Akiko Wada reveals the backstage situation at the Kouhaku: "I use Arashi's or Nakai's toilet"


1: :禿の月φ 2013/12/03 13:32:20
Akiko Wada, who has become a staple at NHK's Kouhaku Uta Gassen, has revealed some secrets about what goes on behind the stage of the year-end event.

It is said that there are more or less 300 people participating in the Kouhaku this year which will be held on the 31st of December. All singers aspire to go up on the stage of the NHK hall during the last day of the year, but the venue isn't what one could particularly call "huge." So how do the performers get around backstage?

This topic was featured in Wada's program Akko ni omakase! last December 1. There are apparently 7 dressing rooms at the NHK hall.


The 1st dressing room is used by the male host(s), which means that Arashi will be utilizing this again this year. The 2nd dressing room is allocated for the female host, which means this will go to Haruka Ayase. The 3rd dressing room is reserved for the most distinguished male singers such as Saburo Kitajima, Hiroshi Itsuki, and the like, while the 4th dressing room is reserved for the female singers such as Akiko Wada, Yoshimi Tendo, etc.

All the other young singers are then separated into males and females, and use one huge room each in the basement of the NHK hall, while the AKB48 groups use the studio of the broadcasting center located next to the NHK hall as their dressing room. The judges also utilize the broadcasting center for their dressing room.

Sakiko Matsui of AKB48 revealed on a radio program that they "ran into MomoClo who just finished their set as AKB48 were on standby." It might be easier to imagine the dressing room situation while keeping in mind that these situations occur.

Akiko Wada also said: "There are toilets in the host's rooms, so when Arashi or Nakai host the program, I use theirs".

トイレと言って居座ってそう
I get the feeling that she says she's gonna use the toilet, but she's actually hijacking their room and makes herself comfy

嵐「うわぁ… 早く出て行けよ…」てなってそう
I can imagine Arashi going like "Uwaa... hurry up and get out of here..."

自分はそこら辺の歌手と違いますよアピールか
So she's trying to say that she's different from the other singers, huh

大したヒット曲もないのに毎年出てるよね
She doesn't have any huge hits but she still gets to sing every single year

ああ、男用か

Ahh, men's washroom

女性司会者のトイレを借りればいいんじゃないか
Why doesn't she go use the the female host's toilet?

和田アキ子が紅白辞退したら、出演OKしてくれるアーティストもいるだろうなぁ。
I bet there are some artists who'll accept offers to perform at the Kouhaku if Akiko Wada withdraws

AKBグループが大勢でいるからじゃないの? 選抜メンバーだけ出とけばいいのに
Isn't it because of the massive amount of AKB members? Why don't they just make their senbatsu members perform?

今年は後輩の綾瀬の楽屋で借りればいいな 
っつうかなんで男の楽屋に行くのかわからん
She should probably use her kouhai Ayase's dressing room this year. Rather, I really don't get why she has to go to the men's dressing room.
83: 名無しさん@恐縮です 2013/12/03 15:19:27 ID:LIpBdlaRO
女性司会者は毎年変わるし中々行きづらいかもしれないが今年はホリプロの後輩綾瀬はるかなんだからずっと居座る事も出来るなw
Maybe it's hard for her to go the the female host's dressing room since that changes every year. But this year it's Ayase, her kouhai in Hori-Pro so she can even linger there for a long time w

和田アキ子は歌手活動を限りなくしていないのに 
なぜ毎年出場できるのか意味が分からない 
裏で何か闇の力が働いているとしか思えない
Akiko Wada almost never sings anymore, I really don't get why she gets to perform every single year. All it seems to me is that a power of darkness is behind all of this.

毎年新曲出してるしコンサートもそれなりにやってる 
歌手活動はわりと地味にまじめにこなしてるよ 

ちなみに今年の新曲は秋元康プロデュース
She comes out with a new song every year and she's also doing concerts every now and then. She's actually pretty diligent in pursuing her singing career.
Oh, and her new song this year was produced by Yasushi Akimoto.

女性司会者の楽屋でなく男性司会者の楽屋に借りに行くって話してる。 
実は男である事のカミングアウトだろ。
So she's saying here that she goes and uses the male host's dressing room, and not the female's.
Isn't this her coming out of the closet that she's actually a man?

綾瀬はるかのとこじゃダメなの? 
事務所の後輩なのに・・・ 
しかも同性の
Can't she just go use Haruka Ayase's?
She's a kouhai from her agency after all...
And of the same gender.

なんでこいつ毎年出てんの
Why is she on this program every year?

視聴率は悪くないからな、毎年。 
何だかんだで華はある歌手だろ。 

こいつがしょっちゅうトリと務めるはアホかと思うが、じゃあ代わりにだれをトリにするかと言っても今一ピンとこねーんだよな
Because the ratings aren't bad every year. Whatever everyone may say, she still has an air of glamour about her.
I do think it's stupid that she gets to sing last year in, year out, but then who else would you put last? No one else really comes to mind.

アキヲはドリカム吉田の歌を認めてるからドリカムなら気分よく譲るだろう 
一回トリやったときはへんな新曲だったから不評w未来予想図Ⅱでやりゃいい 
今年は天童だと予想
Akio approves of Dream Come's Yoshida so I think she'll gladly give her the last spot.
Well, she did sing last once but she sang a weird new song so it wasn't well received w She should sing "Mirai Yosouzu ii"
I'm predicting it's Tendo this year.

華はないな。キーも低すぎるし 
トリは演歌の大御所系で良いだろ
No, she doesn't have that sense of glamour. She sings in such a low key. The final spot should go to a distinguished enka singer.

AKBグループの誰かが必ずウンコしてる 
100人以上いたら1人くらい絶対にウンコしてるって
I'm certain that someone from AKB poops. If there are 100 people there, there's bound to be at least 1 person who poops.

So what slot is Wada in?

She's not a singer anymore, right?

嵐も5人いて、トイレ争奪戦になってるかもしれないのに 
そこに居座る和田って
Arashi's already got 5 members, and they're probably fighting over the toilet themselves. And Wada's there with them?
