Stage Murayama Team 4 5th [Te wo Tsunaginagara] (2018/06/06 - 2022/04/04)

I'm disappointed some of my favorite members of the team (Kaori, Macharin, Hattsu) are not performing in shonichi, but hopefully they have a good reason and will perform regularly later on.

I do wonder with new teams having so many members (including Eitos), will they have set unders for units, for example, if member X can't perform, they will always try to get member Y to perform instead of her? Or will they just put members in whatever unit needs a member that day (as seems to be the case with Team 8 stages)?

 

Kaori struggles with dances, so she probably needs more time to get it down.

 

Yeah, I know. To be honest, as much as I like Kaori, I was surprised she was promoted to full member before some other members of her gen who seem to be better performers. That being said, Kaori is a lovely girl, really cute and nice so I wish her the best and hope she can do well in her new team

 

Normally, for non-eito stages, under members will learn the positions of one or a few members, and thus only perform when those specific members can't--the girls with a huge number of theater performances over the past few years learned lots of different positions. However, because there are so many eito members on the new teams, and it's such a big deal to ship them in to perform, they might do things differently this time around.

 

Units:

Spoiler

M05. Glory days (Yamauchi Mizuki, Hama Sayuna, Sato Kiara / Backdancers: Kurosu Haruka, Tada Kyoka, Ishiwata Sena, Yoshihashi Yuzuka)
M06. Kono Mune no Barcode (Okada Nana, Onishi Momoka, Omori Miyuu)
M07. Wimbledon e Tsureteitte (Asai Nanami, Sakaguchi Nagisa, Tatsuya Makiho)
M08. Ame no Pianist (Murayama Yuiri, Sato Nanami, Gyoten Yurina)
M09. Choco no Yukue (Kawamoto Saya, Nagano Serika, Taya Misaki, Takahashi Ayane)

 

Who’s center for Choco no Yukue?

 

I think it was Sayaya.

 

First girl listed was apparent center, although I'm not sure about Wimbledon.

 

I think Nagisa was the center for Wimbledon.

 

Damn, Naachan in Kono Mune no Barcode... My least favorite unit song of this stage. Oh well, I trust she can improve the song with her great performance anyways

 

so, zukki and the cm queen are the top 2 for this stage, huh

Naachan's crying Zukki's crying I'm crying everyone's crying TT
This was a very good stage. Still wondering why the other members didn't appear at the shonichi but it probably has a sensible reason.

 

Article just published by ModelPress about the new stage with an extensive gallery of photographs (click on thumbnails for larger versions):

Cause it's usually 16 people?
They always make a selection for the shonichi.

 

Super glad Naachan got barcode. It's one of the rare songs that isn't super associated with a particular girl and I believe she would be able to do something great with that song since it also suits her very well!

 

Zukkii was center for most of the group songs, yeah. And I think center for the stage in general. Not sure who the cm queen is.

It sounded like either they were singing live during Ame no Pianist, or the vocal track was mixed in at too low a volume vs. the instrumentals. Either way it wasn't as impactful as it should have been. I hope they can fix that for next time.

 

Hama in glory days where she belongs nice

Also they didn’t use the 4-2 costumes for Barcode thank god. Or the camo.
