Kouhaku Utagatsen is the short translation of Red-White Song Battle between female and male singers and groups, broadcast LIVE on neighboring Japan’s national TV-station NHK on the final day and hours of the year since 1951 . it usually begins around 9pm on NEW Years Eve and is divided into two parts . similar annual events are Japan Record Awards first aired on 1959 and FNS Song Festival which began on 1974 . it began as, was supposed to be, AND was a wrap-up epidome of the Japanese entertainment industry . but as the Japanese bubble collapsed, it slowly became a bore of old traditional enka vocalists, barely able to stand .
Sailor Moon is a Japanese comic or anime series which began on 1991 . it is based on junior-high-school girls with magic powers to transform themselves into heroines saving Earth . this phenomenon has spread onto TV-series as well as scale model toy figures, and has considerable fan-base .
AKB48 was sort-of a minor girls-group formed in 2005 where they were accessible in that anyone can go see their performance in the Akihabara Electronics district . the geographical location is meaningful because computers, electronics, girls idols and toy figurines all come together in Japan-distinct culture called otaku, of which this BLog is an avid follower of // they have grown to such popularity and following, that they themselves are divided into sub-groups to appear in different songs and TV programs AND half-a-dozen so-called sister groups have since ripened .
all of the three above came together on December 31 2015, to a historic 2-minutes performance which will live over-and-over in our media player AND my dreams ~
despite the four-dozen-strong members are divided into seniority AND popularity : Japanese national broadcast system NHK had had the insight to pick appropriate members from levels . and while manic fans of AKB Group complain from Day-1 : how each idol’s personality don’t match chose of their played-character, AND Sailor Moon anime and figurine manias argue on how the uniforms are wrong here and there, as this is a soft-core BLog, will only indicate the basics of who’s who .
