Uh, idk if he'll be on Kouhaku but maybe? His song had more important/relevance in Japan's society this year than Juice=Juice's did whether you want it to or not. The award might be a showbiz award, obviously, but that same award if what gets you on shows every now and then so saying that it doesn't "mean anything" is kind of silly. Just as it is to say that "Kouhaku doesn't mean anything" -- it does. It doesn't mean that an artist/group is any better or worse or whatever, but when it comes to relevance in society and ON TV etc it matters a lot. Which is why it's important.
