isunshowerhey remember how i said i'm not doing this again? turns out it's a useful way to keep track of faves for the... uh.... for the r/ProduceJapan user polls........ listen. shh. [updated later: the episode six survey CLOSED EARLY? bruh. some of us take our time watching the episode.]
wa da da: god, no one from this group really stood out to me bar mana, who i already liked (i loved her spin early on)! mikoto, who's been on my pick list along with her sister for a little bit, was absolutely invisible to me here; i get the impression i was supposed to be impressed by kawabata ranka, but it just didn't happen. idk, i think uchiyama rin did good? unrelatedly i'm floored by mana getting second. i'm happy, but floored. she got zero screentime elsewise so i'm really glad the audience saw something in her that day; she may not have ranked as high as ranka but she did well!!!!!!
hero: yui was absolutely the best choice for main vocal here, her style fits the song the best. i loved this performance because it had a lot of really excellently thought-out harmonies--i would have liked to hear more of those than the sections that just had all the girls singing in unison but it shows that shizuku knows what she's doing musically and it sounded really nice.
run run: ok im gonna be real with you guys... joa did not deserve that center spot or the first place. at all. she gives me bad vibes for some reason i don't really like her but even independently of that, she didn't have as much charisma as yuuki or yurara who i think would have suited the center more. yurara got a lot of really compelling center parts in the first half of the song and yuuki just has so much swagger and drive in this performance (the pair dance with koto also went really well for her)!!!
shine a light: not related to the performance but this edit confused the shit out of me. i truly don't understand why chiharu's entire team unionized against her with no context given by the editors, but i also don't think she reacted well. it kind of left me not really liking any of them tbh. but also, what was up with this stage? at least 2 of the girls messed up really obviously? like hazuki is not coming back from that...... my fave from this performance is hina though she has a really nice bright voice that suits a song like this
