I like watching Kouhaku Uta Gassen also because of Yukie Nakama but this year there will be some compeition from TBS's Record Taishow becuase they've got Yuri Ebihara has host. It will be a tough choice

Just finished watching the whole show! Few comments:

- Mizumori Kaori: Orgasmic performance! I love her!

- What the heck was all that nudity about???? Yukie even had a hard time speaking.

- Hikawa Kiyoshi: He went back to his male self.

- Thank GOD no one did repeats of previous years' songs (i.e. no Nada Sousou!)

- Koda Kumi: She has such a killer voice! I wish she'd just stick to that.

- Kitajima Saburo: One of these days, he's going to swallow those confetti and choke to death.

- Kitayama Takeshi: Mark my words, he's going to become one of those "must have" artists every year from hereon until he becomes deaf and mute.

- Tendo Yoshimi: She was much further back in the line-up than I would've expected based on her status.

- Mori Masako: Forget that studdering drip of an ex-husband of yours. groink-san is available!!!!!!!!!!! She's looking better than ever - I swear!

- Natsukawa Rimi with Jake Shimabukuro: They make a great pair. Great voice along with killer ukulele jamming.

- Fuji Ayako: You've got to love her nails! She's getting hotter with age.

- Mikawa Kenichi vs Kobayashi Sachiko: Kenichi wins this year!!!!! This guy really scares me...

Otherwise, congradulations White Team!!!!! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS WIN! The Red Team just didn't have anything that really jumped out at me. The Hello Project! gang was pretty weak. Great singers on that team, but still PRESENTATION COUNTS!!!!!! You MUST put on a great presentation.

This year's show seemed to be relying a lot on outside (re: non-music performer) talent what with Ninety-Nine's Okamura, Kyaeen, Aki Hoshino, the Eigo de Shaberanaito gang etc etc. It made the show a bit more entertaining although when the Muscle Musical ( http://www.musclemusical.com/ ) people are on I think you're going into the area of overkill.
Without a doubt my favorite moment was the NHK announcer having to clarify that the dancers weren't nude.
For those who won't see the Kohaku I have some photos of the DJ Ozma incident right here: http://lostinube.blogspot.com/
Happy New Year!

This is the 3rd year (4th?) in a row win for white.

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.
