I downloaded finished the entire Kouhaku show & I watched Namie's performance of Hero
It's quite evident the Kouhaku hosts were very reductant to let her perform seeing that they were stalling for time
Namie's performance was good & I like the performance montage they put together before she started to sing . The stage setup reminds me of Anything PV to some extent
Was hoping her appearance on Kouhaku would allow the Red team to win but too bad she wasn't counted as part of them
Also vocals wise , I think Namie was on point . I've seen much worst TV performances , the most insulting 1 to me is lip synching especially on a prestigious show like Kouhaku
I'm not saying who's the culprit on here but I think their fans are so immune to it by now *deadpans and to me , I rather you sing horribly on live TV shows (ex SMAP's Nakai is tone deaf but he still sings live despite this) at least you tried . What's the point in lip synching on every song , even when comes to ballads ?
