Kouhaku or Countdown?

I'm sure all of you out there are wondering if Arashi is going to be on Kouhaku Uta Gassen for the end of this year. Well..................YES THEY ARE!!! A lot of people have been asking me why they finally went on this year and not previous years and personally, I have a few reasons.

1. Arashi is celebrating their 10th Year Anniversary, and their years ahead.
2. They are the most popular idol group-not only in Johnny's Entertainment, but in Japan!
3. Arashi's CD sales have gone over the charts and broke many records according to Oricon.
4. And..........Like almost 100% of the girls in Japan LOVE them!

But don't worry, I have heard that Arashi will also be at Johnny's Countdown, but they won't be doing MC...Double duty for busy busy Arashi! Take care!

Here are three helpful links I found, but it's in Japanese. If anyone wants some information in English, please let me know and I'll be happy to help!
