Re: Kasahara Momona Becomes Candidate on Produce 101 Japan

The final 11 have been selected. Meet ME:I https://i.imgur.com/1VYV5ZQ.jpg I didn't realize the live show started so early, and by the time I started looking for a stream, they were already well into the ranking. I couldn't find a stream in any of the usual places, so I just went to twitter to see w...

From Fuku's penultimate concert, "Shabondama" with Kei, Mari, Rika, Tsuji, Ai-butt, Sayumi and Reina.



Tsuji and Mari sound like they haven't sung in ages, lol.

Re: Kasahara Momona Becomes Candidate on Produce 101 Japan

There are a couple of girls who are definitely gonna get cut that I think are way better than a lot of the current top eleven, but I'm shit with remembering names. Well, not so fast! Some crazy movement in the latest rankings, and the one girl who I was sure was gonna get cut is now in a decent pos...

Those covers are garish af, but it's high-end garish, lol. The title graphic is about the only thing that misses the mark for me, because the photos and styling are great, and they're just overall fun covers.

I don't see as many MM lives as I do from the other groups, but Yokoyan definitely sounded better than I can ever remember at Fuku's grad concert, and she got a lot of solo lines. It could just be that she had a good night, but the fact that they put so much on her plate to begin with leads me to be...

Re: Kasahara Momona Becomes Candidate on Produce 101 Japan

I didn't get that feeling, but it might be because I only saw the episode-edited performances. I wasn't blown away by any of the songs, either. They all feel very off-the-rack Kpop to me, and that's not the fault of any of the girls. There are a couple of girls who are definitely gonna get cut that ...

Yeah, they're going harder with Kiki than I thought they would, but she's pulling it off better than I thought, too. The real test will be her first original single, though.

Has Momona always had RBF? A little bit, yeah. She's always overcome it by simply not being bitchy (or at least not appearing so), and while I didn't get that from her the group discussions, she definitely came off a little bit that way after losing the position battle. After seeing her perform a f...

So everything I said about Risa above still stands. The song is pretty good, but I think I'd like it more if, say, Maa-chan or even Kiki were singing it. Risa just doesn't have much emotional range, either as a singer or as an actress in her videos. I just never buy what she's selling. You know who ...
