The Biggest Live Show, NHK 紅白歌合戦, will accompany audience to welcome 2010's coming as usual. In every year's end, 12/31, NHK(Japan Broadcasting Corporation) invites many singers to attend the live show and divides them into two teams, the red one and the white one. Within 280 minutes, the two teams will compete with many fantastic songs.
Here is the attendant list:
(Numbers in the "()" means the attending times)
You can find more details in the official site:
第60回NHK紅白歌合戦
The Live show is not just a competition but a chance for singers, especially the new ones, to catch audience's focus and to publicize their music. NHK紅白歌合戰's TV rating is always above 50%, so it means that there are more than 50% citizens watching this show to be an end of a year.

This year, NHK is planing to make this live show more attracting and splendid, because the show's TV rating is gradually going down year by year. One of their measures is to invite some singer who never attended 紅白歌合戰, such as Namie Amuro(安室奈美惠) and Arashi(嵐). As I mentioned before, Namie Amuro and Arashi are really "hot" right now, so NHK absolutely invited them to attend the show. However, just Arashi accepted the invitation, and Namie still refused.
Below, I will introduce you some JPOP singers who attended 紅白歌合戰 almost every year.
The first one must be Ayumi Hamasaki(濱崎步)
The second one is SMAP
The third one is Dreams Come True
The fourth one is Exile
The fifth one is大塚愛
Janpanese singers are brave to take part in the programs. Taiwan had a similar program before and many hot singers never showed up in it. Maybe they are afriad of criticisims and some said the evaluation by judges may influences their records.
