Oh no, Toa....I'm still rooting for her but that was rough.
Momoha's was good but her expression didn't match the song at all imo which made it kind of off putting.
Karin blew me away! Especially for her first shindan test and being so young, she seemed really emotionally connected to the music. I have high hopes for her.
Airi's was cute but I think the outfit/song choice was all wrong. The outfit reminds me of OG members making a guest appearance at hina fes haha it looks like the dress Miki wore for her 20th anniversary concert. Should have had Shoji parading around the stage in a speedo.
Meisa's performance was really well rounded, great job.
Niina let me down a little bit this year. We already know she has a great voice and can sing in tune well, I wanted to see her improve more on other skills. She was slightly ahead of the beat the whole song which made it not that enjoyable for me to listen to. No groove. For doing a song with such little choreography, I would expect the rest of the performance to be stronger.
Watching someone do Tokaikko Junjou around the age of C-ute members when it was released was fun.
Aoi's wasn't too bad considering how awkward her movements are haha. It was cute to watch but I'm not sure why she got Akari's award? (Watching on Bilibili where the commentary is cut out)
Props to Sara for trying something different? Haha maybe she was inspired by Ayano's solo fes performance? Well it's good rhythm practice, she kept her vocal rhythm with the song pretty well. She has energy and a big smile which is always good.
