[confirmed] Ayu will sing Mirrorcle World on Kouhaku

[Bigtop]

That is kind of surprising. Either she's trying to cap off her 10th anniversary year of some sort, or she just likes MW even more...

But here's something that is even more surprising:

ikimono-gakari (いきものがかり) - SAKURA

Ikimono's song is from 2006 - that's kind of too old - two years old outdated! Any comments on this as well as MW decision?

It could be that they want to perform it because it is their first time appearance on Kouhaku. Doesn't have to be the most current song that is always performed. There have been times when artists have performed songs that are more than four years old at Kouhaku (non Enka). For example SPEED is doing "White Love" this year. That song is from 1997.
