Wow, talkin' 2 myself again? I'm surprised it isn't Together when... since she should be promoting that. I've already seen her perform t2m quite a few times and the vocals aren't super impressive so I feel like a ballad would be better, but then again, she did perform JEWEL last year so she might have wanted to switch things up a bit.

I'll be happy to see Baby Don't Cry again though. Unfortunately the characters aren't even showing as they should but I'm assuming Hikki won't be performing since I don't see any of her English song titles listed. I wanted to see her do Flavor of Life or BW/K&C, but I don't remember seeing her on Kouhaku anytime recent anyways.

I agree with many others in thinking that she should perform "Together When..." to promote the upcoming album not talkin' 2 myself. I mean by the time she sings it, it'll have been quite some time since the release so... Plus, the single didn't perform very well so I think a new song would work well. Plus, a ballad just seems more appropriate for the winter season, ya know?

I really wished Hikki would perform at least one song. She definitely coulda performed Flavor Of Life - Ballad Version - or something. That coulda been a mega hit!

"Baby Don't Cry," yes that's Namie's best choice. I was going to say she perform "White Light" but she already did last year so... She could perform "Nobody," the B-Side from that single but i guess it's too similar to White Light. I guess "Baby Don't Cry" works but "Pink Key" woulda been awesome!

Anyways, yeah I don't think "talkin' 2 myself" was the best choice for Christmas but if she can pull it off well, promotion is promotion so I wish her all the best!!

I hope together when will be the song she is performing..
talkin' 2 myself doesn't fit in anyway

You guys, it's been explained like, for the last two years.

That site just guesses what the artist will perform at Kouhaku. No one really knows until the day of performance..

I was expecting Together When... instead =X since the japanese do not like it, i think she should move on, it is not good stuck at a single song :P

i believe she will sing glitter or together when...
i think rock song didn't fit the theme of that show

Finally remembered to move this thread because as stated many times before, this is not an official listing, but is a guess by someone not related to Kouhaku.

Hopefully! I'd rather have a ballad at the end of the year than talkin' 2 myself, to be honest.

yap..
great..
thanks the news..

the last i saw ayu in kouhaku when she sang moments

here's what i found:

Surprised that C-ute is in it. Also that it's Spitz first time. Leah Dizon and Kimura Kaela are good choices. Who's RSP?
