No, the CDTV one is live. That is why Ayu usually had an even busier new years night. She'd go from NHK to yoyogi to the CDTV live.

Last year, Namie's performance for it was pre-recorded, but prior to that she was part of the live show.

[TITANIC]

^ ohh. I was thinking that show was pre-recorded as well. well yeah, not much attention I will spend for kouhaku this year. only Ayu and Ayaka and still no chance for Red team to beat white team

[dreamland2.0]

yay!! Can't wait for Ayu, Perfume, Nana Mizuki and Arashi!!

[NintendoHTF1242]

Yay for Angela, Ai Otsuka, Mika, Kuu, Perfume and Ayu. Don't really care for everyone else tbh...

[freedreamer]

With ARASHI..i see the white team winning for the 214347278 time in a row

[Polyrhythm]

^5th...lets not over exaggerate ...

[taskinillusion]

Yay Red Team!!, but yeah, with all those boy bands on the White Team, ugh, they don't stand a chance.

[KarenPang]

I'm naturally happy for ARASHI being their upcoming/1st appearance at Kouhaku but I'm not so sure if I want to watch it

after all it's assumed that they will make their way later on in the night for the Johnny's countdown just like TOKIO & the thought of sitting though an entire Kouhaku event to watch it's just D:

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

By the way, the theme is 歌の力 ∞ 無限大 (Uta no Chikara (infinity symbol) Mugendai), or "The Power of Song - Infinity"

I'm excited for flumpool and Remioromen!!

[KarenPang]

oh the theme sounds cool & YES I'm excited for flumpool also

it's their 1st Kouhaku appearance too *________*

I sure hope they sing a song from their upcoming debut album What's flumpool ?!

I want Frame ;_____; but Misumetetai will be great & so's Hoshi ni Negai wo

if they do Natsu Dive with all the dancing I will start laughing so hard at them

[dreamland2.0]

hmmm I guess Nana Mizuki will sing her song Mugen then, as it relates to the theme!!

Which means they should be on pretty early, so you won't have to suffer through most of the show.

I've grown to appreciate Kohaku. I used to feel the same way, just being bored and fast forwarding to the artists I like. But now, I've at least learned to appreciate other forms of Japanese music for what they are. Still does occasionally get boring though.

Is this the confirmed set list as well? I mean, the order?


I really wish the females would win...

yeah this's the finalised list for the Kouhaku event , Sabrina

[SunshineSlayer]

^ She meant is this the order they will perform in. It's not the performing order. Ayu wouldn't be that late in the show.

I'm pretty sure that Namie's performance from last year was pre-recorded (?). The show itself is live though.

[maze]

Yay for Kuu, Ayu, and Ai-chan

^That's what I said. Last years was prerecorded, but every other year she was on the show it has been live.

[amorphose]

Wow... Ayu is the only person I care to see this year.

Maybe Ai too, depending on what she performs? I haven't been following her recently.

I just don't like male Enka singers. I don't mind female, but I don't really like male. Haha. I don't know why.

But yeah, for the most part I can watch the whole thing through.
