I still haven't been able to develop an interest, despite my love for all things Japanese... :sweat:

I used to be interested in it for almost 10 years now. Every new years day I would have to be home before 5pm so I could catch it and record it. This year I could care less because there's always Youtube if I want to see a specific performance. But it's not like there's anyone that really catches my interest this year. :(

I know why he records it every year....

If nothing else, it'll be a great copy. Ralph is nothing if not a perfectionist :)

They did have a tribute to ZARD just now. I thought that was a nice thing to do. :applaud:

They're playing the closing theme song from Kirakira Kenshui...

Maybe I should watch it just for that. ZARD wasn't one of my faves, but I liked a few songs from them/her.

What a fashion statement. :shakehead: :rofl: :hehe:

And he looks old... Beat down. :sweat:

:lol:

bhahahahahahaha! when i saw it i instantly went "what is that sh*t he's wearing???"

yeah he does look old, and skinny, and whatever happened to his hair.

i hear lots of things about this year's kouhaku. like how this is the first time after a couple of years NHK chose the right host and guests so it's gonna make super high viewers ratings.

Do the women seem to be singing off-pitch unless they are singing a traditional tune?
