Actually I don't even think that it was ever said if Kouhaku selects the songs for the artists or not. Shimatani performed there in 2005, the year in which her biggest hit was Garnet Moon, yet she sang Amairo no kami no otome (which was released in 2002). Even though fairyland didn't have a grand performance Ayu still sang it at Kouhaku and she could've done HEAVEN or Pride at the time. Considering that sometimes the choice of the songs seems random I am pretty sure that the people arranging the show have a big say in the selection of the songs.
