Emotional and involving because of Momoka, but less imaginative than the previous appearances.

the whole show so far has been pretty rough to watch. even the acts I like are fairly underwhelming. the Golden Bomber dude getting his head shaved is pretty much the only really wacky thing that's happened.

also I thought the world had escaped from Frozen fandom by now but I guess not!

Ringo's up next though. Save us!

Yeah the show has been less visually impresive than last year (and last year wasn't even THAT good). I'll watch Shiina Ringo and then I'm out.

well it was one of the best performances of the show so far, so it's not a bad stopping point :P

At the very least, we were not plagued by (last year's) Ayase-san multiple gaffes, and there were perhaps a bit less nationalistic overtones (_Perhaps_).

Okay, so I'm not crazy, I THOUGHT it said "Dear My Fellow" but it disappeared before I had a chance to confirm.

Well, the performance was energetic as always, but did the vocals... Wasn't Kanako clearly out of tune in her solo part? And Aarin before that? It's not that big deal for idols, though. Anyway, Momoclo was treated like regulars on Kouhaku this year, so hopefully we'll see them there every year from now on.
By the way, earlier today, I mean yesterday already, I saw on NHK the very end of some sketch featuring all members. Does anyone know what it was all about? Seemed quite fun.

P.S. Happy New Year everyone!

Anyone have a backup of Kouhaku performance?

I'm sure a better res of their performance will turn up.
I'm waiting til I'm back home next week for a day so that I can grab the ts from jpopsuki and make a proper rip.
So that will come for sure
