Love the outfits!!<3
Vocal-wise, this is imo the best MW live performance. Her vibratos were much more well-controlled, though I don't really like her raspy-ness.
Lyric mess-up? Deaf ear? Injured arm?
Couldn't tell. At all. Really. (:
Like many have said, energetic performance, great start for Kouhaku! I love how she seems to love performing!
(The audience didn't seem to enthusiastic however. /: Is it cos of the perf or some this-is-Kouhaku-traditional-Japanese-yadda-we-have-to-be-polite-only-clapping thing? Anyone knows the reaction of the audience for other performances?)

EDIT: I just watched Koda's TABOO. The audience were also rather unenthu, save for a fan or too. -.- WHERE'S YOUR SPIRIT PPL?!
Okay screw this. Just watch Tohoshinki and hear those fangirl screams. Another point to add for the post below. -.- (Just to clarify: screams when they were introducing themselves individually, none, as far as I can tell, after the perf)
