Good.. Good... performances are good! She will do Missing or Sweet Scar, I think?

Song 4 u is a good choice I hope she'll perform that one (Can I wish for Return Road? LOL)

Ps. Oh God, why is no Sachiko Kobayashi.

I would love to see Missing! but its most likely that she will sing Song 4 U xD another human dress ? ^^

Im hoping she performs something off of again or LOVE... just to try and push sales...
she might even do something off of the classical album!!

Yay for Porno Graffitti!

Yey for Kuu and Ayu to be there. I can't wait♥

As for YUI, it's probably because she's going to 'indefinite hiatus' state and something like, last performance as "YUI" so her last stage is in this Kouhaku.

God, why there are 5 Johnny's there, which most likely will be the winner.

As for Ayu song, I believe it's gonna be Song 4 u, not because it's TOX2 song which last year she sang that first TOX song, but the theme really fits, and nice for an opening.

that's because she's fierce. i bet she'll show up with an inflatable santa on her head. ilh

smh at those crap johnny's acts.

it'd be a dream come true if dir en grey could just crash that **** and ruin everyone's day. :heart

ayu, kyary and AKB are the only ones I'm interested this year.

i wonder what AKB will do??
Maybe Sugar Rush?!

Not surprised here...but also not going to be a surprise if she goes first again, for the fifth consecutive year (CDL as the reason). Now, I have a feeling Ayu's not going to be a major driver for the red team; it could be the idols of AKB48/SKE48 and Momoclo that will be the major factor in their effort to defend against FIVE Johnny's (Arashi, SMAP, TOKIO, NYC, and KANJANI8!?) and the boys of the white team...

This also applies to "Perfume". It ought to be said that all of their performances are fully playback, albeit I don't want to start the playback discussion anew.

Maybe I am not young enough anymore to have acts like that meet my demands, but still I don't get the point in having singers come to your show that refuse to actually, well, sing and whose intention therefore solely lays in making an appearance on stage to promote upcoming musical releases :drunk

for those types of acts its all about the playback... thats what they do. there is no question about it nor do they try and lie about it.

besides, sometimes they sing live as well.

kiary!

I can understand that because Perfume's whole act is being flawless/manufactured/robotic where as Kyary is just a wig and fake eyelashes with a recording contract.

I was thinking it would be cool if she sang Song 4 u and she does exactly what she does in the PV thanks to an hologramme it would a fantastic performance ! I just dreaming lol

Interesting list.
I'm surprised to see Momoiro Clover Z, wonder what song they will sing. As for ayu, I really hope for song for you!! :luv2

Many good artists in the Red Team !!!
The white team is boring for me, they need more bands

Can't wait to see her performance!

:thud sobbing, she is Kouhaku

the majority of the new artists are annoying novelty acts, like Golden Bombers what a joke

anyway hopefully Ayu does Song 4 U
