Kasahara Momona's comment :
Thanks to everyone who found this comment. My name is Kasahara Momona!

To me, the "YOU" in "YOU&ME" is also you who saw this video by a trivial chance, you who always send me your passionate support, my family and friends who support and love me wherever I am, everyone who listens to this song and everyone who has been involved in my life, I mean everyone who listens to this song and everyone who has been involved in my life.
I am really happy to be me, to have met this song, to be on stage with these members and to have people watching me.
Thank you again for having me in your lives, for your support and encouragement. I know that as we pursue this dream together, you will be as anxious, impatient, and emotional as I am, maybe more so. I know that we will always be together and fighting. I will never stop until everyone who supports me feels happy and rewarded for supporting Kasahara Momona! I will go all the way to the top. Please watch me!
I can't tell you how much I love and appreciate you. I am proud of all the choices and paths I have made in my life, the identity created by my favorite memories, the dreams I have had, and the fight I am fighting for now. Then all I have to do is keep going!
I'm gonna make my big, big dreams come true!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick rant (I need to get this off my chest).

Spoiler: show

Having already said I don't watch this show a lot, my current picks would be:

Spoiler: show

The rest of the spots could go to anyone and I wouldn't care much. Although I must say, I am surprised by the popularity of Takami Ayane and Yamamoto Suzu in the rankings and the amount of impressions/views on SNS. Are these two very good, or have they featured somewhere before?

Not sure about Takami Ayane, but Yamamoto Suzu was a trainee with Source Music (Korea). Some people tend to keep an eye out for former trainees.

As far as the editing goes, I'm afraid that's just a thing Mnet has a habit of doing.
Every season they have someone they either don't show that much, or do "evil editing" to make certain contestants seem like horrible people. :wacko:

Takami Ayane was just an ordinary high schooler, who was part of her high school's Light Music Club in Kyoto. She was a main vocalist in her band called "Vintage". She also won "Best Vocalist" award twice in a contest.

She is a homegrown talent that people like to root for.

I think it is also because she made a big first impression on the judges for the first time she appeared

Oh ok that explains it. But yeah, this Ayane girl is really good at singing. No wonder then.

Yeah, I guess they need the views, and evil editing gets them those views so...
