yaaay congrats for the 12th attendance!

Fun fun!
So it will probably be Microphone.

oh really?
they were actually invited, but turned down the offer because they need to attend their own year-end shows?
i'm reading from some fans said that they were not invited, because they have not yet made BIG achievements in Japan...so they have not yet qualified to be in Kouhaku~

that's why i thought why this year's artists for Kouhaku are not as many as the previous years.. hmm~~
but Happy that Ayu finally make an appearance!

I'm glad that she is going to be there again. =D

hope she wears another ginormous dress :D

Oh and bigtop, AAA weren't at Kouhaku last year--this is their first time...

Yeiyy, with AKB48 help, hopefully red team will win this year

I think she will sing new song from her new album

thanks for sharing the great news ^^ hoping for an amazing performance..

Oh ayu is not first to perform this means that I need to glue myself to the tv for the entire 3-4 hrs

Well, Shoujo Jidai has been very succesfull this fall. They've only released two singles and both have reached the 100.000 mark, and both singles debuted in the top 3 on Oricon. KARA's first single debuted in the top 5 with their release of the Japanese version of Mister, and Big Bang have been active in Japan since 2008 and their singles this year have been pretty high up n the Oricon, don't remember the exact positions but it's in the top 5.

I don't think it's because they haven't been succesdfull and not been invited but that they have obligations with the broadcasting stations over in Korea. The whole drama with the MAMA awards that is organized by Mnet has made a couple of Korean brodcastin staions mad since the award show is scheduled on a weekend meaning many artist have to cancel their appearances on the weekly music programs. This has lead to many artists actually not attendning the MAMA awards in fear of being "punished" by the broadcasting stations later on. It's a mess, really, and there are many sides to a story and this is one version some believe is the reason.

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

oh cool I guess

Wow they've actually had the 61st Kouhaku enough times for her to appear 12 times? That's bizarre.

Hope she performs Virgin road.

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.

haha, it means she's appeared at the last 12. :P not appeared 12 times at the 61st one. xD

Yaay!

OMG~~~ I love this!!!! :colorjump I'm so hyped up for Kouhaku!! Ayu and Perfume are the ones I'm looking forward to the most :heart:heart:heart
