Rising K-pop stars TXT have been confirmed to make their first appearance at Japan’s prestigious year-end music festival, ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen.’ This marks the only appearance by a K-pop boy group at the festival this year. ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen’ is Japan’s largest music festival, broadcast on NHK every December 31st, and this year marks its 75th anniversary. The festival features the most beloved singers of the year in Japan and is renowned for its ratings and buzz, making it a national program.

At a press conference held on November 19th at the NHK Broadcasting Center in Tokyo, the members of TXT expressed their excitement, saying, “We are honored to be appearing on ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen.’ We’ve always wanted to perform on this stage someday, and we’re thrilled. We’ll work hard to deliver a fantastic stage and performance fitting for the last day of 2024.”

This year, TXT has set significant milestones in Japan, expanding their influence. Their three albums released in Korea and Japan topped the Oricon daily and weekly charts, breaking their record for the most ‘consecutive overseas artist album No.1 achievements’ with 11 albums. Notably, their Japanese single ‘CHIKAI’ (誓い) surpassed 750,000 shipments, earning a ‘Triple Platinum’ certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan. It is the only ‘Triple Platinum’ certification for an overseas artist’s work this year.

Additionally, TXT demonstrated their impressive audience draw with a four-major-domes tour in Japan from July to September. The ‘TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN,’ held at Tokyo Dome, Kyocera Dome Osaka, Vantelin Dome Nagoya, and Fukuoka PayPay Dome, was the fastest four-major-domes tour ever by a Korean artist after debut. They plan to hold encore concerts at Kyocera Dome Osaka on November 30 and December 1, meeting with local fans.

Such achievements by TXT are a testament to their musical growth and heighten anticipation for their future activities. Fans are already excited to see what incredible performances they will present at ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen.’
