Kouhaku 60

It's that time of the year again! My post is quite a number of weeks late but that's okay. There was Tezuka in my Kouhaku... or I mean Shirota Yuu, in my judges panel. It was strange.. because I can only see him as TEZUKA!


  • Ayumi started off the event but sang with much difficulty as usual, versus EXILE.
  • Then there were a bunch of children performances like the Ponyo girl.
  • AKB48 were cute as usual but then there were the NYC boys (lawl?)... oh wait, they're part of the Johnny's, no wonder. I see now.
  • Speaking of Johnny's, Snow Prince Gasshoudan kids debuted, not officially however...
  • I was surprised to finally see Arashi on Kouhaku. I figured they would've been on it a long time ago, considering their popularity and the fact that the other Johnny's groups like SMAP, TOKIO, Kinki Kids have all been on it before.
  • Funky Monkey BabYS - what?  it's like school food punishment wtf.
  • Somehow Susan Boyle made it onto the program.
  • SMAP did a Michael Jackson tribute.
  • misono got publicity via Koda Kumi's medley performance.
  • Angela Aki always sings the same few songs.  I don't find her all that impressive.
  • There was a Korean group, Tohoshiki (I think - popular?)
  • Perfume's One Room Disco was <3
  • Then there was Mizuki Nana's *fantastic* debut. Awesome. I'm quite happy for her.
The theme this year was the "power of song" and the white team definitely stood out and won it. That's quite a number of years in a row now...
