If it is because of that, then I can at least understand her principles behind it. It would be different if they were just meaningless tattoos, but hers at least seem to have a deep importance to her and Kohaku had allowed her to show them in the past as well.

It also seems like Ayu wasn't aware that her tattoo wouldn't be allowed at the last minute either since hers had tape over it last year, when normally they would take the time to airbrush it.

The selfish part of me though wishes that Namie would just perform anyways. I think she can definitely be counted on for the Best Artist show again at least this year, since that will coincide with her release date.

yay for
Perfume
ayu
Mika Nakashima
kuu
Kaela Kimura
Ai Otsuka

the others I really don't care about

ok the one that really surprised me was NYC boys

seriously ? They're a temporary unit but now I kinda doubt it & I really feel so sorry for Hey ! Say ! JUMP

anyway most of my fave artistes are on the list except for the lesser well known ones that I support like BREAKERZ .___. but it's nice that ayaka will be attending/performing before she goes on her indefinite hiatus

also go go Fukuyama Masaharu-san & congrats to the 1st timers like Yusuke & flumpool
