The Kohaku really started to decline when, first, they stopped inviting Sachiko Kobayashi and then, second, Korean artists became persona non grata. Yeah, where are Nogizaka46, Yuzu, Bump of Chicken, Southern All Stars? I wish they would look at hit albums instead of just hit singles of the year.

Nogizaka46 had an excellent year, they even sold more than AKB's sister groups.

Wow, gonna be quite a 80's boom on Kouhaku tonight. With Seiko, Yakushimaru Hiroko and now Nakamori Akina added to the list.

The show starts in about an hour from now. Since I don't have access to TV Japan or a proper stream, going to tune in and listen on NHK Radio 1 instead. Let's hope all goes smooth for red team host Yoshitaka Yuriko too. I understood she had some moments during the rehearsals. ![]() |

Wait...can you listen to NHK Radio 1, even though you live in Finland (anywhere outside Japan)? How?

Well, usually no. But I have a Japanese IP (located in Osaka) right now. Using VPN service.

Yeah, geographical restrictions limit to Japan. Much like Super Bowl online streaming, which is currently restricted to the USA...

White team's 3rd consecutive win at this year's Kohaku

ARASHI please don't host Kohaku again in 2015 ~_~

Doggone it. I think AKB48 messed up, Arashi capitalized it. White team deserved to win that, I felt AKB48 was "boring" and Arashi just kicked some butt. Much like how the Packers won NFC North back in 2013 over the Bears...
I have to wonder if adding Nogizaka46 will help the red team to victory again, because we've been seeing too much white team "dynasty" - can we just get rid of Arashi from being host??? They celebrated their 15th anniversary this year, but there needs to be some way to counter that! Karen, I agree with you... ![]() I'm getting "ARASICK" of Arashi hosting. You messed up Johnny's Countdown, well to a point that even Fuji TV doesn't want to pick it up this year... |

i feel that AKB48 performance is so boring as well...and other massive group...we can saw huge different between them and E-girls...
Arashi is ok..but for me Yoshitaka Yuriko did worst...

I think that Arashi, surprise appearance from Southern All Stars (31 years since last time!!!!), Fukuyama Masaharu and more swayed the favor to the white team as usual.
Yoshitaka Yuriko did worst? Really? (hope you are not comparing her to Arashi here, not exactly a fair comparison) I thought she did okay from what I heard on radio, but yeah, haven't watched the actual footage yet. At least I preferred her over Ayase Haruka last year. Also, this was her first time hosting any show. And that being Kouhaku to boot. Well, too bad that red team lost. Especially for the girls ↓↓↓ ![]() From KitaRie's (AKB48) twitter just before the verdict. Aw. Last edited by Zemus; 1st January 2015 at 10:54 AM. Reason: . |

As for the show I really enjoyed Akina. She sang really well and I was really happy to see her in a good physical condition. I can't lie and say Seiko's performance was a bit disappointing as I really would've preferred a nice medley of her 80s hits as Missing You has gotten old but she still did a great job.

Yeah, it was great to see Akina still around and well.
As for Seiko. I too, would have preferred another song choice. Missing You had been performed twice on Kouhaku already. But, I am glad she somewhat nailed it in the end. Felt she was nervous all evening. Yakushimaru Hiroko was tense too and couldn't deliver her best perhaps. I was very much looking forward to Woman "W no Higeki" yori. One beautiful song composed by Yuming. Gotta love her angelic type of voice even now 30 years later. Has always been unique! |

Why is it not even fun anymore? Too much domination by the white team? Ayu doesn't want to be in the Kouhaku anymore? Any reason?
