紅白歌合戦2026の出場歌手42組 紅組・白組の初出場7組にモナキやEBiDAN
Teen Favorites Among Seven Newcomers on Kohaku 2026 Lineup
1NHK announced the lineup for the 77th Kohaku Uta Gassen on November 13. The New Year's Eve music show will feature 42 acts in total. Of the 41 acts on the red and white teams, seven have never appeared on the show before. The program will air from 7:20 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. on December 31.
2The performers compete on two teams, red and white. This year the red team has 20 acts and the white team has 21, with one more act in a special segment. The two newcomers on the red team are =LOVE and CUTIE STREET. The white team adds Ayumu Imazu, Ae group, EBiDAN, Macaroni Enpitsu and Monaki.
3Some names on the list match a trend ranking released by Mynavi Teens Lab earlier this week. The lab surveyed 586 girls aged 15 to 19 in September. The ranking had five categories, including people, songs and words. In the people category, Oyone, the youngest member of the vocal group Monaki, was chosen by 22.4 percent and placed second. In the song category, EBiDAN's 15th anniversary single came first with 27.3 percent.
4EBiDAN is a collective of male artists from the talent agency Stardust Promotion. The collective also placed third in the people category with 19.8 percent. The top pick in the people category was MILK, chosen by 56.7 percent. MILK will perform on the white team for the second time.
5NHK said it judged each act mainly on three points. They were an act's success during the year, support from the public, and how well the act suits the show's planning and production. The broadcaster said it made its final choices by considering all three together.

全文訳
1NHKは11月13日、第77回紅白歌合戦の出場歌手を発表しました。大みそかのこの音楽番組には、全部で42組が出演します。紅組と白組の41組のうち、7組はこれまで一度も出たことがありません。番組は12月31日の午後7時20分から午後11時45分まで放送されます。
2出演者は、紅組と白組の2つのチームに分かれて競います。今年は紅組が20組、白組が21組で、さらに1組が特別企画に出ます。紅組の初出場は =LOVE と CUTIE STREET の2組です。白組には、Ayumu Imazu、Aぇ! group、EBiDAN、マカロニえんぴつ、モナキが新しく加わります。
3出場者の中のいくつかの名前は、マイナビティーンズラボが今週発表したトレンドランキングと重なっています。同ラボは9月に、15〜19歳の女の子586人に調査しました。ランキングには「ヒト」「ウタ」「コトバ」など5つの部門がありました。「ヒト」の部門では、歌のグループ「モナキ」の最年少メンバー、おヨネさんが22.4%に選ばれて2位でした。「ウタ」の部門では、EBiDANの15周年記念シングルが27.3%で1位でした。
4EBiDANは、芸能事務所スターダストプロモーションに所属する男性アーティストの集まりです。EBiDANは「ヒト」の部門でも19.8%を集めて3位でした。「ヒト」の部門で1位だったのは M!LK で、56.7%が選びました。M!LKは白組で、2回目の出場をします。
5NHKは、おもに3つの点で出場者を判断したと説明しました。それは、その年の活躍、世の中からの支持、そして番組の企画や演出にどれだけ合うかです。NHKは、この3つをあわせて考えて最終的に選んだと話しました。
文法ポイント:現在完了の経験(have never + 過去分詞)
「一度も〜したことがない」を表す。本文の seven have never appeared on the show before がその例で、紅組・白組の7組がこれまで一度も紅白に出ていないことを表す。
