I don't know why. Maybe it'll be BLUE BIRD, I'd prefer JEWEL, though.

Maybe she'll surprise us with something completely else.
Actually, she doesn't from the past two or three years I remember.

2005: fairyland (HEAVEN, Bold & Delicious/ Pride released after)
2004: Moments (INSPIRE c/w GAME, CAROLS released after)
2003: No way to say (Agrees with your observation)
2002: Voyage (Agrees with your observation)
2001: Dearest (Agrees with your observation)
2000: SEASONS (SURREAL, AUDIENCE, M released after)
1999: Boys & Girls (A, appears, kanariya released after)

So actually, 4/7 are from singles released much earlier in the year. Song selection all depends on the theme that year; fairyland must have been the only song really tailored toward the theme (I have a feeling it would have been HEAVEN or Pride instead).

I think the songs in contention are the ones already performed on TV (Startin', Born to be..., BLUE BIRD, JEWEL), with BLUE BIRD and JEWEL frontrunners.

can't wait til' this years...i hope she sings something older.
Haha, I can't wait to see if Kobayashi Sachiko will be on the list. I love her stage animations, ESPECIALLY last year's one. That one was amazing.

But unfortunately, according to the info I drew up, the songs she performs come from singles released that year... So unless Kouhaku is desperate for a better song for the theme, then it'll be one of the four I listed above most likely.
