Wow Takako Matsu! I hope she'll perform Otona no Okite ��
ReplyDeleteLooks like Johnny's lost SMAP's seat on Kouhaku afterall, V6 and Kinki Kids are not on the list, but still it got its 5 groups on it, just kinda annoying why Sexy Zone than the senior group.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's quite random for me to see Matsu Takako, Ken Hirai, Yuzu, and Shiina Ringo. Do the agencies take turns for appearing on Kouhaku?
Also Fukuyama Masaharu will again only doing relay broadcast I presume, it's really rude doing it like that every year.
Well NHK is about politic and power anyway, never expected it to be fair and clear. But the list is really boring and this year there is no hit song. It would be awesome though if Matsu Takako would sing the Frozen ost which I highly doubt she will.
Speaking of hit songs, they didn't even get in Yonezu Kenshi or Daoko. He's been slaying since "LOSER" and articles in Natalie that mention his name has been shared to death.
