Nakai, Nakama back together at Kohaku

This year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen will be hosted by two familiar faces: Masahiro Nakai of SMAP and actress Yukie Nakama. This will be Nakai’s fifth (and third consecutive) time as host, and for Nakama it will be her third. Both served as hosts together in 2006.

NHK has not yet made a formal announcement, but newspapers are already reporting that the decision has been made. The official news from the network is expected to be released this week.

Nakai and Nakama have also recently been working together for the film “Watashi wa Kai ni Naritai,” in which they play a married couple. The movie opens on November 22.
