I don't think they get to choose.

I think they do, as long as it is considered a big hit. Or at least have some say. For Arashi, there were certainly more iconic songs that could have been chosen (with the exception of A-RA-SHI of course) the other two were hits, but not ones that they are necessarily super known for.

So I suppose the argument could be made that Ayu could have gone for Voyage, Dearest, Appears etc - songs that were hits, but not the ones that she is most known for. Still though, 3 songs. I'm happy.

It's probably because the original song itself is iconic and would help to represent the 80s era on Music Station.

Oh, Surreal is definitely not in there. When she performed it for Heyx3s last episode or some kind of special a few years ago, the hosts commented afterwards that they thought she would have done a song that's more well known. lol.
