Since ’94 almost these 2 groups (’96 + Masahiko Kondo, ’01 &’04 only Tokio) But Arashi did great success enough to pass this rule. Oricon ranking of first part of year “Believe” and “Ashita no Kioku” dominate no.1 and 2. and initial sales ranking dominate no.1 to 4. Best album hit million sales. 3 straight days concert at national stadium, premium event fully booked Tokyo Disney Sea. They crisscrossed.

Sponichi,<Break the rule Kohaku 4 groups of Johnny’s participate>Participant singers of New-year’s eve’s “60th NHK Kohaku song Festival” (19:15-23:45) are announced at NHK yesterday. From Johnny’s agency 5 unit Arashi and 7 unit from Hey!Say! Jump member, NYC boys participate for the first time. 2 frames “Smap” “Tokio” applied usually for Johnny’s agency.

Chinen got fired up “we wan to do our best no to be beat by Arashi.” It’s 4 groups since 1986-1988. Since 94 that 2 groups of Smap and Tokio became established, Kinki kids, V6 and others hit million selling. But both came as unofficial guest. Since ’98 Countdown concert at Tokyo Dome has opened countering Kohaku. Kitagawa president explains “As NYC boys can’t participate due age discrimination (of late night concert) So I though they sing at Kohaku and sing like young people.”. By contrast about participation of Arashi which is main feature of year. “I haven’t heard nothing.” NYC is unit for limited time to cheer “Female volleyball worked grand prize”. PR unit of other TV company is exception. Chief producer was reinforced “NYC is new comer but strong sales.”  Meanwhile Arashi, album hit 1.37 million sales, single CDs dominate no.1-4 of Oricon chart. Both groups were offered by NHK. “This is basic that popular group of year participate. Arashi hit extraordinary sales.” About possibility of other Johnny’s groups participation. “Actually I can’t say anything.” has a implication. It might have possibility of participation of Johnny’s junior who have more than 100 members. Hochi, <Arashi first Kohaku at 10th anniversary! Festival of highest 4 groups of Johnny’s> Daily sports, ＜Arashi first participation at 10th anniversary “want to make supreme stage”> Arashi appear as highlight of Kohaku the marks 60th anniversary and as trump to raise audience rate. Smap and Tokio, only 2 groups as artists of Johnny’s agency have participated since 1997. 2001 Kinki kids and V6 appeared unofficially. About 2 frames of Johnny’s agency which is getting a rule of Kohaku, Chief producer says”we didn’t sate limited frame for each companies. And we didn’t stick to 2 groups.” About participation of Arashi, they did passionate love call for a month and half. As Arashi is at mile stone year so they accept it. Kazunari Ninomiya (26) “However history is different, We ‘re so honored to have such wonderful chance at memorial year for both.” Jun Matsumoto(26) “We ant to make supreme stage.> Chunichi Sports.<Kohku Arashi first participation, NYC also first participation from Johnny’s> Mainichi, <NHK Kohaku song festival, Arashi, Kaera… 8 groups for the first time>
Daily Sports,＜Arashi, Countdown “double duty”> Arashi used to do countdown concert every new-year’s ever from 23:00 at Tokyo dome. This year it will be double duty with Kohaku. Agency says, “Participants are not fixed yet. But as usual Arashi has possibility to participate it.” Tokio every year before closing Kohaku they move to Tokyo Dome. It seems Arashi does same thing. They appear before new-year. BTW NYC boys can’t participate it because they are under 18 years old.

One clear autumn day, Leader of Arashi Satoshi Ohno who star 1^st story of “Guest of room #0”accepts photo shooting and interview at Studio in Tokyo. And The one co-stars with him today is bitsy of golden retriever (1 month old) The bitsy runs around studio full-throttle of puppy before photo shooting. “Well shooting starts!” The moment he was hold in Ohno-san’s arm he started sleeping! What is him who offers a secure feeling to puppy for the first meet? Staffs also surprised. He doesn’t mind astonishment by staffs, holding puppy and says “what?

RADIO
6:50-6:55  Arashi Discovery Satoshi Ohno FM Yokohama We will co-star at Fuji TV special drama “The last promise” next new year 5 together after 10 years. Err. This is 5 people incidentally come upon the incident of occupied building. Human suspense that they make head to unpredictable situation, right. I’ve just read, sorry. Well, any way really doing drama 5 together, really since debut, ’99 just made debut. Drama called “V no Arashi”, rather mini-drama? Or drama? Since that one. We have done movies several time 5 together. Drama is actually after 10 years. How it would be? As Arashi co-star acting 5 together is after 3 years. It’s been since movie called “Yellow Tears”. It’s after long time. Doing acting. So I’m looking forward to it. Well it must be interesting to watch the differences of “V no Arashi” and “The last promise” ho ho ho. You’d think that Satoshi Ohno has grown up, maybe. As it was 18 years old. I only thought about “Sleepy” also “wanna go home, yep. That one how grows up? Please look forward to “The last promise.”

Thank you for the constant updates.

So I guess mystery solved regarding the whole Kouhaku drama.

- Both Arashi and NYC Boys were offered by NHK to attend due to their high sales and Johnny Kitagawa decided for NYC Boys to attend Kouhaku because they're underage and can't perform at Countdown late at night.
- There's no 2 frames limit for Johnny's. (Although I find this hard to believe as it has always been only 2 Johnny groups, SMAP and TOKIO attending for the longest time. Even Kinki Kids and Kat-tun who sold millions never performed on Kouhaku officially even at the peak of their popularity - I wonder why then...)

Well who knows the truth. NHK is related in politics. Most medias are full liars crap.
They making an excuse that NHK is not only Johnny's 2 frame? idts i won't rely on that.

Call me a newbie but what's the rule that Arashi broke? Can someone explain to me?

[meoinkie2.livejournal.com]

supposedly it was referring to NHK's 2 frame for Johnny's rule..
