I guess no one reads Team 8's thread.

 

Are you telling me that @Mana didn't read that post? And here I was worrying for nothing.

 

I don't have any user blocked. I did see that the performance was posted in other threads but not in this one (which is the thread of the song) and not the YouTube link, so why not

The photo was just a bonus lol

or did I... maybe I've read too many things so nothing really surprises me anymore

 

If Nemohamo Rumor was released around the golden era, the lineup might be like this:

I just needed a few self-convincing to imagine those graduated members were actually singing it.

Also a band cover + performance from SITBand (was this posted before?)

I think this song is still the most impactful one out of the three singles of the after-covid Era.

 

Acchan would have centered it. Possible with Matsui Jurina as center. And Takamina/Tomochin as their wings (ala formation in Everyday Kachuusha). As a reference, Beginner (which came right after the sousenkyo single at which acchan surprisingly didnt win that year .. i am 10000% sure they made beginner to have several center options to avoid fans' rage and test the water ... even with that condition, acchan still became the main / de facto single center and not yuko.

During acchan era, even if the songs were supposed to be a cool song (which is Yuko's speciality), guess who becomes the center

 

While I would love a single where Yuko is given priority over Maeda, no way in hell this would happen outside a sousenkyo single wherein Yuko wins.

And Sayaka and Rena being given better positions over Jurina, Mayu? Can happen I guess, but unlikely.

Interesting and I guess whatever makes golden era fans happy I guess.

 

I believe that either Sayaka or Takamina would have been the center. Jurina would also be an option, but It's definetely not a Yuuko song.
