How sad...out of that entire list I only care for two of the artists performing...

Is that the final setlist??

Because Kumi is missing ;__;

Kumi either doesn't want to participate or is not invited cause of the lack of important releases

Linked Horizon? WOW
No ayaka? Too bad

By now I think it's not the complete list!

I think Kumi will defenitely participate and I doubt that ayaka is missing...

aiko, ikimono, AAA, Sakanaction, ayu <3

Yay for Ayu and Linked Horizon! Wish Kuu is there and Ai
I wish to see Kobayashi Sachiko again :(

There's no Mika Nakashima?????

Nice (but Kuu missing makes me sad! ;_; ), I hope I get the chance to watch the performances!

I wish I could watch this live! :(
It saddens my heart that I'm not there anymore.

Matsuda Seiko????!!!

This year is so weak imo, I only care for Ayu and T.M.Revolution... I missed Kuu :(

But no surprise seeing no kpop considering that last time they included kpop artists there were complains...

Yay, Sakanaction!!

next year I want to see Ieiri Leo :heart

Finally no Kuu (Koda Kumi) to deal with! Could this change the red team's misforutunes...?

Also glad to see miwa going to the Kouhaku! But this also means no ayaka...

But, Morning Musume had multiple number ones this year, why aren't they there? :(

maybe so with how much hate they have for her, but I doubt it will change their misogynist crap.

Considering Koda was the only thing even interesting about Kouhaku, I don't think I'll be bothering to watch this year.

I bet AKB would be the only performance to watch now. Besides Ayu I guess.

Yay miwa, E-girls and Linked Horizon are going to perform for the first time !!!

Yesss Sakanaction! ;___;

Only excited for them and Nana Mizuki <3

Glad to see my favorite artists on the list (including ayu)! <3 Although, I'm a little bummed that Kuu-chan isn't on that list. o_o

After what I heard about EXILE winning the 55th Japan Record Award (denying AKB48 a third consecutive and breaking Ayu's record with four wins)...I have a feeling that the WHITE team (the male artists) are going to win the Kouhaku.

Sorry, red team, but...

^ Oh they did? I gotta watch that, one of HIRO's last appearances with EXILE, and his wife (Ueto Aya) hosted the event too. Must have been emotional.

Red Team last won in 2011. It will be interesting to see the outcome tomorrow evening.

White team won again. But this time the (dreaded) ball system is BACK! 9 balls to 4, just to let you know, so it wasn't even close. The majority of people went with the white team (if you're wondering in terms of popular vote; I just call the ball votes like the U.S. presidential electoral votes). I'm still mad at this though, not letting the red team to win, and it's all because of too much Johnny's...why are they the force that even AKB48 cannot handle??? Maybe here's an idea that I would think about:

Or maybe let's try to be fair in some way, particularly artist list, in a way to sway to a more closer voting competition, and a possible start at a red team dominance... But that isn't going to happen pretty soon, unless a significant number of Johnny's start to lose steam, which I don't think is the case right now, even SMAP or ARASHI...

No wonder why I don't care about J-pop (despite my AKB48 and certain Johnny's groups following) so much - too much Johnny's dominating Music Station and Kouhaku (possible reason why the boys keep winning), along with a combination that Ayu's getting too old for me...

Exile win for the fourth time? it's really weird...wasn't the system for japan record awards is just three times max?

lol @ how they keep having to push regulations because no one can ever have a chance at anything.
