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

[BlackSilence]

i never understood the fuss over INSPIRE. That song is so random. I guess she just goes with whatever the public knows best.

Mellody kinda fits the theme perfectly....

[mi|kshake]

Cool, I never knew Kouhaku had a theme! Makes me wish we had our own version in the UK - it'd be a good NYE watch! (Surprised Simon Cowell isn't on it already)

[channy]

MY STORY feel on this years Kouhaku. A wise choice. The newest single probably is not suitable for a live performance, like most electro-pop songs (as long as one insists on live vocals).

[adantatu2]

I hope she can use her long nails !!
And i'm glad isn't one of her typical songs(evolution,SURREAL,SEASONS,etc)

[freedreamer]

Lol read the lyrics of INSPIRE guys.
She didnt just pick a summer song or random song...

[AyUmIXx]

so based on the lyric, she chose it to match with her engagement announcement?

[Refix]

Not so excited about the song. Personally I don't care that much about what she gonna sing in that show, as long as she perform it well, no pitchy, great costume then all song is well accepted.
Hope she won't use the same costume from her previous concert of that song.

[truehappiness]

She will probably have a new one made just for this like she did for progress and the medley... unless for some reason she decides to get all recycle-y.

[emi♡]

She BETTER, And it better be amazing because this show is boring as shit, and koda isn't even gonna be there.

So glad she didn't pick a ballad.

[YUKARI]

do they actually pick a song by themselves? I thought it's a Kouhaku staff who does it?

[truehappiness]

I think they try to fit the theme if possible.

[SunshineSlayer]

So strange and random, especially considering that the public really doesn't know this song. Makes it seem like she just wanted to go with an easy choice. (they can just reuse the a-nation performance) But hey, I'm just glad its not Feel the Love!! I'll take Inspire anyday.

[ayumisrael]

I actually really love Feel the love, but there are so many reasons why it wouldn't be chosen for kouhaku

[ExodusUK]

If she wants to troll us..she should do Virgin Road

[ayumisrael]

I wonder what she will sing on Mste super live. Hopefully not INSPIRE, just because I love varying.

[truehappiness]

A few Japanese fans are looking forward to a new song medley.

However, I think it will probably be new song + old song... but worst case scenario is SEASONS or something again.

PLEASE NO SEASONS

SEASONS is a great song, but enough is enough...

plz don't jinx it, if we get SEASONS i will personally torture the A Troupe myself and take Timmy's corsets away.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

oh gawd... no SEASONS please.

[YUKARI]

she seriously needs to sing at least 1 song from a new single. if she doesn't it'll be super weird.
