    I found different performance with Sorara a few days ago and she really impressed me. She seemed not to be nervous or awkward at all, her movements were super clear. She also seems to be less afraid of eye contact with the audience (but that's just a personal impression, as I was not part of the audience). If I would not have known that it was a Zenza Girl performance, I would not have guessed it is. ^^
    I now watched the linked perfomance with Niinan and Aichan, and this one gives me similar vibes. Both make little mistakes here and there, but they overall seem very confident on their position, it's very nice to watch them.

    Apart from that, I liked Mayuu's and Erichan's performance. They seemed a bit nervous/awkward, but also as if they'd enjoy being on stage and their expressions and smiles are adorable. <3

    Agree. Sorara, Niinan, and Aichan certainly felt comfortable on stage.
    I'd argue the other girls are not that far behind them though!
    For Kokko and Nonchan, they have unique expressions, I still cannot read their enjoyment from their eyes.
    Still haven't seen Yuki's performance so I can't say anything, the other Sorara performance you saw might be the one? Can you post a link to it?

    Also do you guys think those are live singing? If so they did plenty well for kenkyuusei, although Heart Gata Virus is certainly not a difficult song to sing and dance.

    Question for AKB48 17ki in 48times June issue: https://48times.com/news?tag=研究生特集
    4. Special skills and strengths?
    • Ota Yuki: Soft ears that can be moved; Copying songs just by hearing them because I have sense of sound
    • Kohama Kokone: I don't really have any special skills, but I want to make one now!
    • Sato Airi: Cheerleading, which I have been doing for 10 years! My strength is that I always have a smile on my face.

    At least we know that she is trying to smile more and her can't smile (or don't like) character is not an act.

    Kokko
    I am so inexplicably drawn to Kokko.... her performances just have something interestingly magical to them lmao!
    Hotechan has stolen my heart with her voice. I cannot get over it, she sounds so damn adorable!!!
    Sorara, while being the weakest singer of the gen imo (the whole generation seems to be quite good at singing) has a really good energy while performing.
    Niinan just seems really confident overall, am loving that about her

    I just love Kokko to be honest... everything about her draws me in lmao
    The way she struggles to smile, but wants to smile (to be honest I do hope her smiles stay something rare... it would make them all the more special)
    Her expressions are really quite unique and I just LOVE HER

    Some weeks ago I applied for 2 tickets for online talks today with 17th Gen members. The procedure was that I just ordered '17th Gen tickets' and then 9 days ago I was able to select the groups of members who I wanted to talk with (there was one group of two and three groups of three each). As my initial joint favourites Niinan and Mizumin were both in the same group (along with Erichan) I chose that for my first one, and recently Sorara has been gaining my attention so I chose the group she was in (along with Yukitan and Mayuuchan) for my second.

    Initially I was hoping that each member would appear one at a time in each talk (as happened with the NMB48 group talks using the same WithLIVE app) but in fact all 3 members appeared together each time, with staff-san at the ID check asking me to turn my tablet into landscape mode so I could see all of them. I still only had 15 seconds for each talk so I didn't really have the time to talk individually to each member. Therefore for each talk session after having quickly introduced myself as being from England I simply greeted each member in turn. However I did get nice surprised reactions from all 6 when they discovered that I knew their nicknames! After that I just had time to say that they're all 'kawaii' before it was time to thank them and say 'bye bye'. Interestingly though Sorara said "Nice to meet you, have a nice day!" so maybe she's able to speak some English?

    It was definitely a good experience other than it was rather too short. I'll continue to follow all of the 17th Gen and when individual online talks become available I'll then choose my favourite members to speak to.

    Except for Niinan, Nonchan and Mayuu-chan, all of these answers make me think these girls are genuinely interested in AKB48.

    Especially Erichan's choice makes me very happy, Wasshoi B (or Bacchikoi K) is one of my favourite theatre songs. I also think Avocado Jane~shi would really suit Hotei-chan and her baby energy. Mizumin obviously loves the nostalgic songs; I had to check where Sorara is from 'cause she chose a couple NMB songs, but she's not from Osaka. I like Aichan's choices as well cause she likes angels so she chose the songs that have the word tenshi in them [hehe]

    17th gen Audition Documentary first half was good, went a bit into their first job (I assume taking photos for photosets?) and just a little bit of footage from their audition.
    Some were pretty pro at those posing already :shock:
    A few girls were so nervous during the audition they cried (the ones shown were Mizumin, Kokko, Erichan)
    Sorara left me an impression of really being comfortable for this job and her answers were properly thought too.
    And in the end they celebrated Erichan's birthday which coincided with the day of their first job.

    Can't wait for part 2 next week to see more interactions!:2nd:

    idk if I can put the bilibili link here so I'll just put the official teaser (basically the first 2 mins)

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Interesting, source?
    Who knows, Sasshi was also living together with Chihou gumi and ended up being a top member.

    Regarding the 4 17ki members that lived together, they must be
    Kokko (Hokkaido)
    Mizumin (Hokkaido)
    Hotechan (Hyogo)
    Erichan (Osaka)
    since the rest are from around Tokyo area.

    Birth of new chihougumi?[hehe] the last one spawned several notable members of 48 group and long lasting friendships.

    I did read of how Mizumin felt that Tokyo people were helpful when she was moving heavy things and Kokko had trouble sleeping because big city is noisy at night.
    Kokko's hometown sounds like fully surrounded with nature (fox sounds, sightings of bears, snakes and deers) so hopefully she can adapt with city life soon.

    Or they might end up really close friends. IZ*ONE lived together in dorms of 2x 6 members, and there were no leaked photos or any fights, from what we know. Those who got double rooms are also still friends. Kang Hyewon and Kwon Eunbi, for example, shared a bedroom and they were on a show together very recently together with Jo Yuri (who shared a room with HKT48 Nako). It's quite common in K-Pop in general, and hasn't caused that many issues.

    But even besides that, I believe it's fairly normal for AKB48 members to live in the same apartment building provided by AKB48 management if they don't have family living in Tokyo. It was also one of the plot elements in the group's manga AKB49.

    Hasemomo was the rare exception, not Sasshi :)

    That's right :)

    FYI, Yuri didn't leave any birthday comment for Nako :cry:. Hyewon, Chaeyeon, Eunbi and Hii did. Where are the rest of IZ*ONE girls? (It's funny. We can see a very obvious trend here lol)
