Posted on November 29, 2011 by TheRarasaurus

On 28 November, it was revealed that three popular Korean groups have been unofficially confirmed for the “62nd NHK Kouhaku Utagassen.” They are Shoujo Jidai and KARA, who made their major debut in Japan last year, and Tohoshinki who restarted their activities in January this year. The two girl groups are appearing for the first time (in Kouhaku Utagassen.) Each of these groups have topped the Oricon weekly rankings this year, and the “Korean Power” that has taken over the Japanese music industry has accomplished their entrance into the Kouhaku.

Also, Tohoshinki, who had two previous appearances, took the top spot with their single “Why? (Keep Your Head Down)” which was released in January and with their unchanging popularity, after two years, have been unofficially confirmed for their first appearance after restarting activities.

With the strong Korean influence, young hallyu star Jang Geun Suk(24), male groups Supernova, 2PM and SHINee were also shortlisted, but in the end three groups are expected to be confirmed.
