第60回NHK紅白歌合戦：出場歌手 (Official Kouhaku Uta Gassen website)
2009 Kohaku Uta Gassen lineup announced (single post) (Tokyograph Forums)

Everybody’s been waiting for this, and now it’s here. Not the speculations, but the actual list! There’s a translated list on the Tokyograph Forums link above if you can’t read the original Japanese text. There are some big names, as well as 8 newcomers to the event. Unfortunately, there are no Hello! Project acts in the lineup this year. Again. Hopefully you H!P fans can find another artist that you care about on the list, because there are a lot! I was really excited to see AKB48 on the list again, as well as Ikimono Gakari and Perfume. I’m looking forward to Kouhaku this year! Are you?
