It has been decided that back number will appear on the "76th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen," which will be broadcast on NHK General and other channels on Dec. 31.
This marks back number's second appearance on "Kōhaku Uta Gassen," the first in three years since they appeared in a special segment in 2022. This time, participating as members of the White Team, they will perform two songs: "Doushitemo Doushitemo," provided as the NHK Winter Sports theme song, and "Suiheisen," a song written in response to a letter from a high school student aiming for the Inter-High School Championships that were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Regarding their appearance, Iyori Shimizu (Vo, G) commented, "I am very happy that the three of us can stand on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen stage again while feeling nervous. We are going with two songs that are incredibly, incredibly important to us, so we look forward to your support on New Year's Eve."
