Stage Team 4 [Yume wo Shinaseru Wake ni Ikanai] (2015/12/03 - 2018/05/18)

They've changed it to say Chiba Erii will be doing part of this show on the 14th. I guess just the easier songs, or the ones she has learnt so far? She always looks quite terrified to me so I really hope it goes well for her.

 

12/18 (Shibuya Nagisa Seitansai):

Ino Miyabi, Izuta Rina, Iwatate Saho, Omori Miyu, Okada Nana, Kawamoto Saya, Kitazawa Saki, Kojima Mako, Komiyama Haruka, Takahashi Juri, Nishino Miki, Murayama Yuiri, Sato Kiara, Nozawa Rena, Okada Ayaka, Shibuya Nagisa

Finally Renachan Debut hehehehe

 

Izuriina Seitansai 12/14

• Saho subbed Mio in Bye Bye Bye; imho it's a much better group with this lineup
• Chiba Erii subbed Saho in TonariBanana
  
• Kiichan subbed Nagisa in KiokuDilemma
• Juri made Erii cry pretty hard during Intros, busting her chops
  
• Izuriina seitansai/oshi cam hasn't been great to Izuriina, since it's also debut night for Erii & Kiichan; lots of group shots-- definitely a noticeable difference from, let's say, a Sayanee seitansai/oshi cam...at least it's better than that shitty Naachan seitansai/oshi cam that was all EXTREME close-ups LOL
• Erii dipped out after TonariBanana, I think, so that's something that'll affect future performances
• Miki read Chori's fun letter to Izuriina-- she did a Chori voice impression that is SPOT-ON

 

The cameraman was an Erii oshi or something, that got annoying for me. Nothing against her- I just don't find her entertaining lol (but she is cute and everything!)
@CherryBonchan do you mean she wasn't in the songs after the units? Because I saw her in the second set of group songs

 

yeah, I didn't see her-- I certainly didn't see Erii during the encore & seitansai stuff, so she's probably gonna be age-restricted or something

I don't think it was an "Erii-oshi," because 1. she's really too new to have any oshis LOL, and 2. it was her Team 4 debut, so that's why DMM-cam pushed her hard on a seitansai night. That Izuriina seitansai cam was 60% group, 30% Izuriina, 15% Erii, 5% Kiichan LOL

Most seitansai cams are like 80% [member] & 20% group, for perspective

 

^Yeah I checked again and it was just for Mori e Ikou, after that I didn't see her
The Erii oshi thing was a joke tho lol, but I do think AKB theater does "fan cam" a lot more

 

Nagisa seitansai 12/18

• Nagisa oshicam was unfairly on Nagisa ALL NIGHT; juxtapose that with the Izuriina oshicam & you can see a clear difference in camera-nepotism. All I ask for is consistency between oshicams. It's a jerk move if a LOD doesn't make a member feel special on their seitansai :/
• Having said that, Nagisa looked like she was having FUN last night, which made the show FUN
• During Saho's intro, she let Nagisa do the hayai/osoi calls !!
• Kiichan subbed Mio in ByeByeBye, better than Mio lineup, not as good as Saho lineup from 12/14
• Rena subbed Ryoha in Confession...it wasn't good. You can REALLY tell the difference between her voice & Naachan/Yuiri/Miyupon's. Her voice is too petite for such a heavy rock ballad...I kinda hope she switches to ByeByeBye or HajimeteJelly.
• VTR was on Nagisa, just like it was on Izuriina during her seitansai, so expect to see a member's VTR on their seitansai night :3
  
• Nagisa's seitansai letter was from ALL members of Tentoumuchu !!
  • Mio, Ryoha, Meru wrote really short, sweet letters
  • Naachan & Mako wrote really nice, sweet letters
  • Naachan read Miki's funny letter & Miki came up behind her to mouth the entire letter to Nagisa, then Naachan passed the mic to Miki for "Nishino Miki yori"-- it was the funniest, cutest, dumbest, most Tentoumuchuest thing in a hot minute

 

Next Performance Lineup

12/22 (AKB48 Mobile Limited Performance)
Ino Miyabi, Izuta Rina, Iwatate Saho, Omori Miyu, Okada Nana, Kawamoto Saya, Kitazawa Saki, Kojima Mako, Komiyama Haruka, Takahashi Juri, Nishino Miki, Murayama Yuiri, Sato Kiara, Nozawa Rena, Okada Ayaka, Shibuya Nagisa

12/25
Ino Miyabi, Izuta Rina, Iwatate Saho, Omori Miyu, Okada Nana, Kawamoto Saya, Kitazawa Saki, Kojima Mako, Komiyama Haruka, Takahashi Juri, Nishino Miki, Murayama Yuiri, Sato Kiara, Nozawa Rena, Okada Ayaka, Sasaki Yukari (Team A)

 

They're getting these girls to work on CHRISTMAS DAY? That's fucked up. I hope it's an early or REALLY LATE performance...idols & wota have family too...

Side note: I LOVE that Nagisa has been sticking around Tokyo for these stages...maybe she'll be here for all the NYE stuff AKB does?

 

That's right, Riorin has not yet debuted for Juri Team 4 [even though Erii has? LOL]. But Riorin's schedule is like this-- must be strict parents or school, I've only seen her perform twice this year when Miichan Team 4 had Idol no Yoake...

Nagisa is my fave of the Juri 4 kennins to have around-- she's been very playful with Sahoo during intros which leads to some funny stuff :3 now they both annoy Ayaka DDDD

 

Christmas in Japan is not a family centric holiday like in many places in the western world. To my understanding, it's seen more of a romantic event for couples or a day for friends to get-together. It's also a normal business day.

 

Rio is injured leg from May. She absents all stages from that

 

In Japan, Christmas doesn't have a great importance at all like in most christian countries. Only the commercial aspect matters there.
However the new year is a very important day.

 

AKB girls are supposed to be single and wota are mostly single = no problem at all

 

^I guess that's why it had to be Team 4 that performs on Christmas Day, frees up time for the senpais lol

 

Riorin was only supposed to be out 4 weeks though. It has now been 7 and a half months. Dislocated kneecap don't take that long to recover from....
