Well, like the title says, anyone know why Utada Hikaru's never on Kohaku Uta Gassen? It's been bothering me for a while, Hamasaki Ayumi's been on it and so have other various famous Japanese artists too, but I've never seen Utada Hikaru on it. :(

i will tell u y..
bcause..
Utada Hikaru is also 1 of the hardest artist 2 b invited to the show..
so Ayumi can say dat she is diff frm Utada

i dont know what this show is (is it like Music Station, Heyhey!?) but, usually artists gets invited to these shows to sing and promote their new song.
ayumi hamasaki is the queen of avex and well liked in japan. so avex entertainment focus on her the most, so thats why shes on lots of shows, and probably on the show you're referring to alot. as for hikaru, i dont know. she may not be the main focus of her record company.

u gt wad i mean?
but i noe dat is 1 of the hardest artist 2 b invited in japan..

Hmm I don't either. I wondering that myself. But I bet she's probably not in Japan during Christmas time, she would probably be in New York or something. Or they probably don't ask her to perform or she turns the offer down. There could be many reasons, but we'll probably never know. xP
