NYC Boys and DBSK on the Same Stage in the Same Event?!

Okay, today, I woke up to this news, kind of shocking but nothing much to flail about actually although it's great news to me. Good news to Ding too, I guess?

So, NYC Boys and DBSK are going to attend the NHK 60th Annual Kohaku Utagassen (紅白歌合戦), no doubt, an extremely prestigious event, might be the most prestigious event for NHK. This event will be held in NHK, on 31st December 2009, 7.15pm-11.45pm(Japan time).

The main thing about this is, NYC Boys which is supposed to be a temporary unit popped back alive. ODD. Whereas Nakayama Yuma with B.I. Shadow who is supposed to be ALIVE seems DEAD. Of course, there are other Johnny's groups that will be attending like Arashi, TOKIO and SMAP. But NYC Boys, as a temporary unit to attend such an event, is just ODD.

According to Wikipedia, “[t]he honor of performing on Kōhaku is strictly by invitation, so only the most successful J-Pop artists and enka singers can perform. [...] Even today, a performance on Kōhaku is said to be a big highlight in a singer’s career because of the show’s large reach.”

It's basically an event where male artists are in white ream while female artists are in red team. They perform, and the group with the most votes from the audience wins the so-called competition.

Here's a video of the announcement. ( I spot BIG BANG, but they aren't attending.)



Ohh~ Remioromen, who sang the songs for One Litre of Tears, is attending. ^^

So Ding, I hope that DBSK will appear as a whole, but not only 2 or 3 members due to the conflict they're facing now. Because it is really awful to see them separate as they are like... the most inseparable group I've ever seen.
