I haven't been keeping up with UF licks much lately.. or at all.
but wow Asahi and Reina are still so awkward around each other lol. It's kinda cute how their talks aren't connecting with each other though... or maybe it's just because of Maachan's letter?

Oh and get whoever's working on the translation and typesetting of the subtitles over to Harosute and show them how it's done with minimal intrusion

[Sohee]

I don't think they're awkward at all? o.O Asahi is getting MORE awkward on reading/talking when she is. But aside from that... UF LICKS is hilarious because Asahi's such an airhead. lol

Hmm I guess that's just the style of the presentation they're going for, kind of TV announcer-like, maybe?
I was thinking they look awkward because it's easy toy see there's a lack of natural rapport/back-and-forth when they're supposed to be talking to each other but yeah as I said it actually makes the interacting oddly charming instead of making it hard to watch so I don't actually mind it all that much

[Sohee]

Yeah, Reina mentioned that in the beginning of it when she started there. That she was told to "be calm" and all. So it's supposed to be that way.
Their obvious lack of memorizing/continuous (esp Asahi) looking down on the paper kinda bugged me for a while, but I guess they wanna keep it that way or they would have changed the format by now? Maybe wanna emphasis that they're not professionals or something.

LICKS BOX is definitely way more relax and it definitely shows that they're not awkward around each other. Except for the amount of awkward that Asahi's airheadness is lol.

Maybe wanna emphasis that they're not professionals or something.

That's the key. This is the artists' show. Hello! Station is the idols' show.

EDIT: Wait, you said not professionals. Um…
