Tohoshinki live in Kayo Sai Fuji TV

On December 2nd all 5 members of the popular Korean artist group Tohoshinki appeared in Fuji TV's '2009 FNS 歌謡祭 / 2009 FNS Kayo-Sai [Song Festival]'. The annual large scale Year end event has been held since 1974, and for this year the main hosts were SMAP member Kusanagi Tsuyoshi and actress Kuroki Hitomi.

The main concept for 2009 was 'collaboration'. Many young and veteran artists participated. Each young/veteran pair passionately performed memorable hit songs of each decade! Tohoshinki skillfully sang together with Tokunaga Hideaki.

Afterwards the group sat together with SMAP to have a chat. SMAP member Kimura Takuya lauded Tohoshinki. "Even though I'm a man, I find them charming." The Tohoshinki members in turn praised SMAP. YUNHO said "We think the SMAP members all look cool too. It's inspiring to see each of them showing high quality performances in various fields, such as singing, dancing and acting."
