^ It's in the Ayu downloads section!

I thought that her Kouhaku performance was fine. Pretty dress but I thought they could have done more with the lighting because all in all, the performance just gave me a pink/green/dark blue feeling which isn't exactly matching ...

This year's Kouhaku is just weird I think ... because all the songs are fan chosen and I don't know whether this shows that the theory of 'masses have bad taste' really comes into effect. I'm not saying that fairyland is a bad song ... if she had chosen to done the Acoustic Version (which is affirmatively MORE relaxing and beach going) I would have had no complains about this year's Kouhaku!

^ I don't think most of the songs were fan-chosen. The choice by Ayu fan was Dearest, but she performed Fairyland.

I think the poll was made but the artists could chose to sing the fan-favorite or some other song, most of them just decided to sing their latest single. Ayu performed a song from her last album (I think Fairyland was chosen because Ayu and her staff decided she didn't perform any upbeat song on Kohaku for years, Step You didn't fit and Bold & Delicious wasn't a fan-favorite and was being performed everywhere at the same time, the only other option was Fairyland).

Some like Morning Musume and Mai Kuraki decided to do the fans-favorite. And their performances were soo nice *-*.
