GOOOOO! TEAM RED!!

[Beauty4123]

i see lots of my favorites! (arashi ) i think ayumi will definately be performing, though. it's like a given, lol.

[Bigtop]

When was the last time the Red Team won...back in 2004? I don't think the Red Team still has good performers compared to the Whites, for various reasons...

Huh? Motohiro Hata could be in the Kouhaku?

Anyways, here's what I would put on my "do not put in the Kouhaku" list:

Spoiler:

• Ai Otsuka (soon to become inactive due to marriage/baby; two singles that are not high-caliber to today's standards)
• ayaka (inactive)
• BREAKERZ (style does not fit Kouhaku)
• GLAY (where are they?)
• KAT-TUN (style does not fit Kouhaku)
• Koda Kumi (she's listed but she may be the reason why the red team is losing since she has been in the Kouhaku!!!)
• miwa (not ready yet, and/or not interested?)
• Sayuri Sugawara (not ready yet, and/or not interested?)
• Tohoshinki/JYJ (due to Avex/Korean management disputes)
• Utada Hikaru (soon to be inactive)
• Yanawaraba (sales not really up to today's #1 standards; about to release a new album, first release since April 2009, later this November)
• YUI (not interested?)

[TITANIC]

this list is very few of artist

[AyuGAME]

no shota shimizu?!?!

[taskinillusion]

But of course RED TEAM never wins since the other team is just BOY BAND INSANITY CENTRAL. D:

Do you think people will bother to read what you have said in the spoiler ?

it makes me wonder why sometimes you still go onto those artistes's threads & post ridiculous if not senseless replies

===

I sure hope to see ayumi on Kohaku ! She's due to perform live once more & since the news of her releasing a new album by Christmas , why not ?

her crossroad live performances especially on MUSIC STATION was done really well

I hope she's able to replicate that once more

[freedreamer]

Lol AAA is in a boy grps..haiz...
BRING IN SHOUJO JIDAI! and the red team's chance will increase!

I think the inclusion of SNSD this year may level the playing field abit. The K-wave in Japan is huge right now.

Two words: **** Off. You're insulting to all the artistes whom YOU "do not want" to see in Kouhaku & I'd love to be insulting back to you a million times more.

Anyway, lol are we supposed to be surprised to see Ayu there? I'm just surprised that KARA & SNSD are gonna be in it; seems like the K-Wave is hitting Japan hard lol and wow Hata Motohiro on White Team omg this must be his 1st time there I'm so proud of him

[AyumiAi]

what is this? :S
I'm new so i dont know why artists are on teams and stuff
someone inform me please >.<

you know what I will find it funny , Jun Xiang ?

those artistes that he listed on the spoiler , what if some DO get invited to Kohaku after all ?

isn't it the case of IN YOUR FACE ? ;p

Anyway, lol are we supposed to be surprised to see Ayu there?

nope xD

I really want her to get invited to come on Kouhaku to sing , she deserves so

imagine singing a new song or 2 from her new album *__*

[yuki_unmei]

oh yeah, i love this time of year

it'd be so ironic lol I wanna see him write a long post to explain it all

[happiholic★]

Ayu, Kuu and Kana make me happy. Kana is a pretty popular, perhaps she will help give her team a fighting chance? Poor girls, I always love their team the best!

[ストロボ・EdGE]

@Bigtop

There are so many things wrong with that list, lol. There are many factors of who shows up at Kouhaku or not... some of the artists that are invited each year aren't even that amazingly popular, like WaT for example, and some artists that are huge like Hikki have never been on.

[jbrat2219]

No shock if Ayu is invited... All that's left to wonder is what she'll sing.

he probably doesn't know that not every artiste can just get anyhow invited on Kohauku ~_~

I believe there's a panel group to decide like who should get invited based on certain criteria they have to fufil

Ahhh yeah, I forget about that. It will be interesting to see!

[ownsarai]
