 The 73rd annual NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Singing Contest) will be held on New Year&#8217;s Eve again this year. There will be plenty to talk about. Keisuke Kuwata (66) will participate in the special program with his classmates&#8217; band &#8220;Keisuke Kuwata feat. Yumi Matsutoya (68) will &#8220;perform with&#8221; Yumi Arai, using AI technology to bring back to life her voice from her days as Yumi Arai.
 The participating artists are all well-known and talented. Let us introduce the charms of the famous singers with &#8220;happy date&#8221; photos caught by &#8220;FRIDAY.

 One of the singers to watch is Shizuka Kudo (52). One of the singers to watch is Shizuka Kudo (52), who performs with her eldest daughter, Cocomi, a flutist. She will perform a special medley commemorating the 35th anniversary of her solo debut, including her hit songs &#8220;Arashi no Mokoe&#8221; and &#8220;DSS ni Fukete&#8221; (Blown By Yellow Dust).
 It was in April 2009 that we discovered Kudo and Takuya Kimura on a &#8220;dog walking date.
 It was late afternoon in the spring sunshine at Yebisu Garden Place (a complex spanning Shibuya and Meguro wards in Tokyo). Kudo and Kimura were strolling with their two fluffy dogs in the plaza where people were coming and going.
 It was two days before Kudo&#8217;s birthday, and they were probably enjoying some quality time together as a couple while walking their dogs,&#8221; said a source close to the entertainment production company.
 After a while, Kimura sat down on a bench with her dogs, Etoile and Amour, sitting on the bench. Shizuka, on the other hand, went to an ice cream store. A few minutes later, Shizuka returns with an ice cream in her hand, and Kimura stands up with a smile on his face and starts to walk away. On the way to the ice cream shop, Shizuka offered Kimura a scoop of ice cream, and Kimura licked it back. The couple seems to be on good terms even after more than 20 years of marriage.

 Perfume, a three-member techno-pop unit, is making its 15th Kohaku appearance. It was in June 2004 that I caught Ayaka Nishiwaki (33), aka &#8220;A-chan,&#8221; on a date.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 A woman with back-length black hair gets into a Lexus parked in an alley in Omotesando, Tokyo. It is A-chan in a miniskirt. Driving the car is Shigeo Takahashi of the comedy duo Savannah.
 It was reported that Takahashi attended her birthday party, which was held only with her mother, sister, and other close friends, and it became a topic of conversation. However, the two denied dating. They emphasized that they were &#8216;friends. &#8230;&#8230; A report in FRIDAY revealed that they were dating,&#8221; said an employee of a major record company.
 After picking up A-chan, Takahashi drove his car to Ginza Mitsukoshi, where they put on masks and went to the food department in the basement. After enjoying shopping until the store was about to close, Takahashi dropped A~-chan off at her apartment.
 The two were going back and forth between each other&#8217;s apartments. A~-chan was often seen going to work from A~-chan&#8217;s apartment, and A~-chan was often seen being picked up by a car and going to Takahashi&#8217;s apartment.
 Famous artists show a different face when they are with their partners than when they are on stage. What kind of performance will they give at this year&#8217;s Kohaku?
