TWICE will be performing at the famous Japanese New Year's Eve music show 'Red and White Song Battle' for the third year in a row!
On November 14, the music show's website revealed the official line-up for its 70th anniversary episode, and TWICE were included alongside Aiko, Ishikawa Sayuri, Arashi, Kanjani Eight, King & Prince, Ikimono-gakari, Perfume, Fukuyama Masaharu, Hey! Say! JUMP, and Hoshino Gen.
The girl group is the only K-pop group to appear on the show for the last 3 years in a row. Before TWICE, TVXQ, Girls' Generation, and KARA performed on the 2011 episode.
NHK's 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' ('Red and White Song Battle') airs on December 31.

Really happy for Twice! Like to think of them as goodwill ambassadors in Korea-Japan relations. I think its especially meaningful for Mina, as her comeback gathers momentum.
(SIDEBAR) I was hoping I*Zone be invited (so Sakura & co would 'return' triumphantly), but that can't happen with the current Mnet mess. I didn't know much about AKB48 before but I thought the company participated in P48 (not just to promote) but also to learn. So they could form a new 'highly skilled team' HST48 in 2021, led by Sakura. (Would have been nice to bring some change into the system).
