Oh whyy..... Kouhaku is really popular and watched nation-wide, it's good for her publicity / promotion. If she disappears from the public eye in Japan, this will be like the final nail in the coffin. On the other hand, Namie has not performed in Kouhaku for years and this doesn't seem to have hurt her sales. I want to stay positive but something tells me this might be the beginning of the end.

Is she only skipping this year or forever? MSSL is nice but Kouhaku has always been more grand in a way...

Don't worry, all Ayu has left is her loyal fanbase, that's who buys her music and goes to concerts. She hasn't done anything to attract new fans for years, so Kouhaku didn't make difference anyway. I think all it used to do is make general public remember she exists. Did many people became fans and rushed to buy her music after watching her on Kouhaku? I doubt that.

Pretty sure she has "graduated" from kouhaku. She won't be doing it again. I wouldn't be as dramatic as to say that it's the final nail in her coffin, though. She's good. Not as popular, but as long as she continues to make good music, I'll always follow and support her.

Her Kohaku performances were always epic, but the audience there is always so dead. Like they don't give a single F if it's Ayumi Hamasaki or some random chic. Still kinda sucks that she won't be there anymore.

The Kouhaku is less than 20 minutes away...the fact that Ayu's no longer participating in the Kouhaku, that's one less thing to worry about here on AHS.

I have a bold prediction, though: Go RED team!!!

This show makes absolutely no sense without Ayu, so not going to watch it.

Well, doggone it. White team won again. I simply don't understand why the white team is having a "dynasty" over the past decade, especially over the past few years with Arashi hosting that some people are getting "Arasick" of this, like me and Karen...

This year, the white team won the singing battle for the 3rd consecutive year, and Arashi's Ohno Satoshi received the championship flag.

Overall, the white team has 36 wins in all, while the red team has a total of 29 wins.

The theme of this year's Kohaku was "Let's sing. Everyone participate on New Year's Eve!"

The host for the white team was served by Arashi, and Yoshitaka Yuriko for the red team.

ARASHI please don't host Kohaku again in 2015 ~_~
Agreed with Karen's comments of Arashi shouldn't be hosting But since Ayu isn't part of Kouhaku anymore (for the foreseeable future), that was something we didn't have to worry about.
