Keyakizaka46 (C) Maijitsu
On November 16th, the participating singers of the “73rd NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen” broadcast on New Year’s Eve were announced.
This year’s representative artists were listed, but the fans seem to be in despair because only the name “Sakurazaka46” was missing among the three “Sakamichi Groups”.
This year’s “Kohaku” white team will be joined by boy groups such as “JO1” and “BE: FIRST”, as well as next-generation artists such as “Saucy Dog” and “Vaundy”.
On the other hand, the red team continues from last year with the Sakamichi Group such as “Nogizaka46” and “Hinatazaka46”.
In addition to the Korean idol groups “TWICE” and “LE SSERAFIM”, the character Uta (Ado) from the movie “ONE PIECE FILM RED” will also participate, and big singers such as Sayuri Ishikawa and Fuyumi Sakamoto will also participate.
However, “Sakurazaka46” fans are in despair. The reason, of course, is that only “Sakurazaka46” in the Sakamichi Group has not been invited to Kohaku.
Fans of “Sakurazaka46” standing in the abyss of sorrow
on the internet,
《Eh!? 》
《Sakurazaka46, red and white rejection. It’s honestly frustrating, but I’ve been prepared every year since the name change.』
《Hyugazaka and Nogizaka are decided to be red and white, and it’s too painful that only Sakurazaka can’t appear》
《It’s frustrating because I thought that somehow I could participate…》
Voices of sorrow continue to be heard.
“Since they changed their name from ‘Keyakizaka46’ to ‘Sakurazaka46,’ their popularity has visibly declined. In fact, the fans must have been keenly aware of that. Just the other day, “Sakurazaka46” did not attract a lot of audience at the Tokyo Dome performance, and it became a big topic that the vacant seats were covered with black curtains.” (Idol Writer)
And it seems that there are members of “Sakurazaka46” whose past remarks were dug up by this rejection.
“Fuyuuka Saito of ‘Sakurazaka46’ visited a live performance of ‘Keyakizaka46’ (now ‘Hinatazaka46’), who was her younger sister at the time, in a blog she updated in December 2017 when she was in ‘Keyakizaka46’. “Once again, thank you very much for your hard work. Please take a good rest. It’s our turn to do our best at the end of the year!” ), we were able to perform at the FNS Music Festival around the time we were approaching the end of the year.This is the third time we’ve performed at this time.” Currently, this blog has been dug up and said, “It’s a top-down view.” In addition, it is ridiculed along with the failure of “Kohaku” of “Sakurazaka46” (same writer)
It is said that it is difficult for an artist who has missed out on the red and white stage to appear on that stage again. It would be nice if “Sakurazaka46” had a secret plan to turn things around from here…
