LE SSERAFIM took the stage for their rehearsal on the second day of preparations for the 75th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen at the NHK Hall in Shibuya, Tokyo.
This marks their third appearance at the iconic event. The group is set to perform "CRAZY – Japanese ver." during the main show.
SAKURA, one of the group’s standout members, expressed her excitement about participating in a special Disney collaboration.
She will perform "Kagayaku Mirai" alongside Motoki Ohmori of Mrs. GREEN APPLE.
Reflecting on the experience, Miyawaki Sakura shared, "We recorded the performance at DisneySea, and the atmosphere was truly magical. Singing with Ohmori-san created an unforgettable memory. I’m eagerly looking forward to the main show."
The event will be hosted by Hiroiki Ariyoshi, Kanna Hashimoto, Sairi Ito, and announcer Nahoko Suzuki.
For the first time in Kohaku history, both the first and second half NHK drama heroines are part of the hosting lineup.
Last year, the Red Team won, increasing their victories to 34 against the White Team's 40.
The stakes are high for this year’s contest, promising a night of unforgettable performances.
