[spec8]

Perfume's performance (low quality):





EDIT:
Ikimono Gakari's performance:

[mixedmedia]

Does anyone here actually like Yuusuke?  Kouhaku's weird since there are a  few ppl who should be there b/c they sold tons and then there's other people who seem to have been picked out of a hat or been given "lifetime achievement" points to appear every year for the rest of their lives.

[Saburo]

Trying to live tweet most of the second half, now being broadcast here in Hawaii.  Muddy picture quality but I guess easier than waiting for a download...

[daigong]

beats this quality lol!



never heard of Yuusuke, mixedmedia but werd, bet it's all politics with dem labels

Ikimono Gakari looked HOT! gotta find more about her lol
