They look amazing though.
I know what you're talking about, I especially noticed it with Rairii's lines (and in the Budokan performances for both songs as well). They have a handful of members that have a great foundation and have the potential to be very good vocalists, but it really wouldn't hurt to have them do more ear training, especially if they're songs are going to become more complex vocally which is what this new era is hinting towards. I don't know how their IEMs specifically work (because there's many different uses for them), but it also doesn't help if you have others being offkey in your ear before you do your own parts -- Without ear training, you can easily get messed up from that. Even Sakua and Chel, who were always positioned as the best singers prior to all of the newbies coming in, have some bad habits that could easily be fixed with more attention/work given to them.
