Thoughts on Vega

My goodness, I still cannot express what is up with Eripon's dancing, but in that the material effect is that I can't stop watching her on stage, that's an undeniable win that she shouldn't stop doing it, right? From the first set: Groups that have their sync shit together and look impressive on the stage from distance as a single entity: MM, Anju, Byonz Working on it but well on their way: Ocha Norma Why are you like this, viewer better off focusing on the VTR: J=J, Tsubaki And I wish that was just my usual preferences coloring this, but that's music based, as I haven't watched concert lives in years. Plus, I have little to no opinion on Ocha Norma. Finally, I like Tokyo Blur and Baby Spider very much, and the extent to which I was distracted from the songs by the stage sloppiness was dismaying. Tsubaki improved a lot for the second set. While J=J improved, they were still notably not on par with the other groups' chemistry. However, J=J was joined in their tier in the second set by Angerme, which only deepens my grudge against that song. To put this into context, several of the shuffle units had better sync than this bottom tier. Yokoyan, Eguchi Saya, and Hashisaku trying to make Statements by dye-ing their hair, and it's working (Hashisako also growing her hair out, having ceded the bowl cut to Hirayama, who is ROCKING IT) That's a big yikes on the attempts at big showboating vocals from most attempts (mostly during shuffles, but even on a couple of the singles). Major kudos to Eguchi and Nishida for actually hitting their pitches and not sounding like they were straining hard for it. (Oda and Hirai as rock solid reliable as always. The extent to which I did not notice Dambara shows why I dislike the giant-ass rosters for every group.) Onna de Chikyuu wa Mawatteru is very good! Like, it's blatantly a rehash of some predecessors, but textbook is textbook because it works even with replication. And those KSS worked so hard on their sync. That performance was ready for prime time.

Hoshibe repeating some of his best tricks from Borderline in Onna de Chikyuu wa Mawatteru. Borderline was a Hirata joint, wonder if they repeated the combo for Onna de Chikyuu. Certainly, the result was similar enough that I was able to figure out that the latter was reminding me of the former relatively easily.
