Because he's popular and draws attention.
The Kohaku is losing viewers each year. The Johnny's bands don't need NHK to draw tons of (mostly female) fans. MMA (K-1 and PRIDE) draw viewers from the Kohaku. Note how they've increased the amount of comedians and talentos appearing on the show. With all the things they've gone through the past year (executives caught embezzeling, people refusing to pay the NHK viewing fee) they need all the help they can get.
The old guy who appears at the end (Kitajima Saburo) publically criticized Ozma because of his attitude. This drummed up more attention and anticipation for what Ozma was going to do. During the Music Station end of year special Ozma and his dancers all dropped their pants at the end of the song so people figured it would be something along those lines.

This is a reflection on the music industry promoting male talent more than female talent. Women, like most industrialized nations, control more disposable income than men. This means that appealing to women will give a better ROI. |
no it's only the second year in a row
overall speaking, white won for 29/57 times, and 28/57 for red.
red has won most of the competitions in the early years. but recently, white is doing better.

So nobody's interested in the Kouhaku this year?
I have a feeling that Red is (finally) going to win this year b/c
1. Nakai is hosting for the Red team 
2. There's going to be a special tribute for ZARD, aka Sakai Izumi, who passed away suddenly this year. (and if that doesn't tip the scales in the women's favor, I don't know what will  )

Several of us editors are working on the English Wikipedia article for the 58th event. Still waiting for the song/order. I believe that the 2nd half has a lot more weight on which team wins this thing, so the order of appearance will be vital.
I just don't understand how a bunch of soft porn gravure models find themselves in the line-up, but not Ito Yuna. I'm also pleased that Tendo Yoshimi's voice is feeling a lot better.

I've been out of the loop with a lot of things this year and thought the same thing when I saw the list...

Supposedly Hoshino Aki in the 57th event was popular among viewers. I can see other TV networks lowering their standards in exchange for ratings. But NHK?!?!?!?!
BTW, the song list is out. But I still haven't seen the ordering.
As for the Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/58th_NHK_K%C5%8Dhaku_Uta_Gassen
Eventually it'll look like the 57th article I created a few months ago:
