Hikawa Kiyoshi gives a hilarious talk at the 17th Akashiya Kohaku!

Singer Kiyoshi Hikawa will appear on the program "The 17th Akashiya Kohaku!", which will be broadcast on NHK General TV at 7:30 pm on December 28th. This will be his first time performing alongside Sanma Akashiya in 13 years.

On the show, Hikawa, who is celebrating her 26th year since her debut, passionately talks about the feelings she puts into her new nickname "KIINA.", but for some reason the conversation turns into a hilarious one. She also answers questions from other guests, such as "how to care for your throat" and "pre-concert routine."

"Akashiya Kohaku!" is a show where Sanma, who is actually a "music connoisseur" of everything from folk music to pop songs and idols, will host his own version of "Kohaku." He will introduce "Sanma's favorite artists," "songs he wants to listen to," and "people he wants to meet," and you can also enjoy special collaborations with the artists appearing.

The 17th episode will feature AiScReam, &TEAM, CANDY TUNE, and MAZZEL, with Hiroshi Miyama appearing as a special guest.
