[Rumor] NHK 58th Kouhaku
 

If I'm not mistaken then Ayu will be performing talkin to myself @ Kouhaku

Hmm. That surprises me a bit as it would suit better with a ballad (imo) there. At least the Kouhaku performance is confirmed now, yay :)

hope YUI & namie will perform this year!!! especially namie... she hasn't attended kouhaku since 2003 >_<

Namie is also listed there, with Baby Don't Cry ^_^ (I lubb that song!)

Wow great list! AKB48!! AWESOME XD!

maybe "decision" is better....please...please Ayu:yes

It's great to hear that Ayu is going to perform talkin' 2 myself, although it's a bit different from the past of performing a ballad, but I think it will be a great performance!

Thanks for the info.

t2m again?...i really hope that she will perform other song...any one will do =)

I think she's more likely to perform "Together When..." though.

talkin' 2 myself is indeed "different" for Kouhaku, if we look at Ayu's history there:

1999 Boys & Girls
2000 SEASONS
2001 Dearest
2002 Voyage
2003 No way to say
2004 Moments
2005 fairyland
2006 JEWEL

^ most are ballads..wonder how t2m will be performed in kouhaku..im sure there will be more extravagent props.

dont tell me talkin' 2 myself will be performed exactly the same way ayu performed in tv appearances. then it will be nothing special. :(

^ Hope not but lately her Kohaku performances were nothing special

just another performance...

thanks for the news :X

Isn't this the list that predicts what she'll perform? :|

Oh that changes everything. If that's the case probably she'll sing the new ballad.

It's the end of the days with the big skirts! No wonder Kouhaku ratings are plummeting like there's no tomorrow. It's not special enough! But then again, artistes tend to perform their singles instead of unreleased tracks (JEWEL was like an exception, but it was originally meant to be a single anyway) so I'm glad that at least she wasn't going to perform glitter! That would have been WAY UNFITTING for the occasion (similar to that year she did fairyland, it's winter outside and you're singing a summer song?!)

I think they need to give them more exciting sets like certain variety shows do and also try and get artists to create a more exciting performance. The only highlight in the last kohaku was the DJ OZMA crazy act.
