Kassa did so well as the Main Vocal for Souzou Ijou as well - if the group does concepts like that again in the future I can see them all rocking it. 

Congrats on getting centre and 1st place. And her 1-pick vote was so much higher than 2nd place - not unusual but glad to see it. Hopefully all the H!P wota were voting for her during the finale Can't wait to see her shine, I hope ME:I does well in the future. 

She does get some criticism and hates on Twitter from Ayane's fans, but it's nothing big. I understand though. Being bumped from main vocal to vocal 5(?) is tough, especially for someone whose main skill is singing. But I am very proud of Kassa to take this risk! 

I understand why Ayane fans would be upset, but the girl herself said she wanted a support role which is why she originally chose sub vocal 1. That being said, Sub Vocal 1 in Souzou Ijou got heaps of screen time/centre parts, so if anyone, they should be upset at Miu !! And the parts Ayane got in Choppy Choppy were good too so its not like all was lost for her.

She could definitely be more aggressive about wanting centre, but then it comes across as greedy and is easily manipulated into a negative perfromance if you do go down that route. Plus I'm sure she knows she already got centre for Tokyo Girl and was Leader for Shut Down so she was probably happy to take a supportive role for the Concept evaluation. 

In PD48, ranking lets you pick your role in the final 2 songs - so the higher the rank you got let you pick whichever part in the final songs (although it didn't seem to matter too much in the song where the person who chose main vocalist seemed to get shafted because production didn't want her there) so here hoping her current ranking lets get get a lead vocal if she doesn't get centre. 

Yeah she didn't get much screen time in the performance for &ME, but her line during the bridge in the official recorded version of the song is SO strong. "Ima chikara ippai tonde ike!~"

Glad she's tending upwards still in votes. Hoping in the finale she gets a centre/larger vocal role in one of the songs they do for that (usually, the top 20 are split into 2 groups, and then all 20 do both the Intro Song (leap High) and some sort of midtempo/ballad song) - so in one of the 10 people group performances I mean. 

Well done again Kassa. Hoping she does well in &ME's performance to push her up again.

The Top 11 seems so stable compared to Produce48, where voting would swing much more wildly it felt like. 

Ranked #1 in her group but #2 overall for Rap/Vocal

Tbh I think Shut Down was a trap choice, it's such a hard song to make entertaining. You really have to have that swagger that the Blackpink girlies have to make it pop. 

Glad her and her team challenged themselves!
