Thoughts on the 64th Kouhaku Uta Gassen

I am way too late on this, but I still wanted to write about my thoughts on this years line up for Kouhaku Uta Gassen. When I first saw the line-up, I was surprised that there were a lot of idol groups on the red team. I was honestly thinking, how are there so many idol groups?? And looking at that, I didn't feel too upset that Morning Musume couldn't be on Kouhaku this year. I mean, they worked so hard this year and all their singles were #1 but there's already just so many idol groups. But as time went on, I started to feel a little more upset that they couldn't be on it. Anyways,back to the point. Kouhaku is a show for all ages and for people to enjoy all types of genres. So I'm a little surprised that they have more J-pop artists compared to Enka artists. Still, I'm curious on what this years Kouhaku is going to be like with all those idol groups performing.
