Question from a reader:
Is there a possibility that Junretsu might not be selected for this year’s Kohaku? While searching for names in the TV program guide, I noticed that Junretsu’s name has disappeared from the list. It might just be my TV, but I thought popular entertainers would appear during that time, especially since their name has been present for
the past few years. What could be the reason for this?
Possibility of Junretsu’s Exclusion from Kohaku
Hello! It seems you are quite concerned about Junretsu recently. I can relate to your question, as I always find energy in their performances. Regarding the possibility of Junretsu not being selected for this year’s Kohaku, it’s difficult to say definitively since there are many factors that come into play every year. The fact that their name is not appearing in recent TV program listings is definitely a point of concern. I remember worrying when my favorite artists suddenly disappeared from television as well. Speaking of which, I still vividly recall the time I went to a Junretsu concert with a friend. Their performance was incredibly energetic, and afterward, my friend said, “Let’s go again!” We ended up drinking a bit too much at a nearby izakaya. I remember ordering too many snacks, and by the time we left, my wallet felt quite light (laughs). It’s likely that Junretsu’s situation, like that of other entertainers and artists, is influenced by various circumstances. With new groups and artists emerging, their position may be changing as well. However, as fans, we definitely want to continue supporting them. I think what we can do is cheer them on through social media and attend their live performances. I believe other Junretsu fans feel the same way. What’s your favorite song by Junretsu? I would love to hear about it! Lastly, I’d be happy to hear your memories with Junretsu or any stories about supporting other artists. Please share them in the comments!
