I think that Arashi, surprise appearance from Southern All Stars (31 years since last time!!!!), Fukuyama Masaharu and more swayed the favor to the white team as usual.
Yoshitaka Yuriko did worst? Really? (hope you are not comparing her to Arashi here, not exactly a fair comparison) I thought she did okay from what I heard on radio, but yeah, haven't watched the actual footage yet. At least I preferred her over Ayase Haruka last year. Also, this was her first time hosting any show. And that being Kouhaku to boot.
Well, too bad that red team lost. Especially for the girls ↓↓↓
From KitaRie's (AKB48) twitter just before the verdict. Aw.
