This has got to be the least-crowded Kouhaku we are about to ever see in a long time!

Some notes:
  • Am I seeing 4, 5 or 6 Johnny's artists?
  • Motohiro Hata was predicted to be but he's NOT in...
  • YUI's still NOT interested in the Kouhaku...
  • And if you thought the rumo(u)rs about Masahiko Kondo going to the Kouhaku as part of an agreement with Johnny's, FORGET IT - he's not coming to the Kouhaku!
  • With the fact that Ai Otsuka is pregnant earlier this year after the marriage with RIP SLYME's SU, she's not going to be able to perform for a while as she awaits for her baby in April.
  • AAA was part of the red team last year, but they're in the WHITE team this year.
  • Now why in the world there is 44 when in 2006 there was 56, in 2007 and 2008 roughly 54, and last year 50? Either the count is right, or there may be some surprises...[/b]
Erm, what's with this in-your-face commentary?

Because I heard the broadcast of Kouhaku is going to start later (about 15 minutes.) If that's true, if you calculate 2:20 - 3:00 minutes, per each, that's about 5 acts accounted for.

I do not think that Shoujo Jidai and Kara etc were invited to Kouhaku. I'm pretty sure you must have debuted well before the Kouhaku is finalized, because Shoujo Jidai and Kara both debuted very very recently, probably after Kouhaku planning took place. The artists for Kouhaku probably accept their invitations or decline sometime in the fall, like end of September and October, because they must have more than 3 months to plan, rehearse, and execute final decisions for Kouhaku.

And besides, Tohoshinki was invited to Kouhaku even when they are still popular in Korea, and they accepted this invitation.

Despite recent booms in Korean Wave, I don't think the Korean groups have made as big an impact as it's been supposed in western forums which like Jpop. Yeah, the Korean Wave is back, but it's not as strong as when Tohoshinki was very popular. =\ There are many more talented Japanese artists who didn't get invited; I'd rather see them get invited than Kpop groups which yeah, they can sing what they are given, but again, better and more musically adept artists are out there in Japan.

And Akiko Wada with 34 times O_o

I know. Most of the enka singers I think have been there like 25+ times.

It always kind of, opens my eyes a little bit more.


Anyway..I hope she sings...I wouldnt mind You Were, crossroad, or Virgin road...

but i'd rather have a song like Microphone...

but I think a ballad might be best right now. I just hope it's not any of the string of ones that sound the same.


^omg neko, her performing a classic would be amazing. I didn't even think of that.

Hopefully with fewer artists we can see more songs from the rest! (Especially Ayu, of course)

I really wish Utada Hikaru would've accepted her invitation this year (assuming she got one) since she's never appeared before and she's going on hiatus in 2011.
