Aaah, I'm definitely rooting for Rino all the way! She seems a little bit nervous but when it comes down to it, she's talented and she would probably become less nervous over time. I'm so anxious about the results!

[Nayok-Kihara]

Having them perform "Survival Girls" directly after "Uppercut" was (smart) harsh, man. After Gucchi stopped singing entirely I was impressed with Renren adlibbing her way through the lines she forgot; at least she tried to cover herself.

My updated favorites. Maachan and Renren annoyed me a lot in the first stream, but for different reasons they both won me over to some extent with this one. I still love Maruchan and her weirdly shaped head.
1. Maruchan
2. Mokamoka
3. Rino
4. Maachan
5. Riko
6. Renren
7. Kasarin

Yeah, that didn't really change much for me.  Still rooting primarily for MokaMoka, & RenRen.  MokaMoka has so much vocal potential and RenRen remains too adorable for words.

 

One of my other faves did so poorly here, though.  Nonchan was so nervous (although she was also a bundle of nerves in the first audition video) and her dancing was so bad, it would've even been bad if she were in the first group.  Maybe she doesn't have the mental strength to make it.  I'm still pulling for her, though.  Clearly a sucker for the sweet type I guess.  Her english is much better than Rino's btw.  I had a couple of mini convos with her during the streams and she's pretty much level with Nonaka, super fluent with an Americanized accent.  I can't verify this, but the wota say she spent 5 or 6 years living abroad in Canada/the US.  

 

I didn't really connect to Maachan during the Showroom period, but given upper level looks, popularity, and now performance (especially relative to everyone else in that group) she now most certainly feels like a no-brainer pick.

Yes MokaMoka was the stand out for vocals for me too, she got a few Twitter replies from UUG members saying that too... so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

[RenaiDestiny。]

I don't want to get my hopes too high because it seems like everything is telling me that I'm going to be disappointed, but I hope the best for Riko. From day one I've liked her, and I really want to see her go somewhere. She seems more like an H!P-esque girl but I think she could be a great asset to UUG if they go with the 2ki member idea. But if Riko doesn't work out, I'm rooting for MokaMoka, Maachan and Nonchan.

I can't verify this, but the wota say she spent 5 or 6 years living abroad in Canada/the US.

Adachi-san asked her where she stayed in America and Nonchan said New Jersey, if I heard it correctly.

[Potassium Bicarbonate]

Ah so she did.  I skimmed through the judgement section earlier.
 

It's surreal seeing everyone together now since so much of the process had been solo to this point.  Also a bit odd that I can't find any pictures with Maachan.  Maybe she was busy or something.

[anli1]

If only 4 made it I'll be sad

[megumibex]

Hell, I would have been sad if any less than all of them made it. I guess I'll have to get used to this...

[Solarbladepsy]

Welp, I was wondering if they were gonna make a sister group with the remaining auditionees but seems like not

[zam（仮）]

I strongly expected MakoMako to make it.


Thank you.

^ FLASH, I think

[Potassium Bicarbonate]

It would be pretty difficult to be more disappointed than this.  Completely deflated.  Good luck to them.

[Mickey.]

That sucks.

[megumibex]

Well, I at least liked Riko.

[awaitingjupiter]

I can't even with this. I don't even come on here, but I had to. I have no words. 

I really hope there is some sort of surprise at a later date. 

Honestly, if this is all that came from it I have never wasted more time in my life.

This disappointment is unreal.
