Those two dancers are terrible, like those zombies from old Hong Kong scary movies.

Looks as though she definitely is or was felling ill for her performance on Music Station Super Live and possibly last night's performance as well:

Last night's 65th Kouhaku Uta Gassen has been posted in its entirety to Dailymotion on the following channel:

Watch it while you can, NHK has already taken down some clips that were uploaded earlier (including Ringo's).

Ringo's performance was much better than last week's, but she is still definitely not 100%.

It's a bit of a scary/sad thought when you realise that she's gonna most likely use this as a staple song in every show from now on... all because of it's sales.

It's also probably going to be a sad fact that after this, she won't sell like that ever again, unless she does another patriotic tie in song for the olympics or something :-p

I doubt it. Honnou didn't become a concert staple, plus World Cup is so 2014.

Actually that's a good point about Honnou.

Maybe her future sales won't be so high. But much as I am glad to see her succeed commercially, maybe less pressure to appeal to the mass market will give her more freedom to experiment musically. She seems to have built a core group of fans that are willing to follow her in the long term.

Still hate the song, but this performance was a lot more fun. And of course I love seeing Uki again -- especially when he's acting ridiculous on stage.

???

I'm pretty sure Uki wasn't at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen show. The backing band consisted of the people who recorded the song. It was Yukio Nagoshi and Shinichi Ubukata on guitar. Like it should have been at Ringo Expo '15.
