Yuma Futani, General Manager of Deployment Headquarters, said: “Is it really possible to do red and white, no, is it okay to do it? The violence of the new corona virus made me feel that way many times. Still,” Now is the time to sing. “Oh everyone ale”, the thoughts we entrusted to Kouhaku were able to be delivered with the help of everyone who appeared, and I am proud to say that it was good to convey them. And he announced the comment after finishing the rojiblanco.

Last year it was held for the first time in history without an audience. It became an unusual style of broadcast not only from NHK Hall but also from multiple studios. “The stage, which can be said to be a remodeling of the NHK Hall, was made because there were no spectators, and it produced images that the camera projected from all directions, which had never been seen before. I was able to do it. “

Regarding the moderator, “In an unprecedented red and white space, moderators such as Mitsuyoshi Uchimura, Fumi Nikaido and Hiroshi Oizumi displayed an exquisite combination in all directions. And every singing scene was brave. I think I have delivered energy, sympathy, enthusiasm and several beers to the tea ceremony. I want to thank and look forward to the medical staff who are fighting Corona at the forefront of the medical field and protecting the smiles of children. Wishes, kentama set a world record, and red and white connected the world. At the end of both armies, a soft but powerful love was sung, and I think it touched the hearts of all the spectators. “

“Red and white legend Saburo Kitajima also kept an eye on the new red and white remotely from start to finish. And this year, to assess viewers’ votes, there are many votes that can be voted based on viewing time. I did a new attempt to convert. Even though there were no customers, I think everyone who watched TV was deeply involved in red and white, “he said with deep emotion.” The 71st Battle of the Red and White Song may have sought a new style and having glimpsed it within a series of restrictions. It feels like a miracle that it could have been safely transmitted. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all the artists and viewers across the country. “
