Mariko Kouda came on during the talk segment corner "Watashi, hen desu ka?" She wore her hair very straight, was wearing a velvety brown jacket over a striped polo shirt and white pants. She did the last number on this show, Looking For , with a full band on stage. Not much moving around the stage during her performance but you can just feel the energy as she gets into it, from each step to the sweeping arm gestures. Best song by Marinee I've heard to date.
