I just saw the NHK Kouhaku artist list for this year...and I'm surprised miwa's out of the list. And Ayaka isn't there either. And why did NHK leave out Leo Ieiri or - most importantly - Namie Amuro, considering this is within her final year of her career??? :O

I'm not sure if this is going to help out with the sluggish ratings the Kouhaku has been facing in recent years, or if I'm going to even to plan to watch it in the first place...

(Then again, I'll be in Europe at that time, the first time I'm out of state for New Year's in quite some time.)
