The 60th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen

[AyuGAME]

maybe this year red team can win?
with namie amuro and mai kuraki in there? and this is last performance of ayaka right?
maybe red team can win

[Ayumiko]

Ayu, Namie, Ayaka, and Arashi! Looking forward to it!

[TLBandwut]

Isn't this just a prediction/list of singers people want to see perform? It's not confirmed, right?

[SunshineSlayer]

^ That's what I'm thinking. They release a "we hope this artist performs" list every year. There is no way there would be no enka performers on the show.

[KarenPang]

^ well regardless of which , I really love the lineup

Artistes like Saito Kazuyoshi , Fukuyama Masaharu , ARASHI , SID ( ) & etc , what more you can expect ?

I was hoping to see B'z , flumpool & Suga Shikao on the list but oh well .____.

I just don't want to get my hopes up because this list sounds too good to be true.

[waterballoon]

I've recently gotten interested in Namie, so I'll be looking forward to her, Kuu, Ai Otsuka, Ayu, Tohoshinki~

[Calico]

I read somewhere (of course i have no idea where now, sorry) that the committee or whoever was saying that they were having a big change this year...maybe it's the absence of Enka singers, if this is the real list, but even I don't believe that. That would pretty much be sacrilegious.

[maze]

Kuu will perform there, anyway XD


so I'm always sooo happy

[summersnow]

yeah kaela kimura!!

[Diego-kun]

Ok guys, this is not the official list of performers! Actually, it's just a prediction based on the singers' popularity or something like that. I know it'd be great if it was true but you shouldn't build your hopes up! If I remember correctly, Namie also appeared on that list last year and unfortunately she didn't perform finally

[RikkuChii]

^Yeah, that's what I was thinking..

..Namie might not perform..she declined the invitation, didn't she?

[aloopy]

Oh, it's not official?
That's bs! I got all excited for nothing lol

it's just the expected list of artists that people hope will perform?

I'm so so sorry everyone! This page at Oricon has it listed as 紅白予想, i.e., the EXPECTED(or anticipated) guest list. Sorry for that mistake!

I was just so excited to see Kimura Kaela there.

[Yoake]

It would be a really good kouhaku with all that artists!

[hpg23]

You know, we should make like a tutorial on how to watch this live, (maybe a link to that thread that explained how to watch japanese TV online) and more important, a list of the timezones so we know at what time the live broadcast will be seen in other parts of the world ^O^

So weird that there's no enka singers around, frankly I don't see that happening anywhere soon. Kouhaku is all about tradition, there's like no way they are erasing the enka singers outta the way.

I really expect Perfume's performance, they did awesome last year.

Hope the list comes true, specially for Namie, GIRL NEXT DOOR, Aqua Timez and more!!!

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

I'm surprised AAA made the prediction list. I'd be SUPER happy if they actually made it.

[AyUta]

Great! I gotta see this when it leaks!

[ストロボ・EdGE]

As was said before, this is not the official list but I will try to post here updates as new things are announced ( ). Again, sorry for the confusion I caused.

[TITANIC]

So ayaka will perform once again..yiihhahah...

thanks for the info
