191018 70th Kouhaku White Team Host - Sakurai Sho Comments

[arashitranslation]

The White Team Host of Kouhaku Uta Gassen of the last year in Heisei era, and then, of the first year in Reiwa era.

I feel tense as well as motivated being appointed this big role in these two consecutive historic years.

Last year, the Kouhaku I worked on, while looking at the back of Uchimura-san, was dazzlingly gorgeous with lots of smiles.

Uchimura-san, Ayase-san whose moderation brightens the surrounding, and I, we three would like to make the programme a fanfare in this new era, and a fanfare towards 2020.

I shall work on this role with all my might. Thank you very much for supporting us.
