The 60th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen happened on December 31st at NHK Hall in Tokyo's Shibuya. Appearing for the first time, Arashi performed the year's biggest hit Believe as part of their four-song medley. In the midst of the performance, Ninomiya Kazunari (26) shouted out "Kohaku cho tanoshii!" (Kohaku is super fun!). Matsumoto Jun (26) rushed over to the guest panel and shook hands with the judges, including Mori Mitsuko (89), Yokozuna・Hakuho (24), and exchanged a 'good touch' with Yomiuri Giant's manager Hara Tatsunori (51).
After the performance, Arashi received a shout out from a male audience member who yelled "Arashi, Kohaku arigatou!" Leader Ohno Satoshi (29) promised "We'll continue to work hard next year to carry over this good feeling." Ninomiya also said, "We'll return to this place next year," promising to make a consecutive appearance at Kohaku.
