Thanks for sharing - I think this is going to be the BEST Kouhaku we might ever see! It's great to have Arashi be in the nominations list, and hopefully Arashi accepts their nomination, especially when they REJECTED their last year's nomination - we'll just have to wait and see the official words from the NHK who will be entering in the Kouhaku...
And by the way, is THIS the list of confirmed entries, or is this a list of invitations/nominations of who would be coming to the 60th Kouhaku? This only lists 50, but generally the Kouhaku restricts the number of entries to 54...
It's great to have Ayaka running for possibly one last time before her hiatus, and it's too bad Mr. Children is not here all because of lack of single/album releases this calendar year up to this point; I think this might be really exciting. And I might be wondering how this will really work out, from who will be officially entering the Kouhaku to how the Kouhaku will really end, especially last year it was just the final "digital" tally in studio who won, when in 2008 the dramatic lighting of the Tokyo Tower was done to see who won, and in 2007 the famous "ball system"...
I actually miss that famous "ball system" already.
