This was a really fun show to watch! All of the girls got good screen time and everyone looked so cute

But I can't help feeling bad for Ayumi though since the whole "special dance skills" goes to straight to Riho. Like a year ago it featured both of them as The dancers but recently it's just Riho (who IMO is the better dancer). I dunno, maybe it's because Ayumi haven't portrayed any another TV-show persona yet, that I've have noticed, and I feel she's been left empty handed. I know she is a really sweet girl and the wota have given her some character traits but I haven't seen any of it being presented as: This is me, Daaishi!

Same here! Exactly how I felt when she put up her hand for the appeal segment but wasn't chosen. I was just curious what would she have done...most probably dance too like Riho but the whole "great talent in dance" had recently been very focused on Riho. I know she's a better dancer too but Ayumin's not bad, I just think they should've danced together and show off their collaboration. Well aside from dance and "poor Daaishi" character from wotas, I don't know how she can appeal otherwise.

Who's that guy? I've seen him several times already. Seems funny and the girls are taking him that way too.
