Ooh,Takamina centered most of After rain. Interesting.

 

The center of After rain is Mayuyu x Yuko, so I like to call Takamina's position the "Himitsu Center" (Secret Center). She is in the center position in between the double center, and centers the 'dance' sequence. Other 'Himitsu Centers' are Jurina in Sayonara Crawl (Jurina is standing at 0, when Mayuyu and Paruru are at 1)

^ Thanks to Sasshi all the kids in Japan know how to say, "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, baby" now. Too bad I have no idea who Lionel Messi is.

 

Some Spanish soccer player.
The Spanish commentor was a bit rude though. [aup]

 

No, he's Argentinian and most of the fans around the world believe he's the best soccer player in the world... (many even believe that he's already the best player ever) He's often in the Top10 of the most popular and the highest-paid athletes...
PS: you live in Spain and didn't know it? Even if you don't like soccer, It's quite surprising... [shock]

 

I've lived in Barcelona for a while and Messi was absolutely everywhere. However, anywhere else in Spain he didn't seem like that big of a deal, so I can get how even if you live in Spain you wouldn't know exactly who he is, particularly if you don't care about football. He plays for the Barça, but not for the national Spanish team. And there's the Catalunya vs Spain factor too, so I get Trinu on that one.

 

Yes, I guess you're right. That reminds me of the time I was in Japan. I was surprised every time I met someone who didn't know what AKB48 was. It actually depends on the person, so I guess it's just that fellow Trinu doesn't follow anything related to soccer...

Wow, you got that up quickly.... I kind of posted how sad I was about the performance inside of another thread.

However,aside from the new members, voices werent all over the place.... The sound, though, made me sad because it sounds so different from live singing two years ago (of course--most of the members performing are different).

 

It's amazing how there are still a lot of versions I didn't know of...

They're really raking it in. I wonder how the other year end rankings are going to be like?
