The 74th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen (第74回NHK紅白歌合戦, Dai Nanajūyon Kai Enu Eichi Kei Kōhaku Uta Gassen) will be the upcoming Reiwa 5 edition of NHK's New Year's Eve TV special Kōhaku Uta Gassen, to be held on December 31, 2023. The show will broadcast live from NHK Hall.

Events leading up to broadcast

On September 27, NHK released the broadcast times. The show will start at 19:20, and wraps up at 23:45 (JST), with a 5-minute break for the latest news. On October 6, NHK announced the hosts, who will be Hiroiki Ariyoshi, Kanna Hashimoto, Minami Hamabe, and Kozo Takase. Additionally, this year's theme will be "Borderless: New Year's Eve That Transcends and Connects", that will mark the beginning of the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the first television broadcast in Japan.[1]

For the first time since 1980, no artists belonging to Smile Up, Inc. (formerly Johnny & Associates) to appear on this edition of the Kōhaku Uta Gassen. This was known after the announcement of the list of participants on November 13. The absence of talent from the agency is a consequence of the juvenile sex abuse scandals from Johnny Kitagawa.[2]
