the amazing end-of-year songfest which has become such a tradition of Japanese TV.
		It's a good starting place for Japanese popular music because there is such a variety, from enka to pop, rock, and even a bit of tv show tunes and classical music.
		Two concert appearences by Misora Hibari: the first is a New Years Eve concert in 1975; the second is her 30th anniversary year concert in 1976.

		At the end of last year, she participated in the prestigious annual year-end NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and in years past has sang in this contest along with such notable stars as Kawanaka Miyuki, Amuro Namie, Matsuura Aya and Morning Musume.
		Ishihara's first Kouhaku Uta Gassen was in 2000, when she sang her hit, "Mirenzake" (Drink of Regret)
		One of the things that sets Ishihara apart from many other enka singers is her extensive training in shigin, or the ancient practice of poetry recitation.

		In my honest opinion, Kouhaku Uta-Gassen as a media vehicle is no longer a necessity for both music fans and artistes.
		Remember, now, that back then, all you had were a handful of low-resolution color magazines and a small number of analog TV stations.
		For me personally, an appearance on Kouhaku is a MUST for all Japanese enka stars to strive for.

		In 1974 he made his first NHK Uta Gassen appearance, and the next year, completed a second rite of passage in the Japanese music industry by holding a concert at the famed Budokan arena in Tokyo.
		Some of the songs sung would be from the same era as SaijoÕs debut days, so it is quite amazing to see how he has remained on top of the music and entertainment world for so long.
		All she needs now is the opportunity to make an appearance at the year-end Kouhaku Song Festival, indeed the pinnacle of many music careers.

		When Kouhaku was first invented over 50 years ago, it served as a vehicle to expose current and up-and-coming artistes who most of Japan haven't otherwise been able to see.
		When Kouhaku was invented, virtually the entire cast of artistes were either enka or very damn close to it.
		If you watch the Okinawan Kouhaku Uta-Gassen, earlier Kouhaku's were very similar to it.

		Aya, her mom is from Yonaguni (raised in Ishigaki), who dressed in a bingata for the show, looked very much like an Okinawan princess.
		If you're like me and you love Pocky (a Japanese snack), you'll certainly get a kick out of this CM starring Yukie Nakama where she takes a huge flop and gets you to buy Pocky :p.
