[Official Message] PREMIUM COUNTDOWN LIVE 2008-2009

[truehappiness]

CDL is broadcast as it is happening during the show.. they will not chop any songs out if they do the completely live broadcast. If they choose to show CDL at all, it will probably be live. They only chop songs out when the live was recorded a month / two months / and so on before the airing date. They don't get that luxury of editing with CDL usually.

I hope this CDL is a lot more impressive that Koda Kumi's (which was a little cheaply produced). Of course, ayumi has a larger range of songs to perform, which is a pro.

Was that with MC? I heard she talked a LOT during that one. Moreso than Ayu usually does.

[SolarAngel]

The tickets are still the same price as before. Those lucky japanese (and foreigners) who get to go! They had really better not cut out anything from the DVD. Now if only we knew the tracklist...

The CDL is aired commercial free?

I'm pretty sure Kouhaku is a completely live show, so I don't think it will be pre-recorded. Has anyone else ever done a pre-recorded Kouhaku performance that you know of? I don't know of any... and does anyone know if Ayu's even been confirmed for Kouhaku? She might cut her schedule for this.
Also, I don't think they will chop it in the DVD. It'll probably just have multiple discs.

Pay TV channels are usually commercial free. If it would be aired at the regular TBS then it would have commercials like every 10th minute.

Correct, they haven't done it before. I have all TV versions and each of them include the countdown part for the new year, which indicates it's from the 31st and not the day before.

That's not what I was saying, of course they never made a single artist pre-record the performance, but the whole show might be recorded a few days before it's actually aired. And yes Ayu has been confirmed this year as well. And of course no one is gonna chop the DVD ^^

Just finished balloting! I won't be able to go to the New Year's one but I hope I hit for the 12/30 date.

[Beauty4123]

[Chibi_Venus]

I wish I could go.

Thanks for sharing!
