^ I can just imagine how dead the Kohaku audience would be if she performed Sunrise. I'm guessing it will be a new ballad we haven't heard yet.

As far as I know, they do not. They may give suggestions, but ultimately it is up to the artist/record company. They do make you cover up your tattoos though. ^_^ Interestingly in 2002, Namie performed Wishing on the Same Star and had her tattoos showing. I imagine they must have gotten a lot of complaints because the next year she had them covered with makeup for her performance and that's the only time I've ever seen her cover hers for a performance. She hasn't performed on Kohaku since then. Also Ayumi obviously had to cover hers - which was kind of strange last year actually because it seemed like a last minute thing. She didn't have it covered with makeup but with a large bandage that stood out - obviously she had been covering that tattoo at Kohaku with makeup for the last several years, it was only last year that she had a bandage over it.
