Also at the event, fans will be able to vote on their smartphones "Which team (Wada or Fukumura) was good?" or "Which Unit was good?" after the performances of all 9 rounds!

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I don't know about CNG, but I think SK TWO would be a reference to the shared S & K in their names (+ two of them).

The weirdest one to me definitely feels like SHUVALAGE. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but what the heck is that supposed to be.

[Moh]

My personal favorite is Delicious?!.

20.YEAH YEAH YEAH / Hello Pro All Stars

MC / Jojo Gundan

Results (votes on smartphones) :

Spoiler: show

Crazy Kokoro (Team Fukumura) wins best unit award

but, Team Wada Ayaka wins with the most unit votes total

perform again :
21."Crazy Kokoro" Sato, Onoda / Watashi, Choito Kawaii Urabanchou (S/mileage)

It is announced that as a reward for winning, Team Wada Ayaka will select 3 of the units (TBA) to perform at 2019 Winter H!P concert in Sendai, Sapporo, and Hiroshima

Seems popularity voting wasn't a big factor. This wasn't a popularity contest. This was a singing battle. The best team won because the members had shown their talent and singing skills in these units.

Fukumura praises her team units for singing really well and exciting the crowd.

Out of all the things they’ve done for the 20th anniversary, this is by far my favourite.
Looking at reactions on twitter a lot of people were asking for this to become a yearly thing and I really hope it does.

The units and the song choices really exceeded my expectations.
The Aa! revival unit is a lot better than I was expecting for example!

Also I was right! Maria did bring out the ponytails for a special occcassion! I love the Milkyway revival unit!!
I thought they were just gonna do another cool song but this is so much better. I love all the outfits!!

Also I’ve been saying this for forever but Maria really is the new Koharu and Akane is the new Aika, in terms of the personality and role they play in Morning Musume.
