eww. no SPEED this year. i still doubtful red team could win

yay! Ayumi will do a great performance ^^ . I hope the red team will win this time...

^ Me too. The red team definitely has the best singers, but the white has all the popular boybands. >_<

I really hope the Red Team will win this year. GO AYU! XD

Namie Amuro will perform too :yatta

I wonder which songs Ayu will perform :yes

as said
I read in other forums that thsis is stilla prediction by Oricon
they do this every year
none of the artist is confirmed

looks okay...but what are Perfume doing there AGAIN? They do not belong on a MUSIC show.

^ They're a band... they're popular. NHK picks the artists / bands who have had a lot of activity and high sales and who are popular and such. They're cute and their songs are catchy, and the Japanese people really eat that up.

Well, if this isn't the final list, can't wait to see who's actually performing. Unless Ayu does another 3 1/2 hour concert, we'll probably see her there lol

^ how about W? xD

^ great idea xD
now im off doing a version of M with backwards vocals xD

The white team has plenty of good singers on it too. :) In terms of vocal ability, a lot of people might actually side with the white team over the red I think actually.

when is it?

^ December 31th

many great artist this year with shiina ringo, kato miliyah and amuro namie !

Momusu is back! xD
And I can't wait to see if Ayu's gonna use a big dress this year too. haha
