arashitranslation An interview was done with Red Team Host, actress Arimura Kasumi, White Team Host, ARASHI’s Aiba Masaki, and the Mediator Takeda Shinichi Announcer.
Aiba who has been Host - as a member of ARASHI - for five times, regarding playing the big role alone this time, he directly made us to laughter with “It is totally different from hosting together with ARASHI members. Sakurai (Sho) always handled the different situation. Though I have hosted Kouhaku for five times, what I have done didn’t even add up to one year’s worth of hosting work”.
When asked about Aiba’s Kanji of this year he reflected “Is it not ‘surprise’ (驚). Can’t believe [I’m hosting] this New Year Eve’s event. Though I have first heard about this offer around one week before the announcement of host”. He surprised the reporters until the end by saying “I don’t feel relieved!” with a very playful smile.
And, Arimura chose “Challenge” (挑) as the Kanji of this year with “This year I have challenged many things”. She looked back this year with “I started acting as lead actress for the first time in Monday 21:00 TV drama of commercial broadcaster, in movie I played various roles, morning TV drama, and then I conclude this year with Kouhaku, I have tried these new things continuously this year. I think that this year was like going round and round”.
