I was wondering if they would again this year. I'm so used to being able to see the full performances now, I'd be sad to go back to a digest.

- Hayashi Niina with and without glasses. She designed her own outfit.




- Goto Hana is participating in the test for the 2nd time. The songs she chose will show everyone her improvement in 16 beat rhythm, which is her weakness. She also chose these songs to bring peace to the world. In her practice video, she doesn't do the choreography, but instead shows her moving to the rhythm.

I feel like if there's an iyasaremashita de-shō to be won this year, it will go to Niina.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I'm so excited for the Test this year, in part because I'm way behind where I usually am in learning about the newest additions and it'll be a great place to get a solid first look at them in action. And since my sister is here, maybe I can talk her into watching it with me.

Honestly, I know they gave their reasons for not giving out the other awards, but I'm really disappointed they didn't (and not just because I was hoping that Hinoha and Yukiho would win an award, they did amazing!). Other than that, everyone did a good job, even the new girls. I'm not even mad at Toa's performance. It sounds like the new KSS got maybe 2-3 lessons and it's been what, 2 months since they joined? I don't think that's necessarily enough time to improve your stamina to the point of being able to sing and dance at the same time if you didn't have it already.

Congratulations to the winners! It was really hard for me to decide whether to vote for Mifu or Hana.
