The lineup of performers for the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, which will be broadcast on New Year's Eve, was announced on November 19. A total of 42 groups will participate, including 10 first-time performers. Number_i, a group formed by three former members of King & Prince, will make their comeback in a new form. "We are determined to give our best performance," they expressed enthusiastically.
At the press conference, Yuta Kishi, Yuta Jinguji, and Sho Hirano of Number_i stood in the center of the six attending groups. Unlike their debut appearance in 2018 as members of King & Prince, where they appeared fresh and new, they now showed a confident demeanor. Reflecting on their first appearance in their new capacity, Kishi said with a smile, "I am looking forward to the live performance."
