In an astounding development in Japan's music scene, a rock band has achieved the unprecedented distinction of securing the grand finale performance slot, colloquially known as "Daitori", at the high-profile "Red and White" music show. This event marks a historic first in the entertainment industry where a rock band has been chosen over conventional pop performers for the climax of this prestigious yearly event.

The "Red and White" music show, or "Kōhaku Uta Gassen", is an annual music event aired on New Year's Eve in Japan. This event has immense cultural prominence and is watched by millions across the country. The choice of this rock band as the final act reflects a growing acceptance and acknowledgement of rock music in Japanese entertainment circles, defying long-standing traditions favoring pop music. This step serves as an indicator of evolving musical tastes and cultural change in Japan.

In the US or EU, rock bands play significant roles in the music scene and have long been part of final acts in major music events. This equality in western music industry can be compared to Japan's recent acknowledgment of rock music, signifying a step towards broadening cultural diversities in the national music industry.
