AKB48 Kouhaku Utagassen 2017

The AKB48 Kouhaku Taikou Uta Gassen 2017 (AKB48紅白対抗歌合戦 2017) was held on December 10th, 2017 at the Tokyo Dome City Hall. This was AKB48's 7th Kouhaku, which is an event based on NHK's own Kouhaku Taikou Uta Gassen. This was also the concert where Produce 48 details were first announced.

The Kouhaku divides AKB48 and its sister groups up into 2 teams, Akagumi and Shirogumi. The teams then compete in a singing competition and the best team wins. A panel of judges decides which team wins.
