Events leading up the broadcast
[edit]On September 18, NHK released the broadcast times. The show starts at 19:20, and wrap up at 23:45 (JST), with a 5-minute break for the latest news.[1] On October 11, NHK announced the hosts, who would be Hiroiki Ariyoshi, Kanna Hashimoto, Sairi Ito, and Naoko Suzuki. Additionally, this year's theme was stated to be "Songs for You".
The show will be broadcast worldwide on NHK World Premium, with the exception of the USA and Canada, which will watch on JME, a new streaming service launched on April 1, 2024, replacing TV Japan. Viewers from Japan watch the broadcast on NHK-G and NHK Radio 1.
Artist lineup
[edit]On November 19, the list of performers was revealed.[2] For the second year in a row, no artists belonging to Starto Entertainment and Smile Up, Inc. (formerly Johnny & Associates) were scheduled to appear on this edition of the Kōhaku Uta Gassen. The absence of talent from the agency is a consequence of the juvenile sex abuse scandals from Johnny Kitagawa, revealed on November 13, 2023.
On December 13, Kana Nishino was added to artist lineup.
