Kumi Koda performs "Moon Crying" with Skyward Sword earrings

Kumi Koda made an appearance on TV Tokyo's Ongakusai (Music Festival), where she performed "Moon Crying". Her infamous comeback song after Avex put Kumi on the naughty step and confiscated her bags following her 'Pussy goes rotten' comment on the radio back in 2008.

The earrings Kumi is wearing for this performance remind me of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Y'all who have played that game and remember it well will know what I'm referring to.

Kumi's vocals were like unrefrigerated cola and milk. Flat and off. I don't know whether it was nerves, not being able to do a sound check or not warming up beforehand, but this wasn't Kumi's strongest performance. We know she can sing this song, because we've heard her run rings around it in the past.  This was still a really nice performance though, if you watch it with the volume really low. 

I wanna know who decided the song and performance order. Because how are gonna put Kumi Koda singing a ballad right before MAX performing a 90s Eurobeat banger!?
