IZONE News and Discussion Thread

i wanna see the special VTR during their practice session later, i want to see them interact

 

Bad news for you. There’s zero interact between izone and 46/48 in the VTR. Just some practice in front of a mirror together

 

ouch, haha

 

The Mama Japan perf was beyond awesome! The Produce VTR brought back a lot of memories. Lol, honda was grinning like a villain after the chaekura part but then danced like a boss. And sakura got mixed up with Izone's best dancers but did okay. Jo yuri and Nako duet was great part!

The white and blue costumes were really great especially for rumor which imo was the highlight of the performance. I never thought hyewon and sakura could perform rumor but both did really good and hyewon rap parts and deep voice were really cool. Hyewon's bare shoulder was almost as hot as murase sae! And sakura leveled up her body roll -- she's now better than whatever that cartoon animal was that she was being compared to lol. Jo Yuri really killed that high note part and it was well within her range -- she did it like it was nothing. And her hair covering her face in several instances was really cute. Yujin's dancing isn't praised as much (as opposed to her singing) but imo she's one of the best dancers in Izone (same with chaewon in the mama korea perf) and she was terrific in rumor.

Hard to equal this but I'm looking forward to the Hongkong perf.

 

The group arriving at Incheon Airport from Japan early this morning (12/13):

Hehehe, the K-lines better be mentally prepared if it's going to be like a normal idol variety show.....

the What's in the Box segment, if any, isn't gonna be just corn or letteuce
the good o electrotizing games
the sushi will not be simple like Sakura's umeboshi onigiri

looking forward for the show

 

I know that’s Zakiyama on the left, but who’s the comedian on the right?

 

Tsukaji Muga.

 

I feel like it would be difficult to "get away with it" any other way. I'm pretty sure there would have been some business implications had they tried to "cheapen" the IZ*ONE group by suggesting the Jline were not full members in the sense that they were members of something else, as well.

HK time ? Wow ... They arrived this morning & now they are getting ready for HK.

Reminds me of sum1 I knew who spent more time in a plane than his apartment lol

 

I notice that, in every Japanese articles, IZ*One is introduced as Sakura Miyawaki's group.

It was assumed that AKS/Akimoto would use IZ*One to promote AKB48 internationally but, in fact, it goes the vice versa, AKS/Akimoto use(s) AKB48 to promote IZ*One in Japan.

To think about it, the speech from Keyaki team in full Korean may have a meaning. Idol School 46 may be false but they likely are eyeing on K-pop. If they meant to communicate to inter fans, they better spoke English but they meant to communicate/to please the Korean.

They went cheap and reused costumes, too cheap for the much promoted performance.

And, oh, Nako is such an enviable fan girl. As Twice's fan, she got her promotion period overlapped with Twice and attended same events. As Mai's big fan, she got to practice and perform next to Mai. Meanwhile, Sakura has not met her Irene yet and IZ*One may be invited to no gayo. (SBS and KBS's gayo have announced and no IZ*One, only MBC is left.)

If anything, it puts IZ*One in the same relationship to one between 46 and 48 and not sister group. This puts Fromis9 in odd situation. Technically, Fromis9 is IZ*One's sister but, unlike IZ*One, it has no relationship to 46 and 48.

Here is the VTR but, yeah, as mentioned, there was minimal interaction. The interview also just them saying it felt unusual to practice together especially with IZ*One.
