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.
They invited Leah Dizon, Nakagawa Shoko and AKB48 to get more Akiba-kei otaku viewers, IIRC. (AKB48 aren't really gravure idols though. ^^;;) I like Shokotan though (more for her singing/blog/tarento stuff than her gravure stuff though), so I'm a bit happier than you. I don't care for Leah Dizon, though...
But from what I read, those three will be in their own section (I think they'll open the show? not sure).
Edit: Nope, the H!P groups will be opening the show, followed by some enka singer. Leah, Shoko and AKB48 will sing after the Oshiri Kajiri Mushi segment, according to the NHK Kouhaku songlist page. Then Kome Kome Club will sing after them.

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask so you guys will have it on a torrent? I would watch it tomorrow but we can't get it and our TV Japan is also down. Is there any other channel it will be on in Canada?

Last year I said I'd not download it again but without kohaku utagassen it's somehow not new years even.
lets hope they dont goof up again like last year.

Similar sentiments... but I'm "doing it for the wife."
"goof it up?" Are you referring to the "body suits" or the torrent?

Caught the end of it on TV...
And I can't believe they ended it with SMAP's Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana AGAIN!
Seriously man, I am so sick of that song...
As for who won...
Hidden:
Akagumi is forever cursed b/c Shirogumi won again (although it really has been pretty weak year for women)... O_o;

haha... Can't believe that. But how's the opening? Was it good? Coz I saw Akigawa at the beginning of the list, hence I suppose he would start first.
There where a few more tributes, likely worth mentioning but I dont feel in the mood to offer any spoilers here. If someone wishes to do subs for this years talkative parts, it would be very much appreciated.
Maybe its just me but I do feel a sense of personal responsibility in actually understanding the full conversation on these topics, relating to tributes and such. Or maybe it's just some age-related thing about being reminded one is not as young as one thought anymore seeing this.
Great on the part of Hitoto You as well, in her performance. Very touching indeed.
although I cant say Leah dizon is much higher in my ratings after this participation than before

Hi guys. I just watched the first half of the show and I was hoping someone could tell me the name of a specific performer. She was the girl that played the piano about 35 minutes into it. She was wearing jeans with a red jersey. I took a look at the wikipedia page but couldn't find out which one was her. Thanks.
