Thanks for the response :) I ended up buying another two tickets because I am so keen to see her perform for the first/last time.

That was so predictable....
my album came today, one day after the lottery has end... I couldn´t go anyway but I wanted to give the code to a friend, now that code is wasted because of super slow mail and custom....

I hate that outfit she's wearing in her documentary. But I cried a lot with the 2 videos from her NHK special! Interesting to see her comenting her own career.

She just added 2 additional dates to the tour.

February 27th @ Fukuoka
April 15th @ Sapporo

A new fanspace lottery for those dates will be open in a few hours that goes until the 24th.

^ Was just about to post. :)

Hope is slipping further and further away for her to appear on any end of year shows. Given the Kokuhaku special on NHK, I'm still trying to hold out some hope for a Kouhaku performance as a surprise.

We all knew this was going to happen, right? I mean, continuously. They're going to add more and more dates haha I hope to be there in the very last final (which I don't believe is the June 3rd one)

Namie will appear on this year's Kouhaku !

She will be making a special appearance on the show and the last time she was invited to perform at Kouhaku was 2003

COOL!!! but she's not taking any sides m i right?

Kouhaku wrote that Namie will be appearing on the show as a 'special singer' . I don't know what's supposed to mean

I wonder what song/s Namie will sing , I think she should do a special medley to conclude her 10th & last appearance on Kouhaku

That probably means she's either pre-recorded or will be tuned in while she's singing somewhere else.
Happened with Misia or Utada in recent years.

YEEEES I'm so happy !!

I just saw CDJ's post about her Kohaku performance -- I'm so excited!!!

Personally I think she may have a last appearance on kouhaku next year, as her final performance ever. But I don't know haha I just have this feeling

lol, literally just after I made the post about hope slipping away that she will appear. Yayyyy!

Next 22nd is the result? Hope my card doesn't get declined again. I've just paid it lmao

WOW! KOUHAKU!

Thats right!

My goodness...Namie in her final year, and going to appear in the Kouhaku...this could be really exciting, especially for the red team!

(I know, she's not officially part of any team, but still...)

Seriously the wait for lottery results is killing me--I hope we find out at some point tomorrow!
