The program will re-run on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2022, at 12:30pm.
This year’s theme is “Colorful”. With COVID-19 still continuing from last year, many of us have gotten used to the lackluster days. This year’s program hopes to make the last night of 2021 a little more colorful with red and white as well as accept diversity.
The hosts will be Yo Oizumi, on his second consecutive year, actress Haruna Kawaguchi, and NHK announcer Mayuko Wakuda.
The formerly named “red team host,” “white team host” and “general host” has been merged to be simply called “host” this year.
