Like last year, this year’s edition of Fuji TV’s annual year end music special, FNS Kayousai, will be split up over two nights. The first night will take place on December 7 at Tokyo’s Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa, while the second night will take place on December 14 at Fuji TV’s headquaters, also in Tokyo. The first set of performers was already announced, and the second and third sets were recently revealed.
The second lineup announcement revealed that Yumi Matsutoya and Ken Hirai will be performing on the show’s first night. This marks Yumi’s first time appearing on FNS Kayousai. On the show, she’ll sing “Smile for me”, the theme song for the current Fuji TV drama “Chef~Mitsuboshi no Kyushoku.” She’ll also perform her 1983 song “Dandelion~Osozaki no Tanpopo” as a duet with Ken.
Sayumi Michishige has announced on her blog that she will officially be making a return to the entertainment scene next year sometime during spring. After graduating from Morning Musume 14′ and Hello!Project two years ago Sayumi completely disappeared from the public eye, announcing that she would be taking a temporary hiatus from all entertainment activities after graduating. Last month Sayumi made a surprise blog post sending fans and media alike into a frenzy. Shortly after she started to blog regularly again about her every day life, leading up the latest update confirming her comeback.
Sayumi hasn’t specified what activities she will pursue for her comeback (variety tv, singing, acting etc.) but we’re sure she will be very cute doing it.
