Japan's public broadcaster NHK announces a list of singers who will perform in its year-end live music show, omitting artists from what used to be Johnny & Associates Inc. after the male talent agency admitted to decades of sexual abuse by its late founder.
For the first time in 44 years, Japan Broadcasting Corp. s (NHK) New Year s Eve singing contest will not include any performers from the scandal-hit former Johnny & Associates Inc. talent agency.
