2009 Kohaku Red and White Music Festival Preview
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.29 – 10:29 -
The 60th annual 紅白 (Kohaku) is coming in just a few days! I have assembled all of the songs that have been confirmed on the official website so you can review any ones you may not know and enjoy them during the actual show. They are embedded in a playlist above.
As for how to watch the actual show, check your local Japanese television channel’s listing. In Japan, it will be on NHK, BShi, BS2, and ラジオ第１ (Radio #1). In LA, channel 18.2 is broadcasting it New Year’s Eve at 18:45 (6:45pm) local time. If you don’t have a local Japanese channel, keep an eye on d-addicts or watch Keyhole TV at 10:15 UTC on Dec. 31st.
If you don’t have time for all those, here is ヒャダイン (Hyadain) sang a little of all these songs in 6 minutes! Hyadain is awesome since he sings both male and female parts. Enjoy!

So I’m guessing it will only load when the program airs?
cause right now, when I open it up, using NHK as my password, it says the selected program has ended…
