Is there any way to stream Kouhaku live on the internet?

UGH. JEALOUS. At least you don't have to make sure what you're downloading is in the right codec and/or size. x_x

I'd SO LOVE THAT, although I doubt it. Does anyone know? :O

I'm watching it LIVE now o-O...
Leah Dizon's been on~
BoA's been,
Otsuka's been
Gackt's been

a lot of Enka singers been~....

currently it's TOKIO

Ooh, Ayumi's on soon! O.O

So does Ayu have to disappear really quickly after her performance to go and do her CDL? :|

Just watched Ayumi performed! Not her best Together When... performance but her dress is beautiful!!!

yeah, she's a bit flat..

she wore white big poof dress, real bling one~ pics uploading XD~ please wait lol
and yes, she'd probably be running by now~

yea.. me too
not her best cos i really think she's tired ..
her eye bags are showing a lil ...

Why? Do you watch it on standalone DivX DVD players or something? Also, truehappiness you are very lucky, I didn't know they show Kouhaku on American TV or whatever you are watching :thud

Choyan:i din noe u r going to upload the pics!anw i had already posted the screencaps on a new thread~sorry!

I watch it on my local Asian station, KSCI-18 or LA 18.

UTB Hollywood is the segment that broadcasts it from 8:30PM to 1AM on New Year's Eve. Look it up online! :D

anyway im watching koda kumi's performance now!omg her outfit is the best i think!!the blue gown thing on her head and her dress!!

Yes, that is exactly it.

Yeah I can see it too! Poor Ayumi rushing to CDL now

I dont agree with you! If you ask me, Gackt's outift is far the best with his samurai costume and the stage was fantastic

gackt outfit looks almost the same for this song's performances!!but anyway i like the way he performed it with the stage design and everything...a bit over but its nice!!

anyway overall i still think kuu's outfit is betteR!!!:o:P

yah so poor thing!she only have an hour to rush to the CDL venue and to get everything prepared!!!so damn rush!!hope she can make it!go go AYU!:luv2:D

anyway after CDL,she still have to RUSH to CDTV special live!sigh...:no

I can watch it tomorrow! It plays on KIKU! ^^;;. So excited.

Miyazaki Aoi is so pretty in yutaka :luv2:luv2

At least the Yoyogi arena is right next to NHK Hall. :P [or so I've heard.]

If she is there then it makes me wanna watch it even more. :luv2

haha yeah she was just there for a while as a presenter but :luv2:luv2

The start is ok but the end of chorus is kinda out...

Anyway I like her earrings + dress!

i like aragaki yui's outfit too~and leah dizon in kimono is just too kawaii~~!

the show has just finished. The results are in...... the winner is white by a huge margin!

gakky's outift was superb for her!!!!! She looks very pretty in that blue kimono

AGAIN!?
I thought the girls would win this time?

Hint:
Since Koda started appearing on Kouhaku, the girls have lost.

Their last win was 2004, the year before Koda started with Butterfly.

Ooohh... this show airs tonight along with 2007 Japan Record Awards. I cant wait to watch it! :D

Hmmm, ic...
Haiz now is 28 vs 30 wins...

why is that?
what's wrong with Kuu?
*but i've seen her outfit for singing Ai no uta, the outfit is not really good! looks weird..*

Well, i thought that the guys performed stronger than the gals today but i didn't like Leah's performance today..

where can i find 58th NHK Kouhaku? i really wanna watch it now.

Cool! Thanks!

If any one in Hawaii has Digital Cable, they are showing Kouhaku right now during NGN2's annual free-preview. :]
(Digital Cable channel 678)

BoA's on right now performing her winter ballad medley. <3

:weep

That. was. BEAUTIFUL. Her vocals were sort of weak but she has an excuse plus I overlooked that anyway....I was to caught up listening to it. It's beautiful yet catchy. That dress was very gorgeous too. Ayu has done well this year. I hope she's able to get some time off to relax next year.

Congrats to Ayu!

LOL!!!!!!! were u trying to be sarcastic or this is really true??

i realise that white team won 4 times in a row..

Reasons why the White Team won:

SMAP

Maybe they felt that the girls were lacking this year....while the males have dominated this year (or last year for those who are in a new year!) Either way, I think it wasn't that many great performers this year anyway....I hope the next Kouhaku is better....waaaaaay better.

@truehappiness: Are you saying that Miss Kumiko is bad luck for the girls? :laugh

Why doesn't Utada get to do any of this fun stuff :'[ >.<;;

But I thought they are always there? Even when the red won in the past?

I'm sure she has a chance to do it all, she just doesn't use it. I'm sure she prefers a nice cosy end of the year to one where she has to work.

yaooya..
what song bOA will sing??
i cant read it..
T__T no more namie amuro and ami suzuki
^^ ayumi and mika there..
hahaha
thanks

BoA sang a medley of "LOVE LETTER" and "Meri Kuri". =]

No way, the reason the white team won was because of Gackt's performance. It was like damn freaking cool.

Huh? The last Red team win was Dec 2004. The guys can only have won 3 times since then.

Before 2005 it was as if they teams took turns winning.

Unfortunately, together with Yoshimi Tendo, Ayumi got the lowest ratings of the second half of the show, at 36.4% in the Kanto region. The average ratings of the second half were 39.5%.
One could ponder how much this really matters, though.

Her performance wasn't very good, though, while most of the second-half performers were really amazing. ;/

Ayu's Kouhaku TV viewership rating was 36.4%; surprisingly, it was the lowest out of the 2nd half performers.

koda was amazing compared to ayu and leah
i'm not gonna lie

Or you could change the encoding to Japanese (Shift_JIS). View -> Character Encoding -> More Encodings -> East Asian.

^lol. Completely didn't see the post.

the winer is white team rite??

Where is this posted?

But that's probably cause they don't wanna tire themselves before her CDL. ;) That, and her Kouhaku performances lately have been sort of lackluster, to be honest.

IMO she should stop singing ballads and start doing high energy songs. She sounds the greatest singing those.

ayu_fan929 posted the source in post #152.

I'm sooo pissed that my DVR didn't record Kōhaku! My DVR always acts up and when I play what I recorded, the screen is grey and then it says "The program is not avaliable."! ><
