I know!

As you know, Namie is on tour and I'm sure she doesn't want to stop her tour just attend the wh0re rating show.

As for Hikki, she never attends stuff like that...I don't blame her because it seems like they want her to perform there just to get their ratings up. I would like for Hikki to perform there just once though. If she had performed there, I believe that she would have performed Flavor of Life of course. The red team would win for sure! XD

The list of performers are mainly from AVEX...yawn. Don't NHK ever get tired of having only AVEX artist there. (>_>) It's the same thing every year....avex, avex, avex, pony canyon, avex, avex....you get my point.

Really, why all the negativity? Just because your favorites aren't there. Anyway, Hikki's a boring live performer. But I do agree it's disappointing not to see Namie there. She's dynamite.

Why don't you just watch the show and have some fun with it? It's an old Japanese tradition. People should just be glad that Japanese traditions are still alive in this day and age.

And if all you're seeing is avex, then all you're looking at are the J-pop stars and ignoring over HALF the performers in the show who sing enka or don't sing at all. Why doesn't anyone pay attention to the enka performers? Or the comedians in between? Or the special segments? There is more to the show than J-poptasticness!

If you think everyone's just there for a ratings ho-down then don't watch. Everytime I watch, I don't see that. I can see the fun everyone is having, especially the enka performers who prepare all year for this show. It's their one time in the year to really shine. And more than anything, it's reflective of the sense of community that's a part of the Japanese character. And I'm happy that they try to broadcast that in the show.

The world is however you choose to see it.

Other than Namie dancing around on stage, what's the difference between her performances and Hikki's performances. Performances don't always have to be flashy you know. Try rewatching Hikki's live performances again! Just simply watching and listening to them sing (without pouncing around on stage) is great too....isn't that what enka do too?!

BTW, NHK has lost all of "its" tradition when they started letting no talent singers on the show....I'm not going to name names but most of those singers there just shouldn't be up there. Most of them up there and just there because of their sales. For peak sake, even though her sales aren't "high", why aren't singers like Crystal Kay aren't invitied to the show. That girl has an outstanding voice.

But what do I know...I'm just an American girl who lives in a country filled with both no talents and talents and me saying that most of those singers up there on the list shouldn't be on there is out of line.....
