Yay, finally the Red Team won again^^
Can´t wait to watch the full show^^ Will wait for a avi file on jpopsuki, don´t wanna download 30GB ts XD

^^oh yeah the person stood beside Timmy should be a guy. When I watched it I thought it was a guy but I focused more on princess's side :P. I read your post and saw "two other girls", but my mind interpreted as "one girl" somehow lol.

Red team should win IMO. AKB48 is super popular, and they included KARA and SNSD this year. This would drag more votes on red team hehe. And don't forget another epic opening this year from our majesty :D.

I'm so glad... hopefully they will win again next year as well ;).

deleted by NHK! LOL~

I thought her performance at kohaku was really good.

Her opening is really epic this year! i have no complaint for it!

Yeah her performance was really good!!!

I wondered if staying on singing low is something ayu started doing lately or it was just here?

ayu sounded better in the progress intro live than in the actual song! I'm really happy with this performance! i lol'd at the dancers popping out of her dress. amazing. i just don't like how every year at kouhaku her mic is turned up too loud for the music. it really annoys me.. just not so much this time since her voice was really good :P

I feel like the only one that expected great vocals haha Progress is perfect for her voice and the studio version was recorded BEFORE her new vocal lessons :) A pity she didn't perform it in CDL.

Yeahh red team won this time..
The power of girl groups.

My friend also said this is the best opening...
She really know how to open the show...

Cant wait to see the percentage,...
Coz, i think tales of xillia fans will try to catch up Ayu's performance

wow!!! red team won? it's about time...

Her performance was so EPIC!!! :) I wonder if the ratings for the opening were a bit higher than normal since AKB48 was at the start so AKB48 fans probably tuned in from the very beginning

I loved her Kouhaku performance. I thought it was sweet how she changed the lyrics at the beginning to "onaji mirai shinjiteru nippon"

^ yes that was a really nice touch.
