noa - Any angle / THE FIRST TAKE

[Idol Tenshoku Ondo]

This might be a room temp take but I don't get the point of The First Take. It's kinda neat but...most of the people on it sing live at their concerts where there's also no do-overs. Why is the channel so popular?

Lots of exposure and promotion for their artists, just like they would on TV.

Which is why I want H!P to do the same.

Hear me out UF, please start making live studio performances for H!P to promote their new songs on youtube. They barely perform on TV anymore (not everyone can see their performances), so why not do something on youtube. They can't always rely on music videos or live concert footage.

Philosophy no Dance's Cat's Eye and Cup Ramen Program from their single Cup Ramen Program. Had it on my mind, Cup Ramen Program is one of their best singles since going major.

The singer in this video is Yoyoyochan, a YouTuber who does imitations of other artists. I was following her a couple of years ago and at that time posted a video of hers, but the algorithm being what it is, she eventually fell off my YT home page and basically I forgot about her. Undeservedly, because she's an excellent singer in her own right.

Here she's singing Fruits Zipper's overexposed "Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro," and imitates the members of the group. But at about the 1:45 mark she also imitates Miyamoto Karin, Takeuchi Akari and Suzuki Airi (as well as other artists)! Not sure if she's entirely successful but I still definitely appreciate anybody's efforts at keeping H!P soloists relevant. And she has a fairly substantial following - this video has over 320K views, so kudos to her.

Dang, look at all the likes on that post of hers. Her vocals have really improved, but I'm not big on the song. (Tbf I still miss her "glowly days" era, lol.)
