Susan Boyle, the Scottish singer who made a sensational debut in April on the TV show “Britain’s Got Talent” will sing on “Kouhaku Uta Gassen” on New Year’s Eve. “Kouhaku” is a popular annual Japanese music show watched by millions. Performing on Kouhaku is said to be a huge honor and big highlight in a singer’s career. It is rare for a foreign singer to be invited as a guest – this is very big news in Japan. Her performance of “I Dreamed a Dream (”Yume Yaburete” in Japanese)” from “Les Miserables” will be surely one of the biggest moments of the show this year.
