ehh,i thought someone posted this already?

Yeah, there really is no need to post this in the Ayu section. Seeing as how it was already posted in the Asian Music Chat Forums.

^Last year was just because PCDL was longer then CDL usually are. Othervice she is somewhere in the middle...?

It's gonna be great to see Amuro too! ^^

It does have to do with Ayu though.

I've watched this show before, hope the girls (red team) win!! =D

lol Not everyone goes to the Asian Music Section. Some people didn't know she'd be performing at it this year.

Honestly, I'd be more surprised if she didn't perform at it. Will this be her 10th or 11th time there?

i know she didn't perform once last few years,right

Wow! Looking forward to this!

Thanks for sharing!

Something tells me Ayu will knock em dead this year!!!! Her lives this year have been amazing :D

It concerns ayu and it is an ayu forum after all, so it's perfectly acceptable.

i find it funny that she's facing off against TOKIO. but seems to me like all the better artists are on the red team, so power to Ayu!

^ She usually faces off against TOKIO, heh. She has the past couple of years, anyway.

I bet the White Team will win. The Red Team hasn't won since 2004, heh. True, the performances are usually great, but it all comes down to popularity, and Johnny's is huge, esp. ARASHI, and they're all on the White Team.

And, to answer my question from earlier, this will be Ayu's 11th appearance on the show. =D

what is that about red team and white team? lol

the red team rocks btw!! xD



thanks for this info ^^



EDIT: just saw the wikipedia thing... xD cool!

i'm excited for this. ayu and namie, ai otsuka and ayaka! yay

:yes, she has been a lot better live this year. it all started with the Days lives at the end of last year imo.

Awesome! Go Red Team! Basically everyone I love is on the Red Team!

No alan in red team...

But yes Tohoshinki in white team! Woo woo

Thanks for sharing - I think this is going to be the BEST Kouhaku we might ever see! It's great to have Arashi be in the nominations list, and hopefully Arashi accepts their nomination, especially when they REJECTED their last year's nomination - we'll just have to wait and see the official words from the NHK who will be entering in the Kouhaku...

And by the way, is THIS the list of confirmed entries, or is this a list of invitations/nominations of who would be coming to the 60th Kouhaku? This only lists 50, but generally the Kouhaku restricts the number of entries to 54...

It's great to have Ayaka running for possibly one last time before her hiatus, and it's too bad Mr. Children is not here all because of lack of single/album releases this calendar year up to this point; I think this might be really exciting. And I might be wondering how this will really work out, from who will be officially entering the Kouhaku to how the Kouhaku will really end, especially last year it was just the final "digital" tally in studio who won, when in 2008 the dramatic lighting of the Tokyo Tower was done to see who won, and in 2007 the famous "ball system"...

I actually miss that famous "ball system" already.

^ this seems to only be the "expected performers" list

if it was official, it would probably include the song they'll sing

Well, if she is going to be there, I wonder what song she will sing.
Go RED team!

I think this is the list of "hopeful" performers. Kohaku always has tons of enka singers and there are none on either list.

Still though, I'd be surprised if Ayu didn't go.
