Event / Concert AKB48Group Singing Contest (2019/01/11)

I thought Miru and Amiru were easily the best from NMB so I'm glad to see them ranking high (I completely missed Nattsu since I was just sitting at the piano at that time and tried to play along for some reason lmao)

 

didn't expect Miyu to ranked higher than Yura

 

honotan, dokawaki, yura !!
hopefully they allowed miyumiyu to perform anisong in final

 

Missed Nattsu? That's quite a capital crime.

Some other girl entered Nattsu category(Yura for example), but rest are quite forgettable.

 

I have to rewatch STU to properly assess, was so good and varied

damn the NGT piano sound is so perfect I cannot focus on the vocals at all lol

 

Aanya did great!

HKT has been pretty decent so far.

 

wait !
They are allready ranking them ?

 

What they show was the NMB vs STU rank.

Highest ranking girl out of the 2 groups was STU's Yano Honoka

 

T O O . S O O N.

Right, Bibian?

 

Hazuki did really well. I've loved her voice for a few years now

 

HKT dominating the ranking after 4 groups.

Wow, go HKT members!

I haven’t had the chance to listen to many of these yet, but I’m not surprised with Erena, Yui, and Aki’s rankings. They all got that gorgeous Japanese singing voice that you hear in OSTs.

 

I re-listened 2 times and still very... confused about the results. Cultural differences I guess, lel
but no place for Imamura with the impeccable and unrivaled dynamics control? Neither for the bewitching and fervent Otani's rendition? I'd certainly take Sugahara (Saki) flawlessly hitting the rhythm in the chorus over the other wobbly performances of the same song... Utterly puzzled.

 

I watched the performance clips and I wonder how they choose the rankings... but maybe professional's ears heard 'something' else

 

No one talking about Noepii? DOES PEOPLE NOT REMEMBER THE NGT VS HKT THING LOL

Edit: so I listened to some of the videos and it seems like the judges were valuing more techniques than their actual voices. Nacchan’s voice was a little too grainy for my liking but her head voice was very nice. When compared to Mirurun, it’s like the 100th floor and 10th floor lol. Voice wise, I like something more like Yamasaki Amiru’s where it’s a bit more clear.

I love Jiina but I’m surprised she’s that high? Her voice was quite shaky :// Toyonaga Aki took me by surprise. It was like listening to a baby Wasamin.
