The ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen’ is the biggest end-of-the-year music event in Japan, where female and male artists compete against each other in front of a panel of judges.

Arashi and Inoue Mao will be this year’s hosts. AKB48 became the official supporters for the show for the first time, and are featured on Kohaku’s official website, counting down the days to the show.

Pics are from all over the place, I'll link sources when I find them.
I haven't seen any SNSD presscon pics aside from group pics, but if you have them link me so I can update. Bless Soosus for her nihongo.

Absences most likely due to Seungyeon MCing, HyoSunJing Invincible Youth 2, Yoona drama filming

KARA being the flawless goddesses that they are

[lei-hime.livejournal.com]

Why skeptical ?
They are the most well accepted korean artists in Japan, and are not even considered as Kpop.

[kissuholic.livejournal.com]

Tohoshinki waited 5 years to get invited to Kouhaku, and KARA and SNSD get invited after just recently debuting in Japan? butthurt.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Neither Kara or SNSD could have done it so quickly without Tohoshinki opening the road so no need to be butthurt tbh :).

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Kara looks so freakin beautiful.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

Yes to Inoue Mao, no to Arashi.

And Kara's stylist(s) need(s) to get their outfits in sync for real. But Hara looks like a goddess *o*
