Koda Kumi: most-watched female performer in Kouhaku

More stats on the recent Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red-White Song Battle) on NHK. The New Year's Eve song spectacular features red and white teams, those being the lucky new Year colors. The white team were this year's winners, and a particularly out of tune SMAP rendition of their latest single "Triangle" pulled in the night's highest rating of 48.6%. But the red team act that got the highest audience rating, and got the audience's pulse racing, was sexy songstress Koda Kumi (photo, 23), who managed 47.2%. Probably because she promised to go bra-less, something that would have been unheard of before NHK started pulling out the stops to reverse the show's - and the network's - dramatic slide in popularity. Koda is called "ero kakkoii," which translates as "erotic cool." And that pretty acurately sums up her often semi-naked, hip grinding style that mimics US female R&B and hip hop acts. Her nearest rival for the red team's ratings crown was "sexy" rival Gorie, actually comedian Gori in drag, with 47%.
