Tsunku brings them back all together. Tsunku and the female choreographer figure what they want to do next with them. Tsunku checks laptop. girls spread out again. they are trying to line them up with the markers on the floor.
all girls are dancing to Uchouten Love. they all know it. music stops. They make them sit down in a corner. they make one girl come up and give her the mic. singing by each girl starts. they sing Uchouten Love. first girl forgets the lyrics. after she sings the song, Tsunku spends a few long minutes asking them a couple of questions. Tsunku looks on his laptop with the camera on the girl. Tsunku moves his head to the song. next girl singing doesnt put enough energy to her singing this high energy song, but she is moving her hand to the beat. he asks how you feel after that. she starts to cry. tears run down her cheek but she is able to answer Tsunku's questions. she sniffles. she gives him a funny answer.
next girl sings. the nico nico video provides their names at the top of the player. this girl has good singing control. she was about to forget lyrics and but manages to get it out of her mouth. also good sense of rhythm. she gives a confident answer to how she feels. she has a big smile.
