They've become famous for their high-energy, high-speed style especially using their favourite expression "Biyuden" (武勇伝).<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-MlUCVeqBEJ-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-3784757965999694532016-12-03T02:54:08.495-05:002016-12-03T02:54:08.495-05:00Ha ha, so you guys don't fancy (to put it nice...Ha ha, so you guys don't fancy (to put it nicely) Miwa too - glad we're not the only ones. While your parents puckered, Mom found him strange in a bad way. She calls him "Bed Sheet Guy" because in the 2014 Kohaku he wore some kind of outfit that looked like - well - a large white bed sheet. And she kept emphasizing the fact that the camera crew refused to zoom in on his face for pretty obvious reasons.<br /><br />I have never heard of Oriental Radio and I don't really like Radio Fish's hit "PERFECT HUMAN", but if that means not having Miwa on stage then I suppose I can make do.

Yes, I think there will be the ...Hi there, Noelle.<br /><br />Yes, I think there will be the next generation to look forward to...Hikawa and Mizumori may be the new leaders.<br /><br />Ahhh...I sighed so much relief when I read that Miwa was not in the lineup. He may have his fans out there but whenever he did perform on the Kohaku, I personally thought he brought the pace of the show to a crashing halt. I didn't think my parents' faces could pucker to the extent they did until Miwa showed up.<br /><br />As for Radio Fish, I didn't know who you were talking about until I went to YouTube, and then I went "Ahhh...". It's the guys from Oriental Radio. Well...not exactly my taste either but if they replaced Miwa, then I'm not too sad. :)J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-86047678867095352152016-12-02T09:49:03.389-05:002016-12-02T09:49:03.389-05:00Hi J-Canuck.

As for the remaining male enka veteran, I hope Itsuki will continue to appear at least until he reaches/beats Sabu-chan's record of 50 appearances.<br /><br />Personally I'm OK with Akko, but who I'm glad ain't in the lineup this time is Akihiro Miwa. I could never appreciate his get-up. However, I can't believe Radio Fish are there... Couldn't NHK have picked a better act?Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-81442950401549723512016-11-28T00:19:28.207-05:002016-11-28T00:19:28.207-05:00Hi again, Noelle.
And I'm very happy to have ...Hi again, Noelle.<br /><br />And I'm very happy to have put it up as well. I did notice the decided dearth of male enka veterans and was somewhat saddened as it looks like an era is finally passing. However, I'm hoping that there will be an enka presence on the Kohaku for the immediate years to come at least.<br /><br />I'm also hoping that Gen Hoshino also performs "Koi" as well since I'll be interested to see the choreography that might be used in the music video.<br /><br />If I can be honest, I am glad that Akiko Wada will NOT be showing up this year since I think of all of the veterans on the Kohaku, she has been the one to appear annually just to sing the same one or two songs over and over again.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-58335071429143644422016-11-27T05:09:20.054-05:002016-11-27T05:09:20.054-05:00Thanks for putting up the Kohaku lineup for this y...Thanks for putting up the Kohaku lineup for this year, J-Canuck.<br /><br />While I am glad Kohei Fukuda is back, and Yukino Ichikawa has FINALLY been invited, you could say I'm devastated to see that Takashi Hosokawa is not in there, and that the enka veterans for the white team has been whittled down to just Itsuki. <br /><br />Disappointment aside, I'll be looking forward to the other enka acts, and even some pop performances - happy to see Gen Hoshino and AAA. Hope they perform "Koi" and "NEW" respectively. RADWIMPS will be interesting to see as well. <br /><br />Man, the Kohaku is getting a bit difficult to digest for a fan of aged enka - makes me wonder what the fundamentalists have to say about this. Well, I'm gonna be optimistic about it and hope for more surprises of the pop kind to fill the void.Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-34418862290038251742016-11-26T22:12:33.905-05:002016-11-26T22:12:33.905-05:00Hi, Gen.

I've always been bored by the show in previous years but I would like to see what RADWIMPS does and I haven't seen Puffy live in a while so that would be fun too.Gen Kanaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981551684895504503noreply@blogger.com
