Ayu will perform 'INSPIRE' at the 64th Kouhaku Uta Gassen

The point is, JE has been existing for ages. Unless they changed the voting system 10 years ago or so, I can't explain how white team always got massive votes in recent years.

I think it all started with arashi becoming extremely popular 5-6 years ago...

Arashi alone can have magic like that...?

Perhaps AKB should insert some special gifts in the cd to lure more fans to vote for the red team then... . There are the best sellers in the last four years.

And probly ayu should make a super big opening next year. That might help as well .

Yes. Why else have they been hosts for the last 3-4 Kouhaku?

I think Ayu's performances have had a positive reception, else I doubt they'd keep her as the opening act (even though I am aware that the ratings during the openings are generally lower than during most of the show).

I actually had no idea she was performing on the show today (haven't been paying attention, I guess) and I just happened to catch it tonight. I thought she did great-- far better than any of the acts immediately following her if you ask me.
