[C+R+E+AYUMI]

the RED TEAM is perfect!!

[Midori-chan]

YES, Ayu and Arashi! That's all I wanted to hear! ^.^

But they are not on the same team! -.-''

[zyoeru]

I'm excited about this Kouhaku, it'll be my second one! I'm happy so see a lot of my favourites performing. I'm going to watch this one in its entirety.
The theme sounds interesting. I wonder what Ayumi will perform. Most likely You were..., eh?

I love male enka singers. XD

So excited about this Kohaku! They better do it grand, last year was AWESOME! And artists always look/sound/perform their best, usually. The great annual J-Pop festivity haha

I really want to see it live this year, (nice time zones that allow me to see it live without being on the middle of the New Year party xD), but I don't know how! I know there's some kind of software you can install to see Japanese TV on your computer, can anyone help with that?

I'm so happy that TVXQ are gonna perform omfgggg!!!

I'm just wondering again...will this year's Kouhaku use the famous yet complex "ball system" again for this edition, something we used in the 57th (2006)?

[Bigtop]

I just found out that the official order of artists for the Kouhaku have been released! Take a look: http://www9.nhk.or.jp/kouhaku/artists/index.html

And once again, how will the winner be determined? Will there be the "ball system" again - the first time since 2006 (the 56th edition)?

[hpg23]

First half 37.1%
Second half 40.8%

First half had 1.4% higher than last year, while second had a 1.3% drop. In conclusion, the Kouhaku ratings are pretty much the same as before. I don't know individual performance ratings yet though.

[Corvina]

Thanks.^^
That's pretty good, I guess.

Now I'm waiting for the individual ratings.
