Watching the Marine & Maopin one I notice how Maopin calls herself "Tsubaki Factory na ... " instead of the usual no particle. Edit: I'm not quite sure what this linguistic tweak means but I found it interesting.
The Machigai Janai performance was nice, however, it seems like the vocal dynamics (or volume levels) are demanding on this one and doing it live is not so easy. (It could have been an issue with the equipment). I appreciated how they put in effort to make new outfits and hairstyles from the MV It's a haunting tune for sure.
^ Watching that KSS Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku performance, I can't help but think back to the H!P Egg days. It just kind of hit me how much the KSS has turned into a real H!P trainee program of really polishing girls' skills up, versus back in the day when the best they got was a "promotion" to a side unit type thing (The Possible, UUG, Ongaku Gatas). Starting with Juice=Juice, you can see they really invest in their trainees with plans to debut into H!P. These current girls are all so well-rounded...sure one may need vocal work while another needs dancing, but no one is obviously way behind (looking at you Mogi Minami ). Kitahara Momo is also freaking gorgeous there.
Our cable/internet should be getting hooked up near the end of May, so long as there aren't more surprise snow storms and the ground is able to thaw. Updates will probably become more regular around then!
Especially large apologies for how long this took. Been having to do a lot of house repairs, unpacking, and getting surprised by things breaking (dryer, washer, fridge, so on).
It's a haunting tune for sure.
