Kouhaku isn't the show that is meant for promoting the new songs and unlike shows like Music Station ,the record labels can't pay for this one. In 2005 Ayu sang fairyland even tough B&D/Pride was freshly released, it's the same with BoA who sang brand new beat even tough Winter Love was released prior to the show (and last year she sang LOVE LETTER, even tough she had LOSE YOUR MIND, Ku sang Ai no uta and Nakashima did LIFE even tough Eien no uta was released). Chances are Ayu will sing MW yet again. That site had almost the correct set list the last year ^^ And there is nothing unusual in performing upbeat songs @ Kouhaku as it's different than FNS Kayosai.
