Singer-songwriter Shiina Ringo appeared on the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen(General TV and others) broadcast on December 31st. Her behavior before singing became a hot topic among viewers.
Before the performance, Shiina confessed that she wanted to meet the host, Naoko Suzuki, the station's announcer. Suzuki replied with a shy smile, "Thank you."
Furthermore, when Shiina said, "I wanted to meet Yuumi Kawai too," the guest judge, actor Yuumi Kawai, showed an emotional expression. The moment the camera switched, Shiina was shown blowing a kiss to Kawai from the stage.
On social media, in addition to comments such as "I'm struck," "My heart has been pounding and unsettling the whole time," and "I'm so jealous I'm in tears," there were also voices of expectation such as "This is definitely something that will happen with Shiina Ringo x Yuumi Kawai one day..." and "I hope that Shiina Ringo and Yuumi Kawai Yumi will collaborate."
