S/mileage Opening Act performance as 9nin is hee-------re!

That's one giant S/mileage.
The girls seem well-integrated, though, even though no one adopted anyone else's lines.

[Denki]

I don't think the new members will adopt any lines other than unisome.

As for the girls, Murotan makes it seem like she joined group a long time ago. Aikawa had times where she had some problems with the dance, but I'm sure she'll get better soon.

uh oh

I feel like with the exception of Meimei, I like the new girls more than I like the rest of the group

[Amped]

it was just really messy and poor song choice to start out with.

The dance, it seemed so odd and clumped together. At some points I felt like the girls would hit each other or bump into each other. Really makes me think "wow, MM makes it look so easy to do formation dance and position change fluidly" but I guess it really does take time. With that said, they've all just started out being together, being a big group, so I think itll definitely be better in future performances.

Love the new girls though, Murota seems so pro, and ofcourse Sasaki being all energetic, and then there's pretty Maho still getting used to things. She didnt do bad at all though.

Every time I saw Mizuki she looked like she was happy to be there and having a ton of fun. I love getting that feeling from someone, and watching them have fun makes me feel even more like I'm having fun. Getting all of that during a concert performance is exactly what made Risa click with me when I was first getting into Morning Musume/H!P, and contributed to her becoming an all-time favorite.

(That's not at all to say the other new girls weren't happy, excited, or having fun. Something about Mizuki stood out to me when she was on screen.)
